It looks fantastic and I hope Housemarque takes the roguelike element seriously with a huge amount of synergies and the potential to totally break the game. Hades for example felt way too restrictive. Im also a little disappointed that it looks arena based and not a hugly expansive open world, judging from the mini-map.

If the following picture is of the main character, like I hope it is, I suspect we will get some crazy progression, gameplay and story wise.

Awfully expensive though.

Also, not at all sold on this being a $70 roguelike yet.

Just wait until the price drops. Its not like the game is going to run away.

For sure. I will get it, since I have every Housemarque game. Most of them are pretty awesome.

I just would like to get it sooner rather than later, since there's not a ton to play on PS5. But so far, I just need to see more to justify the pricetag, since I'm not big on roguelikes.

What death stranding should of been but was sponsored by UPS.

Am I the only one who thinks the main character looks like Brienne of Tarth?

No, she looks like my boss at work. The most god awful character design I have seen in a game. Instead of having our own custom characters which would have suited this game, they went ahead and chose the most Karen look woman I have ever seen.

I think they're going for Aliens / Prometheus vibes. I'm not a fan of the design, but it's kind of a nod to past sci-fi movies I think.

This looks a lot better than I remember. I'm liking the fast pace of it.

 

[iHaunter]

Looks really good. Wasn't a huge fan of the name, but it looks awesome!

 

[Blue Spring]

Im kinda worried that its almost a little too fast to play on a controller for aiming.
Doom Eternal is much better with keyboard and mouse but I guess Returnal being third person the movement controls will be a lot better and compensate for the aiming.

 

[puffzor]

Between this and kena i dont know if i can hold out til horizon to cop a ps5

 

[wachie]

This game looks like it could be the surprise of 2021.

 

[Zeeed]

I kind of wish Destiny 2 game play was like this:
-3rd person view
-Able to dodge as many times as you want(instead of it being tide to a class and a power)
-Fast movements/jump

I'll be keeping this game on my radar.

 

[PlayerPurple]

Looks really cool. But I hope they have gyro aiming if they want it to play that fast. At least as an option.

This is a fantastic point.

Gyro aim, when done well, can be far more accurate than sticks, and a hardcore-focused dev like Housemarque is a fantastic choice for showcasing this.

 

[Knitted Knight]

So far we've seen the desert/rocky mountain like setting and the alien ruins setting. Wondering what else on the palette they're saving for us.

 

[Alan Silvestro]

Third person resogun... I'm ok with this.

 

[xviper]

Sony's Recore

 

[Agnostic2020]

Third person resogun... I'm ok with this.

Yea this is the vibe I get . High quality third person resogun. Particle effects explosion haha

 

[Sw0pDiller]

oh man this look sweet! it's like dead space and super stardust had a baby! Please make the gameplay smooth as butter and cod/destiny-like

...Day one... (if i had a ps5)

 

[I'm nobody]

Sci-fi demon souls lol

This is why I love Sony
This game is something different
Not like ms same gears of war same halo same fable after 20 plus years

New stuff like this all the time

Dreams has been by far the best approach to new stuff at the moment and should not be avoided
I really wish it would come to pc

 

[Inviusx]

Not feeling this one.

 

[xiskza]

Looks gorgeous and fun. Love Housemarque. Not sure how I feel about a full priced rogue-like though. The name as well...

I wish they'd put out a 4k/60 Alienation PS5 patch.

Apparently the working name was "Dark Planet"

 

[Orpheum]

Yeah i want to support those guys so i'll be getting it day one. gameplay looks really fun.

The framerate seems better than in the Game Awards trailer but they still need to polish it up a little. however i'm sure they'll get it done until release

 

[MoneySings]

Looking good... but new IP = possibility of it being poor on release. I was burnt with Anthem. I was burnt with Godfall. Burnt with Cyberpunk 2077 - won't be burnt again.

 

[eyesabitdull]

They need to drop a demo.

They just cant drop a game at $70 and expect to make great sales without being a household name.

A demo would clear any doubts to those who have never played a Housemarque game.

In fact, I think it would sell better if they did, and the demo compromises a great way to demonstrate the strength in their gameplay.

[e&e]

Seems cool! If good, I hope it finds success, even with that name...
