Report – Dead Nation to be announced in Cologne
Eurogamer.de has just put online it’s GamesCom schedule, but there’s nothing special in it, right? Actually, there could be.
According to the article, there will be a game announced in Cologne this week, which is known as Dead Nation. This is a game which no-one has heard of as of present, so it has to be revealed tomorrow.
Right now, we know it’s name and we also know it’s a PSP game. Anyways, we should hopefully know more with SCEE’s presser taking place tomorrow night.

Edited.
It’s actually called Dead Nation and it’s a PSP title.
Pat phoned about 20 minutes ago, just as I came in from a message, to tell me what happened. Was shitting a brick if I am honest
Anyways, its edited anyways.
On Pat’s behalf, and for myself, I do apologise for this colossal fuck-up.

What fuck up?
You said it was for a Sony platform, you were right.

But I assumed it was a PS3 title, not a PSP game. (although I didnt know that at the time, to be fair to myself).
But even then, I dont know what happened. Just Pat phoned me, told me what it was and I made the edit.
Simple as.

Well yeah, so no apology required.
I just didn’t understand why you were shitting a brick, just becuase of that. You didn’t specify any platform, when I read.

So where did Pat learn it was a PSP game? Abit odd if SCEE are giving out spoilers like that.

By the sounds of it the EG.de guys have actually walked around the show already, so it probably is a PSP game.

You guys should see the Dead Nation trailer on PSN. It’s a PS3 PSN game by Housemarque.

There is a vid on the PSN Store – it’s defo PS3 PSN title. Looks like top down zombie shooter. L4D meets Loaded kinda.

Pft – just update the article with a big “I was right, Pat was wrong!” banner. Or would that be career limiting?

Joystiq have run a news story on this, and included the trailer (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/18/dead-nation-new-ps3-exclusive-from-super-stardust-devs/), looks all shades of awesome to me.
