Resistance: Burning Skies Release Date

Sony today confirmed the release date for Resistance: Burning Skies, the portable shooter headed to PlayStation Vita.

The game hits stores on May 29 in North America. Insomniac Games, creators of the first three Resistance titles for PlayStation 3, are passing the development torch for the game over to Nihilistic Software, who previously worked on PlayStation Move Heroes and Zombie Apocalypse.

Insomniac Games stated last month it was no longer developing titles in the Resistance series after the third game.

  • So this is technically Insomniac's last Resistance game? They're done with the franchise now right? hopefully they make more, or whoever takes it up makes a good one
  • Wow I can't beleive that screen shot is from a handheld. The power of Vita is amazing.
  • if....if i say third will i get beat up? Resistance 3 was pretty good but after 1 they just went downhill :\
  • Looking forward to it.

  • Looks nice.

  • I can't wait for this one. I am looking forward to this one more than any other Vita game. I love the Resistance series, personally I think it is one of the best franchises this generation, and any chance I can get to play a new one in the franchise is one I'm going to jump at. Actually, I am looking forward to it so much that, even though I am pissed at Sony for their half-truths and borderline robbery with some aspects of the Vita, I pre-ordered the early bundle that let's me pick up the Vita on the 15th in anticipation for Resistance since I didn't know the launch date. Now I know I only have 3 months and change!! Hell's yeah!
  • Love resistance and i think this will probably be the test for ps vita shooters and if its mediocre then cod will be the next test.

  • I am getting the vita February 22 and will get this game when it comes out

  • I want a vita. I want to play resistance and uncharted NOW

  • Here's hoping they really show off what the Vita can do and create something truly amazing.

  • I love that screenshot, the vita is the most powerful handheld ever! Can't wait to get one!

  • Oh... a first person on the vita? Im suprised there wasnt one at launch, with the whole two analog sticks. Well i hope its good, havent played the new developent teams stuff.

  • i posted to my blog.

  • You know what else needs a release date? The simpsons hit & run on xbla/PSN. Im sorry but it had to be said.

  • I have never delved to much into the Resistance universe, I had watched a lot of it during my time in my game design course in college as my teacher loved the first one lol... but it seems to me like a very normal mediocre shooting experience. I had played the online for R3 at a friends place and was actually kind of perturbed at how much i disliked it :( Though this screenshot is of impressive visual quality for a handheld, given Nihilistic Software's past experience, especially with Heroes, I cant say I am anticipating it. Insomniac is doing a good thing in letting this die, more Ratchet and Clank anyone???
  • This is one of the reasons I really want a Vita. I'm a huge Resistance fan, as you can tell by my picture.

  • Somebody fix the star wars Xbox advertisement!!!! It's on like every post! Doesn't anyone else notice this?

  • sounds rad!!!

  • Never got into this series so I'm not sure if I'll pick this up but, supposing it reviews well, I may just take this for an entry point to the series.

  • well... if this game is good, then maybe resistance will live on, on the ps3.
