Capcom's Deep Down

New video by devs, game really looks great...

...but they have delayed beta to 2015.

 

I don't like the style at all. Meh.

 

Looks very nice but certainly not in the same league as what they showed initially. Textures and geometry appear simple.

 

It looks same or better than what they have showed on TGS 2013. IMO, game still looks great.

Now... that Phanta Rhei tech demo from Playstation Meeting 2013. Some project like that still needs to happen, and not to be made by Capcom "mobile team".

 

Ha ha ha, this raises my appreciation for the game immensely.

 

The character movement is not very fluid and "natural" IMO.

 

It's a videogame. 99.999% of them don't have neither fluid or natural movement. What they have shown for DD is more than fine for a tactical RPG.

 

I have see many games with more fluid and natural animation.
FF XV, to stay in the same genere, but also and AC: Unity, Shadow of Mordor, or Quantum Break have more fluid and natural animations IMO.
If I had to guess I would say that animations are not natural and fluid because the character's torso always face the same direction of the camera.

P.S.
BTW more and more developers noways use motion-capture precisely to achieve more fluid and and natural animation, albeit with some limitations, so I would say that very unnatural animations are not the norm,at least in AA and AAA games.

 

I think you have answered your own question.

 

Have they fixed the "repetitive attack animations" of the enemies and characters? Or is it still the same poke, jab, poke, jab?

 

Big tech presentation about Deep Down [in Japanese] http://www.4gamer.net/games/032/G003263/20140911067/

Short tech video about fur:

 

That looks seriously impressive

 

Aw... look at the teddy bears ! Come to papa... [grind sword]

 

Tec looks nice but the art...the monster design just gives me nothing...no reaction, can't put my finger on it?!?

 

It looks good but these days very rarely we see a new design that makes us go wow. I think we've seen it all!

 

It's pretty rare to stumble upon a Giger or McQuarrie or Mead whose work isn't obviously derivative.

Especially today when every artist starts with a google search to build an inspiration sheet of reference images. And most of the time that artist has also grown up on the same stuff - comics, movies, classical art etc. - that you've seen all your life as well.
So even if another of those design geniuses was born nowadays, he/she would have to live and learn in isolation to remain unspoiled

 

Fnal fantasy games can make their enemies/summon/stuff super familiar yet new. But in deep down, the giant rat/bear-thing looks new but i dont get any "impact". Its like..., "Yeah it is a Bearat, so what?"
the modern and old environment, and the armor also did not help bringing freshness.

btw that knight bring halogen lamp or something? That classic-lamp should not have bright white and stable light. it should be yellow-ish and flicker-flutter after a while. Then you need to "pump it". (this classic lamp is still commonly used by food peddlers that goes around town in my country)

hmm now i remember shaking dualshock4 in TLOU haha

 

Agreed that the enemies don't look too amazing for a dungeon crawler. Also it seems they've been showing the same enemies over and over again. I'm beginning to wonder if the game has more than 3 enemy types total....

 

Just wondering....what happened to this game?
