Here’s a photograph of Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford holding the first ever PlayStation 5 game, straight from the Blu-ray manufacturing plant. According to the executive, this copy of Godfall is the “first next-gen retail game in the world”, which is pretty cool to be fair. He’s even photographed the packaging from a variety of different angles, so we get our first look at the back of a PS5 case, for example.
To be fair, the design theme is pretty consistent with PlayStation 4 games. There are some icons at the bottom which confirm the game is not playable offline, as well as ‘Vibration Function and Trigger Effect support’ for the DualSense controller. The PS5 disc itself has a white banner towards the bottom with the console’s logo in it, and also sports the Ultra HD Blu-ray logo. Pretty cool, huh?

It's happening!
If I got a PS5 day one, Godfall would be a part of that purchase. I think it looks really cool.
Can't wait for reviews on this one...Looks very interesting and each trailer keeps getting better.
"Vibration function and trigger effect supported" An odd thing to designate.
"The first next-gen looter slasher" I cannot believe they're actually proud of this lol
It’s interesting that on the back of the box it says “ascend solo or in co-op”, but then further down it says no offline mode and playstation plus subscription required 🤔
I guess I'm getting Godfall, since besides Demon Souls there's really nothing TRULY next gen
Godfall
So we officially calling BS on that Travis Scott post then? Unless he was playing Astrobots I suppose.
I’m looking forward to this one. I plan on getting this, Sakboy and Miles Morales at launch.
"the game is not playable offline" well I will not be buying then....simple as.
@Nightcrawler71 You don't need PS Plus to play solo. Bad wording on their part not putting "For 2+ Players" or something.
Why does he look so wet 😂
His most impressive magic trick yet. Why does he always look high on coke?
I think it would probably be more exciting if the branding wasn’t so similar to PS4! I really like the changes in box art/physical media between consoles like PS1 and PS2 and even Wii U to Switch.
The edition i have on preorder, looking forward to this
I love how the PS5 boxes are basically just "what if we made the banner white with black text instead?"
Not the most pleasant image of Randy Pitchford. Why is he so sweaty?
Shame he took the cellophane off... If I got a brand new PS5 the last game I'd want to start with would be Godfall... I wonder what other company they sub-contracted the development of this game too...
@SamwiseTargee
Have you heard about the video of that magic trick on his USB drive?
its a pretty bad start for ps5 with Godfall as out first production game 🤨
Not exciting at all for me
@djape Why is it a bad start? Godfall being the first off the production line and ready to ship doesn't mean the other games won't follow... all it means is they're done... The PS5 isn't isn't out yet.
@Nightcrawler71 they confirmed a while ago it was an online only game.
@TheFrenchiestFry I really wish they'd gone back to the first PlayStation. If not box shape, then at least branding. Plus I miss the little holographic sticker on the front.
@djape whatever game it might be at least itshappening and building some more hype and knowing its round the corner
@djape Godfall was also the first PS5 footage we ever saw, lol. I blame Sony for not being more proactive in showing off the PS5 and its games.
Good lord, that first picture is off-putting. The game is definitely not the first thing I see, and I don't feel so much "excitement" as "repulsion", lol. Pitchford looks like a bug-eyed fish man bursting from a sewer to take a desperate gulp of air.
Never buying any garbage from Pitchford again.
@TheIdleCritic The jewel cases were pretty charming for their time but I still hate how much of an eyesore the Greatest Hits label was on those specific games
@TheFrenchiestFry was that those "white label" or "Virgin Games" ones? When they ramdomly made the actual cover picture tiny.
Literally the only next gen exclusive I won’t be picking up day one on PS5 but still neat nonetheless
Hideous blue case with white banner makes not want to but any physical games, maybe I'll be proactive and buy a pack of white or black blue ray cases from ebay (yup they exist!).
@TheIdleCritic No I mean the ones that had those excessively green side banners with the orange type face
Those looked hideous.
@Juanalf I thought I was the only one who did that.
@TheFrenchiestFry Ew. I genuinely don't remember having those in the UK lol.
Everyone remember though, they changed the PS3 cases halfway through. They could do it again here.
@TheIdleCritic I just dont find Godfall exciting or innovating or anything like that. (its just not MY type of game). Always online and cannot play offline sucks pretty bad too. I didnt like their marketing or trailers they showed. Just kinda meh and for me, as a all time PS fanboy, I want better, because we can do better then Godfall...
