During the trailer entitled Play Like Never Before , the Japanese giant has inserted a specific wording that accompanies the short game sequences taken from Forspoken. According to what is written on the screen, Forspoken will be an exclusive PC and PlayStation 5 for quite some time: it will in fact be possible to play the Square Enix title on the two platforms in the period between January 24, 2023 and January 23, 2025.

Yeah, the fact it was a two year exclusive was known from a previous advertising campaign.

Weirdly on the MS store for some reason.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Until these games say they're making an Xbox version, I wouldn't assume. Didn't some dev come out recently and say Sony didn't pay to extend, they just didn't see a xbox version being successful? Xbox may not offer anything for a port.

 

[ManaByte]

For the PC version.

 

[feynoob]

2 years is too long.
I can get married and have a child during that period.

 

[Captain Toad]

I read this same thread about Final Fantasy VII Remake years ago.

Where does it say it's coming to Xbox?

 

[reksveks]

For the PC version.

I meant for the PC version, just rather random to have it and it was announced ages ago.

 

[NightmareFarm]

Knew this would happen when it was revealed the exclusivity wears off after two years. I just wish it wasn't bottlenecked by the series s.

 

[Iced Arcade]

Lol keep it

 

[Captain Toad]

2 years is too long.

And, for most marriages these days, divorced too.

Doesn't matter - the game looks like hot mobile trash anyways with empty cities and ugly character faces.

Right because graphics are the ONLY thing that matters...

Also BOTW is barren as fuck yet no one complains about it when nintendo does it.

God of War 2018 made me become a father, so I guess it made me a better father by default.

I complained many times about BOTW when it came out. The game has atrocious performance problems, there is no denying that. But when you put Zelda and Nintendo together you are not allowed to critize it. Because remember...Nintendo can never do wrong according to the blind fanbase.

and I never said graphics was the only that matters - you are complaining about Series S holding it back when my point is that the game already looks like trash anyways even on higher end systems. So actually YOU are the one complaining that the visuals/tech will be held back due to a lower end console machine, but graphics isn't everything I thought?

 

[Captain Toad]

There you are with your trolling comments. I what way does Forspoken look like a mobile game?

 

[Thirty7ven]

That’s right around the corner not bad I’m happy for Xbox only players.

You realise the main appeal of the game is the fluid and deep magic combat system(like the appeal of character action games such as DMC and Bayonetta) and the deep traversal mechanics. The game clearly isn't for you since you're looking more from the lens of an open world fan.

Also just lol at assuming I was only referring to graphics by "bottlenecked by series s". That's merely the tip of the iceberg, it also holds far less RAM and is weaker in other areas which will hinder game design as the baseline will have to be set for series s.

 

[FritzJ92]

Times exclusives for periods that long are automatically a pass for me. Even though I own a PS. I just don't support shitty practices like that. 6 months seems long enough.

 

[Kvally]

 

[shiru]

I don't think anyone asked, but "thanks", Square.

Woah, BOTW out of nowhere.

 

[Elder Legend]

You gonna tell me this looks good or next-gen? This looks like a high end PS3 game if even that.

 

[GymWolf]

Finally an infamous game on xbox.

 

[BennyBlanco]

This game is gonna flop so bad

 

[Deerock71]

2 years is too long.
I can get married and have a child during that period.

It's very difficult to get a girl pregnant when that's happening.

 

[Killer8]

I'm sure Xbox gamers are devastated.

 

[touchfuzzy]

I miss the part where it says it will come out on Xbox. Aren't Xbox gamers still waiting for that FFVII Remake port after it's exclusivity window was out a while ago too?

 

[adamsapple]

Oh no ..

anyway ..

 

[shiru]

I'm sure Xbox gamers are devastated.

That the game will release on Xbox? Yes.

 

[Elder Legend]

This game is gonna flop so bad

That it will.

 

[DarkMage619]

I'm assuming Sony is going to lock this game down forever like Final Fantasy 7 remake. I hope Xbox gamers can cope.

 

[NightmareFarm]

This game will flop because character action games are niche. This game is a character action game at heart dressed up as an open world RPG.

 

[Kacho]

So no Tactics Ogre on Xbox but a years late pity port of this turd?

Square please!

 

[Topher]

Also just lol at assuming I was only referring to graphics by "bottlenecked by series s". That's merely the tip of the iceberg, it also holds far less RAM and is weaker in other areas which will hinder game design as the baseline will have to be set for series s.

What game design will be hindered due to Series S?

 

[ReBurn]

2 years is too long.
I can get married and have a child during that period.

You only need 9 months for that

 

[Kvally]

Minimum PC specs for Forsaken are 4GB RAM and Geforce 510. And an HDD.

 

[NightmareFarm]

What game design will be hindered due to Series S?

The Series S has considerably less RAM than the other 9th gen consoles. In fact it is closer to 8th gen in that department.

This article and headline are potentially misleading.

The end of an exclusivity window does not at all mean a confirmation that the game is coming to other platforms. FFVII Remake also had the same note, but it was not released on Xbox after it expired.

All this means is that it will NOT come to Xbox before that date, but it doesn't confirm that it'll come after.

 

[Beer Baelly]

We got Crackdown

 

[Topher]

Yes, I know. Now explain how 6 GB less RAM is going to impact game design specifically.

 

[Black_Stride]

Wait the PC version is only coming out 2025?

 

[Godot25]

Honestly, Square can keep it on Playstation. It looks pretty bad

 

[GHG]

That’s right around the corner not bad I’m happy for Xbox only players.

Wait the PC version is only coming out 2025?

No, the PC version is the same release window as the PS5 version AFAIK, might even be same day.

 

[GymWolf]

We got Crackdown

I like crackdown but i always felt like melee was the bread and butter, if you wanna feel like shooting shit from your hands, infamous is the way to go.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Keep the pos.

 

[reksveks]

Wait the PC version is only coming out 2025?

Nope same day as ps5

 

[The Cockatrice]

Critics will love it, you know why. Common sense people will prolly rate it 6-7 at best. Trolls will give it a 0/1, you know why. You can quote me when it launches.

 

[GHG]

Interesting to see people who claim to game on multiple platforms saying "keep it".

 

[Negotiator101]

God of War 2018 made me become a father, so I guess it made me a better father by default.

Jesus.

 

[clarky]

Sony doing xbox users a solid here. Game looks average at best.

 

[clarky]

Sony, making better father's since 2018. LMAO
