It looks pretty as hell, but am I missing something with the gameplay? Looks almost as fun as Ryse. Blaaargh

I think how horrible the people playing were at the game really brings down the video quality.

Zombie Thorne_sl · Sep 20, 2013

I hope so. I really liked Dragons Dogma, so I am looking forward to this.

I hate to even admit this, but Dark Souls didn't do much for me...

It looks like an easier Dark Souls on rails.

Xbone's TV functions confirmed only to work in the US at launch:http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/09/...n-for-xbox-one

So, one of the only selling points it has doesn't even work in the vast majority of the world.

Voice Commands also only work for 10 of the 13 regions: U.S., Great Britain, Canadian English, French Canadian, French French, German, Australian English, Spain Spanish, Mexico Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. And then there's this gem:

"I think even in the U.S., there's going to be a lot of stuff that was on 360 that isn't going to be on Xbox One for a while.

Lol. There's just all kinds of stupidity in that interview.

Here's a lengthy impression piece on the game:http://www.gameinformer.com/games/de...n-crawler.aspx

Blurb on the combat:

Combat Is Methodical

The aforementioned comparisons to Dark Souls are apt when discussing Deep Down's combat. Battling the big, club-wielding ogres in the depths of the dungeons has a certain weight to it. Winding up to swing your javelin at foes requires a lengthy animation to complete, leaving you vulnerable to an attack. A short backwards dodge is available to evade incoming attacks. While we weren't able to use a shield during the demo, a knight can be seen carrying on during the co-op demo, leading us to believe players are able to block.

One area where Deep Down appears snappier than other swordplay-centric third-person action games is with aimed attacks. Holding the left trigger brings up a reticle, allowing precise javelin pikes at arrow-shooting statues, pots holding experience or items, and enemies. Aiming a thrust at an ogre's knee causes it to stumble and opens it up for a devastating attack. Several special attacks like a charging javelin stab or wide slash let you deal big damage. These special abilities require you to spend resources that can be replenished by destroying pottery, opening chests, and killing enemies. Unlike Dark Souls, the hero of Deep Down can take a beating. However, death may have been disabled for the purposes of this TGS demo. We'll have to wait until we see more to determine the lethality of combat.

Co-op is 4 people and is probably a hell of a lot easier to setup than the Souls games, so that's a big plus.

Watching that last video on my ipad it looked like I was watching a claymation movie.

Well, it seems this is now F2P. Not sure how I feel about that. I don't mind the f2p model if it's done well, it's just that it's done horribly more often than not.

MS is going all in on the monetization of services model. It kinda makes sense that they concentrate on certain markets instead of a global scale. I don't think console sales is the metric they are going for anymore. It's all about the continued revenue stream.

They sure as he'll better nail the services though, because at this point it doesn't look great for them.

Yeah, I'm a bit wary now after the F2P thing was announced. The game does look and sound gorgeous and fun, so we'll have to see how the F2P model it has works out. Hopefully Sony's support structure for F2P games is good and they don't let people do shit that's too retarded.

I'm guessing whatever billing system Sony has up to support this kind of thing is why it's a PS4 exclusive. In an interview with the FF14 guy he specifically said that he'd like to bring FF14 to the Xbone and maybe the X360, but that it's impossible to do so right now due to how Microsoft runs their billing shit which just does not mesh with F2P and Subscription games.

Hey Sean they're going to cripple PS4's graphics to be the same as xbone's and your TV will fail as soon as the warranty expires.

Lol. I can't wait for the massive wave of denial that's going to come from the Xbronies.

I've been wishy-washy one whether I should pick up a 2nd controller for the PS4 or wait to see if I like the dual-shock 4, or wait for 3rd party alternatives that won't cost me 60 bucks (also, I kind of prefer batteries for a second controller)...

Meh, third-party controllers that are actually good are usually just as expensive, if not more so. Cheapo controllers are always terrible.

DMK_sl · Sep 21, 2013

Holy shit some of you are retarded. I never said I'm only buying the Xbox for Titanfall I said it was ONE of the deciding factors after finding out I can't get a PS4 until 2-3months after launch. Some of you retarded fan boys saw red and obviously stopped thinking properly and felt the need to have a go at me for buying an Xbox one BECAUSE I couldn't get my hands on a Sony at launch. If I could I would be getting a PS4 on launch but I can't, not that I really give a fuck at the end of the day.

Yes I'm a normal guy who can spend a few hundred dollars each month on entertainment. Most of the negative reactions I've received have if anything proven there's a few fanboys in this thread. I mean I didn't even bag the PS4 and you all were completely irrational. Irrationally defending a brand = a fan boy.

Seriously some of you really have a problem. Spending a few hundred each month on entertainment is just SO wasteful how could I be so irresponsible.....

Alkorin · Sep 21, 2013

We don't care what you're buying. You clearly do, and you're defending your decision in spades, so... who's got the issue here? Why do you feel you owe anyone an explanation?

It's your money. Do whatever the hell you want with it. Hell, you could just throw it at Ultracore, I think he needs a friend.
