>not putting a Splatoon clone on the platform with the audience for Splatoon
It's almost like if you make a newfangled pizza you might want to go to a pizza joint, not a burger one to find the right audience.
idk, as the disney racing game, or chocobo racing game or any other kart game or what about the nick brawl game, it doesn't matter and if anything at least some people who like said game / aesthetics could try samey ones.
By that logic there wouldn't be any other JRPGs or platformers just because Pokémon and Mario are there you moron.
Nintendo doesn't give a frick if it's there or not.
There's nothing in it that would violate standards of the console - at least I assume this shit isn't full of full frontal nudity/sex or unrated - so it's all on Squeer whether it appears or not.
PS4 was selling like hotcakes that even Sony didn't know why, but it is clear it was because Xbox was going the always online/TV route which "gamers" didn't like back then.
Now while PS5 is selling, the split between software is noticeably skewed to PC, that's cause now PS5 gamers are normies who only buy FIFA/CoD, and Sony exclusives selling in the 10s of millions because they only stock bundled consoles with no discounts.
It seems people who played the beta liked it but you can tell barely anyone is giving a frick about the game, the beta should have been on PC too, instead of sucking sonys wiener they should give their new IP all the boost it can get, it wasn't even on ps4 ffs.
I actually did play the beta and it's a pretty mediocre game. It's not particularly like Splatoon, even though the core concept is somewhat the same.
I don't think any amount of system-porting would have helped.
>or save SE?
How? The latest trailer has less than a third of a million views, and statistically not even half of those will buy the game.
How is it going to save SE when it will be dead in 6 months?
That is called a "reaction image". First day on Ganker.org/v/? Please spend more time lurking (that is, reading threads without posting) until you feel you understand the board culture 🙂
I know this site is going to go full "IT'S WOKE THERE'S FEMALES AND Black folk IN IT SO IT'S BAD" but I think this game is gonna die out naturally after like 3 months. It's a splatoon clone that's gonna lack any real depth
Nah, they won't pull the plug after 3 months. SE are a lot of things but they aren't quitters, even with they kinda should be.
I personally blame FF14. After YP managed to revive it, SE think that no game is beyond trying because -worst case scenario- they'll try to revive it.
I'm seeing at least 12 months of uptime before the inevitable shutdown.
NTA, but those were service games, destined to die, while this is a physical game meant to be sustained through purchases alone and supplemented by microtransactions. It's a very different business model.
It reminds me of Destruction All Stars, Bleeding Edge, Lawbreakers, Babylon's Fall and Forespoken. But, it has that kpop aesthetic so maybe it'll get some coomer bux?
I played the beta and it was ok but suffers from the same problem as any other team based game. hoping and praying you don't get shitters on your team.
Anyway I can see this being a thing that Square-Enix pays streamers to play for like a week and then it'll be one month of resetera and reddit desperately trying to convince people it's better than Splatoon before its player count plummets and then it disappears from the news for half a year until Squeenix announces it's pulling support.

