Resistance Vita Gets an Official Name

By Nick Santangelo

Resistance: Burning Skies will try to heat up the Vita.

Sony has given a proper name to their PlayStation Vita FPS. Resistance: Burning Skies will feature a new protagonist – fireman Tom Riley – and a story penned by William C. Dietz, author of Resistance: The Gathering Storm and Resistance: A Hole in the Sky. The game will utilize the Vita’s dual analogue sticks for, uh, dual analogue controls. In all seriousness, it should be pretty sweet to actually have a dual analogue shooter on the go.
