Resistance: Burning Skies demo assures us the greatest things about the Vita are the dual-analog sticks, dual-analog sticks


[Insomniac Games apparently couldn't "say it enough" on stage at their Gamescom presentation earlier, so we decided to help them out.]

Resistance's first venture on Sony's new handheld comes in the form of Resistance: Burning Skies, a game that serves as a prequel to the events in Resistance 2 and has been penned by known game novelist, William C. Dietz. Taking place in New York City, players control FDNY member Tom Riley as he rises from "humble hero to folk hero of the entire resistance." Do you think you have what it takes to accomplish that task?

The live-demo showed off Burning Skies' arsenal, "cover system," and the obligatory touch-screen controls which, to me, seem rather forced. But, you can see for yourself after the break.