>Destruction All Stars
Did that ever come out? I saw a bunch of moronic trailers and screenshots but I never actually heard about the game releasing.
It was a launch title for PS5, it had like 300 players lol. Wonder why companies think they can do well with these types of games, it's REALLY rare to get Rocket League or Overwatch levels of success and even those games are starting to die.
>will sell for AA-price (60ish bucks is the current speculation)
That's fine as long as it will include 2 years of updates and won't rely on like 4 kinds of different in-game monetizahahaha sorry
They need to expand to PC yesterday. And I don't mean giving a 30% cut to fat frick Gaben, I mean actually bringing their shop there. For frick sake dude.
It's a Square Enix live service game, so it has literally zero chance of being worth playing. They'll shut the servers down within six months and everyone will just lose all the in-game shit they paid for.
It is like many people say gamepass will ruin gaming because devs will make mediocre games for the service, SE basically makes games to get the sony check and any actual sales are just a bonus.
That can probably be enough for this game because it's low-tier slop. But in the long run they're going to have to make something that's good if they want to maintain growth.
Happy bright vibrant colors, big eyes and inclusiveness!. You're not living in a pathetic dystopia, you're happy, think happy thoughts, go to work, be happy, do your taxes, feel happy, don't ask questions.
>At least the characters don't look like fricking hipsters.
How do you figure? The most recognizable character in the game looks like she streams on Twitch from her hot-tub.
This is all kids play games for these days, you only care about being a part of something.
This was always true for kids to some degree but is far worse due to growing up with the world wide web.
You kids should be talking about what you like and dislike about a game, not this nonsense.
>You kids should be talking about what you like and dislike about a game, not this nonsense.
What's there to talk about? It's a thin Splatoon copy with outsourced character models that will feature microtransactions and be dead in 6-12 months. Who cares how good the guns feel or how nice the music is?
>you only care about being a part of something
I've heard this shit from boomers a few times now and I'm starting to think you might actually believe it. I can't speak for everyone but the vast majority of us don't give a FRICK what we're "part of". It's fun to see bad multiplayer games that employ awful practices fail and die. While BG3 is primarily single-player game, has no DLC, no microtransactions and prints money.
I don't understand how good the pitches must be to get this stuff greenlit. Like are they just VERY desperate for ideas and the bar is insanely low, or do they actually hear "Splatoon with minorities on a console no one owns" and think that it's a goldmine?
It comes across as tone-deaf at best and downright idiotic at worst.
It'll probably have an amazing first week, game will review well and people are going to want to check it out.
Week 2 will just be riding the wave that week 1 generated.
Week 3 contrarians will try it out, this is where videos of it being compared (negatively) to Splatoon will start to pop up.
By week 4/ a month streamers will move on from it, and slowly but surely player count will start dropping.
This will continue until month 4, where videos start popping up with a sort of "What happened to Foamstars (the Splatoon killer)" vibe on Youtube, and consensus will end up being that the game is fun but dead, because updates were too slow.
Good analysis, but you forgot the obnoxious fanboys who keep talking about how Foamstars was so much better than Splatoon because (insert mature and "complex" game mechanic Splatoon lacks).
If one hadn't seen any gameplay whatsoever and saw these two were side by side in a store, I doubt anyone would ever pick up foamstars.
What an awful and bland cover.
the game looks nice, it's a shame it's already doomed and everybody will indiscriminately shit on it just because "how dare you copy le hecking splatoon" even though iterating on existing games is the basis of the entire video game industry
If you're going to top something that already exists, the new thing needs to be better than the old thing. Making "Splatoon: But With Women and Minorities" is not better.
Untrue, every single Splatoon game features the female character front and center. All of the idol characters that are the "main" characters of the games are also female aside from the cartoon manta ray.
>not on Switch
DOA
>putting a splatoon clone on the console with splatoon
Kinda worked for Ninjala.
>Ninjala
Plays absolutely nothing like Spatoon, the character design is the only similarity.
>not putting a Splatoon clone on the platform with the audience for Splatoon
It's almost like if you make a newfangled pizza you might want to go to a pizza joint, not a burger one to find the right audience.
Why would Nintendo accept a clone of a first-party game that will actively compete with the game it's cloned?
idk, as the disney racing game, or chocobo racing game or any other kart game or what about the nick brawl game, it doesn't matter and if anything at least some people who like said game / aesthetics could try samey ones.
By that logic there wouldn't be any other JRPGs or platformers just because Pokémon and Mario are there you moron.

Why would Nintendo not?
>Why would Nintendo accept a clone of a first-party game that will actively compete with the game it's cloned?
It has a similar art style to Splatoon and that's where the similarities end
the gameplay is very different
Art doesn't look like Splatoon tho
it already came out on switch tho
ngl I wish this was on PC so I could be a foam sissy too
You are a foamsissy if you believe it on your heart Anon.
You'll be part of the ack soon!
>Not on PC.
Kek, Matsuda really was dumb to believe in the PS5. The PS4 was lightning in a bottle now most of them are PC gamers.
>The PS4 was lightning in a bottle
Explain. The PS4 had 1 game -lifetime-.
PS4 was selling like hotcakes that even Sony didn't know why, but it is clear it was because Xbox was going the always online/TV route which "gamers" didn't like back then.
Now while PS5 is selling, the split between software is noticeably skewed to PC, that's cause now PS5 gamers are normies who only buy FIFA/CoD, and Sony exclusives selling in the 10s of millions because they only stock bundled consoles with no discounts.

