this gameplay looks better. the fight with the dragon at the end is kind of impressive


Looks cinematic, kind of in a good way too. I remember how the original RE felt cinematic, like watching a B 80s horror film, without having to use any of the tricks that developers use today. They did it during play with art direction, sound design, camera angle, and ambience, not cutscenes (although there were some) and OTT set pieces. This reminds me of that, accomplished with, like you said, animation (duh, it's Capcom), lighting effects, palette. The RE5/6 camera angle helps, although I fear it's going to hamper play.

Capcom has traditionally had a good stable of visual artists, some of the best in the business honestly. Now if they could just ship their DLC-loving executive branch to a gulag...

Really liking how dark this game is. Gives off that classic dungeon crawler vibe of venturing further and further into the unknown with no clue of what's down there. Also like that you can manually target different parts of the enemy's body. Gameplay has a lot of potential but still looks a little rough around the edges, but there's plenty of time to polish that.

That freeze time spell was pretty cool.

That looked good. I presume that for demo purposes, there was only a lance available? I hope sword & shield is in, too.

It won't be a real Dark Souls competitor for sure, for that it looks too clumsy and mainstream, but from a holistic point of view, I already like it.

Throwing down flash and fire bombs. So it's RE4-6 with fantasy skin. Similar blue menu as 6.

Hope you can turn those damage numbers off. I hate when I see that shit in Diablo 3 and Torchlight 2.

Capcom just announced that Deep Down will be a free-to-play game. This comes from one of Sony's top guys and retweeted by Ono the game's director, so it's definitely legit. Welp, there goes all my interest in this game. Capcom gonna Crapcom.

That also means theres no reason to get a ps4 either, if its a free to play it will come to pc for sure, its not like the ps4 hardware is extraordinary.

Truth. Deep Down was going to be my weak excuse to splurge on a PS4 but now I don't see any reason to buy one. Not a single announced title is interesting except for ones that also will be on the PC anyway.

Sony's Japan studio is helping to fund and develop the game's engine, it's definitely a PS4 only game. Not that it matters anymore now that we know it's some f2p crap infested with microtransactions. Capcom is notorious for nickel-and-diming every little thing they can get away with. And even if it wasn't PS4 exclusive, it still wouldn't come to PC, Dragon's Dogma didn't either for some dumbass reason.

Doesn't look that good, imho. Seems very generic, and the combat is looking bad to me. That perspective when using a spear is god aweful. Free-to-play, so ill try it out, but I don't expect it will be worth a damn. (Well maybe I won't try it, since it'll be PS4 exclusive)

There was a site in regards to a PC release a whiles back: http://www.d-down.jp/pc/ but Sony got more involved into the development and publishing of the game and made sure it is apparently a "PS4 Exclusive" and it got changed.
The spoils of a new console generation and platform war brewing... it won't be the first, nor will it be the last game that this happens to.

Fuck you Capcom, your games would be ten times better on the PC. I will wait til I can emulate a PS4 and use the proper mouse and keyboard setup.

I am willing to wait, it's not like there are shit tons of good games coming out this year or in the next 20 years judging by the rate of decline.
