Thanks for the thread, almost was about to make one. Someone said the game wasn't big enough to get a review thread. I beg to differ.
I'm avoiding looking too much into it, just listening to ACG's review (not watching).

The game being 900p on base PS4 is a bit disappointing.
But everything else about the game seems like a lot of fun so I can't complain.

Cool, an additional 10% off on Steam for owning Outland (for a total of 30% off until July 5th). Not bad. I may have to pick this up.
Where is that stated?

No story LOL
If Tetris or Pacman came out today they'd get docked points for having no story too

I guess it had to be 900p to keep a locked 60fps, does anyone know what the Pro is outputting? and does the game have super sampling (the fact we need to ask is ridicules)
They always do!

Alienation had online co-op. Nobody bought it, everybody demanded couch co-op. They can't win.
I don't think this game needs online coop. It's way too fast, IMO, even with the best connection wouldn't play flawless.

Fuck sake Sony, you need to sort out System level Supersampling ASAP.

Can't leave that responsabilty to devs. Maybe Sony will include in the next update, hoping that come soon.
Nah they don't need them, I'm in this for single-player.

That's why I said that Sony needs to add it, at a system level. Allow us to output 4K on 1080p displays.

Not worried personally as it's 60fps.

Wait... no online co-op either?
Hmm. Might hold off then.

These guys don't seem to miss the mark at all and to think matterfall is out in two months
Singleplayer for a Housemarque game...... are you for real????
Indeed. Would have been day ZERO otherwise. Playing this alone is not going to be fun however.
I can't believe people are not vocal about this. I mean, because of multiplayer online, I still play Resogun almost daily.
Yes? Resogun was fucking awesome in single-player.

Resogun and Super Stardust HD are the best Housemarque games and they're all perfect single player experiences. Based on what I've played of Nex Machina, it's no different.
I'm starting to wonder whether the reason so many games aren't doing it is because Sony has informed them they're working on a system level solution. Then again, it somewhat reminds me of what happened to Halo 3's clan system.

Played both Resogun and SuperStardust HD single player and loved them both. Online co-op is good but doesn't define the games fun factor on it's own to me
I've always played Housemarque games primarily as a single player game.
Ehhh that didn't seem like a very definitive statement, I don't know if they are confident if it's super-sampling or not. Technically every PS4 Pro game is 1080p when hooked up to a 1080p TV, and Resogun has supersampling iirc. Will wait for the final verdict before panicking
Well yes these games are fun in singleplayer for about a week or two.
After that online multiplayer is what keeps them fun for me.
Like I already said, I got Resogun for free when it was a free PSN game in the beginning of the PS4, and I STILL play it frequently. Because of online co-op!
Nonsense. Both Zombination and Alienation shine in online multiplayer.
I am a working man. I am not in a position to invite people over at 10 PM on a Tuesday working day to play some Resogun or Alienation together. I want to be able to do that online.
Utter nonsense to have no online multiplayer/co-op. Utter nonsense.

Same for me. Resogun, Superstardust and Outland are great SP experience, and Dead Nation / Alienation are good for co-op online.
I'll be trying to get some good scores in Nex Machina, so I'll be playing this alone most of the time.

I thought for sure this would have online coop because of how fun Alienation was. Have they commented on online coop? Most likely a deal breaker for me.
Then this isn't the game for you? But saying that Housemarque games need multi and aren't fun for long without is rubbish.

Vote with your wallet then. I'll be playing and enjoying the SP Nex Machina experience. Clearly it's not nonsense because the devs thought their resources would be better spent delivering couch co-op as opposed to online co-op. You know more than the devs about what's best for Nex Machina, I presume?

Totally different games, there isn't even a screen of text explaining anything here. You don't know why you fight the robots or what happened outside of the teaser trailers or reading something online. In fact even if they just added in that animated teaser stuff it would have been great as that can still tell a story, could have added in minor things. I don't need to know why I am putting a square block next to a rectangle block, I would however love to know what happened here especially considering everything else is so good from a gameplay and sound point of view.
