Have there been any wider shots of the new hub? I'm trying to work out what all the stores are.

You can see a hat shop, Ammo Knights and probably Salmon Run on the left. Then I'm guessing that's local battle on the right and maybe a minigame? Crusty Sean seems to show up in a truck just off camera, but he's not selling shoes any more, so there must be another couple of stores somewhere.

>>174060163
For them our cities are like Atlantis that was actually found. Their linguists and historians decyphered the language, found that it was simple and logical and adopted as one of written languages. They obviously can't speak it, though, but graffiti on the walls and TV ads don't need to talk.

>>174062498
But why try to adopt a dead language for an entirely different civilization, AND keep using the language you've created over thousands upon thousands of years?

I mean, for historical and research purposes, it's great, so know they can learn more about their human predecessors.

>>174062730

>>174091893
maybe the Salmonid are outbreeding the Octolings and Squidlings, and only come ashore in specific areas, forcing Squidlings and Octolings to beat down their common foe while also fighting each other for the precious Salmonid egg resources

for narrative reasons, DJ Octavio sneaks into Inkopolis "periodically" i.e. each time a player enters a Horde queue, to "steal" that player's Squidling gear for their Octoling alt to use in Horde mode, and when the player quits the queue to play some other mode their Squidling swipes the gear back and takes it up to Inkopolis

I'm afraid I think most of what made them seem playable was just down to the fact that they were coded as a subtype of the player character, rather than any deliberate hints.

They are popular though, and so far Splatoon 2 has basically been ticking wish list item after wish list item for me, so who knows.

So what other species could they add in Splatoon that could be playable?

>>174102496
I'm sure they could make their idea of rabbits work, but use stylized sea hares instead. Since they're slugs they could leave a very small ink trail behind them when walking/running but I dunno how much that would affect gameplay. Since it's set so far in the future they could probably make some other sea creatures evolve and also produce ink.

>>174102496
Jellyfish, I guess

>>174102180
Shoot, now that's a shame. Guess there's always next time. Those are some bitching tracks though.

>>174176858
What's your idea for it? Run speed on it is shit, it has no range to run. Damage up is useless, it has no problems with def up and has too much spread to care about falloff. Efficiency is useless, it sips little and constantly swims. Special charge is meh, it's a poor inker despite its gargantuan net output. Duration on Zooker is pure shit, you want to get a couple snipes with it and shed the vulnerability ASAP. Special Saver, Comeback, Haunt and QR/QSJ- maybe, it dies a lot, but Stealth Jump is pretty useless, if you jump into enemy ink you have no way out. Swim Speed and Ink Res are easily the best abilities on any Sploosh, and bomb range is vital on 7 and very good on Neo.

Splatoon pleb here. I played the test fire for 2 but never played the first game. Do you get to customize your loadout or is it preset like the test fire was?

>>174220162
you can customize it
your inkling, weapon and gear
the testfire is 50% demo 50% nintendo playing with their servers

>>174220162
Both and neither.

Each hat, shirt, and pair of shoes has one Main ability, which can't be changed, and three sub abilities, which can be randomly rolled, rerolled, etc. until you get your preferred bonuses.

Each gun comes with one Sub weapon (mostly bombs) and one Special weapon (Krakens, Inkstrikes, Killer Wails, etc.) which are all preset. However, there are many alternate versions of each weapon, which have different Subs and Specials than the standard weapon.
That said, no weapon has enough alternate kits to include every combination of Sub and Special weapons, so the weapon you choose influences your playstyle pretty strongly.

>>174220608
>>174220479

Ah ok interesting thanks. That's a bit of a relief. That was something I was worried about having only played the testfire. So your appearance might actually reflect your playstyle? That's neat

I would fucking love separate ranks for each mode. It'd be so much better. I'd love to be able to get really good at all the modes separately. salmon run is probably gonna be its own thing, so hopefully they do the same for the other modes.

Ranked turf war is legit a good idea. The elation/salt of winning/losing to a last second inkstrike alone would be glorious and worth it.

>>174282259
Thing is, it revolves around the last few seconds so heavily, it makes most of the match not mean much. Maybe if you had something like reaching 85% turf control for a KO, so the mid game is actually fraught.

>>174282259
splat zones is turf wars converted to a competitive format, literal turf wars in ranked would require tiny maps or higher playercounts in order to make combat meaningful and both of those options break the overall game balance

Calm down there, son.
Also getting it to single digits is pretty solid at that point you can try and play it more defensive.
Not saying you shouldn't go for the dunk though of course.

