It's fair to say the PlayStation 4's launch line-up isn't the strongest we've ever seen, but one title we're really excited about is Housemarque's Resogun, the Finnish developer's "spritual sequel" to the Super Stardust games. It's an old-school shmup with a wraparound twist and some stunning voxel-based spectacle - all running at 1080p60, naturally, and free to PlayStation Plus subscribers at launch.

Watch an entire level disintegrate in the stunning footage below, captured at Gamescom last week by our video editor Ian Higton. Ian also chatted to Housemarque's Harry Kruger and played the game himself, coming away deeply impressed - he compares it to playing Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved on an Xbox 360 for the first time.

For more on Resogun, be sure to check back at 10am tomorrow UK time for in-depth Digital Foundry coverage of the game, including an unmissable 60 frames per second video.

They changed the formula from a globe to a cylinder and it is look sick.

I loved Super Stardust HD and I will love this free plus game.

At 0:14 in the video... holy shit cakes batman, that was amazing.

Super Stardust was good, Resogun appears to be even better, of course visually but more so game play wise, I like the scrolling cylinder approach more.

it does look quite sexy. i do love me a shump.

So....just to recap. On day 1, how many games are you able to play for free?

Fuckin shit, that's a lot of particles :D my eyes are going to pop during that game, but I will also have a lot of fun with it.

That's why.

Looks nice, though!

Like 6 I think? DriveClub PS+ edition whatever will it be, Resogun, Planetside 2, DCUO, War Thunder, and one more that I can't remember. There may be even more that I am missing.

Besides the F2P games: DRIVECLUB PlayStation Plus Edition!, Resogun, Don't Starve, Outlast, and The Secret Ponchos.
