I'll be downloadling Resogun at the day PS4 launch.

Holeran4288d ago

Looks fantastic when you see it running on video that has not gone through youtube or the likes. Day 1 confirmed.

strickers4288d ago

And me. Co op always pleases me. Online or local.

Sevir4288d ago

Resogun, Driveclub pay for PS+ already. :-) can't freaking wait

Cryptcuzz4287d ago

I am super excited for this game since it is from the makers of Super Stardust HD, which I had a lot of fun with.

This game looks awesome, from game play to the graphics.

"We will be using the touchpad, and not only to scroll menus. We can’t go into details now but we believe people are not expecting what’s coming"

I wonder how it would be used in a way where people would not be expecting it? This right there got me anxious to finding out!

Haha took a screenshot as soon as I saw it.

Eonjay1507d ago

Same. Just started and saw this. Her ship reminds me of the ships in Resogun. I wondered if both games take place in the same universe.

LucasRuinedChildhood1507d ago (Edited 1507d ago )

It's kind of crazy that they've gone from Resogun to Returnal in just one generation. I would've never thought that they'd end up making a big budget third person shooter published by Sony.

Even crazier is that they temporarily gave up on arcade games altogether due to poor sales https://www.polygon.com/201... and then focused on a battle royale game instead for a while (Stormdivers).

Returnal is a nice way for them to retain their arcade DNA - they got to both course correct back to their old style to some extent and adapt to the market at the same time.

yeahokwhatever1507d ago

I liked resogun infinitely more than returnal. I hope they return to a more classic approach to games. The whole bullet hell shooter but in third person thing kind of didnt work for me with returnal. to each their own, clearly. but meh. i like their earlier work a lot more.

generic-user-name1507d ago

Too bad not enough people are buying those types of games to make it profitable for them.

fei-hung1507d ago

I want a new Deadnation.

Housemarque is becoming yet another face in the crowd - A “Stormdivers” and Housemarque rant

"Just recently Housemarque launched a Gamescom 2018 trailer for their new battle royal game "Stormdivers". Well, I think that Housemarque is becoming yet another face in the crowd, and this is the reason why" - Sharn Daniels, TGG.

Kribwalker2488d ago

The problem is Housemarquee had to adapt in order to survive. There old style of games weren’t selling well, as evidenced by their blog post saying exactly that. They weren’t getting the support they should have been getting so now they have to change things up or face closing down.
I would make the change to survive too

gangsta_red2488d ago

It's a shame but it's a fact for a lot of small, independent developers. The bar is constantly being raised with each gen and smaller devs are being priced out if they don't have a hit or a huge publisher backing them up and even then there's no guarantee they'll survive.

firelogic2488d ago

Adapting to survive makes sense in theory but honestly speaking, if they weren't making money off of awesome twin stick shooters, they certainly aren't going to hit the jackpot with a low-budget battle royale game. They're one of my favourite devs and I'd love it if they were acquired by Sony. They're basically already Sony exclusive devs anyway (I know they have games on other platforms but the majority has been Sony exclusive).

Sony should buy them and up their budget and see what kind of awesome ideas they come up with.

TGG_overlord2488d ago

That would be my point exactly, and that sounds like a much better plan imo.

KickSpinFilter2488d ago

But to a me too game...I don't know.

I_am_Batman2488d ago

Before they stood out, Now they don't. I can't see how this is going to help them be more successful. Targetting a passionate niche audience is still better than offering generic mainstream games in my book. I understand that they weren't very profitable so things had to change but why go from oustanding niche games to the biggest mainstream trend? Surely there must be a compromise between the two. I wouldn't be surprised if their new game bombs to be honest. It's really a shame. I hoper it turns out good but I'm very sceptical.

TGG_overlord2488d ago

You are right, and this is a very risky gamble imo...

TGG_overlord2488d ago

Then it's most likely not hte best of ideas to go for a battle royal game, since the genre is already swamped atm...

gangsta_red2488d ago

The genre is swamped? I think that's a bit of an exaggeration.

porkChop2488d ago

Yeah they didn't have much choice. They couldn't stay the course.

PoopsMcGee2488d ago (Edited 2488d ago )

A sad, sad truth. I hope they go back to the genre that they are immaculate at and is sadly under-represented. Diversity is needed in this industry...

gangsta_red2488d ago

Diversity is needed, unfortunately so are sales and Housemarque already stated that their past games underperformed.

So to stay afloat, they had to get with the trends. Hopefully they can bring something to this style of gameplay and hopefully they'll get the support needed so they can possibly go back to what people loved about them.

