Console XP | Resistance: Burning Skies Review

Tiffany Morales wrote: "Since the release of the Playstation Vita, Sony has dedicatedly utilized its handheld platform with tons of exclusive games. I never thought I would get my hands on one of my favorite franchises on the Vita, but it’s a letdown that the developers are amongst my least favorite. Yes, playing a first-person shooter on a handheld console is tremendously awesome, but I wish the developers were Insomniac Games. Resistance: Burning Skies is the only first-person shooter on the Playstation Vita, with that said, Nihilistic manages to disappoint once again. Their track record has dramatically gone down the drain since Conan, and it’s a shame Sony continuously associates with developers that bring negativity to their platform. Nihilistic tried resurrecting the Resistance series; instead, they gave future Resistance titles a bad name." (PS Vita, Resistance: Burning Skies) 3.0/10

Dude stop trolling. This is the worst Sony exclusive I have ever played in my life. This game completely killed the resistance series.

maybe it's time to try halo reach? trust me, once you've played that game....resistance will seem like a PS2 title.
mafiahajeri  +   359d ago
oh the irony. You talk crap about ps fanboys then you diss the resistance franchise by mentioninv halo. What does that make you? neutral right? lol
neutralgamer19  +   359d ago
Halo haha kz2 and resistance 3 are better thn halo stop it plz at least u still have gears lol bwahhh
JoeReno  +   359d ago
Im right there with you. a 3 out of ten score should almost be an unplayable mess, and that isnt the case here. Its a solid 7 game. Its no worse than your average shooter, and the fact that its on a hand held shouldnt necessarily give it a free pass, but some are being too critical comparing it to its home console counterparts.

TechGear already used up 2 of his 3 bubbles trolling the first comment and had the balls to bring up a first party console exclusive in an article reviewing the first ever handheld FPS using 2 analogue sticks...

I understand that each console has extreme fanboys, but comparing Halo to any handheld game is just stupid... While you're at it, why don't you compare Uncharted: Golden Abyss to Gears 3...

It received a 2 out of 10 from destructoid and I don't believe ign scored it over a 5. Its a failure and probably ruined this games future considering insomniac is mp now and Sony owns this IP. I am beginning to love the sony fans on n4g as there damage control is more fun to see and hear then anything on my ps3. The xbox now gets a ton of use in our house by the entire family.

3 out of 10... what kind of crap is that?
Brosy  +   359d ago
Resistance has always been a generic shooter. Apparently this one lowered the bar even further. Maybe when COD comes to the Vita, Vita owners will get a proper FPS.
rmedtx  +   359d ago
I'm not saying it's great Brosy but 3 out of 10? that is just way too low. If anything maybe a 6 but not 3.
Dread  +   359d ago
90% of poeple who reviewed this game: this ganme is lackluster and deserves low scores

Sonyfanboys: LALALALALALLALALALALALALALALLA LALALLALA
I am still buying this game it is a sony ewxclusive and all sony exclusives are perfect. If someone says otherwise they hate sony and/or they are part of a global conspiracy organized by MS to destroy Sony.

At least give us some data that validates your claim. :/

@Nutsack (below)

Thanks for the data.

@Ron_Danger (below)

Lets not go that route, my friend. There's already too much unnecessary comments being said. ^^

Xbox fanboys use the same "data" that Microsoft uses... You know, like that 47% market share figure they came up with
Ron_Danger  +   359d ago
It's too late to edit my comment so I'll post another...

Sorry tiffac... Its just if everyone based thier opinions on what someone else said or wrote instead of coming up with thier own opinions, problems arise... I'm looking at you Germany circa 1939

People take this stuff too seriously. Unless the super defensive commenters are actually programmers for nihilistic, no one should care what is said. For example, the movie Tommy Boy got 1 star, and it's one of the funniest buddy/ duo movies of all time.
tiffac008  +   359d ago
No worries bro, you can't avoid people wanting something they hate (for whatever reason) to fail (justified/petty or not). That's just how life is but I think we just make it worse if we add fuel to the fire by throwing insults at them too.

We can be civilize and level headed even when we disagree or gets disagreed on.

5.9 out of 10

Its crap. Resistance/Playstation fanboys will keep saying its good though.
ddurand1  +   359d ago
Just because ppl enjoy the gm doesnt make them fanboys.

There is a demo afterall. If you invest that much energy and thought into reviews then youre as much of a sheep as the ppl you critisize.

