for people who are still freaking out:

this is called Monster Hunter Online, yet still looks and plays exactly like a normal monster hunter game.

at least wait until even a single piece of information comes out to start with the doom and gloom lol

 

[enzo_gt]

There's no way this isn't what they're turning deep down into.

 

[Fbh]

What would be bad about a coop DD where you actually play with real people now?

Well no one can know how the game will turn out until we actually see it.

But the fact it ends with "Online" makes me (and I'm sure other people) think it won't be Dragon's Dogma 2 with Online Co-op but rather a more MMO type of experience which is NOT what I want from a DD sequel.

 

[Weeaboosuke]

Today just doesn't stop delivering.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

You know they are gonna nerf all the archers and sorcerers when no one ever invites a dragoon Warrior to party

It would be a shame really. Magik Archer was too good (Best class after ranger), especially in BitterBlack Aisle.

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

I've got a thought that this online may in fact be that the position of Pawns and such (besides perhaps your one main pawn) has been replaced by players online that can show up just as the pawns did. Almost Journey or DS style...

That would be.... yum.

Just keep that combat/vocation bizness strong and it's allllll good.

They already have Monster Hunter for co-op hunting and Deep Down for F2P online game. I doubt they'll do another separate co-op experience.

I really hope it's what you're saying over an MMO but my expectations are fairly grounded nowadays with the word Online.

Someone give Woofington a hug

 

[Elandyll]

Ah, rebranding Deep Down

First thing I thought of when I saw the thread...

Played MH Frontier for nearly 3 years.
The level of grind in that game was atrocious even as a hardcore MH fan. If you think getting 1 or 2 gems that have 1% drop rates was bad, try 8 with an even smaller drop rate unless you paid for a premium ticket to get a better chance run for a few days.

No thanks.

 

[joecanada]

I guess I'm the only one that never played Dragon Dogma lol. Is it that good?

It suffered from performance issues but hands down best gameplay in a rpg. Shits on everything else... Just thinking of mindlessly mashing buttons in dragons age after that game makes me feel ill

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Someone give Woofington a hug

All byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy myyyyyyyyyyyyyseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelf

Don't wanna beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Yatōkiri_Kilgharrah]

And you know this how?

This is also true.

Capcpom has no money

Well, Dragons Dogma was an action RPG and Dragons Age roots is in click point isometric RPGs like Baldurs Gate...

 

[OmegaDL50]

Spew stream of endless parade of "What, what, what" ad infinitum like in Noreaga's Superthug and that is pretty much my reaction right now.

 

[Htown]

I just woke up in a dimension where online mean mmo and freemium.

Yeah, it's not like there's precedent with another Capcom franchise or anything.

 

[Squire]

They already have Monster Hunter for co-op hunting and Deep Down for F2P online game. I doubt they'll do another separate co-op experience.

No, 3DS owners have it. More power to them, but the market is bigger than that and Capcom knows it. It's definitely a niche DD could fill in the console space.

 

[Benzychenz]

Almost 100% sure this is Deep Down.

Oh how I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Gurish]

Fuck. Online is bad news guys, no way around it, people are going to be pissed once the game is revealed...

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Almost 100% sure this is Deep Down.

Oh how I hope I'm wrong.

That's exactly what I thought. It makes sense to rename it accordingly.

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Not like this, Capcom. Not like this. When I hear "Online" I think "MMO/F2P." Neither of those is what I want from DD.

I think this might be Deep Down rebranded for the west, though. Possibly to test the waters for an actual Dragon's Dogma 2? Maybe? Hopefully.

 

[LtOrange]

An MMO with the combat in Dragon's Dogma would be pretty awesome, but I doubt that is what they are making. I'm hoping they take DD 1 and just replace pawns with real people.

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

Pawns dont need to be replaced. Just add the option to play with real people instead of pawns but leave the option to play with pawns.

 

[threelights]

If people think this will be an online only game and they will not axe half of the battle system... High chances are that you will be disappointed.

 

[Meneses]

Pawns dont need to be replaced. Just add the option to play with real people instead of pawns but leave the option to play with pawns.

