Capcom’s next-gen RPG looks familiar…

RUMOUR: Dragon’s Dogma 2?
Either Capcom has an actual hard-on for the letter D or Deep Down’s alliterative title is a not-so-subtle hint in regards to the true nature of the sport.

It would has been foolhardy to announce a sequel before Dark Arisen even hit the shelves, so it’s no great surprise that it is going to elect to exploit a working title in the mean time.

Dogma was a surprise hit for Capcom, so it stands to reason that it’d continue to make use of the logo for this next-gen successor.

RUMOUR : Safety In Numbers
So far, Deep Down has only been announced for PlayStation 4, but we’d feel free to put down a hefty wager that it will hit the hot Xbox in addition.

Why? Well, have a look at Capcom’s recent form and let us know what number single-format console titles you notice.

Exactly. The last two were Wii exclusive – Spyborgs and Zack & Wiki – and so they sold appallingly.

With costs so high even for current-gen projects, Capcom might want to launch Deep Down on as many platforms as possible so one can cover costs.

RUMOUR: Breath Of Fire
What better option to blow their own horns next-gen tech than with big-arse dragons spewing fire everywhere?

We’re pretty sure the ‘HUD’ at the first ‘gameplay footage’ was fooling nobody, but at the same time as only a target video showing what Capcom is shooting for, it pressed all of the right buttons.

Okay, so we actually desire a Monster Hunter game that appears like this, but more Dragon’s Dogma – whether in name or simply in spirit – is a second place we’re very happy to accept.

RUMOUR: One Man Army
While the Pawn system in Dragon’s Dogma was an enticing substitute for co-op play, it was still just that – a substitute.

Now, it may be just us reading an excessive amount of into it, however the amusing sting on the end of the reveal trailer – where Blanka sends Ono a message requesting assistance on a md within the type of weapons and items – would appear to imply which you can’t jump into other players’ games and help directly.

Hopefully that isn’t the case, though; Monster Hunter veterans might be quick to inform you the way much fun it may be to party up and go after massive beasties.

Chances of Deep Down coming to the subsequent Box and being Dragon’s Dogma 2 (in step with us at the least) – 7
