Spoiled for choice with two Housemarque shooters, which one is worth your money?
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.
Rise along with Housemarque's Mikael Haveri and Nex Machina's game director Harry Krueger as they give their thoughts on AShinyBlackPhoenix's incredible speedrun through their game.
Housemarque director Harry Krueger talks Nex Machina, what we can expect from the studio's AAA title, whether Arcade truly is dead, and more.
If I were a betting man, and I am, I would say that Stormdivers won't be successful. There's too much competition, from the mammoths like Fortnite, Apex and PUBG, to further competition from AAA games with a battle royale mode like CoD.
There's too much competition and unless Stormdivers brings something unique to the mode, it just isn't going to work. "Simple yet deep" already exists.
Finally a beautiful article/interview. This was a really great read since I miss the Housemarque arcade games but this interview made me respect their decision a little more. Either way I will continue to support this dev team through thick and thin.
I still want a 3D version of Dead Nation. Love the game and the overhead gameplay but wish there was a camera option to make it more straight ahead or closer. The initial videos made the game look closer than it actually was.
We need more Dead Nation.
I'd go for Nex Machina.
I'll say this....
WHY NOT BOTH?
Not that they are full priced games and I am PRETTY sure they'll provide a FAR FAR FAR better experience than Star Wars: Battlefront II and COD WWII combined for less than 1/4th the price.
Nex Machina, definitely... I didn't hate Matterfall but it's not as good.
I have both including all Housemarque games on my PS3 & the Pro.
I've got Nex, its awesome. Will probably pick Matterfall up but its supposedly not as good as Nex.
