[Men_in_Boxes]

Will definitely be better than Returnal.

Solid sequel here.

 

[WoodyStare]

Day one.

 

[envyzeal]

Day one, looking good as a perfect sequel

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Looks amazing

 

[Matsuchezz]

returnal is fucking awesome. this is more of the same great gameplay. i have to revisit that game lbecause it's so good.

 

[NeverYouMind]

So, is it rogueshite round deux or a linear kind of game?

edit - Nevermind. It is the former.

 

[Luipadre]

Everyone knew this is gonna be Returnal 2 and it really is. Day 1 ofc

 

[Represent.]

will watch in 4k after the show, i dont know why they debut trailers in blurry ass quality on the live stream

 

[Kerotan]

I'll play this when it gets a PS6 update and if save scumming works.

 

[skit_data]

Looks exactly what I wanted it to be.

I strongly suspect Housemarque will be the first party developer that I most strongly associate with the PS5 era in a couple of years.

 

[SpokkX]

This looks amazing. Returnal is the best PS Studios game imo

Will get this on PC down the line for sure

 

[CastorSoze]

When I first saw the guy at the start, I thought it was somehow an Order 1886 sequel.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Happy Birthday to me! Day one

 

[RoadHazard]

Literally just Returnal 2. And I'm fine with that! That game was so much better than it looked at first glance, this one will be too.

 

[tTHANOSs]

Day 1

 

[Shubh_C63]

Will wait for PC by Year 3. Excited how they are pushing the story.

 

[yogaflame]

Excellent

 

[TrebleShot]

This looked really good to me wasnt a fan of returnal this looked alot more weighty

 

[Zathalus]

If this builds on what they did in Returnal, then we are looking at another banger of a game.

 

[kazuyamishima]

Day 1 with collectors, physical, digital, digital deluxe and if they release a special dualsense too.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I had not seen anything about the design/gameplay so I thought it was going to be a new game/unrelated to Returnal.
Just did a PC playthrough last week with the DLC stuff I missed on PS.

Don't know how I feel about the same approach to the art design.

Spoiler

Based on playing through Returnal a few times, personally, I just thought all stuff that took place on Atrophos was in her head/her own personal hell.

Weird to see some similar themes if that was truly the case.

Will play it to see how they explain the connections (if any exists).

 

[Judge Magister]

The only good SoP news.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Going head to head with Crimson Desert.

 

[Aenima]

Not for me, i hated returnal rogue-like mechanics, but the shooting gameplay felt fenomenal. I expect the same for this one, but im not droping any money for a game that makes me feel all my progress was lost after a gameover. Good stuff for rogue-like lovers though.

 

[mèx]

Returnal was excellent, and this one seems to be Returnal 2 basically. Pretty solid showing, it's gonna be good.

 

[LectureMaster]

Well, it looks like a really safe sequel. Folks loving Returnal will love it, myself included, but I doubt it would reach a broader audience.

 

[Physiognomonics]

Yep. It's Returnal 2. Looks awesome but as a roguelite it's unfortunately not for me.

The last words of the trailer are "Come back stronger". This should have been called Returnal 2.

I'll never understand Housemarque about the fact that they never re-use their own IP. Very strange.

 

[DragoonKain]

Really wish I could've enjoyed Returnal because I liked how it felt, but I just hate Roguelikes. I tried it multiple times, it's not for me. I'll see how this looks as we get closer to March.

 

[shenmue mugen]

Day one.

 

[[Sigma]]

Gonna need to dust off them reflexes!

 

[Holammer]

Looks like they borrowed the absorb mechanic from God know how many shmups? Not a fan, but it looks like Returnal with a fresh coat of paint & tech.
The story is probably a metaphor for mental illness like in Returnal, with a Hindu/Buddhist look.

 

[Markio128]

Easy day 1. I haven't played many third person shooters with better gameplay than Returnal, and Saros could be even better.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

As the resident Returnal stan, I'm both delighted and kind of not that into some changes. First, I really dislike the MC and his outfit, it just does nothing for me and Selene Vassos was a fantastic character. Even the simple VA elements like pain sounds and all were very expressive. This dude is hyper generic to me.

Nitpick but the HUD is lame.

Biggest one for me is that the art direction and music shifted from the atmospheric as fuck Giger/Beksinski inspiration and incredible synth score to what reminds me slightly more of Nu Doom in some aspects?

Gameplay will be HM orgasm central no doubt but I was surprisingly not that into some of the changes. Day 1 of course but was expecting to fucking love the trailer.

 

[JusticeForAll]

This is basically Returnal 2. While I adored that game, I was hoping it would be something more.

Still, as another poster rightly stated, those will be the games I will probably associate the ps5 with in the future.

And Cronos. I loved that game. Play it.

 

[Arsic]

Honestly had 0 hype for this but I'm interested now.

 

[Dacvak]

This is gonna be an awesome birthday present to myself

 

[yogaflame]

The boss looks impressive. Great particle effects and lighting.

 

[yurinka]

GOTY, day one

 

[Hohenheim]

Returnal 2 in all but name. Perfect!
Day 1 for sure, and then day 1 again when lt launches on PC at some point.

 

[MacReady13]

Looked good. Only thing that really interests me 1st party from Sony.

 

[salva]

Gives me Doom 2016 3rd person mod vibes

edit: not a bad thing

 

[Brigandier]

Biggest one for me is that the art direction and music shifted from the atmospheric as fuck Giger/Beksinski inspiration and incredible synth score to what reminds me slightly more of Nu Doom in some aspects?

Yeah man the atmosphere and music in Returnal was so good But I'm also digging Saros sound too!!!

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

Was hoping for a bit more innovation/evolution, but early days yet. Worst case scenario it's just more Returnal, and that not a bad thing.

 

[GrayDock]

Day 1.
I just thope they work more on the story and how they tell it.

 

[lh032]

i wish for better rewards.

Returnal lacks rewards imo, like really useful rewards.
I hope there are some really good permanent upgrades

 

[The Cockatrice]

Looks like a reskinned improved Returnal which isn't necesarily bad, but also not something I'll bite for 80 euros or whatever its price will be. Will get it on sale.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Will be interesting to see how this and Ghost of Yotei do on the market. Likely similar budgets to the previous games but releasing under very different conditions.

i wish for better rewards.

Returnal lacks rewards imo, like really useful rewards.
I hope there are some really good permanent upgrades

I would bet large amounts of money this was one of, if not THE core design focuses for Soros.

 

[MALpractice311]

Returnal is one of my top three games this generation and this looks like a worthy spiritual sequel.

 

[Elbereth]

Day Freaking One....
