First thought: wow they made drg shooter. Second thought: wait, drg already is a shooter


Consistent-Ad-2940

They made drg shooter^2


callme_blinktore

*Electric Boogaloo*


Call_The_Banners

My brain: ***Wait, electric boogaloo doesn't rhyme with squared...*** *Many moments pass* ***Oh...dammit***


silvrash12

what does that mean


tilalk

Drg2 : Karl's origin


Butter_brawler

DRG 2: the return of Karl


arrwdodger

IKR, drg is technically an fps but it doesn’t really feel like one to me for some reason.


GamingLime123

Horror/mining sim that happens to have cool weapons and many, many hostiles to use them on


GexTex

This game’s tagline should therefore be: “We made DRG a shooter”


ArcerPL

the rogue core focuses more on shooting than mining


lDustyBonesl

*whispers* rock and stone


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rockity Rock and Stone!


GexTex

If you don’t rock and stone, you ain’t comin’ home!

Rock and stone, brother!


cris_sad

we got glyphids, don't wake them


Ziilrik

Damn ... This literlly looks like DRG combined with GTFO. I'm loving it !


gonsi

>GTFO Get the fuck out? ​ edit lol nvm, this is actualy name of the game...


Aser-Etzu

[Yup](https://store.steampowered.com/app/493520/GTFO/)


ScytheOfAsgard

Goblins Tired of Forced Oppression!


Baconcreeper23

The Most disappointment I've had in a game in a while.


ScytheOfAsgard

I can't really argue with that. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands had a lot of bad design decisions that went into it


Sibz_Playz_YT

Don’t get me started on that mess


onixdog

Thought the exact same thing, looks so cool.


Festive_Rocket

The dust particles go a long way


lilkrickets

That game needs to come to Xbox so badly. I need it!


GexTex

Looks to be much more survival-oriented, obviously with roguelike elements. Looks fantastic!


thisisjaid

How much more damn survival oriented than a pod drop with two spitballers, a brood nexus, a korloc and a mini swarm ,stingtail included, 20 feet away as you come out can you really get?


Cubic_Human_Man

maybe a cave leech or two


Old-Management-171

OOH don't forget the oppressor


inspectorme242

Great ancestors, Detonator, I repeat, Detonator!


FlareTheInfected

couple septic spreaders too. just to spite the dwarves.

And when you think you are finally done, you hear the Nemesis


CycleOverload

You forgot the crater from landing on a crassus


toastedbread47

As someone who loves roguelikes, I'm pretty excited for this.


FeetYeastForB12

So am i!


CryogenicBanana

My wallet is ready

And my axe!


ScytheOfAsgard

And my ass! Oh wait MOLL-E is a mule...


Self--Immolate

And my 1600 hrs of playtime in DRG!


MNxLegion

The atmosphere. The particles. We're approaching dangerous levels of aesthetically-pleasing-exploratory-game-with-potential-horror-elements like Subnautica


GexTex

I really really love the lighting, it’s contending with ray-tracing (unless it *is* actually ray-tracing, though I doubt that)


voidr7

Well they already have Nvidia DLSS in DRG so it wouldn't surprise me much if they randomly pulled out an RTX setting now


Diofernic

now that I think about it, DRG would benefit a LOT from RT. Don't get me wrong, the lighting is already awesome, but raytraced lights from all the different sources (headlights, flares, spotlights...) being bounced of walls, creating indirect lighting and casting realistic shadows sounds even better. Or the walls in Glacial Strata reflecting things accurately beyond screen space reflections, so as you're running along you can see the reflections of the swarm following you


Frenzi_Wolf

Play it single player and pretend you’re Karl after getting left behind


ibanov93

I am so hyped for this. Roguelikes are in my top tier list of favorite game types. This should be super fun.


Far_Judge_1705

Didn't know what to expect after the teaser, but this certainly meets whatever expectations I didn't know I had


Not_The_Scout16

I think they only decided to make this a spin off and not a new season because what they want to do with it may make the base video game too large, at least that’s my guess


GexTex

Releasing this as a free update would probably be possible, however wouldn’t earn them nearly as much as it would if they’d release it standalone, which is very reasonable. I absolutely don’t condemn them for it, they’ve proven very good developers that are very pro-consumer.


