DEEP DOWN - PS4 Exclusive, Random Dungeons+Monsters, Online Only play @ TGS

It's basically Diablo Souls. Sounds incredible. You'd be crazy to pass this up just because it's online only.

what happen to the graphics?!?!? the first trailer was cg so??

i was excited for this game :(

No the first trailer was IN ENGINE but not CG. It was a tech demo but now the game is online and you know actual gameplay. It was bound to get worse but it still looks amazing.
 
Has that ever happened before though ?

First party team helped out on a game to make it a timed exclusive.

I'm just wondering. Sony could have given advice and some of their software engineers to help capcom create a game for their console but the key team, art designer, gameplay designers, director and the creative team is help by Capcom.
Instead of funding the exclusivity with cash they do it with human resources.

That would require a weak contractual position from Sony and ignores the fact that PS4 is developer friendly.
Anyway, I probably will have a PS4 before a virtual XB1 delayed release.

What? Its closer to that video visually than it is to the original video. I don't know whats so crazy about saying that.
 
110% serious.

You should get your eyes checked out. 110% serious.

-"Random dungeons and monsters" >>Wow
-"PS4 exclusive" >>Wow

-"Online only" >> WHY???


Also, should I laugh at Square because Sony opened their wallets for this game but not for FFXV? >.>

Paying for FFXV would be expensive and kind of pointless considering the vast majority would buy it on PS. It will still be a system seller but obviously not as big as one if it were exclusive.

Looks about the same visually as that crap quality short trailer they put out.

Seriously, TheKayle and you are going to look quite silly in a short while when people compare HQ direct feed footage of the gameplay from today against that awful looking trailer a few weeks back.
 
Good thing that we dodged that Xbox DRM bullet, right guys?

.... :(
I'm a singleplayer guy myself, but the comparison isn't very good. If you don't like online-only, avoiding particular games leaves you lots more to play than avoiding every single game that comes to the console.

Again, where says is exclusive?
Because maybe we'll see another Codemasters-Sony situation, Sony helped Codemasters to create Neon Engine and Dirt was released in X360.

the 3 most interesting next gen games:

Titanfall
The Division
Deep Down

are all online-only. a sign of the future. this gen was just a glimpse of it, next-gen online only will be an even bigger deal i imagine.

And that's fine. I don't enjoy that play style, so i have accepted those games aren't for me. There are hundreds of other games.

Yes? Fire effects are great but not to the level of February. Dragon doesn't look as good either, but we could wait for a direct feed to really get a good look.

Fire FX looked the same, it's just that they didn't focus on it like in the first reveal. The dragon looks identical to me.

Very true, but that is little consolation when most big next-gen titles is online only. I see a clear trend and I don't like it one bit.

The trailer was...underwhelming.
The gameplay does look good though. Looks a bit too much like a rip off but I still hope it will be good.

That's the thing. We only can say what it appears to be, but we won't actually know what it actually is in full until we see more of it. Not just any game attempting to mimic either of those games is necessarily guaranteed to succeed. The no sp for this kind of game probably took it off my radar, barring the game looking a lot more interesting to play once we get some better footage. So the game can still sell me, but that snippet I saw wasn't enough.

Yea, there was a dragon, and some fight on what looked like a small flight of stairs, but beyond that, I need to see some more. A dragon's presence isn't instantly "omg awesome." It depends on what fighting that dragon is actually like. :)

Some of the textures looked a little lacking, but overall I'd say it looked pretty damn good. Can't wait to see more.

I don't know how people can comment on the graphics when the only videos that are out there are atrociously compressed and full of artifacts.

Dude, the stream was so crappy. How can you say that... LOL. I'm not entirely convinced of the game itself, but there's no way we can really judge the game's graphical muscle based on that stream.

Is this the first fully 3D game with random generated levels? I mean I know Diablo is randomly generated but that's isometric view. I don't think I have personally played a game like what they are describing.

Wow better than I expected. The direct feed needs to be uploaded now. The only downside I have is it being online only.

That's exactly why I'm personally hyped. That could have incredible potential if the gameplay is really high quality. Souls gameplay with Diablo type treasure hunting would be game of the generation for me.
 
I get the impression that the dragon was made in this next gen engine and now they want to make a game around this. This demo looks great, but this game was shown way too early, like a tech demo gone haywire.

The translator during the conference translated it with "unique for the PS4". Maybe the original japanese was a bit clearer.

Yeah, I know, that's why I said I can't wait to see more. I'm just saying based off of.... No, screw it. I'm also saying that it's my GOTY. The gameplay looked spectacular. Some of the best I've ever seen. It really breaks boundaries. This is an exclusive full review.

Are my eyes fucked up? I thought it looked amazing even with the low quality video feed. You can clearly tell that it has great graphics, we just need direct feed.

I can't believe the number of people disappointed by randomly generated dungeons. Have people not played Diablo before? This is probably a loot based dungeon crawler game, makes sense for it to have random elements.

I am very interested in the skills and combat.

I really liked the music used in the trailer...I think the game looks cool. Not digging the forced online, but I have to say, it's looking impressive so far.

The 720p footage released on Youtube looks great, I think with some ironing out (it's not going to be released for a while) and actual footage vs. youtube, it's going to look really beautiful.

lol comparing the graphics to something that was recorded with a camera that was filming a blurry screen and then compressed for the internet good lord
 
And that video in turn also has bad compression, it's just not as obvious when there are slow tracking shots. In the quick-edit bits, it looks equally terrible. The takeaway is that Youtube compression is killing the image quality.

I mean, just how bad does this look?

Please update OP with direct feed trailer/gameplay footage once they upload it online, thanks!
My hype for this game is pretty much dead because of the type of game it is(online only) but still looking forward to seeing new media for it.
