So does size affect gameplay? Bigger ship I assume is easier to crash.

But can you literally play as one square? Or do you need a specific dimension?

I look forward to the first Mario head.

I'd like to know these as well.

Also, the first person who makes a perfect Serenity or TARDIS is the best GAFer.

EDIT: Or an awesome dragon!

Spoiler

Or Ridley.

hey guys, does this update adds new maps or is the paid one? also how much is it?

 

[TimeEffect]

Either my eyes or tv has improved but I'm sure the colour balance has been tweaked. Things in the game just seem easier to see. Sharper or clearer or something.

Edit: oh shit. Didn't know you could make your own colour. Thought you had to select from just the ones at the bottom.

There are definite cleaner graphics, I at least noticed the overdrive upgrade indicators are sharper.

Via /r/PS4, perhaps put it in the OP?

 

[True Underdog]

Mefitis without ability? Sounds like a nightmare.

I didn't read carefully enough and did Mefistis on Experienced with no abilities. I didn't get the silver trophy but I got the three bronze ones for doing them without particular abilities.

Here's my first crack at a ship, too. I'm a sucker for black and white but I know it looks like ass.

Actually using Nemesis' guns right now, though.

I believe the DLC is like $5, but a season pass (for future DLC) is maybe around $10?

It's something like that.

Neither this update or the DLC for Tuesday add new maps. Just new modes, with a new "night/day" visual (which I'm not sure affects gameplay).

I expect new maps to appear in future DLC.

I love my Phobo's esque ship with massive overdrive length and recharge rate and long boost mixed with the Nemesis weaponry.

Love being able to mix it up like that.

Oh and someone needs to make that Tron enemy ship lol. I tried but it just sucked.

 

[biglittleps]

This is excellent.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

WHY CANT I DOWNLOAD THESE YET!!!

Seriously, some great ships in just this thread alone. I want to kick ass with an original battlestar galactaca ship. Or the small fighter from DS9.

I must have my ships!

Edit: oh and the ship from Flight of the Navigator. Damn...there's so many.

amazing.

 

[SkullHydra]

So much top notch content already!

 

[IAmRandom31]

It's too bad we can't create moving parts like they have with those enemy ships with the ring that you can see spinning. Would make for even cooler ships.

Or create various firing points, like the hands of the iron man ship lol.

Maybe next update!

Also, as someone mentioned before, it does seem like this game got some sort of visual upgrade because it does look sharper. You can see the individual cubes better it seems.

 

[Wozman23]

Good news everyone!

 

[Hawaii Jeff]

Glad to see we're getting more levels to play too! Hopefully adding more variety.

And regarding the leaderboard wipe- do people really care about global leaderboards, since they always seem to be obviously hacked anyway?...

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

im proud even if its simple

 

[IAmRandom31]

Someone posted this on twitter lmao

 

[TimeEffect]

Good news everyone!

Oh hell no! I want this so bad!

Yep, definitely notice the visual upgrade, it's not just placebo as I thought.

I think you can create two areas for boost or weapons to fire out from (it's either 2 for boost and 1 for weapons or vice versa). I'm guessing creating multiple weapon slots would cause a problem for balance/potential exploit?

Moving parts would be cool. If you could literally layer a series of animations, to create a simple Pacman opening and closing its mouth? Sounds complex, but cool.

heres one im working on ATM

I'm pretty sure the green circle is the hit point on all ships.

Anyways I just made a proton gun from Ghostbusters as my ship.

 

[Tubie]

Local co-op will be amazing. This is my second most played PS4 game (after BF4) and it's about to get a lot more playtime from me!

 

[NeoRausch]

Oh Damm, they've added a second control scene to make it more playable on the Vita!

AH!

 

[truth411]

Ok, somebody please make the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars!!!

 

[TimeEffect]

Some info:

The Sentinel marks the transition between the three phases of each day-night cycle. Hunt it down, destroy it, and it will release a shockwave that wipes out all enemies from the screen – no worries, in Survival your multiplier only goes up!

To answer your next question: "How does the multiplier works?". In Survival you can increase the multiplier collecting the humans with a parachute, "multiplier up" tokens and also killing enemies, though you soon reach diminishing returns from them.

The Dropship releases humans as you hit it. It comes in two versions: one containing three humans, one containing ten.

Also, co-op in general has been reworked pretty much as you all wish it was in the first place ;-) More details on this maybe tomorrow.

From what I gather, a major complaint for co-op is that multiplier should be shared, since it just feels disconnected otherwise.

The season pass will include the soundtrack. $7.99 for two DLC + soundtrack + some extra.

