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.

Arkham Origins Blackgate brings Batman to the Vita

We've long deserved a gritty portable Batman game, beside the Lego offerings. The Lynx version being the one that sticks in the mind. So there's great news from Gotham City with Batman Arkham Origins announced for current consoles and Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate for 3DS and Vita.




Both games will lead off the holiday season, arriving on October 25th with Warner Brothers Montreal handling developer duties for the main game with Blackgate developed by Texas-based Armature Studio. They worked on the Metal gear HD Vita versions and are staffed by some of the Metroid Prime team More news to come very soon I guess.



Game Informer says "Blackgate is a completely separate experience that takes place after the events of Arkham Origins. Armature Studio is developing the 2.5-D Metroid-style exploration action game. Industry followers will recognize Armature Studio as the company founded by several of the leads from the Metroid Prime trilogy." Armature was also developing a Mega Man reboot, which has since been canned by Capcom. 

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
