Push Square: "It's hard to describe Super Stardust Ultra as a disappointment, because the core gameplay loop – almost eight years after its original introduction – is still as enjoyable as ever. That said, this doesn't feel like the next frontier for Housemarque's revered shooter series – more like a stopgap along the way. Veterans should know that, outside of some visual enhancements and extra modes, this is pretty much Super Stardust HD. That's not necessarily a bad thing, of course; newcomers are encouraged to take aim at this right away."
If you've been hankering for an intro to Housemarque's brand of adrenaline-filled action, then here are 3 awesome titles you should try.
Do it! It’s a seriously addictive experience. Housemarque is the master of modern arcade classic gameplay. Curious to see how Returnal turns out tbh.
Thanks. Downloaded it and will be playing it shortly.
Pre-ordered Returnal too.
Yep, had a lot of fun playing it with my kids. Although they always fight over the drops.
Skyler from Informed Pixel says: "Today is a historical day in Canada. Cannabis, Weed, Pot, Ganga, Mary Jane, or other descriptive names for Marijuana is now legal in Canada, ending eight decades of criminalization of the recreational drug. While many have been smoking the green for years, for a lot of people, it may be an entirely new experience for them.
Gaming is something we don’t recommend for people who are new to the drug, but we picked out some games on the cheap, that may be the perfect companion for experienced smokers."
Quote: Many PlayStation owners received a system notification on Thursday that the frenetic arcade-style shooter Super Stardust Ultra is getting bumped up from an ESRB rating of E to E10+. A video game’s rating doesn’t usually change after it’s been released. In this case, strangely, the rating will change even though, for some people, the game will not.
Not surprising really, there will need to be a new rating system for VR games. There'll also need to be a new health warning system.
One of my favorite most played games on ps3, about the same game on Vita and ps4. If you haven't played it I recommend it, think of it like a better variation of geometry wars
I'd score it higher myself, though I also think it's not much different from it's PS3 counterpart. I haven't tried all the modes yet, but my one complaint so far is that the interactive streaming mode is far too easy unless people are constantly voting for Assault and Onslaught, and even those are easier than some parts of the regular Arcade mode. I started the streaming mode earlier today to kill time until the Planetside 2 servers came up, and ended up quitting the game because the people watching kept either not voting at all or voting for Helping Hand. By the time I quit I had a score over 111 million, 50 extra ships, and around 100 bombs. I said well you people refuse to make this challenging and I want to play Planetside 2, so I'm done. I guess I should have died over and over to save my score, but I didn't care enough.
