The PC version will have an unskippable screen every time you launch it:
"Please buy the sequel Return 2 Returnal, launching exclusively on PS5!***
***Also in development for PC"
I tried playing Returnal on Steam Deck streaming from the PS5 via Chiaki and I was surprised how difficult I found playing it without the adaptive triggers, kept on accidently using alt-fire because the Steam Deck triggers didn't give any resistance (obviously). I wonder how they'd mitigate that for a PC version using the same control scheme.
EDIT: Ah, just read there's an alternate control scheme. Still don't know if I can live without the controller going "bawbb" when running through the things that sometimes drop parasites but it's cool that the DualSense isn't absolutely needed.

It's good that there are also alternatives, but PC games can support all of the DualSense features and it can be used with Steam Deck.
Returnal Eternal!
No but seriously, I'm playing this right now and it feels like it would be a really good fit for PC. I also can't wait to see the silly and fun mods some people put into the game!
How long before people mod her face to be generic hot girl i wonder lol
Have Housemarque ever made a sequel? Don't think so .
Also, hope this means we'll get a show soon where this and other games get formally announced.

Returnal Eternal is a perfect name for the eventual PS6 remaster lol
Lol. A couple of days, probably? TBH Selene being an older lady with a lot of experience is something I like most about it.
I must admit though if they mod her to be Kat from Gravity Rush or something like that I would find it pretty funny.
I can't wait for the rest of the PC or for people to test this out on one of the playstation tiers, Still has not left my PS5 since I got it last year such an amazing fun game to dip into and even more with the tower, a stretch but a cross play update would be the *chefs kiss* icing on the cake!
You're right, I was thinking of only the Steam Deck in portable mode. Good that PC players get the full experience with the right controller, adds more to the game than you'd think when you don't have the DS features any more.
As someone who has noted numerous times since the PS5 was announced that any IO shortcomings on PC can be, with some finesse, worked around by storing more data in RAM, as even the slowest of DDR3 -- a technology that was superseded an entire console generation ago -- offers roughly 6.5GBps of bandwidth, I just want to thank you for this post.
Preparing assets in RAM means the CPU handles decompression, which is slower and inefficient than doing it on the GPU. The DirectStorage API should resolve this once it supports GPU decompression. Not that I think Returnal makes a particularly compelling use case for it, but probably something like Rift Apart (and maybe Forspoken?).
I dont own a ps5 so no idea what the dualsense experience is and I hope they port it good, but KB+M seems the best option to play a shooter on pc, I think?
As I said, it requires finesse. Naturally, you can't just dump everything into RAM and hope the engine doesn't buckle.
Digital Foundry actually did a video where they run A Rift Apart on the slowest consumer SSD (exponentially slower than 6.5GBps), and it's a perfectly playable experience, with the performance impact being "single-frame stuff".
Thing is this game used the Dualsense trigger perfectly when shooting, as has multiple fire modes depending on how much pressure you press them. Without them, you have to use an alt fire button, which is fine, but not as "intended".
The PC port will be fine.
I see! Sounds cool, hope they add the feature to the port as I was thinking of buying a Dualsense since my DS4 is kicking the bucket
So when this happens (because it's real), I'll make sure to tag you
did you miss sony progressively putting all their games on PC or did you just emerge from a coma.
A bit late there https://www.resetera.com/threads/ru...lang-support-added-today.587621/post-90560592
Only that it was "this year".
Nothing jumping out in the past 30 days
Very true, and I also don't think Rift Apart comes close to utilizing the internal drive's peak throughput. Decompression is an important part of the process, however. Regardless, this is largely irrelevant for Returnal, as I don't think it would meaningfully benefit from DirectStorage.
FWIW, it stutters on PS5 during area loads, and it's pretty noticeable most of the time. Would really like to see this improved on PC.
