I am sort of worried about how Nintendo will handle the on-line aspects of Splatoon. I assume they are going to go for an "everyone can play" type of atmosphere which could mean things like voice chat, dropping into games with your friends etc will be harder to do. Basically the same stuff that has been holding back all of their online services. Have they actually talked about any of that yet?

Matchmaking will probably work a lot like Mario Kart, but I don't know how that is because I haven't played Mario Kart. In-game chat with randoms is unlikely, because the graphic design of the game really minimizes the need for coordination and everybody hates having to talk to kids when playing shooters.

I don't think that's exclusive to Splatoon.

We're going to wind up with a game that says "First game to ever break one million game of the year awards".

If I remember, at the end of the year I'm going to have to make an award thread where we all just give awards to games from 2014. Whoever gets theirs counted in some "Game of the Year" edition promo material wins!

You can sort of chat in the lobbies before the race. By sort of I mean you can choose from a handful of pre-determined messages like "good game" and "I'll get you next time!"

But yeah, this game will probably have something similar.

Unfortunately no option for "You think you're hot poo poo, MarioFan43? YOU THINK YOU'RE ALL THAT BECAUSE YOU GOT TRIP RED SHELLS IN SECOND PLACE?"

I hope we can eventually find a happy medium between Nintendo's decision to treat everyone on the internet like a precious baby and everyone else's plan of letting people be their stupid, racist selves.

Just perma-ban anyone who spews any racist or homophobic or sexist poo poo in any form of public chat. It's not that hard.

I find Splatoon appealing because it is a shooter I can see myself actually playing with my niece and nephew without feelign awkward about killing people with the blood and guts everywhere.

It also looks like it is really easy to pick up and play, but still very challenging to win at with the constant push back and forth, making it much less likely that one team will overwhelm the opposition to the point where there is no hope for recovery like with most shooters.

That and it takes me back to paint-gun mode in Golden Eye and Perfect Dark and basically goes all the way with it and if you don't think that is great, you have no soul as far as I am concerned.

Pfff gently caress that I'm going to dominate in this game and crush peoples' spirits

The only thing that brings me joy is the sound of crying children; Splatoon will be a vector for my happiness

Splatoon looks okay. Don't think I'll get it but it's nice to see Nintendo doing a game in a genre they don't normally do, and it sounds like they have some unique ideas going on with it. Personally I'm more excited for Hyrule Warriors. Not as many unique ideas there but I love me some Dynasty Warriors.

While this is how I feel on a personal level, I am just so damned happy someone did something unique with the FPS genre to drag it out of the gritty realistic murder simulation scene it has been stuck in since well, the beginning.

Kojima needs it to show his new trailer as Metal Gear Solid V keeps not having a release date and staying in a limbo of pretty cutscenes and behind-closed-doors demos. Also EA will show some more conceptual prototypes, so please be excited!

What I like best about Sunset Overdrive is Microsoft thinking "hey, maybe we should have a cheerful, colourful game to break up the monotony of all those samey, brown and gritty military, post-apocalyptic and zombie shooter games!" and then deciding to make a cheerful, colourful, post-apocalyptic zombie shooter game :downs:
