So there's multiplayer in this?

Not really. They are AI controlled.

That's what I thought.

Erm, players can come in and take control of party members or bring their own character in to play in your party. I heard it only this week on Giant Bomb.

When was this announced? Capcom have been getting stick for this not having multiplayer for ages.

Jeff said it and he went to Captivate. I dunno.

Link me do, pls.

Dragon’s Dogma is a co-op game, you just don’t know it yet
Let’s say your main Pawn gets hired by another Dragon’s Dogma player while you are offline, and that player then battles a massive Cyclops monster with your main Pawn in their squad.

Every big monster in Dragon’s Dogma has a hard-to-reach or hidden weak spot, and chances are you will miss a lot of these during your travels. If your main Pawn has successfully defeated a boss monster with another player, they will gain detailed knowledge of how to defeat it.

When the time comes for you to fight the same monster, your main Pawn will shout out battle tips and information about weak points and strategies that they learned from fighting it previously with another Dragon’s Dogma player.

The same goes for quests. As the world of Dragon’s Dogma is absolutely massive, you will need to find specific locations, key items and NPCs to complete quests, which can potentially take you hours of exploration to find.

But if your main Pawn has been hired to complete a quest by another Dragon’s Dogma player, you will gain quest, NPC and item locations, as well as important tips that will help you in the field when you come to tackle the same quest in your own game.

So in a way, all Dragon’s Dogma players are co-operatively helping each other complete the game, much like the Dark Souls messaging system, except much, much deeper.

There's sort of offline online component to the pawn system but I haven't heard it described as MP. edit: yeah, that^

Maybe he got confused with that aspect of the game then. That's a shame if that's the extent of it.

It wasn't Jeff who said it actually.

I think it was Arthur in the week before lasts Rebel FM. I'm honestly not lying, I heard them use those exact words. 'Allows you to jump into another players party' :fp:

It was a comment by someone on Rebel FM or The Bombcast anyway as they're the only two podcasts that I listen to who have talked about it.

I can see how someone would get a bit mixed up by it.

Yeah, it's a shame there's no co-op but it still looks good

Demo next Tuesday (except for EuroPSN, which is a day later):

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-04-16-dragons-dogma-demo-release-date-announced

:mrgreen:

The Dragon's Dogma releases next week, Capcom has announced.
You can download it from Xbox Live Marketplace and from the US PlayStation Store on Tuesday 24th April. It goes live a day later, on Wednesday, 25th April, on the European PlayStation Store.
In the demo you can play as two of the game's character classes, the Fighter and the Strider, in two encounters. You also have a party of three Pawns. The Fighter encounter is a Prologue quest set before the events of the main game. The Strider quest is set in the open plains surrounding the capital of Gransys. Both end with a big bad boss fight.
You get to design your main character and your main Pawn using Dragon's Dogma's character creation tool. Buy the full game when it launches in May and you'll be able to export both characters over.

Going through some of the older posts on the game on GAF and apparently the game has black borders

Good news on the demo.

Maybe I'm easily pleased but I'd rather lose some screen real estate if it means a stable frame rate.

PostRe: Dragon's Dogma by **Bigerich** » Tue Apr 17, 2012 11:21 am

I'm not sure it will have that much in common with Dark Souls, really.

I think of a couple of drawbacks: Black bars on a plasma screen is bad news as it'll make the screen more susceptible to image retention. But then that's what the zoom is for, right? Yeah, the zoom option is handy but depending on the size of the black bars you may end up sacrificing even more of the image.
Personally I'm not all that fussed as I'll be playing on a LCD.
