Topic: Splatoon - OT

I wouldn't mind a light campaign mode that slowly works the player through all of the different stuff they can do in the game. The meat of the game, as with almost any competitive shooter, however, will be the online multiplayer.

So may I ask why that squid girl with the glasses is like the most popular thing ever now?

Because she's cute and on the internet just like kittens

I'm definitely excited for this game, and I can't wait to find out more about the local multiplayer and single player mode. I don't do online much, but I'm sure I will play this one some. But most of my gaming time is offline. It's nice to see a different take on this genre, as I will feel much better about letting my young son play this in comparison to CoD and Battlefield. He's going to enjoy this one.

Personally, I'd rather they ditch the singleplayer altogether and focus on the multiplayer aspects.

I wouldn't mind a simple single-player mode like Event Mode in Smash, where you just play against AI enemies in short games with specific objectives. No need for a story campaign or anything.

I honestly can't wait for this game. I think I account for 50% of the views on the trailer

So apparently the new blood at Nintendo created this new IP? Yeahhhh... they should be working on creating even more ideas then cuz Splatoon has gathered a presence for itself even before releasing.

This game will be additive. I can't wait to play it

My main worry is that they won't have 4 player local co-op FOR online. Which would be a shame, as 4 people IRL against teams online would be awesome.

I'm wondering if this game is going to have online chat, i hope it does not cause i don't want too hear curse words while i'm playing the game Cause i know some people who are going too play this game and just curse anyone for no reason.. But if they did add online chat, i hope you can chat with your team mates.

Heh, the mute chat button should be here for a reason.

I wish Nintendo would release the E3 demo on the eShop with unlimited use

PLEASE NINTENDO IF YOU'RE LISTENING

There has been speak off but no definitive anwser so far

I got to play the demo at gamescom and I must say, this game is AWESOME! It's both tactical with and hectic at the same time. The curve of the ink-bullets is gonna take some getting used to though, as it was really hard to hit someone from a distance.

"i will splatoon on yer mum" says the 7 y/o rage quiter/hax0r

If Nintendo doesn't have voice chat then I've seriously lost all hope of them ever being relevant in the online world. Quite simply, they'd be idiots to exclude it in THIS game of ALL games. Not much teamwork is gonna happen if you can't talk to you're freaking team mates

Ninty really can't win, I just spotted this article on IGN saying how Splatoon should be a platform game...

That seems a legitimate worry, as it seems offline multiplayer is limited to just two people.
It's a shame, as that would be awesome.

I can kind of see where he's going with it, and we do need a new 3D collectathon platformer (that genre is practically dead now), but making Splatoon into one would be a waste, we need good Nintendo IPs that aren't platformers more than anything.
