Looks like it's had a massive downgrade in graphics, the dragons fire is nowhere near as fluid as it was at PS Meeting.

DEEP DOWN - PS4 Exclusive, Random Dungeons+Monsters, Online Only play @ TGS
- Thread starter kurbaan
- Start date
I don't see how random generation's going to be good. Games that use that for their levels don't have good level design, they just have somewhat diverse levels and a lot of them. That plus Capcom making it always online it seems like it's a pretty cheap project graphics aside.
I feel like xbox "won" since dead rising 3 looks far more appealing and I'm not even very interested in it.

I have a feeling this will be a love it or hate it title. Not too excited, but I feared worse after the aug 1 teaser.
Ah ok, that's cool.
It's an exclusive I'll keep an eye on then. The new news and the gameplay do nothing for me though. Looks very meh, as I'm not a huge "fantasy" fan unless there's a huge world that really draws me in (hated Oblivion, but loved Skyrim). Claustrophobic random dungeons is a huge turnoff in a lot of games for me.
It takes a special game to make me do dungeons over and over and over.
My interest in this one is up in the air.

I'm curious about the somewhat "meta" angle of the trailer. Is it going to be something akin to .hack or AC?
the only interesting thing about this development is that the setting can be completely changed up in the game. i wonder if deep down will be exclusively D&D style dungeons, or if it will jump around a bit more.

They also showed some futuristic locations, maybe your animus of sorts?
yeah, but possibly even more then that. i assumed, like most i'm sure, that deep down was in reference to the underground nature of the games caverns... now though, not so sure. (though it could still be that and just have a double meaning)
I play lots of roguelikes so the idea of random generation does not mean bad design to me. Besides it adds to the element of surprise.

SCEJ is helping so I'd say it's exclusive for good.
Dark Souls has an online component that adds another layer to the game. The big difference is it's not required to play the game.
collaboration with SONY devs/engineers

Probably because if I don't have a reliable high speed connection, it means I can't play the game.
At all.
Which I don't, so I can't. Goddammit I wanted to play this game.

I haven't yet to see a game with fully randomized "maps" with great levels of detail so I'm dubious what that means. Maybe only pseudo randomized with an "arena" style system connected by corridors. The online-only portion also makes me wonder about how well the detail will hold up.
Peoples' expectations from tech demos can vary a lot.

It's gonna be a rouge-like. If it ain't your cup of tea you don't have to bag on it.

To be honest I think that is one of the reason why I don't expect the graphics to be that good in this game. It's randomly generated.

Just wondering why there's a problem with always online for this game? Was there a problem with Demon's Souls and Dark Souls being online?

There was an offline mode for those games. The online features were definately an enhancement though.

Well, they were not always online. You didn't HAVE to play the game with somebody else (which hasn't explicitly been confirmed, but given the always online requirement and the promotional stuff we've seen so far it seems that way).
We'll know more at TGS, either way.
For me? Yes. I had to stay in the dead form the whole game just so no asshole would invade me and I didn't want to log out of PSN because maybe my friends wanted me for something.

Not exactly sure how I feel about the randomly generated part. While we are comparing it to Dark Souls... I don't think Dark Souls would have been the same game if the environments were randomly generated. Everything was just so well placed and laid out in that game. That's part of what made it so gorgeous and amazing.

welp getting a PS4 I guess, although always online is kind of annoying as I like a good single player rpg, unless its like dark souls in which case that is fine

The stars of the game seems to be the combat, so as long they have a lot and varied enemies each with different srrategy to beat, I'm okay with random dungeon, there's a merit with random dungeon in gameplay.
It was a tech demo, you should have known that was not how it would look.

I don't quite understand the pissing match with Dead Rising vs. Deep Down. I think they are both great decisions for MS/Capcom and Sony/Capcom. Dead Rising 3 should cater more to the Xbox fan-base and Deep Down should do the same for PS fans. This is clearly Capcom designing games specific to the people they expect to play each console, and that's awesome.

Cool, man. Hopefully the ICE team is involved so we can start to see that PS4 rock.

Ok I thought this was a multi early on. After this conference it changes everything. Before people thought Xbox had more games cause they blew their load all at once at E3.
Sony on the other hand has been announcing new games at every major event. Now they have a lot more games announced with a lot more variety. People should not have underestimated them. It's Sony after all. Someone should compile a list of all ps4 games cause its pretty damn impressive. I hope most of the Japanese games come to the west.

Looks like a possible system seller for me 
. Will keep my eye on this for sure.

All I remember was render target.
Yes, I approve of both exclusives. Give unto Sony what is Sony's and give unto Microsoft what is Microsoft's. The last thing we want is two mirror consoles with all the same games on them.
Because when the servers go down the game is unplayable, if the go down for good you can't play it anymore.
I don't have a problem with online gaming, the game looks very interesting, I just wish he god an offline mode. They didn't even have to make an offline campaign at all, just give us the same shit but offline and we're good.

Online integration =/= always online.
The Souls series can be played entirely offline if you want to.
