Time to brush off Dead Nation

Some very cheery news on the undead, as posted on the Dead NationFacebook page:

Voice Chat and More New Features - Monday, March 7th.

The news is out - the patch provides players worldwide with not only online Co-op Voice Chat, but also Checkpoint saves, the ability to copy saves, and some further surprises for all the Dead Nation players out there!


For those that don't know Dead Nation, it's a truly superb PSN title, it has Robotron mechanics, superb lighting effects (if Resident Evil/Silent Hill rendered lighting this well you'd actually soil your pants) - the two big problems were the hour between save points (due to some strange desire to protect the level multiplier) and the lack of voice chat in the online co-op mode... and they've just gone and patched both issues to oblivion. Score!

Reakt - this is what we were waiting for, you ready to put a night aside to send the wife off to the little TV so we can do this thing?
