I'm expecting total shit.

>>253014761
Shit.
Its completely unoriginal and lacks the charm that the actual games had by simply copying the style and mechanics.

>>253014761
Eurgh. The only thing that bothers me about it is that they named it Mother 4.

Considering how bad is the Mother fanbase, it'll be shit.

Doesn't even matter. The fact it's called Mother 4 and that it's not official will turn everyone off.

I give everything new the benefit of the doubt. I think it's too early to say right now. However, the music they have thus far sounds immensely Mother-ish and it even looks like it could be a continuation of the franchise.

My hopes are high, but I'm prepared to have them dashed as well.

I guess I'll be the first to declare mid-level hype for it, then.

It looks a'ight and is free, so no complaints.

that said i've been waiting for 3 years fucking come on now

OP, if you're not trying to bait, why did you post a five year old picture? It doesn't even look like that anymore.

>that faggy logo
>chase
>those horrid sprites

>>253014761
I'm optimistic. But, the thing is that Mother series have a huge "charm" component, and I don't know if the developer can reach the high standard of the series. This wouldn't be a significant problem if he didn't name it Mother 4.

>I'm going to write something that mimics or actually rivals the skill of Itoi
The audacity

So when is Nintendo going to C'nD this shit?

>>253017628
Why do people hold Itoi's writing skill to such a high regard? It's good, but it's not something you can write home about.

>>253017435
I suspect the developer is confident that he can recreate that charm. I doubt he would have labeled it as a sequel were he not confident.

However, it would help if people went into with an open mind, but since people are probably going to go in assuming it'll be shit, they're going to stick to that mindset and the whole thing will likely receive unnecessary hate including a lack of actual criticism.

>spic protag
shit.

well since the developers viraled it on /v/ its going to be horrible

Speaking off, how did that fan made Chrono Trigger sequel turn out?

>>253017860
Then don't call it mother 4, you could of easily said "Heaviy based on" or "Inspired by" and STILL ride the coattails of the earthbound series.
Calling it 4 is outright ballsy and egotistical.

>>253017790
>So when is Nintendo going to C'nD this shit?
They won't. Itoi said people can do whatever they want with the franchise because he was done after Mother 3. And technically, there's nothing directly related to Nintendo except the name "Mother"
Everything else is original content, including 98% of the music.

I just started playing Mother 3 (I already know the story so you niggers can't spoil it for me) and it's absolutely amazing. By far the most amazing thing is the music though.

>>253017951
except they haven't. stop blindly listening to what you hear.
where does this myth keep coming from?

>>253018104
Won't they legally have to CND it to protect their IP? The fact that the title and style suggests it is a sequel to the Mother series infringes on their trademark no?

>>253018104
Wow, thanks for confirming you don't know shit about copyright laws.

It's almost like they were trying to go for a sequel, or something.
I understand /v/ has a problem with that because it's fanmade and there's nothing "word of god" about it, but fuck, you jaded cunts don't even give something the benefit of releasing before you call it shit.

>>253020359
woah buddy, let the game come out before you project onto it

also...they're at least trying to expand the overworld and battle systems. apparently (judging from the starmen thread) there's a few social overworld elements and a few new battle ones
will they be good new mechanics? maybe, probably not, but it's a bit unfair to say before the game is released. baseless optimism or pessimism at this point is worthless.

Most every complaint about this game seems to be some form of projection.
I'm not even sure why this fangame in particular gets some much bad rep when there have been many like it before with similar names within the same franchise and in other fanbases.
What is it about this project in particular that gets people tied up in a fizzy?

How is this fangame "shitting on" the franchise, exactly? It's a fangame and it's not a direct sequel or part of the overall story of the original trilogy.

>made by high schoolers

What do you think? Itoi is an actual accomplished writer and his writing and set pieces are why the Mother games are great. These faggots are just obsessive and narcissist fans.

I know Mother fans desperately want a Mother 4, but don't stoop to support fanfiction. The Mother series is one of the only game series that actually ended on a good note, instead of spiraling down to irrelevance like so many game series.

I don't think you realize that it won't impact the series at all though. Unless it's by Itoi it's not canon, so it can't hurt the series other than make some people butthurt that it's called Mother 4.

You just literally reposted what he said with an image.
Im not sure how that image is supposed to make your arguement

Try again.

>>253024826

First of all, that's not even the logo anymore. Second of all, it's still not a direct sequel.
Third of all, they already stated it'll have ties with previous mother games.

So what's your damage, anon?

>>253024267

Almost every argument stems from that. People can be insanely defensive over Itoi's stuff too.

You just literally missed the point.

It's going to be free.

>>253024535
They've already said that most of the game won't heavily rely on elements from the Trilogy, so removing ties to the Mother franchise shouldn't actually hurt it too much.

