shillworld might be the biggest viral marketing campaign of this decade so far
all this artificial drama and controversy over a game that looks like unity store assets lmao
>artificial drama and controversy
None of it's artificial. Pokeloyalists really are that fat and thin-skinned.
You don’t have to be a Pokémon to recognise a shit game when you see one.
Early access survival crafting slop? Really? That’s what we’re pretending to like now? What happened to all those years of endlessly shitting on the genre?
Now we suddenly like it because we like to pretend it poses a threat to le Nintendo boogeyman?
4 million sales incel, stay mad
the latest Pokémon games made 10 million in the same amount of time at full price
this isn’t the epic overnight take over you think it is
I don't know, selling 40% the amount of the latest release of the largest franchise on earth is pretty good for a game that didn't even exist last week
The trailer came out in 2021, Ganker had a good laugh for a week over edgy pokemon with guns. It existed but no one thought it would release, let alone be playable.
Still, $6.7 Mil to make the game and make something like $100 Mil in sales (and on gamepass too, damn) in 3 days is stupidly good for a self-published game. No publisher cut either and practically zero marketing budget other than vtubers.
I like the game so much it's almost like I make money myself from their sales. Not to sound insane but it's a serious GOTY contender
Pokemon Red/Blue sold 31 million copies and that was in the 90s when the gaming market was a fraction of the size it is today.
For all we know that could have been at least 50% of all gamers at the time.
4 million gamers in todays climate is fricking minuscule.
Cope.
Lmao go dilate nintroon
Never cared about Pokémon myself, just stating the facts.
It’s funny that you Black folk act like you’re above pokemon but s(o)yface over an early access bootleg lmao. The shit you people do for contrarianism points.
Go play one of the actual good monster collectors like Yokai Watch or Dragon Quest Monsters.
>I don't care, but I'm going to sit in here and seethe
I'm having fun with 2024 got incel, cry more.
are you blind?
go back
You know usually when people see a shit game they just ignore it and move on they don't lead a smear campaign against it.
>we're
>we
>we
Who the frick is "we" referring to?
lmao yes it is you fricking moron
See you in a month when nobody cares about it anymore.
Timeflop.
Call me back when Palworld has a 25 year old running anime, a trading card game market worth hundreds of millions of dollars in market value, dozens of sequels and number #1 spot as the highest grossing media franchise.
not gonna happen lol
>ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS LITERAL WHO INDIE GAME DIDNT IMMEDIATELY TOPPLE THE BIGGEST MEDIA FRANCHISE OF ALL TIME
>FLOP SPOP FLOP FOTM FLOP FLOP SLOP FOTM
Then stop claiming that it did you moron lmfao.
Not that hard.
this is some of the most deranged criticism/demands of a new release I've ever seen. What are you even trying to say with this? It sucks because it's popular now and it'll be less popular later? It sucks cuz it's not gonna get a 6 season Netflix anime? It's not gonna get a theatrical release movie trilogy so it isn't worth playing?
What the actual frick is wrong with you
>this game is going to topple Pokémon
>”no it won’t”
>yes it will
>”it won’t be here’s proof”
>yeah w-well… WHO CARES. JUST BECAUSE IT’S NOT OVERTAKING POKEMON DOESN’T MEAN ITS TRASH
lol
Are the pokeloyalists in the room with us now?
Obviously not, I wouldn't let one near me in real life, but they are in the thread blundering around in their official clown uniforms.
Show me 10
You got me, I only see two
is it not common knowledge that pokemon fans are moronic?
>make some early access dog shit with similarities to pokemon
>shill it endlessly
>”this looks like trash”
>POKÉMON FANBOY!!!
>rinse and repeat
+0.1 has been added to your social credit
They have a social credit score system in Japan?
It its, the CEO blog in Japanese spells it out for a fact that the game would not be made if not for some neckbeard they hired, that refused to use github (used SVN), who offered to port all their unity models to UE4, including some store assets they bought.
The game outright plagiarized whole designs and gameplay features of not just pokemon but other survival games an open-world sandboxes. They did not however steal models, meshes nor generated any of their designs with AI. Everything was made by 30-40 some people, some from dirt cheap regions of Asia. The fact that it was done (for relatively cheap by VC standards: ¥1Billon or $6.7 Million USD) by literal no ones with no publishers is why everyone in the industry is seething, especially smaller indie studios.
