Godfall Leaked Gameplay Footage Released - News

We've had the same thing on PS3. What were you expecting the PS5 to actually give us in terms of games. The games will be the same. Just look better, and cross play through different platforms. Companies aren't going to put money into newer better games when they can just push out more of what's been established.

I'm joking. I'm really suggesting this is being treated as a PS5 exclusive for hype and nothing else.

We are already seeing the developers boast about the visual fidelity only being possible on PS5. But that was no different than cross gen games of 2013.

You think it's going to flop based on 6 second clip? At least wait for the proper reaveal before you say it's a flop or not.

Exclusive launch often do pretty good. Sequels to launch games generally have less success.

I'm more curious to see if this is a project that actually needs 9th gen specs.

what are you talking about? launch games do well only in sales, because of lack of other alternatives, however, the quality is definitely lacking.... ryse on Xbox, order 1886 or knack on ps, drive club and infamous lack in content... etc

You said the game will flop, then you admit launch games can do well in sales.

You ask what am I talking about, then you say exactly what I was talking about.

@Pug, I believe what he is trying to say is it will flop but not in sales. Like Drive Club, that game went on to sell 2m+ copies but flopped hard, claimed to be a Forza killer especially but all it offered was graphics. Most launch titles sell well only because of the lack of games at launch leaving the customer with minimal options and most times they are giveaways with consoles meaning not much money is being made off the games hurting the companies behind them.

I challenge Azz to provide a Source of Sony saying Drive Club was Forza Killer.

@Azzanation - That's not what flop meams though. Also, even shallow games can have redeeming qualities that makes them enjoyable.

Driveclub wasnt really a launch game, it sold more than 2 million and it actually had a lot of content. It was a critical failure but not a flop.

Sony closes Evolution Studios in 2016.. If that doesn't spell commercial failure without will.

@Don: I cannot link websites on here, nice try, but you can easily google it yourself. Ill post you a link on your wall to help you out.
@Pug: Sony closes Evolution Studios in 2016, if that doesn't spell commercial failure than I think you both need to use google.

@Azz - No, I think they just had more faith Polyphany. Maybe they thought that studio would release a complete game in gen. I believe GT under performed and was a criticial failure this gen.

Driveclub sold well enough compared to most new IPs and even got a port on PS VR.

In retrospect, I think Evolution Studios could have helped Polyphany. Multiple studios work on NFS and Forza, why not Gran Turismo?

Maybe Drive Club wasn't making enough money while GT Sports did manage to sell more copies that game was also heavily discounted and gave away through Bundles. I don't believe Evolution Studios would have been shut down if Drive Club was a success. You are entitled to like the game however commercially it doesn't seem like it did what it needed to do. The Games budget might have been too much for it to make back. However don't quote me on that. Polyphany has more of a track record and is a bigger studio so closing them wouldn't have sat well with many while Evo might have been expendable. But who knows.

@Azz first time I hear gamepur belongs to Sony. Read again what you said and what I requested.
Where have SONY called DC Forza Killer, not what one journalist or another touted or expected such. Do you have a source with a Sony higher up claiming it?

I bet Driveclub had a fraction of the budget GT Sport got. It technically had multiple releases as well if you consider the VR release as a complete game. They could have cheaply made a Driveclub sequel simply by making refinements and adding content.

In comparison, GT Sport is not considered a complete game and hit $20 fast. I dont believe it lived up Sony's expectations.

Anyway, its not about what I enjoy. I think Sony just had really great expectations for their other racing IP.

Pug, DCVR sold as standalone and full priced (or close to it) so yes I would count it as at least spin-off, but certainly a different title (the missions are different as well).

@Don: Where did I say Sony said? The term was rolled out by many and Sony just sat there riding the wave like usual, not coming out to downplay the term. It was all over the net and just like No Man Sky, Sony let the guy talk out of his ass and lie, these things set the expectations too high. This isn't the first time some Sony game was coined a game killer. Just google Forza Killer, its everywhere and this was suppose to be a jab at Forza turned into a joke for DC and backfired and hurt its image even more. Sony might not have said it, but they used the termed, slapped VGC24/7 on it and made a small add days before DC released with the pic showing a car running through another car saying Forza Killer VGC24/7. They used it as complimentary to sell there own game.

