Forums - Gaming - New Resistance trailer picks on the Nintendo 3DS

 Sony sure is proud of their Vita's second analog stick, as evidenced by the latest trailer for Resistance: Burning Skies, where they seem to be poking fun at Nintendo's own portable console, the Nintendo 3DS. After all, the ad seems to be declaring the lack of a second thumbstick as only "half the (console FPS) experience," what other console is currently known for only offering a single analog stick? This ad comes right after the announcement that Nintendo's handheld is already slated to recieve a hardware redesign, which despite the extra hardware space, will still lack that second stick. C'mon Nintendo, don't let Sony razz you like that!

Of course, Sony could've picked a better game than the critically-panned Resistance: Burning Skies to make their point. Argument falls flat when the "console FPS experience" got a 6/10 on most sites...

Bad Enough the Game Sucked lol this isnt helping

Considering the fact that the vita is not their first handheld and psp is still selling (they're still promoting it by releasing different colours), following that logic they're also picking on themselves.

But, no, let's just blame and accuse Sony of everything.

Maybe they're referencing the PSP and how it lacked a second analogue stick so you couldn't play FPS games properly, and is trying to say "Hey look, this new one DOES have a second analogue so FPS games work great now!"

... Didn't think of that, eh? ;)

Maybe they are... but I'm also 99% sure this is also supposed to target the 3DS. As, not necessarily the whole of the company, they've done it before.

I think they're "picking" on the original PSP. In other words: they show customers why the Vita is a step up from the PSP for shooting games.

I don't see any reference to 3DS to be honest, they're just promoting a new feature they didn't have before.
Of course in their Ad they'll probably prefer to show some "exclusive" feature.

This is aimed at the PSP, but even if it wasn't it doesn't matter, Resistance is still a bad game.
