Housemarque teases impending announcement

Housemarque is one of the more out-there first-party PlayStation studios, with the Finnish developers known best for their work on 2021’s excellent 3rd person rogue-lite shooter Returnal. Since the title’s last major update in 2023 the team have been relatively silent…until now.

Teasing fans on Twitter, the team at Housemarque shared an image of someone staring at the ‘camera’ through shattered glass, stating that more details will be shared later today.

Though highly cryptic, the closeup of the character’s face does appear to be similar to Selene’s from the aforementioned Returnal – suggesting that we might be getting new content of some kind.

Since its release back in 2021, Returnal received a whole host of major free updates, including adding a new Tower of Sisyphus mode as well as full-on multiplayer co-op.

Considering how long it’s been since the last major update, we could be in for something pretty big. Here’s to hoping.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
