PSN games scheduled: more Blast Factor fun in the future?
Three Speech has just dated three PlayStation Network games for Europe. While these are still subject to change, at least we get a picture of a possible time frame of when they could be released. As for releases in the United States, maybe this schedule could still apply (with a one to two weeks time allowance):
May 18: Calling All Cars
May 25: Nucleus
June 15: Super Stardust HD
While we’ve been pretty familiar with Calling All Cars for the past couple of weeks/months now (care of David Jaffe, of course), we’ve only been recently acquainted with the Blast Factor-ish PSN title Nucleus. This molecular biology shoot-’em-up game by Kuju Entertainment is worth looking out for in itself. However, what’s this Super Stardust HD? Strangely so, it’s yet another Blast Factor-themed title, but this time from Housemarque.
It’s based on the space shoot-’em-up Stardust (Amiga) series from Bloodhouse, and 1Up (that’s their screenshot of the game above) has compared it to, not just Blast Factor, but Geometry Wars as well. You’ll be controlling a spaceship to blow up everything you see as you hover around a 3D planet. And screenshot-wise, it’s a dead ringer for both mentioned games.
Unfortunately, Super Stardust HD doesn’t seem to have any confirmation for a U.S. release, and even until now, it seems as if it’s only going to become a Europe-only release. But if the popularity of Blast Factor and Geometry Wars is any indication… here’s to hoping that it gets a worldwide release.
