What's with the door?

 

[MDSLKTR]

90$ CAD... I'd rather spend that kind of money on R&C or RE8 than a rogue game.

 

[OrtizTwelve]

This looks like a 30 game, not 70. I'll wait for the sale.

I was about to say this. Looks like a game that would launch digitally only, and it looks barebones. $30 seems about right.

I'm not saying it looks bad -- it just doesn't look like a fleshed out experience.

 

[El Sueño]

It looks great and It'll be awesome. Mark my words.

 

[acm2000]

Is this full price? Looks like a typical PC indie game but with flashier graphics.

 

[namekuseijin]

I like what I see. Feels very much like what a modern mature take on Metroid would be if it was not in the hands of Nintendo. The environments look great and large enough to house complex level design that was the hallmark of the series, but that is about to be seen.

not caring for PS5 right now, but this is definitely on my wishlist if they can pull it off.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? These are the EXCLSUIVES of the PS5! These have to be WORSHIPED no MATTER WHAT these are the GAMES that NOBODY ELSE has!

Just like Godfall this looks like another pile of wasted money for paying for exclusivity.

This wasn't paid for exclusivity you monkey

 

[ozz ex machina]

I can't think of a game coming out I am less interested in. Looks very boring.

 

[Dr_Salt]

Funny thing is housemarque said "housemarque arcade was dead" because Nex machina sales were bad when this will probably bomb even worse.

 

[Ten_Fold]

Gameplay looks safe and boring.

 

[Leyasu]

That doesn't look too great in all honesty

 

[Deleted member 471617]

I love Housemarque and Returnal looks exactly like the type of shooter I would buy and play day one but it being a rogue like game eliminated that. Would have preferred it to be a straight forward game and that's it. Oh well. Hopefully one day, I'll get the DinoNation game that I want.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

ACTION MOM

She needs her own theme song, like Psycho Dad, from Married w/ Children.

 

[iHaunter]

Idk I was hyped for this game but the more I see the more it looks like it's going to bomb now... Looks very repetitive and blend.

As opposed to other shooters????

Not a fan of the visuals. Every gun seems to go overly sci-fi on the effects. Let me just have a shotgun to blow these aliens into gibs or a heavy LMG to lay down fire, not sparkle up the entire screen with special effects.

It's literally an overly-scifi game...

 

[Pallas]

Looks alright, I like the theme and Cthulhu/Lovecraft atmosphere elements, not really sold on the main character and the combat looks a bit iffy. Enemy designs look great though.

 

[GustavoLT]

Lost Planet

 

[Guilty_AI]

Don't think it'll bomb, but i don't know if sony'll be happy with the results either.

 

[bxrz]

Will this review good is the question

 

[Roufianos]

Looks great but I'm still baffled how and why this is £70.

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

Looks like sh*t, wanted to give it a chance even with the Karen protag but the more I see...nope.

 

[rofif]

Looks like nex machine. That is patterns of bullets

 

[stitch1]

I said this on another thread. But this game looks like a great Gamepass type of game. Interesting enough to want to try it. But there's no way I am paying $70 for it.

 

[R6Rider]

Looks fun, but I probably won't buy at launch. I have Monster Hunter a week later I'll be getting.

 

[Keihart]

Check at 1:24. That looks close to you?

"when aiming" i do wonder what it's that about, you can see how it zooms in and out.
I kinda dig the bullet hell concept, kinda wish it had better animations tho, looks way stiffer than Vanquish and that it's really old now.

 

[Bankai]

So the framerate seems to be everywhere betwen 60 and 10. Or is this a yt Problem?

Not a problem at all, just use VRR

 

[Northeastmonk]

My biggest fear is being underwhelmed by the world and its secrets. Something like discovering a ruin or artifact sounds cooler than actually doing it. The combat could be promising. The melee combat looked meh. How many enemies are we talking about? Was the tentacle monster the only major enemy we are going to see? There has to be more bulk to it than shooting a bunch of random enemies that block your path.

When I first saw the reveal trailer it had me think of being lost in space. The parasite thing seems ok, but I feel like they are just unloading all this stuff all at once. It looks cool. In terms of science fiction, maybe it’ll have some mix of 2001 Space Odyssey or Prometheus. Im kinda thinking Progmata has more potential of delivering the narrative, science fiction explorative type of experience.

I’m sure it could be great, but seeing them explain everything is like “here is my gun, here is a ruin, here is a parasite, and now I’m still exploring”. I’m not trying to judge it all because there has to be much more to this rogue like experience. I feel like the discoveries in this world are going to go by quick and fast.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Dead Space + Brienne of Tarth as protagonist = this game

 

[ikbalCO]

I dont understand why people dont like fun games but this game looks really fun.

Frame rate is really rough on some scenes though

 

[CatLady]

This will flop just like Godfall did.

For some reason this game reminds me of Godfall, maybe it's the overdone bright-shiny combat effects. I do think overall it looks a more interesting than Godfall. I can't stand the nonbinary main character's looks or bad VA, but I'm a sucker for anything SciFi.

 

[.Pennywise]

Oh so this is a Rogue-like.

Bummer.

 

[Nezzeroth]

The environments is what I find lacking. It looks almost the same throughout the entire trailer, which is not good.

Haha you are DAM right sir. I aprove this message.

 

[FrankWza]

What then? I'm confident in my ability to detect dirty jokes

It’s not dirty...it’s grimy

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Dam Karen going through hell just to talk to the manager.

 

[kretos]

Looks great, hope they fix fps before release

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

People worried about the frame rate...in a Housemarque game...2 months before release?

 

[Gaelyon]

I'm interested, i like Housemarque games, but not at that price.

 

[RNG]

Nice framerate brah @

0:41
0:48
1:33

 

[truth411]

The more I see the more I like this Game. Looks Really Fun.

 

[GymWolf]

Not mindblowed but it looks like an acceptable\good game, not sure if 80 euros price tag is the right one tho...

Like other people said, it looks like a prettier risk of rain 2, i didn't liked that one very much tbh. (i know a lot of people love it tho)

 

[Guilty_AI]

Considering they've only made low cost games until now, you should be very worried

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Womaaan, everytin' gonna be irie.

 

[e&e]

This will flop just like Godfall did.

How badly did that do?

 

[EverydayBeast]

As great as it looks the game can’t be trusted after Cyberpunk’s release fail.

 

[THEAP99]

Needs to be locked 60fps or else this'll be Sony's first first party blunder of the ps5 generation and likely possibly be the end of Housemarque sadly.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Gameplay concept is much more simple so i don't think it would.
But don't buy games on release either way.

 

[mckmas8808]

It will be. NO DOUBT!

 

[Sleepwalker]

Idk chief, doesn't seem particularly great for me, specially if it's going to be $70. Will grab it on PS plus in a year or 2.

 

[DispatchNinja]

Looks amazing. Just pre-ordered. Happy to throw $70 to Housemarque.
