For some reason, I seem to be getting caught up in the PS4 hype. However, none of the launch games interest me, and I'm not really into futuristic war type stuff, and FPS shooters bore me to death.

I'm hoping there's a drop in the price of the PS3 after this launches though, so I can pick up GTA5.

And it's free on Plus. BOOOOOOM! Love that the landscape shatters when you use the bomb.

 

Really cannot wait for Killzone, too. The more I see of it...NOM NOM NOM. That little chirp when you kill someone...drool. How Pavlovian.

 

What trailer are those gifs from?

ResoGun? okay, thanks. :)

Just been checking some youtube gameplay footage of it, and it left me more than disappointed though. Sure it has pretty colours and stuff, but the bullet patterns look badly designed, and it sort of seemed boring? I do like bullet hell shooters though, but then again I also like some Gradius.. So I don't know, it just looked not as good as I was hoping after seeing that gif above.

New Stardust is free? Fuck yes.

Back when I was cool I used that 'bleep' as my text tone. Playing KZ2 whilst in a text conversation made it feel like I was getting mega kill-streaks in the match! But that was only for one day when I got message offers from Vodaphone and Dominoes, it hasn't happened since.

Is it me, or do the PS4 exclusives (like Killzone, Resogun, Drive Club and inFamous) just look way more polished in the graphical department than multiplatform and XBO games?

Really? think you should have gone to Specsavers. To me it looks like Housemarque are putting their spin on Defender and I personally think it looks fantastic.

 

In other news I now have a PS4 preorder in - might not get one in the first batch but should have one shortly after. I'm getting Killzone (all DLC is free) and Drive Club (£20 PSPlus is too good to refuse).

Graphics look nice, and I'll admit, I've not seen later levels of the game. What I have seen however, doesn't impress. Bullets that shoot straight up, fading away near the top of screen, where all you need to do is stick to the bottom of the screen? Looks like bad design when viewed through my eyes.

Then the score system, a combo has a 3 sec limit. So does that mean there will be up to 3 second lulls in anything being on screen?

3 seconds in a huge amount of time in these kind of games, Dodonpachi for example is about half a second, before the combo breaks.

If the enemies were set up in a more Ikaruga based way, then maybe a 3 sec limit could work -- but I don't see anything that indicates the level design will be that intricate.

It did remind me of Defender, which was a great game in its day. The developer of ResoGun, is saying this is a shooter for the new era though. I see no evidence of that, other than pretty graphics.

What more do you need?

It's OK to be wrong.

What's that supposed to mean?

It's clear enough what I wrote, based on what I've seen and have read about the game. If the game turns out to be different, then it turns out to be different.

Only teasing.

 

You should try Stardust if you've got a PS3. It's not a constant bullet-frenzy shooter like you've got stuck in your head, instead the combo-building is about using a boost function to hunt down enemies and asteroids to score points, before changing over to a defensive style when a new wave of matter floods the planet and you just need to try and survive. It gives the stages more variety and it's weirdly cathartic. Methodically stripping down asteroids with a hose-like flame-thrower, with chilled bleepy music in the background, is not an activity to be sniffed at.

But Stardust is an Amiga game?
