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.

Snail Games to challenge the Vita and 3DS with the W3D

Since Sony likely won't innovate in portable gaming anymore, who else will take up the baton? Snail Games is making waves at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas with a range of new hardware, not bad for what was a games company startup from China. The company has an Android Micro Console, the OBox on the way, but of more interest is the W and W3D (they're clearly not all that great at naming things) gaming smartphones. (see a hands-on video over at TabTech)


Android-based, the W3D pulls a 3DS like three-dimensional trick on any Android game using eye-tracking and some clever software, powered by octa-core MTK6595 running at 2.2GHZ. It has twin sticks, a four way controller and four face buttons, plus four should buttons. That's all wrapped around a 5.5" full HD display.

It looks a bit simplistic in design, and makes the cardinal sin of putting the speakers on the back, but if the grunt is there, with a regularly updated interface, decent media and other apps (you know, everything the Vita lacks) then it could just attract some interest from gamers.
