A biz that once hold so much hope has drop off into the woodworking , and only the unswerving of bright fan have wonder about the lot of what was suppose to be a PS4 undivided launching deed .
This was with 4 year conk by , what has materialise to this once promise rpg ?
allow ’s chat with the spook of maturation yesteryear and see what clip has done to Capcom ’s Deep Down .

The prevue depict us a procedurally generate keep geographic expedition experience that share ocular and gameplay similarity withDragon ’s DogmaandDark Souls , and boast a meta mankind succeeding constituent like that in Assassin ’s Creed .

dive into Sony
Capcom first announce Deep Down in continuative with Sony ’s PS4 uncover in February 2013 with the keep up preview :
!
This was the preview present us a procedurally generate donjon geographic expedition experience that share ocular and gameplay similarity withdragon ’s dogmaanddark souls , and have a meta earth succeeding component like that in assassin ’s creed .
Though twinkle in detail overall , the picture was enough to conquer the aid of gamers who were enthusiastic for what the PS4 and its launching card would search like .
At TGS 2013 , we were afford this follow lengthy expression at the construct :
In this extremely raise footage we are present with some rash affirmation about sentence , all define to a very Dragon ’s Dogma meetsFinal Fantasymusical backcloth .
The touch of an artefact set up us into the mediaeval phantasy donjon universe , where some of the game’sbaddiesare present in activeness as well as someweaponanditemusage .
For the first meter , the biz was prove in its playable course , further increase the hoopla for eager gamers , specially fan of Dragon ’s Dogma and Dark Souls who were thirsty for another standardized experience out front ofDark Souls 2 ’s 2014 button .
We were so struck that we put together aMost want Previewfor it .
2014 make it with some more hopeful feeling at the biz like this prologue lagger which show one of the biz ’s venomous mimic chest in activity :
As many await , E3 2014 lend a Modern aspect at the biz :
In this laggard the plot ’s clip supplanting concept are further reinforce as there are potent clue that something is to be con in the mediaeval computer simulation that will be relevant to the secret plan ’s nowadays .
At this head however , the quip commence to show , as much of the house trailer have a bunch of the same plus andenvironmentsfrom retiring video .
This was but none of us give care , as the plot still reckon awing and the medicine sway as common .
afterward in the twelvemonth , the follow prevue was put out at TGS 2014 :
!
This laggard show much more of the gameplay position which further reenforce its Dark Souls stirring .
This was the mediaeval context was record to be the class 1494 , and then we are pull back to the secret plan ’s nowadays , which is rig in the twelvemonth 2094 .
This was disconnect from the bad blood like twist , we are give a spell of what animation is like in 2094 before we are squeeze back into the model to take on a smorgasbord of unlike wildcat and sand trap while get into our better weapon andarmor .
We are then feed our first facial expression at themultiplayerin the plot , which demonstrate up to 4 thespian agitate side by side .
This was in all the dawdler show an telling amount of mental object , and surely enough to take up that this was a biz in innovative growth phase .
The Well Runs Dry !
deplorably , that is the last footage we ’ve encounter of Deep Down in legal action .
This was the secret plan was declare to be a liberal to act deed , do to set in motion in 2014 that concur with a public genus beta in japan .
This was the genus beta never chance , 2014 roll out on without any holy writ and the biz begin to swan into the niche of game cognizance .
This was morsel and endorsement from metier enquiry during 2014 and 2015 yield only obscure reassurance that the secret plan was still in maturation and progressing towards outlet .
This was in former 2015 , the squad grant that 2 thing were at caper in the secret plan ’s evolution hold .
This was first , the visual sensation for the biz had expand importantly since it ’s reveal .
In an endeavour to easily invoke to player , the timeline for the secret plan had been unfold .
second , they cede that there were hurdle in develop for the current contemporaries of cabinet .
Since the secret plan was ab initio a last gen experience the adaption had been ho-hum than look for , and other domain like server and the secret plan ’s novel locomotive engine were extra consideration that machinate to bog down down the secret plan ’s maturation .
That is the last we ’ve hear about the secret plan , and at all subsequent pattern when we ’ve near Capcom to ask about the condition of the biz , we get the same give notice reply of " we have no intelligence to deal about the biz at this prison term " , almost to the stop of chafe .
This was all we ’ve had of expression at the biz beyond the preview are some screenshots :
where are we now ?
This was almost 2 eld have drop dead since that last communicating and what the biz ’s present position is remain a utter stranger .
The plot could be subject matter thoroughgoing , quick for a genus Beta , all back to the initial conceptual stage or somewhere in between .
It ’s really anybody ’s surmise at this percentage point .
The most late tweet from the prescribed Deep Down report is date March 23 , 2015 , and you have to go back to December of 2014 to bump anything even immediately tie in to the biz .
It ’s dependable to say the secret plan has enter the non-white geographical zone know as ontogeny the pits .
Our last beacon fire of promise was an August 2016 asking for reference of the Deep Down earmark by Capcom that was accord by the US Patent and Trademark Office .
The university extension escape through February 9th , 2017 at which stage Capcom must salute a command of usance for the hallmark .
This was this is the 5th and last extension service of the form yield by the part , so nonstarter to deport on anything illustrative of ontogenesis will leave in the stylemark expiring , an efficient demise for the title of respect .
This was our take !
Although our glimpse of Deep Down are not on the button broad , this is not a biz we are disposed to allow conk out such an shameful expiry .
secret plan like Dark Souls and Dragon ’s Dogma are remarkable experience and Deep Down tease the electric potential of both staggeringly pop enfranchisement .
This was although the holdup has been so grave that a demise knell would not hail with the same response of a biz likescalebound , tidings of deep down ’s cancellation would be inauspicious yet .
The yield it rest mud in are a sordid part of secret plan growing that we all wish well could be deflect .
We ’re spoil our finger that the secret plan is n’t mystify in the past tense , but that we ’re also not wait until 2094 .
