Was there already a topic about the game deep down? Capital letters in game titles, c'mon guys get with the program! Anyway, it's a game that... hold your breath... looks inspired by Demon's Souls! On the other hand, it seems to be one of the few games that may out-Souls the gritty Souls games: the historically plausible suits of armor look fabulous, the over-the-shoulder camera is claustrophobic and combat looks appropriately heavy (sorry, no rolling in a 50 pound suit of armor). Lighting seems fantastic: that should satisfy those still crying over Dark Souls II. The environnements themselves look a bit generic, though. The ice shields and the freeze time effect in the first video at 13:10 are brilliant, I especially like how the projectiles linger in midair until the freeze effect ends.
Are you ready for the bad? It's going to be a MMO, a free to play, MMO! Mwahahaha! And you know that bit in Assassin's Creed where you're actually someone from the future going back in time? These guys thought: hey we should have that! On the other hand, if your futuristic pad is only a customisable hub for your adventures, I'd be down with that (notice you only see yourself in first person in the future).

I think it is more based on the monster hunter/mass effect 3 system of groups of four people.

I guess you're allowed multiple inspirations... "so yeah, guys, this is going to be like Dark Souls, Assassin's Creed and Monster Hunter, only better! aaaand it's a multiplayer, F2P, randomly generated MMO! So can I set you up for a few thousand shares of our development studio?"
You guys look like good people, have some more videos, they're on me!

Isn't this a Capcom game? They're dropping even deeper down their hole.

I can count the number of good F2P MMOs on one hand, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

Yeah, I'm really intested in playing, but something smells fishy.
They've already had some delays, but that might become the norm for "quadruple A" titles. More important is that the game uses their brand spanking new and sexy Panta Rhei engine (which, by the way, is the best name for a game engine ever) and it seems strange to me to start commercializing it in a F2P game. It's like putting your F1 racing engine in a 1989 Ford Escort, but maybe I'm just prejudiced against F2P.

it is more like trying your engine mark 1 with a cheap ford escort for finding any kind of error before putting it directly inside your best racing car and go to the races.
They likely are going to use it like a free beta test and they even can get some extra money from the deal.