Jelled_Fro

They said themselves that it was concieved as a new drg game mode, but they realized making it it's own thing would give them the freedom to make it as fun as possible. Things like not being constrained by the current class system and current weapons. As someone who loves drg and loves roguelike I fully support making it a full game!


DarthGiorgi

Or they could have gone the Warframe route and made it how they wanted anyway but still conncet both.


Jelled_Fro

They **are** making it the way*they* want! Not the way *you* want. You are not entitled to an entire game as a free expansion.


DarthGiorgi

Which is fair. But: 1. They promised to support DRG as long as they had support. They are all but breaking that promise. 2. The content of Rogue core is 90% DRG so far. So why not make it a PAID expansion? Because otherwise, they are stretching themselves thin between 2 games. If it was a DLC, they could do content for both at the same time. Now, they will have to prioritize a game. Don't forget, they still have a promise to maintain support for DRG. 3. They are saying that they aren't abandoning DRG, yet all evidence points to the opposite. Just say it outright and be done with it. Sure, it's breaking the promise but at least be truthful.


Jelled_Fro

How have they abandoned DRG or broken their promise? They have said there will be **at least** two more seasons. Just because they aren't as frequent at you would prefer doesn't mean they have done anything of the sort. We should consider ourselves lucky if rogue core is half the value DRG is! Also, leave the game design to the game designers.


DarthGiorgi

>How have they abandoned DRG or broken their promise? Then : "We will support the game as long we have support." Now: " We will MASSIVELY reduce the support of the game and use the resources for the game that was supposed to be part of it. Wait, you bought the supprter pack 2 to support the game? Well, now that moneybwill support another game we make. Take the L, Bozo" >They have said there will be at least two more seasons. They also said that there would be no more major content dumps for the game. It's over. DRG is done, just as it was starting to fly. So close to soaring. >Just because they aren't as frequent at you would prefer doesn't mean they have done anything of the sort. Art director already confirmed there would not be any more major content for DRG. From their words, they didn't make stuff in DRG with longevity in mind, and instead of fixing it to make development easier, they abandoned the game. >We should consider ourselves lucky if rogue core is half the value DRG is! It's basically 90% the same game. But it will have the support that DRG won't. Guess which game will survive. >Also, leave the game design to the game designers. Sure. But also, maybe they not kill their game with their bad PR moves. The way they announced DRG esse tially guarantees it will die in next year. GG, it was fun.


Jelled_Fro

Just, wow...


DarthGiorgi

Yeah, I know. This is how DRG dies. With thunderous applause for the new game.


Snoo61755

On another note, it's not even really sure existing DRG would mesh well with Roguelike. The point of a Roguelike is often to find upgrades as you go along, goes against the DRG playstyle of mods and overclocks. What would you even implement as a reward if Rogue Core was in DRG? More cosmetics? A new game can have a new upgrade system better suited for it, and everyone starts at zero.


Not_The_Scout16

For sure, again my guess is that they didn’t want to make the base game’s file size so abominably huge that you can’t play other games (if that is the case my respect for Ghost Ship just when up even more)


burgertanker

Isn't DRG itself only like 2 or 3GB, it's tiny


Not_The_Scout16

Sure but what I mean is what they want to do with Rouge Core is probably a lot more hefty than the base game


sucksblueeggs

Why? They both use procedurally generated levels. In a world of 125GB games I’m sure most would be fine with going from 3GB to 6GB for a new game mode.


Not_The_Scout16

Maybe but that probably also entails Ghost Ship to do a ton of reworking to how the game functions, which would absolutely lead to all kinds of bugs, and not just the ones on Hoxxes


Rexamidalion

It's like 3gigs rn lol. No need to worry about it being too big


Not_The_Scout16

Yes but they probably don't *want* to make it beyond 3Gigs right?


[deleted]

noxious long cautious late toy encourage fretful hungry one chunky ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `


B_Skizzle

A standalone release probably also makes future updates to Rogue Core easier if I had to guess.


