Damn it sucks they won't be doing any SP games anymore.

arkard2335d ago

Agreed, I found d their games to be fun and enjoyable... To bad I seem to be the minority.

TGG_overlord2335d ago

Well, I haven't played all of their games, but "Nex Machina" is pretty darn cool imo.

BrianOBlivion2335d ago

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...

Um don't expect anything good from these guys anymore.

I plan to snag Stardust VR soon. It is on PSN sale for cheap.

FTLmaster1108d ago

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.

Knushwood Butt1107d ago

Thanks. Downloaded it and will be playing it shortly.

Pre-ordered Returnal too.

P_Bomb1108d ago

Loved Alienation. Good co-op!

Knushwood Butt1107d ago (Edited 1107d ago )

Yep, had a lot of fun playing it with my kids. Although they always fight over the drops.

ArchangelMike1105d ago

Dead Nation is a classic, Definately one of their best games.
