Resistance: Burning Skies Coming To Playstation Vita

During the Sony press conference in Cologne, Germany today, the company revealed a new Resistance title for the Vita. Resistance: Burning Skies is being developed by Nihilistic Software, who mentioned that they're working with Insomniac on the title. Unlike the PSP's Resistance: Retribution, this will be a full first-person shooter.

The game takes place right before the events of Resistance 2, as the Chimera are invading the east coast of the United States. Burning Skies puts you in the shoes of NYC fireman Tom Riley, and the gameplay demo took place on Ellis Island. It showcased several pieces of Vita functionality, such as tapping the screen to direct grenades, a dedicated melee button on the front screen, and using Sixaxis motion to peek out from behind cover. In addition, the series' trademark weapon wheel can also be accessed via the touch screen.

No release date was announced for the game, but the brief gameplay demo looked fantastic for a portable.

Awesome. Really awesome. There are so many games for the Vita that I am dying to get my hands on. Uncharted, Resistance, Killzone, Little Big Planet, Mod Nation Racers, Sound Shapes, Bioshock, CoD, the list goes on. Most of these are first party, which to me says Sony is putting a hell fo a lot of muscle behind the Vita. We have heard about a lot of 3rd party support, but I hope it doesn't fade after 3 years like with the PSP and DS. Strong 3rd party support is essential.

Sweet, like I neeeded another reason to get a Vita.

Great games for the Vita but I have way too much money going else where!! I will have to pick it up at a later date when there are a lot more games and firmware updates !

Very happy they officially announced this. I love everything Resistance related so this is a must buy for me.

I've never played Resistance on my PS3 but this sounds like the game that will change all that and make me a believer!
by melons_4_ever Tuesday, August 16, 2011 at 01:34 PM

Just another reason out of many to buy a Vita.
by Eyros Tuesday, August 16, 2011 at 01:53 PM

That point in time in the fiction should be very interesting to watch unfold
by duraigo Tuesday, August 16, 2011 at 01:56 PM

With all due respect to the 3Ds, SUCK IT

The only thing I saw bad In this demo was the Chimera axe death. Looked kind of cheesy, but the rest looked great!

I liked the Retribution story but I wanted it to be first person because that is what the game was... this is better :)
by Vaas Tuesday, August 16, 2011 at 05:05 PM

Truly, there's no reason NOT to get a Vita now. Each game announcement makes me more and more excited for the system to come out :D
by Anthony Tuesday, August 16, 2011 at 05:44 PM

Not to be a ***, but i'm definitely getting the Vita, NOT for this game :/