This is exactly what I want. I'll be 100% happy if this is what it is.

 

[Dinda]

That's exactly what I thought. It makes sense to rename it accordingly.

How would that be to rename it "accordingly"? Deep Down looks absolutely nothing like Dragon's Dogma.

Don't get me wrong, i fear this is exactly what Capcom will do, but it sure as hell would in no way live up as Dragon' s Dogma title with this slow ass combat and wihout real character Creation. (They confirmed you play as a set male character in Deep Down)
I'm not even talking about that modern day/future stuff.

 

[ActuallyHulk]

Since this is Capcom I feel like this is going to be a "Be careful what you wish for" thing.

 

[eXistor]

Oh god...please don't fuck this one up Capcom, my last shred of respect for you rides on this. Well, maybe let Nintendo develop a new Mega Man and we're cool I suppose.

 

[Augemitbutter]

i'm ready for disappointment. it's a rebranding or DD1 with random online people that play worse than pawns, right?

 

[Dre_G_Writer]

Coming in this thread like

hahahahahahahaha.

With this being online, and coming from capcom, I got a feeling a large group of players aint gonna like the business model at all.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

It's gonna be a f2p web browser game.

C'mon guys, it's Capcom - expect the worst, discover Capcom can make your worst nightmares a rainbow paradise in comparison to their output.

 

[CountAntonius]

People hate the idea of online?

This game seemed perfectly made for some PSO style co op.

 

[joecanada]

Pawns dont need to be replaced. Just add the option to play with real people instead of pawns but leave the option to play with pawns.

why are most of the people in games forums smarter than actual whole companies?? I don't understand how most of these people get jobs.

 

[texhnolyze]

What kind of "online", I wonder. Buy 2 play or free 2 play.

 

[veloxStrix]

..this is upsetting.

Maybe it'll be a futuristic Dragon's Dogma where you play as a group of rebel hackers!

Or... not. :c

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Oh god...please don't fuck this one up Capcom, my last shred of respect for you rides on this. Well, maybe let Nintendo develop a new Mega Man and we're cool I suppose.

Capcom: What is a MegaMan?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Almost 100% sure this is Deep Down.

Oh how I hope I'm wrong.

Yep this is exactly where i'm sitting until proven otherwise.

 

[gunslikewhoa]

For the people who keep saying that maybe this just means online co-op: when is the last time a series added the word "Online" to the title of it's next entry simply because they added co-op? I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but it seems unlikely.

that's my reasoning. multiplayer or MMO but co-op?

Phantasy Star and Monster Hunter.

 

[Marc]

Online can mean a lot of things. DD fans shouldn't assume the worst, necessarily.

Agreed.

Let's remain calm people. We don't know what this is.

Online doesn't necessarily mean MMO, it could just be replacing pawns with real players

You guys want to stay positive and have faith in present day Capcom?

You few, you happy few.

 

[xHiryu]

What if they just trademarked the name just to fuck with everyone. And they announce that were getting not only a legit Dragons Dogma 2 in the Panty Raid Engine with online coop and pawns, but also Deep Down in the west, and a remastered edition of the first.

Spoiler

let me dream

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

ahhhh......I love DD but not sure if DDO is a good thing or bad thing.

Capcom pls

 

[Blitzblotz]

 

[jediyoshi]

If I just assume this is going to be a f2p card game, my outlook can only go up.

 

[LProtag]

I want it.

 

[KCroxtonJr]

No thanks.

All of that is completely besides the point, people are acting like DD is gonna become some standard MMO and lose itself. Even if the grind was worse in frontier compared to a standard MH, It was still monster hunter through and through.

Also, I posted Monster Hunter ONLINE (different games), not frontier, and the only point is that slapping ONLINE at the end of the name of a game doesnt automatically make it an MMO that doesnt resemble the original game at all.

 

[joecanada]

Classic dragons Dogma with online coop would prevent me buying another game for 6 months.... two people climbing a golem at once to hack away or dual sorcerer lync spells just as with pawns, beautiful
