Is there a aim lock like ReCore/Metroid? Looks good

 

[manustany]

Looks damn good!

 

[Rosebud]

This games looks awesome

 

[That1GoodHunter]

Looks fantastic, and what i was hoping for, clasic Housemarque wrapped up in a neat 3rd person shooter package.

In this short clip (from here) we see the player aiming. But maybe there's a option.

Hm, I thought new footage would warrant its own thread, since info seems a bit scarce and the game could use more presence than to bury the news in the original thread. If mods disagree they may lock this though.

God damn that looks amazing :O If it doesn't have it it's cool :D

 

[KennyLinder]

Maaaaan can't wait for this, it's not far off now is it?

First half of 2021 if there's no delays

Visually it might take the crown from ratchet with those particles. Very beautiful. They are gonna nail the shooting I wonder what other elements are in store. Creative director said they are doing some unique stuff with gameplay.

 

[Cocolina]

I hope they learned their lesson from Matterfall and managed score attack shooting and other gameplay elements better

 

[Poldino]

Click to shrink...

Sooo good.

 

[Alecs27]

It's giving me Vanquish vibes and I like it..

 

[MegaSackman]

Hope we can see it in action soon, it looks thrilling.

 

[AllBizness]

This have a release date?

 

[Kira]

Please delivers ! Can't wait for this gem

 

[Deleted member 17207]

Ouf looks really fucking cool. Like a AAA cinematic game crossed with an arcadey action shooter.

I need it

 

[cowbanana]

Will this be €80? If it is then I smell bomba, even though I think the game looks great.

First half of 2021 is the only thing we have.

 

[Reckheim]

The more i see and hear about this game the more hyped i get.

 

[Deleted member 16908]

Looks cool, unfortunately I don't think it will sell well unless it's priced very fairly.

Come to think of it, how incredible-looking would Resogun and Super Stardust be at 120fps?

Havent all their games sold within what they exected.
They arent a AAA developer so they dont need to sell AAA numbers.

Nex Machina was one of my favorite games of last gen I dont believe it sold terribly. But it did more than enough for them.

Didn't they at some point announce publicly that their arcade game style was not working out very well for them?

Hopefully it's digital only and costs 30-40$, like the rest of their games just priced slightly higher

 

[mullah88]

The dual sense sensation for this game will be amazing to experience

 

[Kaswa101]

Looks lit

 

[SixelAlexiS]

Is there a aim lock like ReCore/Metroid? Looks good

Click to shrink...

I really don't think so, this will be quite hardcore game. Honestly I feel that aim lock completely destroys the meaning of shooting games, they become literally "hold the left and right trigger > wow you won!". This is why I despise ReCore and Crackdown 3. I've played the Metroid Prime games with free aim on Wii tho.

Btw new footage looks hot AF, really looking into this.

 

[ThisOne]

This is a roguelite, right? My apologies, I haven't been able to watch the video yet.

 

[Tremorah]

Click to shrink...

That looks like something that im very much into

 

[Dizastah]

This is looking better and better.

 

[poklane]

This game looks exactly like what I expected from a 3rd person Housemarque game and I'm all for it.

 

[Fuhgeddit]

This game looks fucking awesome and makes me jealous if I don't get a PS5 down the line.

 

[Alek]

Yeah. Even Nex Machina which was reviewed super well only sold around 100,000 units.

88 on metacritic and played by less than 0.1% of the total PS4 userbase.

 

[slider]

I know it's Housemarque and I know what I should expect. But from that gif... I wanna explore the environments.

Hm I really hope this is not a "quite hardcore game", at least options would be nice.

 

[OnanieBomb]

Nice teaser...really can't wait to see more. This might be the system seller for me.

 

[V has come to]

can't wait for this game

When put like that, pretty upsetting to hear. Nex Machina was so damn good

 

[Camillo]

Love Housemarque, bought all their games day 1 and enjoyed all of them.

[CatAssTrophy]

Holy moly this looks so good. I really hope this is HM's breakout title that helps them successfully move into this new era of theirs. I was worried for a while from some of their side projects not panning out.

 

[Neuromancer]

Cool new feature on ps5, will definitely follow more games.

Click to shrink...

How do you follow or for that matter, unfollow, games?

 

[werezompire]

This reminds me that now that I have a nice laptop, I should totally pick up Nex Machina and see how good it can look.

 

[DeathyG]

Watched this when I booted up my PS5 this morning. Looks awesome.

First half of 2021 is looking really good with Returnal, Ratchet, and Kena.

 

[baberunisei]

Wow, looks like an over-the-shoulder perspective Next Machina. Very excited and happy with Housemarque's return(al) to what they do best

 

[GattsuSama]

Gives me Lost Planet vibes which I like.
