Forspoken (Project Athia) [PS5, PC]

[BRiT]

And SquareEnix has had a string of failures recently, the latest being Babylon's Fall... so they need to make sure that what they put out there is in as good of shape as possible.

Seeing as this is the most recent post mentioning Babylon's Fall, here's some news about it. It's official:

Hmm still felt like a budget ffxv. Waiting for reviews

 

[Nesh]

Still waiting for those awesome visuals we got from the Demo Agnes Philosophy ages ago

That video made me realized that the new star ocean basically went economical and skipped the park our animations, and simply "fly" the 3d model ROFL.

Btw the videos of this game made me think that the story missions and Quests will be horribly boring and bland, but it'll be fun to explore and hunt monsters.

Kinda like final fantasy xv but focused on the hunts

That video made me realize the things that made it felt like a budget ffxv

1. The camera cuts in gameplay are quite jarring / felt low budget
2. It's missing chocobros

They defenitly improved performance comparing to previous trailers.

The rendering is so artifact heavy it's very offputting.

 

[vspectra]

That's probably just poor vid encoding or youtube's crappy bitrate. Here's some direct-feed 4k screens.

Possibly but these artifacts are specific to every video I have seen of this particular game. I suspect those screens might just be bullshots.

Forspoken will also arrive on Xbox Series X | S, but after January 23, 2025

In addition to confirming how long Final Fantasy 16 will remain an exclusive PlayStation 5, a recent trailer released by Sony

thegamespoof.com

So exclusivity rights until 2025 on console.

Assuming the game isn't dead on arrival and the Square Enix Studio isn't dead by then...

I wish this game looked better, both visually and gameplay wise.

As it it looks like a generic Ubisoft style icon collection game. "We watched people play Breath of the Wild and didn't get it" type thing.

It's also so, generic and empty. Generic art, empty landscapes, the water is totally flat on a PS5 game while GTAV tessellated water on the PS3.

FFXV was a mess, but at least it was an interesting, ambitious mess. As someone pointed out above, Agni's Philosophy looked way cooler. Better facial animation a decade ago, AK47's versus wizards and demons, hell yeah I want that!

Did.... Did they reskinned FFXV carburetor to become a cat?

I wonder if it'll be better with co-op (or AI companions).

The world feels so empty and emotionless. With so much clutter and very few "hand crafted area design for visual cues and oomph".

Zelda botw is really good at area design with visual cues and oomph.

For spoken looks like genshin impact in that regards
