Capcom's DEEP DOWN was the most impressive thing shown @ PS4 event

Probably the "brave"/"coward" texts in the trailer
It's getting there.
Seriously, does Capcom Japan trust their major development studios with anything but co-op monster killing games these days? The only reason this isn't branded Dragon's Dogma is likely because they don't want to keep making games in that very unique universe/plotline.
I was hoping to see something new but it seems I should forever expect Monster Hunter archetypes from Capcom Japan from now on.

Nothing about that trailer was interesting. It was a bunch of prerendered CG with a shitty HUD laid over it. I'll believe this was in-engine until proven so.
Also there was nothing there I'd classify as gameplay.

It was certainly not CG. In-engine it was. The only question is whether or not this is achievable in real time with the PS4.
No, of course not. We know what kind of GPU it has
Exactly, specially beasts' animation coming from them is top notch, if not directly THE BEST in the industry.
I can't see why it's so hard to believe that what Capcom showed with DEEP DOWN was mostly real time. Yes, it seemed scripted and used non-playable camera angles but I think the PS4 should be able to develop that kind of graphical fidelity easily, with proper budget I mean. If not, why release a new console then?.
It was a bone to us Dark Souls fans, and as I'm a sucker of that franchise I was delighted by that demo. Sadly, it was the only thing that made yesterday's PS4 reveal exciting, as I didn't really cared for the rest. But it was sweet.
That's my thinking so far, but I won't assume anything yet. If The Last of Us is achievable on the equivalent of a 7800, who knows?

Did we even see a game or was it all cut scenes?
I love Monster Hunter.
I enjoyed Dragon's Dogma.
I'm sure Capcom can put something together that's special but all I saw were some cutscenes. Nothing impressive.

It also has some social elements "help me with gear/items so I can beat this boss!".

It looked great, but it's Capcom so I'm not trying to get too excited over it after the consecutive disappointments I've had with Capcom recently. Also, it screamed Demons/Dark Souls ripoff to me with the tagline at the end and the overall aesthetic.
I'm going to guess this is all in-engine concept footage of a work in progress.
It's great watching the amount of crow eating right now. That video wasn't CG as much as y'all want to justify your PC, that tech demo was an in-engine representation of whats possible. Deep Down not only looks better that Crysis by a large margin, but it looks better than what we saw from Killzone SF as well. It's insane what Capcom created.

It's certainly nice to think that.
I don't know precisely when I became so jaded but it's really difficult to trust developers at this point in time.

After the Far Cry 3 and Aliens debacle it's pretty difficult to trust anything shown at these events. Why bother hyping yourself up based on a glorified cut-scene? Remember the Halo 2 smoke and mirrors?
Keep in mind this could very well just be a tech demo, and may not even be running on PS4 level hardware. Samaritan was in-engine as well.
This may not be indicative of the overall quality of the end product.

The game was running on their next gen engine - Panta Rhei
The demo they showed was in-engine (aka NOT CG)
The engine is being used to develop upcoming next gen Capcom games.
Did some of you even watch this presentation? The amount of incorrect information being spread around GAF is incredible.

I think they mentioned it was running on PS4 as well, as far as I recall

This seemed more tech-demo than a game. Way too early to get excited about anything.
Honestly I think the souls games look like dogshit which is disappointing when you consider that they also run like dogshit.
I don't mean they're bad games though, just terribly unappealing visually.

That demonstration did look pretty great, but I've got some reservations about how much like that it'll actually look/feel like. The graphics are probably achievable, I don't know, but the animations and how everything moves and interacts in such detail and fluidity seems targety.

Yep. Far and away the most impressive thing on display.
Its a shame Dark Souls 2 is current gen. Cause I would kill to have a DaS game looking like that.

Looks interesting and very beautiful, something like continuation of the Dragon's Dogma ideas.
P.S. Horror focused Resident Evil 7 starring Claire Redfield (with Alyson Court's voiceover) and featuring Panta Rhei. Make it happen, Capcom, it'll be your redemption.

Zaeed???

I don't remember any game saying that.
For Square Enix tech demo they said it was a target for how their games will look, but before that they said the tech demo was running real time on the PS4.
I think they just were saying that tech demo =/= gameplay so they are targeting what they achieved in the tech demo.
My landlord looks like Zaeed too. Scares me.

^^OMG. 
Really? Less than a handful of games in the genre and its in danger of being run into the ground?

Come on Salsa you are smarter than that. This wasn't Killzone 2 CGI from 2005. I can see it very doable on PCs and on PS4 for that matter. Capcom's games last gen (Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Dragon's Dogma) were crazy good looking when being announced.

Oh that's right. So if they said it...then that's precisely what it will be when/if it launches.
I certainly hope it looks like that but I didn't see anything remotely "gamey".

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Like I said from the beginning... I have no idea what the hell this is. It could be totally fake, mostly fake, whatever.
That said... I think it could also be more indicative of gameplay than people are giving credit. Because watching the footage, I see gameplay elements of other Capcom games all over it.
There is a moment that looks the most like gameplay, and that's when the guy is running forward, but then it quickly goes into a falling animation that looks questionable (but that type of annoying animation thing happens in a lot of their games like Lost Planet, etc).
The actual "combat" they show... idk... but this to me feels like RE4 philosophy applied to melee weapons and realistic weight. The way the player gets into a heavy OTSV and then unleashes a strong attack. If that actually *was* indicative of the real gameplay it kinda makes sense... that seems like how Capcom would do Dark Souls. It would be timing and stamina based.
After the amazing Dragon's Dogma, and Monster Hunter... nothing about the movement of the creature seems outside the realm of possibility for Capcom. There is some pretty amazing collision, but they are already doing some of that current gen. Just doesn't seem impossible.
Maybe it's total bullshit... but either way it whets my appetite. Cause I can honestly see how some of that might translate into gameplay in the near future.
