Luminous Productions is so comfortable with Forspoken’s status as a technical show-piece that it’s even pushed a demo live to PSN, using The Game Awards as a launchpad to show the world how well the game plays – and just how nice it looks.

So I don’t think it would be possible to have Forspoken on PS4 at all, in terms of the engine, or graphics, or anything that we’re doing with gameplay.” “Bringing that full power out was something we’ve been aiming for since day one. “From the very early stages of game design, we always thought about doing something that could only be done on PS5,“ says, Takeshi Aramaki, head of studio at Luminous Productions and Forspoken director, via interpreter. The game has gone through something of a rehabilitation in the eyes of the public, making up for a terrible meme of a marketing video that rallied every malcontent gamer out there against the studio back in August.Īnd there’s a reason for that Luminous Studios are pulling out all the stops to show you why this is a game that could only run on PS5, why this is a true new-gen RPG experience, and why you should really give a shit about what it’s trying to do.

After a hands-on with the game earlier this year, I was invited back to play a more advanced build of the game a few weeks ago, and it’s looking better than ever. I’ve been banging the ‘ Forspoken is good, actually’ drum for a while now. Why? Because it’s one of the few non-Sony first-party titles that’s being treated as something of a new-gen exclusive a game that has the potential to show off what that imposing PS5 hardware can do. Forspoken is one of the most highly-anticipated games of the year, and though it’ll see a launch on PC, all eyes are on the PlayStation 5 version of the game more than anything else.
