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. The stunning environment Arjun explores is that of a lost ancient civilization fueled by the twisted enlightenment of the eclipse.  Saros lands in March 2026, check out the PlayStation blog post for more details on w...

What Sony can learn (very quickly) from the MS E3 show

Just a few things...

1) Don't bang on about exclusive content on multi-platform games, you come across as needy and whiny. If I hear, "we at Sony are proud to have one bit of DLC faster than someone else" more than once, I will be cross.

2) Games with gung-ho soldiers, more bloody dragons, shiny-armored knights, weedy mages and sports cars are now over-exposed. People want to see new and different things. We want kangaroos kicking cheerleaders in the face, giant space otters eating whole moons, where killing a no-name-guard in a shooter, demonstrates the pain and loss to his family, etc.

3) Treat your core IPs with respect. Here's old Halo tarted up, but you can turn that shit off at the touch of a button, really isn't the way to sell something as loved as Master Chief (I might buy an Xbox One just for Halo 5, but not at the rate Microsoft are dragging this out). If Sony wants to reimagine the whole Resistance series, do it religiously with fans in mind, not some marketing gimp with a million big boxes in a warehouse to shift.

4) Apologise for your screw-ups, don't gloss over them and promise you're doing things for the fans! Say the word "Sorry" and try to mean it. We can accept you're all billion dollar corporations trying to make a buck, just say "sorry" properly and get on with it.
