And the game has had English (and some other languages) in the trailers... I mean, why would you get those voice actors... For a game to only release in a country where people mostly only speak Japanese?

It looks like a coop-oriented game, so maybe highly dependent on having a vibrant playerbase then people of all levels can find teammates to play.
The easiest way to get critical mass is to start off F2P.

Deep Down will definitely come outside Japan. Considering how many PS4 were sold worldwide, Sony won't allow this game to be Japan exclusive.

Part of me wishes it had secretly been canceled and turned into Dragons Dogma 2 for reveal at TGS. But it looks nice and it's free, so I'll get it if it ever comes out here.

Japanese games regularly have English voice acting regardless of whether or not the game is coming to America.

If this game is still F2P it will bankrupt Capcom, I'm calling it now. F2P only works when you have an access to an enormous userbase (mobile and PC). I'm just looking at the visuals alone and this does not look like it's a cheap game to make. It's also been in development for quite some time, and will continue into at least 2015.
Warframe and DCUO are thriving on consoles, IINM.

F2P games on the PS4 are doing quite well.

They're also available on multiple platforms, including PC. Also, neither games looks like deep down.
But can those games, and development of those games, be supported by the PS4 alone? I HIGHLY doubt that.

Don't you worry. This is Capcom after all. They will try their very best to squeeze money from US.

Sexy cloth physics, amazing character animation, awesome particle effects. Can't wait for this game.

Actually outside PC and PS4, there's no other system that Warframe is on. At least not until it comes to XBO next month.
Also pretty sure Blacklight: Retribution is doing good on PS4, actually even is in a higher version than the PC the last time I checked...
Edit: Yeah, Retribution on PS4 has a new mech and new map the PC doesn't have yet...

76% of DCUO playerbase is on Playstation, majority PS4.
I dumped about $100 and 350 hours into Warframe on PC (Did they ever allow the account mergers? Only reason I didn't start playing on PS4 at all) so I'm fine with spending the cost of a retail game on free to play as long as it's enjoyable.
Looks great and was one of the games that stood out in the early next-gen trailers last year.

They're available on PC though, and were available on PC long before the console version. The PC version payed for the console versions.
Deep down, on PS4 only, has to pay for itself.

By the time DD releases the PS4 is going to have a userbase of 15-20m. That should give it enough to find the handful of people that usually cause F2P games to thrive. And they can make a ton of money off of doing small things.

Should be well over 20m by mid-2015, assuming no further delays.
If the game had the visual quality of DCUO or Warframe, or any other successful F2P, I would say it will break even. Deep Down's visual quality is up there with Bloodborne, a full $60 game.

jesus, the graphics look amazing.
Was expecting some downgrade.
God i hate mimics!

I liked the video.
Can I ask a couple of question?
1) Is it supposed to be as hard as the Demons souls series?
2) being f2p will create issues for its PAL localization?
3) being f2p will somehow change my "gameplay experience"? I mean: I have to be connected online, right? but apart that, can I "just" go online a play for free, without being forced to pay something?

I guess in its current state people should care more for anything else besides fps.

Just like everyone else, the foreign is way more attractive to them. So yeah this doesn't mean anything.
1) Probably yes, it's very likely they're making it on purpose to monetize it.
2) You might have to buy the basic game + an item or something for a very small amount of money like other f2p on ps4 (0,90€ for example)
3) You might play for free most of the time, but money might save you a lot of grinding or something like that, but we haven't heard _anything_ how they'll monetize it yet.

Yeah, though the leveldesign/layout seems strangely lacking in character or 'texture' when you compare it to how amazing the rest of the game looks.

Needs female Avatars though. I like to play as female characters because they tend to be more pleasant to look at for extended hours.
Hey, thank you!
I don't like the sounds of it, but I neither hate it.
I'll seriously take a look at this game when I'll own a PS4 next year!

You and me, friend. But then, wearing bulky armor on a female body doesn't look different.

This looks better and better every time I see it.
Can't wait for the game.
Is it officially announced for the west?
Still 60FPS? Looks amazing, would be incredible if it would run at 60FPS.

Quite a big leap from the last footage shown. Character animations and creature design are tremendous although lots of the environments still look boring as hell. Let's hope this gets an EU release and isn't just Japan only.
Two player also looks amazing. I just wish they'd do some local co-op for it. I'd love to play this with friends actually sat next to me instead of in separate houses. That being said it'll still be very cool.
Adding this to the list.
Edit: Was this one procedurally generated? I can't remember.
