Dragon's Dogma (PS3/Xbox360)

[Crimrui]

Didn't see a thread for this so I created one...

Dragon's Dogma is an upcoming action-adventure game that is being developed by Capcom for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game has an open world fantasy setting and is planned to be released in North America on May 22, 2012, May 25, 2012 in Europe, and sometime in early 2012 for Japan.

The player will be able to select between various types of characters, of which nine have been revealed so far: Fighter, Warrior, Mystic Knight, Strider, Ranger, Assassin, Mage, Sorcerer and Magic Archer. Gender choice and appearance are also available, although not much is not how deep the setting goes.

While the player's party is exploring the world, the three party members who accompany the main character will be controlled by artificial intelligence, but the player can issue orders like "Go", "Help" and "Come to them". One of the party members is a non-playable character (NPC) and belongs to the main character's world. The other two party members are NPCs borrowed from other players by connecting online, but the game will not require an internet connection. However, the player can only borrow the NPCs from other players, not their main character. The party members will talk, seek out the main character's help, and will even provide information about enemies.The player will need to work on strengthening not only the main character but the party members also.

The game will feature a "grab" action, where the main character can grab on or cling to enemies. For example, the main character can either grab on to a giant griffon's legs and attack it directly, or climb up to reach the top of its head for a more lethal blow. "In a lot of action games, with big enemies the tendency is just to have you hacking away at the shins. You don't get the full effect of fighting a giant boss," Itsuno, the director of Dragon's Dogma says. "With this game you can climb all over it. If it has a body part, you can attack it." The ability to climb enemies has drawn comparisons to Shadow of the Colossus.

In addition to the large open world, Dragon's Dogma will also feature a large main city environment with over 200 NPCs who will move about according to their own time schedules.

Players can look forward to anywhere between 30 and 100 hours of game time from Dragon's Dogma, with the former figure for normal play with the latter figure for those who wish to dig in to the game.

Why isn't this game getting any comments? I thought people would be more... excited.. ^^'
But anyway, this news that will draw attention... for sure...

Capcom has a Berserk collaboration in Dragon’s Dogma. Their open world action game has costumes for Guts and Griffith based on the Berserk Golden Age Arc film series.

Holy crap, this has to be the one of the most hilariously inappropriate menu music for a game, ever.

[iceyfw]

wow. that goblin saying "WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?" totally had me laughing in man tears

this game is turning out be more hilarious than finding out how gewd it is.

[Crimrui]

The demo is out, anyone tried it yet? ^^

[kenjiharima]

Tired it had alot of fun creating characters.

Hell you can create the ugliest man/woman or anime characters like Saber and Guts.
Gameplay is similar to Monster Hunter with all that climbing on the moster and stuff, good physics and enviroment, if you got to one ledge area you can drop to another if you explore, I feel this will be a huge world.

my conclusion from the demo alone it looks great. I can't wait to play the full game.

[Chaos2Frozen]

May is... Not really a good month for me With Diablo 3 and Max Payne 3 out on the same day, who has time for another RPG?

I'll probably get this for June or something... That is, if I'm getting it at all...

[risingstar3110]

The game does not look half bad to say the truth. Bad releasing time through

Not planing on getting Max Payne so I'll be buying this one instead. I don't know, I never did care about the graphics in games, which seems like a biggest issue for some players. The atmosphere and gameplay in this game are pure win, so I'm sure I'm gonna love the full version as I played hell out of demo. ^^

[kenjiharima]

speaking of the full version, you cannot go beyond the castle and forest there is a pop up saying that you need to purchase the full game.


EDIT

Online/Offline play VS UR-Dragon

[Mateus]

I wonder if this one's going to be "Nintendo Hard" like the other Capcom games?

From wiki

Spoiler:

The player will be able to select between various types of vocations, of which nine have been revealed: Fighter, Warrior, Mystic Knight, Strider, Ranger, Assassin, Mage, Sorcerer and Magic Archer.[9] Gender choice and appearance settings will also be available.[10] The class system, or vocation, makes a difference to the gameplay and tactical options available to the player, ranging from Fighters relying on hack and slash combat (with a move-set similar to Capcom's Devil May Cry) to Striders relying on climbing over large enemies (like in Shadow of the Colossus).[11]
One of the game's main innovations is the "pawn" system.[11] While the player's party is exploring the world, the three party members who accompany the main character will be controlled by artificial intelligence, but the player can issue orders like "Go", "Help" and "Come to them". One of the party members is a non-playable character (NPC) and belongs to the main character's world. The other two party members are NPCs borrowed from other players by connecting online, but the game will not require an internet connection. However, the player can only borrow the NPCs from other players, not their main character.[12] The party members, referred to as pawns,[11] will talk, seek the main character's help, and provide information about enemies.[10] The player will need to work on strengthening the main character and the party members.[12] The pawns are vocal, yelling out useful hints and strategies, which are often vitally important to surviving tough boss encounters and dungeons, which is seen as an evolution of the message-leaving system in Dark Souls.[13] The pawn system will also feature social networking features.[11]
The game will feature a "grab" action, where the main character can grab on or cling to enemies, objects, or NPCs. The player can use this feature for more advanced attacks. For example, the main character can either grab on to a giant griffon's legs and attack it directly, or climb up to reach its head for a more lethal blow.[10] "In a lot of action games, with big enemies the tendency is just to have you hacking away at the shins. You don't get the full effect of fighting a giant boss," Hideaki Itsuno, the director of Dragon's Dogma, said. "With this game you can climb all over it. If it has a body part, you can attack it." The ability to climb enemies has drawn comparisons to Shadow of the Colossus.[5]
The game's large open-world environments have drawn comparisons to Capcom's own Monster Hunter series as well as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.[5] In addition to the large open world, Dragon's Dogma will also feature a large city environment with over 200 NPCs who will move about according to their own time schedules. The player will be able to communicate with the residents in full voice.[10] The game features a persistent world with a day-night cycle; this affects the gameplay during the night, when the game takes on a more survival horror feel reminiscent of Capcom's Resident Evil series.[7] In addition, the game's art style and character movements have been compared to Dark Souls,[7] the hack-and-slash combat elements have been compared to Devil May Cry[6] and Dark Souls,[13] some of the fantasy elements have been compared to Breath of Fire,[2] and the combat and party systems have been compared to Monster Hunter.[5]
The game is being designed to be playable even by those who are not too skilled at action games. These types of players can recruit strong NPCs and let them do the fighting during combat as they watch over the battlefield.[12] Players can look forward to 40 to 50 hours of main quest play and up to an additional 70 hours or more of side quests.[10]
[edit]

I played the Demo..and for me, this game is really good.

Looks more like Monster Hunter than anything else to me, pawn system sounds promising. This should be a pretty big hit
