Dragon's Dogma - Dark Arisen

[Insanecyclone]

The other thread is mainly BOF(Breath of Fire) and I don't want to bump it or take posts relating to this. So I'll just make a new thread.





Jobs of the game:

Fighter

Equipped with sword and shield, fighters are good at close-range combat. Their powerful bodies are also weapons.

STRIDER

Striders move with acrobatic speed and agility. They're skilled at long range attacks using their bow.

MAGE

Mages use their mysterious powers to call upon magic to face off against demons. Depending on the situation, you'll need to consider such things as casting time and elemental.

You can main job/sub job classes to create:
Assassin, Mystique Knight and Magic Archer

Dragon’s Dogma has three basic classes fighter, mage, and strider. Players can combine these to create advanced jobs which share characteristics from two base jobs.


Take the assassin, a hybrid of a fighter and strider, as an example. This class sacrifices defense for mobility and attack power. Assassins are surprise attack masters and get a performance boost at night.

Magic archers are what you get when you combine a strider and a mage. This class’ special skill is enchanting arrows with magic.

Mystique Knights are, according to Capcom, essential for every party. They can enchant the party with support spells and strike enemies with fire, lightning, and water elemental attacks.

Release date:
Early 2012 JP
March 27. 2012 NA.

The game was playable at Comic Con, but did anyone play it there?

I won't lie, it looks amazing, but the combat seems stiff. I can't remember the last capcom action game i've played that didn't feel shallow.

The lack of multi is disappointing to say the least, was expecting it to be Monster Hunter HD when it was first announced.

This goes hand-in-hand with Dogma's online compatibility, which aims to give you some of the taste of MMORPGs without the annoyances involved. "It's a four-person party, but you only control your own character," Itsuno said. "The other three are AI-controlled, one of which is the pawn that you'll be raising by yourself. The remaining two pawns are characters you can rent from someone else by connecting to the server. You're using the net to play with AI characters raised by your friends, which creates the feeling that you're playing with multiple characters. That's why you could also call this a multiplayer network game for a single player. Making it fully online creates a number of other issues -- you need a certain amount of people to play, you might want to go to bed but can't bail out of a game, and so forth. Part of the concept here was to eliminate those issues. You could think of it as a really easy-to-get-into network game. "

There was a June article that confirmed no multi as well, but the link to that is broken now, so maybe it was a change of heart?

Dragon’s Dogma To Feature Weapons From Upcoming Berserk Movie

Studio 4°C are working on an upcoming Berserk film to be released in January 2012. A collaboration has been arranged between the film and Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma game, which will feature both weapons and armour from the film, according to a translated report at Anime News Network.



This is because Dragon’s Dogma producer, Hiroyuki Kobayashi, as well as several other members of the game’s development team, are fans of the original Berserk manga.



The game is slated for release in early 2012. So far, there’s no word on whether the collaboration is only for Japan or whether it will be featured in the U.S. and European versions of the game as well.
