The ample power of Sony's new portable, Vita, means there's not a huge difference between development for it and its bigger PS3 sibling.

"We're a PlayStation 3 company. That's our engine, that's out technology. And really, [Sony] were looking for PS3 developers to milk the power out of the Vita, and I think that's definitely the right way to go because it's got a lot of power," said Huebner.
"It's got all the shaders, it's got a lot of CPU, so it's really not that big of a change for us to work on the Vita compared to the PS3," he added.
He would know - Heubner is part of the team developing Resistance: Burning Skies on Vita, the official title of which was revealed at Gamescom this week alongside screenshots and footage of the game looking pretty sweet on the small screen (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/315788/resistance-burning-skies-screenshots-gameplay-video/).
Huebner says the aim is to make a "no-compromises experience with all the elements you'd expect from a Resistance game." http://www.computerandvideogames.com/316177/moving-from-ps3-to-vita-is-not-that-big-a-change-dev/
