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...

NGP Likely to be Delayed Into 2012

[UPDATED] - There is a now a report in the Tokyo press that this isn't the case, so perhaps we will see NGP in 2011, either way it just looks silly when branches of the same company contradict each other. Hard to say what the exact meaning of the Japanese message is... any guesses?

Well, it doesn't really come as a surprise, a tenuous hint at a western release in 2011 was all we ever got and that was before the devastation that hit Japan. So, it looks like we'll be seeing the handheld god of gaming this time next year, according to Sony's Jack Tretton.

Its only fair that Japan gets it first, being as bonkers as they are for the PSP (best selling console of any type in 2010). Whereas I was happy to import a PSP, don't think it'll be happening this time due to all the location-based services and infrastructure being very different.

What that will give is developers a few months longer to polish their games and come up with some new tricks and polish for the rear-panel and NGP's other features. Talking of 2012, Sony has big plans which will be revealed at e3. Until then, expect a developer to leak news of any delays within the next week or so.

To tide us over, I wonder if there will be a further price cut on the PSP, or perhaps the Go will actually gets its price drop done properly.