Download the demo and judge your yourself. Thats what most levelheaded peopke would do.

They can't play the demo if they don't have a Vita.. And since they can't play it, they shouldnt have an opinion on it

Just like I don't have an Xbox, so I don't have an opinion on thier exclusives (although I did play through the original Gears on my old roommates 360, and aside from one of the easiest final boss fights and none of the cool parts from the commercial with the song Mad World being in the game, it was an awesome game)
ddurand1  +   359d ago

Cant play the demo in europe either according to the blog update. And they want more money for it too, screw this game.

Damn, some are even bigger turds than I thought.

@ Ron

I own a 360, PS3, Wii, PSP and PSVita... So good that if you don't have a 360 and don't comment on it, I talk about what I own and play.

If you don't know yet what one owns or plays, don't have an opinion about them.

Ron_Danger "They can't play the demo if they don't have a Vita.. And since they can't play it, they shouldnt have an opinion on it"

Good advice, maybe you should take it and tell the other trolls who troll everything MS. Did you guys really think that after all the trolling you PS3 fanboys do in the 360 section, that it wasn't going to come back to bit you?

Take your medicine son.

MattyG  +   358d ago
I've seen you trolling in almost every Burning Skies article. If you think it's crap, let all us "Resistance/Playstation fanboys" buy a "crap" game. And really? Metacritic?
TBM  +   359d ago
I have i question since i don't listen to other peoples opinions and want to spend my money however i see fit, does that make me a fanboys for buying something i wanted to play?

i have both this and gravity rush paid in full because i wanted to play BOTH.

What's also funny is the hypocritical 360 fanboys who bought the equally crappy too human for the system. in the end those of you b*tching to the people who spent their own money to buy this look stupid when in fact you've probably bought games that were so called just as bad as the aforementioned too human.

you can't tell people how to spend their own goddamn money.

"I have i question since i don't listen to other peoples opinions and want to spend my money however i see fit, does that make me a fanboys for buying something i wanted to play" shouldn't that same logic apply to people that bought kinect and games for it. with out people on this and every other site calling them idiots?

i agree with you that people are entitled to spend their money as they see fit without having to be called names cause it's something they have no interest in.

but your right, no one should tell you what to like and what you should spend on.
TBM  +   358d ago
apparently it seems people do have the right to tell you how to spend your own money seeing as how i got more disagrees than agrees hahahaha people make me lololol

I'm not really a fan of Resistance games, but I hoped this would be a great addition to the Vita for all the early adopters who deserve something ground breaking. At least has laid the ground work for FPS on a handheld. I guess it is up to developers to take us above and beyond. I really am looking for a reason to get a Vita and unfortunately this game is not it. Nice that a few Resistance fans are enjoying the experience, though.
daggertoes83  +   359d ago
LOL so funny how the sony haters are like " yea this game sucks and they know it sucks but pretend to like it anyway" when they havent even played it. The game is solid. Its not great by any measure. I can see the 6 and 7 ratings and maybe even 5 but anything lower is kinda crazy. I really enjoy the game and the MUSIC is amazing.

Coming from a big fan, I can really only blame the dev. It just looks like no care was given at all. I am also surprised it passed Sony's QA. I think I am going to pass on it for now and pick it up down the road. Its not a 3 bad, but the average is about right. Judging from the demo I would say 6ish looks to be about right. Oh well, I guess ill wait for gravity rush. The vita will get a true FPS soon enough, we all know the system is capable.
TheDivine  +   358d ago
I just grabbed it. I liked the resistance series (loved r3) and i enjoyed retribution. I wanted to see for myself because it looked fun. Its not too bad but very simple, easy, lacks the atmosphere of the series, enemies have no ai, and im 20 minutes in and already have 3 guns and 2 grenades. I can tell il beat this in one sitting which was my main concern. Im too early to judge the whole game but so far its the most unremarkably average fps ive played. If the campaign was twice as long and it had co-op it would be acceptable but so far retribution blows this away. It controls really well though.
edwineverready  +   358d ago
bought this game, because it is the first firstperson mp game, and i bought the vita so i can play online at my job. untill now i can't join a online game serves are overloaded :(

'Yes, playing a first-person shooter on a handheld console is tremendously awesome, but I wish the developers were Insomniac Games.'.

There's the summary of this review people.
edwineverready  +   358d ago
It gives future resistance title a bad name? insomniac said they will not be making anymore resistance titles. this is the last resistance game we will ever see.
