Producer Sugiura here. Details on the public beta test are likely to come in July. There’s no excuse, as everyone was looking forward to the information. Rather than development circumstances, we’re discussing with the higher ups the policies for the beta test.

As an apology, I’m attaching a screenshot of the game in development. It’s a dungeon themed after the emotion of “Anger.” I will report again in July.

Screenshots are super compressed

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
I don't think he says anything about the Beta bring in July...

Damn...serious Downgradation.

And it looks like the game is still staying in the East for now...ugh...

So this was the end of the month beta details they were talking about? Announcements of announcements, man...

*edit* Oh, so we basically got screenshots and an apology that the announcement would be delayed. Great. I really hope they get their shit together. Japanese beta was supposed to be out in February, I believe.
 
I wonder if, when discussing the release of new screenshots after a massive visual (and presumably technical) downgrade, they're thinking "Crap, we had to make some serious compromises to get it running on the hardware, but maybe if we put out some screenshots of the nicest looking bits in our game people will just assume it's a fluke or just a poor example of a small section", or do they just think something to the effect of "Fuck it, the game looks terrible now but there's no getting around that so we'll just pretend to be completely oblivious and continue releasing screenshots like nothing changed"?

It also just occurred to me that there's the third possibility of the dev team actually believing the game looks essentially the same because admitting to themselves that it's not even close would be devastating.

Does anyone still care now that Bloodborne is official?

True. I had some interest before, but with Bloodborne expected in early spring, there's really not much breathing room for this title. I mean, we don't even know when it'll be released stateside. The time to release was this summer. Capcom really messed up, I think.

Been downgraded a while ago sadly. Since october 2013 iirc

I hate this fucking trend.

Oh come on. This was probably one of the most obvious "there is no way this is ingame" that I have ever seen.

Did people really think this footage was possible on PS4? PC games on ultra don't even look that good.

The second screenshot is not new. It's from TGS 2013. It was added from the article from which you took em for comparison, as it shows the same area with a different "feeling".

well, I can't post anything from Dualshockers because the site is banned.

Fair enough, but the second screenshot isn't new. Only the first is. Shows how much those that call downgrade know about the game. It's been looking like this since the very first displays of actual gameplay in June 2013

Have you seen the UC4 teaser? It's running at 1080p/60fps and looks better than that.
 
I admittedly won't be disappointed over the graphical downgrade if the game ends up being decent and I don't feel forced to pay for more stuff in the F2P model. If I want to buy the stuff then it's a win for the developers.

Dunno what happened with Capcom's tech for this game besides the move to 60FPS, but U4 and The Order already look better than that first trailer.

Still think it's rather silly to keep bring it to E3 and having trailers in English then tell us "Japan only". It's obviously being worked out to have a western release. The state of consoles in Japan is really dire and it would be throwing money away to keep console games as Japan only.
 
I wonder if this game is still PS4 exclusive.

I thought it was weird how the update for DD over E3 on the PS blog said "coming to PS4" like they did for every multiplat game and not "coming exclusively to PS4" like they did for exclusives that got announced or new news.




It would explain the downgrade
 
Fell in love with the game since the reveal and I hope the western release is soon. Impressions from the beta will be fun to see.

The uncharted 4 teaser looks nice but that deep down CG was on another level
because it was in-engine and not actual gameplay despite the hud elements.
Deep Down still looks amazingly though in motion.

I'm positive absolutely no one at Capcom thinks that the game looks terrible. I don't even know any gamers who believe it looks terrible, it's clearly a next gen game.

Uncharted looks better. And it probably was in-game on a PS4 (a: they said it was in game, b: you could see aliasing). The difference, and it amazes me that people have such a difficult time understanding this, is that the game is supposed to be the most optimized and look best when it's at its earliest stages of development and does almost nothing. That's like... how game development works. You add more shit and things get slower, until eventually you have to make cutbacks. It's not a trend, it's a reality.

I hope that you are joking. Do you actually think the PS4 can't pull that off? lol.

The Uncharted 4 trailer looks a lot better.
