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...

The Vita Monster Hunter Rumour heard around the world

This translated piece of Japanese could put some major joy in the hearts of Vita gamers everywhere, or it could be the usual mix of plain wrong, mistake, misunderstanding or other cock-up.
"When Monster Hunter 4 3DS was postponed, it was because Capcom apparently began to explore the simultaneous release of the PSVita version, not because of the need to improve quality" - Source

UPDATE: As expected this glimmer of hope has been pretty much squashed by a Capcom bod. The only upside is, I figured okay, time to order a 3DS Monster Hunter bundle.... no such thing, which kind of makes you wonder what all the excitement is over?

The merits of it are being blown across the web, but as I've mentioned several times, Capcom said in 2008 that going forward, all its major titles will be multiformat. Timed exclusivity deals aside, MH is a big deal so there is a little hope, but I'm still betting on the side of this being some sort of wild ass guess.

The biggest hole here is that Capcom would surely have announced a Vita version by now, unless Sony has coughed up a hell of a lot of money to both Capcom and Nintendo to alter whatever deal they have. Read more on Kotaku, NeoGAF, hell - pretty much everywhere.

And, even if it does arrive in Japan, it won't have much an effect on western sales. Are we sticking around for a Grand Theft Auto game or Killzone Mercenary (now the top searched for title on this blog) to get the Vita rolling here?