How is it going to save SE when it will be dead in 6 months?
Wait, you have to PAY for this shit?
It has a physical release. You can actually own this.
Is this game for zoomies or homosexuals I can’t tell
What's the difference?
>or
>posts kh
How does one lack this much selfawareness
That is called a "reaction image". First day on Ganker.org/v/? Please spend more time lurking (that is, reading threads without posting) until you feel you understand the board culture 🙂
cringe larping newbie
Based baiting anon, this is the best kind of trolling and that other anon just fell hook line and sinker xDDDD (get FRICKED anon lol!)
I know this site is going to go full "IT'S WOKE THERE'S FEMALES AND Black folk IN IT SO IT'S BAD" but I think this game is gonna die out naturally after like 3 months. It's a splatoon clone that's gonna lack any real depth
not even that, at least haters can keep the discussion of a game alive but everyone is simply disregarding and ignoring the game.
Kinda feels like pic related. Sure, it has politically controversial topics, but that doesn't really matter if the game's slop.
Nah, they won't pull the plug after 3 months. SE are a lot of things but they aren't quitters, even with they kinda should be.
I personally blame FF14. After YP managed to revive it, SE think that no game is beyond trying because -worst case scenario- they'll try to revive it.
I'm seeing at least 12 months of uptime before the inevitable shutdown.
didn't they kill some multiplayer and a bunch of 7R mobile games in less than a year?
NTA, but those were service games, destined to die, while this is a physical game meant to be sustained through purchases alone and supplemented by microtransactions. It's a very different business model.
>
If nobody is playing it and making cosmetic purchases after a year they'll release it for free and stop making new content.
No way in hell is this meant to be sustainable through purchases. SE definitely has already planned for it to become F2P in half a year.
A tummy worth fighting for.
But is it a tummy worth BUYING for?
Beat out by Splatoon again.
too old
It reminds me of Destruction All Stars, Bleeding Edge, Lawbreakers, Babylon's Fall and Forespoken. But, it has that kpop aesthetic so maybe it'll get some coomer bux?
I played the beta and it was ok but suffers from the same problem as any other team based game. hoping and praying you don't get shitters on your team.
Is it better than Splatoon?
pretty similar but I'd say splatoon is better because of customization and more weapons
Fair enough.
Is the game even F2P?
Anyway I can see this being a thing that Square-Enix pays streamers to play for like a week and then it'll be one month of resetera and reddit desperately trying to convince people it's better than Splatoon before its player count plummets and then it disappears from the news for half a year until Squeenix announces it's pulling support.
>Is the game even F2P?
Nope, will sell for AA-price (60ish bucks is the current speculation). Doubtful they'd ask 70 ameridollars for this.
>60
I wouldn't pay 20. Looks like hyper-slop.
>Destruction All Stars
Did that ever come out? I saw a bunch of moronic trailers and screenshots but I never actually heard about the game releasing.
It was a launch title for PS5, it had like 300 players lol. Wonder why companies think they can do well with these types of games, it's REALLY rare to get Rocket League or Overwatch levels of success and even those games are starting to die.
this game sucked so bad, I thought it was going to play out like a modern twisted metal..
>It was a launch title for PS5
It wasn't a launch title it came out in February 2021
That's fricking stupid of them. It might have carved a little niche for itself as a f2p game, no one's buying this thing for sixty clams.
>will sell for AA-price (60ish bucks is the current speculation)
That's fine as long as it will include 2 years of updates and won't rely on like 4 kinds of different in-game monetizahahaha sorry
replace foam with coom
>Sony exclusive
That's exactly the thing that's making Square Enix go ACK. lol
XVI sold 3 000 000 on just the PS5.
*shipped
And still only barely broke even at best so they had to put out a bunch of remarketing to beg investors not to abandon them, lol.
Anon, more power to Sony and all.
They need to expand to PC yesterday. And I don't mean giving a 30% cut to fat frick Gaben, I mean actually bringing their shop there. For frick sake dude.

its weird that its not on pc, even sony first party gaas are on pc day one
Ah, but this is SE, and they DESPERATELY want to get bought out by Sony one day.
It is like many people say gamepass will ruin gaming because devs will make mediocre games for the service, SE basically makes games to get the sony check and any actual sales are just a bonus.
That can probably be enough for this game because it's low-tier slop. But in the long run they're going to have to make something that's good if they want to maintain growth.
>join the ack
What? What's "ack"?
why does every single new game have this artstyle now?
Happy bright vibrant colors, big eyes and inclusiveness!. You're not living in a pathetic dystopia, you're happy, think happy thoughts, go to work, be happy, do your taxes, feel happy, don't ask questions.
At least the characters don't look like fricking hipsters.
I doubt it will do WELL WELL, but it's not hyenas, or saints row reboot or or or..
>At least the characters don't look like fricking hipsters.
How do you figure? The most recognizable character in the game looks like she streams on Twitch from her hot-tub.
Yep.
But it don't look like something you would see in this video:
That video is 13 years old Anon.
Yet they still exist and try to use their daddies money and influence to make hipsters cool, even it means sinking a game company or two
Instead they look like your bargain bin kpop-style Korean anime gatcha characters.
Look up Dislyte. You could swear both of these games have the same artist with how similar the art style and character designs are.
Has a chance at being the best selling PS5 game in Japan this year.
Pretty sure Like a Dragon will beat it.
I going to love to be a good foam sissy!

>pastel blue and pink everywhere
you tell me
Does it have cephs?
How has Nintendo not sued them for blatantly ripping off Splatoon?
Same reason no one has sued you for being an idiot.
is this game going to have some top tier goon queens?
I will play for she
Gross
DOUBLE BUBBLE DOUBLE BUBBLE BUBBLE POP POP!

That's a very good summary.
Don't forget the 3 hour long "Foamstars: A Misunderstood Masterpiece" video 6 months later that blames white male toxicity for it not selling well.
Good analysis, but you forgot the obnoxious fanboys who keep talking about how Foamstars was so much better than Splatoon because (insert mature and "complex" game mechanic Splatoon lacks).
these morons keep killing their games by making them console exclusive.
If one hadn't seen any gameplay whatsoever and saw these two were side by side in a store, I doubt anyone would ever pick up foamstars.
What an awful and bland cover.
>those colors
wait a second.....
Ack Lives Matter

If you're going to top something that already exists, the new thing needs to be better than the old thing. Making "Splatoon: But With Women and Minorities" is not better.
That's fricking moronic anyway because Splatoon is almost exclusively marketed by its female characters
No that's just among degenerates on the internet.
Untrue, every single Splatoon game features the female character front and center. All of the idol characters that are the "main" characters of the games are also female aside from the cartoon manta ray.
Won't even last a year before EOS.

This looks like that game with a squid girl and ink guns on switch.
