Digital Gathering exclusive interview with indie developer Housemarque

Tommaso: That said the other PS4 project we are working on is the biggest project we have been working on so far

Kong: Back in September last year you released a RESOGUN introduction video, but right at the end (just before one of your colleagues was conveniently interrupted and attacked by the lurking zombie, I don't know why he didn't just headshot him in the first place) there was word that you had a new title coming to the PS4? Was this Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition or is this the "other PS4 project" you spoke about earlier?

Tommaso: We realized afterwards that that video gives away A LOT more than we initially intended. Luckily people failed to put the pieces together, I guess. At that point we knew that Climax Studios was working on the PS4-PSVita ports, but the video wasn't referring to those, so I'd suggest you start watching it in loop until you have a eureka moment

Tommaso: It's all there, really

Kong: I'll have to re-examine the video and get back to you on that then, but can you give us a genre or code name for your upcoming PS4 project then? Or perhaps a one-liner that describes it in general?

Tommaso: Nope, sorry. We are not speaking about that until reveal. And we are not 100% sure when the reveal is yet

Kong: Oh come on, I won't tell anyone haha

Tommaso: I can say it's gonna please (and surprise maybe?) most of our fans. It's not a driving game! That I can say

What did we miss?

• No zombies
• 'Splosions
• Space

Stardust..?

 

[StuBurns]

Considering he's motioning to the Dead Nation logo when he says it, probably just DN2.

What did we miss?

I wonder what's up with those Corn Flakes in the background.

 

[jayu26]

Kill Strain?

 

[Flandy]

Weren't they teasing a Dead Nation Successor before the PS4 came out?

 

[alr1ght]

Half Life 3

 

[googleplex]

Dead Nation VR?

 

[bombshell]

What did we miss?

No zombies
'Splosions
Space

That is the characterization of Resogun. Remember this video is from before the launch of that.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

I wonder what's up with those Corn Flakes in the background.

He's also drinking OJ. Something breakfast related?!?

 

[BibiMaghoo]

I wonder what's up with those Corn Flakes in the background.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[DarkJedi24]

Kill Strain?

Hmm... I like your thinking.

 

[EGOMON]

After Resogun i am going to buy every game from these guys day 1 i don't care what it is i KNOW its gonna be goooood

 

[Tambini]

I actually like Dead Nation but please don't be Dead Nation 2. I want to see something new.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

My question is why has Sony not bought them yet? RAD, Quantic Dream, Sparrow and this team seem like obvious choices in who to buy.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Maybe the zombie tackle is relevant. Mutant League Football remake confirmed.

Stardust..?

He was describing Resogun before showing the footage.

 

[jaypah]

I don't really care what it is, they get the benefit of the doubt from me now. I just want to see it!

 

[josecitoxnyo]

Stardust VR. That would be amazing.

 

[blastprocessor]

I am hoping its much better than resogun and dead nation, both lack lustre compared to super stardust.

 

[benny_a]

My question is why has Sony not bought them yet? RAD, Quantic Dream, Sparrow and this team seem like obvious choices in who to buy.

Maybe they don't want to be bought?

 

[ScottSullivan]

I thought dead nation was great, but I don't neccesarily need another.

 

[alr1ght]

Here's a look at everything in the bg

 

[Mesoian]

So Outland 2. Coolsville. Game so good I cosplayed from it.

::sigh::

 

[MilesTeg]

Hard to see this as anything other than Dead Nation 2 but I don't know. He said it would please most of their fans, and I don't think a sequel would do that.

 

[Dead Prince]

Here's a look at everything in the bg

why is there a cup of pee on the table.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Im gonna throw out an insane suggestion that will make most people laugh their ass off.

Cool Boarders 5.

 

[MilesTeg]

Im gonna throw out an insane suggestion that will make most people laugh their ass off.

Cool Boarders 4.

Well there looks to be all kinds of references to some of their old games there. Not that they made Cool Boarders but looking at their games developed they do have experience with snowboarding games.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

why is there a cup of pee on the table.

If that's what your pee looks like, consult a physician immediately.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Exactly what I was thinking.

Corn Flakes = Rooster mascot

Rooster = male chicken

Chickens in radiation suits!!!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaauh!

 

[Halph n Halph]

I'd love a futuristic violent sports game . Speedball for the new generation.

 

[EvB]

Exactly what I was thinking.

Looks like maybe one of their games had a demo disc in a box of cornflakes.
That's what it looks like

 

[Dead Prince]

If that's what your pee looks like, consult a physician immediately.

only when i slush it with a poo pebble though.

 

[DarthPrince]

I caught the corn flakes too... wonder if it means anything. I really hope it's a new IP, even though I'd totally be okay with Outland 2 =)

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

How about a Housemarque compilation?

Something about Snowboarding back there too.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

I'm calling it now. Dead Nation MMO where you have to eat corn flakes to survive

 

[Cthulhu_Steev]

Looks like maybe one of their games had a demo disc in a box of cornflakes.
That's what it looks like

It's probably a ma(i)ze game they're making.

 

[JayEH]

Hope its not Dead Nation 2, played the first game on Plus, it sucks.

 

[krioto]

Hope its not Dead Nation 2, played the first game on Plus, it sucks.

You know nothing - DN was great

 

[seventynine]

What's another classic of 70's/early 80's arcades? We've had Asteroids and Defender, what else could they spice up?

 

[Bloodrage]

Hope its not Dead Nation 2, played the first game on Plus, it sucks.

I hope it is Dead Nation 2 as the first one is one of the best co-op games on PSN.

 

[Curufinwe]

I would love a PS4 snowboarding game with good music. SSX 2013 was great outside of all the death pits.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Exactly what I was thinking.

There is a free disc in there

 

[CDV13]

Looks like maybe one of their games had a demo disc in a box of cornflakes.
That's what it looks like

Yea if anyone could find out what that game was....I feel like that has to be the clue. It's separated too not to be it.

 

[SiegfriedFM]

Microsoft got Killer Instinct back from the dead. Surely Sony needs their exclusive, top tier fighter: Elfmania!

[IAmRandom31]

He says to watch the video in a loop until you have a Eureka moment.

We need gifs!

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

why is there a cup of pee on the table.

It's guava juice.

 

[HueyFreeman]

Goddamn. We need some of moderate intelligence in here, quick!

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Sony should buy this studio ASAP
