Capcom's Promising Pragmata Making 'Steady Progress' on PS5

Is there any idea what sort of game it is yet?

"incorporating the youthful sensibilities of digital natives" - Sounds dreadful.

How can a title we know nothing about (except a very vague CG trailer) be considered "promising"?
Is there anyone known and/or with a good CV attached to the project? Apparently, it's fronted by “newly hired young employees”, so I guess not.

@Jango-Forest that's because you're reading a tiny soundbite of a 103 page document. Download the financial report. This quote is on page 49. Then see if you're still as cynical. Its too easy to do that when you react without thought to what you've been spoon-fed

@Jango-Forest That mess of nonsense corporate-speak gave me a good laugh.

@Integrity "I feel that incorporating the youthful sensibilities
of digital natives adds a new appeal to IP."

That really doesn't sound much better even in the full context.

@RBMango but that isn't the full context. The full context is found in the report. Unfortunately I can't copy and paste that page here. Its part of the Creative Strategy and is to do with training developers and leadership candidates. Plus what you are reading is English translated from Japanese so you have to allow for clumsy language to a degree. It's not them trying to sound cool or hip to the media, it's a report for its shareholders about their company's plan for the future.

Could be a winner, fingers crossed!

I wish we could go back to the time when a game was announced and arrived a few months later. There will come a point I'll have to consider whether i may actually be dead before things arrive.

@Weebleman in fairness to Capcom here, it was Sony who chose to showcase Pragmata as part of PS5's hype and Capcom haven't said anything about the game since. This article has been generated purely from taking 2 paragraphs that mention Pragmata directly out of a 103 page financial report aimed at shareholders.

PS is the one creating news where there isn't any. Capcom sensibly hasn't hyped this game up yet as clearly there's a long way to go with it.

Unfortunately your wish is likely to never come true because there's too much of a need to fill time in a world of 24/7 game website reporting. If the publishers themselves aren't creating hype then websites will 😊

Pragmata is: FPS; hobby-grade coop campaign; genre-blended, multi-mode competitive e-sports; meta-growth, choice + epic Pragmata Heroes!

Eyes on this game for sure

Yea, I dont have much hope for this title. Capcom doesn't do well with new IPs. They seem to not have the devs that are capable of anything but sequels to there existing properties.

This will be deep down all over again.

@Integrity In all fairness, in order to showcase a 3rd party game in an event both parties need to agree. Capcom chose to showcase it in Sony's event in order to generate hype and awareness about their new game, even knowing it was years away from coming out.

I swear to the gaming gods, if the game is live-service, I'm gonna birth cactuses.

@rpg2000 fine, I can agree with that. And so far that's all they've done which is to their credit. That's why websites are having to scrape information from any source they can no matter how trivial. And look at the result, we've got people here being negative about the game just because of the text and translation of a financial presentation that's been taken out of context as if it were a quote aimed towards the media for publicity purposes. I don't blame websites directly, after all the financial reports has been posted in this article for anyone to look at. I did and that why I've not come away being cynical just for the sake of it.

I really like the look of what I've seen of this. It gonna be right up me crumpet!

@Jango-Forest Hahaha 100% agreed 😂 crazy how one sentence of corporate speak can completely turn people (myself included) off a game. Maybe it's best to not saying anything at all if you're not got gonna give us some actual details on atleast what kind of game it is.

Hopefully doing better than Deep Down and the Panga Rhei engine 😅

Hmmm I smell vaporware.

I still want deep down.

they never mentioned "PS5" in the report, that is a clickbait title as the game is a multiplatform game available on PC. series X/S and ps5. they only said development is going steady.

@Illy333 please tell me what was I said that is wrong?

Actually don't bother. Having read your comment history I see you're a troll with hardly anything positive, nice, friendly, interesting or constructive to say.

@Weebleman I know games, were FINISHED, beta tested and all the kinks worked out.. There were no patches, no bugs, or any other issues. It was the golden era, then again gaming wasn't such a big money making market, so there was no pressure. Developers were happy, and made quality projects and the directors had constant feed back with the makers of their games. Now its "crunch" and "put it out now dammit!" culture. We gamers also have a little fault into all of this, by preordereing, a whole industry based off of hype drops, and the constant spoon feeding us of snippets, uncompleted game trailers, and high res CG showcases that don't represent in game world or mechanics...

the proverbial "genie is out of the bottle" and we cannot go back anytime soon....

@Illy333 keep telling myself that you're a troll? OK will do! 😊
