Yes I am basically doing free marketing for this game but what I said in the YT comments is true! It's easily one of my most anticipated games right now. The demo I played was chock-full of content and managed to both look great and play well on my ageing PC to boot. Add to that a bit of Metroid (Prime) environmental puzzles and atmosphere and you've got yourself a cult classic* in the making.

*I say that because I seen so little hype for it so far which is a damn shame!

Metroid X Tomb Raider = Returnal?

 

[Tommi84]

Metroid Prime x Tomb Raider?

This is Returnal 2 obviously

 

[Jennings]

Lara Croft + Zero Suit Samus?

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Has potential.

Not feeling the atmosphere of Metroid games though.

Cautiously optimistic.

 

[bender]

Looks like someone tried to remake Returnal in Dreams.

 

[lh032]

visuals could be better.
Returnal looks way better and smoother.

 

[VN1X]

LOL so every sci-fi third person game where you control a lady is now Returnal? I see...

I guess we can call it a Returnallike hah (aside from some skindeep comparisons it honestly has nothing in common with that game btw).

 

[Spaceman292]

I don't understand how they can put so much effort into all these flashy visuals still have a janky walking animation.

 

[VN1X]

Hell, I just realized it even shares DNA with Dark Souls. Specifically with how the saving works which is basically like the bonfires from that series: You save at a specific point and in doing so you respawn all of the enemies again. Also, as you progress you start to loop back in on previous areas through shortcuts as well. It's all really well realized I thought.

vaibhavpisal during the demo I distinctly got that Metroid Prime feeling of isolation after landing on a hostile planet. Combat, scanning and the atmosphere in general all reminded me of it.

 

[Kupfer]

The concept is interesting and promising, but I won't be buying crossgen titles anymore.
Looks too much like a PS4 title and will therefore will be limited in typical last-gen fashion.

You need to be pretty blind to not see returanl in this

 

[jigglet]

i thought it would be a true cross over.

like samus with watermelon sized tits

"Metroid Prime x Tomb Raider"

 

[Shits_McGiggles]

If the Tomb Raider part is the third person shooter gameplay, fine. If the Tomb Raider part is Uncharted style climbing, then fuck that noise. Uncharted climbing is the worst mechanic to be copied.

I played the demo.

I mean fair enough it shares some similarities but again it plays nothing like Returnal.

Yeah it's the vibes.

 

[PJX]

This topic reminds me of when majority of Nintendo fans were calling almost every open world game a BOTW clone. Now we got Sony fannies calling every 3rd person adventure game with a woman a Returnal clone.

 

[Valt7786]

As long as its not another bloody "Roguelite" then I'd be willing to give it a shot.

 

[darrylgorn]

Her reaction at the beginning looked like

Too bad xbox got no game to be compared to

It's not.

It has more similarities with Jedi Fallen Order than anything. Especially structurewise.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I hope bans page will get updated soon.

Game looks interesting.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Female check
Annoying voice check

 

[Shtef]

Its another game where protagonist won't shutup, it's so anoying.

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

brown haired ponytail girls are so generic

i bet she doesnt even have a penis

 

[SaintALia]

Ah, reminds me of ReCore, but slower paced I guess. Actually I feel it more reminds me of that third Lost Planet game.

Can't say I'm a fan of the pace though.

Was that ever a thing?

I do remember people calling out two specific games as BOTW clones though, that Phoenix game from Ubisoft and Genshin Impact. And I think it's hard to argue against either of those being heavily inspired by BOTW. I think that multiplayer sorcerer game as well, but I think that was mostly an aesthetics thing.

Yes it was a thing. Not sure what you were doing at that point in your life but you couldn't escape it. I remember having numerous discussions with fellow developers / artist about this topic. it has died down but I wouldn't be surprised if it comes back up again when the new Zelda game is released.

 

[DragoonWalker]

Looks as jank when I first saw the unknown YT alpha footage with no fanfare. Metroid Prime I can see, but what's Tomb Raider about it? Her ass? Where's the awesome platforming?

 

[coffinbirth]

Looks equal parts interesting and janky...will put a pin in it.

 

[K' Dash]

Looks like someone tried to remake Returnal in Dreams.

since I fucking hate roguelike games, I'd get this before Returnal a thousand times.

 

[Alexios]

It briefly looked great but then they showed gameplay beyond just walking and then the combat. It would probably seem a lot better in first person without those character animations and camera angles. We'll see.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Combat seems slow. If there isn't huge zones with a focus on Exploration then it isn't anything remotely like Metroid Prime and the puzzles and platforming don't seem like Tomb Raider either.

Cautiously optimistic.

Edit: There is a demo on Steam. Imma check it out probably tomorrow.
