Well, it is coming to PC, so hopefully BorisENB will figure out support for his shaders.
But if there's still all the pop-in issues. Idk...

Amazing.
Well its nice that someone is trying. Japanese pubs need all the help they can get.
On the PC it might actually be decent with AA/AF, 1080p and 60 fps. It will still be lastgen-looking, sure, but compared to the original the IQ is sure to improve.
yea IQ seems better. But the polygon and lighting seems about the same, which is a shame..
They trademarked the name at least in Europe a few months back. It's probably coming to the west.

I don't have much faith in Capcom to deliver a decent F2P model but more Dragon's Dogma is welcome in any form as long as it's of a similar quality to the first game.

Are going to get more info on Thursday? Wasn't there an 18 page spread on this game.
The magazine is already out. We just need someone to translate those.

Sounds hot. I should really check out the original sometime.

And miss all that grinding? Grinding with a combat system as good as DD feels so damn good!

As long as this thing plays like the first DD, I'm in. As long as the design isn't compromised by the monetization, this could be really cool.
If they retain the stat growth system of the original then grinding on jobs I don't wish to play as may be a good reason to use +exp boosts.

looks really bad graphically
That's actually true, the combat was so nice in the singleplayer game I wouldn't mind the grind. I'm assuming the combat is basically the same.

"Dragons Dogma Online is similar to previous entries terms of combat. Clinging attacks remain present. Players will battle against big enemies in dramatic battles, and monsters can become enraged, leading to fiercer attacks."

So what microtransactions can we expect?
- $ for:
01 buy wakestones (basically continues - dat arcade feeling amirite or am I right?)
02 Custom colors on armor and weapons
03 Funky hairstyles
04 Funky hairstyle colors
05 Other appearance options (catgirl waifu amirite?)
06 vanity items like those useless rings (I think they cost money in the original)
07 Instant Respec option, no need to re-grind a new character (could be a big money earner if you know about how ppl had to make new accounts for pawns because they didn't like their existing one or wanted another one).
08 Another account within the same account. No need for a new PSN ID.
09 straight up buy end game gear, even if your level is too low (nice little earner b/c ppl are dumb, no refunds). Buy catgirl ears and dumb low spec but silly looking stuff like Feists (sp?) hat.
10 A small tax on gifting items (nice little earner), pay much more for bulk gifting to avoid the time entering and exiting the rift, sleeping etc. lol
11 buy port crystals before reaching the areas to acquire them
12 buy ferrystones or pay even more for an infinite ferrystone (like the bonus you get for having a DD save when updating to Dark Arisen.)
13 tax on purifications
Would be a shame if it drops frames at the low bar of target 30 on PS4 as it will on PS3. Capcom doesn't have a good track record after all looking at the ppl complaining about latest resident evil on PS4.

Magic archer isn't just legit, it's easily the most powerful class on bitterblack isle.
I could potentially deal with pretty much everything until 08. Then the bullshit starts.
Though I'd be kinda bothered with stuff like catgirl waifus, just like I was bothered with anime hair colours in the original DD. It doesn't fit with the world and fucks up the atmosphere.
That said, I'd buy some vanity items, as long as it would be something I find actually cool looking. 'Cause why not.
Well, it still could happen. This is an online spin-off.
Real shame to see the series foced to be Japan focused. They have MH for that.
ngggh.
famitsu cover
I think DD2 turned into DDO and capcom grew a brain and relaized a FTP japanese focused game on Xbone would mega bomba.
Yeah that sounds about right. Capcom are a poor shell of their former selves, so its understandable that they would focus on Japan.

I need pictures and gameplay to make up my mind. That "free to play" is bringing way too much bad vibes to it that I don't like.
14 Pay for armor transmutations. Turn those heavy armor leggings you fund into a thong for your pawn for only $1.99

That makes sense. Vanity. Those ugly leg armor, plus pay for a change in colors.
I'm extremely (cautiously) optimistic for this given how amazing DD was. And to everyone worried about it being called f2p, isn't that sort of like Destiny is now? Very MMO-like, but with extra content for a price? I am personally loving it, so no big complaints from me yet. More importantly, can we import it and be able to play??
When is this supposed to come out? From the scans floating around, it seems like cloth physics is not in anymore, and i'm wondering if it's because it's still early in development, or a concession for online play (and having to still run on ps3).
It'd make me very sad though.

Totally fine with the graphics looking like before. The core graphics are good, the problem was the resolution, frame-rate, and LoD triple threat making the game look and run like a fat snail on the last gen consoles. Hopefully they can push a high framerate on PS4.
I'd hate for that to be the case, but how can you tell from scans?
Still, Dragon's Dogma losing graphic fidelity due to the new online stuff is one of my biggest fears. I loved how so much of the equipment had physics and got wet.

Agreed,
Capes going straight down and looking completely straight even in the middle of a swing, skirts and robes following the back of the leg bending forward (instead of going downwards with gravity) etc.
Hard to tell admittedly, but it just sparked the idea in my head that it'd be one of the first things to cut to make it more tolerable on the weak PS3 hardware.
Let's hope we can at least have it back on ps4/PC, if it's indeed gone from the ps3 version.

I think that's why there are PS4 and PC version. In my eyes , the dev team is talented and i think they understood what were the complain the first time.
My post was full of hope.

F2P? From the pub that spent a gen fucking us over with DLC? No thank you. This franchise is still dead to me.

Man that cover is so cool o_o
Berserk Armor and i'd probably throw money at them for that.
I feel like that would be pretty lame because you can already get that armor in the vanilla game.

You know that if they do the entire cast of bersek in small dose of dlcs, people will buy it in packs , right?

I'd throw some coin for the Berserker Armor + Dragonslayer.
Tempt me, Capcom. No shame will come.
