Forspoken System Requirements Hints Developer are Finally Moving to Next-Gen?

[ethomaz]

What to you think?

I believe soon that Mininum will cease to exists and games on PC will need at least the Recommended level (that will be become the new Mininum) of hardware.
So developer could push more and more in graphic terms.

BTW PS5 Demo was updated with all the feedback from players... we need to praise Square Enix for that.

 

[ethomaz]

BTW about the PS5 Demo update.

It is time to try it.

Seems perfectly fine to me. The game is demanding and it's time games start being demanding!

Time to upgrade from your 1060s, pc bros. 720p30 is a big oof

On PS5 the game runs:
~900p in performance mode (which can't even maintain 60fps all the time)
~1000p in RT mode (which can't even maintain 30fps all the time)
-1293p in Quality mode (which can't even maintain 30fps all the time)

LOL... durrrr... No shit the recommended specs are what they are for NATIVE resolutions of 1440p and 4K.... consoles can't push ANYTHING NEAR THAT... not to mention ultra settings which typically offer minimal visual improvement for the drastic cost.

So no... it's more like console gamers are going to have to get used to shitty 30fps quality modes and sub 1080p performance modes for next gen games

I hope you get well soon

in the end, it wouldn't matter in the slightest if the game is good. We don't know that yet.
Dark Souls ran like 15 fps in some areas

So surely that would be the case on PC as well..

Doesn't change any of what I said though.

You're not wrong. The games resolution and performance are pretty subpar for the quality of visuals it's putting out on console.

900p for a next-gen exclusive game is borderline pathetic.

Witcher 3 with its new patch looks the same, if not better, than Forspoken, minus the central character models maybe.

We're in a thread focusing on NA....

I didn't bring up the PS5 in this thread sweetie... someone else did. Talk to them about

I love how people are using this as some sort of power benchmark for the PS5 when both R&C and HFW destroy this game graphically and can pull better resolutions and framerate. R&C can output 80fps with Ray Tracing at 1440p.

This is such a lazy job it's not even funny.

Remember, any rushed job or lazy port can be regarded as a technical achievement and used as a benchmark, as long as it runs like shit on PS5.

It's not that Forspoken doesn't look as good as to what you'd think of after seeing these requirements and checking on this game's next-gen only nature, but that it is lagging VERY FAR BEHIND and lacking rendering features already found in an old-gen open-world such as Red Dead Redemption 2 (which looks crispier and straight up better on the Jaguar-powered Xbox One X).

Going back to the specs, this is clearly yet another case of bad PC optimization on Square Enix's end and repeat of what happened with Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade on PC, which turned out the way it was and without any platform-specific features or enhancements due to the fact that Nixxes was no longer there to handle the console-to-PC convertions for SE.

The only remarkable thing about this game is how they blew The Division's downgrade out of the water. Some dirty 1080p screenshots of mine from the YouTube upload of the Project Athia announcement trailer debuted at PS5's reveal:

The lighting model, geometrical detail, LOD and overall scene complexity showcased "running on PlayStation 5" in this first showing of the game is nowhere to be found on the final product, which is a billion light years away from looking this good.

This is why the end result of Forspoken pisses me off on so many levels, because the project's first teaser perfectly encapsulated everything I thought was to be expected in a full-on next-gen only game (hell, I even thought that it gave the Unreal Engine 5 demo, which back then we saw a month before, a good run for its money), but I was lied to by the Luminous guys, once again.

 

[Vertigo]

Terrible resolution at 60fps. Unacceptable really… send it back

So why didn't you tell them yourself like you did in the sales thread?

Btw, ethomaz only provided an info regarding the update of the demo. You were the one making silly comparisons between the platforms.

Returning to the actual topic: it is finally time that devs start embracing "next-gen" and it's going to show soon more often in the min specs of PC versions.

BUT in case of Forspoken it looks like it's because of poor optimization more than else.

A mediocre PS5 version explains why it feels like the PC requirements are bloated even though it doesn't look better than 2015/2016 WRPGs.

This looks like a generational leap.

Ubisoft aren't the only ones who do bullshot trailers

Hopefully FF16 isn't being marketing incorrectly like this.
