Saros delivers Returnal 2 in all but name

Housemarque's Returnal remains one of the best PS5 games. Built to kill, raised to die, and fine-tuned to annoy the shit out me while dragging me back in for yet another go at  2AM.  Not-a-sequel Saros ropes in my one of my favourite actors Rahul Kohli into the mix with proper shields, greater weapons freedom, Indian-styled visuals, and borrowing  Xenon 2: Megablast's palette and violence.  Saros is set on Carcosa, a shape-shifting, hostile alien planet.

Sony and Namco's Research Team Developing Vita Ridge Racer

A while back Sega mentioned that its technology development team had come up with such a good idea for a Vita game that they swung it into full production. Now, Sony's equivalent room of ubergeeks, called Cellius, have been playing with the Vita and tasked to come up with the new Ridge Racer game in partnership with Namco.

According to a widely quoted interview:
“Cellius got its start with the Cell processor architecture; the concept was to be an outfit that researched ways to use this technology to create neat things. So it’s not exactly pure research; it’s more about finding ways to expand the things that can be done with the PlayStation family.”

The experiment should get the maximum out of the Vita's various control methods and processing power, while hopefully bringing something new (but not too new) to the world of Ridge Racer. Check out the concept video here, which made us think it was all going a little bit WipEout.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
