That's just a reality of the game industry: When not enough money is coming in, tough decisions have to be made, and Alienation's poor performance had consequences. The day after I arrived in Helsinki, I sat outside the studio while four employees were let go. Timing may have had something to do with that: The game was released almost equidistantly between Dark Souls III and Uncharted 4, drowning out any positive press for Housemarque. Released earlier this year, it garnered positive reviews from press and fans, but few actually bought it.
#Resogun high score Ps4
After a PS4 port for Dead Nation and PS3 and Vita versions of Resogun came a new game: Alienation, a kind of spiritual sequel to Dead Nation. Housemarque has yet to repeat that success. "Resogun" was the highest-rated PS4 exclusive for 16 months. That's 16 months at the top of Metacritic - impressive for a studio with just a few dozen employees. It remained the console's highest-rated exclusive until the release of Bloodborne in March 2015. Sony clearly knew as much: It made Resogun free to all members of its PlayStation Plus subscription service, and as a result the game was downloaded by millions of PlayStation 4 owners.
With cylindrical stages and a custom voxel-based engine, the game was by far the strongest PlayStation 4 exclusive of its time, and one of scant few highlights of the console's November 2013 launch. Resogun took the basic premise behind the arcade classic Defender and turned it into a modern shooter. You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