>>174299664

I guess everyone is different but I almost never play defensively in RM. To me it's a game of yardage. Every yard you dig into their territory is a yard they have to get back before they can put points on the board. Don't be suicidal but pretty much always be applying positive pressure on the enemy team. Defensive play requires near perfect team coordination because any holes can easily be exploited. We've all had those "They camp the RM for almost a two minutes before we stole a win" victories.

rainmaker is a shit implementation of single-flag reverse CTF because it favours chargers for both offensive pathing and defensive pickoffs of a globally-visible objective, and the frontline of combat moves too quickly for any team to reasonably respond defensively

tower control is a shit implementation of escort/push objective because the active objective area is too small, favouring blasters as a defensive measure and encouraging a deathball combat meta

splat zones is the only competitive mode with any kind of balance

What are you on about? I like playing RM and TC and I don't like playing SZ. If I have the option to pick a mode then let me pick a mode not this "you can pick a mode but it's still random anyways" nonsense.

>>174367697
i don't like RM but unless you can guarantee a solid 10M sales to keep up a competitive population for every gametype at every hour of the day then you better get used to playing other modes

unless, of course, you want the current "lol fuck your daily schedule" system to continue

>>174368214

I'm more then willing to wait longer in a queue to play the modes I want. RM and TC are worth a longer wait, SZ is not.

So who is going to send Inklings so the salmonid homeland? an actual bear?
who will send inklings to Octovalley? Marie?

that's why for my method "choosing" a mode only makes your game client prefer it in matchmaking, it gets rid of the "lmao ur favorite mode happened while u were asleep get fucked m8" but also accounts for variable or low online/ranked population

that said i expect the switch to keep selling like hotcakes as MK8D and ARMS release, and Splatoon was such a crazy hit on such a tiny console in the first place that we might just get the kind of playerbase in 2 that lets the game have dedicated queues for each ranked mode, which would be awesome

either way i expect some balance changes to every ranked mode, so there will be less reason for anyone to hate a given mode and everyone will be happy squid kid no matter what kind of queue we end up with

do you like the new stored charge in splatoon 2?

>>174450874
Man, I know that feel. The initial stages of learning a new thing are so much fun, but as soon as it's passable it's like NEXT THING. I only get good at things when I make up artificial challenges.

>>174453035

This is why I haven't been playing ranked since I got my S rank back.

I do agree that they should do something about the rank mode in Splatoon 2. Maybe something where more individual achievements at least soften the point loss you take when you lose. I have never squid squadded in this game and I hate the feeling of not knowing whether my rank is going down because of my lack of skill or because I just got a bad roll when the game paired me up. Trying to rank up playing nothing but random matchups is the worst kind of hell.

>>174454502
I try to cover my range from wherever the front line is and avoid down time as much as possible. So there are usually a few "main" vantage points over where the fight currently is, but any time I'm not actively trying to shoot someone from there I'll hop forward to cover a bit of enemy turf or pop down the side paths to make sure no one's flanking. If the rest of my team is defending really solidly I'll go and flank myself and try to surprise a couple people.

>>174454502

With the Splatterscopes themselves I really can't aim for shit. With other Chargers like the Squiffer and Hero Charger, I can rack up kills easily. In the testfire, I mostly used the charger and was coming out with scores like 8 to 3. But when I have a scope, I do my best acting as support in creating paths for my teammates into enemy territory and then placing sprinklers in very strategic areas.

Squid kids will never not be cute.

Biggest disappointments from the new game so far? Gear seems to still have fixed primary abilities, so cool looking gear with garbage primaries like last ditch effort will continue to be awful. Only 4 hairstyles per gender? I guess the range of hats sorta makes up for it. Also the selection of pants looked like it was limited to like 3 options which is also kinda lame.

>>174466853

the cool thing about gear tho in this one is that apparently you can customize the sub slots without save scumming, no more random rolls. Just grinding your shit, removing abilities you don't like and fitting what you want/need on it.

Yeah, that's definitely a big plus. Technically hairstyles and pants are an upgrade over splatoon 1 as well, but I wish they had more variety. I feel like they also could've dropped the number of subs per gear to two and made pants like any other gear type.

I am really excited for the Horde mode though. Fingers crossed for online co-op (it has to have that, right?) and at least 3 maps.

>>174473780
Chances are, they're gonna add more hairstyles and pants options as time goes on.

