Deep Down was supposed to be the flagship title for Capcom's new built for next-gen Panta Rhei engine. We haven't heard anything from either recently
Panty Raid engine was shit and capcom ran out of money
it's ded, jim
>>322607116
>tfw I pre-ordered a ps4 expecting this to be a launch window title
Japanese devs are dumping in house engines & switching to Unreal 4
Japanese devs can't keep up with Western coders anymore
>>322607116
Holy shit, I forgot that this was even a thing.
>“We are currently working diligently on Deep Down, so please give us a little more time,” director Yoshinori Ono said.
>“We may be able to show you some big developments this year.”
>“[Deep Down] is a title that has to be able to compete for the next 15 years or so, so from a graphics standpoint we can’t release it as it is now, saying that it’s the best there is,” producer Kazunori Sugiura added.

I wonder if it'll be a RE3.5 scenario and just get recycled into a bunch of other games?
>>322611697
Here's another statement, sounds like they don't even know where they're going with it
>It seems that Deep Down will take a little bit more time. Word on the street is that we canceled its development, but that’s not true (laughs).
>Even if it may be a little further ahead, we would like to show off a completely different form from what we’ve shown before. In fact, the concept has become larger than what was first announced. Actually, the former design was probably not good.
>Ono-san continued by mentioning that since online games are a long-term committment, if the online services are not properly developed, users will lose interest fast even if the game is fun. Since the development team suspected that the previous concept might not have held the interest of users for a long time, they’re going to take their time to enrich it further.
>>322611997
at least they seem commited
>>322611586
>>“[Deep Down] is a title that has to be able to compete for the next 15 years or so
What they showed was literally just Dark Souls with some terrible weeb influences with its main story line
How is this supposed to last 15 years
>>322607116
Bot square enix and capcom's engine were obviously buildt for different specced system, both run like shit, both couldnt even get one game done.
>>322611586
>free-to-play action RPG.
Dead on arrival.
If its Japanese F2P its also P2W.
Reminder that the story is some Assassin's Creed ripoff.
>>322612195
You do realise Luminous Engine is used on XV, right?
>>322610351
But Kojima made the best game development engine available today.
True, he had to sacrifice half of MGSV's development to do it, but that's not that much for a bigger publisher, is it?
>>322613123
Yeah and it runs and looks like shit
The engine is for high end computers
>>322611586
>>“[Deep Down] is a title that has to be able to compete for the next 15 years or so, so from a graphics standpoint we can’t release it as it is now, saying that it’s the best there is,” producer Kazunori Sugiura added
How?
>>322613582
No idea, probably some retarded muh honoru shit
>>322613365
Yet nobody will get to use it because Konami are fucking retarded.
>>322613582
>graphics dictate game longevity
R.I.P. Deep Down.
>>322613530
Whatever you say, senpai.
Hiatus, there was a working nip beta and everyone loved it save for some problems with connection. The resounding positive feedback said that this shouldnt be a F2P game and so went back to rework the game as an actual retail game instead of a token grindfest F2P RPG. Problem is that they needed to work from the ground up again, and ran out of money. Same issue with Kingdom Under Fire 2, they made a fully working game but couldnt decide between F2P and a regular paymodel and kept adjusting the game for both and ended up running out of funding and the entire game was put on hiatus till the funding is available again.
>>322611997
And by enrich I'm sure they mean DLC and microtransactions by slashing and cutting the main game.
Want this cool exclusive armor? Better preorder!
Want to access this neat dungeon that adds an extra hour? Oops, it's behind a paywall.
>>322607116
Hmmm... was this going to be used on the cancelled Mega Man?
>>322613365
Didn't KojiPro hired a westerner as the technical lead? Julien Merceron, I think.
>>322607116
>>322611586
becausethey are in the middle of porting the engine and asset to PC
they knew 15 years for console is impossible
>>322616812
Is there a PC game that is still making money after 15 years
>>322617012
Some MMOs from that time are still kicking around
>>322617012
Only one I can think of is Maplestory but that's only 13 years old.
>>322617196
Runescape?
>>322617012
Blizzard has a bunch of games like that. Starcraft, Diablo 2, WC3 even.
>>322607116
>Deep Down
>F2Play psuedo wannabe mmo RPG on consoles
>Console - MMO
>MMO on a console
>Massively Multiplayer Online Game on a console
Who gives a shit? It's shredded to pieces before it ever released.
>>322607116
Do you think your answers going to change if you post the same shit every day?
Fuck off.
>>322611586
>from a graphics standpoint we can’t release it as it is now
Yeah because those trailers were just bullshit.
>>322617736
It worked in the same way Warframe did according to the beta. Those parts where its modern? Thats basically the same thing as what the ship is in Warframe, and you set up your character and select where you want to go from this hub, there is no overworld.
>>322617012
GTA3
SH2
sonic adventure 2
>>322607116
Ono and some of the fans didn't quite liked where the game was going so Ono decided to overhaul it. Whatever deep down is right now, who knows ?
>A year since anyone talked about it
>Nothing at E3
>Nothing at Tokyo Game Show
>Sony doesn't mention it or acknowledge it in their line up at all
Its ogre
>>322617012
Counter-Strike
Quake III
TF2 is getting there
This game had me excited for a while. Hope they update us soon and prove it's not DOA.
>>322611586
If they want it to last 15 based on graphics they'd be better going for something really cartoony instead of realistic.
>>322607116
This game probably got turned into Dragons Dogma 2.
>>322607116
Wasn't it basically dark souls co-op? The combat and everything it had looked the same . even the monsters were straight out of dark souls like the mimics
>>322621502
This. If you want something to last, use stylized graphics. If you want it to wow people for like a year and you aren't crytek, use muh realism graphics.
I'm pretty pissed they're changing it. If I can't still manually aim a spear then head are gonna roll.
Didn't they decide last minute to turn this into a F2P Online game?
>>322621852
>all that chromatic abberation
I usually turn it on because sometimes if it's subtle, it can be a nice small accent to the game effects, but this shit is intense.
>>322622392
That was always the plan.
>>322621852
Checkmate, epileptics.
>>322621682
Try harder
>>322617012
Ultima Online (1997)
Runescape (2001)
Tibia (1997)
Everquest (1999)
EVE Online (2003)
>>322613123
Luminous isn't being used to its full potential if the 15 demo is anything to go by. It literally looks like a Unity3D terrain with some good character models.
>>322617012
Closer to home Deep Down's producer Kazunori Sugiura also manages Monster Hunter Frontier G which has lasted almost 9 years and still going strong as ever.
>>322612178
I think it's some procedurally generated dungeon thing with co-op.
>>322622989
>Tibia
>Ultima
How the fuck? I understand the rest but are niches that aren't furries that rich?
>>322611586
I normally would call this bullshit, but surprisingly DMC4 from a graphical (and gameplay) standpoint it still holds today
really well at least and it runs like magic
I lost all interest in this shit as soon as they revealed the retarded "It's VR" aspect.
Why the fuck would anyone ever want a game about a game. Fuck off asscreed.
>>322624459
They provided something good and unique, kept supporting it without alienating their fanbase and no one went head in to copy the formula. I can't play another game to have a similar experience, since they don't exist, gotta go to the source material and so they are still alive.
>>322612415
Any F2P is shit.
want to develop an engine?
get some euro or american guy
japs suck at engine development
