Remember Deep Down, the impressive PS4 action title unveiled by Capcom not so long ago? Well, it would appear the game isn't all that it seems, as a new trailer released at this morning's Sony Computer Entertainment Japan press conference attests.
Despite the medieval aesthetic, the game is actually set in 2094 and seems to focus around people re-living memories — very much like Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series. Only in Deep Down, the memories tend to be about Dark Souls-style dungeons and massive, fire-breathing dragons.
Built using Capcom's shiny new Panta Rhei game engine, Deep Down is being produced by Yoshinori "Street Fighter IV" Ono with assistance from Sony's own engineers. It will contain a procedural dungeon system and randomly-generated monsters. You'll also be able to play online with up to three friends.

The more I hear of this game, The less interested I become.
I was wondering why it was a PS4 exclusive.
What...? I'm severely unimpressed. Still optimistic, though.
My mouth was dropping wondering what was going on before I read the part about reliving memories, then it made much more sense. This sounds more like $40 game now, still has promise though.
I dunno. It weirdly intrigues me. Started off kinda meh, and despite subsequent footage/framerates not dazzling me, my interest in the game is still growing a bit.
This is one of my most anticipated next-gen games after watching its new trailer.
Looks great.
Why couldn't it just be a fantasy dungeon crawler. This was one of my most anticipated games for the PS4 and now its just meh. They need to do a lot to get me impressed again.
I also hope they are working on Dragon Dogma 2, it needs to come out with co-op.
I'm much more excited for it now.... Is there something wrong with me?
hm AC with dark souls gameplay? could work i suppose, but i would've rather them just leave it as a fantasy action/rpg like it seemed to be at first. oh well.
also, the engine isn't as impressive as i had hoped it to be either, definitely a pretty game, but Dark Souls II looks nearly as good.
I'll have to learn more before forming an educated opinion, but as of yet I'm still optimistic this could be a great game. Time will tell, I suppose.
The controls doesn't look too good. Camera seems like it's always at the character's back. It would ba a shame if it doesn't control like dark souls or dragon's dogma.
I was expecting some sort of post acoployptic thing that had humanity reduced to Medieval levels but with some remnants of technology that they only have limited knowledge of.
I was disappointed.
Oh no... hints of mellow drama, and corny dialog. Please Capcom, don't do it. This doesn't have to be a FF clone for the next gen. Let it stand on it's own. Still hopeful it will be great though.
