DAEMON X MACHINA: Titanic Scion Announced, Here's The First Teaser

Oh, nice! I never tried out the first one since the reviews didn't seem great for it, but I'm definitely interested in what a sequel could bring.

The people who market this game really are amateurs. They treat this game like it is a AAASSS title when really it is struggling to find an audience. Maybe it is an AAA title. But no one knows that. The onus is on you; not us.

$40 game. Find an audience. Stop doing cinematics like you are Capcom or MS or Sony or we should care what this is. Some cinematics and game play. Marvelous - you have talent - for your own sake show it properly

Can't wait for this game to sell 2 copies. Remember when it was the opener for Nintendo's E3 2018 presentation? It really set expectations for the rest of the showing, which was abysmal.

Nice to see another DxM title, first game was pretty good. A shame that there's no gameplay, but cool to see the confirmation regardless.

@Not_Soos I’m a bit surprised at your cynicism here. The first DxM sold over a million copies,. Admittedly, the first game had a lot of flaws, but it was still fun. This being a sequel can bring lots of improvement. It’s disappointing that no gameplay was shown but that seems to be the case with every game revealed at the Marvelous event.

Rune Factory 6 and the next new Story of Seasons games were shown with real time graphics, I´m hyped.

Hope they learned from the first game

I enjoyed the first one well enough, but I must say, I was really disappointed with the showcase, it's ridiculous to me that there wasn't a single Senran Kagura announcement. at this point, I'd even take Switch ports of the older games.

How's Nintendo going to kick off a June Direct, Direct Mini, or Partner Showcase now???

@Not_SooS Remember: Nier: Automata wouldn't exist if the director didn't consistently put out a bunch of average and sometimes plain awful games which struggled to sell even above 300k under the Nier/Drakengard brand.

Nier: Automata went on to become one of the most beloved games the year it released and is considered to be an all time great ARPG.

The first DxM game got a lot of criticism but I'm sure the developer is well aware of that. I'm all for a sequel to a new IP which showed a lot of promise since the start, there aren't many mech games out there so there certainly is a market.

The first game was one of the most boring mecha games I've ever played with some of the most annoying anime characters I've ever seen.

I really wanted to like DxM. I like a good mecha game. But something about it was so...dull. And with a new Armored Core is just around the corner... a new DxM has an uphill climb ahead.

Nice. I will be on the lookout for it.

I need to beat the first one. Need more free time.

Daemon X Machina has such a unique art style. It's a shame the story and gameplay were meh. Hopefully the sequel can improve those aspects.

This kinda came out of nowhere.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the first game (though I remember absolutely nothing about the story/narrative), but it seemed like it didn't make a huge splash (I think it was crushed between Link's Awakening & Astral Chain. Maybe DQXIS too?). Glad to see it apparently did pretty well for them though.

You know, I had a pretty good time with the first game, and other than the story being barely coherent, I really don't get why people look down on it. That being said, I had zero expectation of it ever getting a sequel, so this is a nice surprise.

It’s time! I suited up and prepare for the future! My bday is coming and I am going to pilot my Arsenal once again. I am going to save the last spots for this game. I did play the first game and it I liked it. It was from the same designer that also produced Armored Core as it was presented at Nintendo Treehouse Live 2019. The multiplayer was awesome! High intense dog fighting through the archaic settings. Facing off bosses with other pilots. And there was the Explore mode too where you can get sweet loot for your mech. Yeah! I look forward to it.

really should have given more info about what improvements they've made. i don't even remember what that robot they ... teased looked like or if they had a zoomed out shot.

@praystation Never heard of the first game selling 1 million copies, only that Marvelous said that it did "very well". Mind telling me where you got that info from?

Oh, nice. Hopefully the sequel can build on the first one. Everyone's eyes will be on Armoured Core so it does have it's work cut out, but I thought the first game was decent enough.

I should give the first game another chance. I stopped playing because it felt a little bit too dark. Still I like the unique artstyle.
The gameplay was good too.

I played this on game trials with a friend a year or two ago and i absolutely loved it, the multiplayer definitely adds to the experience overall

I remember this… it was the game people kept forgetting was coming out, wasn’t it?

I wonder if they’ll remember this time?

I actually didn’t know people considered this game bad lol, I never checked on it, and didn’t have a switch at the time, well I might as well wait to get this one instead.

@praystation The first game had solid core gameplay but felt like more of a tech demo without a really solid vision. Hopefully this new producer will help out with that cause they are going to have to step up their game especially with the new Armored Core.

I really wanted to like the first one and gave it a go when it was part of the NSO trial scheme a couple of years ago, but I just found it very average and bland.

First game was fine. Problem is people just immediately filtered it as “AC at home” + the usual exclusive bias gripes at the time. Looking forward to the 2nd game improvements.

Loved the first one! Sign up for the second!!

This is one sequel I never imagined we would see. The original is a good game that got swallowed up in a vacuum and forgotten. I know very few people who bothered to try it, despite it getting quite a big initial push and being one of the first big games on switch to have a pre-release demo. It's a mech game, that's either your thing or it isn't, they all can get tedious, and this one is no exception, but, it's also really fun.

@JohnnyC The released game was much better than the demo.

@YANDMAN I meant the released game, not the demo. Nintendo made the full game available for a week via their trials scheme for NSO subscribers a year or two ago.

That's cool. Played the demo for the first game. It wasn't for me, but the sequel may be for someone. If I were their graphic designer, I'd at least advise them to go with a different background color or like a flourish behind the text or something, to distinguish this game from the other. But I suppose I'm not.

I actually prefer the mech designs in this game to the ones in Armored Core. I really need to play the first one and just give it a try. I see mixed reception on it but Ill judge for my self

Yeah, some closeups of a generic sci fi suit don’t really do much convincing.

Wonder if anyway wants to play some multiplayer of the first one. Been meaning to come back to it for a loooong time now

@StarPoint was going to say the same thing. I enjoyed the demos of 1 but it wasn’t enough win me over. I’m 100% interested in a sequel though. Eyes: Peeled.

EDIT: Didn’t watch the trailer because I see there is no gameplay. I know nothing more and at the same time, nothing less by not watching so why waste my time.

Ill give the first one another try. I just remember not liking that there are too many characters introduced each episode

MACH DAEMON X

Uugh.. This could have been Soul Sacrifice 2 instead.

@JohnnyC Sure.
