Support NeoGAF

Returnal’s Steam listing continues to get updates ahead of a possible reveal | VGC

Achievements have been localised on the as-yet unannounced port…

www.videogameschronicle.com

In May, SteamDB logged the presence of a new product in the database which goes by the codename ‘Oregon’.

While it wasn’t immediately clear what the game is, certain localisation strings in the game’s listing make it clear that it’s a PC port of Returnal.

On Thursday, for example, the game’s achievements were updated with new localisations, with 19 new languages added.

Although the Oregon codename doesn’t give away that the game is Returnal, its localisation strings include such phrases as ‘Atropos’, ‘Tower of Sisyphus’, ‘In Helios’ and ‘Returning’, making the game’s identity clear.
Now the site’s history page shows that the in-development game continues to get new builds on a daily basis.

Bet this also launches before Uncharted.

When they gonna show us something

Cmon Sonyyy

 

[mejin]

Buy It, PC people.

 

[rofif]

BUY it. It's the best ps5 only game.
Love it

 

[SmokedMeat]

Finally a Sony game I didn’t already own from my PlayStation days.

Love Housemarque’s work, so this will be another buy for me.

 

[ChiefDada]

I'm dying to see this game running max settings on a PC. You PC folks don't realize the greatness coming your way!

 

[Roxkis_ii]

This game is the shit. Easy recommend to any metrovania fan.

 

[T-Cake]

I hope it fully supports DualSense on PC.

 

[GHG]

Will double dip day 1. Should be brilliant with a mouse.

 

[Wohc]

Nice, this is actually a Sony game i would buy before it drops to 10 bucks.

 

[TrebleShot]

Hopefully it has dual sense support for pc players as it’s integral to how it plays.

Hopefully there’s also some sort of easy mode patched in.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

BUY it. It's the best ps5 only game.
Love it

When I agree that it's a great game (and I don't even like roguelikes that much), calling it the best PS5 only game is kind of silly when there are a total of 5 (five) PS5 only games, including a short tech demo and a remake of 2009 game:

• Astro's Playroom
• Demon's Souls
• Destruction AllStars
• Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
• Returnal

...

As with any other Sony release on PC: day one, boys and girls. DAY ONE.

 

[akaFullmetal]

If this does go to PC, won't this be the first ps5 game to cross over To PC? Everything else released before has been a PS4 game.

 

[BigbyTheSheriff]

Yeah, unless Last of Us remake comes earlier.

 

[StateofMajora]

Definitely, it's not even close.

And as good as it was I can't wait to play it at higher resolution and 120fps.

Just like Resogun was the best ps4 game for a while after it launched. History repeats itself.

 

[Fredrik]

Easy recommend to any metrovania fan.

For those who like metroidvanias and roguelikes it should be awesome. Everything except the sense of progression is absolutely top notch, like all time top 10, plays amazingly well, movement is perfection, but for me who’re not used to roguelikes it felt like playing without saving and I ended up hating it.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

I hope it fully supports DualSense on PC.

And via Bluetooth. It is hilarious how some games expect you to use a Dualsense wired for support.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Just like Resogun was the best ps4 game for a while after it launched. History repeats itself.

I'm pretty sure we had better games than Resogun 20 months into the lifecycle of PS4. Bloodborne?

but for me who’re not used to roguelikes it felt like playing without saving and I ended up hating it.

I'm pretty sure I will cheat and mod 'quick save anywhere' option to the game. SUE ME.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Resogun is STILL the best PS4 game. I am the self proclaimed greatest Resogun player on NeoGaf.

And it's the best new game out of these. Demons souls is a remake.
The smaller pool of ps5 only games, does not invalidate this

 

[H4ze]

Will buy it day one, since I don't habe a PS5 am really horny to play it finally!

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

Will buy for sure, and for my fingers for a good VR mod

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Absolutely not! It's just good to put things into perspective. Doesn't matter that there's no pool, only a small puddle. A good game is still a good game.

Omg yes I’ll buy the game so fast if this happens!

As a fast paced "twitch" shooter, wouldn't m+kB make more sense here? Full Dualsense support would be nice ofc.

sure, but the game plays great with a controller too.. After the initial hurdle, I really got into it.
And this game got the best haptics so far on ps5. You can mute the audio (and controller speaker) and you still hear a lot through the vibrations.
The rain, portal humming, shooting trigger resistance. Fantastic.
Also.... beware DUALSENSE users with old springs - the game might break your trigger spring. easy to replace and fixed in new models but still

 

[GreatnessRD]

FUCK THIS SHIT! WHERE IS MLB: THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!

Imma still buy it though, probably

 

[Nickolaidas]

C'mon, Sony, announce Demon's Souls already.

Let's pretend Destruction AllStars never happened

 

[Fredrik]

shooting trigger resistance

It’s too weak for me, I keep pushing it over the ”edge” and end up trying to shoot secondary fire when it’s not recharged.
But maybe you can increase the stiffness with some system settings?

[ClosBSAS]

This is the game that will sell on PC

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'll definitely get the PC port. Game is kinda blurry on PS5.

 

[DeliciousDoc]

Not trolling but really don't see what makes this look interesting. It looks like
Shootbang3065 the reckoning.

 

[GreatnessRD]

whynotboth.gif

I am for sure in favor of both games coming to PC. While they're at it, the masses await Gran Turismo 7 on PC. It just feels right.

 

[Holammer]

They should try pushing it out of the door kicking and screaming. 39,99, available now!
No drip-feed marketing months in advance, with no date or price, like the pathetic lack of communication we've seen with Uncharted (GoW was handled fine).

 

[drotahorror]

I'm pretty sure we had better games than Resogun 20 months into the lifecycle of PS4. Bloodborne?

I said for a while. Resogun came out on day 1 and was the best game for quite a while. Obviously this is my opinion although stating as fact. Still a great game.

It's in the system settings in ps5? But it should be on high by default.
Or maybe your trigger spring is broken ?

 

[BoxFresh123]

Didn't a bunch of settings screens for the PC version leak while back?

Yes, Sackboy & Returnal.

 

[Guilty_AI]

This is the game that will sell on PC

Its true roguelike is popular on pc but the price might turn away a lot of potential buyers. Might do well long term tho, after some sales price drops.

 

[adamsapple]

Yo this port has been imminent for a long fucking while now lol

 

[BennyBlanco]

Co op mode. Roguelike. Sci Fi. Fast paced shooter.

Has the potential to be a Steam flavor of the month game for sure. But if they launch it at $70 it could be DOA.

 

[Apocryphon]

Sure I'll play this on my desktop and Steam Deck!

 

[ComputerBlue]

Been playing this for the past week, I was only slightly interested, was waiting for bargain bin discount tbh, but finally gave it a go through PS+ premium. The game is soooooooo good. If you like rogue likes you’re in for one a hell of a treat.

I get Metroid Prime vibes from it, there are only some similarities but there’s this atmosphere about it that feels like I’m playing MP again for the first time. It’s great.

You must have Trigger Effect set in the PS5 UI set to off, weak, or medium. I don't see how it's too weak if you have it set to Strong(which I use). I lean on it pretty heavily and don't have a problem. It was only an issue when I first started playing Returnal within a couple of hours because it was the first game I played on PS5 that used that type of resistance.

 

[thismeinteil]

Hell yeah, bring in the nude mods.

 

[Lognor]

Keep em coming!

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Hell yeah, bring in the nude mods.

Honestly, I expect Samus mods in the first week!