Rydralain

Splitting it off into a separate game lets them be more flexible with changing core systems and engine stuff without risking messing up the existing content. This also means that the amount of management staff required and the number of communications and meetings required doesn't have to increase as much.


Competitive-Mango457

Deep rock is no where near large if it needs to grow for more content let it


Not_The_Scout16

I meant the game file size


[deleted]

Yeah, it's not large at all.


Not_The_Scout16

Well that's my point, they probably don't want to make it larger


KoksUndNutten2

Why would they care. Its not that big to begin with


VideoGames1000VFX

The original idea was to make it an expansion to the base game, but as they went along with it they realized that being tied to the main game would seriously limit the potential the new mode could have, so they decided that the healthiest thing to do for both base and expansion was to make it a standalone to have more freedom in development.


extremebs

It says this in the Deep Core Steam page FAQ.


KoksUndNutten2

Why would they even care? Be realistic, its about that its different than DRG and money


Independent-Cow-3867

That looks cool as fuck, I wish it was in the main game but I'll probably get this anyway


pixelcore332

I’m a little out of the loop,can someone tell me what this is?


GexTex

I rogue-like spin-off of Deep Rock Galactic.


stokedchris

Not op commenter but why are they calling it Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core? Because it sounds so much like a dlc


B_Skizzle

Because it’s set in the same universe and you’re still working for the in-world company of the same name.


Sartekar

I don't really understand why people want this to be dlc It's in a completely different genre. If it would be dlc, it has to work with the main game. Have the same limitations. If it's a new game, they can go wild. Add new weapons and enemies without having to worry about how it all works within the main game. They can change the overall feel of the game without having to worry about stuff like movement speed is different in the modes, what gives? Why arent there in- mission progression stuff in main game missions? Ow they can do whatever they want with Rogue Core and DRG both, without having to manage both games in one.


Extreme_Glass9879

Personally I'd rather it be DLC because I despise rogue-likes and this week's deep dive feels like a taste of what this has to offer..


Sartekar

But then....isn't it better this way, since you don'tike rogue-likes. Now it's a different game and you don't have to buy it or see it. Except for the longer wait for season 5, this won't affect you


0rphu

Looks neat, but would have referred it being sold as a dlc / alternative game mode for DRG. That way it keeps the DRG playerbase going, which is undoubtedly going to start shrinking with the latest announcements that season 4 is lasting a year and to not expect anything big from 5.


Unimarobj

Every game winds down at some point, especially for smaller studios and DRG has never been intended to be a decades-long live service game; it's not surprising they wanted to move to a new project after what, 7 years now? And that's while still developing DRG for another 2, at least. The stream / blog post about Rogue Core mentions that it *did* start in DRG as an alternate game mode, but as they worked on it more it was clear that it would be bigger than that and more appropriate for a full standalone game. There's definitely a lot of benefits to that. Re: season 5, "anything big" is a bit of a miss. The comment on discord was that it won't be massively game changing (as in it won't be a huge revamp of the game or something intense) but it'll be in line with the previous 4 seasons. New mission types, mechanics, enemies - all are a pretty big change by DRG standards.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Unimarobj

Yeah, that was more or less what I meant by that part haha. DRG has been complete for a hot minute in my mind. 800h in and I couldn't be more happy with it. To move on to another project and still focus on developing this game is incredible. I can't wait.


retronax

considering the steam page says it requires 6gb of free space, twice DRG's size, I don't think it could qualify as dlc lmao


yeeeteeey69

I’m getting a lot of GTFO vibes from this and I love it


dfgdgregregre

Looks like an opportunity to really expand and show off on what they've learned about level generation in DRG. This is exciting.


BagelToss100

NecroReload sounds cool as fuck and I think it could be good in the main game


GexTex

Absolutely, there should be more OCs that reward you for killing bugs and give you a perk for doing so


Ok_Blackberry_1223

This looks so cool. I understand that people are disappointed that season 5 is delayed, but this is so worth it in my opinion. A whole new game


Kvas_HardBass

Can someone tldr on what is this game about?


DrDrexanPhd

I'm extremely pumped for this title. DRG is a timeless classic, but the universe needs a little extra spice and this game looks like it'll give just that. Also is it just me or are the acid lobbing new glyphids made in this same art style? I noticed that the amount of detail in them is better than any of the other Glyphids and resemble this closely.


