[DonJorginho]

A huge thanks to everyone on the team at Housemarque, PlayStation Studios, and all the other teams involved. We can't wait to have this out soon and for every player out there to experience the planet of Atropos!

 

[elco]

Dope. Still not paying $70.

 

[Jaysen]

Please be really good.

 

[Concern]

 

[wArTHEIST]

A shame that most people will not be able to play it... will this be coming to PC at any point?

 

[Jaysen]

Dope. Still not paying $70.

Same. Unless reviews for it say it's every bit as addictive as Hades and Dead Cells. If it is, that's definitely worth 70 bucks to me.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Looking forward to this. House Marque has great gameplay most the time

 

[MasterCornholio]

Something wrong?

 

[Elder Legend]

I love Housemarque games. Have 100% trophies in Resogun including DLC. Funny enough, I haven't played their new games after that.

Will try this out, but the $70 tag is scaryville.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Day 1.

 

[SkylineRKR]

How many copies will be Returned.

 

[drotahorror]

I'm rich so I'm getting it day 1.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Something wrong?

It's not on xbox I guess.

 

[skit_data]

If this gets good (85+ MC) reviews I will buy it for €80, gameplay and aesthetics is definitely up my alley. If it gets mediocre reviews I will probably wait for a sale a couple of years down the line.

 

[Crimson_Fate]

Same. Unless reviews for it say it's every bit as addictive as Hades and Dead Cells. If it is, that's definitely worth 70 bucks to me.

I would have picked it up day 1 but I refuse to purchase any game for $70 .. I'll pick it up this fall if reviews are good.

Problem for me is that dev has never made a game worth more than 30 dollars. I'm not just going to give them 70 bucks sight unseen.

 

[Warnen]

Does it have gold in the disc? $70 for some game from an indie developer that only made $20-$30 games in the past, even though this is published by Sony seemingly negating the indieness of it, seems nuts!

 

[R6Rider]

I won't be getting it day one, but not because of the price. Too many other games I'm still playing or that will be releasing around that time.

Will definitely pick it up later in the year though.

 

[MasterCornholio]

It's not on xbox I guess.

Not focusing on that but Housemarque games usually end up good. I'm not sure why it deserves a sarcastic clap when it goes gold.

 

[Entroyp]

Yes!! Can’t wait. I paid $90 because I’m an adult that doesn’t depend my parents giving me allowance money

 

[MasterCornholio]

I don't think indie is a good determination of price. Like for example CD Project Red are considered indie and I don't think their games are priced badly.

 

[Roufianos]

I'll wait for a sale. If half of the comments in a thread on an enthusiast forum are about price then you know they fucked up.

 

[DavidGzz]

I need to hear that it's great and addictive otherwise I can wait for a sale.

 

[Elog]

Really looking forward to this - have got an immense amount of playtime out of Housemarque games in the past. Their tight gameplay is something for others to really aspire for.

Me:

 

[Ellery]

Nice. Even though I am not going to hype this game before it launches and is being reviewed it is great that we are finally get some more next gen exclusive games!

 

[a multicultural team of v]

I'm not sure enthusiast forums are the best barometer for cost because according to them every game should be included free in a $1 subscription plan, sold for 75% off the MSRP by a questionable key reseller, or purchased in Turkish Lira for the equivalent of $.79 USD.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Pretty interested in this, but I think I'm gonna wait for a price drop before biting. Curious to see more of it in action as well!

[Tangerine]

Remember when cyberpunk went gold? Pepperidge farm remembers.

 

[cormack12]

Now I just need to go gold to afford it.

Spoiler

It's a joke, I'm looking forward to this when I get it

 

[.Pennywise]

"gone gold" is a good fitting news for like 2008 or so

 

[MasterCornholio]

Glad you agree. Just because a game is made by an independent developers doesn't mean it isn't worth 70$. Alot goes into justifying the price point other than whether or not the developer is independent or not.

Returnal doesn't really look like a bottom of the barrel budget game. But that's just my opinion.

 

[Punished Miku]

I already pre-ordered Resident Evil 8 for $10 less than this game.

I'll get it on sale. I am curious how it reviews. There are very few 3D shmups with fully movable camera. It's not clear if it'll be a mess or not since you can get shot from all directions. Also not clear if the story is any good considering its the studio's first story in a game basically. Also not clear how long it takes to feel repetitive. I'm very interested in how this turns out.

 

[Greggy]

This thread is showing me how much GP is shaking up the market. It’s becoming harder to justify spending 70-80 bucks on a game when you played Gears of War 5 + all the dlc + Hivebusters for free at launch. Or The Medium. And when you know that Stalker 2 is coming day one for free. Or when you have more free Xbox games to play than you external drive can hold. Sony will have to address this new reality or the only games that will sell for them considerably in the future will be God of War and whatever Naughty dog releases.

Guy is a fanboy or atleast a concern troll. hence his name concern not surprised though.

I think it says more about peoples lack of confidence in a fairly small indie developer going to AAA-production values

yeah your the best kind of right, technically!

Don’t spran your shoulder patting yourself on the back or anything

 

[dorkimoe]

There’s 0 other games to play on ps5 at this point so they can get away with it. (This is not a shot at ps5 but no new ps5 only games)

Some ppl really have no idea what indie actually means. The word just gets lumped together with a certain game size, budget or look.

Insomniac was indie, lol.

This thread only showing that stupid warriors like you, concern or warnen have too much free time

 

[Portugeezer]

I'll wait for it to be a monthly PS+ game.

 

[Robins]

Is gold 500,000 copies?

 

[Hyphen]

I love Housemarque games. Have 100% trophies in Resogun including DLC. Funny enough, I haven't played their new games after that.

Will try this out, but the $70 tag is scaryville.

How about any of their games before that?
I thought Outland was a brilliant game, and is my reason for seriously thinking about a day one purchase of Returnal. Nevertheless, I'll probably wait for reviews first.

 

[Reindeer]

How many copies will be Returned.

Returnaled?

If you say so. I'm no more likely to spend $70+ on a game now than I would have prior to GP, which is to say I wouldn't except in very rare circumstances.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Great news

I will help you out and tell you that it is not a low budget indie game.

Don't worry, everybody makes mistakes.

But as most of your replies, even your perception is superficial.
