Anime Crimson Desert - singleplayer Action-Adventure title from Pearl Abyss

[DJOGamer PT]

Apparently the creators of Black Desert will release a singleplayer game (but with integrated online elements, it's not an MMO though) next year

• Open world action-adventure
• Immersive story with emphasis on character development
• Online features seamlessly interwoven with the main story content and multiplayer content
• Fast-paced, dynamic action combat
• True next generation 4K graphics and performance
• Breathtaking character customization that raises the bar for the gaming industry

Looks pretty neat
They should tone down the effects and shacky cam a bit
Hope the quests aren't MMO tier garbage filler, and that grinding isn't the backbone of the gameplay loop

Gonna wait for Blue Desert myself.

Wait even longer for Yellow Desert, where the electric rat follows you and utters horribly digitized voice clips and all the fun glitches are patched out.

Korean shit, looks pretty but they all play the same.

looks pretty but they all play the same.

So no different than all those modern PS exclusives that you play
Should be right up your alley then

Fake news, now I play xbox games that look and play all the same.

Do we finally know what it is?

This shit was announced in 2019, then a gameplay trailer in 2020, zero news since then, and now another trailer with no release date. Pearl Abyss said like a year ago they were facing problems during development, so this must be vapourware or will suffer major downgrades, because it looks a bit too good

This was about the only interesting thing on the opening night of gamescom mostly because I wasn't aware they were making a singleplayer game in the first place. That's to be expected I suppose with shows front loading with popular normie bait, hopefully the next couple days reveal some smaller studio gems.

 

[Tyrr]

You know it's not a western developer when the trailer features a white male mc.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

will release ... next year

Dec 15, 2020

Heh

That aside, ngl while the setting seems to be on the generic side, the enviroments look really fucking good (seem improved over the first trailer)
Though they kept the shacky cam and have increase the vfx...

 

[Softgels]

No character creation

 

[Shinji]

Well the game certainly looks pretty impressive with its animations and realistic rendering (I assume UE5 plays a big part in achieving that)

Though It does feel like they're attempting too many things at once.
This usually results in a game having systems with little depth or purpose (like marriage and cooking in Skyrim, for instance)

Bad news, fellers.
