PSLS: Dead Nation Gets Upgraded

The next aerial combat shooter by the developers of Super Stardust HD, Housemarque, called Dead Nation, is still slated for release this year. While news about the upcoming downloadable title has been faint as of late, hope for the Dead Nation is still undead as a new trailer has been released for what looks to be the next PSN hit.

Dead what? Dead Nation you say -- Game doesn't exist. Honestly, game's been off my radar screen for a long time. Sony really killed their holiday season this year.

They had a weak offering and showing to be honest.

LBP2 pushed back
GT5 pushed back (prolly to 2011 too)
Dead nation pushed back

They just didn't have any good exclusives this year, not even with those, and they did it in hopes of pushing Move into focus and trying to not divert consumers away from it. The thing about move is they don't have any software for it, either. Everything they have out is really kinda average.

Sony's weakest showing ever. The sad thing is next year, at the start of the year, it's going to be so congested with stuff they'll have to push and delay some more. This hurts new IP's releases too. Sony feels if they push these known games back and back and back they can buy more time before they have to introduce new IP. It's sad, but that's how it goes.

Balt 5673d ago (Edited 5673d ago )

So you can give us all proof that they do have good exclusives this holiday season? Or are we hoping everyone still rushes out and buys

God of War 3
Uncharted 2
Killzone 2
Infamous
& a bevy of move controllers

Thought so. Hardcore "CORE" games have those games already. They want something new. Sony didn't offer that up for them this year. In stead they chose to push Move out with no software. No viable software anyways. Thanks for stopping in, though.

Edit for Alfaxd

So, you didn't want anything new this year from Sony? That's interesting. I wasn't aware Sony owners were so happy with the games that came out 2 years ago still.

How long you plan on playing Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 again? I mean, you all talk a good game. Really, you do. But where are the facts? You say I'm just a troll and I'm blathering about this and that, but you bring no facts with you. So, please, so we all can understand, tell me what Sony is bringing to the table this holiday season. I'd like to know.

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5673d ago (Edited 5673d ago )

Another multiple ignorant troll saying incoherent things.

Dragun6195673d ago (Edited 5673d ago )

Why don't you just enjoy other games like multiplatform games? Call of Duty: Black Ops? Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood? Sly Cooper Collection?

Seriously, Sony and their developers only want to make the best game possible, why don't you just give them the time and let them do that. It's not like were any short on games. And so what if this is their weakest showing of exclusives for the Holiday. Will it help knowing next year will have at least 20+ PS3 Exclusives?
Jeez, People these days, Some just forget that gaming is just a luxury.
Anyways, Dead Nation looks like a Good PSN title, Might pick it up later when it releases.

TekoIie5673d ago

Yeh dude why compete with the biggest games of the year for november. Black ops will have sky high sales and im sure GT5 will to even if it gets delayed to 2011. But obviously there are rumours of it coming 2010 so why are you talking complete bullshit and not waiting for its new release date to be announced...

DORMIN5673d ago

@sitlab: Obvious troll is obvious.
Glad you wasted all your bubbles so we don't have to hear your idiocy.

BACK ON TOPIC:
Day One
Dead Nation looks like a top notch downloadable.

ReservoirDog3165673d ago

Hmmm, you remind me of someone...

Can't quite put my finger on who...

Regardless, you should just try relaxing a bit.

360 has nothing left this year but Sony does and it has the whole year with M.A.G., GOW3, Heavy Rain, Modnation Racers, Joe Danger, Yakuza 3, WKC and the ones still to come like Sly collection, The Fight, Dead Nation will come this year, and of course GT5 will come this year as the king.
360 has had a sad year with only halo n fable... PS3 has a winning year again

Balt 5673d ago (Edited 5673d ago )

I never said Microsoft had a winning year, either. Nintendo had a weak year too, while I'm at it. But to say, "Sly Cooper Collection" is coming! With a proverbial smile on your face is irony at best. I won't buy it at retail. I'll wait to get it off the network, should Sony realize that's where they should be tossing such content at and too.

I'm singling out Sony here because it's the only system I own. I don't care what Microsoft or Nintendo bring. I personally don't have one or care to own one. I get enough of them when I'm around my friends or family who do. Sony's line up troubles me most because it is the only one relevant to me.

Hope you understand this. And, by my calculations, they have little to offer me. Even if GT5 came this year, which it won't, I won't buy it because I don't like racing games. I'm not a fan of LBP, either. I hate MAG and I loath Assassins Creed games because they suck. So don't even try to recommend me junk multi platformed inferior ports like it or COD games, which I also hate.

Not against Sony here, just speaking the truth as it pertains to me.

gaden_malak5673d ago

Sounds like you don't like games. Period.

VenomProject5673d ago

Why does the Sly Collection "belong" on the PS store?

I'm HAPPILY buying the retail version.

Hard copies > Downloaded copies

DasBunker5673d ago

you seem so sure GT5 wont come out this year...

yamauchi himself said the game already went gold, and the game case has been seen and reports state that some even have been shipped already.. the game will come out this year..

All_4_One5673d ago (Edited 5673d ago )

Why did you choose a Dead Nation article to rant? There is a good chance GT5 and Dead Nation will both be available this year, then there`s also the Sly Trilogy and the Mortal Kombat Kollection, all exclusive, don`t even get me started on next year. I don`t really see the problem to be honest.

Godmars2905673d ago (Edited 5673d ago )

You have to admit that the devs missed Halloween which was the perfect release date.

Nevermind that this is a D-1. Or that Sony's willing to take the hit rather than put it out buggy and try to fix it later.

Aquanauts Holiday at $500. Nice

jznrpg722d ago

I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.

Profchaos722d ago

I tend to agree for the most part rarity is linked to price
It's unusual that a rare game was popular with a few notable exceptions. Games released at the tail end of a consoles lifecycle which became popular years or decades later like little Samson on the NES or earthbound on SNES.
Or games that were banned after release in certain regions

Looking at this list there's nothing I'd be trying to collect either most of these games were fairly unpopular and bashed on their release leading to the scarcity seen now.
Especially NBA elite which I remember actually watching the news about how it got cancelled but had already shipped to retail it was so bad .

P_Bomb722d ago

I still have Afrika. Who knew it’d be worth something?

MrBaskerville721d ago

Was unaware that Verdict Day was rare, glad I still own my copy. Game is very good.

Chocoburger721d ago

She forgot to mention Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Wizard's Edition with Ninostarter bonuses. This is the second or third most expensive PS3 game, and I own a sealed copy.

yeah, shame about the clicks for each entry though

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.
