This week sees the official end of online multiplayer support for the Resistance trilogy of games with Sony shutting down the servers 8 April (North American time).
The Twitter account of Insomniac Games — developer of the trilogy — tweeted that members of the Resistance team would be online during the last few days and encouraged fans to get online and play together.

When asked by a fan why the servers were being shut down, the Insomniac Twitter account replied that the call was Sony’s as they maintain online infrastructure.
@hatcheatluv84 there are a large variety of reasons why they have to shut down. Sony makes that call though, not us. They maintain online

Sony announced the closure of online support for a number of games in December last year including Resistance, Gran Turismo 5, MAG, SOCOM: Special Forces and SOCOM: Confrontation. Neither MAG nor SOCOM: Confrontation feature any form of offline mode, so those two games are now essentially unplayable.
Resistance: Fall of Man was a launch title for the PlayStation 3 and spawned two sequels which released 2008 and 2011 respectively.
