Friday at Playstation 5 The action RPG demo has become available The prophesied by Square Enix and Luminous Productions, creators of Final Fantasy XV. Channel ElAnalistDeBits tested the demo and compared the graphics of the game with the very first trailer shown in 2020.
- Three graphics modes are available in the demo: quality, ray tracing, and performance.
- The trial version contains a portion of the game from the pre-release build. No serious graphics or performance changes should be expected at the January release.
- In quality mode, better textures, draw distance and higher average resolution up to 1728 p.
- Ray tracing mode reduces the resolution to an average of 1512pand also degrades texture quality and draw distance, but improves shadows on some elements. However, ray tracing is not applied to the shadows of the vegetation, which make up the majority of the environment, as well as reflections and global illumination.
- Performance mode has the same texture clipping and draw distances as ray traced mode, and also limits dynamic resolution to 1440p using the interim reconstruction. Despite the visual simplifications, the mode doesn’t deliver a stable 60 frames per second.
- Support option abandoned 120Hz, however, limits the maximum resolution in all modes to 1440p. Ray tracing and quality modes achieve 40FPS at 120Hz while the quality mode remains at 60 FPS.
- Compared to the 2020 debut trailer, it is evident that the game has undergone a major downgrade in terms of lighting, textures, geometry and detail. The author of the comparison notes that in visual terms the final result turned out to be far from what was originally promised..
Forspoken will be released January 24th on PlayStation 5 and PC.