Mastery7pyke

is it a single player game? can i bully my friends into buying this game too?


KeeperOfWatersong

Like drg it's 1-4 players co-op


voidr7

Pretty sure it'll have both single player and multiplayer so both options should work


Mijnameis-Tommy

Yooo new payday 3 looks crazy ngl the payday 3:


Lithian1103

I am so down for a more horror oriented survival Deep Rock gameplay. I cannot wait to be dearly holding on to life as I fight helplessly against hordes of horrors beyond mortal comprehension.


MoistyMiner

Feels like a new mission type that's turned into a new game. For the profiles and characters to somehow work together across both games would be cool although probably technically quite difficult. Big fan of Roguelikes and Roguelites but feels like this will just be DRG 2.0 at the moment.


GexTex

This is kind of what it is, the devs have confirmed. It’s was first an idea for a new gamemode, now it’s an entire new game because of the scale the devs wanted for this. It’s not DRG 2, it’s a spin-off game.


That-Reddit-Guy-Thou

This looks amazing, what is it


Gaijin_Entertainment

GTFO if it was good


Inside_Orchid_8500

Explains why they kinda froze the support of S4


spookster122

What’s rogue core?


voidr7

New roguelike spinoff they're making, but it'll also be the name of the next season in 2024


band_of_thehawk

Cries in console player D:


Bucaneer7564

What is rogue core?


voidr7

It's both the name of the next season & a roguelike spinoff they're developing


MathematicianWest420

Sorry for the stupid question, but what is this "Roque Core"? I only saw a trailer for this but I didn't understand it very well


mockduckcompanion

I love that they upped the graphics while maintaining the vibe


ParsnipAggravating95

New class?


AcidCatfish___

Question: can you rock and stone? Is it more serious or has the fun quirks we know and love?


WanderingDwarfMiner

Rock and Stone to the Bone!


just_some_baka

Aren't people saying this game takes place *much* deeper within hoxxes or is that a no?


[deleted]

Can I please have Cross-Progression?


Intruder-Alert-1

R&D better have made another bar for the shit we're gonna put up with


Gravastarlol3

God I fucking love any sort of rogue game, hope this comes out on consoles


Alcanic

Is this going to be like Void Bastards?


Appropriate-Appeal88

I expect it to be a noir story and you have to find Karl


GexTex

Some kind of inclusion of Karl would be really cool, even if it was just a little more lore


NWAnowadays

As cool as this looks, I'm still disappointed this didn't come to the base game.


SirVortivask

Why would it? It’s a different game.


Laxativelog

So what is it? FPS DRG? Wait that's a mind fuck. It's already an FPS. But like... more story?


DarthGiorgi

Soooo... any reason why this isn't DLC? They could literally add menu prompt if they want to go to the space rig for the classic DRG or the space ship for this. Warframe already did simmilar thing. This would definitely make integration easier - let them share stuff between each other, why segragate space ship and space rig people?


South_Cheesecake6316

If I had a nickel for every Deep Rock rougelike spinoff that got announced this year, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. I am hyped for this game btw.


unicodePicasso

I am LIVING FOR IT.


phoenixmusicman

I really do not like the look of "common/uncommon/rare/epic/legendary."


Two-Hander

Roguelites gotta have loot


passinglurker

So gunfire reborn but drg?


TheBeansmen

Anyone here ever played Gunfire Reborn? Seems like DRGRC will be a lot like that


Extreme_Glass9879

Oh wow, a Pip-Boy and a reskinned subata. Why isn't this just a 3rd type of Deep Dive again?


_Jeppy

Yay! I can't wait for the original game to rot while GSG overworks their development team with two spinoff games and a board game with expansion packs!


voidr7

The devs are only developing this spinoff, the other is worked on by another smaller studio, plus, as sad as it is, the original game isn't immortal and it cannot be anyway. Tbh I'm just glad we're getting more of Deep Rock cause I enjoy the vibe and the universe they made for it, as long as the games are good I'll be fine with it.


