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.

Latest Media Create and Famitsu data from Japan

Two weeks ago, Vita had its worst ever sales at 1,973 in Japan. Then at TGS, Sony announced an end to Vita production sometime in 2019. Fair to say the two events are probably related. Last week's figures from Media Create show sales pinging back up to 2,718, but aside from people stocking up spare consoles, this is a one way ride.


What was once a stellar seller for the Vita, Steins Gate Elite only just creeps into to the top 20, selling 3,700, while the PS4 and Switch versions are in the top 5, selling 13K each. That's as clear a sign as anyone needs that the Vita's time in the sun is almost over. Famitsu's review pages are crammed with Switch titles, and anything that once brought delight to Vita owners now on PS4/Switch/PC pretty much exclusively. 

Tick, tock, all we can do is wonder if PS5 will have a portable/hybrid element, as I don't have the time or energy to fight my way in front of the big TV.

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
