What this means is that the dungeons will move blocks around differently each play-through by having the numbers randomly not doing the same randomless as it was randomly doing. Also I almost forgot this was a game until I remember Dead Rising and was like "OH, there was a PS4 alternative." and stuff.

Article:

Capcom's free-to-play PlayStation 4 offering Deep Down will feature an infinite number of randomly generated dungeons, the studio stated in a post on Facebook translated by Gematsu.

The development team have worked to create a system that generates items and the environment at random, in what the studio calls an "include as intended" design strategy. This means elements incuding treasure chests, traps, ladders and height differences throughout the dungeon are expected to change throughout.

Deep Down made its publicly playable debut at TGS earlier in the year, drawing long lines as one of the few next-generation titles available at the show from Japanese developers. You can read our Deep Down impressions here.

Of course this is polygon, so sometimes there is bias uh, incuding. Lol.

Can't help but think "Infinity number of badly, randomly designed dungeons with randomly placed enemies"

This would keep things from getting stale but I'd still prefer dev made dungeons.

Wonder Woman anticipates.

"Am very much looking forward to this game. Loved what I've seen so far."

This means that every dungeon will feel unique and play totally different.

other games have done this type of stuff and it is always terrible.

i had a racer that generated random tracks and they were all the same damn track re-arrainged.

infinite same-y dungeons is not a bonus for me.

Isn't every randomly generated dungeons infinite?

Yes that is what it says. Although the graphics aren't randomly generated per dungeon.

Diablo II says hi lol

Nice to see capcom at least making one next gen game.

this is dark-souls like gameplay though right, could be interesting

Skyrim?

No the loop numbers are smaller and scripted. For example, that one DC games only has 15 loops(in comparison). it doesn't increase the variables by 1 each. (like gong from 200-201) it counts in what is set.

@ freedomfreak "This means that every dungeon will feel unique and

play totally different."

Actually no, the human brain will still see patterns (even if they're no patterns) so no you won't see/feel much of a difference after th 50th dungeon, its a technological marvel and its abslutely pointless. They're better off hand crafting each dungeon individually. If they do it well people will want to always play the same dungeons.

Well it's F2P, budget doesn't allow thoughtfully crafted static dungeon layouts and more.

Gameplay is still bad looking

That's a huge double-edged sword.

If it's done really well, then we can expect something like Minecraft.

However, if it's done poorly then it's just a cheap excuse for being too lazy to design levels individually.

The concept sounds good. Too bad the gameplay looks lackluster.

People, it's a Free to play game from Capcom.

Let's not our hopes too high now.

Morrowind had randomly generated dungeons, I thought it was quite good.

But they should really mix and match random with static to get the best outcome.

nice to hear it's more than a tech demo

random generator? AHHH nice thing i guess. Quality is other matter though...

You're really that excited about a feature that's been in dungeon crawler games for almost 20 years, maybe more?

Well it can be random from a set. e.g random from values [0, 1, 2, 3]. It isn't infinite, but the selection is random. And so if it was generating dungeons, it would be selecting assets, which would have a finite set of possibilities.

You can further look into whether Deep Down is genuinely infinite, or if it's effectively infinite, or if it's even possible at all.

A game that offer unlimited hours of gameplay. Only possible on the PS4.

the more likely case is playing through an area will get stale after x amount of times and feel exactly the same long before you actually hit the hard amount of variations.

I'd rather have carefuly crafted dungeons.

Random dungeons are great feature, but they aren't exactly a new feature.

RANDOMLY GENERATED DUNGEONS!!!!

gee whiz, what will they think of next?!

I was looking forward to this when I thought it was Dragons Dogma 2, but it turned out to be online f2p crap.

Issue with generated levels is that they sometimes lack that handcrafted feel and tend to be not as detailed or unique.

f2p trash

Infinite number of bland ass dungeons. Yay.

Not in Diablo 1 in 1996!
