Is this game exclusive? I thought I read somewhere it wasn't? Maybe I'm going crazy

This has all been a pretty good example of why I usually don't get excited for games based off teasers. You never know how the concept will play out, and based on the short bit of of footage the graphic downgrade is massive.
Still waiting to see more, but "reading" rpg isnt exactly what I ha in mind.

My hype is deep down...
It feels the same like the Final Fantasy XIV E3 reveal moment.

Sounds like Soul Sacrifice but online only.

Unverified, but it looks more likely that it is..

Either way, the fact that this game has an inherent association with PS4 and is online-required is kind of funny after E3.
The fact that it looks so bad is not as funny.
September is a long way off for us to wait on them to flesh out the details.
Hopefully online turns out to be optional.

Why? Are you daft? Online only games were never a MS exclusive thing
What makes you say this?
It's a RPG where you read memories. At least that's what the genre name suggests in Japanese.

Why would they put pre-alpha footage in an official trailer that's shown months after the reveal trailer?
You're right, you probably shouldn't bother.
I'm curious about the online stuff, what is a "reading RPG"?
Edit: answered by Duckroll. What does that mean for the gameplay though?

So it's exactly like Soul Sacrifice.

The budget was short, so instead of cutscenes it'll just be big blobs of text to tell the story.
Online only Soul Sacrifice/Souls/Dragon's Dogma mixture.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Lol, so I guess this game's not really something to defend Capcom with either.
Online only? Ugh
Online only? Ugh
What makes you say MMO? Diablo 3/Destiny isn't called an MMO, yet this is?
We don't really know what they mean yet with the memory stuff, maybe there's an overworld and you enter into the dungeons from a HUB, but based on what they showed I don't understand how people call it a MMO at this point.

They said it was running on PS4...
You must read and use your imagination.

Of course not it's Capcpom but I guess there will be a book that will either serve as hub world/means to enter the game.

Why? Online only games have existed since ps2. The reason people did not like MS' old policy as because all games, even purely single player ones, were going to require an online connection. You seem to be trying to link two issues into one.
Oh trust me, I'm not.
I knew better than to get hyped from that initial trailer to begin with.
When did I say it was a MMO?

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Capcom has gone to total shit. Thats about as confusing a premise for a game yet. Are they firing so many people that they're losing staff that even know how to make cohesive game experiences now?
I wonder if we read them from a book of memories or an ipad......
Because the game is actually in development now. The PS Meeting footage was an engine showcase polished up to perfection. Developers/Publishers probably give us too much credit by assuming we know what WIP means.

If this is the direction Next Gen is headed with mostly online only games, then Next Gen is going to suck ass, and I'm out!

Are you daft?
If you read the text coming from my post, you might find that I never said they were.
I was under the impression there was a single player experience that mandated an online connection with Deep Down -- which, if it were the case, would be the first of its kind on consoles. It appears now that the online requirement is because of the inherent mechanics of the game working online.. which is fine.
I'm still waiting for the console equivalent of Diablo III or Sim City which require a login to play the game, even though they do not have any truly significant online mechanics.
