Looks great. Fine with delay as this year is very crowded. Though next spring is too.

 

[iconmaster]

Unfortunate that it's almost a year away, but it looks lovely.

 

[Windle Poons]

This is going to be such a time sink.

Will Mr Resetti be in it I wonder?

 

[zeorhymer]

Tom Nook still manages to shove a mortgage on you on a deserted island.

B-b-but he scares the children!

Think of the children!

The amount he charges for the phone he must have moonlighted at Apple...

Does crafting have to be in everything?

 

[sublimit]

Never played this series but this looks adorable and very relaxing. I might finally give this series a chance when i get a Switch.

My thoughts exactly! A game much needed in our current day and age

I would maybe be annoyed by it if it didn’t fit Animal Crossing. But it feels like a good addition. Animal Crossing has always been a game about collecting. Adding crafting feels like a natural next step in the gameplay. I’m excited.

Animal Crossing has been just fine without crafting.

 

[Mista]

FINALLY! Been waiting a long ass time for AC game

 

[Torrent of Pork]

I've said for a while among my friends that if AC took inspiration from Stardew/Portia I could finally get into it.

Right. But it's formula is starting to get repetitive. I welcome it.

 

[Zog]

Crafting is also repetitive.

 

[Sqorin Hammerfarf]

Finally watching the Treehouse show, and 4 player single system play is a game changer.

 

[Sp3eD]

The Minecraft style axe crafting is really scaring me. This isn’t what I play AC to do.

Just make a pretty version of new leaf with some extras. You missed the Minecraft boat half a decade ago Nintendo.

 

[Manus]

Ya'll crazy. I gladly welcome some crafting to AC, it's been needing it. One big reason why I vastly prefer Stardew Valley to it.

 

[struggler_guts]

Yeah this is the obvious next step

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

Can't wait to get ripped off again by Tom Nook.

Next year is crazy. Animal crossing, watch dogs, and cyberpunk within a month of each other!!

 

[Vader1]

Really looking forward to this. Animal Crossing GC is a classic game imo, this looks to be similar.

The road-plotting makes me think you're going to have a remarkable amount of control over the town as it develops. Perhaps even laying out plots for neighbor's houses? Town amenities? Is this Animal Crossing SimCity??

 

[Zannegan]

"So far only seen in spinoffs" i.e. the last two games. Ah, but if you frame it as "spinoffs only" the narrative becomes much more interesting.

Amazing how you can position the same facts to say subtly different things. It's just too bad that the preferred interpretation for some outlets always seems to be the slightly more controversial one.

Animal Crossing in many ways is a sim. While it wouldn't be popular with a lot of people, I've been wanting Animal Crossing to be more open world with the need to leave your town and explore a larger world map for resources, bugs, animals, fossils, etc. I think it'd be kind of cool to be able to have multiple towns on a large map. Maybe have a little bit of danger in the open world as well. Though, I know Nintendo is probably never going to take Animal Crossing in the direction, I think it would be cool personally.

Big no to danger in Animal Crossing.

Animal Crossing is so comfy that even Lego games seem like a Souls game in comparison. If you look up the word "relaxing" in the dictionary there is a picture of someone playing Animal Crossing. One time a guy was walking down an alley with his parents after a show, and a thug shot both of his parents. When commissioner Gordon arrived, he gave the kid his DS with New Leaf to play. Within seconds the kid was smiling. That kid's name? Luke Skywalker. If it wasn't for Animal Crossing he would have grown up to be Darth Vader, ruler of the iron throne and mother of dragons.

Throw danger into animal crossing and it's not animal crossing, it's something else.

 

[ZeroGravity]

This will be my first Animal Crossing game and I'm excited to finally give the series a try.

 

[Joelenheimer]

Only 282 more days!

 

[WaterAstro]

Finally.

Wait, does it have online?

 

[Gormless Noodle]

Finally.

Wait, does it have online?

Yeah, from what I understood you can go online with 8 people in total at the same time. Just in case you wanna pick apples together or organise a Black Wing Lair raid.

Ha well i mean danger similar to the kind that is already in the game, mostly. You shake a tree and an angry bee chases you. Stuff like that. If you get stung by a bee or say attacked by a cute bear, you wake up back at your home lol.

Finally its back on console But its still a long wait.

What is Animal Crossing even about? Like what kind of game is it? I literally have done zero research.

In this economy?!

It's like a mix of Harvest Moon and the sims kind of game

Imagine for a second that you play Harvest Moon talk to everyone in city once, manage your crops for a day and then you need to wait for real world next day because game does not allow you to sleep or skip to next day.
So after about 10-15 minutes you run out of worthwhile things to do and that is it.


Always liked concept of it but not allowing people to play game is pure wankery that brings nothing to game.
IMHO it is deliberate thing to sparse out content which every Animal Crossing lacks.

Essentially it is Tamaguchi but with small city instead of some animal.

Which is why i will be playing it on Emuator instead of real hardware. On Emulator you can easily use cheat that will allow you to skip days without issue and actually play damn game.

For Animal Crossing: New Leaf, I was a part of a Skype-based NeoGAF community. Does one still exist as I'll happily join to make new friends and reconnect with the OGs?

[DarkestHour]

I hope those framerate issues and hitching are just a bad video.

 

[Dontero]

On every video they should add:

" you can only play it for 15 minutes a day only "

 

[Panajev2001a]

I am a bit underwhelmed by this iteration of the game.

It feels like the series is having a console spinoff more than a new main line entry. They are adding some new features and a fresh coat of paint, but I expected something to be a much bigger and deeper evolution of Animal Crossing on GCN and 3DS... now we have one focused on camping and another on camping but in a remote island... feels like missing on houses, decoration and furniture, museums, etc... then again you see some of that in the trailer and I think “on a remote island?”... :/...

 

[SidViscous]

Hope they back down and give it cloud save support. I pour so much time into these sort of games and I really don't give a shit if people save scum for extra bells.

I think Nintendo are teasing us a bit here, and I have seen houses on both the reveal and yesterday's direct, I think at the beginning of the game everything will be tents, then as the game goes on we will get houses/buildings, and even Islands could have houses/buildings, they may go with more wooden type structures.

The first reveal of the game made it look like an expansion. I expected a bigger and deeper AC, but it felt a bit closer to the mobile game instead. Glad to be proven wrong.
