"However since this year our core development team is immersing itself on developing Crimson Desert, we will do our best so that for DokeV we will be able to disclose additional information as they are done." "DokeV along with Crimson Desert is being developed meeting our internal development roadmap," said CEO Heo Jin-young.
It seems that Crimson Desert is also the priority. However, the loss of developers was confirmed on a conference call alongside the report as the completion of its intern programme. Rumours had spread that DokeV had lost a significant number of its core developers, perhaps resulting in the delay, as reported by MassivelyOverpowered and DokeVClub. A standard that Pokémon isn’t quite living up to.Watch on YouTube DokeV - World Premiere Gameplay Trailer | gamescom 2021 But because DokeV has shown an innovative spark of possibility that may well set a new standard. Or because DokeV is a guaranteed success. In 2021, Pokémon, in its current form, should be concerned about DokeV. As a result, they’ve lost the need to innovate because the market was theirs. And let’s face it, Pokémon hasn’t had any serious competition for years (hey, Digimon). But with a lack of real competition comes complacency. The real shame is that Pokémon could quite easily look as visually awesome as DokeV – if they really wanted it to. While it’s too early to tell if DokeV really has what it takes to supplant Pokémon as the king of creature-collecting, it certainly has potential. Credit: Pearl Abyss Will DokeV be the next Pokémon? But if DokeV musters up some exciting looking critters alongside its flamboyant and fun open-world, Pokémon should be worried. Luckily for Nintendo, Pokémon retains the edge there for now. So, it’d be a shame if Pearl Abyss didn’t have more up their sleeve on the creatures front. That said, there’s no doubt more to come from DokeV. And ultimately, if you can’t match Pikachu and Charizard, you’re facing an uphill battle. 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. Dive into a gorgeous and lively world where Dokebi and humans live side-by-side!
