@Souls Eater Which is something to be praised for sure! I remember reading in an article, that Sony supports their studios with whatever they need to create the game they want, IF they truly believe in it. Same with the new direction of God of War or Horizon ZD. They support you fully, but you better deliver or you become an outcast like Ready at Dawn studios. Which I think is fair, since Sony is taking huge financial risk, letting them go creatively wild.

Only reason they labeled this AAA is because they want to justify $70 price tag. Wait one month and buy in summer sale for $40

It's funny the way beksinski's visual universe seeped into multiple high profile projects in the last few years (the medium, scorn obviously alongside Giger). The first example I can think of is Destiny, where his paintings were mentioned as a reference in a GDC talk. So I'm wondering: was he famous beforehand, his designs being implemented only as they become technically viable, or was he rediscovered and shared around by art directors through GDC talks and the like?

Whoever decided that sprint should be that speed deserves a raise, movement speed allows so much better combat flow and a higher skill ceiling. No hitscan enemies and death's feel firm but fair. I didn't expect the psychological and cosmic horror to get to me but boy, after the third biome and it's boss i was genuinely creeped out and concerned not just for Selene's sanity going forward, but my own.

It really does look fantastic. The leap Housemarque have made with this game cannot be overstated: it is such phenomenal worldbuilding and atmosphere, the kind of rich extraneous lore-y stuff that wasn't there with Nex Machina or Resogun, brilliant as those games were. The use of ambient sound effects, incorporating the music as precise sound cues(crucial in a game like this, where you really need to have a sense of where threats are coming from), is brilliant and the whole place feels alien in a way that few games, few works in any medium, manage to convey. On their first try Housemarque have created a world that is atmospherically and tonally not that far off Fromware's best stuff. In the same way that Bloodborne captured Lovecraftian horror in a way that no other medium has ever managed, Returnal does the same with alien sci-fi. The first Alien, and that shot of the space jockey; that's the kind of feeling this game gives you as you play(as well as Prometheus, massively so, at least the good bits of that film, minimal as they were - there are a whole host of influences tbh, and they're mostly very good, like Existenz, Arrival, Annihilation, etc). It is alien, in the true sense of that word. It made me think that videogames can convey the sense of an alien world in a way no other medium can: because you, the observer/reader, can't die while reading a book or watching a movie. There's no possibility of genuine loss...but there is in a game, especially twitch action games, most especially of all in a roguelike, where one death sends you back to the beginning of the loop. It's that kind of sense of constant danger and threat that makes an already alien world feel so much more alien than, say, the ridiculous booby-trapped, anti-plot-armoured planet in Alien Covenant. That place - in a stupid, nonsensical way - killed the stars of the film. But this place kills _you,_ and does so according to a set of very consistent if initially mysterious rules. This game rules basically.

I'm really loving it so far!! Very addictive

I think those little sphere particles are actually flat planes with a sphere normal map and a circle alpha on each one so they are catching highlights from the lighting. Also the curl noise in Niagara is just so awesome!

Never doubted Housemarque for a moment, glad to soon try out this game today.

Great video once again. DF, could please leave the option to activate the Closed Captions? For me as a non-english speaker, sometimes it's really hard to understand what you guys are saying.

Love the vid and this game! One thing I’m curious about that I’m sure anyone has talked about is how difficult is it to develop around the haptics/adaptive triggers and actually implement those features in games. I’m curious how resource heavy those features are in the development process cuz I think that will shape how often they are used

You guys told me exactly what I wanted to hear! Best channel ever! For now

The game is so cool. Amazing sounds and visuals. Feels great to play too. Very smooth and polished gameplay.

Since the patches that have dropped, has performance improved? Personally I seem to experience far less frame drops than I did at launch, but that’s anecdotal and I haven’t heard anyone else say the same or seen any post patch performance analysis 🧐

Excellent job contacting developers and clarifying things for us. For most of us that would be out of reach. Lets support Housemarque team buying this game. thank you.

I got this game and trust me it looks incredible on my LG oled, 4k or not. It really is gorgeous! Great video guys cheers & godblee 😁🙏👊💯👍

It is really good! I was hesitant because I usually don't get on with rogue likes but the gameplay is super fluid and addictive. Couple that with the awesome art direction and particle effects and I couldn't help but love it 😁 It's difficult though... Very difficult. But rewarding in a similar way to the Souls games.

They made one hell of a game. This is a Indy studio and they made an awesome game and sacrificed a bit of res or smoother frame rate. They have so much stuff going on at any given time. They did great.

I don't think the save system is bad for this type of game, but if you compare it to something like Hades, which is the most popular roguelike game recently, Hades lets you quit after every room and come back to it later, which is very convenient. I think allowing people not to lose all their progress when they need to leave in an emergency or when power goes down is more important than whatever other reasons drove them to design the save system the way they did. I've already got Returnal downloaded and will dig into it later today so I don't mind the save system, but I can totally understand where people are coming from.

I’ve been playing this for the past few days and I really gotta say man this game is so dam good! For me it feels like Metroid Prime 2 + Axium verge

and here I thought this one would be one of those games that will never get released. Props to them for pulling through.

It's great how we get great exclusives early on the gen, I wonder in 2-3 years what games will look like
