Resogun asks you to keep track of many, many things at once. You need to make sure you’re dodging enemy fire and the enemy ships themselves while also returning fire.
Here's how to find the Returnal Resogun Easter egg location. Developer Housmarque pays homage to its PS4 launch title in the latest PS5 exclusive.
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.
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.
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.
Too bad not enough people are buying those types of games to make it profitable for them.
"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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Then it's most likely not hte best of ideas to go for a battle royal game, since the genre is already swamped atm...
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

...are among the toughest and 5 plats i am most proud of
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.
i am not a plat hunter but i will try to get them.....if they do not require a ton of work to do.
Out of the 90 i have gt5 and sport are probobly high on the list that and sports champions
MGS 5 is not a hard platinum, it's just time consuming.
How is Killzone 2 not on this list?
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...
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.
Warhawk is no joke. I have a championship blade. But flying all that time in the air. I just couldn't do it
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.
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.
My most enjoyable platinum was 2016 R&C. Most plats get tedious towards the end but R&C was fun the entire time.
i also got it as a plat...trophies were mostly easy...thanks to a bug i was able to get the final racing trophy
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
Oh yeah that def was the hardest trophy prob out of all the games released on the Vita,Ps3 and Ps4
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.
i beat MGS4 but that was before it got trophy support. If it had when i played it, i may have it now
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.
Should have given away knack rather than Resogun. I won't pretend to understand the finer points of Sony's finances, but it seems like giving away well-received games, and making people pay for mediocre games is a poorly thought-out strategy.
Though, maybe Knack will sell purely based on it's target market.... I dono.
Call me old school but i really want to see a resurgence in the shmup genre this gen.
Rtype, gradius, thunderforce....some wild bullett hell 'cave' shooter....this genre needs more love.
Square, how about a new einhander game?????
Difficult?
5/10 then!
Preorder canceled!/s
Am I the only one that doesn't see the appeal of a modernday version of 1980s defender. You literally go in circles in this game. I do like som shmups like sinemora though.
The best things on ps4 are free.
