Forspoken demo coming tonight on PSN

Pretty sure that i'm not gonna like the demo if it is one of those demos where you have a shitload of stuff and none of it is properly explained and you are just there in the open world button mashing your way through without a proper introduction to the mechanics etc.

Man the combat is kinda fun. Graphics really pretty. Story looks dumb as fuck. And the main character needs to shut the fucking fuck up. It's in my wait for sale pile because first half 2023 is too goddamn stacked.

That's one of my biggest pet peeves I'm games. Drives me nuts
 
Looks like shit in performance and fidelity mode one cos the frame rate is really weird in fidelity mode.
Performance mode is smooth but the res seems very low And has that washed out low res effect that just looks like shit.

Hard to tell whats going on most of the time.
 
On reeee many people are saying to take a look at the options for the gameplay, a lot of things to change to make the game better:

Parkour on toggle instead of hold
Turning down how much they talk
Auto-picking objects
120hz in the display options to make all the modes more fluid
Set climbing to semi-auto
Set magic wheel to toggle instead of hold
Auto use the health potion (because during combat can be hard to see the small health bar)



I'm gonna try all of this when i return home from work.

Where is the magic wheel toggle? I did not see that and that is something I really need

Unfortunately while it looks like InFamous in previews, it plays nothing like it

I was hyped for Forespoken but this demo convinced me not to buy it. The game mechanics are extremely clunky for aiming and shooting, the melee is basic.

It almost seems old school in its semi RPG approach because you just select spells and they play themselves, but it feels far less engaging as a result

The graphics are horrible. Blurry, shimmering, overly aliased look to it. Compare this to GoWR and it's a generational difference

Sorry to say that this is a dud, and Sony wasted money on this and probably why they shouldn't buy Square. They are very hit or miss. Hopefully FF16 fares a lot better

It is called Magical radial menu i think.

Just look at any option in the game, it should be impossible to miss.

In fairness it was past midnight last night so I mighta been tripping. I didn't do much or get very far I just sorta ran around.

I plan to spend my friday afternoon with this demo. I wasn't major hyped for this or anything but was gonna pick it up out of strong desire for a proper next gen game. First but limited impressions though were not great, hopefully spending more time with it boosts my hype. If not, thank you Square for saving me $70
 
The "cringe trailer" from a while back completely killed my interest in this game. Guess I'll try the demo next time I'm bored but so far it doesn't sound very promising.
 
Is performance mode sub 1080p upscaled? And it still drops frames often. Combat is kinda fun, but i feel like she moves like a very slow and clumsy turtle. This world looks really boring and can they both just shut up? Graphics look kinda last genish. I will probably get it for 20 or less. Anf Wtf German Dub in very bad.

Man what a disappointment
 
Gotta say, game is pretty fun and is the full realization of the FF15 battle system. At first I was a bit turned off by the main character, but I've grown to like playing as Obama's daughter.

why is the grass so bright. i cant see shit.

why is this game even downgraded? its a next gen only game. i remember the first trailer at the ps5 reveal. it looked amazing. sure it was running on PC, but they didnt have 20 tflops PCs back then.
 
That showcase is exactly what I expect to see from this game. Hopefully there will be training grounds and the actual game will have a smooth introduction to combat, because that is A LOT going on.

. . .also roflcoptering at the graphical fidelity complaints ("last gen" indeed). This stuff has gotten so low-effort.

I think square is technically incompetent

I mean look at HFW 60 fps open world compared to this trash

Unacceptable
 
Demo was horrible. Generic world, art and gameplay. I was so bored playing. I can't imagine how they thought it would be a good idea to release a demo. At least before playing it you could be fooled and buy it, but now?

yes, folks, there is indeed a simple very good reason that not nearly as many game demos are released now as there used to be. & this is it...

Like this is a good thing. If the devs don't understand that this stuff makes the game unequivocally better, what does that say about everything else?

A lot of great games have some shitty options turned on to default.

Almost no one has auto-pick up, and gow ragnarock play much better when you put mantle, climb and shit in automatic.

And let's now even start with graphical noise like blur, film grain and fucking chromatic aberration, all turned on in ALL games where this stuff is optional.

If the opinions i readed are true, it is a combat system that you have to waste some time on to get good, and try the optimization stuff i wrote down.

I plan to do the same when i have a couple of free hours.

P.s. this is a proper nextgen game like my asshole is a proper space black hole.

Uhm… the actress.. is extremely easy on the eyes, and seems super cool. Makes me want to download the demo. It's just that the in game model and play mechanics seems down right horrible. Hopefully this doesn't tank her career.
Also does NOT look like an Obama offspring… people need to get their eyes checked.

Her career was already tanked by the shit she is in like the last charlie angels or the puke inducing resident evil serial on mehflix.