TGG_overlord2488d ago

So it's been said, but I hardly doubt that yet another battle royal game is going to solve their problems...Imo, they need to bring in someone that could help them cut their costs, improve sales and so on.

TGG_overlord2488d ago

I don't get why their games didn't sell even though they kick-ass, but this is not good for anyone. I mean, just like you said, diversity is very much needed, or else everything will look and feel the same.

AK912488d ago

I honestly can't blame them for this decision they're previous games whilst awesome didn't sell well they are simply doing what they have to in order to stay afloat.

Evolve2488d ago

Is it too difficult to develop Dead Nation 2 instead of ..... this?

King_Noctis2487d ago

To be honest they are setting themselves up for failure. They should have known that there is no way to penetrate the battle royale’s market right now unless you bring something very unique to the table, and even then there is still no guarantee of success.

IamTylerDurden12635d ago (Edited 2635d ago )

Some of the hardest platinums imo.

Orcs Must Die Uchained

Enter The Gungeon

Max Payne 3

Nuclear Throne

Super Meat Boy

bouzebbal2635d ago (Edited 2635d ago )

Velocity 2X
DJ Hero
SF4
KZ2
WipEout HD
...are among the toughest and 5 plats i am most proud of

jerethdagryphon2635d ago

Kz 2 the online was a stupid requirement

Knushwood Butt2635d ago

Congrats on Velocity 2X

I got the silver for 25 perfects...

joab7772635d ago

For me, in my run, it’s Lost Planet 2 and Killzone 2 before it’s patch. But about 3 yrs ago, I stopped chasing pointless trophies that are just wasted hours.

jazzking20012635d ago

i am not a plat hunter but i will try to get them.....if they do not require a ton of work to do.

jerethdagryphon2635d ago

Out of the 90 i have gt5 and sport are probobly high on the list that and sports champions

2pacalypsenow2635d ago

MGS 5 is not a hard platinum, it's just time consuming.

How is Killzone 2 not on this list?

jazzking20012635d ago

I have never played K2, thus not on the list.

kuraki_dan2635d ago

This list is trash.... infamous took me less than 24 hours to plat and resogun only a few days.... so many much harder/actually time consuming games. Warhawk for example...

Sniperwithacause2635d ago

OMG dude! You beat me to it. As soon as I started scrolling thru comments, and didnt see Warhawk yet I was going to post it.

the worst2635d ago

Warhawk is no joke. I have a championship blade. But flying all that time in the air. I just couldn't do it

franwex2635d ago

Still working on the mgs v one. So far I’m about 130 hours in. All I need to do is collect all the damn animals, beat the target tests on mother base, do the secondary objectives on the campaign. Phew.

Gameseeker_Frampt2635d ago

Killzone 2 is super hard now that the servers shut down yesterday.

joab7772635d ago (Edited 2635d ago )

That’s is my hardest before Radec was patched. I spent 9 straight hrs fighting him on Elite. And finally got him! Lost Planet 2 is also absurd!

And Dead Space 2 was tough, going through with like 3 saves for the whole game.

And is MGS 4 harder? I haven’t played 5, but going through 4 without alerting or dying is tough.

Knushwood Butt2635d ago

Radec was patched?

I admit I gave up.

IamTylerDurden12635d ago

My most enjoyable platinum was 2016 R&C. Most plats get tedious towards the end but R&C was fun the entire time.

dariux322635d ago

I am working on it right now. And game is stil fun to play in challenge mode.

jazzking20012635d ago

i also got it as a plat...trophies were mostly easy...thanks to a bug i was able to get the final racing trophy

jerethdagryphon2635d ago

You dont need a bug just need to practice a bit

SonyWarrior2635d ago

Socom confrontation is the true hardest plat they made that dumb hard to ever get the plat i doubt any one in the world besides the devs got the plat

2pacalypsenow2635d ago

Oh yeah that def was the hardest trophy prob out of all the games released on the Vita,Ps3 and Ps4

DaBudSmoka2635d ago

I got the socom platinum...so yea

AKS2635d ago (Edited 2635d ago )

That's the one that people seem to notice most. Several people have commented about that when they've checked out my trophies. I was more proud of getting the Big Boss Emblem in MGS4 in terms of gaming accomplishments, but alas there were no trophies when I got it.

jazzking20012635d ago

i beat MGS4 but that was before it got trophy support. If it had when i played it, i may have it now

AKS2635d ago (Edited 2635d ago )

The Big Boss Emblem was from a "perfect" run with no kills, health items, or alerts in under 4 hours on the most difficult setting. I feel like I should have a trophy for that.

jerethdagryphon2635d ago

Demons souls was pretty easy only pure bladestone was hard
