Unknown 9, AKA Indian Forspoken (Poospoken!
), AKA AAA Westoid Tumblrslop from Hentai Namcoal, which for the past 4 years has released 2 novels, one comic book, and one audiobook to hype up the worldbuilding for a new multi-media franchise, and even gave out the game for free for the AMDcels who brought the new chipset, has released, and to the surprise of no one, it's total dogshit with a peak of 240 players
Copetext:
This game is faithful to its title, it is so Unknown, to the extent that not even the most rent-free G*merGater chuds and KotakuinAutism spergs have cared about it until just a few days ago, it does not even has a fricking Wikipedia page, and as of 19 October 2024, the only 4chan /v/ thread making fun of it that I was able to find was quickly deleted by the Jannisaries for some reason!

Bandai Namco's latest 'sweet baby' game, Unknown 9: Awakening, drops in 5 days and seems like another Concord flop.

There’s almost no online interaction, pre-orders are unclear, and the only Steam comment asks why they're making ugly women. Are you excited? 💀😆 pic.twitter.com/Ezk4E1RBb2
@MARFAN_EATS_DOODOO on this very website summarized it as:
The website is just a bunch of random stills with vague lines about the story and universe and then a section about the actress, whose most notable appearance is from that Witcher TV series. And she visibly looks better irl than in game for some reason.
Edit: Holy shit it has an audiobook, a comic, and 2 novels out already, one of them came out 4 years ago:
https://www.amazon.com/Genesis-Book-One-Trilogy/dp/1999229703
https://www.bandainamcoent.com/games/unknown9/en/products/comics/torment/
https://www.bandainamcoent.com/games/unknown9/en/products/podcasts/out-of-sight/
And all of this was done as "worldbuilding" for this game. Which seems like it's going to flop hard without anybody knowing.

I still find it crazy how Square Enix gives Team Asano like 1/6 of the budget for their games (compared to Forspoken) and yet they still almost always make critically acclaimed modern jrpgs, yet they are still convinced that the genre need modernizing with a zoomer-tier dialogue spouting protagonist and gameplay with as much depth as the OG Dragon Warrior without the difficulty

big budgets mean big executive meddling. concord got so much money because it was jim ryan's baby, and jim ryan proudly hadn't played a video game since the days of arcades when he was a child, and regularly would talk about how video games were a subpar medium compared to movies.
studios that get small budgets get ignored by execs and so can actually be video games

Anyone who has worked for a time understands how disconnected executives can be. We live in a society
where the actual people working are nowhere near the ones making decisions for stuff, it's instead the sale people and sweet-talkers that specialise in selling poo to people for the highest possible price. And these people are shallow and used to creating and making decisions based on pretty globo homo pictures, buzzwords and sales figures.

Austerity drives innovation / performance.
Basically no money means you have to actually be creative with your decisions to stretch the budget.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Well yeah, but you think by now the higher ups would know that budget doesn't relate to how good a product will be/do, and won't be like
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
They don't because the higher ups generally do not understand what videogames are or why people like them. Just that they have the potential to make money as the largest form of entertainment.
So they are dazzled by hacks (e.g. Druckmann) with corpo speak e.g. this first-person puzzle-platformer will be an innovative framework in which to explore diverse perspectives that will also create synergy with our multimedia franchise across different mediums delivering our core principles.
And the same investors are insulated by their indifference and disdain for videogames as toys. Legit if these old fricks just asked their zoomer grandkid whether the game they invested 100 million into 'seemed skibidi' or not, then they might have a clue on whether to get involved so the product isn't a complete pile of shit.

It is so weird that like 90% of the jokes about homer were of him being unbelievably cartoonishly fat. he's so fat you can shoot a cannon at him and he's fine! he's so fat he can be a boxer by people just punching his flab! his fatness is the first thing anyone notices about him
meanwhile he's 6 feet tall and 239lb, making him in the top half skinniest american men

The first time I heard about this game was BBC talking about how revolutionary it was to have an Indian in a video game. I figured it must have been the start of development, but nope, released a few days later

Yes she is, Farah is the daughter of the Maharajah of India, whose country the Persians are invading
https://princeofpersia.fandom.com/wiki/Farah_(Sands_of_Time)
You are probably confusing Farah with Kaileena, who is a different character and is a Persian Goddess, she is therefore built for BBC and not BWC like how the Poojeeta is:
Kaileena also canonically created Shahdee as her s*x slave, who also probably has the most famous butt in vidya history after Cammy from Street Fighter
I FRICKING HATE HOW THERE IS SO FEW HENTAI ART OF THE BIGGEST SANDBUNNIES IN VIDYA HISTORY

I got Starwars Outlaws free cause I got an Intel chip thingie and I was like, oh cool, free game. Then I realized it hadn't even released yet.
Giving AAA titles away free that have not even been released is a sign from the studios that the game will be dog shit (and they know it) and they need to pump up numbers lmao

the female doctor who had the lowest ratings the show has ever had in the 60 years it was on air. the black doctor who that followed her gets less than half the ratings she got. it's an absolute disaster, but it doesn't really matter because the bbc gets their money by force and they don't care if no one watches it

Oh...they started developing this game when it wasn't completely obvious thay The Witcher was shit and run by women who actively hated the property and seethed when Cavill refused to get naked for them. Explains the Yennifer's inclusion as main character.
