SuperStardust HD devs planning split-screen multiplayer update
Our affection for SuperStardust HD just got a shot in the arm with news that Finnish dev Housemarque is putting the finishing touches on a multiplayer-focused update to the twin-stick PSN shooter. Following the already available "solo" add-on, this new "team pack" update will introduce several additions, from split-screen versus and co-op modes, to a skill balancer, ship editor, trophies, and a "true" 5.1 orchestral soundtrack.
MTV's Stephen Totilo recently grilled Housemarque co-founder Ilari Kuittinen on the update, who commented that "a majority" of the development time spent on the update was focused on the new versus mode, which will feature "our 'sub' game modes and plenty of options so each gamer can tune the mode to suite their tastes." Even more interesting, Kuittinen adds that the team has been "experimenting with a game mode we call "Twin gun" mode (not disclosing specifics at the moment, maybe you can guess?) and how to make music generated levels, etc." It sounds like someone has spending a lot of time with Audiosurf, an addiction to which we can certainly relate.

Everyday shooter is sweet, but Blaster factor is HIGHLY overrated in my book.
but I guess opinions are like assholes...

At least with SSHD you can use your own soundtrack.

The game is really good. Yes, it's pretty much like other dual analogs, but the fact that you're basically fighting on the surface of a sphere and enemies can come down from the third dimension makes for a very interesting - and hard - game.
Supports custom soundtracks, too. Pretty sweet.
Can't wait for the update.
