Capcom's Deep Down (PS4) looks epic

Capcom has something up its sleeve for the PlayStation 4, and it's a project called Deep Down. Preliminary info about the game makes it sound like an interesting fusion of Assassin's Creed and Dark Souls.

Combat looks to take you up close and personal.
Well at least you're not charging a dragon alone...
Deep Down, an action RPG with online elements, takes place in New York in 2094. Why the knights and dragons, you ask? Apparently your character is a sort of memory archaeologist, where you relive your ancestor's memories through various artifacts. More or less like Desmond from Assassin's Creed.








The dungeons, enemies, and weapons you encounter in these memories are allegedly going to be randomly generated. Additionally, the game is said to allow 4-player online co-op.






Deep Down's release date is still TBA, but it looks like it will be one epic ride.

Is it just me or is it getting hot in here?

Amazon taking votes on the E3 2013 console war

Internet retailer Amazon has launched a polling page to see what consumers think of the Xbox One/PlayStation 4 console war. The page, called Amazon Versus, can be found on Facebook. At the time of this post, Sony has a shocking 17 to 1 lead over Microsoft. 



Even before the console was officially announced, Microsoft has been plagued by a series of poor public statements and controversy surrounding the console's strict connectivity requirements used game policies. Unfortunately, the negative sentiment has stuck to Microsoft despite a strong press conference that detailed a variety of next gen games and console features.

To be fair, a margin of 16,115 votes is hardly indicative of how the console war will end - especially when you consider that millions of each console will be available for purchase this upcoming holiday season. That said, it will be interesting to see how Microsoft tries to sway the masses in the coming months - either through silvery words or policy changes. Or... they may not try to do anything at all.
