Forspoken - New Cutscene shown on Netflix Geek Week
- Thread starter benzy
- Start date
The visuals look slightly improved... But I don't know what to think about the game anymore. I'm still hoping they make it good somehow.
Exactly how I feel. Every time they show more of this game I get less and less interested.
Why was this in the Netflix showcase? That dialogue felt better than the trailer-cut stuff we heard so far btw. It actually made me feel very at ease in terms of voice direction, which is good.
But weird choice to show this here and this particular cutscene.

I think that is the best cutscene and voice direction shown us from the game yet. I mean it's a random ass cutscene to show in a random ass netflix event, but I thought the performances were pretty good here.
The archiver sounds like an "isekai" character who truly believes in what she says while Frey conveys the natural reaction of a person playing the game if said person wasn't really into games in the first place. Like it all must sound so ridiculous.

Yeah. It felt pretty natural, like you expect such a conversation to sound.
Needs more 'fuck!' so people can come in here and complain about Frey again for the 9000th time.
Odd cutscene to show, but I liked the way the Archivist described Tanta Syla(?). She seems to really be putting those muscles to good use.

Interesting cutscene. Looks like they put a ton of effort into the animations and scene transitions. Also, the general acting/ banter felt natural, pretty good for a Square Enix game, where they are kind of lacking in this area generally. Felt like I was watching a show.
I'm pretty interested in the game. I hope they continue to give it any needed polish before release.

Agreeing with what everyone here has already said: Good voice direction, and even the facial animation is solid. However, this was such a bizarre cutscene to show off. Zero context in regards to anything that's going on, and gives no reason for why the viewer should care. The dark archive hall didn't really help with things either, visually.
It was a good cutscene, direction wise, but a random one to just show off.

Oh I liked this, it is quite random for those who may haven't watched anything about the game, but it's probably early game ^^.
I can't wait to see more of this game :)

I missed this because I skipped the preshow.
Context for why it was shown here:
Ella Balinska the voice of Fey was being interviewed because she is also in the Netflix Resident Evil show. On the way out they showed the Forsaken clip. I guess SE didn't want to give Netflix a full exclusive trailer or anything big but also didn't want to miss the extra exposure since she was doing the interview anyway.

Really really hope this is good. I like JRPGS and love a lot about the genre (music, art, crazy inventive worlds, colourful palettes, compelling casts) but I do wish we'd see more JRPGs that temper that often borderline-obnoxious anime-ness and dramatic Japanese Soap Opera-ness that often seems inextricable from the genre; the Xenoblades, Final Fantasies, Bravely series, and Kingdom Hearts are great, but they can be a bit cloying or eye-rolling at times with their anime-isms and corniness
While still clearly very corny, and with a lot of anime-isms (it's an Isekai) Forspoken looks to be a cool blend of JRPG and WRPG in tone and presentation.

Ooohh, I didn't bother to rewind, because I'm on mobile.
Thanks for the context. Makes sense!
I'm pretty excited for this game, as long as reviews are good I'm gonna eye sales like a hawk and nab it as soon as it hits 50%
No problem. I was confused as well. I didn't know she was in the RE show but it makes sense I guess.
Huh, that was kinda good...?
If that level of quality in music/writing/VO can be expected for all of the cutscenes, that'd be very cool.
At the same time, did the faces get worse? Or am I just getting used to next gen? Everyone looks weirdly smooth...

Ha, seriously. For me, it's Skate Story > Oxenfree 2 > This random cutscene.
Voice acting and directing looked good, but yeah, dead eyes and puppet like mouth flaps (of the archivist) looked weird at times.
What has Nteflix to do with the game?
Also. The facial animations don't look top notch tbh.
I thought we went past uncanny valley for quite some time. Here it is back on track.

looks great, fantastic animation - especially the way the archivist was shifting that hammer in her hand at the beginning - but the writing really bugs me. Feels like this could be a clip from any Marvel movie, and i mean that in a bad way. But i guess that's the point of making this an isekai story instead of fully committing to the fantasy setting.
Some facial animation aside that was a good ass cutscene.
Bruh what??
It's a hella compressed video.
