Their RebootDevelop (game dev conference in Croatia) keynote titled «Arcade is dead... what next?» starts Saturday at 10 AM local time.
I know, just saying that they even call their keynote Arcade is dead.
It's what they did for many many years, so I don't think that it's really necessary.
Play Nex Machina ASAP, I think many will agree it's their best one to date. Super smashing arcade plus unbelievably moving OST.
That's Vodafone though?From old site, V was trademarked awhile ago.

Anyway I don't think it's Sony related either. They've already said somewhere it's going to be multiplayer PC / Steam Early Access.
Hmm yea true. Just a coincidence then because there was a Gaf thread talking about this V trademark last year.
This is a PC/Early Access game, not PS exclusive like the last games, minus Nex Machina.

I didn't play Matterfall (don't have a PS4), but was under the impression it's one of their weaker titles. Still a good game, people say, but Nex Machina (and obviously awesome Resogun) trumps it.
I did a couple months ago and the game is glorious. Hoping the best for the studio, can't wait to see what they venture into next.
Not quite sure how to read those 'four truths', because they certainly weren't my experience when I was in development! Not sure if it's being satirical, or sincere about Housemarque's own internal procedures.
Arcade titles are having amazing sales in Switch, I can think in the stories of success of 'Graceful Explosion Machine' with 50,000 copies sold, or 'Danmaku Unlimited 3' released this year with the eShop flooded with new releases, and even with this, it surpassed the rest of versions of the game.
But all of that said, Housemarque owe a lot to Sony, they have funded a lot of their projects, pushed their games through marketing, selected their games for Playstation Plus.
I will say that a great part of the success of the studio is thanks to the work of Sony.
So as much as I will love to see their new game released in Switch, and I think that their objective public who is interested in old school arcade games is now in this system, I also can see how they maybe will prefer to remain loyal to Sony.
I'd love another Resogun/Stardust-style game from them. They are world class at the twin-stick shooters!
Well the fact that is them that make those games, not you, and they think that is indeed necessary should be enough
I would buy this.
Are there any 2D indie Battle Royale games yet?
I love Resogun, it's very easy to get into it but has lots of depths too. Also, it's available across PS3, Vita and PS4.
I wonder if there's any chance the previous games like Dead Nation, Resogun will come to PC. I didn't think it was possible because of Sony publishing them but they also published the PixelJunk games and they all turned up on PC eventually.
They did self publish Nex Machina which is also on Steam. I wonder if that game could get the success it deserves with a Switch port.
For me personally, they've been one of, if not the most consistent developer over the past decade and that's crazy considering how prolific they've been.
I'm a huge fan of Super Stardust and Resogun, but it was Alienation that blew my expectations out the water the most.
