Ted Price, the President of Insomniac Games, has said that the company’s Resistance series could potentially work on a handheld console, pointing to the success of Killzone: Liberation on the PlayStation Portable.

When asked whether or not the series would work on a handheld machine, Price told MTV’s Multiplayer blog, “Sure. I think that’s possible.”

Price then elaborated on the possibilities of a portable version of Resistance, stating that it doesn’t necessarily have to work as a traditional First Person Shooter (FPS) game.

“I think Killzone demonstrated that it doesn’t have to be a first-person shooter. I think Killzone: Liberation was a fantastic game, but a very different game from the original. Anything is possible,” he explained.

Insomniac Games is currently developing the sequel to Resistance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2, due for release exclusively on PS3 later this year.

    I love my PSP, LOVE it. But FPS don't work without the 2nd stick, period. That part of the reason I lik it. You have to make games for it specifically, and can't port "this week's shooter". STOP TRYING TO PUT SHOOTERS ON THE PSP PLEASE.

    They should defo take Killzone: Liberations approach and make it a 3rd person shooter, looking from above.

    Sorry but the 3rd person perspective looking from above on KZ liberations was pants.......dont do it. Maybe try more of a GTA approach for the PSP in terms of view and control

    I would LOVE a Killzone Liberation-ish PSP game from the Resistance universe. Would be so awesome, especially since devs are getting really good at PSP optimization. They look like PS2 games now!

    I like killzone for the psp but resistance I think would not be as hot as killzone you need that second stick on the controller to move I think.

    if this happens, i think High Impact Games will make it. after all, they made R&C: Size Matters. guess they'll make Resistance for psp when they're done with Secret Agent Clank. i think we'll see Resistance on psp. the best-selling ps3 game is sure to sell on the psp. i'd buy it!

    maybe if sony or somone released some kind of attachment for second stick L2 and L3 etc that plugs into the usb port or something, then it would work.

    Devs could do an FPS on the PSP.  Use the analog for walking and the L/R buttons for turning.  Why do they have to complicate all of this?

    I might get a PSP for that game.  I just wish PSP2 would come out.

    Maybe on PSPii, if it had 2 analog sticks, but I don't think any FPS really works on a console with only one.
