Returnal (Housemarque) [PS5, PC]

[London Geezer]

I’m still unsure about this game. The actual premise sounds a lot more interesting than the trailer we saw, which is super weird.

I am all for studios branching out and doing what they need/want. But I am sad I am not getting any more arcade shooters from Finland.

Release 19th march 2021, trailer is 4k 60 fps. It looks like an arcade game in 3D.

I don't know if I dig the story line but combat mechanics look great.

Looks like Control.

Brain overload. Those action sequences show a whole lot happening and blowing up on screen. I think I like it? Not sure.

Gameplay looks like a sped up version of Remnant: From the Ashes. Not a bad thing.

This kind of makes me want to play control and Quantum Break

On PStore there is an housecast video with some new gameplay. Someone took the gameplay part to streamable

It looks... Different. Also, Ellen DeGeneres. Weird.

It's a AAA cinematic third person arcade shoot em up. Is that a first?

Is that a first?

Probably also the last.

Visually reminds me of a low budget UE4 PC game. Doesn't look bad, but not particularly good either.

How can that be a PS5 exclusive? Was it intended to be a cross-gen game too somewhere? If its a PS5 exclusive all-in, their not harnassing even close to its potentional there.

good luck with selling this for 80 euro in Europe

Probably ends up a free game for PS+ owners, like destruction allstars.

Well they are targeting 4K 60fps using unreal engine so I doubt they can graphically do better than this. And they are showing things running on PS5. But My main concern is more the type of game they are doing. Nobody wanted this. There are enough of those games on PS5 already.

They should have done Resogun 2.

They were selling less and less games on the arcade genre and Housemarque could not continue on this path, it was not profitable and it would have bankrupt Housemarque at the end. This is just the first AAA games on a new engine for the team, I don't expect them to do a game looking as good as the coalition.

If the game is good, Sony will probably buy the studio and they will grow little by little. Shuhei Yoshida love the gameplay of the game and he is fan of action game maybe the game will play very well.
