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.

Great Edo Blacksmith site opens up its forge

The official website has gone live for Nippon Ichi's Great Edo Blacksmith. And all it has to show for all that patient waiting is a logo, until next week. At least we've seen the lovely ladies, and we've found out about the basics of the game through those mag scans.

Guess the magazines articles have to have their exclusivity first, which seems rather quaint. Still, if you want something to do right now, Bandai Namco's Godzilla site has also gone live today (only for PS3, but hey, its Godzilla). Also update is NIS's own True God Fashion site, an update of a PSP horror game coming in August.


Hopefully someone will tell NIS that there's no capital S in 'BlackSmith', but as long as we get a compelling role-player out of it, I'm not really that worried. Will the lady-bothering elements (its a good job my Twitter following is 92% male) put you off? Guess they'll be toned down for any western release, as with Criminal Girls.
