Dead Nation gets voice chat and other features next week

On Monday, Housemarque will push out a patch for Dead Nation on PlayStation Network. It’ll provide some much-needed functionality, like voice chat for online cooperative play, checkpoint saving, and the ability to copy save files.

At least in the case of the voice chat, the studio wanted to have it in the game at launch, but didn’t have the necessary time for such implementation to occur. Housemarque also suggests “even further surprises” in its PlayStation Blog post.

I found Dead Nation to be flawed, but still enjoyable in the way that zombie shooting usually tends to be.
