RunDLC: Super Stardust HD 3-D Impressions

RunDLC writes: "When we first heard that Sony was showing off the tip of the iceberg for 3-D gaming at CES, we were completely jealous of the attendees. However, our jealousy faded when we got a chance to play it Super Stardust HD in 3-D at GDC, as part of Sony's line-up on its show floor. And, yes, it rocks.

The gameplay is exactly the same as the original, so you don't have to worry about any kind of 3-D gimmicks, such as flying into the screen or anything like that. This is merely a cosmetic upgrade to the original PlayStation Network release -- but what an upgrade it is."

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

FTLmaster1119d 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 Butt1119d ago

Thanks. Downloaded it and will be playing it shortly.

Pre-ordered Returnal too.

P_Bomb1120d ago

Loved Alienation. Good co-op!

Knushwood Butt1119d ago (Edited 1119d ago )

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

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

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

arkard2346d ago

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

TGG_overlord2346d ago

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

BrianOBlivion2346d 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...

Einhander19712346d ago (Edited 2346d ago )

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

Atticus_finch2346d ago

IDK what to expect. Me and my GF love HM hopefully they keep making couch coop games.
