Hey guys, here's hoping for news at the State of Play today...

Maybe...

Right guys..?

🙃

Edit: lol rip I guess

Just want to say that you people give me hope. I've been really depressed. Wading through a lot of self-doubt and bullshit. I feel alone, and what's worse is that I'm starting to feel comfortable in my darkest place. The thought of the newfound pain when exercising, or the next time I get ghosted, or that moment when a potentially good friend starts talking about how great Overwatch and they're a Genji main and "No, I've never played Paladins, but it looks like an Overwatch rip-off".... it's all pretty soul-crushing. In all seriousness, even if our day–and I know I shouldn't talk like this–but even if our day never comes... at the end of a long, disappointing day; at the end of that serious contemplation that I might be a coomer; at the end of the month-long relationship that ended over a year ago today that I'm still not entirely over and I have no idea why; at the end of it all, I think of this subreddit and I know deep down™ that I can't possibly be alone.

I know this all sounds like a joke, and I do tend to mask my hurting with self-deprecating humor, but I'm being pretty honest. Hope you're all having a good 2019.

Part of me won't even be greatly disappointed. Like being in a community and waiting for years for this game is more exciting than getting the game at this point.

(granted I'm still gonna buy the shit outa this game when it comes out)

Yeah that’s it

Even though the game hasn't been talked about for quite some time, I would be still more saddened to see this sub die down completely. Each successive E3 since the reveal this sub lights up dimmer and dimmer than the one before. Almost like a glimmer of light that is sinking, deeper and deeper down to an unknown abyss.

Now it might sound grim but I wanted to share with you a truth. Coming to this sub gives me joy and hope for the future. I am certain that deep down will be some type of PS5 title. There is little to no doubt.

What we saw at the beginning of the current generation was a hope, a will and a longing deliver an experience that the developers themselves would be proud of and also, it would be a new beginning for a new IP. I am sure that they've started out somewhere and at some point realised how the project could go one of two ways; finish it at a set date/time during the current generation, which in a way was their promise. Or! They would admit that they mistook their first-draft vision for the end result when it in fact was not and keep working on it.

Silently, quietly they are pushing forward inch by inch as much in awe as we will come to be when they do release the behemoth that Deep Down will become!

Now we may come here and we may leave but no matter what we do, at some point, they will release more information and no matter what we do then, we will return here to talk about it.

​

Cheers guys.

Sooooooo are we expecting anything?

The extension of trademark rights suggests that this may actually be one of the PS5 launch titles. Don't get me wrong, the whole concept of the game seemed very "japanese" from the start. In short - game is set in the future, and significant part of the game and interactions should've been handled in this "future part". However the part that players liked was set in the dungeons - e.g. "past part". This is already a difficult concept to work with, more to that CAPCOM was planning to make game more appealing to major part of the gaming community and make dungeons proceduraly generated.

According to some rumors Capcom also wanted it to be F2P. It starts to smell like a bad MMO and combination of other things.

​

This is where the identity crisis strikes. We saw that procedural generation like in No Man's Sky and features like "game as a service" can ruin best of franchises and make big dents in reputation.

​

Knowing CAPCOM and their passive approach to trends, fan service and community demands -it seems to be too risky for them to actually make something descent of that game.

​

My personal opinion is this - getting rid of the "future" part, MMO and F2P aspects and focusing on single-player driven, co-op, or even multiplayer would make a very solid game. Even though it would be a Dark Souls rip-off.

​

But beside that there is a technical aspect of the game - the engine. Capcom called it Panta Rhei (translation - everything flows) for a reason. If you look at the technical demo you can see that graphics and particle effects are somewhat comparable to the UE4, however some dynamic things like fire flow, well - they require compute power and current gen consoles can't give you that. If we assume that new generation of consoles will have far more capabilities in that sector then it is logical to conclude that we see something like "Last Guardian". I hope game will come out eventually be it a PS5 or EOL PS4 game. I just hope Capcom will hear their fanbase and community.

we know this game ain't coming any time soon

Wow, another thread talking about if we'll ever see this dead ass game.

We know the copyright was extended once again. So we know this thing is still alive partially. What do you think the chances of seeing this game at one of these two events? My best bet would be going for TGS. But IDK. We'll see.

​

We haven’t hear nothing since 2013 I doubt this game will even be released for PS4, I mean shit what other events you can possibly think they will announce this? We didn’t get shit in E3 which was a huge disappointment. I don’t want to think is cancelled because Capcom extended the trademark for this game in June 2018. The only hope we have is PlayStation Experience If we don’t get nothing there then I loss my hope for this game ever coming to PS4.

I guess I’m Deep Down sad...

I wanted to believe.
