Housemarque: "Sometimes you need exclusive deals because money doesn't grow on trees"

If Sony buys them I bet they still won't make those anymore.

They've said they're working on a AAA game. If they have a deal with Sony, it's probably for that.
If Housemarque does another Twin Stick shooter, it'll likely just be to get back on their feet. You can tell the studio wants to be seen as something bigger. Which I don't blame them for, they deserve it. Much like Bend did after all that time of making smaller fare for a time until Days Gone.
You must not have been around here or the old place for the past couple of years if you don't think people got upset over Bayo 2 or SMT 5
Y'all, imagine an AAA game built around Housemarque's voxel tech running on next gen hardware.

They literally said they are done with arcade games so I'm not sure why so many think that is simply because they weren't selling and not also because they want to move on to something bigger. I think this unannounced game will be their big shot.
I have never seen it as bad as how MS or Sony gets it.

So it'll be a game about those cube explosions in anime?
And that's reasonable for Housemarque. They make absolutely amazing games and don't get the recognition (or sales) they deserve. They made pretty much the best launch titles for both the Vita and PS4. Nex Machina wasn't appreciated nearly as much as it should have been on the platforms they released it on.
So yes, for some devs, exclusive deals are absolutely necessary.

It's almost like people have different opinions and this forum isn't a hivemind.
I'm basically suggesting they take that to the next level with a much bigger game.
All types of cube explosions! A world made out of those sweet voxels.
I can't even imagine what an AAA Housemarque game would look like. We are going to find out though. I'm guessing it will be sci-fi.
They don't take that stance with all their games, otherwise games like Dreams or The Last Guardian wouldn't be even made.
The port begging rules were specifically invented because of Bayo 2 lol.
Guess this is a soft-confirmation that their AAA game that was rumored is being funded by Sony
Not every game needs to be of that caliber, especially when you already have a handful with GoW, Horizon, Uncharted, TLoU, etc. The game just adding diversity to their lineup is just as important tbh
I think you have to look at the long term with studio acquisitions. It is about where they can be years from now rather than where they are at this moment. Think of Naughty Dog pre-Sony and post-Sony. It is all about growth and what role they can play in the lineup.
The thought of it is hyping me up. Just give them the budget and time to go wild with a big world designed with voxels.

Yo Fudge! It is Fated!
I would LOVE another Outland. I also agree Outland is their best game, by far. None of their other games they've made come close to Outland. Oh, and the last boss in Outland was so unbelievably freaking epic. In fact, I loved all the bosses in the game and the music was incredible as well!
Watch they will release on all platforms but get the Epic Money. Face the PC backlash. However, do their games sell that well on PC to begin with?
