I guess since it's hard to get a PS5, Sony might have asked to get a version for PS4? I don't know just a thought.
I think the exclusivity ends on May 12th. Wouldn't be surprised to see it on Gamepass afterwards.
It's not too unusual. It happened to Titanfall 1 from memory.
That was a few weeks apart and known about well in advance, though. This is just weird.
Resogun got a PS3 / Vita port a year after PS4 (it was a launch game)
Nah, more likely that it was developed as a cross gen game first, Sony saw the game (as the developers showed it to them in the middle of development) and paid Gearbox to make it a launch title for the systems, which made it so PS4 was actually off the "timed console exclusivity" contract, which is kinda hilarious when you think of it.
I remember the PS3/Vita port of Resogun didn't come out until a year after the PS4 version.
Was the PS3 port of Resogun based on the PS4 or the PSV version ?
Shadow of Mordor..... and we all know what it looks like (worst port ever made).
Love this combat at 10-15 fps on PS3.
No, that game is not coming to ps4. Sony's contract with bluepoint is done, and even if a port were to happen, far too many sacrifices would have to be made to run decently on PS4.
Honestly, that's not all that surprising. It being a next gen only game looked and seemed like something completely arbitrary, and since it almost certainly didn't do so hot it's no surprise they'd decide to backport the game to PS4 if possible to get to a wider userbase
Titanfall 1, just like Twilight Princess, came out a bit after the next gen release (1 month fot TF1).
One key difference vs Godfall is that the X360 and GC versions were announced before the game release.
Yeah, that's a good pull. I remember that being a bit perplexing being so late after the PS4 version.
If you have the PS5 version does it let you downgrade to the PS4 version for free or do you need to charge Sony £10.00?
What sacrifices are you talking about? There's nothing complex about the gameplay. Some toning down of the visuals and 30 FPS is all you need.
Yeah, I don't see any other scenario where I would consider touching it.
The only other explanation I can think of is that the developers wanted to cash in on the "Next-gen only" marketing for the launch.
It really is weird situation.
I'm wondering this too, early showing didn't look great and I totally forgot about it.
Probably no worse than Destruction All Stars. I think people just weren't that interested in it, especially at $70.
Resogun got ported to PS3 a fair bit after releasing as a PS4 exclusive at launch.
I don't expect Horizon FW to look worse than Demon's Souls on PS5 tbh
It's still a port but making it sound impossible is ridiculous. There's nothing there that couldn't be made to work on a PS4 and still look good.
Again, you are assuming incorrectly on how games work.
Listen to Bluepoint themselves talk about how much of a pain was it to downport Titanfall 1 to X360 (and not just from the gameplay perspective), they cleary dont even want to be in a position to doing that again.
It's not unheard-of (Resogun got late ports to the PS3 & Vita), but considering that The Graphics was the whole selling point of Godfall, I'm not sure how a late port that will likely be a seperate purchase will do.
It used to be relatively common. There's a bunch of Master System games that would fall into that category, releasing much later than their Mega Drive/Genesis equivalents. A lot of other 8-bit machines also had extended life cycles that included late ports (or often just new versions, without anything like porting being involved) of games that originally appeared on hardware far more powerful than them.
The PlayStation also got a few games that were otherwise only on next-generation systems, sometimes quite late. For example, Capcom vs SNK Pro released almost two years after the first Dreamcast release of Capcom vs SNK (the only other console to get a home release). More recently, Shakedown Hawaii got a 2020 release on several older machines (Wii, Wii U and PS3), a year after its original 2019 release.