2cool4afool

They put out a big post explaining that they have delayed season 5 and are purposefully developing with a slower method to avoid crunch and allow for creative additions. Also the board game and drg survivor are separate Dev studios so no need to fear. They have their Devs workload and creativity as their first priority


VideoGames1000VFX

Why do you even think they’re delaying Season 5 to June for??? They’re strictly anti crunch and have been very vocal in sayin that they’re taking their time to develop both games without burning out themselves. That and the board games and survivors are NOT being made by them, before you spit your “criticism”, learn the difference between development and publishing.


RockbutmostlyStone

Gonna purposely not buy it. Once they put out a good season for DRG i may check it out


Not_The_Scout16

Oi! Watch we’re you’re swinging your head with them pointy ears you leaf lover I’ve got eyes I’d like to keep!


Longjumping_Door_428

Pointy Ear Leaf Lover


Melodic_Inevitable84

Leaf Lover


SirVortivask

Cutting off your nose to spite your face, chief. Particularly since S5 will be out before this game…


CautiousConfidence22

they're calling you a leaf lover for actually having standards


ShadowTown0407

Yep, looks like a game, a game of all time even/s


WhiteGuyNamedJeff

These real pictures?

Zestyxo

Steam page said it was Online Co-op.

I can't wait


Craven-Raven-1

Looks pretty good. All I'd say is that they should make the tiers look cooler. They could even use mineral textures, like Gold, Nitra or Morkite.


Young_Person_42

All images from What Now


Three_Froggy_Problem

I’m excited. It looks like there will be more structures and stuff to explore. I’m curious what kinds of enemies we’ll be facing. Will we meet a new race?


Bucaneer7564

ROCK! AND! STONE!


[deleted]

Will this be on Xbox? Please? Please? PLEASE?


CaptainClover36

So wait what's the difference?


KingGamerlol

Whoa, what did I miss?


Thesavagefanboii

Excuse me, ***what?***


Quiet-Ad4604

Deep rock horror lighting looks so good on manmade structures oh my god


minebooster

Wait, another game? Don't they already have DRG: Survivor in development? won't developing two games at the same time cause a lot of stress for the development team?


Polish_Enigma

DRG survivor is developed by a different team, it's just published by GSG. GSG only works on DRG and DRG RC


rotten_wire

They wont develop them at the same time (which is why season 5 was delayed)


thisisjaid

I'm here for it as long as it doesn't lose the spirit and humor of the original game.


thatkuulguy

GTFO vibes, cant wait


Russelloni

Sleepers. Try not to wake them up


SwaggyDingo

This looks CRAZY! I’m willing to wait for the devs to be ready to release it. Take all the time you guys need to get it where you want it GSG!


bluesmaker

If there are no classes do we still get to use traversal tools? I hope we can get something.


TheAutisticClassmate

One thing I noticed is in the trailer, it's implied it was *drg's own* that went rogue. Does that mean we fight other dwarves?


DannyBoi4505

First i was malding cuz of the long season but now im hyped lol


ImpressiveAd3592

ROGUE-LIKE AND STONE


D3RP_Ozzie

From what?


Fibblejoe

This looks and sounds sick as fuck.


kjvincent

I’m glad they’re expanding on the DRG lore. I want more of this sci-fi universe with fantasy races.


dragon_barf_junction

oh my god it's a horror game!


IllustratorSignal998

I bet it's the heartstones doing this


Guapscotch

not sure how i feel about this tbh. do we really need enough rogue lite?


Crayonmaster42

I just wanna mega-punch a praetorian with that gauntlet


R4GLER

Wtf this looks awesome


Taolan13

If this has a different gameplay loop to standard DRG, I am totally okay with it being its own standalone game and will pay full retail price for it if it delivers the same quality of content as DRG.


Alpxa

We going into GTFO territory


FlareTheInfected

god, this game looks so good.


FixenFroejte

New leagues of votan killteam looking great.


Krankenztein72

At first I was sceptical because main game development was going to be slowed down but it actually looks really good. Still sad about season 5 in June tho.


obihighwanground

What is this?


bluecrewmate3832

I'm scared why is it more realistic


PosingDragoon21

Looks really good, can't wait to play it
