With Resogun on PS4, Housemarque wants to continue their legacy that was left behind by Stardust series of Playstation 3 and PS VITA. So far Resogun has received positive response from both critics and fans across the globe.
We all are excited about Resogun and PS4 (the game runs at 60 FPS, 1080p resolution), and so with an aim to get some more details about the game and how PS4 hardware helped development team craft out this beautiful looking game, we recently got in touch Tommaso De Benetti (Community Manager, Housemarque) for some official words.
Ilari Kuittinen and Gregory Louden of Returnal developer Housemarque have revealed during an interview with Eurogamer at the studio’s 30th anniversary event last week that it has no plans to develop live-service or free-to-play games, “as long as people are buying premium games.”
Didn't stop Sony after acquiring Bluepoint, taking them from renowned remaster and remake quality and sticking them on a GoW live service title that never even went anywhere.
I can't speak to what gives Housemarque the ability to be different, but let's be thankful that they are able to do so in wake of current Sony.
That GoW live service game was the dumbest idea ever. I thought they were remaking Bloodbourne or a Demons souls expansion (covering that broken arch stone). Sony was really panicked after that abk/Microsoft news hit. I hope it was a side project for Bluepoint and that there's another one in the pipeline. That GoW game apparently never got off the ground.
Blaming Sony for pursuing Live Service when the top 5 games every month by spend and engagement are live service games is illogical. Gamers are telling Sony where to invest so there is a real disconnect between what is said online and what people actually play. Who should Sony listen to? Clearly the logical decision is to listen to people actually playing games and whether we like it or not Sony would be in vioulation of it duty to its investors if it didn't try to pursue LS. People taking out their fustrations on Live Service games by attacking Sony and using it as the industry whipping boy does not fix the industry. You are just telling the rest of the industry that they can keep doing what they are doing because they aren't called Sony. All I hear people say is that they hate live service but every single month the top games are live service. You are all either lying or you don't know what you are talking about. Sony should pursue both SP and live service games.
Housemarque CEO Ilari Kuittinen claims that the studio couldn't have made investments on big budget games without the backing of PlayStation.
@raven: “ Wonder who the rival buyer was 🤔 “
.
One guess start with a micro and end in a box 🤣
all so caught up in your little war that you forget Tencent would even be a possibility, how cute
what of my answer implies that? there is a reason i used the word possibility and didn't say: "it was tencent"
but i guess nuance is not a console war veteran's strong point.
@michael: “ all so caught up in your little war that you forget Tencent would even be a possibility, how cute”
Psychologically speaking the key word is RIVAL think about it and take out your I’m better than you glasses he is speaking as a Sony employee and we all know there’s little to no rivalry between Sony and and any other company besides Microsoft Xbox and at the time the latter was on a acquisition binge rage.
Kid the only war I got going on is against ignorance, next time think before you write otherwise you’ll end up an obscured character without any trust on your words.
Do not expect any response after this.
nah if it was a rival there would be mutual respect.
This is shameless slandering, double standard and no integrity all over an imaginary war for a company who doesn't know you or care about you so ofc im gonna call that bs out.
Talking like a sony employee is exactly what is so disturbing, you should only do that if you get actually paid for it, like an actual employee.
and don't call me kid when you can't even spell microsoft and instead turn it into microbox, psychologically speaking ofc
It was probably more than likely Tencent or Embracer. They're the ones gobbling up smaller studios during that time.
This is the way you buy studios.
You work with them for years. New collaborate and have a mutually beneficial arrangement. And then you buy them. You don't simply gobble them up like.locusts just because your dad gave you $100b.
It's gow Sony got blue point. It's how Sony got insomniac.. I can see Arrowhead being the next acquisition if this trend continuous.
this is the difference between sony and ms
sony has long standing relationships with these companies before they talk purchasing
ms just waves the dollar signs and lets them die.
yeah lets just forget the bungie purchase and how quickly they bought and closed the concord studio
bungie has been in close relationship with sony for a long time and they remained independent, so u are proving my point.
and yeh, firewalk studios was closed due to concord. but i never said that ms does that. i said they leave them to die after purchasing.
reading is a learnable skill
sure they had a super tight knit relationship with sony, gimme a break. Then ms must have been basically bff's with bethesda and activision. Bungie remained independent? they've been hopping to get bought by or financially supported by companies like a cheap hooker and they keep messing up. They've barely been independent in their lifespan.
You say the difference is they build up relationships, i gave you 2 examples that they didn't but then the excuse train comes out, prime example of gross fanboyism. Condone one for what you condemn the other for.
Richard Bailey Jr. of The Koalition writes: 2024 was a special year for new game announcements and reveals across various broadcast industry events. From the official return of the Virtua Fighter series to the revival of several Capcom franchises like Onimusha, there is no doubt that the future looks bright. With this in mind, I wanted to put together a quick list of a few game reveals I fully expect to be announced within the next 12 months of this calendar year.
I would love it if Capcom would throw a curve ball shock everybody with a Dino Crisis remake. I would day one the game if it came true.
5. Resident Evil 9
4. The Next Final Fight (Street Fighter)
3. Housemarque’s Next Game (They made Returnal)
2. Horizon Forbidden West Sequel
1. Half-Life 3
Power of da cloud and raw don't go together that's why ps4 is being hyped up as the more with power.
Be interesting to see what that bad boy of a PS4 can do in say 5 years.. Makes me dribble just thinking about it.
4>1. Resogun, yet another title that is free to play on my PS4. Sony wins.
PS4 is owning the media & charts.. Great news every day with PS4
Are these guys owned by Sony? If not, Sony should seriously consider inviting them to be a first-party studio. Along with Atlus..
