Housemarque Working on Unannounced PC Game

Housemarque, a renowned indie development team with a staggering amount of great titles under their belt, are working on a Windows PC game.

moegooner883367d ago

In addition they have three games in development for PS4. How do they pull this off ? 4 titles seems like an overkill

GamingonPC3367d ago

I'm guessing it's one of those titles and not a completely new release.

lelo2play3367d ago

It's time for Housemarque to start making multiplatform games. They'll make more money that way.

GamingonPC3367d ago

They developed multiplatform titles in the past, I'm guessing that they stopped doing that because as a small team it's easier to focus on just one platform. Maybe now that current gen consoles are x86 it's not so hard to work on PS4+PC titles.

MoveTheGlow3367d ago

I bet they've invested in expanding their company quite a bit. If I had a guess, they're probably picking up some of the devs in Europe who had been laid off by other companies or closed out - for example, the Liverpool folks who used to do WipeOut, or the CryTek guys at the branches they closed. You'll probably see something like Platinum, where a boutique developer creates some more business-y divisions, so you get something nuts like Nier: Automata but also something silly like that Turtles release.

MrSec843367d ago

I think I read that they're big enough to house 4X Indie size teams, like 10-15 people per project.
Matterfall and Nex Machina may not be far off completion, Alienation is out, so besides DLC for that they may only have 3 games in development total.

Housemarque's games aren't huge resource hogs, even if they decided to make something like WiLD or No Man's Sky they probably have enough staff to make another game besides the 3 they've confirmed.

Matterfall could release this year for PS4.

MrSec843367d ago

I'm pretty sure Nex Machina is confirmed for this year, Matterfall could be too.

I'm interested to see what kind of game Matterfall is, some people think it's got a similar style to Resogun, just with a character and jump mechanics, I'd love to see them do a third person shooter, with platforming.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
