Godfall announced for Sony PlayStation 5 and PC (Counterplay Games, Gearbox Publishing)
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Might as well be lifetime console exclusive.
Good luck getting people excited a year after the new consoles have launched.
6 months might already be a tough sell unless the post-launch-window release calendar looks barren.
Not trying to shit on the game. I really like the gameplay gif but I still think the might be a hard sell after its exclusivity runs out (if it even does at all).
I'd agree if this was a looter-shooter, but looter-slasher sounds great to me.
If this manages to make me feel even 1% of the fun I had with Phantasy Star Online, then it's already a big success in my books.
A looter type game should have been a game to announce and blow everyone away with cross play again and the features involved in that especially as I don't see it having pvp
Makes me wonder if Sony is going to continue to be aggressive with third party exclusive deals.
This is a 'scraping the bottom of the barrel' kind of exclusive.
If it is a launch game it will, remember warframe? People are hungry for launch games on a new console.
There are 5 AAA looter shooter. And no a single one with a melee focus but okay.
I will play the shit out of this if it's even remotely good. I love looter games but prefer melee/fantasy over shooters.
Looks fine to me, Slasher/Looter has my interest. I can't believe people are comparing this to Hellblade though, not even the same type of game and one is 3rd party and the other is 1st.
I thought I was the only one that noticed how bad the hair looked. It was literally floating on top of their armor.

The first PS5 game announced and seen and it can't get 10 pages yet....not a good look.
Yeah, love the look of the enemy or the sword :)
A loot slasher with impressive graphics sounds imo like a promising launch game for next gen.
A big mistake tbh this can't be forgiven for next-gen. I hope they improve it before launch.
Looks like a good foundation for a multi year GaaS game that will evolve over time with updates
Lol, me too. Anyway, looter slasher, that's disappointing.
looks like a super fantasy PVE For Honor
then again in these kind of games how good loot is can make it or break it

That sounds ripe for a thread. Post that and it will sure speed past 10 pages combined!
Not exclusive to PS5, coming to PC on EGS too. Seems Sony and Epic have good relationship so some games go here and there.
Probably just something they snapped up to bolster their launch line up. Just as Warframe was last gen to begin with. It gets the dev more attention as well. Hence why they might have been keen to get the first reveal, ahead of what other bigger stuff may be coming.
I'd wager it was PC always and Sony secured console exclusive rights. Epic is just a follow on from Borderlands and probably was decided well before Sony grabbed their version. No real idea why you'd limit a looter shooter to one storefront though, going to be dead as doornails.
I was just wondering. Is this a case of Sony being in bed with Epic and releasing a Playstation exclusive on PC?
Or is it more a case of Gearbox *continuing* their relationship with Epic, and releasing a title that was already supposed to be a multiplatform as partial exclusive?
I'm rather confused over the fact that Sony allowed this announcement before even presenting the next console officially.
Even if we all knew it was coming, of course.
There's one, but it's not AAA title, Let It Die. It's a FTP title, that reached 5 million downloads in March.

The bolded is their doing, not mine. If I had to guess, this is a Sony moneyhat to secure (timed) console exclusivity.
No, they already announced the console twice, on the second time they reveal the ps5 name.
From my experience in the industry, sometimes the explanation is far more simple:
- This game is being developed by a small indie team and thus, a decision needed to be made to focus on certain platforms first
- Gearbox, while publishing, may not have super high sales aspirations for this, so they do not want to spend money porting a game that may not land the way they want to.
- Both the developer and the publisher needed marketing help, and Epic and Sony were willing to do so in exchange for the 6 month exclusivity.
This happens in the game industry all the time, I do not see why this situation would be any different. Hell, the game a lot of people are comparing it to, Warframe, did the slow rollout too.
No
Sony confirmed just 2(?) months ago via Wired title
The tweet about it has something like 400k likes
It's probably Gearbox's not Sony's. Randy Pitchford really love Epic.
So co-op drop-in drop-out souls , with destiny loot?
I think it could be fun.
This happened last console transition as well, with Watch Dogs, Star Wars 1313, among others.
It also technically happened with the Switch with Dragon Quest XI.
It's fairly normal.
