@garfreek This makes me happy that this didn't immediately dissolve into arguing.

Also none of the textures swim in the original trailer, and that is super common with AI video. I see in recent uploads of Sora videos that the FOV is swimming, while the FOV in this trailer does not swim, but it is reaaaallly weird.

I think looking closely at the eyes of the cats can tell me if it's AI generated. It looks like a cubemap reflected in the eyes that's the same for all cats, except the one with explicit anime eyes. They even have the fact that cat eyes are reflective in pictures here, when the spotted cat stares directly at the camera. The fur is definitely expensive, but not impossible. Maybe it's some fancy GPU instancing?

I think this game is a victim of it's artstyle. IE the saturation, the blobby shapes that are reminiscent of 50-60s archetechture. The solid colors, and the lighting. Those all read as AI to me on first glance. The fact that they got the fact that cats staring directly at cameras have glowing eyes, tells me that this is not ai generated, because in what world is that the generic solution for programming graphics? (AI always puts out the most likely, or rather the most generic solution, it is autocorrect on steroids. Image ai tends to hallucinate individual pixels, and I don't see any of that noise in the footage on the site.)

I hear that people made up a six fingered hand to be angry about, and that could be true, and if so I take everything but the cat eyes back. That is attention to detail.

@HotGoomba This is my opinion.

I don't like how much hate this is getting. It feels like pessimism has infected every corner of the internet. I wish people would try to be kind to eachother, even if someone does something bad or wrong... I'm sad. I want everyone to try harder to be good to eachother, not to just be good for the sake of justice.

People are trying to be good yes, by calling this out and protecting artists. That's justice.

I think that being good to other people can be more than just enforcing justice. It's kindness and giving people strength to push forward.

I wonder if the people at the company are either sad, or if they simply don't feel the hate writhing under the surface because of selfishnes. Companies are made of people, and people cannot completely defend themselves from emotional harm. From personal experience, I become selfish when I need to close my emotions off. I stop caring. I say hurtful and harmful things. I take advantage to try to get anything to soothe my emotions. And when I'm lucky enough to have the guts to try and fix things when I can open up again.

I wonder if the culture of not caring is due to people attacking eachother without caring about eachother's thoughts and feelings, or needs.

I refuse to stop caring. Unless someone cares a whole awful lot, it's not gonna get better, it's not -DR. Seuss. I'll add to that that people need to care carefully, not just swing around their ability to care like a hammer.

fzero 99 was my best discovery of the year, I love this lil hidden gem

@HeadPirate My respect for you has shot up dramatically.

I don't believe in intolerance cannot be tolerated... because that's just fighting hate with hate. Only love can fight hate and leave the world a better place.

I hope the Metroid Prime series accomodates for sequence breaking Beyond the dev intended path. The 3d series has restricted that since the beginning.

@HotGoomba a hot goomba like you should have six seperate families by now. Spicy /j

@NintendoLife this comments section is devolving into indirect personal attacks. Do what you see fit.

I ordered it for ps4. I want the best available to me.

@Samalik You're really passionate about this. Seriously, 1/6th of the comments section is you. The original is still available in a bundle. If you don't have that to play the original on then whatever. I want to have a comments section that isn't filled with pointless complaining so yeah... you can guess what's gonna happen.

I genuinely hope nintendo bought the emulator for future use.

@FirstEmperor Let me guess deleted messages to make you look like you're replying to the same message over and over again.

@ThatGuyWho It's not about forgetting or forgiving. It's about thinking rationally, I can edit out the part about forgiveness from the previous message and my arguement will still stand. I'm glad I can think rationally, in that case. I know my mom suffered because she'd irrationally explode at a single slight against her... She shut everyone who loved her in her life out because of it, not just her abusers, but everyone. She only takes gifts of food in the mail because food can't be returned.

I said that part was fair to say is bad. But I don't need to worry about it or be angry about it, just desserts will be served, and thus this scenario is unlikely to continue.

