"Super Stardust Ultra," the fourth game in Housemarque's wonderful series of twin-stick shooters, is due on PS4 come Feb. 11.
It will cost $12.99 and if you are a PlayStation Plus subscriber you will get a 20 percent discount during the first week it is on sale.
Running at a silky smooth 1080p/60fps, this latest entry includes five new stages and nine single-player modes. Some of these are debuting for the first time in this PS4-exclusive.
As detailed on the PlayStation Blog, one of these is Blockade, a mode in which your ship continually drops bombs. This will add a Snake-like challenge to the proceedings as you try to avoid (or boost through) ground you've recently trod, but on the plus side these bombs can be used against foes as well.
There's also an optional Interactive Streaming mode, which sounds super cool to me, where you can allow spectators to influence your playthrough as they vote on whether to send another wave of foes your way or lend you a much needed care package.
"Super Stardust Ultra" will also support up to four-player split-screen multiplayer for both competitive and co-operative play.
