This Returnal PS5 gameplay snippet looks soo damn good and is giving me souls + vanquish vibes. Anyone else feel the same?

The only thing that gives me pause is the rougelike part, like it can look as good as it wants but if I get bored on randomly generated stuff after a couple hours that's it.
Seems like i keep hearing about Meow Wolf lately. Same dude that did Omega Mart
Yeah as I thought I don't feel any Souls from this. Dash iframes aren't exclusive to these games. Nor Vanquish, which gameplay is way different. Maybe Automata, but just for the dash (and maybe the running).
Anyway, it looks good but I'm kinda skeptical actually, about the gameplay. I need to play it and feel how it really plays.

I can only speak to the one in NM but it was a blast. I'm excited to go to the new one in Vegas someday, and there's one close to opening in Denver. They're all going to be separate thematically, so it's worth going to them all.
That clip may have actually unsold me on the game. Gameplay looks great but I'd need a mouse and keyboard for that.
Also seems like Stormdivers eventually became Returnal. Since it's Housemarque I'll probably buy it anyway.

That's a really weird take to me. You could boil every game down to "it,'s just" while in reality that's incredibly dismissive. How many AAA games are there in which a middle-aged female astronaut gets caught-up in a timeloop, dealing with bullets hells, dashing and grapling hooking all over the place, deciphering alien language and getting caught in weird P.T. esque surreal first-person sequences?
I can see what OP means..The fast dashing has hints of Vanquish, even though Returnal seems to have more verticality, and it seems to have original, super agressive enemies and a puzzling non-linear narrative told mostly through lore and environment, like Souls games do.
It looks like a better and less cartoony version of ReCore for the Xbox One honestly, and I am 100% for that honestly. But just the movement and combat really reminds me of that game which is awesome. This'll be one of the first games I get on PS5 assuming it isn't already on PC by the time I get one
This does look good, I think if they weren't asking £70 for it, it would be getting hyped quite a bit
But it does have roguelike elements and randomly generated configurations for rooms.
More like Nex Machina meets Risk of Rain 2, I think? Looks awesome, for sure. By far the most interesting PS5 exclusive to me, at the moment.
It kind of looks like what I hoped Nier Automata would offer in gameplay.
Just not sold on the roguelike part.

The rooms aren't randomly generated. The content of the rooms may be.
Come on... just because some people use it poorly doesn't mean it is here. This is a good comparison, look at it...
It's more like an enemy randomizer, then? What about the progress lost on death, how is it present in this game?
Maybe it's just me, but it looks absolutely nothing like Dark Souls. Different setting, different aesthetics, different gameplay....
I trhink they've done an insanely bad job on selling this game so far. I hope it's great but can't justify getting it Day 1 based on what we've seen so far.
I'm generally not a fan of roguelikes (except Hades), and the only thing I've played from Housemarque before was Resogun. Those things combined with the price tag and the metric shit-ton of games coming in May and June has me on the fence.
They're releasing tons of stuff. What would you have liked to see that they haven't shown?
I think it's like Hades. Handcrafted areas, but there's a bunch of potential scenarios that can unfold.
You keep data logs, certain permanent equipment and you can unlock shortcuts.
I love how fast paced it all looks in the latest, really happy that HM kept to what they do best too, but just at a way higher budget, that's the main vibe I get. Hoping it does great, will get it when I get a PS5, it should then be at a more reasonable price for me too, as not a big roguelike fan, but love HM's Bullet Hells.
I'm so excited for this game but my only concern is the difficulty. I can handle a game being hard if I get to save after overcoming a challenge, and it's like, 'well I don't have to do that again...' but with rouge-likes, you have to redo everything whenever you fail. It's what put me off Hades (which I otherwise loved).
Hades has permanent upgrades though. It becomes significantly easier the more you play. Returnal is probably the same.
Sure; and people would call Hades a roguelike. Denying the roguelike nature of Returnal is a weird pivot, especially when the developers call it exactly that and reference the randomly generated elements in every interview or preview.
I don't know. That's not my job. Just nothing I've seen so far has sold me enough to drop 80 euros day 1 on it, and it does seem like the kind of game on paper that shoudl be right up my alley.
