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.

Insomniac bailed on the series. I am not sure if this will turn out great
At least we know for sure the games didnt make much profit given the cost
Still, if you buy one of the franchise, just buy the 3rd. Everything else is shit. (In my opinion)
Ive just been thinking about how uncharted, the new mod nation havent been as good as people thought.
So I Wondered about this game
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.
can I ignore you?
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.
The adventures of Joe & John must continue!
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.
