Upcoming Stardust HD update includes trophies, 5.1 orchestral soundtrack

by Andrew Yoon { Apr 30th 2008 at 9:45PM }

The guys at Housemarque have just finished their next Super Stardust HD expansion. The "solo pack" will be followed by the "team pack," which features a number of additions. Ilari Kuittinen, co-founder Housemarque, explained to MTV Multiplayer: "It features a split screen Versus Match and Co-Op, ship editor, a true 5.1 orchestral soundtrack, and trophies."

We're already excited for these new additions, but what we're even more intrigued by are the upcoming additions the Housemarque team is looking into. "We have 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." A Mizuguchi-inspired version of Stardust sounds like it would be a blast.

are the trophies home related?

Devin @ May 1st 2008 11:54AM

yeah, really... what are these trophies you speak of Andrew?

this was the first thing i picked up on too. if they are adding in trophies, which we know are supposed to be home-related, what does that mean? my guess is that the home beta will be updated with trophies, not that the uncouth masses (like myself) will get home anytime soon.

i love this game. really deep, tough as hell. i havent plunked down for the expansion yet though. as others said, the idea of spending more on this game is not super-appealing, unless they add some really awesome content. so my purchase decision is still a maybe.

Split Screen Versus would be the shiznit. My wife always wants to do co-op and she sucks so this way we can still play and I can still own her.

Hey! I don't appreciate you using my name! Lol, just kidding.

I really want online co-op...

whoa. Ship editor. my gosh. that's awesome!

WOW this update is going to be great. The last update was great also. Great to see this sudden interest in updating such a great title. The only bad thing is that if they keep updating the game little by little we'll be expending a lot of money on the game. Although this game certainly deserves it...but I'm a cheap bastard!! lol

I'm really looking forward to a ship editor similar to what you could do in Kingdom Hearts.

I'd really like to see some new powerups for this game. Dual Gold melters maybe?.. I dunno. I'm still grinding through the retail version before i touch the add-ons.

The coop mode in SSDHD is so awful given the camera limitations it makes. This needs to overcome it :\

Daniel @ May 1st 2008 1:38AM

I really need to buy this...still playing on the demo LOL

Kokomadeta @ May 1st 2008 3:54AM

LOL. I thought this was about Stardust the movie and I was like, what? I own it on HD DVD!

Patrick @ May 1st 2008 9:47AM

koehler83 @ May 1st 2008 6:32AM

Oh boy trophies! Those will be awesome in my HOM... uh.. I'm sure the orchestral score will be cool...

Alex @ May 1st 2008 11:48AM

This shit better be free or dirt cheap. I just dropped a bunch of money on an update to the game that was barely a month old!!

They better stop trying to nickel and dime everyone to death on this game!!

Aircraftkiller @ May 3rd 2008 8:09PM

Don't be an idiot. The original game was $7.99 and the expansion was $4.99. That's 12.98. Another expansion at $4.99 would keep the whole game below $19.99

They're not nickel and diming anyone, and this game hasn't been out for a month. It's been out since summer of 2007.
