Deep Down's Trailer Makes it Feel Like Anything But a Medieval Title

The game seemed to me like a rehash of Dragon's Dogma or better yet, its older brother. It kind of looked like Dark Souls by that I mean it had a more serious and grounded look than Dragon's Dogma. Giving Capcom a stronger foot in the genre since Dragon's Dogma didn't really find its audience.

However, after checking out the latest preview, it doesn't seem like your typical fantasy title but it does seem kind of familiar. What concerns me is the narrative.

[mewhy32]

Oh man this game is going to be awesome. Thank goodness that it's exclusive to PS4 and not being held back by the bone.

[OlgerO]

SHHuusshhh, dont you know that you are hurting poor major nelsons feelings by calling it the xbone.

[MestreRothN4G]

Yet he is speaking the truth.

As we know, multiplat will have to deal with limitations from both platforms, while exclusive games won't be affected by the other platform's problems.

I'm happy that this is being developed with the most powerful plat on mind, not the weakest.

[dale_denton]

XBONE!

[ForgottenProphecy]

That's pretty ignorant. Just because PS4 is more powerful than the XBONE on paper, doesn't mean games this early in the life cycle are going to take 100% full advantage of this advantage. We won't start noticing the difference in exclusives much later in PS4's life cycle.

[Irishguy95]

You're completely wrong. Dunno why I have to repeat this or why it is hard to understand, the Ps4 and Xbone are extremely easy to develop for, they are basically a set of PC's where the PS4 is just more powerful. No they won't take 100% advantage and no that doesn't matter. If Devs want to they can EASILY make Ps4 better looking. Go onto PC battlefield 3, turn the settings down to low/medium until you get to the Ps3 and Xbox 360's graphics. That is how close these two consoles are, it's like just turning off settings on PC to higher the framerate.

Install a game on two PC's

Both have core i5s
Both have 8 gigs of Ram
1 has an Nvidia 660ti
1 has an Nvidia 680gtx

Which will run better?

There is no **** with the cell processor this gen. It's straight forward and easy for Devs to max out. And of course, time goes by, newer engines will be developed, however most Devs should be right at home in these two consoles.

[torchic]

honestly no one knows. we could see differences straight out the gate, or later on. Battlefield 4 will tell all

but man I struggle to see anything coming up in the near future on Xbox One looking anywhere near as great as deep down. maybe Halo 5 will be I don't know, but deep down is other world stuff.

actually scared for what Sony Santa Monica & Naughty Dog will show.

[bsquwhere]

@Irishguy95 I don't know how many times I've told your stupid troll ass that you don't know sh!t about sh!t. You're a sad and pathetic little man. Why is that so hard to understand.

[My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante]

Too bad it's being held back by the PS4 by being exclusive when it could actually have full potential on PC.

[mewhy32]

Well i can't argue against that. But if it were coming to PC ....like most bone software will be....then it wouldn't be "EXCLUSIVE". LOL Oh and I can't wait to play titanfall on my gaming pc.

[Irishguy95]

That's true it's being held back by consoles already, but at least the difference isn't as bad as how much the other PC games got held back. Ps4 is a decent budget range PC now and PC gamers get to have the limit of the Ps3 and 360 moved up to Ps4 and X1

[thrust]

That's all the ps4 is tho a low range pc nothin else :( I was hoping for something new I like features on my tech.

[MestreRothN4G]

Why would they give the game for free (aka releasing it for the pirates platform)?

[saint_seya]

Why this Troll named dante doesnt get banned alredy, never has anything good to say besides trolling.. I mean its even worse than those new x-box fans trolls.. Because he only comments to troll in Sony articles..
Dude does your pc not give enought so u have to come to troll here...
Noone cares about you, dont you realize that, go play sims, or some simulator, maybe an rts or whatever makes you happy.. But just stop comming.

[joab777]

Was hoping for next gen dragons dogma. And I don't think its endgame was bad...it was amazing actually. The problem was a lack of a much harder ng+ and so on. You don't need a deep narrative but I spent hrs and hrs getting all this loot and the ng+ was initially no more difficult. That being said, it does look interesting!

[ShadowL9]

I agree wholeheartedly. Dragon's Dogma was probably my favorite capcom game of this generation and truly a remarkable game in my mind. I still am having my fingers crossed for a Dragon's Dogma 2 to be announced soon.

[thrust]

It's going to be funny when it all comes out there is not difference between the 2 new consoles, mewhy32 is going to feel like a right muppet!

I can see how red his face will be! Hahahaha

[bsquwhere]

The only Muppet around here is you with a hand up your ass.

[thrust]

Mewhys second account^^

[UnHoly_One]

Why do you Sony trolls have to instantly bring up the Xbox One in every article, even if it has nothing at all to do with XB1, or any comparison at all??

Or even in reverse, maybe the article is ONLY regarding the XB1, and instantly you bring up the PS4 and a bunch of meaningless comparisons.