>>253025402
You can make it sure, you can't profit from it.

Unless they start selling it for money, which they presumably aren't planning to, then they should be fine.

>>253025186
>>253025078
>>253025001
He's pointing out that they have the audacity to label it in the fashion of a main series title (you know, calling it Mother 4 and not Mother: Subtitle) and that it's extremely disrespectful to the series.

Even though I'm hyped for Mother 4, I kind of agree. Naming it that has given the image that the dev teams expects itself to put out a product of the quality of a main series game, as well as implying they have what it takes to match Itoi's work. I don't think they're that full of it but the name really is setting the bar for themselves, as well as setting the expectations of their more demanding fans.

They need to change it.

>>253025665
Except mostly people in the west DO refer to it as the Mother series
You won't see anyone calling Earthbound Mother 2 except for supernerds, but everyone still refers to the series and the third game as Mother

I wonder if the guy killed himself after that C&D

Hasn't someone already asked the team "why did you decide to name it Mother 4?" I mean, if I were in the team, I'd make sure everyone knew why, with how much controversy it's causing.

>>253025807
Well he should have just said that then. I can kinda agree with that.

>>253025807
>They need to change it.
They don't really NEED to do anything. They're making this in their free time and doing it for free. To feel entitled to any specific changes is absolutely childish.

>>253026008
What really sucks about >>253024091
is that Sega initially actually gave them the go ahead on the project.
It wasn't until almost literally right before it came out that they issued the C&D.

But you can still find it on the internet I understand. It got mirrored

We are not going to change the name so get over it.

>>253025778
Because they wanted to make a game, and thought it'd be funner to make a fangame.
It's why most people do hacks or original games based of of already made games.
Also, Caps Lock may be cruise control for cool, but you still need to steer.

Mother fanboys are fucking atrocious, no wonder fangame devs are going quiet now.

I think they have the right to call it mother 4 since the last game didn't get a U.S. release. Deep down everyones willing to try this and anyone who isn't, is not a real earthbound fan.

Why are you all so goddamn autistic? It's just a fucking name, grow the fuck up. Besides, the creator regrets calling it Mother 4 but the name stuck since it's what the project is recognised to be called.

I don't feel entitled at all. Shit, in the end I really don't care if they change the name.

However, I believe changing the name would be a SMART decision, both to pacify an absolutely MASSIVE amount of shitflinging and even potentially lower the risk of a C&D considering the main-line style title could rub off on Nintendo's legal team the wrong way one day.

Mother 4 is fine for a small fan project, but this game blew up to colossal proportions and a lot of eyes are on them. They should be more careful with how they portray themselves and their game.

I mean yeah, it's only Mother, but legal teams and C&D's can be fucking unpredictable at times, and something simple as a name could step on the wrong foot.

>>253027260
For the devs, it's probably just their way of expressing their intense love and compassion for the series. I think it's endearing.

>>253027341
Good God chill the fuck out.

>>253027341

>>253026645

ABSOLUTE HORSE SHIT

>>253016167

This is basically exactly how I feel about the project.

The dude who made a earthbound even said that he'd rather see a fan-made Mother 4 than be forced to make a Mother 4. He said that Mother is supposed to be a personal experience, and so he would like to see what fans would think of the series.

Anyhow, I dunno if Mother 4 will be good, but at least Mother has fans dedicated enough to bring the rest of the fandom something they think everyone will enjoy. That's awesome.

>>253026616

With people who make a massive shitfest about such a thing like a name, it's doubtful that there'd be any benefit in appeasing them as they'd just move on to another thing to shitfling about. There's also the deal with that being a show of weakness, "if you can get them to change a name just by complaining about it enough, what else can you get them to do".

Holy shit, enough with the caps. What are you, 12?

>>253027345
I don't think the actual makers of the game said it was like Earthbound but people interested in it did, but maybe I'm mistaken.

>>253028053
Likely because it uses a similar engine.

>>253028037
Actually the artist does the art for the game

What really bothers me is that it's named Mother 4
The level up jingle thing is pretty fucking cool though

I'm just wondering if it's going to continue the story.
I mean, why bother calling it Mother 4 if it's not related to the previous games?
If it is unrelated, then they might as well call it Mother (subtitle).

>>253027189

This is my main issue and basically why I "allow" the title Mother 4. It's obviously named Mother 4 because they've read that interview and it's a cheeky way of paying respect to the creator. Ironically enough, people who are complaining about the name are not in the right Mother mindset
I'll reserve judgement until it comes out

>>253028162
They've already got a plan in case of C&D, and it involves only very slight changes with the game. As much as people want this down, it won't be able to be fully taken down because it doesn't rely heavily on assets of other Mother games to begin with.

