TQcast: Dead Nation PSN Review

TQcast writes: Another zombie shooter, great. It seems like video game developers have lost their originality when it comes to developing unique games for us to indulge in. Dead Nation is a top down shooter from the same team that brought us Super Stardust HD. After spending hours with Dead Nation I can tell you if this game breaks the mold when it comes to zombie games or if it’s just another zombie game clone.

So, it have Multiplayer online, but only works for PSN friends, not Matchmaking available.

Wonder why they didn't include matchmaking.

UNCyrus4920d ago

That's a terrible reason to knock off 1.5 points. The game is incredible

"I was really looking forward to playing this online with someone only to find out that I could only invite my friends to play, all of whom don’t have this game."

i dont understand. he wants to play the game online with someone who doesnt have the game? that doesnt make any sense.

edit:

ok i get it now. but, you dont review a game that isnt released to complain that you cant play it with your friends because its not... released.

cant wait to try co-op with my friends.

ddurand14919d ago

meaning you cant match up with a random person to go co-op. i dont understand what was so tricky about that sentence.

Neckbear4919d ago

He meant that he wanted to play the game online with some random guy, only to find out that he could only play with his friends, all those who do NOT own the game.

Reading comprehension, bro. That line couldn't be clearer.

KiRBY30004919d ago

easy guys, english isnt my 1st language.

ThatIrishGamer4919d ago (Edited 4919d ago )

because it's not out yet?

Tardo.

I went online for a GT race. . . but couldn't find anyone online! 2/10! Nice one GT! :(

Kamikaze1354919d ago

Yeah, but what if none of your friends who own it are online or what if none of your friends buy it and you want to play online? Then you're screwed.

ThatIrishGamer4919d ago

You play the great single player, or get a friend over and split screen. The reviewer is a douche and is getting in a flap over nothing.

If a friend doesn't own it then account share him it. Didn't mr Sony say we could?

machete squad steve4919d ago

Prob to drum up sales, you know force your friends to buy it so you can play muti.

This is what you need to know:

"Final Thoughts: Dead Nation is an awesome game. It will give you many hours of gameplay considering it has 4 difficulty levels. Dead Nation is one of the best top down shooters that I have played in a long time, and I will definitely be putting in some more hours."

$15 Awesome game = day one purchase.

WildArmed4920d ago

Exactly what went through my mind when I read that.
I dont think his opinion is translated well into the score.

BYE4920d ago

Too bad, I had high hopes on this one.

KiRBY30004920d ago

1 review and you change your mind?

cwir4919d ago

read it first. the score doesn't reflect the review completely

wicko4920d ago

Really? Complaining about matchmaking? The game wasn't even going to have online coop for the longest time, but they were able to squeeze it in. I'm just thankful there is online coop.

-Alpha4920d ago (Edited 4920d ago )

I don't really care for a light zombie game, personally I was hoping for Super Stardust HD 2. Awesome game, still play it to this day, a sequel would be so nice to see.

I may get this regardless since it's from HM, but I am still rooting for a SSHD2

kanetheking4919d ago

come on ppl if you don't like something don't go on it.

ZombieAssassin4919d ago

Maybe because he likes the developer and other games they make, believe me it's better to have him here saying the things he did than some troll who doesn't care.

ONTOPIC: The game looks solid and will be buying it the day it comes out, kinda sucks about the online match making but good thing I know people who plan on picking it up...but who knows maybe they'll patch it.

kanetheking4919d ago

it be like me going private Ryan is the best movie ever and then bitching that i dislike E.T.

The VR version of Stardust is an incredible experience, even for those that get VR sickness, the game gives you the feeling of floating in the vastness of space, but the motion sickness is removed, its colorful, flashy, and amazing to play

IBD Podcast #13 - Housemarque and mastering the twin-stick shooter

Housemarque is famed for its downloadable console games including Super Stardust, Dead Nation, Alienation, PS4 launch title Resogun and now Nex Machina. The veteran Finnish developer has made a name for itself crafting, precise, polished, technically accomplished and visually striking titles in publishing partnership with Sony.

With its latest title, Nex Machina, launching for both PS4 and PC, Housemarque is taking its first step into self-publishing. Working in collaboration with pioneering developer Eugene Jarvis, who created arcade classics such as Defender, Robotron: 2084 and Smash TV, Nex Machina represents both a refinement and evolution of Housemarque's design principles, as well as an opportunity for the developer to directly benefit from establishing and retaining its own IP.

Here, Housemarque CEO Ilari Kuittinen and head of publishing Mikael Haveri discuss how the decision to self-publish has led to greater autonomy, a collaboration with Eugene Jarvis and how a game titled "Death Machine" could mean a new lease of life for the company.
