I guess it was somewhat inevitable to give the game somewhat of a userbase again. I assume it's cross-play too.

 

[MiguelItUp]

They were saying huge news, so I figured the F2P route made the most sense. I wonder how much extra traction they're gonna get from this.

it is crossplay but only for private matches lol, ie you only play with your friends, which is trash.

 

[nikos]

Official announcement is in 20 minutes, and can be seen here:

 

[Holammer]

Explains the sponsored videos in my YT feed.

 

[Punished Miku]

Fall indeed.

 

[solidus12]

No free to play on PlayStation?

 

[manfestival]

I had my fun on PS plus but this is a great game and I hope more people can enjoy it with now that it is going f2p.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Sounds good. I'll finally be able to test it out. Havent heard anything about this game in a long time. Maybe interest is long gone.

 

[Spyxos]

This reveal is more like trolling. They show nothing now for over 5 minutes....

 

[Erebus]

It's a good call if they want to keep the game alive.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[kyliethicc]

No free to play on PlayStation?

Free to play everywhere

Cross play and progression

PS5 version. (And PS4).

Switch and Xbox ports.

EGS.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Wild that a game like this can't even run at 60fps on Switch lmao.

Edit: Or on XBOX One, lol.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Nintendo skins on Switch is gonna bring this game back. I swear it.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[Ristifer]

*Aiming for 60fps

What a time to be alive.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Wild that a game like this can't even run at 60fps on Switch lmao.

If I was the dev I wouldnt bother either.

When was the last time you saw Switch gamers demanding hi res or 60 fps gaming?

 

[AJUMP23]

Is it fun?

 

[kyliethicc]

Is it fun?

Yeah but also frustrating lol

 

[Jaybe]

Is it fun?

For a couple hours, yeah, it's a good time. Nothing to invest much in long-term.

 

[jaysius]

Is it fun?

It's another one of those indie games where "lulz the controls suck" is the main gimmick, some of the jumping doesn't work well.

 

[StealthGoblin]

So why on Earth was Shu involved with this? Looks like the other platforms are gaining things.

 

[yurinka]

Great news for everybody. And made a nice video to announce it with Elle and Xavier, who are great and nice hosts.

So why on Earth was Shu involved with this? Looks like the other platforms are gaining things.

On PS it goes F2P, gets crossplay, crossprogression, a PS5 patch and a new season. All these things combined means a big microtransactions increase on PS for a game that was almost dead there, and Sony gets a 30% cut of these microtransactions on PS.

 

[MiguelItUp]

If I was the dev I wouldnt bother either.

When was the last time you saw Switch gamers demanding hi res or 60 fps gaming?

Oh yeah totally. Just thought that with the way the game looks, that it wasn't something that could've come naturally is all.

 

[Pejo]

So it's Rocket League, v2?

 

[Riky]

Pretty big resolution jump for Series S over One X there which hasn't been the norm, will be interesting to see.

Congratulations Rik my boy this must be a huge day for you personally.

 

[Stuchinoko]

Tim Sweeney pulling the smooth brain plays again in a desperate attempt to make people install EGS.

 

[ButchCat]

I don't play Multiplayer games, is this locked behind PS+?

 

[splattered]

Tried to pre-register via EGS Xbox login, it redirects me but not back to a page where i can click into it again to actually register. (Says something about two check boxes?) anyone able to actually get this to work yet?

 

[fermcr]

People still play Fall Guys?

 

[Nautilus]

I'll try for free.

 

[kyliethicc]

Fall Guys coming to PS5, going free for all, getting new modes, and more

Mediatonic is excited to announce that Fall Guys will be free to download on PS4 and PS5 from June 21.

blog.playstation.com

First of all, we're really happy to say that we'll be utilising enhanced physics and native 4K asset handling which means… Fall Guys will be hitting 60FPS at 4k on PS5 starting June 21. This is a huge deal for us—just imagine every colourful costume stumbling along in 4k resolution—so beantacular!

Our Tonicteam has been trying out some fun stuff with the DualSense wireless controller's haptics to add to the game further down the line. Dan Parkes (one of our audio engineers) added this lovely feature where the controller starts to vibrate as you get closer to the Crown. It's subtle but it really adds to the tension as you reach the final few meters of Fall Mountain and Lost Temple.

We've also been working on Direct Access for Fall Guys on PS5, which essentially links certain parts of the Fall Guys menu to fast tasks. This means that you'll be able to jump straight to Main Show, Duos, Trios, and Squad modes from the launch menu. But don't worry. You won't start falling into a match until you confirm you want to load into matchmaking.

 

[Holammer]

So it's Rocket League, v2?

Basically, that's why I avoided buying the game, so I don't get another bricked game in my Steam library.

Anyway, it's not a big loss. It was trending hard with intense hype when it released, then it just petered off. Now it's struggling to get on Steam's top 100 played games. Going F2P was the way to go.

 

[LordCBH]

This game was fun as fuck at release. Then the hackers took over. Did they ever solve that issue?

 

[Boy bawang]

Wild that a game like this can't even run at 60fps on Switch lmao.

Aren't you more shocked that it's 30fps on xbox1?

 

[MiguelItUp]

Aren't you more shocked that it's 30fps on xbox1?

Same applies there for sure. I glanced at the image and didn't see 30fps for XB1 lol.

 

[Whitecrow]

They had one job. Make a level editor...

 

[nikos]

Switch version running at 30 FPS was expected but still a big letdown. Haven't been playing the game recently, but I'm really looking forward to the update.

 

[theHFIC]

Looking forward to getting back into some Fall Guys games with friends especially now that it will be cross platform.

Did they say if this new release is going to be moving the game to Unreal Engine or is it sticking with Unity?

 

[Azurro]

Sounds good. I'll finally be able to test it out. Havent heard anything about this game in a long time. Maybe interest is long gone.

It's a really fun game, I started to play it again a couple of weeks ago and there was no problem finding a game.

 

[THE DUCK]

This is great news, glad to see it free too on all platforms.

 

[SnapShot]

fad game from last year going free to play

 

[yurinka]

They had one job. Make a level editor...

They are working it, announced it and shown it. But said will be released later.

I don't play Multiplayer games, is this locked behind PS+?

On PlayStation the multiplayer modes of F2P games aren't locked behind PS+. Multiplayer is free for all F2P games.

 

[Whitecrow]

They are working it, announced it and shown it. But said will be released later.

Is that true?? That made my day : DD

 

[DarkMage619]

Pretty big resolution jump for Series S over One X there which hasn't been the norm, will be interesting to see.

I noticed that too. Despite the negativity on the platform in some circles it continues to positively surprise.

 

[Calverz]

too little too late. Should have been multi plat and free from the start. But instead they made a deal with the devil.

 

[ahtlas7]

This came out of the gate massive.
Is it struggling for players now?
