Same. Nobody makes the games like Housemarque. You can FEEL the gameplay flow and ride along with it, incredible feeling with absolute gameplay feedback. Very, very few games are these snappy and fair.

When did we start expecting reboots instead of sequels as the norm?
Uncharted 3 and 4 were that for Uncharted 2. Crash Bandicoot 2 and 3 were that. Jak 3 was that for Jak 2. Dont get me started on every Ratchet game...and i never even heard a single complain from that IP for being "the same" since the PS2 era.

Not all sequels are created equal.
KCD to KCD2 feels like a proper sequel.
Hideo Kojima made a bunch of proper sequels.
Madden 2023 to Madden 2024. Unacceptable!
Zero Dawn to Forbidden West. Unacceptable!
Saros, at this point, looks way too samey. As always, I'd love to be wrong.
None of those games appealed to me. I think Jak 1 to Jak 2 was a legit jump though. Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 2 as well.

Why this sequel was unacceptable? I think It improved from the PS4 release, I could never get into the game until the remaster on PS5. You can swim, dive and fly with a machine. More enemies, the story is good enough for me, conversations are prettier and more engaging, it continues the story from previous game. Characters are varied in personality and the voice acting is good to great. Graphical Fidelity is amazing!
I know this is a Saros thread, so, I wont discuss it further but, I'm just curios.

Some still do. I'm looking forward to this personally. Housemarque usually delivers when it comes to gameplay.
I do believe that some people have conditioned themselves to just hate games in general. They cry about not wanting GAAS from Sony. Sony says fine, here is a brand new single player IP. Then they hate that too. Basically it's not going to matter what Sony releases, single player or multiplayer. They'll find an excuse to hate it.

"We should only care about multi million seller, popular shit!". Do you guys even think before you post?

Few people care about that genre. It's a waste of time and resources.

Few people cared about turn based RPGs and yet we still got COE33.

I love when I stumble upon a game from a genre that I didn't think I cared about, and then it turned out to be an awesome game. Ball x Pit was that game for me this year.

Imma be real with ya'll, Selene is probably my favorite female lead in a game in like a zillion years.
She's a fucked up middle aged bitter bitch. "Ripley, but with a deformed moral compass" comes close, but still doesn't quite get there. And, narratively, her faults aren't cheesily dismissed for external, universally sympathetic reasons--which IMO is very common in the rare case you do encounter a ethically dubious female character in lots of mainstream media.
She is a great, complex character in purely general terms. Which makes her among best women leads in a videogame kinda by default.
Anyway plz no bully Selene.

Selene is a fantastic character and the voice actress especially is fucking great. Selene is like a less emo James Sunderland.
Also, as someone who puts a TON of time inti Returnal's lore, great post that hits the nail on the head imo.

DID YOU JUST ASSUME—
Edit: in seriousness, Returnal is one of my favorite games of this generation and I can't wait for this.

The guy playing him is a cool dude.
I'm very excited for this game. Sunk some serious hours into Returnal. I just hope it isn't too much of the same formula.

Relatively new genre with loads of potential. It's also arguably the most popular indie genre today with a number of 10 million sellers.
Returnal and this just don't look to have wide appeal.

I loved Returnal so I'm eager to see more about this game. Bring it!

Trying to make Returnal 1.5 a tentpole game worthy of drawing crowds to a 4 hour show reeks of desperation and a blank release calendar at Sony. Returnal was barely beyond Bugsnax tier, and enjoyed almost all its sales by virtue of being a 1st party launch window game on a hot new console.
