Returnal announced (Housemarque, PS5)
- Thread starter Forerunner
- Start date
My earlier question about what makes a $70 game are really more for the gatekeepers claiming to know what the threshold is for everyone else, not our own personal thresholds. I wasn't disputing any one person's individual criteria for determining value at a given cost. In fact, that's part of issue I have with the blanket "that's not a $70 game" claim.
It's frustrating really, this same sentiment was there when games were 60 as well. It's led to games being bloated with filler content and more open world stuff because people won't buy 10 hour games anymore, definitely not at full price. It really seems like you have to make a certain type of game or else people will immediately think it shouldn't be full price.
I know but so far their games weren't as expensive.
Everything else I could just buy for a bit of fun. €80 price tag is quite different for me.
The director mentioned that it's a psychological horror story in the news Housecast video that you can watch on the PS5.
There will be surely a SoP covering this game , plenty of time till release.
I think it's safe to say it'll get a State of Play early next year
Unlocked and it has fps problems based on the footage we saw. Hope they can get it to a solid 60 by launch
Why not? It will likely play great, the narrative looks intruiging and it will have more replay value than your average AAA game.
So, I've heard from others that Explore hasn't launched in all Regions yet. I'm in the US, and it's simply there in the main UI when you turn in your PS5. The UI defaults to highlighting it with Store to the left and your game tiles to the right if it.
For me, it's a literal game changer as I can get game news, updates, videos, and dev logs automatically in the PS5 Home Screen. They just pop up as soon as devs publish them to the service.
For instance, last night I was watching Netflix, hit the PS button to go Home, and a new Returnal video is waiting for me to watch. I'm not sure Sony has done a great job explaining the feature yet, but it's literally changed how I follow and interact with PS5 game news. I think it's secretly one of their best enhancements to the UI.
You also have to make sure you're following the game. You automatically follow any game that you own. So, if you own Cyberpunk then you'll see updates in Explore for it. But for unreleased games like Returnal you need to manually follow them by going into the store.
This game was barely on my radar but after watching that new gameplay I think this might be a Day 1 for me.
Looks tremendous.

For those interested in seeing the new gameplay, it doesn't look like episode 2 of HouseCast is on Youtube yet.
Just click on the game on the PS Store and then press down on the d pad til you find it.
Enjoy!

Bloodborne had From Software behind it and became a million seller in a month or so in the US.
I'm not seeing Returnal doing the same while being more expensive but we'll see.
We'll find out soon enough. I don't know I mean they make great games, just haven't play a full triple A title from them.
Bloodborne is the greatest video game of all time so not sure if Returnal can get to that level.
But the fact that Sony has placed it in the same TV ads as Horizon 2 and Ratchet means they have a LOT of confidence in the game.

I mean, I guess, but that can describe tons of games so weird to specifically tie it to that one
Game looks interesting but i really think it looks a little weird visually.
the Laser bullets doesn't look to reflect on the floor and the environments looks a bit soulless and a little to simple in my opinio.
I don't know, I will certainly will play but visually it's looking very bland to me.

I'm susceptible to these kinds of statements, so that's pretty hype. I trust they will foot the landing as far as gameplay is concerned but the story is where I hope they especially impress because that desolate alien world drips with atmosphere and is begging to be explored and secrets uncovered, and those cinematic ambitions I want to see played out.
It's a roguelike with procedurally generated environments which will never look as good as handcrafted levels and Housemarque isn't operating on the same budget as Sony's powerhouses. That said, the effects and enemy designs look superb I think. As does the actual gunplay and mobility. The cinematics and narrative moments in the footage look really polished as well.
Also, like Radogol I know a bit more about the narrative and it's indeed pretty damn ambitious and intruiging. And no, I can't talk about it. :)
Dark Planet seems a little generic. Returnal isn't the best name but it's better lol.
As a fan of the BlazBlue series I like names that sound goofy but actually mean something
The gameplay on the new housecast episode looks freaking amazing and refreshing. I have no idea how that weapon that shoots laser points works, but looks original and interesting. The enemies designs are also really cool, I loved the one that is dropping green goo all over the floor.
