Godfall announced for Sony PlayStation 5 and PC (Counterplay Games, Gearbox Publishing)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Strange first PS5 game reveal. It doesn't look like something that would be impossible on PS4. I guess it's a 4k60fps title on PS5? I like the weird "Godfall - Reveal Trailer | PS5" in the title of the official upload to the PlayStation channel and the big "PLAYSTATION 5" text in the trailer.
With UE4, it's basically CGI.
Here's an animated short on UE4 from 2015:
Spot on. It's pretty, but if it's loot based in the same way Borderlands or Destiny are, I'm out already.
I have to look at the trailer again as I didn't see it was stated it was in game so I assumed CGI.
Anyway open world games tend to be less graphic intensive so a comparison is unfair.
Much worse actually, this developer is known for over the top exploitation of players through microtransactions, I can't wait to see how their monetization schemes have worsened by the time this releases. It'll be a freemium gacha abomination.
They said it's real time in engine and Hellblade looked pretty much like in the trailers so I'm inclined to believe it looks like that. The console is sporting a 12tf card so it's not really impossible to believe.
From Engadget:
Microsoft revealed its next-generation console, the Xbox Series X, in a surprise announcement at The Game Awards -- and no debut would be complete without a fancy, detailed, in-engine demo. To that end, players got another world premiere in the form of Senua's Saga: Hellblade II from Ninja Theory.
So is the PS5 SSD PR speak now because even Gearbox is talking about it as some major thing:
Will be interesting to see whats so special about it.

Exciting to have a PS5 game officially announced!
Personally, I'm not a fan of the art direction. Those characters look very 'busy' and over-designed for my tastes, but pretty cool to be getting next-gen announcements already.

That's what they said about the 2015 animated short in the link I posted but I haven't seen anything that good. Who knows! Maybe? I've been through this so many times though, next gen will be good but let's ... nvm. It could be that good!
Games wont look this good in real time. Especially if they are in the early days of development like Hellblade 2.
I think they will. On both sides. This game looks pretty underwhelming barring reflections. People didn't expect 12tf rdna either and here are.
I was talking about hellblade 2. I can see consoles running those detailed faces in cut scenes. But not the water effects and those environments in gameplay
There's this quick glimpse of gameplay so far
Looks a bit like Paragon.
I really hate this kind of art direction. Overdesigned armor and weapons combined with beefy character models... feels so generic.There's this quick glimpse of gameplay so far
Doesn't mean that the game can't be great. I just hate the art direction, lol.
There's a small version on their website but that gif is from PlayStation lifestyle.

I mean this is unlikely to be a showpiece next gen game but compares pretty well graphically to Gears 5.
Looks generic and not *that* beautiful. That could only be a bad trailer, but really not hyped. Weird choice from Sony to present this as their first next gen exclusive as they have, without any doubt, tons of other exclusives that would be better ambassadors

Game doesn't look all that impressive to me. I mean, it's impressive. It just didn't feel like a leap in any noticeable way.
This doesn't affect my hype for PS5, though. It's just one game. I can't wait to see what Sony has cooking up for it.

Shocker.

The one who's presenting this isn't Sony - it's Gearbox Publishing. Granted, I assume that acknowledgement that it's a PS5-only game probably had to get some approval from Sony to be announced.
Sony will wait until the official unveiling of PS5 before they themselves showcase the games that they want to be highlighted in their PS5 event.
This is reminiscent of demon souls. It's like the same dialogue. It could go either way but it just reminds me of demon souls so much
I think i've literally heard this comment every single gen after 1st gen lol
Yeah, it's just a product of working early into the gen. Within six months to a year we'll see stuff we'll be blown away by. I'm not worried.
I thought to myself, "what a shame it is that this is the first ever game to be shown for the PS5", and then I remembered that the first game that was showcased for the PS4 was Knack and then I didn't feel so bad.
I can dissect little things from the trailer. The character with white hair has really bad hair tech, blocky hair with squary intersections not moving great. In the first seconds of the trailer you see some off-screen RT reflections on the ground. They are blurry which means they are using low samples but using sharpening to enhance it. This means the game is 60 FPS and not 30 FPS otherwise they could have used full resolution.

Infinity Blade with lots of particle effects and shiny shiny. Horrible. And the voiceover is ugh!

Looks pretty cool to me!
They said next Spring and we knew that was the timeline for the PS5 reveal, but they basically confirmed it.
KLee says February for PS5 reveal. He called the Xbox surprise reveal tonight so I'm rolling with that.
Lords of the Fallen?There's this quick glimpse of gameplay so far
There is obviously going to be much more impressive PS5 games revealed in the not too distant future. This wasn't meant to be a big PlayStation moment.
