SaysWho? Posted June 12, 2020 Author Posted June 12, 2020 'Returnal' for PS5 is Housemarque's most ambitious game yet Quote The studio has taken the wraps off of Returnal, a third-person shooter for the PS5 that’s decidedly more ambitious than titles like Resogun. At first blush, it’s an Edge of Tomorrow-inspired thriller that has you desperately trying to break a cycle where you crash, die in an attack, and somehow come back to life. You can expect strange enemies, a test of your sanity, and lots of projectiles. Quote
DPCyric Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 I was a bit saddened when they announced indie games weren't working out for them and they would pivot to larger titles... However this just looks like a really high budget indie game from them! This is in my top 5 games of the show and I'm happy to see them still doing arcadey stuff. Quote
Bloodporne Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 Yeah this looks fucking cool. I'm in. Also...maybe I'm totally delusional but does the main character look like and sound like Jane Lynch? Quote

This looks like a bullet hell arcadey AA/AAA game. Sony really seems to like Housemarque. They have trouble on the independent scene, but I'd love if they had Sony's resources under that umbrella. They'd be able to do so much, including their smaller, less expensive works. Quote

I'm surprised Sony hasn't bought them out yet - Housemarque makes Playstation exclusives like 85% of the time. Quote
Dre801 Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Not crazy about the title, but the game looks intriguing. Quote

JPDunks4 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted this in the PS5 thread, but figured to reshare here. Currently loving Hades has me very interested in trying other Roguelikes, new and old. This game was one that interested me initially, and now this gameplay mechanic has me even more interested. I was mentioning to @Mercury33recently how I hoped we would get a AAA effort at this style of game, and while I don't know enough about Returnal to know if it'll be what 'm looking for, definitely has me very hyped for it.

eventide11 Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Meh. Looks pretty derivative. Didn't use the popping eyes open look of surprise enough times. Quote

Bloodporne Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 I keep thinking the main protag is the actress that played Brienne on Game Of Thrones. Her face really reminds me of her. And the game keeps looking really cool and I'm psyched to play whatever the hell this is. The gameplay looks great. 1 Quote
Rodimus Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 You know it is Housemarque when you see the gunplay. I really like this developer looking forward to this ambitious game. Quote
legend Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Something about this reminds of Lost Planet Quote
Bloodporne Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I rarely ever say this but I'm actually really curious about this game's story and to find out what happens. It's such an appealing package overall, everything about it looks cool and intriguing. Quote
Mr.Vic20 Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I am all about this one! Looks great and I have faith in Housemarque! Quote
Greatoneshere Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 I still pop into Resogun from time to time. I have faith in this game. Quote
vaxick Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Very curious to see what a big budget game will be like from this studio. I have a lot of hope in this game as this studio has pretty much always delivered something memorable. Quote
