Phil Gaskell previews Super Stardust HD:
"I'm Phil Gaskell, a producer working in External Development here at SCEE Liverpool which just shipped Super Stardust HD. We've been following all of the feedback and praise that you've given this game lately and we wanted to simply say THANK YOU!
SSHD was a fun product to work on and the overall reception has been amazing. I'm honestly quite astounded by the high-scores that some of you have already achieved on this game. Zafro is currently sittin' pretty with more than 640 million. Wow, the gaming community never ceases to amaze me….
For those of you who don't know, Super Stardust HD is a download game available now only via the PlayStation Store, and was developed by a small team in Finland called Housemarque. In the end, the team at Housemarque was able to get over 10,000 active objects with physics and collisions, and over 75,000 particles simulated and drawn at 1080p 60fps…It's truly a sight to see."
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.
Finland’s longest standing game development studio, Housemarque, today announced that it is licensing Unreal Engine 4 and moving away from its own in-house technology for future projects, including a soon-to-be-announced title.
Agreed, I found d their games to be fun and enjoyable... To bad I seem to be the minority.
Well, I haven't played all of their games, but "Nex Machina" is pretty darn cool imo.
I didn't read that. I've read that while they are planning to expand into multiplayer, the only thing they've decided to give up on is the top-down arcade shooter style of games because the last couple have sold in decreasing amounts.
Too bad for me as I've enjoyed most of their games. Now I feel bad that I didn't buy Matterfall but I just didn't like the addition of platforming into the mix.
I haven't read anywhere that those MP games wouldn't include SP.

- Ah, now I got what @TheOttomatic91 meant with "Damn it sucks they won't be doing any SP games anymore.". Well, to be fair, "Matterfall" isn't exactly one of their better titles...
IDK what to expect. Me and my GF love HM hopefully they keep making couch coop games.
You can now enjoy one additional free PS Plus game for PS3 in March 2016, if you managed to get it earlier.
i love this game. Best download game on PSN. I'm still playing it and shall be playing until the best games for PS3 will come out in a few weeks.
i just git 26 mill yesterday, it's so addicting.
i think that they should make more planets and add more weapons over downloadable instalments. because 5 planets even though they have five phases is way too little, i'd say 2 more planets and 2 new weapons and a new shield would increase it's already awesome replayablity. oh and some new rock or substance to use the weapons effectively against. any who back to playing this game
There is a premium download patch for it coming out soon.
Yeah it's an awesome game, if you liked this look out for Nucleus
I wonder what the patch does.
for downloadable games!!!
I probably will still get it but in the future give me a demo Sony.
