I really want to see more gameplay. It looks like it has the shm'up nature of Housemarque's previous games with a taste of Dark Souls-like exploration. A lot of cool ideas going around here.

Housemarque's Returnal: Game Info and Screenshots
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
Thanks! I can't understand how I've missed this expression. I've really enjoyed their previous games, so this as something more AAA than earlier, will be really interesting. Such a shame that it missed launch.
I love the boxart!
Slightly off topic but, got to say, the name is awful but it's also pretty much the only game name that I remember from those shows that wasn't a AAA game. So maybe it's good?
Kind of like the way Kojima gives his characters terrible but very memorable names. I can name everyone in Death Stranding now Even thought I haven't played it in almost a year, but couldn't name most of the character in 13 Sentinels ,which I played last night.

"Roguelike" 😩
Interest gone from 10 to 2 in a flash. Disappointing for me sadly. Love Housemarque though hence the 2 and not a 0.

Yeah the quick cuts hurt it. Being able to actually look at a screenshot and absorb the information presented has changed mind.
But that first trailer was real bad. Though the game itself looks pretty damn cool!
Do we know this won't be 60fps? At what point did we find out Demon's Souls was 60fps?
Bluepoint moved away from arcade style games after their first game. They are a bigger more experienced AAA team.
Jumping on the bandwagon: From 'Arcade is Dead' to AAA — Housemarque
A year ago, we announced that “arcade is dead”, at least for Housemarque, ending our long-standing commitment to creating arcade inspired games. Many thought that surely the studio must be in peril and that we’d be closing our doors soon, however this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Instead of s

looks interesting, maybe people will drop the roguelike prejudices

Surprised that people are disappointed that it's a Roguelite game. Since it was first announced that's been the bit that's excited me the most. Being able to enjoy that classic Housemarque gameplay but having a different playthrough each time sounds fantastic to me.

As it's Housemarque I wouldn't be surprised to see it ending up having a co-op mode that just skips over the narrative segments.
I don't believe they have released any info about target frame rates or performance modes yet. So not sure how you can make that comparison.
Here's hoping that it's really good, as Housemarque has quite the history. Too bad there's no release date.
No problem. I should also clarify that rogue-like used to mean absolutely no progress carries over, while rogue-lite meant some does. But recently the terms have been used so interchangeably and strict rogue likes have become so rare that often people don't bother to clarify the difference.
I'm not into roguelikes but I love third person shooting and it looks like there's an interesting narrative to propel you through the game, so I'm very interested. Looks great too.
The main character in the trailer actually describes the roguelike loop. She talks about how she keeps reliving her first moments on the planet ("the crash, the attack, my death"). And then about being in and endless cycle where each time she awakes the planet is different. The boxart even illustrates it, notice the rows of helmets behind her
PlayStation Studios?
This and Demon's Souls are just my favorite reveal of PS5 first-party games so far. I expect some extended look of gameplay soon.
Feels like this game could become a sleeper hit if everything turns out fine.
They know about fantastic gameplay and high replaybility. Now in third person and having bigger budget. Also giving me Vanquish vibes too.
Wonder if it will also have more of a narrative/lore focus, like Hades for example. Would be pretty cool if done right.
