Housemarque revealed today that the Finnish Stardust HD developer is making three new IPs for various systems.
"They're both in matters we haven't dealt with before," said CEO and co-founder Ilari Kuittinen. "One of the games is a PSN exclusive for Sony again, continuing our good relationship with them. And that's gonna be as far as we know, announced at Cologne."
"We are doing also currently our first multiplatform game, for a leading publisher," he continued. "Again, something different from the past. We haven't done this kind of a game genre before."
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.

- 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.
With the power of the 360 maybe they can make a game that can compete with Geometry Wars 2.
SSHD is one of my faverite games. I'd like to see some new planets for it though.
SSHD is a great game so looking forward to see what new games these guys come up with.
I'd have to say that Geometry Wars 2 takes the cake. I really hope he makes SSDHD 2.
