Resistance: Burning Skies

Resistance: Burning Skies is a game being created by Nihilistic Software for the Playstation Vita. It was announced on the same day as the Vita (initially referred to as the Next Generational Portable). The game is slated for release sometime between January and March of 2012. Although, if it is a launch title and the rumour of the Vita launch date is true then it could be released November 4th 2011. The official title was announced at Gamescom 2011 at the Sony Press Conference.

Story
The game takes place in 1951 as the Chimeran Fleet first invades the United States of America. Players assume the role of Tom Riley, a New York City firefighter forced to take up arms against the Chimera. The story is being written by William C. Dietz, author of the tie-in novels Resistance: The Gathering Storm and A Hole in the Sky.Throughout the game as an everyday local hero, Riley as his duty will no matter what the cost save civillians before demolishing and stopping the Chimeran fleet.

SRPA is present as the demo takes place in a SRPA research facility in New York and Black Ops are seen dead, so they might play a role.

Gameplay
Unlike Resistance: Retribution, which featured in third person, Burning Skies will be in first person. Players can pick up weapons that they are looking at on the screen by passing their hand underneath the camera on the outside of the Vita just as if they were picking up the weapon in real life. It will also feature a first person cover system, much like the Killzone games, as seen in brief clips during a recent Vita promotional trailer.

Much like Resistance 3, Burning Skies will feature a Melee weapon (Firemans Axe) and Upgradeable weapons but unlike Resistance 3 you'll have to collect Grey Tech that was shown in a Recent Japanese Demo of the Game. It seems that if you want to upgrade a certain weapon in particular, you have to be in posession of the weapon at the time of receiving the Chimeran Technology. The weapon wheel will also return.

It has multiplayer as well as seen 55 seconds into this video.