I can't fathom this attitude, and it's really funny because you barely see any of it from the XB1 side, except from a couple hardcore trolls, and even then it is rare. It's usually always in response to Sony propaganda.

I just plain don't get it.

Get your PS4, love your PS4, have intercourse with your PS4 for all I care. Take a dump on the XB1 that is on display at your local gamestop when they start releasing demo systems. I don't care. Just don't bring it up in EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE that has nothing at all to do with the opposing console.

You people are making the Sony fanbase look like a bunch of rotten little kids. Maybe that's what you all are, I don't know, but it's disgusting to see it everywhere on this site.

[christocolus]

lmao.......

[bsquwhere]

Says the troll in a Sony article. Pot meet kettle.

[Godoftheweek]

Is that you Maj. Nelson?

[yellowgerbil]

Yeah got a big AC vibe off this new trailer. Still confused how this game works though, is it just go into a dungeon and kill enemies with your friends or is there an actual MP campaign. Is it co op or is it a MMO? This game loves to stay in the dark, indistinct and secretive.

[RamsesNum1]

Yeah, we don't have much on it yet. Until today, we all thought it would a dark souls type of game but I guess it has a few more twists to it. Let's just hope it works out.

[Irishguy95]

There is Dungeon crawling. It seems to be the main focus judging from what was revealed, especially with the procedurally generated enemies and items(Generated anything is a huge negative for me, I hate the Elder scrolls due to it, and love Souls series for staying away from it) however some people love it. Ie: Diablo. I much prefer fixed items/locations/enemies/diffic ulties and quests than random ones. Imo procedurally generated stuff is NEVER as good as handcrafted or purposely done as a part of level design.

Other than that there does seem to be a story, I would put money on their being a Single player campaign. It's possible it's just like Monster hunter though but without contracts for monster hunting and instead dungeon exploring. Sony seem to really want to challenge Monster Hunter and it's auto millions of revenue.

[bsquwhere]

Their both made by Capcom you dolt, if anything Capcom is cashing in on Monster Hunter. Every time you post something the rest of us get a bit dumber.

[Rezka]

Can someone please explain to me how the device will work?

[RamsesNum1]

Probably like the animus in AC. Going back and experiencing past memories kind of thing.

[thejoker1000]

this game makes ryse look like a ps2 game

[Irishguy95]

Yeah this game looks great, it makes all the previous games look pathetic. Such as Infamous.

[thetruthx1]

Drugs are bad mmmm K

Ryse = best graphics 2013

[thejoker1000]

"Ryse = best graphics 2013 " MY ASS

[CGI-Quality]

The truth hurts - Ryse is NOT the best looking 2013, next gen game. It's a looker, no doubt, but I think it is behind other titles.

[yellowgerbil]

You know I saw a ps2 game last night, it was called Dynasty Warriors 8. it had terible fire effects and flat uninspired terrain- wait what that was next gen????
but yeah I totally agree Ryse looks like a flop

[r21]

Without proper narrative, its pointless? Games like Minecraft, Spelunky and Terraria have done well in keeping gamers attention without heavy narrative. Besides, we havent really seen what the devs plan to do with the narrative. As long as the gameplay is fun, it should still lock gamers attention.

[RamsesNum1]

Yeah but games like Minecraft and Terraria don't really need a narrative. They're open world sandbox games where you create the narrative.

Games like this and Dragons Dogma and other RPG rely heavily on the narrative.

[r21]

Like i said, we havent heard much of the narrative. A good narrative is part of what makes a game great, not the whole package.

[rextraordinaire]

What Dragon's Dogma lacked in narrative, it more than made up for it with it's battle system and post-game content, in my opinion.

I'm a bit sad that Deep Down is not Dragon's Dogma 2 after all... While the medieval part seems to take more than a little inspiration from DD and DS, the modern part seems a bit off to me. But I'll give it a chance.

[RamsesNum1]

Yeah, I agree. I hope it doesn't end up ruining it. We'll just have to wait and see.

[jesuisankit]

It looks nothing like the e3 trailer they showed!!!

[thejoker1000]

yeah looks better waaaaaaaaay better

[DeletedAcc]

U mean psday not e3 right? There wasnt an e3 trailer vor dd this year

[torchic]

inFamous: Second Son, Final Fantasy XV, deep down, Destiny, Rime, Titanfall (if timed deal is valid til Nov 2014), Star Wars Battlefront (with Star Wars 1313 graphics), The Order 1886...

next year's PS4 line up is looking like the best console line up in many years for me.

[modesign]

towards the end, they hinted at big information coming within the ps4 release date or release date reveal within the launch of ps4, im gonna say fall 2014,

[Mr-SellJack]

It was spectacular!glad it was something different plus did I see shooting in the trailer or was it only me?but makes sense

[Mr_Danski]

Cant wait for this.

[TheOneEyedHound]

Deep Down, is so beautiful. So glad Sony help develop the engine, they can use it for future titles.
