Resistance: Burning Skies is coming to Vita in May photo

I don't think we've had quite enough PlayStation Vita-related posts up on the site today, so here's one more: Resistance: Burning Skies has been given a release date of May 29, 2012.

This sticks out in my mind as one of the earlier Vita games that was used to help build excitement for the handheld, presumably to help showcase that, yes, dual sticks on a portable gaming device is quite the step up from playing first-person games on a PSP.

Not trying to rush Burning Skies out for the immediate launch-window period seems like a smart move. At the same time, expectations for Vita software will certainly be higher by May. Bring it.

Hope it turns out good. Love the idea of burying an axe in some chimera skulls. My biggest question is: since we play a fireman, will our character have a moustache? Deal breaker.

I can't imagine they will release Gravity Rush on the same day so hopefully it was a placeholder date(they also didn't mention it) March would be nice! Pretty excited for this as well. Fan of Resistance so another good game can't hurt. My only wish from what we've seen so far is add a few more textures to the chimera and better death animations.

Seeing as Nihilistic Software has yet to make even a decent game, I'm not holding out hope for this one. I do like the Resistance series though....

Is it me or have each resistance been worse and worse..........

Insomniac bailed on the series. I am not sure if this will turn out great

Stealth: wat 3 was amazing. It brought back the weapon wheel and health packs. And it brought upgrading weapons that seriously changed the way you used each weapon.

Never played them. Just what Ive witnessed with reviews and comments and such.

At least we know for sure the games didnt make much profit given the cost

@Stealth: I do agree the first one was sub-par, and the second one was mediocre. Retribution was fun until you realized that it was Syphon Filter with a new skin. Resistance 3? Now there's a game. The only thing it suffers from is having little to do with the past games, with exception of the Chimera. Replace the Chimera with any other alien and you have a completely different franchise. The virus? Gone. The huge ships? Gone. That one awesome secret resistance? Gone.

Still, if you buy one of the franchise, just buy the 3rd. Everything else is shit. (In my opinion)

Reviews for all three games were very positive so I don't know what you witnessed there. You even go as far to say you haven't played any of them. I really like the 2nd Resistance. The boss fights are great and the sense of scale is really well done. I think going to the two weapon load out was a mistake but it didn't bother me. Regenerating health I could less about, you die much quicker then you do in 3(although I haven't played on Superhuman yet). It also has one of the best coop campaigns for any shooter in my opinion. Plenty of level up options and it added a lot to the package.

It's been a long time since I played the first game but I really enjoyed it when it came out. It had a nice atmosphere and set the lore up. Honestly can't say how well it holds up.

Resistance 3 is easily the best in the series but it has a major oddity that bugs me. Like Gaidenrider mentioned it's almost as if it forgot about the first two games in some ways. It made sense though given your character and the general state of humanity. Wasn't anyone around to inquire into such matters. The end is also very rushed but still a great game over all. It blended in a lot of what I loved about Half Life and Metro 2033.

Resistance 3 being the best in the series is a fact. It is almost a horror game as a matter of fact.

Uncharted 3 being the best in the series is also fact. And I like U2 more, but that doesn't mean I can't see that u3 is more advanced and thoughtful.

What I'm saying is people ALWAYS put down the latest in anything, and if you choose only to consider what those people say then thats too bad. And just watching Resistance 3 reviews shows it means more business than the other games.

But this Vita Resistance looks nothing short of meh so far, and Nihilistic has yet to prove themselves, but miracles happen like Arkham Asylum, so I'll be wacthing this one closely as a cautious Resistance fan.

I'm a fan of the series. If you're not into shooters, perhaps you won't find much here to appeal your tastes. That said, Resistance is a unique series with a great story and lore behind the games. The use of unusual weapons can also pick our interest as it picked mine.

Between the three, Resistance 3 is the better game but also the more disconected from the series story. The gameplay is more similar to Resistance 1 with better balancing and production values.
If you give it a chance, you might like it.

Resistance 2 is a special case. The single player is very different to other games, but the multiplayer is awesome. The co-op had a campaign in it's own, that opened files that explained interesting things about the series lore.

Point is, the best judgment you can achieve is when you play it. If you ever get a chance to play any of those games, give them a chance.

I was just wondering because I kinda liked the psp game because it played less like your "traditional shooter". I never played the ps3 ones. I actually did play a demo of the first game a long time ago but I felt like a spectator in that

Currently playing through and absolutely loving Resistance 3. I'm glad they brought back the co- operative campaign.

The adventures of Joe & John must continue!

R3 had the best single player, R2 had the best co-op, R1 had the wow factor as it was the game that made me buy a PS3. I still remember going from my PS2 to my PS3 and being like "holy shit" because of how much better it looked.

I love Resistance but I am not to sure about the handheld version, though I am still slightly interested. Just have to wait and see I guess.
