Housemarque's (Super Stardust, Dead Nation, RESOGUN) new game:

ALIENATION

Trailer here

 

[abaldwin360]

Looks a lot like Dead Nation.

 

[mejin]

I'm sold.

 

[Lambtron]

This looks fun.

 

[KimonoNoNo]

Ooh, look at all the pretty particles.

 

[robotzombie]

Looks a lot like Dead Nation.

...you'll get it

 

[Wildarmsjecht]

This game looks great.

Have they mentioned anything about CoOp or online play?

Still looks marvelous. HouseMarque never fails.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I'm on-board with this so hard.

Housemarque is on fire.

 

[Nirolak]

Looks a lot like Dead Nation.

Yes, it's a pun.

 

[gotstrangepowers]

Poor Helldivers

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Can't wait to get my grubby hands on this.

 

[Stone Ocean]

So sci fi Dead Nation with a Demon's Souls-esque invasion system?

SOLD

 

[funkystudent]

Ehhh.


Was hoping Housemarque would make a new game that isn't a dual joystick shooter.


That platformer they did a few years ago was ok.

 

[valkillmore]

Hell yes. Looks great!

 

[gotstrangepowers]

This game looks great.

Have they mentioned anything about CoOp or online play?

Still looks marvelous. HouseMarque never fails.

Yes co-op

 

[blastprocessor]

Disappointing from House Marque. Was hoping for Super Stardust 2 or a shooter like The Reap.

 

[theechrisfox]

Talkin' bout comfort zone. It looks fun.

 

[NateGrigs]

Yes co-op

Yeah the trailer gave me the impression that this was built for co-op

 

[Carcetti]

This game looks great.

Have they mentioned anything about CoOp or online play?

Still looks marvelous. HouseMarque never fails.

• Different player classes, key skills upgrades and customization for weapons to create the hero character that suits the way you play
• 4-players co-op and the possibility to invade other players as mercenary bounty hunters

From their site. Looks great!

 

[MDSLKTR]

Looks nice, but can housemarque try something other than twin stick shooters...

 

[IAmRandom31]

This looked insanely good.

Well when you are damn good at something ...

 

[NoctisVsStar]

reminds me of loaded for some reason

 

[kaching]

Dead Nation never really grabbed like SSHD or Resogun do because it's pacing was more irregular. This looks more like the non-stop pacing of SSHD/Resogun which works better for me. Definitely want to see more first, since they're calling this their largest title to date. Still don't really know what that means based off this trailer alone.

 

[acklame]

Sold. Looks awesome.

 

[Vandiger]

I like it.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

maybe we get this game before the end of the year?

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Housemarque

SOLD!

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

There needs to be a gameplay wise penalty for going rogue. You can't have a player turn on the team without consequences. Increase the enemy difficulty, have them swarm that person, etc.

 

[Guymelef]

Particles everywhere.

 

[Shredderi]

Oh yes I wanted Dead Nation 2 but this will do juuuust fine!

 

[JoeFenix]

HYPE!

 

[SirMossyBloke]

This is what Dead Nation should have been. Not the slow, boring shooter we got instead.

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

This looks good, as expected from Housemarque.

 

[Paches]

Housemarque = instant buy.

That doesn't seem to be what they mean by "go rogue" - it's not turning on your team but rather simply playing as a bounty hunter that can go after other teams in the first place.

 

[TimeEffect]

No offense, but there are a lot of games that are from this perspective/genre in the indie scene. Only reason to get excited is because it's Housemarque, but it didn't wow me

 

[neos]

That's my money already spent there.

Because, at least at the release, you couldn't play it in short bursts because you couldn't save in the middle of a level. And the gameplay was more suited to shorter bursts not to half hour levels you can't quit.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

Wasn't a big fan of DN either but this looks way better mostly due to the amount of speed you seem to have.

I understand the motivation, that still doesn't make it the more appealing approach for me.

 

[klier]

Soooo bought!!!!

I love Housemarque!

 

[KillerDark]

Looks like it could be fun! Glad to see it looks much faster pace than dead nation

 

[madmaxx350]

no release date announced?

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

DN was ok back then, but twin stick shooters are done. Particles, I guess.

 

[plainr_]

This is better than I hoped for.

 

[MrSilentGuy]

It looks nice, I hope that it will have better gameplay than Dead Nation.

 

[Decado]

Looks good, but I still want Dead Nation 2. I think I prefer the pacing of that game to what I see in that video.

So does this confirm they're not making dn2?

 

[SerTapTap]

Looks great, hopefully it's a lot faster paced than Dead Nation though. DN is easily my least favorite of their games.

They got the genre on lock

 

[EGOMON]
