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.

Vita gets an RPG-inspired boost in Japan

Two new Vita games nestle neatly in the middle of the Japanese Media Create charts this week, bringing a neat little boost to the hardware sales figures, up to 11,000. The PSP continues its merry way, selling 15,000 with three news games in the chart led by the new Kamen Rider.

09./00. [PSV] Fate/Stay Night -Realta Nua- (Kadokawa Shoten) (¥6.300) - 30.583 / NEW 
10./00. [PSV] Atelier Totori Plus: The Alchemist of Arland 2 (Gust) (¥6.090) - 27.651 / NEW 
11./00. [PSP] Kamen Rider: Ultra Climax Heroes (Bandai Namco) (¥6.280) - 20.739 / NEW


Click the links for videos on these games, chances of a western release, probably slim. I guess that's it for big Vita games this year in Japan, aside from Call of Duty and the AKB1/149 love sim in a couple of weeks. The look ahead to 2013 starts here. Stein's Gate, Demon Gaze and PSO2 (which is also free) are the only ones that really grab. 

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
