'Resogun' (PS4) Coming To PS3 & Vita, Defenders DLC Coming To PS4 - Trailer

by Rainier on Dec. 5, 2014 @ 2:23 p.m. PST

Resogun is a shoot'em up where you unleash a devastating array of weaponry to rescue the last survivors from distant galactic colonies that are under ruthless attack from an evil alien invasion force.

Epic explosions; voxels crumbling in raging torrents; impossible maneuvers to dodge dozens of enemies.

The development team at Climax has done everything possible to make the PS3 and PS Vita versions of the game the very best they can be for each device. Picking a game that was created specifically for PS4 and bringing it to PS Vita and PS3 is very difficult, and the hardest compromise to accept during development, especially in regard to performance and graphics, is that these platforms don’t have the capability and power of PS4.

Duly, the biggest technical difference is that the PS Vita and PS3 games run at 30 instead of 60 frames per second. This was a very difficult decision to consider, but a very necessary one to allow the team to focus on what was possible and to make the best game possible for both of these platforms. The framerate is locked, so you can expect solid performance even under a big storm of voxels.

It’s a great achievement that all of the features present in the original PS4 release are here in the PS Vita and PS3 versions and that the game is as addictive as ever, in great part due to having been tuned specifically for these versions. The PS Vita version also has ad-hoc co-op so that you can team up with a friend. It also makes use of the touch features so you can fully customize the controls, using either the face buttons or the touch controls for any action possible. You can even throw humans with a swipe of your fingers on the rear touch pad!

The PS3 and PS Vita games ($14.99) have cross save functionality, so you can share your progress between both platforms, and are cross buy, so if you own Resogun on your PS4, you will be able to download these for free!

PS4 owners are getting a new expansion in early 2015. Part of the Season Pass, Resogun: Defenders ($4.99) will feature 2 all-new game modes — Protector and Commando — new ships, and all new planets featuring some of our most detailed artwork to date.

"We’ll also be releasing a major content patch for all players alongside the expansion pack. This patch, code named “Challengers” will update the game with new challenges and feats stretching across all existing game modes and will let you earn challenge points to increase your rank as a Resogun pilot. The patch is a free update for all Resogun PS4 owners."

Key Features:

  • Unleash a diverse array of devastating weapons including lasers, missiles, overdrive and nova-bombs, to blast hordes of enemies and rescue the last survivors from distant galactic colonies that are under ruthless attack from an evil alien invasion force.
  • Experience the most intense destruction ever, as the power of PlayStation®4 renders the entire world and every enemy, using millions of individual building blocks (voxels) that break up in real time as you battle to survive and the world is destroyed around you.
  • Push yourself to the limits in Arcade and Endless play modes and prove your skills in global leaderboards for each game mode and difficulty setting.
  • Join forces with your friends online and show off your skills in action packed co-op multiplayer.
