Dragon’s Dogma Dark Arisen announced for Switch

[NotLiquid]

Uh, how is this not in a Direct?

Click to shrink...

I'm thinking Capcom have some announcements already scheduled for the Direct (Resident Evil) and Dragon's Dogma either didn't make it in time for it or they didn't want it to get lost in the subsequent PR haze.

So basically I'm expecting a Direct for Thursday with the announcement for it tomorrow, and they announced Dragon's Dogma today so it actually gets some attention today when there is no other big news.

 

[Strafer]

Don't forget that wolves hate fire.

 

[Skittzo]

Oh wow I might actually be able to finish it on Switch.

Assuming I don't have too much to play already this year.

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

Uh, how is this not in a Direct?

Click to shrink...

Cause Nintendo is REALLY bad at marketing.

Click to shrink...

Perhaps they have other, newer games for the direct?

 

[V0ltg]

Wait, the PS4 version isn't 60fps?

 

[Lizardus]

Yesss, hopefully DD2 is being worked on. Day 1 and finally trying out Warrior this time. Wonder if there will be a physical release in the west.

 

[Deleted member 7572]

Capcom better release the physical version, I'm done importing their games from palyasia -______-

Click to shrink...

They usually add "coming to Nintendo eShop" if it's digital only. A retail release seems likely.

 

[Deleted member 8593]

It's 30 on PS4 and X1. I'd be shocked if Switch got above that.

Click to shrink...

The game was quite rough on PS3 and afaik the 360 version was better but still not a solid 30fps. I don't dare get my hopes up...

 

[toutoune134]

I think that we're going to see a lot of ports of games from 2013-2014, when they were still being released on PS3/360.

 

[ILikeFeet]

What a weird take.

Click to shrink...

Gotta be negative somehow!

 

[Bjones]

Still won't be " mature " enough for some people. Lol

Holy shit, wow. I bought it for Xbox One on Black Friday and still haven't touched it, I probably would have waited had I known this. Slowish RPGs like this definitely shine on a handheld system.

Click to shrink...

The first half or so is definitely sllooooow. The game really shines about half way through when your party starts to get somewhat strong.

 

[Deleted member 249]

Yo what

This is amazing

 

[Nauren]

and Day 1....

 

[NotLiquid]

This game looks like an open world The Last Story, are they anything alike?

Click to shrink...

It's an Itsuno game, the combat has more in common with something like Devil May Cry than The Last Story.

 

[Arkai]

Woah, out of no where. Always wanted to play this, got it on my wish list on Steam.

 

[OrakioRob]

Great, always wanted to play this!

 

[unicornKnight]

Is this game perfect for Switch?

Click to shrink...

No but it will sell great because people are thirsty!

 

[Becks']

Wolves hunt on the go now, Arisen.

 

[Skittzo]

Seriously though this is the type of game that should've been greenlit like, minutes after BotW started selling gangbusters. Not sure why this took 2 years.

 

[blackmass]

Buy it! One of the best games ever made. Story and mechanics are a bit cryptic, but ask here and we're gonna help you out.

Awesome news!

 

[Herb Alpert]

Wow

OK, now i'll be able to play this.
Definitely getting it.

 

[ScribeofGeadhain]

Unexpected but awesome. You Switcheroos are in for a treat.

 

[Deleted member 2254]

Click to shrink...

Yeah, I only played a couple hours on X360. Enjoyed it but it was indeed slow. I can see myself playing something like this while watching TV or something.

 

[Herb Alpert]

60fps on switch???

Click to shrink...

Expect 30

 

[ShinobiBk]

I like how this already has a trailer, but we still don't have new info on the RE ports.

Click to shrink...

Next Direct, at least I would think so.

Speaking of which, what's taking so long?
Could very well see an announcement today or tomorrow.

 

[Blade Wolf]

Perhaps they have other, newer games for the direct?

Click to shrink...

Are you sure about that?

 

[TheRealMjeed]

Have a PS4 and now a Switch. Any reason I should get this for a Switch over a PS4?