I often wonder if abstaining because you remember a punishment is any different from abstaining because you are who you are. Does it matter? Are the reasons wrong but the actions right? (I'm talking about the scenario in which nintendo's lawsuit is thrown out, and nintendo has the opportunity to try this again.)

I think we all remember a moment like that in life. Where we did the right thing for the wrong reasons. We need to press on anyway despite that question.

@ThatGuyWho I can't live with irrational anger. It just makes me bitter at everything and disatisfied with life. Now and the future matter more than what mattered in the past. What the past is for is judging the potential for harm in the future, It's not something to be fixated on forever. If I miss the mark in judging who they are now I would be missing the point of using the past to learn, and I'm more likely to do that if my judgement is clouded by "Righteous" anger.

Right now I do think Nintendo is reaching too far with their Palworld lawsuit... specifically patenting game mechanics. That's fair. I believe it may get thrown out in court for patent abuse. In that case Nintendo will get their just desserts, and I don't even need to lift a finger or be angry about it.

By Patent abuse I mean that they patented this mechanic after other games have used it, and they patented a game mechanic.

As an aside, here are the negatives of Anger. Anger clouds rational thinking, Anger is violent, Anger is the emotion I see most often in propoganda. The internet in general needs better anger management skills.

@ThatGuyWho get real. It's really easy to claim that any demographic of people is depraved. I've done research on Nintendo. I know they have an internal corruption hotline. I know they try to be reserved with takedowns nowadays. I know that they've added fan requests like the Roost. They put great care into their reasoning for patching Splatoon. I think the fans hate the company more than the company hates the fans. Am I to take you at your word that a company hates its fans when it shows sincere care for quality, for keeping itself from becoming corrupt, and listens to popular fan requests once in a blue moon...? No. I'm more likely to think you have an agenda against that company, and that you're being insincere, uncaring for facts and opinions of others. Especially when you dismiss them as depraved or insane.

I want that wii remote body pillow. I need to throw it at my tv.

@Bigmanfan I can see clear enough to see how Human nature would do that with AI. no objections here, you're sound and rational.

@SteveDaSteve Trust me, you're never going to convince people of this. I have trouble wrapping my head around plagarism, and barely get why it's awful... I still get it to an extent. AI confuses me even more. If you want to be right, wait a few years for the dust to settle. If it's truly harmless people will change their tune to be supportive... like they do for videogames that have some flaws.
I'm trusting the internet on this one, because again, I already have trouble wrapping my head around plagarism, and this has so many more layers of abstraction.
As for now, the comments section isn't for arguing.

@DripDropCop146 I was posting it as counter to the negativity

@Quiet2down The human nature that we all share ultimately bubbles to the top in any group. The cruel selfish, unfeeling darkness in our hearts. I'd rather dare to dream then stagnate along with that darkness.

@VoidofLight I'm now imagining evil houses with chainsaws out to destroy the other houses around them, that are pressured by an abusive system and other houses to become evil houses. I think this is an apt descption of coorporations. I'll leave it at that.

@VoidofLight I have heavily edited that comment, Coorporations are equivalents of houses, of course a house isn't going to feel empathy, it's a building. The people who live or work there are perfectly capable, and should be judged as people. I know you aren't saying that the people inside are automatically all bad, because that's ridiculous.

"Companies aren't your friend." Streamers aren't your friend either, neither are content creators, but they still can be good people with flaws. Companies are masses of people, who may or may not deserve congratulations for their hard work. People with hopes and dreams, flaws and crimes, all together trying to make something special.

People tell you the company isn't your friend is the same way a parent might tell you nobody on the internet is your friend, and neither are the majority of people you meet on the street, that doesn't stop them from being important or good people. There are friends on the internet, but I can agree that saying something equivalent of a house for people is your friend is insane. We live in a world of 8 billion.... let's just get along."

Happy anniversary to all the people inside Nintendo!

