Capcom Responds to Criticism

"There is one male main character in Deep Down," says Capcom.

Capcom has revealed that the US and Europe release dates for its upcoming PlayStation 4 adventure Deep Down has yet ot be decided, also the publisher addressed the criticism concerning the non existing playable female characters.

A report earlier this week, from  from Sony Japan's PS4 Lab series, which said players could only be male for the purposes of story. After the choice received criticism, producer Kazunori Sugiura has explained the decision on Facebook, saying that there is only one protagonist in the game.

"From our overseas firm, there was big misconception in an article claiming that there were 12 main characters in Deep Down, all of them male," Sugiura said.

"As the person in charge on the development side, I'd like to explain the matter," he continued. "There is one male main character in Deep Down. The story is being developed around him and his surrounding Ravens comrades."

An beta for the game was expected to begin around about the time the PlayStation 4 launches in Japan on February 22, but this appears to have been delayed.
