Actually didnt like the look of the trailer. I was hoping for a more simple arcade game like Resogun. Face was uncanny valley freaky aswell.

The name is very dumb and I love it.

Game looks awesome, as well. Definitely a highlight of the showcase.

This'll probably be PS5's Resogun at launch.

It's really going to show of the SSD with how fast you can restart after death with like a blip loading screen.



This.. is pure action tho
Didn't look like that but I mean I wanted side scrolling or top down, old school Housemarque awesomeness

This is one of about half a dozen games that are firmly on my radar screen. Looking forward to seeing more.

Housemarque is the name selling the game. Returnal is the name not selling the game.

The game itself looks cool, I seriously dig a narrative justification for roguelikes. And you know it'll play godly from Housemarque.

Is that name supposed to be a play on the word eternal?

And it looked really cool until the shooting started. But I'll be following this as the environments looked great.

Had a bit of Control vibe from this game, so that's a plus in my book.

according to Housemarque, arcade is dead so this here seems fitting and i wouldn´t expect old style Housemarque games anymore. and Matterfall was awful, good that they are trying something else which is not this Battle Royale game.

there was a split second in the footage where a bullet hell like shooting pattern emerged from an enemy, there is definitely Housemarque DNA in this game.

Only a studio as silly as Platinum and a series as dumb as MGS can get away with a name like Revengeance

One of the worst game titles I've ever seen, lol. Maybe the game will be good though.

This might be one of the worst names for a video game I've heard in a while. Overall...mmm not sure on this to be honest

Game looks pretty great, and I love the name.

Only new IP they showed that I remember the name so they're doing something right.

I don't know how to feel about this one. Gameplay looks like it could be good because it's Housemarque. Hate the name though.

Absolutely horrendous name, but the game looks interesting. Will definitely be checking this one out.

Looked cool but the trailer already made me fear that it's a roguelike and that's confirmed now :(

Roguelike sucks in most cases. But it's Housemarque so I will buy anyway. I just hope it's not too hard/frustrating and there is a steady sense of progress.

Oh, it's a roguelike sidescroller? Boo. Less interested now. I thought it would be a third-person shooter from the gameplay shots it seemed to show. I'll still wait to see more of course because Housemarque are always reliable, but I thought this was going to be a full 'AAA' game from them.

Is it me or did a few reveals not even give us a year?

Yeah, that was annoying. I assumed this would be a launch title, but with no year given I guess not.

Would prefer Edge of Tomorrow

awkward name tbh

Edge of Returnal?

This game is so up my alley, the visuals, the audio, it looks amazing.
Gameplay looked ok but not the reason why I want to play it.
That name is something else, I feel dirty just by thinking about it and dare not say it out loud.

Death loop and this basically groundhog day/edge of tomorrow shenanigan.

At least death loop has great art direction.

What? Did you watch it? It's not a sidescroller.