@hoffa007 yeah, this is true... I agree... its just personally, I dont give a damn about Godfall.. we as playstation family deserve better
@stinkyx yeah agree with that. we as a playstation fam deserve better then this unexplained, plain looking game... just my opinion,. Some ppl will like it, some will not. I think its just mehhh
Yeah not that it matters too much but the art and case clash. Should have gone with white or black cases as standard 100%
I didn't know Godfall was online only. Surprised by that given it's a hack n' slash action game.
Interesting that there is no remote play logo on the box.
I am getting Miles Morales at launch, along with Cyberpunk. I plan to get demons souls and sackboy by the end of the year. I might get assassins creed or watch dogs, but i really want to see reviews first.
No chance i'll be getting godfall. It looks like the dictionary definition of generic. I did buy borderlands 3 a few weeks ago, so ill probably take advantage of the launch upgrade path for that
Why did I think the cases were black...?
what a wet, wet man.
Nice, game should be good, the trailers were generally terrible mostly due to the lame explanations of how to play what is A very generic game, but generic or not it should be pretty fun
@djape don't get me wrong I do agree with your first comment and your next comment with it all, if it happened to be say Horizon Forbidden West the hype surrounding that would be far greater. I hate to say it, its a shame that's not coming at launch
This game feels like if God of War and Infinity Blade made a baby, but not in the good way. Like most people here, I feel that this game is very generic, and I don't think I will buy this game especially because it needs a internet connection which I don't have when I'm at sea.
Randy Pitchford. Of all the sorry fools to have something nice, why did it have to be Pitchford?
Nevermind, it's just a Gearbox game.
Agreed with many others, the new branding of ps4 but in all white is so.... Nothing? It's weird...ps3 got a box design update far more significant part way through.
Is that the same Randy Pitchford who left a porn-filled business flash drive at a Medieval Times?
@KippDynamite Yes, it's the same Randy Pitchford that assaulted David Eddings.
@KippDynamite does footage of him screwing Sega count as porn though?
I'm more excited for this game after seeing raw gameplay from japanese youtubers compared to advert from gearbox (especially that awful trailer with the hiphop music), it looks like a mix of souls game and god of war which I like.
No offline mode is a shame though, if the game isn't successful the server can be shutdown and we can't play the game anymore.
Another game that looks great for online campaign co-op.
Why does it even have a physical edition if it's online only?
Randy... not my kind of guy. I wouldn't leave him alone with anybody I know, unless they have a taser or a pepper spray on them
@SamwiseTargee that was my question too . and his eyes... strange. But beside of that this is my Edition day one on PS5. Cannot wait to loot slash my way through the game .
@80sGamer
You might be being overly generous at 7/10
This is just warframe,with the aesthetic of Garo(the anime).
But will it be better than Warframe?
@710King Yeah it doesn't really make sense as an advertising feature. Its almost like saying "The first next-gen generic, forgettable, button masher." It looks pretty but the always online and the general feel for how they are positioning the game, makes it a no-buy. It may be one of the only next gen games available at launch, but I would rather play a last gen game than to throw $60 away just to say I have a next gen game.
@TheIdleCritic 😕-I'm confused, because I thought everyone was FR'ANGRY about not only for an (Always Online) connection for Solo Play, but (Also) because it would in turn (ALSO REQUIRE) getting PS+ for Solo, because of it(PS+) being "baked in"(Required) for the Co-Op side?
😕-So wouldn't that mean that you have to have PS+ no matter what, unless they change it specifically for Solo play, which if they do, wouldn't they also have to sever the (Always Online) requirement for Solo play?
@RicksReflection I have no idea about that side of things But the official Godfall twitter account stated that you do not need PS+ to play solo.
That white banner looks particularly naff...
@TheIdleCritic 😕-Yeah it doesn't make sense that they can't seem to (correctly) articulate the info to their customers...lol.
😶- Especially since we(the customers) are ready to nit pick at every little detail anyway, let alone a massive confusing error in communication like this one.(No Wonder people are FR'ANGRY about this Game...lol😂)
@Grimwood @Grimwood.. Curious what is 0815?
Still going to be a bargain bin sale for me...
