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. It changes on every death, where a total eclipse changes everything (very Pitch Black!). The video shows the first biome, hopefully the others shift up the palette more than Returnal did.  Along his journey he finds Nitya Chandran (Shunori Ramanthan), adding some depth to the Returnal-mayhem.

Sony event on January 30 likely to reveal PS Vita slim launch?

An invite is going out around the proper press for a Sony event next week, proclaiming, "Following the biggest launch in PlayStation history, join us for an introduction to the slimmest." That's likely to mean the new brightly-coloured Vita 2000 models are getting a western launch, perhaps along with Vita TV.



If Sony wants to make any impact with the Vita then a £99-£119 price point is essential. It will also need to announce a truck load of western big-name games at this event (beyond fake announcements like Bioshock). Failure to do so, and the Vita will trundle along as normal that even Sony is too embarrassed to share with the world. An proper release date for Borderlands would be good but everyone knows the Vita needs a GTA or (proper) CoD title to get moving over here.

A release date is likely to be at the end of Feb to match the original launch date (22nd Feb 2012). Perhaps Vita TV might follow on later, but Sony seriously needs to get the likes of Netflix, Lovefilm, Now TV and other apps on-board if it wants to sell any of them.

Are you happy with your OLED Vita or would a new LCD model be a neat addition? More importantly, how much would you pay? Please comment!
