I don't see anything that would indicate such a thing. It looks good, but that's due to a very strong art direction (as usual for this series). There's nothing here that is outside the capabilities of Switch hardware. There's plenty of aliasing too. I haven't pixel counted, but it looks below 1080p.
I agree. Splattoon is not as notorious among older crowds as those games, but it's hardly obscure. It's not like you need to be a Nintendo fan to know the series at this point.
This forum is not a good representation of the gaming landscape.
Being halfway through a lifespan doesn't necessarily mean that's the length of the gap between hardware. Nintendo sometimes overlaps its handheld lines for a while during generational transitions. GBA was sold for a while after the DS for example. 3DS was sold until last summer along side the Switch.
Im aware of that. But for the gaming landscape...what part of it? the nintendo part? the sony part? PC gaming? chinese gaming? mobile gaming?
I did hear it was a lot better, which gives me more hope for 3's missions, but my position on 2 was I rented it, played some of Salmon Run, then sent it back. Not really a fan of how much Nintendo games end up costing for what I'd perceive as 'the full game' these days with expansion passes, like with Sword and Shield for instance, so I never actually dipped back and picked up the Octo stuff. Also the fact the multiplayer played worse than what I played on the WiiU was a huge turnoff.
I am kinda pissed this is octopath 3. I hoped for a spin off, since i like the core mechanics and WANT a standalone octo expansion, but have 0 intrest in the multiplayer...but that is the focus of these games. A simgle player splatoon game would be all i want, either action adventure or platforming focused.
I know. And i never said it looked like splatoon 2. I just said the trailer pacing/construction looked kinda booring.even the "generic splatoon" part of the trailer was highlighting new changes with every shot pretty much
main thing here is the new spawn mechanic, though you can also see some other changes like the new bow not just being a single player thing, eliter looks revamped, that blaster looks revamped, .96 gal looks revamped, also the first inkling on the left with the bow has a new facial animation that looks cool
new spawn mechanic in action, you get to pick where to jump to
quick shot of the bow in action, in the second shot you see it lit up which I'm sure indicates something, maybe it's a charge shot or something. also get a look at one of the new movement options which looks like a squid dodge.
and the second new movement option where you can swim up a wall and jump up into the air
new map obvs
I think this is a tease of the revamped inkzooka, the front nozzle looks the same when we see it later but nice tease from the back
then you get more looks at the new map starting with it uninked interspersed with looks at some of the revamped weapons and new gear. looks like an eliter, blaster, splattershot, and the .96 gal and the hydra which looks pretty identical to splat 2
then you get whatever this crab thing is
and finally the front look at the revamped inkzooka. that iconic green and orange. it's back baybeeeee!
literally every shot has new nuggets
This is the kind of trailer analysis I love to see. What does the green line mean though?Was looking through the thread and found this image
Which has the octoling standing at the edge of the back alley and unfortunately disproved my earlier map. You can't see the railway tracks here, but if we assume that the planes always go in the same direction that might help place it, since we see an airplane go overhead in a trailer shot.
I did notice now that you can actually see this same place in the piggy bank building, meaning that it's no actually a building, but just a statue overlooking the back alley! As such, this means the actual layout is something like this:
It's amazing.
Green line is the train line that goes over the city. It's been pretty useful in placing locations. Explained that in an earlier post, but forgot to include the explanation here.

the japanese engagement was pretty on point. the NA trailer was ahead, then Japan woke up
One interesting fact is the fact that normal spawnpoints still exist, but are taped shut, with the tarp even nailed to the ground:
Maybe they'll only be active on some modes? Or they're only used for landing when super jumping?
