I sure hope so. Kind of a strange time to lift an embargo.

That info is probably mistaken. Don't read too much into it. Already notified someone I know at Playstation Portugal so they can check it out.

I love the marketing hype these days behind "RT + 60FPS". Everyone will assume it uses ALL of RT features available. I can almost guarantee that the RT isn't going to be something to the calibur of Cyberpunk/Metro. And 4k will be upscaled from a lower resolution and not native.

That's what I thought as well.

Most likely doesn't even use ray tracing. I'll be surprised if it does.

Live from NeoGAF, it's Friday Night!
Sadly the rabble isn't invested to much into details so RT can mean everything to them even if it's just reflexions.
Same with "4K".

Deciphering the narrative-driven procedural horror of Returnal
Housemarque details its shift to AAA development, after a long history of creating frenetic, arcade-inspired games.

Yup. People gonna see/hear what they want, their brains going into an immediate whirlwind of optimistic assumption at the slightest provocation. "B-but... they said they were using UE5... why the textures look so bad? Where the fancy GI at? Ouch, I could cut myself on those jaggies..."

Pretty much that, and no one should be upset as it's still very good.

Yeah I know that some drama happened in Sporting, and fully respect your opinion although not so deep into what happened. So far he has been perfect with United.
Anyway:

Yeah, maybe a little too close. Still, they have dedicated time during several State of Plays to it. Being a pretty hardcore sci-fi horror game they may rely on word of mouth among people who like similar games, and it seems Housemarque has loyal fans.
Sometimes it may not only not benefit the game being heavily advertised, it may actually work in the games favour to be regarded as somewhat more of a ”underground” and hardcore game not aimed to the mainstream.

Ask me about my Stream Deck
I feel like we've seen more coverage on it than sackboy and destruction all stars. Maybe not as much advertising as spiderman MM, but similar first party coverage. That is not based on any scientific evidence though.

It seems cool. Im shockingly more interested in the story than the gameplay so far.
I'll get it at some point down the line.

The way the camera and animations blend together for the main character it's something i would expect in those really cheap greenlit steam games made with stock assets in UE4, there is some serious lack of flair to the combat in this for me. I was expecting to be a believer after more footage but it looks as jank as i expected when it was announced.
I'm a fan of rougue likes like Risk of Rain and Hades and love Platinum's Vanquish and Housemarque's Stardust and Resogun, but the aesthetics ain't it here for me, if you are doing third person fast action shooter this close to the camera with that much fidelity, i kinda expect some cool ass animations and models which this seems to be lacking in strides.
I hope the game does good anyway, i like the studio's output and want to se more in the future regardless.
