Holy crap, just played my first game on veteran and its a whole different game. Haven been mucking around on rookie (and failing to beat boss 3, for shame) but veteran...wow. Got creamed at just under 10mil.
This game tho - like SSHD I can see myself going back to it for as long a I own the PS4. Either that or my eyes will stop working.

I got the platinum for this a little over a week ago. It seems some people are having a little trouble with the 1CC trophy. Something interesting happened with this.
I was playing co-op with a friend trying to get this trophy. He lost all his lives in the second level. Of course, he respawned in the next level. I made it all the way through to the end without losing all of my lives. I got the trophy, and although my friend lost all his lives (twice, actually) he still got the trophy as well.

Losing the multiplier sucks big time. More time. I need more time!!!
Btw I got to the last level with 5 lives and was sure the 1CC trophy was in the bag but of course I lost all five lives and just turned it off for tonight. Sure enough I'll be back at it tomorrow night

That tip about storing all the humans underneath a rescue beam instead of actually rescuing them is pretty crazy. I just tried it out for the first time on Rookie last night just to see what it's like. I lost a human, didn't keep the multiplier at max the whole level, and still ended up with a 48th place high score at the end.

My brother and I are loving Resogun, I've beaten the worlds on rookie but not in arcade yet.
Even World 4 on Rookie has shit all over the place. I can't imagine the hardest difficulty.
Its so much fun, but my eyes. My beautiful eyes.
My brother as the better score on Experienced, but I have the "save 2 humans in 1 second" trophy so I'm claiming victory right now

Well damn, I thought it looked good in gifs but they really don't what happens on screen any justice at all. The explosions, the smoothness of gameplay, everything is just sublime.
Only had a 20 minute session as I'm pretty busy, but goddamn it was incredible. Already feeling the itch to play it again.

That was awesome getting to watch the whole run like that. When you were in the 4th level and you set off your bomb to keep your multiplier, but it was just a moment too late, I yelled NOOOOOOOOO haha
Loving this game. I was having fun initially, but struggling to make progress.
Just now I had two failed attempts at the 1CC trophy (I lost all my lives on the 5th stage). Then on the 3rd attempt, everything clicked into place and I finished the game solo with 4 spare lives.
Next up, Veteran difficulty!

I freaking love this game.I finally got the platinum for it tonight. Phobos is by far my favorite ship, but I ended up using Nemesis for my last two trophies (1cc and the 15x trophies). The boost recharge rate is a lifesaver and the homing bullets are great for maintaining the multiplier. It just takes so damn long to kill the stronger enemies and bosses.
I thought I was screwed on the 1cc trophy because I only had one life left for Mefitis. I made a dumb mistake less than 30 seconds into the stage and was down to 0 lives. I must have entered a state of Zen at that point because I rescued both of the extra life humans and didn't die at all until the boss, who killed me once right near the end.

I watched that entire video. Incredible job! I don't know that I'll ever get to that level. Those revenge bombs are ridiculous.
Just watching that video - nice to see I'm on the right track in most areas, but it's obvious you know the routine much better than I do (being in the right place as soon as the keepers/humans appear for example).
Is hero mode not available from the menu, only when you finish master (so you always have to do master > hero)?

Is there a way to know what human is being released and possibly under attack, seems hard to get all the way around the 'map' to check in time. I figure it's the one with the flashing box, but I hung around one like that and then a human elsewhere died....

I want to like this game but I have no idea how to play it.
When the keepers die a green line shoots to the freed human. Also when one gets free because of a different reason it plays a sound.
Just let him drop and then head toward the line or the arrow from your ship.

What app is this? I was just thinking last night how awesome it would be if Sony released an similar app to Smartglass and it seems they have...

Yep that's the one. It's oretty well done. I like using it as a keyboard for typing PSN messages via the PS4 link up thing

Awesome. Thanks for the replies, will definitely be downloading that when I get the chance. I love these companion apps, checking my achievements/trophies in the fly and setting up stuff to download/play on the console via my phone is pretty damn sweet....

