Parker Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Hi PlayStation fans. I’m excited to announce that Super Stardust Ultra is blasting its way onto PS4 in early 2015 for $12.99! For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Super Stardust series, the critically acclaimed Super Stardust HD by talented developer Housemarque was originally released on PS3 in 2007, followed up on PSP and most recently onPS Vita as Super Stardust Delta in 2012. This timeless shoot ‘em up has you pilot a start fighter in the depths of space, defending planets against the onslaught of enemy attacks in the midst of a deadly meteor storm. Your mission is simple: use split second timing and pure arcade skill to make every shot count and destroy everything in your path. Super Stardust Ultra, has an array of new planets, glorious visual enhancements, and includes no less than nine different game modes, including new modes and established favorites from the series and its various add-ons. With the PS4 socially connected features, you can now show the world your skills in the new Interactive Streaming game mode, letting your viewers vote periodically to change up your gameplay as they watch. Because Super Stardust has always been about achieving high scores, we have added the feature that allows you to directly send and receive challenges from your online friends; or you can simply compare your scores across the global leaderboards. If you don’t fancy flying solo, you can also compete against friends in 2-4 player split-screen battles or team up in co-op mode. Super Stardust Ultra has been developed by D3T and XDEV and this latest edition in the Super Stardust series brings the spirit of Stardust to PS4 with new features, new gameplay, incredible depth and variety, and the best graphics possible, making it the most definitive and best version of Stardust ever! Keep checking back for more Super Stardust Ultra news, as we’ll have updates and a release date for you all very soon. Source: PlayStation Blog This is awesome news. I'm a big fan of the Stardust series so it is great to see a game coming to the PS4. Parker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowGandalf Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 So is this a new Stardust game or a remastering of the 2007 game with added features? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuzzieWingman Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Aww yiss. I loved SS Delta, but I never liked Resogun. I need this. I need this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2V89 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I really liked playing this on PS3 and most likely I will get this on PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lilith Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I actually never played Super Stardust on PS3, so this should be a great opportunity for me. Also I like Asteroids (Atari) a lot, and this kinda seems like a modern Asteroids. Maybe I should try Resogun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oobedoob S Benubi Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Sorry for the thread necromancy... To anybody who owns Super Stardust Ultra: can you tell me what the Super Stardust Ultra VR price is for you on the PSN store? Preferably the EU store. I have not played any of these games but the VR game is supposed to be cheaper if you already own the other game. The VR one is €20 in the store for me and the old one is €13 but the old one is on a "buy two games, get 50% off" sale for the EU now. Just wondering what the total price would be if I would buy Ultra in the sale and then VR without a sale. Already getting Bound in the sale, just looking what other game I should buy along with it.

I own the standard Super Stardust Ultra and the VR one is showing up as £7.99 for me, which would be €9.99 on your store. So if you get the original half price it should end up being cheaper in the end, around €16.50. You could also get the disc version which includes the standard and VR modes? I know that's going for £14 here. Edited October 11, 2016 by dell9300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only seems to be the new game though, it says it has the original stuff "enhanced" for VR but I can find nothing about it actually containing the original game...

I don't know if importing from Amazon UK is an option? With the exchange rates the way they are at the moment it would only be €15 plus whatever postage would be. Hmm well the cover says "PlayStation VR Compatible" so it definitely can be played without VR and that lead me to believe it had the original game included but perhaps I'm mistaken. I didn't think the new VR modes could be played with a DualShock though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance_87 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Oh, i'll probably get this if i ever buy a PS4. Portable was one of my first games on PSP, same with HD on PS3, and Delta was my first Vita purchase, as i already own a truckload of other games from free promotions, cross-buy, and glitches.

I didn't think the new VR modes could be played with a DualShock though? I'm a console gamer in part because I'm lazy :-) I could always wait for a sale on the VR game. It says "compatible" because, even though it's called SSU VR, you should be able to play the game without VR, just like Thumper is compatible. And yes many people fail to realise this but most VR games can be played with your regular old controller. Sony has said at some point that they want the bulk of VR games to be possible with standard controllers and while sitting down. I only started getting interested in VR when I heard that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only started getting interested in VR when I heard that Oh right, take that as a no then. Hmm so the new "VR version" can actually be played without VR and no doubt it'll have a separate trophy list. Interesting. I have no plans in getting VR but if all the trophies on this can be unlocked without one then I could end up getting it. I was sure the VR modes were VR only and the "compatible" part was referring to being able to play the original modes without. I've noticed most of the VR games say "PlayStation VR Required" on the cover though, this was one of the few that doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we won't know for sure until someone buys it and reports here There are already a couple of "compatible" titles but SSU might be the only one with a disc release there's Bound, Thumper, the Tomb Raider DLC...

diskdocx Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Apparently the VR portion is called Invasion Zone, and is a DLC trophy list added to the original game. This is not a new standalone version. Cannot be played without a VR headset, so if you own this game and want a 100% title, you've just purchased $500 of DLC.

Actually, the new First Person portion of the game IS playable without the headset. It is "VR compatible", not "VR required".Combined with what dell9300 and I were talking about, this should indeed mean that the disc version contains everything. What to do, what to do... P.S. can you list your source please? I can't find this "DLC trophy list" anywhere... Edited October 12, 2016 by BillyHorrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakebit10 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 So there is trophies I'll never be able to get because I have no intentions to ever buy a VR. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oobedoob S Benubi Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I've seen a person or two who is getting VR claim to also get SSU VR. Going to ask them to check if it can be played without VR. Personally I'm getting VR anyway so I don't care but I think it's valuable information for others.