Best part about it is that they will more or less take the bag and run. It's and EA game after all, why patch shit when you've already gotten all the money. And with how short the memory of their target audience is they'll buy into the next EA game that comes along in a couple of years.
That or they'll try to double dip with nfts.
It is a little insane. Two of my 35yo D&D buddies were talking about it yesterday. They don't play video games.
It's fricking over
Arguing about models and topology and shit is so pointless when the game has much more obvious cases of stolen ideas
holy based ER reference in 2024 GOTY Palworld
You mean Mabinogi?
Is there a single original idea or asset in this slop?
Lmao
>v.0.1.2.0
the real icing on the cake
Roflmao
Wait a second, do Soultrannies really believe ER invented world trees?
>Elden Ring invented ruined churches with an idol
>Elden Ring invented big trees
When was the last truly innovative vg you've played?
I cant think of a single pokeclone that let you use not!pokeballs to catch humans and recruit them sort-of MGSV style so that maybe?
>FromSoftware invented circles
Post a single glowing circle from another game.
Alright I submit, FromSoftware actually did invent circles. Miyazaki is a genius.
>ideas
you can't copyright game mechanics or vague ideas like circles, so who cares if they're stolen, you're going to see all the '''AAA''' game companies copying Elden Ring's mechanics and aesthetics soon too.
No one cares that Palworld isn't original. The entire point it was made was because Nintendo is shit at giving fans of their IP new experiences that they actually want or catering to anyone outside of a Nintendo console. No one's playing Palworld because it's a beacon of originality, they're playing it because it's filling the niche of "survival crafting game, but you have pokemon as the primary 'technology', also it's on PC" that Nintendo COULD have done fricking ages ago, but instead decided to focus on just keeping to the exact same formula and becoming increasingly incompetent at it.
So long as they've done enough to avoid being sued, which they apparently have because Nintendo never would have even let them get past posting trailers if they hadn't, then you're not going to convince anyone who actually plays the game that it's actually bad because it's unoriginal. It's unoriginal because it's taking the money and players Nintendo was stupidly leaving on the table.
Nintendo doesn't equal Gamefreak
Also Palworld is hardly comparable to Pokémon except for the creature collecting.
One is a JRPG and the other a survival crafting game.
Agreed.
And they did check their legal rights in japan before releasing anything (https://automaton-media.com/en/news/20240119-25859/). The CEO being an Ex-Sanrio employee might have something to do with it.
>because Nintendo is shit at giving fans of their IP new experiences that they actually want or catering to anyone outside of a Nintendo console.
this board has been shitting itself for years supposedly because botw is "ubislop" that ruined zelda as a unique franchise and then turn around and gets wet over a fricking soulless mashup of every gaming trend of this past decade with a vague pokemon skin slapped on top
Ganker truly has turned into a complete parody of itself
I don't play from software games can someone explain to a moron like me?
Just one of many
Really the whole geology of the world and the color palette of some areas is straight up just Elden Ring
>literally the exact same layout except no depth
This is really blatant.
It's an Evergaol entrance from elden ring
Reminder that this game has fricking Borderlands splash screens. Seriously, what aren't they willing to "be inspired by"?
DELETE THIS
>being too young to remember the Genshin reaction
>2020 was 12 years ago
I want Palworld with Gensin shading + waifus
As a genshingay I extend a hand of friendship to palfriends and welcome them to the "making tendies seethe" genre
Genshin's models are kind of ass at this point, yeah the visual effects are pretty but it has fallen behind in quality.
Compared to what?
GF2
Nah, I don't like the art direction for a realistic look.
why the frick can't I save this properly, it wants to save it as an HTML file
Palworld has waifus but I assume the full story isn't in the game yet which means they aren't in yet either.
Who's the artist of that pic?
@FBI
REMEMBER, THE HONEYPOT CANNOT BE ERASED.
They would get hit hardest if it could be proved that they downloaded Pokémon models, even if just as a reference. Japan has super intense laws on piracy.
>devs stealing ideas from other devs
wait until video game enjoyers find out about the music industry .......................
Wrong board
if making an analogy to music, this game isnt just borrowing melodies or rhythms. its just a remix. its a DJ who barely even does anything to mix between 2-4 other tracks. a remix is the worst excuse for music that has ever existed
>if making an analogy to music
Ironic. I heard music is nearly non-existent in the game.
