French gaming website, Play3-live, have managed to get hold of some scans from the U.S issue of Playstation 3 magazine, shedding further light on Sony's sci-fi first person shooter, Resistance: Fall of Man.

The magazine appears to have an exclusive on a number of levels that have never been seen before and provides details on some of the new features, including weapon pods that display countdown timers and columns that displace air where you can float and gain an height advantage over the enemy. According to the article we'll also get to experience a 'War of the Worlds' type octopus.

Resistance: Fall of Man will also utilise the tilt controller, apparently shaking the controller will allow you to break free from enemies.

Although a lot of the content within the article shows that Resistance: Fall of Man bears some resemblance to the gameplay of Halo 2, including effective melee attacks, the writer is quick to quash the comparisons.
