Resistance: Retribution is an impressive-looking PlayStation Portable game, to be sure. In these new videos just released by Sony, you can see that the developer, Sony Bend, has stuffed quite a bit of the Resistance universe into the little handheld. 

The series is going into third-person for the first time, and despite the lack of a second analog stick, aiming and movement work really well. Playing it at Tokyo Game Show ast year, I never felt that the "auto-lock-on" aiming feature was too intrusive, and it never felt like it was holding my hand. It just felt right. Of course, if you also have Resistance 2 and a PlayStation 3, you could always use the DualShock ...

I have to admit, the thing I play most on my PSP is Lumines, and that's only when I travel or am in the bathroom. Retribution looks like like it'll be a good reason to spend some quality time with the system ... and not just on the toilet.

One more video after the jump.

All I'm gonna say is.

WORST. BRITISH ACCENT. EVAR.

Well not ever, but it's pretty cringe worthy.

@fadecy:

Yeah, man, after I uplaoded the videos I watched again. That bit right in the beginning is pretty painful.