The fact that the developers were smart pisses people off and that's just great.

>>253028660
that shit doesn't work. I wrote a letter posing as the mother 4 team asking for permission to use the mother name. I then reforward them the email every day

That's exactly what Mother 2 does with Mother and what Mother 3 does with Mother 2.

Actually naming it "Mother 4" is arrogant as fuck. It's like when Ninja Theory made DmC.

>>253028651

It doesn't matter if its free when it infringes copyrighted material.

>>253028741
>I'll reserve judgement until it comes out
That's what everyone should do, really. Or at least until we actually get a really good look at the game. So far, we only have that one trailer.

>>253029026
Reminder that Pokey has one of the worst fates of any video game character ever. I think he just wanted to be friends with Ness.

It's an excuse to bait everyone else in the thread.

Seriously, read every pro-C&D post in this thread. It's not people who are genuinely mad at the game and trying to destroy it, they're in here because it's very easy to set bait with this topic of discussion.

Shit, they're sending reports to Nintendo. It's an easy way to piss everyone off and they can't do nothing about it. Perfect bait.

>>253029449
Well, you'd lose nothing if they made it, you know

>>253028162
>>253026931
Never.
Itoi said he didn't care.
He's openly expressed his disinterest in continuing the series himself and actively mentioned how he would like to see a game made by other people.

>>253029513

this winter according to them

Mother 4 is life. Mother 4 is anything.
Itoi said that it could be anything, from an experience to a stage play.
There are billions of Mother 4s. We're living in Mother 4.

>>253029657
Mother 4 fucking sucks.

>>253029387
As opposed to Mother 3, which got pretty dark all the time.
I mean, the original script for Tanetane Island was scrapped because Itoi couldn't stop crying.

>>253029026
Most of the middle of Mother 3 was overall decently humourous. It had stuff like Barrier Trio, Magypsies, Negative Man, that jar of pickles, etc.

I think now we need to propose subtitles for the game.

>Mother: You had me.
>Mother: Tell the children not to walk my way.
>Mother: I want to fuck you.
>Mother: Mother harder.

>>253029487
Oh yeah, huh. I guess his death is just so silly and anticlimactic that I forgot.

>>253029396
There are people like you in every MOTHER 4 thread. You aren't the first, and you won't be the last. It doesn't change that you're not changing or impacting a thing.

Itoi basically did the pulled a Conker and told us to make our own sequel if we wanted it

this is just the response to that

>>253028741
>It's obviously named Mother 4 b
It was named that before the interview when the head faggot was still in charge.

They booted the guy and restarted development with the same general idea. It was too late to change the name because the few people who did know about it knew it as mother 4.

Stop being salty you fucking faggot. It's just a name.

>>253028814
Mother introduces Giygas.
Mother 2 kills off Giygas and introduces Porky.
Mother 3 essentially kills of Porky.

>>253029713
Mother 3 starts dark, but lightens up the more you advance. The next really dark part of the game is the island and then the endgame.

>>253029708
>mother fans suddenly don't want a Mother 4 from Itoi

Earthbound is definitely a sequel to Mother. It has the Maria plot, Magicant, and it's not farfetched that your parents are actually Ana and Ninten.

Which goes back to >>253025421.

Okay, maybe not crying, but he certainly didn't feel too happy reading it.

>Itoi: I had a hard time with that island. It has that Moonside vibe to it, and it's like a mirror of the player's mind in that it reflects their worst nightmares. Even the temporary dialogue I had used there at first was so unpleasant I couldn't stand to look at it. So I tried to tone things down just enough by rewriting it. But that island definitely isn't pleasant at all.

>>253030009

>>253029613
The Chono remake? Square would. Their remake would have been compared to the project and be made obsolete.

The question is what would nintendo lose with this fangame?

Literally nothing.

Just FYI the reason they called it Mother 4 is because Itoi basically implied he's not making another Mother title.

When asked about making another Mother title after he completed 3, he said, "If someone decided to make a Mother 4, I'd love to see it!" or something to that effect.

>>253030226
It would make sense. It's the right timeframe, and Ness is the chosen one basically. With PSI powers.
The Mom is never given a name but is blonde and you never see your Father. It is a theory but I believe it.
Another fun one is that the Ness Face in the Giygas battle is actually Ninten. At that point in time, Giygas had been defeated as Gigyue by Ninten, Ana, and Teddy/Loid, but Ness wasn't even alive at the time of battle, Not to mention he's a robot so Giygas doesn't know his actual face.

Play it yourself when it comes out and judge it, but in the end it makes absolutely no impact whatsoever.

You keep throwing words like "talentless" and "rip off" around, but I don't think you know what they mean.

