PSV Burning Skies: Resistance, Cleared
How do I put this. Overall the game is pretty by-the-numbers. Playing an FPS on the PSV really is a massive step up from the PSP (don’t even bring up PSP FPS games).
Visual detail is lacking—put simply, it looks impressive if you don’t look too closely. And there are texture errors in some spots, which is honestly unforgivable on a console platform (on PC you could at least blame drivers). The difficulty itself is okay, but the weapon distribution is bad. Once you get that three-round-burst rifle later on, you basically don’t want to use anything else… the damage isn’t even in the same league. Even the sniper rifle loses to it.
Aside from touchscreen grenade throws and special weapons, the game doesn’t use the PSV’s rear touchpad at all… disappointing… or you could call it laziness. Also, when the game is yapping away, it doesn’t suddenly make you swipe fruit on the screen—that’s great! Great! Great! Way better than fucking Uncharted! I reloaded like a dozen times in that thing because I didn’t react in time, no joke.
