Just announced for release on PlayStation 4 later this year, Livelock is a co-op, top-down shooter that features a heck of a lot of robots. The premise is interesting enough: in the 22nd Century, mankind is no more, and mechanical marauders wage a seemingly endless war across the Earth. Unsurprisingly, you'll take control of one of the title's three playable characters and put as many 'bots to the slaughter as you can.
Described as a challenging title that puts you up against overwhelming odds, it's clear from the game's first trailer that this is going to be a chaotic time for everyone involved. We're liking the looks of this one then, but can we ditch the dubstep, please? Oh, and while we're at it, the next person to say "360 no scope" like it holds any kind of comedic value can go ahead and get in the scrapheap.

Kinda cheesy.. but I like it. Looks fun!
@LieutenantFatman Yeah ignore the foul smelling cheese and it looks like it could be pretty fun.
However, if the next revealed character trailer comes out and it's a meme-spouting android I'm deleting the game from our database.
@ShogunRok lol, fair enough
Hate games with that over view game play!!
I saw this and immediately thought "I bet this is another top down shooter".
Yep. It is. JUST MAKE A DECENT THIRD PERSON MECH GAME. LIKE METAL GEAR RISING BUT WITH MECHS. AAAARRRGH.
That and Dubstep? Really? How's things in 2009?
@ShogunRok you mad bro?
Makes me want my Binary Domain sequel. Though a little more Vanquish gameplay, a little less talking. Twin stick shooters haven't been my thing since Bruce Willis was voicing them.
@rjejr I'm absolute seething, already burst several blood vessels just thinking about robots and memes.
Twin stick shooter?...mech nation??hope for the devs sake isnt coming out around the same time as alien nation(which is a must buy for me) and i buy this mech one too, looks fun
@teknium_ True, can't see this having anything on Alienation, that will be in a whole different league I would guess. But then House Marque are amazing.
@ShogunRok The middle of the trailer it says - replace Dubstep with soft rock access denied on the green screen monitor. Its taking the mick out of itself. The next character will be serious, or hate vex you wait.
@themcnoisy No excuses!
It looks like a Helldivers clone, with extremely clumsy character animations... I'll stick with the Arrowhead's masterpiece, still one of the best exclusives on ps4 so far