Now that Splatoon is less of an experiment, and more of a full franchise, I feel like Nintendo should be able to put a lot more work into the updates.

>>174466853
I guess I'm disappointed that the graphics aren't that much of an improvement over the original. It doesn't look worse, and there are some subtle improvements, but 720p in TV mode is a bit of a let down. I understand the Switch is mobile hardware and the devs want to maintain a solid 60fps at all times, but I think Splatoon's art direction is one of its biggest attributes and it's a shame it doesn't have the screen resolution and anti-aliasing to compliment it further. Hopefully when Nintendo releases a new Switch iteration in a few years with the latest Tegra chip it'll support 1080p, or maybe even up to 4k.

>>174476441
In TV Mode the Switch outputs at 1080p

I don't know how so many people missed that.

>>174477881
Technically yes, the Switch does output at 1080p, but the games themselves are usually rendered at a lower resolution. For example, Breath of the Wild runs at 900p on the Switch in docked mode (or you can choose 720p for increased performance), and the Splatoon 2 testfire from a few weeks ago ran at 720p in docked mode.

I am more active then stationary and the stored charge just makes me more of a threat.

Favorite Charger in order is Squiffer>Bamboozler>SplatCharger>E-liter

Why'd they fuck the stick aiming in spla2n? Why can't I use the stick to look up and down along with the gyro?

>>174495625
You couldn't in the original Splatoon either, but still, it is a mystery.

I personally would have loved to fully use both, but I guess Ninty wants to make our lives harder.

>>174496914
I found it a bit frustrating initially as well, but after a while I got used to it, and actually would most likely prefer not having vertical movement on the stick when on gyro controls. Having only horizontal spin on the stick, and having it as fast as it is, makes spinning around to deal with an incoming threat from behind incredibly reliable since you only have to do major aim adjustments along one axis. Although I'm sure there's plenty of people that want vertical on the stick as well, so if they did change it, as long as there's at least the option of keeping it horizontal only then I'd be happy.

Why isn't there a Nintendo or Switch General?

>>174499505
there are legends that say that there was indeed a nintendo general

>>174499505
There is, isn't there? Nintendo generals were a refuge for /ink/ when these threads died. Or have the tables turned?

>>174499965
/nintyg/ is dead
gor is dead
bitcoin shitposter is dead

did they say if the amiibo would remember all the skills on a clothing piece?
would it still work if you took it to a friends place but they didn't have the gear unlocked yet?
what would happen if you take a squid back in time to an earlier version and tried to use gear that doesn't exist yet?

>>174508591
I assumed the idea was that you could take your amiibo to a friend's place or a tournament and use your gear, but I don't think they explicitly clarified that. If it can't find the gear it'll probably just throw an error.

>>174509123
>to tournament
Why not just bring your Switch.

>>174510197
But how will nintendo justify those amiibux.

>>174515586
i dont get it

>>174510574
They literally showed bringing your Switch with you to esports events in the reveal trailer.
You did put an amusing image into my head, where the camera shows a player choosing an amiibo to scan out of half a dozen he laid out beneath his screen, all with excited commentary from the commentators.
>1-2, match point, will Anon go with his trademark Rapid that didn't work out so far or finally cave in and pick a meta set for a guranteed performance? No, he picked the green squid, the madman! If this guy goes sown, he goes down in a blaze of glory, everything for the audience!

It's suggesting changing ink colour actually involves actually putting on makeup and ingesting a bunch of coloured food.

stick aiming with gyro is limited to the x-axis because the y-axis ingame is constrained to +/- 180 degrees, i.e. you can't aim so far up that you loop around backwards, while the x-axis is unconstrained and you can turn n degrees in either direction forever

basically the gyro already covers +/- 180 on the y-axis so the physical limitations of the player aiming beyond that are irrelevant, but you can't have the player sitting in a chair spinning n degrees to the left, therefore stick aiming allows for larger x-axis turns to compensate for the player always facing the TV but being wanting/able to turn infinitely

i wouldn't mind having both axes on the joystick just to see what it's like, but i expect that playtesting is what resulted in the current state of gyro controls

t. mechanics autist, i'll be around

>>174527414
you explained it well. I always liked how they constrained up and down movement to gyro, honestly. being able to control that with sticks would be needless in my opinion.

I don't even touch the stick 99% of the time, just flick it inbetween firefights to adjust my general heading.

>>174527414
That's what I assumed, but then it sounds like BOTW just has both axes unlocked?

woomy

>>174495625
You just had to adjust sensitivity settings
