Developed by Nhilistic Software, Resistance: Burning Skies is the PlayStation®Vita debut of the popular PlayStation®3 (PS3™) system first person shooter franchise, Resistance®. Resistance: Burning Skies™ features an all-new story in the Resistance storyline. Resistance: Burning Skiesintroduces fireman Tom Riley, an all-new hero who experiences first-hand the initial days of the assault by overwhelming Chimeran forces on the U.S. eastern seaboard. Set in an alternate universe, Resistance: Burning Skiesstays true to the franchisewith unique 1950’s Americana locations, hordes of returning and never-before-seen Chimera, the signature Weapon Wheel with fan-favorite weapons, and a robust multiplayer experience.
Resistance: Burning Skies was pitched on October 19, 2009 as Resistance: Homefront, 2.5 years before it was released on the PS Vita.
Game was a wasted opportunity on the Vita. Really disappointing release that stank of a rough rush job.
Crazy to think this dev team also failed with COD. I think that unproven team bit off more than what they could chew. In a parallel universe they could’ve been the next big thing by this point if they had only tried to be creative with these major game licenses.
If bend studio wasn't busy working on uncharted vita, they would probably have been the best studio to work on that project.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "As the Vita provides a brilliant portable legacy experience for Sony’s other two home consoles (PS1 and PS2), I decided to focus this article on the next in line – the PlayStation 3. Unlike its predecessors, the PS3 far outpaces Vita in terms of power, on top of being built on an extremely unique architecture which meant porting between the two wasn’t as straightforward as it could have been. Still, thanks to engine compatibility and some brilliant efforts from developers, the two consoles shared numerous pieces of software and, where this wasn’t possible, others sought to provide bespoke experiences instead. Altogether this means that the Vita does a pretty good job at providing a portable PS3 experience."
“Sony may have advertised Vita as ‘console quality on the go’, which irritated many buyers due to games with reduced framerates and graphical elements being released“
Why would some people complain about that then but praise the Switch now for doing the same thing?
“The PS3 might not be remembered as Sony’s finest hour in gaming”
I and many others see PS3 as Sony’s best console
I heard comment that the unused port on Vita was originally planned for Vita TV function.
But Sony decided to take it out and release a separated failed Vita TV...
Aww... Vita could have been the Switch, but Sony got greedy and worried Vita will capitalize on PS4 market...
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright "Despite being the first handheld console with dual-analogue controls and claims to offer console-quality experiences on the go, the Vita has an embarrassingly bad library of FPS titles for fans of the genre. With that said, it still houses arguably the best portable shooter ever made in Killzone Mercenary, as well as a wonky port of one of the more recent genre greats in Borderlands 2, providing just enough to satisfy gamers - although plenty more is available through its backwards-compatible library".
The only thing i'm worried about is the touch controls. I heard/read that they are too forced onto the player and unnecessary at times.
I'm literally counting the hours... This is my most anticipated Vita game since the Vita Launched...
I played through Resist. Retribution several times on my PSP, so this will be no different...
Retributions MP was good, but I see this as the real deal and it should be a ton of fun on the Vita.
See you guys online tomorrow!
My PSN is the same as my N4G name..
This will be my first Vita game I've bought since Uncharted at launch.
Looks really good too
Lets hope this is the first of many many great FPS to be released on dual analog handhelds.
Sure, I can play a FPS on my large LED TV, but I can also bring my Vita 20cms from my face and plug in some great noise cancelling headphones and be far more involved in the game than I would with my TV.
Cmon Sony, make it awesome, show us what this Vita is capable of!
Now it comes out in one day. Where are the freakin reviews? We only have one in so far.
