"Soon" etc.

Brilliant game, really hope they're going to continue supporting the game with more levels in the future!

No voice chat is about as retarded decision as can get.

Is it though? What about if they'd only let you use one stick? Or if the zombies sang nursery rhymes? Or if your character was in fact an octopus?

Can think of many more retarded decisions than simply no voice chat.

I think the game is great mindless fun no voice chat is a bummer but as long as it comes its ok btw I'm hype that this game has a platinum trophy

Yea I was taken a bit by suprise with the Platinum, the intro and graphics. They really went all out on this game.

Hopefully this will pave the way for future PSN games it'd be more incentive to buy the games

I am still undecided.

Housemarque is very apologetic in that blog post. It's tough to understand how something like voice chat in a co-op game would be overlooked, but remember that originally this game didn't have online co-op at all. It was only confirmed about a month or two ago. Having said that, their last game was Super Stardust HD in 2007, over 3 years ago. The game seems polished enough for a 3 year cycle, even though I have horrendous lag when I play online(but that's because of my shitty connection here at school). Housemarque is a great developer and I have faith that they'll rectify this situation.

I'll probably get it seeing as I liked Super Stardust HD.

Those...actually sound amusing. Retarded, possibly yes, but amusing. Creepy nursery rhymes and the ablitiy to shoot ink at zombies? Sure thing.

It wasn't just you. I had connection issues with several different people, and after messaging a few others that have it, seems they did as well. But yes...the game is polished and enterataining.

I have Dead Nation, so if anyone fancies a co-op game then feel free to add me on PSN - ADPolicenaut.

Done. (I haven't actually added you yet, just sayin)


I've been trying to find someone to co-op with since it came out.

I have to say that so far I am impressed with Dead Nation, even though I can see it getting repetitive at some point. It's pretty much how Left 4 Dead would be if it was a top down shooter, which is definitely a good thing. Much better than previous zombie offering on the PlayStation Store, e.g. Zombie Apocalypse, Burn Zombie Burn, etc.

It's also nice to see Housemarque having an interest in what people want and responding to criticisms, as opposed to ignoring them. Always good to support the smaller developers.
