Housemarque is bringing the twin-stick zombie massacre of Dead Nation (http://www.joystiq.com/game/dead-nation) to the PS4, according to Sony Computer Entertainment Asia. The Hong Kong PlayStation Blog lists the top-down shooter in a new Apocalypse Edition for the PS4, and says it'll be part of March's PlayStation Plus' freebies for the region.
Housemarque announced an outsourced Vita port (https://twitter.com/Housemarque/status/344377763970555904) of the PS3 game last year, but this is the first word of it coming to the PS4. Interestingly, Korea's classification board (http://www.grb.or.kr/Statistics/GameStatistics.aspx?gameTitle=dead%20nation) published new Dead Nation ratings today for PS4 and Vita, suggesting the two versions could be released side-by-side. We've reached out to Housemarque to find out what's up.
The PS4 launch saw the Finnish studio bring its intense brand of twin-stick action to the new console with Resogun - a PS Plus game itself - but another offering wouldn't hurt. Well, it would hurt the zombies, but they deserve it. Back in 2010, former Joystiq-er Andrew Yoon shelled out a perfect five stars (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/11/30/dead-nation-review/) toDead Nation, lauding its "suffocatingly dense" swarms of undead and its strategically sound local and online co-op.
