Damn Giuseppe you are fast. Keep up the great work mate. And its good to hear more news about Deep Down.

guitarded773440d ago

Huhu Huhu... you said "service".

For real though, I hope these aren't bullshots. The game looks amazing.

ABizzel13440d ago

For some reason this has me extremely hyped to see God of War on PS4.

And Happy Holidays to all.

combatcash3439d ago

Looks very detailed, I hope the gameplay holds up well.

Kamikaze1353440d ago

"He also promised that the team will make an effort in 2015 as well to meet everyone’s expectations."

That's a pretty bold thing to state, lol.

Abriael3440d ago

Think positive, it's Christmas :D

Kamikaze1353439d ago

Heh, you're right. Well regardless, I certainly can't wait to play this game. It looks pretty good! Happy holidays :D

jhoward5853440d ago

Dang, look at those texture scales on that monster.

Pintheshadows3440d ago

In the fourth picture it looks like one of the monsters has just told his mate a joke.

torchic3440d ago

so many Dark Souls clones on the market atm. hope this game is different in gameplay mechanics

nucky643440d ago

uh, and the dark souls games are demon souls clones.

KonaSquid3440d ago

Yup, and the whole PVP thing in those games was Sony's idea in the first place.

EvilWay3440d ago

They are made by the same guy, except DS2........

fullmetal2973439d ago

That logic would apply if those two games were wearnt made the same team. In fact dark souls considered a sequel over demon souls.

torchic3439d ago

I know that. but Dark Souls and Demon's Souls are very similar, so you can use both interchangeably in this instance. I understand why hardcore Sony fans were angered by my comment, but at the same time I was just being loose with my wording.

Eiyuuou3437d ago

Naming it a clone wouldn't be very correct since Dark souls is Demon Souls's "spiritual" successor.

Dunno why they didn't call it Demon Souls 2 though... Maybe because they are in different worlds.

Oh the trolls are delicious here!!

torchic3439d ago

how am I a troll? it looks like a Dark Souls clone to me.

so because I have an opinion I'm a troll? you need to grow up if that's the case :/

KwietStorm_BLM3439d ago

Please do name these Dark Souls clones. And if you think something is a clone just because of a medieval setting..I just hope that's not what you're saying.

Kal-V33439d ago

Lords of the Fallen is the only one i can think of. Hardly justifies a "all these DS clones" rant for just one game. Not like the "DOOM clones" in the 90's. I'd say deep down will play more like a 3rd person Eye of the Beholder or Grimrock over DS.

Layden Has 'No Idea' What Happened to Capcom Deep Down Game

Former Sony executive Shawn Layden has "no idea" what happened to Capcom Deep Down game, which disappeared after announcement.

SullysCigar994d ago

I thought this looked fun. I hope they do something with it eventually.

Rangerman1208994d ago

From what I have read, they wanted to delay the game to make the graphics "realistic". Imo, the game already looked good as it is. My guess is that perhaps they shifted their focus for a ps5 release but only time will tell.

Michiel1989993d ago

considering it looked basically better than any other game in that trailer, they were probably too ambitious. They also wanted to have endless dungeons, have several historic periods that they wanted to realize, infinite randomly generated loot. its not being made for ps5, it went in the dumpster, no way capcom would let them work on it from then on until now. it was like 9 years ago or something that trailer came out?

Ashunderfire86993d ago

I remember seeing demo footage of this game on the PS4! It already look like one of the best looking games on the PS4, like a prenext gen game before PS5.

Shinox993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

This was never meant to be a game and it was more like a showcase for their engine "Panta Rhei" that they never used in any game ( which probably named RE Engine now ) , yes this project was meant to be a low budget free to play game for the PS4 and planned to release in Japan but all of that was canceled in a matter of few months , this whole project has been silently canceled long long time ago and people does not know Capcom well when it comes to sideswiping projects

Giraiga13992d ago

@Shinox if what you said is true then that's a big shame really. I was really looking forward for the game, and it had some cool ideas and mechanics that caught my attention (though making it a F2P title was somewhat worrisome).

darthv72994d ago

I always thought it was because of this games questionable development that they were able to do the deal for SFV in its place.

SyntheticForm993d ago

As far as I'm aware not a single game was developed with the Panta Rhei engine. Some aspects of the engine may have been folded into Capcom's current engines, but who knows, really?

I thought it looked really good at the time it was shown.

Giraiga13993d ago

Agreed. The game had a lot of promise, jankiness aside. Plus, I sorta loved the survival horror aspects of the game in certain areas.

ManInRed994d ago

Still sucks we haven't heard much from it. Really liked the concept behind it, and I feel like I was one of the very few who liked the game's music. A shame it's in hiatus as of now.

Sciurus_vulgaris994d ago

I think Platinum has been overextending itself for a good while now. Scalebound was canceled after missing deadlines and Bayonetta 3 has shown nothing since its announcement in 2017.

