After that demo i'll agree.

Cap..

thinking of buying dual shock controller for pc. Hows is the native support on PC?

 

[Lokaum D+]

Lol

 

[OsirisBlack]

I’m very curious to see how well this does. It seems very divisive. I was hoping for more but the demo didn’t help this game in my opinion.

 

[Punished Miku]

The marketing team is putting on a brave face. Admirable.

 

[TonyK]

So, if I disable haptics is not immersive?

 

[Paulxo87]

The entire outside section of the demo is over exposed and is just bright white. Idk what the fuck is going on with this game but it's a trainwreck

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Is this an out of season April Fool’s joke?

It only works well with steam i think, and not every game has the complete support for the shitty gimmicks.

For the other stores you need to use xinput or some shit like that.

The xone/sex controller is the only one that work on every store by default.

 

[Carmen Winstead]

If someone asked me for the prime example of a generic and average game I would let him play this game.
Had hopes after they announced this but after the demo I just can't understand why developers don't learn from the ideas and faults of other devs.

Oh man, if only people who get more immersed into a game by having a dildo in their hands and hard triggers to push were an april joke...

Someone signal the marketing team of this game:

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

This game has the depth of a tech demo

 

[Spyxos]

It is so next gen, that it is still secretly a ps4 game.

 

[GymWolf]

This game has the depth of a tech demo

It's actually the opposite, that's why people cancelled the demo after 5 min of not being able to do jack shit with the combat or traversal.

 

[vpance]

This is going to be like a Sunset Overdrive tier bomba.

I am not sure. Last time i checked it's Steam community page was really active.

tfw tech demos are more deep than your game

 

[GymWolf]

tfw tech demos are more deep than your game

"My game" is called 5vs1 and it's not very deep, it can be played with just one hand and one stick, like pong, so you are probably right.

 

[FunkMiller]

Immersed... in shit.

 

[vpance]

I am not sure. Last time i checked it's Steam community page was really active.

I forgot it's on PC too. Yeah I suppose that will help it out a bit, until the negative reviews start rolling in.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Nothing builds immersion like running around a medieval fantasy world decked out in PlayStation branded apparel.

Don’t bother you’ll tear your hair out

 

[3liteDragon]

That demo didn't do this game any favours lol, idk abt that next-gen immersion specifically.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Someone signal the marketing team of this game:

What else are they going to do,...shut up?.

Even with all this marketing, this game is not gaining traction.

They are panicking

 

[SlimySnake]

Start with next gen graphics then we can worry about immersion.

Arguably the ugliest next gen game ive seen and i had the displeasure of watching 56 Deathloop and Ghostwire tokyo State of Plays.

They both look much better than forspoken tbh.

yes. thats what i was say.

 

[M1chl]

YUP

 

[Pelta88]

Day 1.

 

[semiconscious]

that 'no limits cloak' has to be about as non-immersive as you can get. what's immersive about the protagonist in a fantasy game running around wearing a corporate logo?...

 

[TintoConCasera]

Flopspoken

 

[anothertech]

I love particles and shit. They got my demographic down lol. I'm actually excited for this shit show haha

I also loved and played the fuck out of Second Son so..

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I felt like I was trying to force myself to like this game during the demo. I couldn't get the gameplay to really click with me. I kept trying cause some people said once it clicks it's great blah blah blah. I think I'm a pass.

 

[Melfice7]

You can try to polish a turd but it will still be a turd

Dual Shock (PS4 pad) works great on PC. Steam has native support. As for both Steam games and non Steam games you can use DS4Windows (https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases). It even works well with Bluetooth. If your PC doesn't have it you can buy the ASUS dongle (usb-bt500 or usb-bt400). DS4Windows makes the PS4 controller look like a 360 to Windows, so you'll miss out on the Playstation button prompts but otherwise DS4Windoes is great, you can customize a lot of things. Add gyro aiming, remap any button to what ever key or button sequence/macro you want.

As for Dual Sense (PS5) that is another story, it too works pretty well with both Steam and DS4Windows but you'll lose out on proper haptic vibrations unless the game supports it AND you have to use it wired for it to work. Also, the haptic feedback doesn't feel right when a game sends vibrations meant for rumble. I would only use the pad with a game that support the DS5 pad. Which some apparently do on PC.

Personally, I'm sticking to DS4 pads for most games, but if there is good support for proper haptic feedback in Forespoken I'll at least try it out as I already have a PS5 pad and really liked it when I tried the PS5 demo.

 

[Jimmy_liv]

Sorry to say it but it needs a 5 year delay. It doesn't look good, play well or have anything interesting.

It's also got fairly poor voice acting. It's like a budget version of Kena!

 

[Physiognomonics]

The real problem of this game is how it plays.
But it has others problems:
- The game is aimed at adults (17+), not children, but features a (annoyingly chatty) teen for its main protagonist. This could be OK in a mainstream Final Fantasy game but it's not for a new franchise.
- All style, no substance (again there is no Final Fantasy franchise to save it)
- That little touch of woke, because why not we weren't sure the game was going to fail.

 

[Fbh]

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

I'm hoping the actual game is entertaining, but to call this "next-gen immersion" is just a straight-up porky.

Stop lying SE.

 

[Humdinger]

Not impressed.

 

[Jose92]

Next gen immersion in PS3 era resolution with ps4 graphics.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I think Square needs to like...

Sell a Blu-Ray with three hours of ultra high def footage of them absolutely destroying anything that even touched the development of FFXV.

That's how you recoup and put your engine to good use.

 

[lh032]

im still 50/50 on this game.
Magic looks interesting, but the world is bland as fuck

 

[Fake]

Is trashtalk the new ray-tracing?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I think this will be a stinker and crash and burn Square, prepare yourselves. (although Sony bucks probs paid for a fair chunk of the dev I'd guess)

 

[fart town usa]

That is so incredibly lame.

Everyone knows to just go to TJ Maxx if you want tacky PlayStation branded gear.
