Capcom Online and Japan Studio have been hard at work developing what appears to be one of this generation's premiere titles: Deep Down. The Playstation 4 exclusive was shown at the CEDEC developer sessions in Tokyo recently and needless to say, the game blew some hair back. A number of screenshots and videos came out of the sessions, which we have provided in this post for you. Take a look at some of the amazing technology being used in Deep Down, as really, this is only the beginning of next-generation gaming.
First up are the photos, which really seem to try and place a focus on the game's lighting. Too often in these dungeon crawl types of games, the player is left in a blanket of darkness that feels suffocating not because of good game design, but because the technology is not up to par. Hopefully, Deep Down can be the start of some really awesome change in the industry.
Now, I am sure we have all seen amazing screenshots before and thought, "That's great, but there is no way the game is actually going to look that good." Well, normally I would be hard-pressed to disagree with you. This time, though, I think I would have to make an argument in the game's favor. These videos of Deep Down are absolutely stunning, and while they may just be technology demos, my hopes for the game are very high. If Dark Souls and From Software are not careful, they may have a real contender on their hands.