@Thomystic Smart Waddle Dee knows things, I must capture it so that I may never look dumb in the comments section again! MWAHAHAHAAH-
In all seriousness I thought they were native because of how Austrailia literally waged war on them twice. (also I apologise for saying it instead of them, villain persona and all that for the joke)

I want an Emu Game. An emu game with a hot topic, and skateboards. Set in austrailia

Patents mean methods, not the end result like copyright is meant to protect. Patents I think also use include trade secrets or encryption, my opinion is that though palworld is questionable, they exploited the law just enough to avoid copyright, but if somebody on the team copied trade secrets or encryption keys... first why tf would you copy that if you can code, second they deserve it 100 % if so instead of 80%... If it's code or mechanics... Good luck getting that to stick, code is copyright, and mechanics don't fall under copyright , trademarks, or patents as far as I know

From Wikipedia:
A patent is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the legal right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention for a limited period of time in exchange for publishing an enabling disclosure of the invention.[1] In most countries, patent rights fall under private law and the patent holder must sue someone infringing the patent in order to enforce their rights

I can agree with headpirate here.

I also am totally tubular, Shell out for me my peeps.

@LikelySatan I don't see it often enough for that kind of beatdown either. What is wilton on about?

Here we stand, in an endless, past, present, future span.
Our wishes are the flames that light up history.
We've come far, you and I, on our journey.
Sights and sounds, highs and lows, all that we've seen.
Nothing at the start, at the void of night.
But then out there, in the dark, a path came to light.
Did you think back then we'd be here? Guiding others in our shoes?
Tiny, tiny seeds, left on the trail, someday to bloom.
Star at night, glowing bright, bringing us your light-
A message to us from far in the past, saying, "Shine on!"
Words you write, line by line, showing us your sights-
Passed down to us so we sing them today, we feel you still.
Team past. History.

I think having it as an addition to regular gameplay is best. Otherwise it becomes an animal crossing clone.

I desperately want to sing in the comments section for this game

@Nintoz unspeakable acts at a reasonable price

I like how the creatures are designed, the wolf in the thumbnail and the llama in particular... I think the human cast is colorful.... but I haven't seen enough world interaction to determine whether this is will be good.

If the humans can't interact with the world like ingame... I'm out.

Also the creatures would look way better if their models were allowed to clip. I know that's considered bad, but the continous softbody skin brings the excellent texture work down a peg, plus that's how it works ingame.

@FantasiaWHT The orange text usually tells you which option to pick, or gives you a lead, turn highlighting on if it's off. It's a better system than the first 2 games but not perfect.

@Olliemar28 pay attention to the highlighted orange text, it's a guide on what to do next.

I smell a certain kind of artist on the concept art team.

if my money allows, believe in the heart of the bills!

Tiana is my favorite, design wise, I really love yellow, even froggy yellow. The contrast between her skin and the dress, draws my eyes to her face, even though the dress is brighter. I see what they were going for with the purple dress on the white chick, yellow and purple contrast, but they don't look nearly as smashing as Tiana.

I am obsessed with this villain. The name makes me smile just thinking it. E M I O The Smiling Man.

@LikelySatan I think they mean scraping the internet for feedback.

pearl's outfit is more reminiscent of a gay scene outfit. pearlina?

why is nobody excited for emio? the music in the girl who stands behind was awesome.

why does this article have the sega skin? the blue is usually reserved for sega games.

I think the Past informs the present and the future... I love history, so the Past it is!

@Samalik there are 16 set personalities and a catchphrase, villagers pull from this pool of dialogue.

@sanderev Since the Dev is rebranding I view this as a good push forward that the dev needed to move on. But it's still sad that it won't be available for a few months.

Good words work better with proper dandori. I think from software has three options, make smaller indie like games so that they have the budget to fail, with the potential to profit... This is the warchest approach where less spending is good. The second is to make a big AAA game and hope it sells well. This is what most AAA publishers are doing... and I don't think it works very well.

What nintendo does is make games that they think will succeed alongside games they want to make, so that they can be pleasantly surprised and well as sustained. I think I'd reccoment this approach, as sustainability comes before making what you want, even if making what you want is the end goal. Funny how surprise and delight works in their business model.
