Housemarque’s throwback arcade shooter Resogun is so good that we’d quite like to have a playable version augmented into our eyelids, but seeing as that’s not physically possible, we’ll settle for a PlayStation Vita version instead. Fortunately, it sounds like the Finnish indie is working on just that, assuming that comments made by Sony XDev Europe producer James Hawkins are correct.
To be honest, seeing as this hasn’t been mentioned in the past, we suspect that the employee may have spoken out of turn when talking about the portable port on the PlayStation Blog. “Keep watching this space,” he told a fan hungry for a handheld release, “the Vita version is coming, and is looking, sounding, and, most importantly, playing great.”
While we’re absolutely over the moon at this news, it’s indicative of the Vita’s current standing that a high profile project like this should get announced in such a nonchalant way. Nevertheless, we absolutely can’t wait to save the last humans on the bog. Will you be joining us for one last score chasing session? Post a new personal best in the comments section below.

Awesome, I missed it when it was free on PS4 because I didn't have it at the time. Will be getting this for Vita because Vita is the Ultimate Indie Machine
Honestly i think this game would be perfect on the Vita.
Oooo mama! This is big!
Edit:Is this really indie? o.O I thought it was published by SCE?
@XFsWorld didnt knew the Vita was a PC using steam
@Faruko The more you know
I'm having to wonder how much the power will be a problem though. The insane amount of pixels is a big part of the game.
Splendid this game really fit for vita
Wasn't that game a gigantic PS4 graphics fest?
I'm more than happy with that!
I would assume that the voxels will be pared back for the environmental damage.
Well I might have to check this out if it happens seeing as I don't have (or want at this point) a PS4.
@Faruko Snap, Steam sales for lyfe.
Housemarque did an amazing job downscaling Star Dust for the Vita, so I've no concerns about this!
I honestly just didn't see the big deal about Resogun when I tried it on the PS4...the rabid love for it baffled me. However in aware I'm one in an immense ocean of universal adoration for the game so I'm sure I'm just missing something. I've not tried Resogun since the 1st few days of having my PS4 so I might give it another shot.
I use remote play when i put it on it does feel more like a handheld game than a console one
Now this possible announcement intrigues me big time. If they make this PSTV compatible, I am in.
That's awesome! I don't have a PS4 so I've only ever played it at those GameStop kiosks
I played through most of resogun using remote play and even through that it looked amazing. Controls were cramped but you can remap em. Btw, make sure u download the pumpkin head human today for halloween
@Krinkle_Kaptain And skeleton too
Btw IGN have been told by Housemarque that Climax studios is developing the Vita port. They did Dead Nation for PS4 & Vita, make that what you will.
I'll be thrilled if it comes with cross buy, because I thought it was a decent enough title on PS4. But I don't know if I love it enough to buy it twice...
