HandsomeDead Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 This got me thinking about the announcements of previous Splatoon games and why this didn't quite work. Because I do think the original is one of the best announcements at an E3. It came out of nowhere, was pretty substantial and it came out just over 6 months later. Similarly with Splatoon 2, minus the initial ”wtf is this?” feeling. I little teaser with with a release probably over a year away doesn't really work here. But I'm onboard for more Splatoon all that aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 great news! but yeah, probably announced too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I usually like console variants but the Switch ones do nothing for me. The controllers look nice, I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandsomeDead Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Honestly it looks like just a mild update to Spatoon 2. No big additions to it like Salmon Run was to S2. But the tweaks and little additions to the weapons and skills look neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 this has really killed my interest in it. What a shame, I loved Splatoon, but this is beyond diminishing returns Not helped that the way the Direct's are done now are so unrelentingly shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I liked Splatoon 1 and didn’t like Splatoon 2 and I think I realised the difference was because Splatoon 1 was on the Wii U which was solely played by Nintendo idiots who’s only shooter experience is Metroid Prime which is a game that aims for you so even in a game about shooting the fucking floor they were terrible and I would terrorise these fuckers until they curled over and were crying in their blankie Then Splatoon 2 came out on Switch which was more popular and the competition opened up to everyone and now I was the idiot crying in their blankie and I didn’t like it 😭 I have not watched the Splatoon 3 demo but this is where I’m at in case you were wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I think I'm okay with this game just being purely iterative even though I ringed out Splatoon 2 pretty thoroughly and got really high ranked and took part in most of the Splatfests and had a bunch of good equipment and builds but it was a while ago now and I'm happy to do that again in a fresher package. Can't say I'd feel the same about a Splatoon 4. Something dramatic would have to happen there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Tufnell Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 My kids are looking forward to this, they still play the first 2 games, so probably be nagging for 2 copies of this, is the game packed in with the Splatoon oled Switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikman Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 What did everyone think? Positive from me! It was clearly very similar, although small tweaks seemed to speed things along. At least, it all felt somehow snappier. I hope this carries through to the main game; while waiting for a match to start, you can still access the test room and (I think) the shops too, much better. I loved the new levels (although they would have worked just as well in Splatoon 2). Regardless, if this is where everyone moves, I'll be there too 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 It is crazy just how much better it is to be able to muck around while it finds a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikman Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Funny huh? It's a game changer, but the actual game is basically the same 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
