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.

First look at Madden 13 from EA Sports

Sure, this is from the big-screen versions, but given the great job EA did with FIFA, you'd have to hope the Vita version gets all this gloss too. Expect that scary rubber-faced Phil Simms commentator, he can be first for the trash can.

With Calvin Johnson adorning the cover, this update looks to have had a lot of effort put into it, and while motion-blur isn't the first feature I'd be shouting about, the others look like solid additions to the series.




UPDATE: I read somewhere, but can't find the source (found it - IGN), that the Vita version will run on last year's engine with some of this year's tweaks. Hopefully that should be good enough, but the more EA can cram in the better. Also, the Vita and PS3 versions won't share saves, which kind of misses the point of the whole Vita connectivity issues. EA really needs to get on the ball here, as screwing up the first version could irreparably damage its future chances.
