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...

Horizon Turbo Chase to sneak under the Vita's chequered flag?

Horizon Turbo Chase is a retro-modern racer from Aquiris that I've loved on my Switch and PS4. The Brazilian developer and Eastasiasoft were talking about a Vita version a couple of years ago, and as part of the Vita's extended farewell physical release tour, it'd be a great fit.

That's if the ancient Vita processors could keep up the fast 60fps pace with all those mid-poly cars and gorgeous backgrounds sliding around. That would take some effort, but it looks like someone has pulled some dev wizardry out of the sorting hat to get it going. 


So, guess our dreams have been answered as a trophy listing has just popped up and this is unlikely to be one of those phantom appearances. Naturally, nothing officially until the press release, but hopefully it will feature the online multiplayer and weekly challenges to keep the longevity going. 

Here's the PS4 trailer to whet appetites until the official news drops, with a sterling 16-bit era soundtrack by composer Barry Leitch. Until then there's always the PSP OutRun and many others to keep us going. 

If its a physical-only release, expect this one to sell out fast. I hope it gets a PSN release too, but not sure what the store status will be whenever this arrives.
