Square Enix has released a brand new gameplay trailer for Forspoken, focusing on its magic combat mechanics. In Forspoken, Frey will have a wide arsenal of powerful magic at her disposal.
As the description reads:
“Frey can take on the countless twisted foes that lurk in the Break. Mastering multiple magic types enables customizable combat options and numerous ways to fight the enemies threatening the realm of Athia.”
Forspoken uses the Luminous Engine and will be coming only on current-gen systems. Furthermore, the game will take advantage of DirectStorage on PC. Square Enix has promised to reveal more tech details about it in the near future.
Square Enix has delayed the game twice so far. The publisher was originally planning to release the game in May 2022. Then, in March 2022, Square Enix delayed it until October 2022. And now, the game will come out on January 24th, 2023.
Enjoy!

Nothing stands out in this game !!!!!!
I feel the same, but its not just this game for me. Iv never been so uninterested in new releases as I have been these past couple of years. Hardly anything looks interesting any more and I half expect everything to have some woke crap in it.
Same only thing that stand out in concept and artstyle in AAA games is upcoming Atomic heart .
And I mostly play indies now completed Neon White last month , even old Ps2 games .
Played God of war 2 , man what a stellar game …it showed how much industry devolved .
Try old games man backlog is humongus anyways !
Already am. Indies and old games are pretty much what keep me going right now. Im currently playing through Quake 1 with the RTX mod and I cant seem to stop playing Noita.
Noita is so cool, good find
same i mostly play boomer shooters and some indie games, atomic heart looked good until they decided to make it look more like western games and hide its gameplay. I didnt care about stalker 2 but the little footage they showed with mod support looked good but we know what happened in ukraine so yeah. I wouldnt say starfield looked good, i would say its a nice pallet for modding, people can turn it into freelancer 2. Thats it on AAA for me, the rest are sequels, or long running milked franchises or superhero stuff.
Try Prodeus man its so good !!! (even with the broken check point system )
yeah i finished it great overall but it feels like 2/3 of the game and the last third is phoned in, needs more levels and better final levels.
i discovered this boomer shooter no one has heard carnal or karnal have not played it yet but people who played it say its good.
Also cant recommend ashes 2063 hard enough or amc tc.
I was never impressed by this game and thought it would be really bad. Surprisingly the graphics look a lot better and the developers seem to have added some depth to the gameplay mechanics. I wait for reviews before forming a final opinion.
I’ve postponed watching any feeds for Forspoken due to an unbalanced society of feedback, etc. but since there’s a serious drought for new decent AAA titles to at least potentially consider to add to my library, I’ve finally decided to give Forspoken a look.
All I can say is, I do understand now the very fair criticism feedback.
I’m still scratching my head to what/who is this protagonist. From a dork to a bada$$ fighter? What? All in black with no imagination? What? It(?) wears a cloak intentionally to show zero of nothing? What? Are they going for a female or a androgynous look here? What? A bunch of vfx but it looks overexposed (can’t even make out what’s happening at times) in many sequences.
This will end bad… again… for Square Enix and Sony, in my opinion, especially by Forspoken being only exclusive to the PS platform and EGS for 2-years (I think this exclusive deal has broke history), no Steam, etc.
You seem severely confused. Maybe try typing less, your confusion only pollutes the internet with endless stream of garbage.
initially they had a hot asian anime girl with big boobas, then they switched to this, she is some new york girl from bronx who has a “f you” spell. LMAO, the actress who plays her is really tall but they made her same height as every enemy in this game. Why?
Square enix said they no longer target japan thats not where the market is, i cant wait for this company to go bankrupt after this game and their next failures.
Well, I just researched this protagonist, this thing is from the super flopped Charle’s Angels film, but even with her ignorant beliefs, it seems like Square Enix’s devs failed deliberately to not capture her full likeness when it comes to many features of her, especially with the advanced mega-scan etc. tech these devs have access to. The protagonist in the feed and the image below looks completely different in many ways.

you would think after an entire video game console generation of trying to do this and ending up with mass effect androgynous, that they would stop, but no fckers really want games to become like movies. But like i said in my other post, they dont want them to look attractive so they cut the breasts of the character who plays ellie’s girlfriend in the last of us 2 because she has big ones in real life, cant make her attractive in a western videogame.
Black magic : the game
This reminds me of that larping video where a bunch of nerds were pretending to be wizzards and fighting some guy and they were like “MAGIC MISSILE” and the other guy was “argh” and then “MAGIC MISSILE” and he was like “argh” and then they were like “MAGIC MISSILE” and he was like “argh”.
Who thought turning bulletspongy harry poter larping into a video game with as much bulletsponge was a good idea? This is like horizon zero dawn but your dodges are actually good and cool looking and you can fly around the map fast without having to use animal mounts with awful controls. Some games want you to explore their map and others are like saints row 4 and just cause 3, you just fly over them fast.
Speaking of animal mounts, look how generic the enemy design is, zombies, deer, crocodiles. Most important things to make good combat is powerful and cool weapons and powerful and cool enemies this game has none.
Also isnt the actress who is playing shaniqua porter really tall? Why is she the same size as every generic zombie? Its like last of us 2 that they found this israeli teenage girl to play the role of eli’s girlfriend and they cut her breasts off in the game because she has big ones in real life. Its so important apparently to have real actors in videogames but not their real body types, they might be too tall or too sexy.
they need to find the character less sexy than they actuall are.
Found one…maybe https://media2.giphy.com/media/3ornjVsgtdAWYjQRzy/giphy.gif
still sexy, try again lol
Guess I’ll wait for the movie.

you should its a funny post.
you should maybe they kill themselves and leave us alone to have fun.
God she’s ugly.
God this game reeks stupidity and un-inspiration at every level.
This is competing for peak wokeness 2022 with saint rows.
Japan should stick to attractive female characters, unless they want Korea to take that crown for themselves.
SE: Get excited about this game!
Me: Why???
