Forspoken writer Gary Whitta on building its "lustrous new fantasy world".

Interesting tidbits:
  • Square Enix reached out Whitta as far back as 2017.
  • Amy Henning worked on the story concept in 2019.
  • There are some more "really impressive names" of writers yet to be revealed.
So yeah this is without a doubt the same game Tabata started before he left SE if people were still doubting that, also interesting to note is that during the TGS livestream Co-Director Terada mentioned that he supervises on the scenario and events too.

"Terada: I basically manage the development team, solving all kinds of issues as they arise and ensuring the development is progressing as planned."
"Terada: My main job is leading the game designer team, which means I am in charge of supervising the games scenario, events and battles."

That IGN footage performance looked terrible, other previews like Eurogamer's showed a much better framerate even with dips here and there.

EDIT: Removed, oh.

The game has been rated M by the ESRB for:
  • Strong Language
  • Violence
Rating Summary

This is an action role-playing game in which player assume the role of a woman (Frey) who finds herself teleported to a fantasy world. As players try to find their way home, they can explore and traverse terrain, interact with characters, and battle fantastical creatures. Players use a magical vambrace and other attacks (e.g., leach, disperse, tendril) to defeat zombie-like creatures and monsters in frenetic combat. Battles are accompanied by colorful effects, screen-shaking, and cries of pain. Cutscenes depict additional acts of violence: a character attempting to jump off a building; monsters killing civilians; a character held at gunpoint. The words "f**k" and "sh*t" are heard in the game.
--------

Honestly from the stuff shown to me the game looked more like a T.

There's gonna be a GDC talk about Forspoken later this month so we'll probably start seeing new gameplay and promotional video things ramp up now. This video will be recorded so you can watch it afterwards if you don't catch it live.

They'll also have a GDC talk that focuses on the AMD Fidelity FX stuff. This video however is not being recorded and it seems the only way to watch this one is to have a GDC pass to watch it live.

Moved to january 24, 2023. Fortunately there'll be new this summer.

Probably for the best. The fall was getting crowded, plus it will give the team more time to polish the game.

Personally, I have high hopes for this one. I think it looks great. The writing team has a pedigree, and the Luminous Productions team always seemed more "next-gen" focused.
