Luminous Productions has released a new tech video for its upcoming game, Forspoken. This video shows off some of the graphical techniques that it will be using, including AMD FSR and DirectStorage.
As we’ve already reported, Forspoken will be one of the first games that will be using DirectStorage. Luminous Productions showcased the game loading at 1.9 secs on an NVMe SSD and at 3.7 secs on a SATA SSD.
From what we know, DirectStorage does not yet support GPU decompression. This may explain why the load times in this video aren’t lower than 1 sec. After all, the promise of DirectStorage is to load assets at blazing fast speeds, and that’s not what we’re witnessing here. In other words, and as with most modern techniques, it will take some time until developers can fully utilize it.
Forspoken will also support AMD FSR 1.0 at launch. Luminous Productions also claimed in the video that it is working on AMD FSR 2.0 (though we don’t know when they will add support for it).
Forspoken is coming to PC on October 11th.
Enjoy (I’ve also included below another video, showing six minutes of new gameplay footage)!

Impressive speeds. Very impressed by the sata ssd speeds as well. Less than two second difference to nvme is nothing to sneeze at.
Impressive indeed, although it should be noted that as you get closer to 0, it gets harder and harder to continuously improve.
So a 2 sec reduction closer to 0 is more impressive than say 32 sec vs 30 secs. Percentage wise, it’s a big speedup.
FACEPALM
Please tell us we can turn the TAA off… The ghosting in the motions scenes looks so horrible…
Even though I am not a dude with mental illness who has a thing against women in video games like everyone else in this comment section, I still think this game looks so bad, the deserty thing they are going for makes the game look so ugly and bland
Something about it feels so dirt cheap.
And I was thinking the exact opposite, since its always something green
Still looks better than the ugly protagonist which manages to be uglier than your avatar pic.
The group that believes men can have babies calling someone else mentally ill over their exposure to laughable virtue signaling. The actual mental illness. No one had a problem with women in games until you freaks made it mandatory and your fundamentalist marxist cult purity test.
Do you think any of the coders who implemented these new technologies were women? Do you care or do you only care about pretend “empowered” women?
At least someone recognized the obvious allowed racial bigotry and misogyny. It’s pretty disgusting.
In any event, to the ACTUAL game, I don’t think it looks bad, just incomplete. I bet by release, things will be better.
Why do you post on a site that the owner specifically says that rayzism is allowed? You shoudn’t be here put0.
Show me where the owner says that. Then we’ll go from there.
Oh, right, you can’t, because the Terms of Use says otherwise: https://www.dsogaming.com/terms-of-use/
The Disqus platform also openly prohibits what you’re claiming. So, you’re full of it.

Where does the owner state this? Neither this site’s terms nor Disqus’ support you.
He did state it multiple times, dummy.
I’m so dumb, but you’ve yet to provide anything. Cool.
Then again, because these comments continue unmoderated, I’m inclined to leave this as the only thing I’ll ever agree with you on.
Just search DSOG comment policy polls, he let’s the public choose and allows racism in the comments.
Yep. Now I see it.
Ok, now you know, so either accept it or leave, your choice.
Accept it? Nah, I’m good. Won’t be back.
That said, I’m always happy to chat ya away from here.
a game made to appease people who don’t enjoy or play games is on your side a good thing…
sorry but there is nothing that hate more but propaganda.
Who is it made to “appease” to? Based on what? How? Where did you learn this?
Clearly there is no age requirement to post here.
HELLO !!! are you blind ???? COUNT how many games with men as characters have been released against the ocean of stroing womon…its not about hATING ITS ABOUT THIS BEING clearly something everyone hates and avoids and that is PROPAGANDA! no one likes it no asked for it.
Listen! do you want more ask a h*mo why they hate the asexual!
Meh…
Wow sata got a big bump too!
Looks generic and boring and cringe.
what’re the other upcoming games that gonna use the DirectStorage?
Forspoken: BLM edition
Luminous Productions:
If you criticize this game, then you must be racist.
Seriously though….
This game still looks very repetitive with boring combat.
Indeed, as i was saying to local r-tarded user @pb@nuktuk1984:disqus , all those great technological progress gets wasted on these trash games, which ultimately defeats the purpose of progress.
Your mother is telling you to get off the internet and do your chores.
Your mother is telling me to do her.
That would be a decent insult if not for the fact that we both know you can’t talk to women.
And your predictable reply is the only insult you have, too bad for you that women don’t give a sh#t about how much you respect ugly virtual woman.
“predictable reply”
“Your mother is telling me to do her.”
Absolutely braindead levels of self-awareness ?
