Gamesradar's 16min video preview.
perhaps. But there are surely a limited number of passes we're providing Sony here.
- Uncharted -not native res but good looking, so holds out promise
- Everybody's golf. not native res and simple enough that they should have managed it. Oh well, the dev isn't known for pushing the envelope
- Resistance - not a major first party team, handed off to someone else.
Perhaps Sony should have given their major IPs to teams that can push the machine. They need something to showcase what it can do - not another game that gives third parties more excuses to release sub-native games.

Yeah, I hope we see more native games in the future...Golden Abyss has atrocious AA or lack of...the game is pretty inconsistant...some stuff looks as good as the first uncharted, other stuff not so much...I am sure the inevitable sequel should be a marked improvement
Still, I personally think Soul Sacrifice, the new sly game, and Gravity Rush look better than anything thus far released.

I guess it's supposed to look like an American flag or something. There's definitely something very odd about it.

I'm buying this game 1/2 on the fact I liked R1 and R3 and 1/2 on the fact there is NOTHING else to play on the Vita and it's been collecting dust for me for months

got Wipeout and Uncharted at launch, nothing else interests me, Lumines is still fucking $40 and I already own Rayman Origins on PS3

Licorice-flavoured booze?
Motorstorm RC, Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack, Super Stardust Delta, all very good cheap games.
Also Hot Shots Golf, that game is like crack, you don't have to be into golf to enjoy the game, very rewarding and easy to get into.
I'll take a look, I was worried about length.

it's 2012 and many 360/ps3 don't even run a native 720p

Oh yeah, and that's definitely stupid too, I just wondered if there was any reason we were seeing it so regularly on Vita.
So far, all the games that are supposed to be real graphical showcases for the system have run at sub-native res. Even Wipeout only runs at 960 x 544 some of the time, and drops down when it has to.
It's just really disappointing, since when you do play something that runs at native res, it looks so, so beautiful =(

curious that the Japanese Resistance cover doesn't have the stupid "only on playstation" logo
I remember when Sony said they don't like putting that on covers (during the ps2 era) because that would mean almost all their games would have it, my have times changed

Most graphical showcases on the 360 and PS3 also don't run at 1080p.

But this is a handheld, where the screen and it's resolution are fixed parts of the hardware. Surely a better comparison would be to say that no graphical showcase on the GB/GBC/GBA/DS/3DS/PSP have ever ran below their system's native resolution.

I think there were actually a few 3D games for GBA that were rendered below native resolution. Yes, really.
I was going to get this game, just to have a FPS on Vita, but I don't know. It just seems like it will be really bad. Sub-native res, uninspired art design, short campaign, barebones multiplayer, and doesn't seem to be a steady 30fps. It's really disappointing, because this should have been a AAA game like Resistance 3. Oh well. I'll play this demo and watch out for reviews.

where is all.the love here? resistance is a pretty damn good series and to have duel analogs for a handheld fps is pretty exciting on its own
I'll be there day 1. This along with Gravity Rush and Mario Tennis should get me through the summer as far as portable gaming goes. Quite excited for this, even started replaying R3 for it. If anyone else is going to get this, add me on PSN: Trevelyan. Also have Unit 13, Wipeout.. pretty much any sony first party game on the Vita.
I love Resistance, but Sony put it in the hands of a developer with a pretty terrible track record, and they made it barebones and devoid of any exciting or interesting art direction (from what we've seen). That's probably why people aren't too excited.
I mean, I'm glad we're getting an FPS on the Vita, but I sure wish Sony would have put it in the hands of a more capable developer who gave it more care and content. Resistance: Retribution on PSP had more content (single player and multiplayer) than this game. That doesn't bode well.
As much as I want a new game to play on my Vita, I don't think this is going to be it. I haven't seen anything remarkable about this at all and I'm not a big fan of any of the Resistance games to begin with. I think I'm better off waiting till June for Vita month with Metal Gear, Gravity Rush and Strangers Wrath.
Mother of god, please tell me you're not just assuming things
It looks this awful and it's not even a consistent 30fps? Why is Sony releasing this kind of shit?
That's what they've said they're aiming for various interviews. (June)

Strangers Wrath is coming. The dev has even posted photos of it running on the Vita....Will be the first I will be playing so looking forward to it.
Edit: Maybe you meant that it is coming in June, in which case they did say they are close to finish.
Yeah nothing set in stone yet, but they have been saying they want it out in June.

To those wondering about the Japanese box, the subtitle of the game in Japan is "America's final resistance" so yeah, it is made to look like an American flag.

Why is it that Japanese box art almost always looks way cooler?! Look at that.

Small number of levels and the game length are enough to put me off this. Makes me wonder what the fuck Nihilisitc were doing all this time. They had an incredibly strong base to build on.

Eurogamer has 9 new screenshots. They spoil one of the bigger bosses so don't clink if you don't want to see.

The annoying thing is that this doesn't sound like it has much in common with Resistance MP anyway. The first game supported 40 players and had some really cool objective modes. The 2nd game supported 60 players and had rotating objectives, plus the MMO-inspired coop mode. I only played the R3 beta so I don't know the details.
This is only 8 players, with very barebones modes. Maybe it'll do as Vita's first online fps, but it's disappointing.

Maybe Nihilistic felt death match modes fit more in line with gaming on the go. But I have a feeling it has more to do with offering paid dlc a month from now.
Every Resistance game is pretty much its own standalone title it terms of story, gameplay, and atmosphere. I'd personally just start with the first but if your starved to play a new vita title. Check Burning Skies out.
