14 DAY TRIAL // Sony has confirmed that all Resogun PS4 owners can now download patch 1.01 for the side-scrolling shooter, which includes not just fixes for bugs and exploits, but also a full-fledged Ship Editor that allows players to create any ship design they want.
Resogun was released alongside the PS4 back in November of last year and it quickly became one of the most popular and most impressive games for the new Sony platform, especially since all PS Plus subscribers got it for free.
Now, after quite some time, developer Housemarque and Sony's XDEV studio have rolled out the first actual patch for the experience, in the form of update 1.01.
The main addition in the new patch is a full-fledged Ship Editor. Through it, players can create their own pixelated ship models and use them in the game, complete with customizable performance stats
"Design your own ship from the ground up using a detailed voxel editor. Position the afterburners and weapons, set your own attributes to govern the ships agility, boost and overdrive, and choose either of the standard weapon sets for your ride. Want a flying DeLorean with the agility of the Nemesis but Ferox’s firepower? Go right ahead," Sony said on its PS blog.
"What’s a ship editor if you can’t show off your custom rides? We went one step further and fully connected the editor online. Share and download ships from your friends, rivals and the community at large, and try out new ships to see what gives you the edge on the leaderboards."
Besides the new ship editor, a set of fresh trophies has also been added through this patch into Resogun, meaning veteran players have new challenges to complete.
Of course, besides these new things, the new Resogun update 1.01 also squashes plenty of different exploits and bugs that have been used by players to attain big scores and other such performances.
In order to make sure that everything starts fresh, the existing leaderboards will be transferred to the Hall of Fame before being reset. As such, all players can now start once again to get the highest scores possible.
After the new update, Resogun will receive its Heroes expansion in the near future, complete with fresh ships, a new local cooperative mode, and much, much more.
You can expect to hear more about Sony's future plans for Resogun in the following weeks. Until then, enjoy the update right now on the PlayStation Network.
