[BLOG] Eurogamer 2013: PS4 Indie: Resogun - #EGX

Another indie game coming to the Playstation 4 was shown off today in a developer's session at Eurogamer Expo. Resogun, an exclusive to Sony's new-gen console, is the latest game from studio Housemarque, previously known for titles such as Super Stardust HD and Super Stardust Delta. Indeed some have called this Resogun the spiritual successor to those earlier games.







Set in a futuristic space setting, Resogun sets the gameplay in cylindrical levels where you as a small spaceship blast away from the left and right directions at oncoming enemy vehicles and eventually at the end of the stage, boss characters. Wonderfully colourful and very light-filled, it looks to be a game that will be very fast paced and shall require great reflexes on the part of the player. Power-ups are available in the game (for things such as upgrading weapons and a shield) and there are special weapons too besides the generic laser weapon that just shoots. Boost can be used to flee tighter situations or to ram through lines of enemies, Bomb can be used to clear the entire stage and Overdrive triggers a massive laser light show that seems to incinerate anything unlucky enough to get caught in its path. The weapon upgrade can also be applied to that third one by the way. There will be a choice of ships available for playing the game with and different levels of difficulties so those experienced with shooters can be happy as well as those who are less experienced. Each ship will have different strengths and weaknesses that will suit different playstyles.



There was also a little discussion about future plans for the game after the release and we were told there was a list of things Housemarque wanted to do with the game, with 3D and potential DLC being mentioned.



Resogun is released for Playstation 4 on November 29th as a launch title and is also being included free in the Instant Game Collection for Playstation Plus.
