One of the best-looking games shown at Gamescom 2021 was a complete surprise
GamesCom 2021 started on Wednesday with some Bombshell ads, such as Marvel Midnight, Saints Row’s reboot, Halo Infinite release date and presenting an Xbox Xbox series with personalized theme, but an advertisement really surprised us .
The trailer was for a game called Dokev that, according to the Show’s Host Geoff Keighley, was a game of MMO Mono World Collection of a South Korea developer Pearl Abyss (black desert creators) that seems to combine accelerated rhythm battles and psychedelic visuals.
What is more striking about the trailer outside of his pop soundtrack and his dream world full of slightly disturbing children is how the good world looks. The contrast in its lighting is different from anything we have seen before and its particle physics rivals anything we have seen in an unreal engine trailer.
While it is quite difficult to understand everything that is happening in the trailer, the general gain it seems to be that you will use your monsters, called Dokebi, to fight against other monsters in an attempt to capture them and grow your team. It does not seem like commands your monsters to the pokemon commands, but it jumps into the skin with a large hammer and … a missile pitcher?
It is a bit difficult to follow, but it is a straight caramel to look into action.
Analysis: Trailers sometimes about promise and then under delivery
It is a bold claim of a showcase that included the trailers for a new Marvel game, a new game of halo and a new entry into the Saints Row franchise, but from all of them, Dokev felt as if he had it. The others, although certainly epic in their own way, felt like the things we had seen before. Dokev is his own strange thing that is part of Monster Hunter and the Channel Space Part 5.
That said, creating a great trailer and creating a great game are two different things.
At some point in our lives, we have all seen a trailer for something that promised it to the world only for the final product to deliver. In recent years, games like dead island, the order of 1886 and the sky of no man had these striking trailers that promised something completely different from the real game.
We are not saying that this will be the case of dokev when it comes out in consoles and pc, but, like anything else that seems too good to be true, guarantees a bit of skepticism until we see a little more.
