de Blob and its sequel were puzzle platformers, not PVP shooters.
There’s been a bunch of games like these.
Fans?
It should, Splatoon is huge in Japan.
And this is not Splatoon. To elaborate, go out and directly compete with that game would be a complete waste on Square Enix's part, so I don't know why you would take the game as "DOOOOOOOOOMED" for granted just because it focuses on a platform with no established, juggernaut alternative.
Toylogic is developing it I think. So you get some former staffs of Cavia (Drag-On-Dragoon/Drakengard, Nier).What a waste of resources..
Another game from the Forspoken Team?
Its batlantly a Splatoon clone. Not being on THE platform that the game that inspired it, on the country that PS has about 10% of the total marketshare, is stupid to say the least,. Regardless of the platform, when you have a game that it is that similar to the game that birthed it, and that there isnt really anything similar, you cant simply skip the platform it is popular. Especially on a country which is represented of 50% of Splatoon's total sales.
And that's why if you have a game that appeals to the Japanese, you go and build an audience for that platform. There must be plenty of reasons why it's not on Switch anyway, but focusing on a console with no alternative is probably for the best.
Not at all lol. You are making a game for a platform that has 10% of the marketshare(Because lets face it, most of the audience of this game will be in Japan), so since the vast majority of people that like this game is on Switch, you will need to convince them to buy a 500 dollar console, on top of the game.
No? It's also releasing on PS4 and I really don't see how hard it could be to build an audience for a game that appeals to the Japanese and doesn't look that different to Apex and Genshin aesthetically. If anything, it would be a lot harder to convince the Switch fanbase to play this over Splatoon.
The PS4 is a very old console which active userbase is dwindling every single month at this point in time. And just because it is colorful doesn't mean it will be successful. If that's all it took, many anime games would be million sellers. You are tryiong to convince an audience that has no interest in that game into playing it. Splatoon-like games are on Switch, and you gotta be there if you want to have a shot at sucess. Thinking anything else is just suicide.
I never implied otherwise, just that it CAN succeed and it all comes down to Square Enix's handling of it. Honestly? It's best to wait and see how it turns out.
I just think that's just too of an optimistic take. We know PS5 and PS4 software is really strugling in Japan right now, so having a game on a genre that is clearly more popular on the Switch just for PS systems is questionable, and on top of that said game being more popular on Japan, whose PS marketshare is just around 10%.
I really don’t understand why all of you are having such a cow about it“Because you’re worth it”

I think he thinks that Splatoon fans will jump on Foamstars if they could get their hands on it, yes extremely stupid notion but what can we do, the internet gave everyone a voice.
I heard the same thing, cool I guess? I honestly thought it was needlessly maligned when it was first shown.
Winning game of the show and biggest surprise across many industry veterans is embarrassing?
Reminds me of that time Fornite turns into a Battle Royale when PUBG was the hit.