Yeah it's a pretty cool app and does work as second screen too. Allows you to draw images for Playroom and throw them to the screen. Also as mentioned elsewhere it currently offers the best method for getting screenshots from the PS4. Create a dummy account and send the screenshot to it, then go to the app, open up your conversation with the person and click on the image and save out. Less compression than Facebook/Twitter.

Yeah I didn't think I'd use it but I have a lot. What's your PSN mate I'll add you up

Oh sweet, thanks fr the heads up. I was pretty annoyed that I'd have to set up a FB account to share pics, but this will work perfectly instead. Haven't touched Playroom yet, still need to get a PS Camera, which I'll probably do over the weekend or at some point before Christmas.
I don't like posting my ID or GT in public. Seems silly, but after having problems doing so in the past, I figure it's best just not to post it anywhere unless it's done privately...
I'll drop you a PM with my ID later. (or PM/post yours and I'll drop you an invite when I get the chance).

Yeah fair enough. Mines the same as my GAF name
Some of the humans require a minimum multiplier, so if you lose one without a notification it's probably that you were below that. I've trained myself to glance at the human icons whenever a "multiplier up" sounds to see if it's triggered a release.
Just play it, maybe watch a few videos and ask questions in here. The basics are really straightforward.
A friend without a gaf account asked me if I could post her question here:
"Does anyone know how these scores are possible?
https://twitter.com/suzikuh/status/408929131821555712/photo/1/large
That's the first world on Rookie. A somewhat perfect run and saving all the humans till the end got me to #9, how do these guys score three to four times as high? My Overdrives aren't that great, but I doubt that's it."
Can anyone help?

You can only grab one at a time, but you can juggle them if you shoot them right which I did entirely by accident and got the "save 2 humans in 1 second" trophy lol.
My issue seems to be maintaining the multiplier. Too often I'm left with nothing to shoot for too long.

Asking this again, how is it possible to get that many points?

I am starting to think there are Gods of gaming and then there is me, I can't beat experienced on the last level. At best I get to the last boss several times, work him down to his last health bar where he spams shots everywhere and I can't get to him and eventually die.
My best points tally is a pathetic 5 million and I am not improving at all, I think this is one of those games where you are either good at with room to improve or not.
In awe of some of these videos.

Just got the Platinum for this game! First one on the PS4!
I love this game.
Now it's time to try and get in the top thousand on Veteran and then top hundred.
Here's a tip for the last boss. When he starts firing shots everywhere use your boost to go in the little safe zone under him where he is arched. Carry on firing at him. When the arch opens up at the back just use boost again to go back to another arch.
Also I don't know what ship you are using but Nemesis is the best beginner's ship. Lots of boost and homing missiles. When you start to get good you can move your way up to the other 2 ships.

I'm probably very late to this party but just in case anyone is having difficulty with the last stage of the last boss on Mefitis:
If you find yourself being overwhelmed by the fireballs the worm is spewing at you, you can actually overdrive THROUGH the worm and then stop in the gap between the top of the screen and its body that is forming a U shape below. This allows you to get some valuable hits in before you overdrive back out into the open, destroy any fireballs that are there with the blue bubble burst, rinse and repeat until dead.

I literally just wrote that right above you...
Also I think you mean boost not overdrive. Just so no one gets confused.Are you dropping your score multiplier?
I must be...are all humans effected by that or just some? cause its just that one darn human. Last night dude was dead before I even freed the guy before him, i didnt know that was possibe

Got my plat last night... now time to tackle Master mode which I doubt I can pull off right now lol. Didn't have any problems on Veteran till the last level really, but I struggled a lot with that... definitely had to use a bunch of continues there.
I hate those dudes that just go left to right. Once they're upgraded they're lethal.

Damn, when I saw your posts I thought "wtf, I don't remember writing this here!", and then I realized what was happening. Having the same avatar as someone else can be pretty confusing at times
Also, grats to endresults for joining the Cosmic Entities Superclub! I'm working my way through the Veteran ranks currently, as I feel that I still have plenty of room for improvement there. Once I feel happy with that I'll tackle Master and maybe, someday, Hero.
