Panta Rhei engine sucked too much

Development hell

It was how it was described to me

>Capcom begins making Panta Rhei before current gen console specs are finalized
>They turn out to be less powerful than expected or some such excuse, not sure on source for this info
>meanwhile fans are disgusted by the promised F2P Deep Down with its shit Sci-fi story, they would rather play Dragon's Dogma 2 or Onimusha
>presumably they can't get their engine to work, end up adding some western programs to it (forget which)
>Silence

I'm not entirely sure, and I'm usually on top of Capcom's shit

I think there was that leak a while back showing what Capcom had in store for future games, and I'm pretty Deep Down wasn't listed anywhere, so probably dead

They were apparently at a point where they technically were done and were going to release it, but decided that they wanted to work on it more.

This sounds like it's not dead. Any source?

Capcom haven’t shared too much information on their upcoming free-to-play PlayStation 4 action RPG, deep down, but company Corporate Officer and Deputy Head of Consuder Games Development Yoshinori Ono recently spoke with 4Gamer about what’s been going on with its development.

In the interview, 4Gamer points out that ever since deep down was first unveiled in 2013, we haven’t heard too much about it as far as new information goes.

“It looks like deep down will take just a little longer. It also looks like some people are starting to ask ‘did the development come to a halt?’ but it’s nothing like that,” says Ono with a laugh. “We’re thinking about showing something that looks completely different from what previously shown, although it might be a while from now.”

“The ideas we have for the game is much larger now compared to when we first announced it,” he continues. “Rather, the ideas we had before might not have been good enough.”

“When it comes to the service of online games, it’s a long-term challenge, so we must make sure to do the necessary parts correctly at the launch of the service, otherwise it’d be a shame to have an amusing game and not have any players stick around,” explains Ono.

Ono concludes, “when looking back at the previous ideas we had for deep down, we felt concerns about it not being able to capture an audience as we would’ve liked, so it was decided to give it more time so that we can further enhance it.”

deep down is currently in development for PlayStation 4.

it isnt dead

there were news about it in spring 2015

The game is heavily being overhauled because the first impressions from the community weren't great.

I was so looking forward to this until they announced it was going for the F2P model. If it plays like a dungeon crawler, 3rd person action game hybrid why can't they just release a full game then support it after launch with new dungeons and content?

A game which is launched with the F2P model is practically what a demo would have been 10 years ago.