Except in this case it's like taking audio of someone taking a shit and remixing it into listenable music.
Remixes are often better than the originals so I don't see the problem, maybe try a food analogy.
sometimes. sometimes they basically remake the entire song changing every aspect about it only barely following the same melody
other times its nothing but a Black person crossfading between a couple songs
and thats what palworld is
its a Black person crossfading between pokemon and ark survival evolved
shakespeare's titus ripped off many elements of the rape of philomela as told in ovid
now shakespeare is relegated to remix dj
>our culture is so shit that we hold the most casual media of past centuries in highest regard
yeah and?
in 300 years when we're all ooga booga brown mutt brazilian Black folk they'll think nicki minaj and the Black person mermaid are some of the greatest works of all time, and they wont even remember or comprehend what shakespeare is
>He thinks someone manually ripped and altered Pokemon models
They fed an ai a bunch of pics of the real pokemon and said make a fake version then picked the best one. Did you really think the soulless looking mons in the game where made by people?
Seeing as most of them were already shown of in January 2021 11 months talking about AI & hiring the AI guy, yes. Literally was marketed as parody & everyone memed until it came out. It's just a big shitpost that nintennerds are reacting to because "my precious Nintendo."
Heres whatwill happen:
>Nintendo will sue
>nintendo will win
>palflop will be deleted from steam
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's pretty obvious that certain aspects for the monsters were ripped directly from Pokemon and Nintendo could definitely sue them over it. They probably knew this and figured they could easily change stuff after getting tons of attention through controversy.
I'm just happy because, this game existing will probably convince nintendo to actually give a shit with pokemon, just like souls games did for zelda & breath of the wild
>the topology is different
literally "copy my homework but change a few things"
>copy my homework but change a few things"
The pokemon way
A classic
90% of these are a complete stretch.
Compared to palflop completely copying the 3d models themselves.
>90% of these are a complete stretch.
The irony, lmao
The top b***h is literally that guy but with ralts body.
>nintendo invented deities from japanese folklore
>nintendo invented the concept of queen bees
Do tendies REALLY?
>djinn
>nip folk lore
The state
OH MY SCIENCE ZELDA STOLE FROM POKEMON!
Thundurus and Dazzi are both based on Raijin
nobody cares about your culture, Abdul
I think these ones are actual original designs actually.
>flop
>literally made multiple times the game's budget in profit within the first 8 hours of release
They'll lose all the money after nintendo sues.
Literally what
said, a bunch of the ones people are trying to point to are also big stretches. Nintendo doesn't own themes like bees & cloud spirits. They didn't invent them either.
Not even close to the same
A 1:1 copy
@fbi arrest these frauds
>literally every single thing in the game is copy/pasted from something else
And?
Why do I care as the consumer? Is the game fun? Can I make and play as a cute girl that gets my tiny pp hard?
>Is the game fun?
no
> Can I make and play as a cute girl that gets my tiny pp hard?
maybe if you're a brain broken weeb who has an easier time imagining having sex with cartoons than an actual female
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>Majora the halo general autist
Huh
where were you the day pokemon died because of technological incompetence, laziness, and being stuck on dated hardware?
>make blatant asset flip
>earn millions
why aren't you making your own game?
Waiting to see if palbros get sued or not. If not I'm ripping pokemons and adjusting topology for my spin.
>Am 3D modeller
>Read this shit
>Literally nothing makes sense
What the frick is this level of cope.
Black person, the polygons are different because they made it from scratch. Proportions do not dictate topology.
>automatic retopology tools
my fricking sides, dude has no idea what he's talking about.
pokemon fans are really missing the point
if recent pokemon entries were actually fun, everyone would be playing those instead of making posts on twitter about some other game
the problem is the fun factor (or rather lack thereof in pokemon itself), not the designs
It's Genshin seethe all over again...
All gachas are automatically trash
True, but that's not the point.
Tell me why I should be concerned about this. How does it affect me?
>The Pokémon Company has WEB3 Job Listing
Nobody Panics
>Palworld Dev did AI & NFTs
Everyone loses their minds.
Maybe they'll fix their terrible Pokémon Home shit with that. Store your Pokémon on the blockchain.
>Company I worship does literally anything
>Le good
>Other company does literally anything
>Le bad