Sciurus_vulgaris994d ago

Posted my comment on the wrong article..,

Rangerman1208993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

Like Darkborn said, you still have a good point, even if it's not related to this newspiece.

Sciurus_vulgaris993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

@Darkborn and Rangerman1208

I think Deepdown's disappearance is simply due to Capcom focusing resources on their already established IPs ( Resident Evil, Monster Hunter and too a lesser extent Devil May Cry). Despite the vaporware nature of Deepdown, Capcom has been doing quit well for the past 4 years or so.

TheExecutioner994d ago

even capcom doesnt know .. no one knows what happened

Rangerman1208994d ago

Honestly, I want to believe the game will happen but after what happened with Wild, who's to say Capcom won't consider on pulling the plug on the game?

A shame cause the game looked very interesting.

Barneyco993d ago

Excuse my ignorance but was Wild cancelled or delayed? I didn't hear news about that.

Barneyco992d ago

I looked Wild up. I had no idea it was cancelled last year. I was looking forward to it.

spicelicka993d ago

It's quite deep down this game

hulk_bash1987993d ago

Deep down seemed like Vaporware from the start. There was never anything shown beyond the initial reveal trailer.

Yppupdam993d ago (Edited 993d ago )

There is always games like this that look cool and excites everybody...and then it disappears. Look at "8 days", everything about that game looked as cool as hell, The Story, Ving Rhames as one of the characters and pretty cool game mechanics (of what video leaked out of them) That game still stings to me, I really wanted to play it.

Giraiga13992d ago

Same thing with The Getaway for the PS3. I always wanted to try out English GTA from Sony, but it sadly never came to be.

DVAcme993d ago

While the game never came out, I don't think it was time wasted. If you look well at how the camera follows the character and how it moves around during "gameplay", you'll notice it's spot-on identical to the camera in Resident Evil 2 Remake. Deep Down might have been cancelled, but it most likely became a proof of concept for Capcom in development of the REngine.

Magic_Spatula993d ago

I always thought it was a tech demo never intended to become an actual game. Pretty sure it's just them showing off what would eventually become their proprietary engine Reach For The Moon Engine or "RE Engine" as most people call it.

gleepot993d ago

capcom calls it the RE Engine, because thats what its called

Giraiga13992d ago

To quote from the other guy, it's definitely likely that Phanta Rei probably transformed into the RE engine. Still, it sucks the game might not see the light of day, especially considering how ambitious Capcom was with it.

Capcom Renews Deep Down Trademark

Don’t count this game out just yet. Are we going to see Deep Down release on PS5?

_SilverHawk_1429d ago

Hopefully its still in development and will be released on ps5 because deep down trailer looked amazing when showed years ago

Sonic-and-Crash1429d ago

i hope this to transform to " Dragon s Dogma 2 Deep Down" ....would be smart move and excellent to revisit DDogma elaborate world

Lore1429d ago

I’m hoping for both

camel_toad1429d ago

Capcom is really sitting on Dragon's Dogma and I don't get why. It was an out of nowhere fantastic game.

They need to come out with the sequel already.

Hakuoro1429d ago

That's actually what I always thought, that it was just a code name for a Dragon's Dogma game.

bouzebbal1429d ago (Edited 1429d ago )

heard good things about DD.
didnt have a chance to try it, so i hope the series gets some love cause i think it was successful.

Michiel19891429d ago

@sonic I rather hope for a Monster Hunter deep down, that could be amazing

Army_of_Darkness1429d ago

It's probably gonna be a ps5 game now.

nitus101428d ago

I will agree Dragon's Dogma is an excellent game and having the ability to climb on huge enemies is fairly unique, however, I really hope that Capcom (if they make DD2) reduces those "escort missions" or at least makes them much more interesting. Of course, if I hear "Harpy!" one more time I am going to scream.🤪

Deep down, it’s just vapor ware..

NVMGaiden1429d ago

Absolutely, I'm more interested in games that exist like Pragmata and Resident Evil 8.

Yui_Suzumiya1429d ago

Those are two games I'm most excited for as well

NovusTerminus1429d ago

Renewing a trademark is a sign of life because they cannot just indefinitely renew it, they only get so many renewals before it is rejected and open to the market again.

Relientk771429d ago

Good, hopefully we see Deep Down on PS5.

Kavorklestein1429d ago

I kind of have a feeling that Deep Down was put off until new hardware because the Quality of what we saw in the trailer looked like it was causing major frame issues and stutters on the PS4 the time.

The PS5 may finally be able to handle the visual goal of what they were going for.

drizzom1429d ago

Actually would like to see it on PC too.

isarai1429d ago

Hopefully it maintains the technology (like their fluid/particle simulations) and 4 player co-op

lildudexst1429d ago

Oh now they wanna work on it again
