That had enough color and cool alien shooting to get me interested. It's Housemarque.

Im loving Sony's Diverse library of games. Its nice to play alot of high quality console games, without having to hand over $60 every damn time. A little bit of AAA, a little bit of Indie, a little bit of AA high quality $15-$30 games. Gotta love it.

Also read it as Alien Nation
was disappointed

This looks like a game I will load up every night after a long day, kick my surround to 40, turn up the bass, blast away and grin for half an hour and walk away damn pleased
I thought it was a Helldivers trailer at first. Also more excited for Helldivers. But there is room for both.

This was the best thing to come out of Gamescom. Going to be a blast.

Sony has to buy Housemarque ASAP.
All what them make is awesome. One of the best studios out there

I'm in the same boat. I loved SSHD, but I prefer my games to have a bit more context and narrative drive, which is why I preferred the structure of Dead Nation.
I think it's more like you can invade other people's games a la Dark Souls.
If Sony were looking into acquiring one of their partners then Housemarque would be at or near the top of that list, but they seem to have a good relationship the way things are and Housemarque pretty much work exclusively with Sony anyway.

Yeah, I could feel the throbbing of the guns in the speaker. Gunfire looks slick.

I hope the nationality metagame from Dead Nation is still in this too.

In housemarque I trust.
Beyond the space marines vs aliens theme, I'm not really seeing huge overlap here. Alienation looks more like it's focused on twitch/arcade action with a small helping of strategy on the side while Helldivers looks far more focused on strategy. I think they're going to be abundantly different in execution.

Holy jesus, man. I don't know but yes, probably. This is Housemarque.
Reading about 60fps in every fucking thread is actually making me angry. Sorry.

First thing I thought about!

If it helps you with your faith in humanity, I wouldn't even be mad if it was in 720p, but I need them frames badly.

Not sure there's any need...have they made anything not for Sony since Stardust? Then again I thought the same of Q Games, and a year or two ago they seemed to be ready to bail on consoles altogether...now they're making a PS4 exclusive. So who knows.

I want to say...Outland? Was that the platformer they made? I thought they made it to xbox but I can't remember.
They have always made small solid games that are fun and get more competitive the better you are at the game. I was playing Road to redemption for Dead nation this last weekend and it's still lots of fun.

That image reminds me of Renegade Ops. The engine from Avalanche Studios could produce some really beatiful and explosive graphics. Too bad Avalanche has not reused it in another game with the same overhead view.

GOD, this looks so fucking dope. Dead Nation turned out to be one of my favorite experiences so far this year in co-op mode, after being pretty down on it when I first tried the single player mode. Can't wait to do some couch coop playing with this.
resogun.
Both games look awesome, yet slightly different enough to be enjoyable on their own. When the hell is Helldivers coming out anyway? Feel like we haven't seen much of it lately and it seems like it was announced forever ago.
