Up until this point, the PlayStation Network lacked original games. Sure, the Gran Turismo HD pack was pretty sweet (especially considering it was free) and David Jaffe's Calling All Cars wasn't that bad. However, it lacked a "killer app" to lean on, similar to Bizarre Creations' Geometry Wars for the Xbox 360. That changed with the release of Super Stardust HD...
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.
"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."
- 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.
What are you talking about?
Edit:
"Up until this point, the PlayStation Network lacked original games".
Not bad. At least they're not like Gamespot giving it just 7. This game is really beautiful and addictive.
gamespot needs a better team in my opinion
this game deffinately deservs higher score than retro evolved. this game has strategy involveed with the ability to switch weopons to blow certain stuff up. the simple fact that your movement isnt confined to a square makes this the best arcade shooter not even considering the realistic break up of the astroids and that the game is hi-def. this game really seperates itself from the rest of the arcade shooters. the emergeny bombs and boost are a nice touch as well.
