Dead Nation Road of Devastation DLC Coming, Said to Contain Zombies

Sure, that Dead Island game is hot stuff right now. But it's only one island. Dead Nation, on the other hand, is a friggin' country. It plays a bit differently too, being a super-slick twin-stick shooter from the creators of Superstardust HD. What’s more, tons of Playstation 3 owners have the game as it was one of the free games in Sony’s Welcome Back program. What better way to monetize all those free copies than by selling everyone DLC? Hence developer Housemarque has announced an upcoming DLC pack, “Road of Devastation.”

Dead Nation Gets Online Voice Chat, New Developer Diary Video

The multi-award winning Dead Nation just got a little better.  A new patch is scheduled to go live Monday, March 7th that enables online voice chat.  We gave the zombie twin stick shooter a 4 out of 5 for our Co-Op Review for the high production values and persistent upgrade system.  We balked a little at the high difficulty level of the game.  Finnish Developer Housemarque addresses this issue in the new patch with checkpoint saves.  They also promise "even further surprises for all the Dead Nation players out there!"

Dead Nation Is Dead Silent, Voice Patch Coming Soon

You know what tends to be fairly difficult? Playing co-op online without voice chat capabilities. Without a general Playstation chat capability, Dead Nation is having that very issue - for now. It sounds like the developer was having a bit of trouble getting things perfect for launch, so a sacrifice was made in order to deliver the amazing experience that we've found in Dead Nation.

Dead Nation Launches Tomorrow, Discounted for PlayStation Plus Subscribers, New Videos

Dead Nation has been on our radar for awhile now.  From the game's announcement over a year ago, to the premiere trailer at E3, this top-down co-op zombie shooter looks fantastic.  When we heard that the expected two player local co-op was being upgraded to feature online play, we had to talk to the game's developer to find out what inspired the change.  Housemarque CEO, Ilari Kuittinen, gave Co-Optimus an interview explaining the decisions that went into adding online co-op support.  Ilari's comments got us even more excited about the coming zombie apocalypse.

Dead Nation Preview, Not Your Average Zombie Game

Joystiq has taken an in-depth look at the newest zombie game, Dead Nation - but they want to make sure we don't confuse it for just another zombie title. Since there are so many co-op zombie titles on the market now (Dead Rising 2, Left 4 Dead, Burn Zombie Burn, Zombie Apocalypse, etc), Dead Nation had to make sure they did things a little different to make sure they stood out. According to the preview we've checked out, it sounds like Housemarque has mixed all of the elements we love in zombie games and made a truly amazing downloadable title.
