Housemarque's new AAA game will be revealed in the coming months; Stormdivers on ice
- Thread starter Turkoop

I know it prob won't be but I really want resogun 2. When the mechanics in that game click, it feels so good. I just want a sequel just expanded even more.
Would love to see them tackle something like Helldiver's , perhaps with a faster gameplay loop.
When I heard the name stormdivers I initially thought it was going to be a Helldiver's type game.

Funnily enough, isn't the studio behind Helldivers also rumoured to be making a AAA PS5 exclusive?
If Sony plans to buy more devs, they are together with Bluepoint the most likely candidates imo.
A new Alienation or Resogun would be devine. But I imagine it might be something totally new they are cooking up for us. Can't wait for the reveal.
Kind of happy they are abandoning Stormdivers tbh. It looked mechanically competent but I just can't see it being able to compete in a genre where you need an enormous player base. It also lacked a hook or an artstyle that could sucker in the mainstream. I'm worried it could have done a lot of damage to the company financially if they had continued working on it. There was zero buzz for the game.
Hoping their next game is gameplay focused but not completely reliant on a large player base. Looking forward to seeing it.

really excited to see this. i'll miss their arcade stuff, but i think they can do something really interesting in the AAA space with their focus on fast paced, gameplay first games
Song is the obvious guess, but, I wouldn't count out MS. Wasn't there a rumor a while ago about them working with a dev that had closely worked with Sony in the past? I remember the speculation then being around Ready at Dawn but, maybe these guys as well?
Either way, excited to see what it is. Stormdivers was a hard sell from day one. Sounds like they're genuinely excited about it.

They've said it's a AAA title so I just don't see it being either of those. My guess would have been some sort of 1st/3rd person shooter but they've had Stormdivers in development to fill that gap so I don't think they'd be developing two such titles at the same time.
I want to see them try their hand at a Diablo-like; with their tech I think it'd be awesome and they'd bring a cool take to the Action RPG genre, at the very least aesthetically if Nex Machina and Alienation are anything to go by.
Bluepoint would be a great purchase. Imagine if they had two Bluepoint teams, one doing full remasters and another one just upscaling assets for PS4 games that you play on PS5 that you can download with a patch. That'd be sweet!
As a AAA concept that'd be a really good fit. If they could do a Diablo/Destiny 2 style GAAS title that could be awesome. I'm picturing something with their usual isometric viewpoint but with a central multiplayer hub where you can meet up with others and go and do missions and raids together in a persistent world.
I hope it's another story driven 3rd person shooter with Resogun and Nex Machina gameplay.
Still is great. mmm-mmm!
Damn. I forgot how much I loved this game. I gotta boot it back up tonight.
Stormdivers getting iced is probably for the best. If it had more personality and character instead of the semi-grounded space marine stuff we got...I'd probably have been disappointed. But I won't miss what was shown.
Very much looking forward to whatever they make. SuperStarDust and Resogun are two of my all time favorite games, and Dead Nation is my favorite zombie shooter :)
Interesting article. With all the talk about collaboration (and I'm still thinking it's going to be a Sony title) I'm assuming that they've had some help from the likes of Bend Studios as they used UE4 for Days Gone. If so then they'd be a great choice as they've also come from a background of creating smaller titles.
Wonder if Sony would be evaluating whether to bring Housemarque into the fold as a 1st party studio if that's the case? It seems like a good fit for me as they've got plenty of high-end AAA studios but not as many in the AA bracket.
That'd be my guess. A launch game for PS5 free on Plus day one much like Resogun to showcase the new console.
Still is great. mmm-mmm!
Had they patched in a VR mode, that would have looked glorious in VR.
