Nex Machina PC Announcement

We are very excited to announce that Nex Machina will be coming to PC!

This is our first PC game launch since Supreme Snowboarding in 1999 (Outland is on Steam, but was ported 3 years after the console release) so it has been a long time coming.

"It's amazing and humbling to be able to get back to our roots in PC development, where we started almost 22 years ago", said Ilari Kuittinen, CEO of Housemarque.

Officially there is no date to announce yet, but our aim is to get Nex Machina out during the summer on PC and PS4. As twin-sticks go, the game will be controller focused, but we are also fine-tuning a mouse and keyboard control scheme as we speak.

"Working on the PC build has come with its own set of challenges, but our friends at Nvidia have helped us realize that Housemarque magic on the PC as well", said Mikael Haveri, Head of Publishing.

Get ready for more Nex Machina related news in the days and weeks before launch. There is still quite a bit that we haven't yet announced and a few question marks still remain.

Until next time, enjoy the "PC announcement trailer" that features a brand new level of Nex Machina, and add it to your wishlist on Steam.

Veteran arcade game designer Eugene Jarvis is a creative consultant on the project.

Housemarque are also considering creating a Nex Machina arcade cabinet with Jarvis' company Raw Thrills.

It looks flashy, but not very good. Garish color selection, for one thing. And it looks too fast and "slidey", for lack of a better term, to feel like a proper shooter with human beings involved.

Releases June 20th for PC and PS4. Supposed to have local co-op.

This is out now on Steam and 30% off at €13,99 until July 5: http://store.steampowered.com/app/404540/Nex_Machina/

However, it has no online co-op, only offline, which is ridiculous for a game of this type from this developer in 2017. If there is online co-op on PS4, I will buy it there, otherwise I will wait until it's added. If it's never added, fuck them. It doesn't look that great anyway.

Ended up buying it anyway. It crashes past the logo screens for me. I'll wait for a patch.

The 30% off by the way is if you own Outland on Steam, if you don't it's 20% I think.

My "review" is currently the only one up on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/icycalm/re ... ed/404540/

I bought the game as soon as Steam emailed me it was out.
