While DokeV‘s world looks great, the same can’t really be said for its creatures… At least not yet.īased on the short glimpse we got, they lack the creative umph of Pokémon. Of course, I will reserve final judgement until Pokémon Legends: Arceus is released, but it seems destined for “meh”. And while diehard fans will always get the new games, it doesn’t entice anyone new. But, fundamentally, it hasn’t kept up with the times.
Why, with all the money and success Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have made off the back of the series, they aren’t producing a game that looks even remotely close to DokeV is simply baffling. Pokémon Legends: Arceus looking distinctly “meh”.
There’s just nothing about it that screams “next-gen”. Pokémon Legends: Arceus, an open-world action RPG, coming in January 2022, is perhaps most in line with what DokeV will be. I’d go as far as to say it looks like one of the most “alive” and vibrant worlds I’ve seen from an open-world gameplay trailer. Whatever your thoughts on its kid-orientated approach, its open-world is incredibly impressive. Credit: Pearl AbyssĭokeV has, without doubt, set a new graphical benchmark for the genre. However, anyone would struggle to argue that, technically speaking, it has improved in parallel with gaming hardware.
Yes, improvements have been made to that trusty Pokémon formula over the years. But it has arguably fallen into the same formulaic rut that has trapped other long standing franchises like Call of Duty and FIFA. They have even described it as “a creature-collecting open world action-adventure”, which is pretty much Pokémon‘s whole schtick. And developer Pearl Abyss may very well be striving for DokeV to be the next Pokémon. #DokeV was initially introduced as an MMO, but we decided to move the game in a different direction and it’s now a creature-collecting open world action-adventure.Dive into a gorgeous and lively world where Dokebi and humans live side-by-side! Watch #DokeV’s all-new gameplay trailer which premiered at #gamescom2021 #OpeningNightLive and let’s get a look at what the inhabitants of DokeV are cooking up 💙 /H2WCYqL7Ld- DokeV August 25, 2021Īfter watching the trailer, my first thought was “Pokémon”. Earlier this year, Pearl Abyss changed course by announcing that Crimson Desert would no longer be an MMO. Pearl Abyss has acknowledged that the current DokeV isn’t the same thing that was initially introduced. The reveal is somewhat surprising since Pearl Abyss has been describing DokeV as an MMO since the game’s announcement.ĭokeV is actually an open world action-adventure (not an MMO) but regardless of genre we’re going for fun, cute, and exciting! ?Įven the game’s own website didn’t quite get the memo. The DokeV Twitter account responded on Twitter to a user claiming that the game is not an MMO. We saw this happen with Perfect World Entertainment, and now Pearl Abyss is doing it with Crimson Desert and DokeV. If 20 have a cohesive theme in the MMO sphere, it’ll probably be MMO developers announcing that the games they previously described as MMOs are no longer MMOs. Pearl Abyss loves scaling down their games.