Always wanted to try it. I'm a huge Dark Souls and Bloodborne fan. Would I enjoy this game?

Click to shrink...

I'm the complete opposite, hated Bloodbborne and Dark Souls even more but loved Skyrim...would I enjoy this?

 

[cucholix]

They usually add "coming to Nintendo eShop" if it's digital only. A retail release seems likely.

Click to shrink...

They better do

 

[Smiles]

nice Capcom

 

[No Depth]

If performance suffers, then grab it on PC/PS4 instead. (Also, having online access for pawns is a nice boon, so those unwilling to pay for Nintendo online would likely miss out on some neat features.)

 

[Mandos]

And smoke, we usually get some random reveals right before a direct

Uh, how is this not in a Direct?

Click to shrink...

Most older ports aren't, unless they are something huge, but they do tend to drop near a direct

 

[Deleted member 17402]

I'm the complete opposite, hated Bloodbborne and Dark Souls even more but loved Skyrim...would I enjoy this?

Click to shrink...

I also enjoyed Skyrim but only played five hours of it. lol

 

[SpottieO]

Oh wow, I bought it on PS4 but never put much time in to it although I can see why people loved it. If the price is right I'll definitely jump in.

 

[Deleted member 31092]

Neat.

Now where are my Resident Evil ports dear Capcpom?

 

[60fps]

This game looks like an open world The Last Story, are they anything alike?

Click to shrink...

No not really. Imagine a mix of Monster Hunter, Skyrim and Dark Souls.

After playing the original on PS3 I would have bought the remaster for PS4 as well, but I felt the 30fps really hurt the game, and the PS4 version is 30fps as well.

 

[KratosEnergyDrink]

The game was quite rough on PS3 and afaik the 360 version was better but still not a solid 30fps. I don't dare get my hopes up...

Click to shrink...

If it was 20-30FPSish on PS360 it should easily fluid 30FPS in Switch with better resolution/textures/effects. Switch is much more powerful.

 

[VideogameVices]

OMFG.....

:O

Day 0.

 

[cucholix]

There's no Direct then, but I'm happy with this announcement :3

 

[Staf]

This is such a gem. Wish we would get a sequel some day...

 

[Deleted member 2809]

Cool
I assume they won't balance classes and very-end game tho (BBI second run). Kind of a shame.

 

[Sou Da]

Imagine that, an entire announcement made for Austin Walker.

 

[Lithium Flower]

One of my favorite games of all time. Will I buy it a 4th time?

 

[GameShrink]

It's a travesty that we live in a world where Dragon's Dogma isn't a lengthy franchise by now.

The MMO sucks, but the original game is the most underrated of all time. Give us a sequel already!!

 

[raketenrolf]

Finally. Didn't buy current gen version but will buy this one (I loved it on PS3 and own the PC version).

Once of last gens best games.

 

[Keasar]

*sigh*

Guess I'm buying it a fourth time then.




GIVE.
ME.
DD2!

 

[snausages]

I'm the complete opposite, hated Bloodbborne and Dark Souls even more but loved Skyrim...would I enjoy this?

Click to shrink...

Imagine a really janky third rate Skyrim with a bland open world but with really great combat mechanics by the DMC3 team and enemy encounter design is something between Monster Hunter and Shadow of the Colossus.

It's the most diamond in the rough a game has ever been

 

[logash]

Hope performance is good. PS3 and 360 ran kind of bad. If it's like dark souls for switch it should be fine.

 

[Deleted member 37739]

They're masterworks all, you can't [on the] go wrong.

 

[CaviarMeths]

I got bored of it fairly quickly on PS3 with its rather uninteresting open world and quest design. Combat was pretty alright though. Think I'll pass on this.

Wish Capcom was interested in making new games tailored for the hardware like they did on GBA, DS, and 3DS. So far it's just Mega Man 11.

 

[WellbornWarrior]

Too bad I already have the game.

Too bad the online features won't be accessible while commuting for most people. Part of the fun was frequently changing your group with pawns from other users.

Also if this is 30fps thats a disgrace to the game, as someone who already played it in 4k at 60fps.