@Pug: Sales mean little when you don't know the profits or targets a game has set for it. DC would have cost a lot to get the visuals they were aiming for and 2m units sold most likely didn't cover the cost of the game. Evo had accouple chances to redeem DC by adding Motorbikes and VR however the games destiny was set in stone and couldn't be saved. DC sent Evo under and to me that is not what I consider a successful game, no matter who likes it.

Again, it sold considerably more than 2 million. They actually shut down Evolution studios before support even ended. Lastly, they released it early in the gen. It had a faster development time than GT Sport and likely a much smaller budget.

Frankly, how many studios get shut down shortly after releasing a game that sold a few million? The whole thing seemed odd to me. But its simple when you dont think about it much.

@Pug: You know alot of those sales were bundled copies right? Local game stores had tons of returned copies sitting on there shelves due to customers buying PS4s and trading DC in. I cannot speak for Every one How ever i saw the copies with my own eyes. DC clearly wasnt making enough money. This is getting off topic, we should leave it here. Lets agree to disagree.

Yes sure, Sony would make a press release to say "It isn't a Forza Killer, sure sure", you are using some random publications claiming it as if it had any impact or hype made by Sony to it, you are just trying to throw a bad jab. I would like this official ad with the claim of Forza Killer that would at least give you some leeway.

@Azz - It sold 2 million in about a year apparently. So again, the final sales number is likely a lot higher.

Also, if the game was such a disaster why did it become a VR experience? Why not just bury completely?

The trade thing seems anecdotal but also not uncommon. Plenty of early titles tend to sell a lot and flood stores over time.

We can stop talking about this, but if you really felt that way you wouldnt argue while asking to move on.

Sony rendered an entire add, show casing a Blue car smashing into a green car using the term PS4's Forza Killer.. Sony didn't have to go to the lengths and create an add and use this term, but guess what, they did and the industry isn't stupid enough either to suggest other wise. This was a direct Jab by Sony which backfired on Evo. In this case Sony had the choice to use it or leave it alone and they used it.

@Pug: Its simply really, DC didn't sell enough to make there target and its scheduled road map didn't turn the game around. Hence the decision to close Evo down. Its quite obvious. Also 2m also includes bundled games which came with the PS4 and a lot of them were returned so the figure does not tell the true story.

@Don: YouTube Driveclub All Action trailer. Sony created an add using the term from VG24/7 and the add show cases a Blue car crashing into a Green car throwing the term PS4's Forza Killer at 0.46. Sony had the choice to use it or leave it and they used it to hype there own game. The industry isn't that stupid to believe other wise. It was a direct jab at Forza and Sony used it.

@Pug: Its really simply, DC did not sell enough to make there targets and its scheduled road maps could not save it. Hence the closure of Evo not long after. Also keep in mind that 2m sales counts bundled games.

So let me get it straight, they made a 1 minute ad with 1s showing Forza Killer claim by a reviewer and that is Sony making hype (even though the add basically coincides with release)? Ok. At least it is more than your previous evidence.
They have put a lot of other reaction from several different outlets, seems just like a normal add that you probably would find for several MS released games that got lukewarm reception like crackdown. I have so many game cases for games under 80 with very high praise from one obscure outlet or another stamped on it.
At the time DC was sold all bundled games were sold by only 10USD discount or even full price, so you can't discount the sales.

@Don: They created an add showing the term and enforcing it. Those words now become Sony's words without them saying it. Remember they didn't have to use it in there add but they did and they are responsible for hype being generated by it.
Whatever DC sold clearly wasn't enough to save the game or the company.

My thoughts too. This may be early footage though so I guess there's that. It does seem to be offscreen as well and that may not be doing it justice. I'm more looking forward to what Sony 1st party can do visually.
