Deep Down Hands On Preview: Clunky And Gray

[Ishigami]

The first teaser/trailer of deep down got me interested but tbh when this ?procedural ? and ?online? stuff came up I already interpreted it as bad signs.
The reveal that it is some sort of SF story similar to Assassin?s Creed then killed of any interested that was left.
This hands on therefore is not very surprising and confirms my prejudices.
So yea? good luck with that Capcom.

Sadly, the more I see of Deep Down, the less impressed I am. The game has the potential to be great, but I just don't know what Capcom is doing with it.

Why can't Capcom just make Dragons Dogma 2 or at least a spiritual successor?

As far as I remember, they had begun work on one before Dark Arisen came out.
When I first saw Deep Down I thought it was the code name for the next Dragon's Dogma. (Though honestly I kind of hope it isn't now.)

sorry my friend! I tried my best, but I wasn't able to get it to feel natural. I feel like if I had more time with the game I could have figured it out a lot better

No need for apologies, I was just saying. It's like, you're used to driving a certain type of car but not 10-wheeler trucks. The review seemed to blame the game for it but maybe that's just how I inferred it.

It would've been nice if they discussed more about how the dungeons are generated and showcased more environments.
