Make it a smooth 60fps with what I saw, and you have a day one purchase!

Is there any co-op in this? I was just skipping through the video to see gameplay

After Resogun Im day one with any game they release.
Im not normally into roguelike but as long as there is a story and finish line Im all in. Cannot wait for some gameplay awesomeness.
You can see its a House marque game evolved to AAA

I recently played the remaster of Vanquish and enjoyed it very much... this seems like Vanquish but brought to another level, with even more mobility and focus on skill and use of the 3D space.
I hope it all comes together.
The one thing that concerns me is that it's not getting much publicity or attention, it needs a big marketing push to really take off as a new IP.
Also I thought the main character in Vanquish was quite forgettable and even though this character in Returnal kinda reminds me of Ripley from Alien, she still doesn't stand out in the videogame landscape.... she is competing with 2B and Cereza etc.

I'm really tired of roguelikes so probably a pass for me. Not a knock on it, I've just had my fill of the genre and it was never really my cup of tea as someone that doesn't like replaying parts of games. I have fun a while, but struggle to finish as I get so tired of replaying the early parts to get to the later parts where I'm still dying.

Great developer making a new game on great hardware = fuck yes.
Looks really good. Maintain 60 fps and I will be in heaven. Definitely my style of game.

Looking real nice but I still think Sony are crazy asking for $70. I also hope they're not focusing too much on gameplay and allow it to be a balanced cinematic experience.
Doesn't it have co-op? Could've sworn it does. Anyways I'm looking forward to a state of play dedicated to this in the future prior to launch.

I didn’t know that this is pretty much similar to Risk of Rain 2. Digging it, I wish they would show more uninterrupted gameplay.

If you follow Horsemarque you would know they are all about gameplay. And this looks like they are trying to combine the 2 elements that you like, but focus more on the gameplay. Looks stunning.

Is this their first like "real game" that isn't arcade-like? I'm surprised there's not more noise around this project yet since they're doing something totally new for them

Well why do you think Sony has been promoting it since June? This is their first big AA-AAA game they have made that has cutscenes and a actual story.

Well I see people complaining more about the price than talking about the game itself. Hopefully Sony re-evaluates the situation

I mean if the game reviews well and has a high user review and isn't selling at 69.99 I think sony will get the hint. There are already games going on sale that were exclusive to PS5 like godfall. Miles Morales isn't selling as well, and part of that I think is price, and also the way it was marketed as being PS5 title more than a PS4 title.
So you will see more sales I think for PS5 version than PS4 and right now no one can get a PS5.

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.

Frame rate seems a bit shaky. Let's see if we'll get hands on impression previews

Looks really cool. But I hope they have gyro aiming if they want it to play that fast. At least as an option.
Also, not at all sold on this being a $70 roguelike yet.
