For example, many players deplore the lack of an automatic save system. Clearly, if you have the misfortune of shutting down your console or going back to the main menu, it’s back to square one without any mercy. The same if you have to deal with the unexpected, or if your console suddenly crashes. For now, the only solution that seems to work is to put the PS5 to sleep.
On Reddit, one user suggested to the developers a less wobbly alternative that would offer flexibility without betraying Returnal’s DNA: to offer an automatic save with every door crossed that would self-destruct once the character died. A clever compromise whose popularity has reached the ears of developers. “We listen to the community, and we love you all, they said on Twitter. We have nothing to announce at this time, but continue to enjoy the challenge.“
Should we detect the future implementation of an automatic backup system? We must admit that the answer is vague. In any case, other productions of the same kind (Hades, among others) have shown that it is perfectly possible to be magnanimous without lowering your pants. For the record, Returnal was released on April 30th.
