Capcom opens “DD” teaser site, countdown to end next week

Capcom’s about to announce something big. How do we know? Because some numbers appeared on a website.

Capcom’s opened a brand new teaser site for something called “DD.” As always, however, nothing short of a Sherlock Holmes-Scooby Doo super team could decipher the page – which depicts a dragon silhouette and little else – taken on its own.

Fortunately, 1UP‘s provided us with a nice little thing called context. According to the site, Japanese publications have fished out a Capcom trademark for something called “Dragon’s Dogma,” and if the dragon-shaped silhouette with the initials “DD” fits, well…

The clock’s scheduled to rasp out its last, desperate tick next Wednesday, so concrete details shouldn’t be too far off.

Oh goody, hopefully it’s something decent because there’s hardly anything due for release in the latter half of 2011… :(

Dhouls’n Doblins?
It looks like the gargoyle of Ghouls’n Goblins logo:

U MAD?

Uncharted 3, Skyrim, Resistance 3, RAGE, Gears 3, Arkham City, The Last Guardian, Skyward Sword, Mass Effect 3… A billion more!

2011 is chockablock with amazing titles, this half and the later!

Anyway, on topic: I bet this will be, without a doubt, that game that people want more than anything. So start making your wish lists, because this will definitely be the game you want… After all, when has a countdown timer ever disappointed you before?

Judging by Capcom’s past history with female character designs, I thought this was going to be a game about boobs.

@3 I know, I know – I was being sarcastic. Good luck to Capcom though, if they do plan on releasing this (whatever it is) in the latter half of 2011.

Ah, fooled once again by the internet’s inability to display sarcasm :/

Capcom’s output lately has been a bit weak (robotic wife limbs) so it wouldn’t surprise me if this is another flaccid failure.

My money firmly sits on a new ‘Breath of Fire’ game. Last one was caled ‘Dragon’s Quarter’.

So ‘Breath of Fire – Dragon’s Dogma’ has that right ring to it.

I would buy it. BoF DQ – as hard as it was – was one of my favourites on the PS2. The SNES-Debut was equally brillant, if a tat bit traditional.

While it’d be cool to think it was a new ‘Breath of Fire’ entry, I can’t really imagine the Capcom of today actually doing one.

Bringing back Double Dragon – awesome!

Or its Maria Whittaker reboot (about the same era)

I’m pretty sure Capcom has nothing to do with Double Dragon, they dont own the IP.

Double Dragon is Taito, not Capcom. And I’ve no idea what the “Maria Whittaker” reboot is – the only Maria game I can think of is Barbarian, which was neither Capcom nor anything to do with Double Dragon.

I could have sworn I found the inlay to Barbarian II under my foster brother’s bed one time.

You can’t really blame him, I’ve been thinking about it since post 9! :-D

It’s either a new Darkwing Duck or a new entry in the Dungeons & Dragons side scrolling series.

Dragon Quarter was brilliant.

If they did do a new one then they should make it an XBLA/PSN game. But most likely it’d end up on the DS or something where I wouldn’t play it. :-|

I doubt it is, but yea a HD remake of Dungeons and Dragons for xbla/PSN would be killer.

Hoping for another BoF as I’m playing Dragon Quarter now !
yes it is awesome & yes it is tough as nails, but highly enjoyable, with a superb battle system and a very decent plotline wow.
