Since Returnal has now released (To pretty amazing reviews from both critics and players, might I add!), I think it's time for me to update the poll, so you'll see it change to something different shortly... not sure what yet, I'll have a think while I make another coffee, lol.

@Runa216 is right though, this first year is pretty fucking insane for the PS5 in terms of games... hopefully they can keep the momentum going! It's just a shame I can't find a PS5 anywhere, and even if I could at this point, I can't afford it anyway lol, boo! :( Guess I better start streaming more or start an OnlyFans, that seems to work, right? ;)

Although Returnal had a great review and their running history is quite solid I wouldn't chose housemarque over bluepoint even if cheaper (Sony could possibly buy both for a portion of that 187M), they still have to many great franchises that need a revival and a bluepoint remake would be ideal (yes they don't need to buy to do it, while new IPs it is better to buy the dev to ensure the sequel is of same quality), but that is me.

Here's  my 2 cents worth, whether by happenstance or design Returnal may well turn out to be looked at as Housemarques First Party audition' the reason behind my thinking is Returnal shows off their potential worth and how well they adapted to the growth required to make that step up much more than smaller scale games like resogun - nex machina etc even though they were great, still there are caveats like how much Housemarque values its independence and while we may see it as a good acquisition Sony may well feel the present partnership model is working well and favour a continuation of the status quo over outright ownership at least for now.

On to Bluepoint  I'm not sure whether the Souls remake while continuing to further showcase their technical capability, pushes their portfolio forward in terms of  showing they having the DNA to deliver a strong original product  and that seems to be what Sony values , but they certainly tick all the other boxes and even if bought as remake specialists i'm sure like Bend with Days Gone and others they would be given a chance.
