The Unreal 4 engine is quite popular, but one of the reasons why Sony’s first party games from Naughty Dog, Sucker Punch, Santa Monica Studio, and Insomaniac look so good, is that these games are developed with each studio’s own in-house engine, and specific tool sets.įor all the criticism that FFXV drew in some sectors, it wasn’t a bad game, and it actually had a distinct look with some strengths (and weakness) unique to the Luminous Engine. Square ditched this engine after Final Fantasy XV, as most of its most important projects (Dragon Quest XI, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Kingdom Hearts 3) have been developed with Epic’s Unreal 4 engine. To be honest, this might actually be a good thing. The Return of the Luminous Engine Forspoken marks the return of Luminous Engine, and as a ‘next gen’ exclusive, it looks the part.
Schyman, on the other hand, got his start writing music for Hollywood, but has had a prolific video game career with games like Bioshock, and Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor and War under his musical credits.įorspoken has a ‘top tier’ story writing, and musical team, while most of us have been focused on Final Fantasy XVI, Forspoken is a AAA title through and through, and it has a good chance at turning into something special.

In its writing credits, the game lists Amy Henning (Legacy of Kain, Uncharted Series, Jak and Daxter Series), and Gary Whitta (The Book of Eli, and Star Wars: Rogue One). Takeshi Aramaki, and Takeshi Terada have been tasked with directing duties, but this Japanese Action-RPG will have a western soul, thanks to an all star cast of Western writers, and Musicians.
The game is the creation of Luminous Productions, a division of Square Enix created from Final Fantasy XV staff members. In this world, Frey acquires magical powers, and judging by the trailer, these gifts range from combat powers to world traversal abilities. The Final Fantasy XV Team Joins Forces With Hollywood Caliber Western TalentĪ charismatic New Yorker, Fray Holland (played by Ella Balinska), falls into some sort of portal/rabbit hole and is transported into a massive fantasy world. As an open-world action RPG fan, Forspoken, Square Enix’s newest PS5 exclusive title, has me nearly as excited about its prospects as God of War: Ragnarok itself. While most of the focus of the recent PlayStation 5 game showcase has gone to titles like God of War: Ragnarok, and Spider Man 2.
