Defy all Gods
God Eater: Resurrection is the latest entry in the God Eater franchise, and an enhanced version of the game that we in the West know as Gods Eater Burst, released in the US on the PSP on March 15th of 2011. This enhanced edition was released on October 29th of 2015 in Japan and it is now releasing for us alongside its sequel, God Eater Rage Burst 2 (which will be getting an OT from me as well).
Animated Prologue by Ufotable | Story trailer
Set in 2071, you take the role of a God Eater as you step into your first missions under direct orders of an organization named Fenrir, in its Far East Branch. Your orders are to exterminate the threat that are the mysterious beings called Aragami, and survive. You aren't alone however. Equipped with a God Arc, a special weapon infused with these beast's cells, alongside up to 3 other companions via your friends back at HQ, controlled by AI, or with your own friends via online or ad-hoc co-operative action, your task is to take down these beasts and collect information. The game now boasts over 100 hours of content and included a bonus story segment taking place after the events of Burst is included exclusively in this release, connecting the events of Burst with those of God Eater 2.
Short Blade, Long Blade, Burst Hammer, Buster Blade, Charge Spear, and Variant Size.
Most of the old Aragami have been given a completely new attack while some of them get an attack from the new Aragami introduced in God Eater 2 and God Eater 2 Rage Burst.
As well as that, is a short list of what you can expect in the game:
- Character Customization (VIDEO)
- Aragami battles with AI or up to 3 friends (VIDEO)
- In-game cutscenes (VIDEO)
- Burst Mode: go Super Saiyan on those Aragami and show them who the true God is!
- Predator Style: an expansion of the existing Devour function that enables additional devouring options in the form of the instantaneous Quick devour. You may devour multiple Aragami.
- Transformation attacks: your weapon can now convert itself into its gun mode after a sword mode attack
- Cross-play(up to 4 players) and save between PS4 and Vita!
Q: So... I heard that this game comes for free if I pre-order God Eater 2: Rage Burst... How does it work?
A: Rather than having me explain it to you, I will be showing you the official statement on the website for the games, because yes, it is confusing as heck.
US info:
EU, Middle East and Australia info:
So yeah there you have it.
Yes US Vita owners got shafted :'(
Q: Doesn't that mean I could just import the EU version??
A: You could. But the code to access GE:RB wouldn't work if you aren't a part of that region.
Q: Dang it. I may just go for the PS4 version then instead... But all my friends are going for the Vita version...
A: No worries there, there is cross-play between the two! Sadly as of now the two console versions cannot communicate with PC players.
I heard that the game got censored?
A: Yeah, blood was toned down, most likely due to ratings.
Does the game come with dual-audio?
A: No. If it's a deal breaker though, you have the option to turn the voices in-game off and play with subtitles only.

Special thanks goes to everyone involved in bringing the series over to the West once again, as well as all the sources I got my information from, such as the official website and the super helpful wiki.
I'd also like to thank Sal Romano over at Gematsu for having a great source of news and media which helped a lot with the creation of this OT!