(So I'm assuming Heroes DLC is like $5.00 on its own).

you can display another score over your own: you can pick between your next friend in the leaderboard, your previous high score, or the next guy in the global leaderboard.

This is a great feature, and it seems it was taken from Geometry Wars 2. It should definitely make the game so much more addictive.

Survival, which is an evolution of Endless from SSHD, and Demolition - "Arkanoid meets Resogun

balanced the previous weapons, for example Nemesis shoots less missiles but they are more effective, and some changes have been done to the projectiles of Phobos.

The idea now is that all 3 ships are good candidates for score, in different ways.

 

[ZServ]

This is an awesome update. Props to housemarque.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

shit nvm

 

[Mobius 1]

I made a Blue Falcon.

Look me up on Twitch to see it fly

 

[Gamerloid]

I just recently got my Platinum on the game, so it's a little too soon to see my progress go from 100% to 72%

Updates are adding some nice things though. Not pleased with some of the trophies, but they might be easier than they sound. Looks like we'll be seeing each other once again Mefistis.

 

[super-famicom]

Amazing update! Housemarque, you guys are awesome.

 

[KiraXD]

Quick and dirty Cowboy Bebop's Swordfish

[Xevren]

Good news everyone!

Oh my god I must have this.

 

[Gray Matter]

So many great custom ships, too bad I don't have the patience nor the creativity to make some awesome new ships.

 

[ieatzombies]

Amazing update! Looking to continue with the homie pxg to pick up where we left off! 3D Dot Heroes come to mind anyone?

 

[El-Pistolero]

Other developers take notes! This is how you nurture your community and ensure the longevity of your product...

Free updates and low priced DLC.

 

[Mindlog]

Finished my first quick and dirty ship.
Waiting for the video to render first.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

My ship looks terrible. I spent 50 minutes on it too. I honestly feel sorry for myself after looking in this thread. Hopefully somebody else can make a hood tie-fighter :'(

Also, what's that sound effect I keep hearing in the main menu?

 

[bobawesome]

I now have the urge to purchase this game when I receive my PS4 on Friday.

I think I'll make Ramiel.

 

[syphilosaurus]

Nice.

This may turn out to be the best free update ever.

 

[KiraXD]

Also, what's that sound effect I keep hearing in the main menu?

i believe its the new News Ticker at the bottom...

 

[Kings fan]

Magic School Bus.

lolololol

Quick and dirty Cowboy Bebop's Swordfish

That is also really really cool. Man you guys made this update a lot cooler than I thought it would be.



I might actually try and finish this game now.

 

[Mindlog]

My first ship. Video.

Very open to feedback. In an effort to reflect the Rynex it's currently at 10 overdrive and 5 Agility. Boost is 0 so be wary. Search term is obviously: Rynex.

Not too shabby for an incredibly inebriated first pass on the Fire Leo-04.
This game is making me incredibly bitter that PS4 doesn't have custom soundtracks yet.

 

[gotstrangepowers]

My kids are obsessed with Magic School Bus--time to switch from Minecraft

 

[Calcium]

Nice, I'm looking forward to playing this again later. The "I'm back and I brought a friend" trophy really sucks. I probably won't be able to maintain 100% in the game now.

 

[Melchiah]

new trophies:

Look, I made this! - Create a ship, share - Bronze
I like what I'm seeing - Like a ship - Bronze
Not 42, but close enough - Create and save a custom ship with exactly 1337 cubes - Bronze
Not even a dent - Complete a level with a custom made ship, without dying - Bronze
Took this thing on a test flight - Complete Arcade mode with a custom made ship, at Veteran difficulty level - Bronze
I'm overburdened - Complete a level with a custom made ship, with zero Agility - Bronze
The loneliness of a short distance runner - Complete a level with a custom made ship, with zero Boost - Bronze
No-verdrive - Complete a level with a custom made ship, with zero Overdrive - Bronze
NAVDML - Complete Mefitis on Veteran difficulty with a custom ship, with every ability set to zero - Silver
Burning times - Complete a level on Master difficulty without using bombs, overdrive or boost on a custom ship - Silver
I'm back and I bought a friend - Complete the game in local co-op with your friend, without dying - Bronze

Those seem unnecessarily hard, and the new trophies are somewhat a disappointment. Luckily, I've already platinumed the game.

THEY ADDED STATISTICS!!

I LOVE YOU HOUSEMARQUE!!

For the past accomplishments as well?

 

[VanCityGamer]

Sadly, no. Which makes the new feature kind of useless to me.

Same here, unfortunately.