The obvious answer would be "IF THEY WERE ACTUALLY GOOD THEY'D BE DOING THEIR OWN THING"

Yeah, it's probably not a fucking good idea for someone to hire them off this project. I agree with that completely. Honestly they SHOULD just change the name and make it a stand-alone thing, but you don't need to be so horribly butthurt about it. And who knows? I don't think the name will carry it alone. I completely disagree that a name will carry it alone. It'll take a lot of effort to come up with the charm of the original series, but we'll just have to wait and see if it does it.

you should probably wait until the game comes out before you start passing judgement. We don't even know if it will be any good or not. All we can do is wait.

Holiday Hex and Hallow's End are pretty bitchin'. If there are any hacks you choose to play here, pick one of those. Halloween Hack and Arn's Winter Quest are also pretty good, if the former's a little edgy, and both made by the same dude behind Undertale. Some good shit.

this is why Nintendo loyalists are bad, we're not allowed to make anything except for Nintendo or without Nintendo's confirmation.

if they see a fan project that being made, they're are gonna go full Third Reich and purge and blackmail the innocent creation.

this is why the Ura Zelda and Starfox fan projects is down, rabid Nintendo loyalists. I think after they are done with Mother 4, they're gonna go after the Metroid 2 Remake and some certain Zelda/Mario game. Including Crash: Wrath of the Crytals

>>253034698
But how do you know this whole thread isn't Nintendo loyalist vs Nintendo loyalist?

Tumblr Mook pls go

>>253014761
Not anyone can do what itoi did with the series. So i doubt it

>>253014761
It will be objectively shit.
If it was named anything other than Mother 4 than it might be decent.

>>253034962
Robot, not alien

mother 3 was the intended ending. shit 1/10

>>253035505
robot alien

>>253034487
>Mother remake
Pls, pls no

>>253035356
You can pretend it's called MOTHER: Gaiden. If that'll magically change the contents inside to something beautiful for you, go right ahead.

>>253018659

That's not how trademarks work.

Mother is trademarked by Nintendo. By using the name Mother in a video game context you're breaching their trademark and so Nintendo is free to claim damages.

If Nintendo plans to release a Mother 4, you can sure as hell bet they'll take this one down. It's confusing to potential customers and damages the brand with its lack of uniqueness; something Mother is known for.

This is just a plain rip-off using elements from the previous games like every other fan project. The problem here is simply the name. It takes up space for the true sequel if it ever comes to light.

These M4 douches can defend themselves with what they thought a Japanese guy had said in some interview translated into English but at the end of the day Nintendo owns rights, not him.

>>253035505
alien robot

>>253017435
What worries me is that Itoi is a respected writer in japan and every game tried to take the same concept in differents aspects (specially the third one). Whoever is writing this fangame needs to catch Itoi style, and be a good writer with a lot of creativity.

Alien robot, check your robot privilege.

But it's not.

>>253035505
Is it even robotic? I thought it was just in the Earthbound translation that it had references to that part.

>>253035647
What's up, anon? They're remaining as faithful as possible to the source game. It's a graphical update more than anything else.

In the same way that Skeeter is the "black guy" from Doug. *honk! honk!*

>>253028920
C&D won't do jack shit since the developers said they'd just change the game to the point where it's legally a new IP.

>>253028812
Man, man...you are a trooper. I bet you get employee of the month every month.

>>253035647
Mother 1 is in the most need for a remake, imo.
I would've rather it used mother's graphics and combat though.

>>253035847
Do we get a choice of original game play or Earthbound scrolling meter?

>>253035898
Sorry that no one wants to play your shitty fanfic.

>>253018249
I liked the story. I would like it had the removed content because i also liked the idea of the game being even darker. But Itoi Didn't like where the story was going and decided not to make it so dark, maybe that was the wiser choice but i still wonder how mother 3 was going to be when it was being developed for the N64.

>>253036068
Uh, yes actually. Skeeter is clearly the cool black dude of Doug.

*Mother 3's graphics and combat

>>253023692
They called it Mother 4 because of an interview with Itoi where he said that he didn't want to make Mother 4. But if he 'd like it had to be from the fans.

They are not doing that for themselves or for you , anyway.

>>253036168
Doesn't look like it. Not that it matters.

>>253036125
They will because the developers HAVEN'T changed the name and there are gameplay mechanics that still infringe on copyrights

I'm interested, but I can't get hyped for a fan-project. I'll keep my eyes on it and if it happens to be good, I'll be happy.

>>253034698
>they're gonna go after the Metroid 2 Remake
But anon that project will never be finished anyway. Seriously, the guy has been working on it since like 2009

>>253036586
Source.

>>253036586
NO, they called it Mother 4 because they're ripping off the art style, gameplay and NAME
Look at any of the screenshots you faggot.
