Is there cross-platform multiplayer? Happy it's confirmed for PS+.

 

[Ketch]

I've been waiting what seems like forever. PS+ too? This is the best news.

 

[GitarooMan]

Man, I've been looking forward to this game forever, awesome that it will be on PS+.

 

[aristotle]

For some reason I get the distinct vibe that this is iso-view Destiny mixed with Starship Troopers. It looks awesome and I can't wait. I hope my friends will actually play it lol

Same vibe here in a great way. If this is free on Plus it will guarantee that players will always be available for coop.

I want to know more about any customization/upgrades/abilities. I see 3-4 distinct classes?

 

[Aselith]

OMG PS plus best thing ever!

What if they are just joshing and trying to surprise everyone?!

 

[TheNAC]

Price point they said is $19.99

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Is this basically Sci fi Dead Nation?

Shit. At $20 I'll think about it. That's a little steep.

 

[Aselith]

Is this basically Sci fi Dead Nation?

Hopefully not

 

[5taquitos]

Is this basically Sci fi Dead Nation?

That will be Alienation by House Marquee. Think of this as more of a Sci Fi Magicka

 

[AndyD]

Shit. At $20 I'll think about it. That's a little steep.

Right. We'll need more info on how much content for that price.

[Usobuko]

Cross play, but is it cross buy? doubt it

From their AMA on reddit now.

 

[sturgboski]

From their AMA on reddit now.

Wait so one Arrowhead AMA has the developers saying its not cross buy. But then another AMA has the developer saying it is.

 

[Nightengale]

AMA said it's not a Plus title.

 

[firebranded]

It's Sony published so it's cross-buy.

 

[FF Seraphim]

Same boat... I mean Bloodborne does come out at the end of the month so $20 for this game without knowing more info... eh..

Fuck
Guess I'm not playing this on March

 

[firebranded]

They should do a nice discount for plus members at least.

 

[truth411]

I just watched the trailer, is it me or is this game heavily influenced by Starship Troopers?

That Rebecca Black reference lol

This will probably be a tough platinum.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

don't care if this is free or $20, i'm getting it at launch

 

[SapientWolf]

Um, it's not just you.

It's also the most hardcore shooter I've ever played on a console. The convention demo was mind warpingly difficult. It's the type of game that will turn enemies into friends, and friends into enemies. Can't wait to get my hands on this again.

There's plenty of info and gameplay footage out there.

 

[NastyBook]

Would you like to know more?

Been waiting on this game ever since it was announced. I hope the alien crushing is as visceral as I'm hoping.

 

[StaffyManasse]

I will play this until I die or find a better game.

I just hope the satire is good and not too ham fisted.

 

[Alex Connolly]

I am pumped. I have been pumped since the game's announcement and will remain in a state of pump until the scarifying winds of a distant world sand my bones to naught.

Looking forward to it.

 

[floatingcoffins]

Is the size of the Vita version known?

-never mind - checked the AMA and it's supposed to be 1GB on each platform.

 

[Trogdor1123]

oh wow, that's awesome!

I literally had not followed this at all. Bought tomorrow for sure!

This likes like the definition of fun!

 

[CozMick]

Great,


All cross-play means these days is that the game will be hacked to death thanks to the PS3 version. urgh

Vita version is 1733MB, and I am quite sure the PS4 download was closer to 3GB (I think).

 

[Hanmik]

It´s CROSS PLAY, CROSS SAVE, CROSS CHAT and CROSS BUY: Across all platforms (PS4, PS3 and PS Vita) ..

 

[lt519]

Buddies and I are picking this up, but I can't seem to find it anywhere on the store online for pre-order??

 

[eFKac]

Watched a couple of playthroughs.

Holy shit, this may as well be the best non-arcade twin stick shooter ever. It looks fantastic.

And it's hard to believe it's procedurally generated, levels looked great. (Unless some are handcrafted)

Yay! Cross everything!

Yep, not on the store.

You and I will have to plan on cooping this. Something we haven't done since those SOCOM tactical games and we were in more manageable time zones.

 

[lt519]

Yep, not on the store.

Booo, wanted to pre-load so it'd be ready when I got home for work. Need to scratch that co-op itch. Guess I'll leave the PS4 in standby.

"Bring democracy to the universe"? That's got to be tongue-in-cheek right?

In the meantime, get hype

[lt519]

How are they going to handle level differences? i.e. if we play separately in groups of 2 or 3 instead of all 4 every time will someone fall hopelessly behind and have the game ruined? Seems to be a major problem with most online co-op games I play.

So good. This game is as good as bought.