Lmao someone is mad at the truth, as if you don’t insult multiple users with the same incel theme. Here’s what you said earlier in regards to my insult: “a decent insult”. Don’t walk back now, r-tard.
There was an “if” condition attached to that bozo. It’s actually impressive how consistently you struggle with basic logical reasoning.
I insult many of you with the same type of insult because you’re all complaining about the same thing, because you know you have zero chances of interacting with real people without seeming like you have weaponized autism.
The condition, which is basically the only insult you know, hinges on your fantasy of what you think my life is, which i’m happy to say you are wrong. Not surprised at all that you don’t own your past statements.
“I insult many of you with the same type of insult”
And thanks for proving me right yet again mr. braindead level of self-awareness, and your excuse is poor, one of your lib friends can at least be creative with insults by slandering people as pedophiles. Just as i can insult you as a r-tard, your mother a wh0r3, etc at least be creative with the insults lmao.
I didn’t think it was possible but you’re actually dumber than I thought.
“Just as i can insult you as a r-tard, your mother a wh0r3, etc at least be creative with the insults lmao.”
The fact that you think calling people’s moms wh*res and repeating my insults is creative is just the icing on the cake.
Keep seething.
You are also a dumbf*ck and a liar, but no surprises here.
“The fact that you think calling people’s moms wh*res and repeating my insults is creative is just the icing on the cake.”
Any insult other than “incel” would be creative coming from you, that’s all i’m saying mr. bad faith reading…
I’ve already done that mr.cannot read ?
This is genuinely embarrassing for you jeez.
You did? Great, now go tell your mama (after i’m done with her).
There Mr.Creativity goes again reusing the same insults lmao
Seethe.
Off topic: anyone seeing a lot of “content unavailable” comments lately, or is it just me?
On-topic: Game is so generic i tought it was already released.
Thanks for the tip, i guess the upvote thing is a bug of sorts. I only have thot bots on my block list so i don’t get harassed to join a dating site.
Interesting. I don’t know why people get their feelings hurt so easily and block others anyway.
I agree with you but no one is forcing anyone to read anyone’s comments. Just scroll past them if it’s a known offender of yours.
You are right. I guess our perspectives are different. When I started posting online on Bulletin Board Systems back in 1985 we didn’t have any options like today so we learned to make do. Most of us just accepted the rare individual that was annoying. I guess my roots are still with me in my thinking today.
Sounds like cope? Any examples of this kind of spam? Most people block because they are offended.
I have blocked tons of bots that goes upvoting posts and spamming my notifications. As for Joe blobbers, i like arguing with him, even tho everyone knows he is a SC shill.
You don’t speak for everyone. It’s trash? Cool. Don’t buy it.
its trash its gonna sell anyway and people will allow this *developers * to continue releasing game no none playing people
What “non-playing people” are we talking about here?
sjw and political propaganda
Based on it being a black female? How exactly was this “forced”? In some cases, I might agree, like the latest Life Is Strange game, but here? How?
How many black women will actually buy a game like this? Be honest with yourself.
Why does that matter?
Real representation matters.
Agreed. So, who has been underrepresented that should be and why for this particular game?
by political i meant homosexuals but since im asexual , not because i want to like many others seemed convinced that i made my self like this, it not its from a chronic depression that lasted for years called anhedonia, homos hate asexulas because we prove that its not a choice a mental issue,don’t believe me search the web
and no i hate being this way, there is nothing i can do and i would do anything to be normal.
If i was 15 i would have wishlisted it. But now, it looks too generic for me. The abilities may have some good visual effects but jumping in the air all the time trying to fight against spongy enemies in a lifeless world as it seems, its a no go from me.
0 to woke in less than 2 secs
Oh cool, new GPU tech, let’s see the prices of GPU….uhm yeah, f*** off.
I’ll continue playing on my Switch.
A game for children trapped in adult soy bodies
But it has screen space reflections and ambient occlusion!
don’t support forwoken.
LOL.
another stange womannnon ? ew no…
sjw bait lets see how many dislike it, how many pathetic human beings dare to type..
They showed off Direct Storage on SATA SSDs and HDDs which don’t meet the listed requirements for it on MS’s own page so them testing it is pointless.
Why so much hatred you guys? You’re too filled with it. Seriously.
If you plan to hang around here then you better have some thick skin. This isn’t a safe-place to hide in. Gamers say what they really think here.
Also, you can say what you think about a game. It’s a two way street.
Did I come to OAG page or John’s small website? ?
Its the ret*rds of the OAG that came here to infest this page. Sad. It used to be better.
You used to be a regular at OAG, lmao. Jews and loyalty, or the lack of it.
