Forums - Sony - PS4: Housemarque's Alienation Releasing 26th April

Take a look at that third video if you don't want to watch all three. This has incredible tech:
Housemarque’s explosive bug blaster hits PS4 on 26th April

Greetings from Helsinki. The researchers at Housemarque have received warning signs of an impending alien invasion and after much analysis, they are certain that a full blown confrontation is inevitable on 26th April.

Early reports show that there is no need for panic however as a new military sub-section of the UN has been created to specifically handle all incidents of alien outbreaks.

Representing the new force, known as the UNX, Colonel Alexander Clark reports that front line defences seem to be operational and he expects a total eradication of the threat before citizens come into contact with the alien species, dubbed the “Xenos”.

Clark also commented on chaotic footage of an alleged UNX training mission and assures the PlayStation Nation that everything is under control!

Some similarities to a previous “zombie” outbreak (Dead Nation) are visible but Housemarque has clearly upped their game since that last time they had to save the world.

 
As you can see from the trailer, in Alienation, the Xenos are super-aggressive and cars are literally being blown sky high in the heat of battle. However, the amount of weapons at your disposal and the options to upgrade them are enormous. Heavy casualties are expected but co-operation with other UNX agents is the key to becoming an unstoppable force!

Ilari Kuittinen, one of the founders of Housemarque was recently quoted as saying, “We’ve always been a tech centric company and now we have the chance to prove our capabilities to the world in our most ambitious project ever”.

It really seems that alien related R&D has suited us very well and we look forward to seeing you on the battlefield soon! Alienation is available for pre-order on PlayStation Store from today, with a 10% discount on the launch price.

smoke effects look really nice



Sony really needs to buy Housemarque. It would be awesome to have a studio that's so good at making smaller, arcade style games. Who knows, they may may even make a great AAA or AA game someday.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

This.

 

Outland and Resogun are two amazing games.

Perhaps they don't want to be bought or Sony sees it as a waste of time at the moment because they're second party and producing PS4 exclusives anyway.

The game looks awesome.

The tech behind this game is really something, it is the little things that makes you say wow nowadays when it comes to graphics, this game impressed me.



Looks really fun but I'm sure it'll be free for PS Plus eventually and I can wait.

IIRC they mentioned on Twitter once that The Jarvis Project would be multiplatform. I can't seem to find it anymore, but I'm 99% sure I heard them mention something like that once.

That still doesn't stop them making PS4 exclusives though. I don't see the point in Sony purchasing them if they're producing the quantity and quality of titles Sony and the fans are happy with.

A quick question on this game, its mulit or you can play solo too ?
