Capy’s mysterious Xbox One adventure 'Below' emerges from the shadows

Looks great and sounds intriguing. I'd like a release date though. I've wanted to try out Dark/Demon Souls, but watching some videos of the game play something about the animation felt disconnected to me that I didn't like and the UI also doesn't do anything for me. Those ideas (which I guess is really roguelike rather than souls) I'm interested in, but the art style puts it over the top for me.

I'd like to see combat and how some of the other elements will look (that survival aspect of having to patch yourself up in a safe spot feels like a piece that has been missing forever) as the clean look of everything is really working for me and I want to see how that translates to all of their game systems.
 
We don't have a release date and won't for a while. Its a big game (in scope) despite the small character ;)

It will be coming to PC and Xbox One. It's not even a timed exclusive anymore now that we're working with ID@Xbox.

So it's a top down RPG with a mix of LoZ1 and Souls series right? With equip and everything?

Never give MS credit and make sure to post the following in every Below thread.

Well why wouldn't people mention it's on PC? The gaming press seems to be focused on making people forget that kind of thing g so why wouldn't we inform fellow gamers?


Anyways, PC day 1 for sure.

It's not the message, it's intent. In any case, it's a good thing this is coming out day and date.
 
I am going to support these guys so i'll buy it on Xbox one (which is my prefered way to play it) & PC to support them with that double dip.

no ps4 huh
I think thats a given it will be on PS4 now with the publisher change, but whether they have the ability to discuss that right now is a different matter, I doubt they got out of the MS publisher deal 'scot-free'...

Definitely a positive for all gamers

I'm bummed I don't know when I'll be playing this yet (obviously day 1) but I'm glad you guys are taking the time you need to get it right. Looks like something that is going to have a great feel to it.

The biggest issue for me is just waiting for this. I swear this and The Witness are the games I am most excited for this year.
 
I have a feeling the Steam community is going to buy into this game way more than the One crowd (in terms of sales numbers).

yes, i also think that they'll get more sales on the platform with 75 million active users than the platform with a likely 5-7 million users
 
Ew, Dark Souls is a terrible franchise so my hype dropped.

am I the only one having trouble making sense of this post?
I'm not a fan of Below but this strikes me as an asinine reason to write it off, and makes me wonder what it is about darksouls you detest since this game is as far removed from it visually as any game can be.

Hmm shouldn't the title be "Capy's mysterious Xbox One and PC adventure 'Below' emerges from the shadows" ?
 
We haven't (and won't be) talking about release plans for a while, but there's nothing stopping us from doing what you suggested :)

Game looks awesome, can't wait to see some more gameplay. Can't get enough of the visuals and the music. They work so well together!

Looking forward to hearing about the release date.
 
why are you thanking steam and not microsoft, who let capy renegotiate a contract so that that they could bring it to steam?

because..he doesn't want to buy another console just to get this game and he's thankful that there is an alternative option..why are you butthurt about who he thanks?

Even if it had been published by MS, that's no reason to believe it wouldn't have come to PC. They seem to only care about preventing SKUs on Sony platforms, and even then only for a period typically.

I totally ignored the fact that you also put that little jab in there about the biased "gaming press." Nice.
 
I don't think he is butthurt just wondering why the guy didnt give credit where credit is due.

microsoft isn't steam, how many indies are completely exclusive to xboxone? Capy wants to make ma profit after all, dude thanked who he wanted to thank, yaw'll are just sensitive.

Interested in seeing more of your game for sure, good luck on all the development work and future success!

My most anticipated Xbox title. Sorry Remedy, but all that Quantum Break TV/Episodic crap doesn't cut it for me (I still hope the game is at least as good as Alan Wake).
