Can we stop to appreciate that the entire system model is based around less incentive to actually shoot the other team and more incentive to shoot the ground instead?

Inklings, for all intensive purposes, have unlimited ammo. So who cares if you have to spend the game shooting walls/etc? There is no penalty for doing so.
'Course, you get like +100 points or something if you actually shoot an opposing player, but still.

 

Also there's TF2 which doesn't even have TDM.

TF2 has actual objectives, instead of just HURR DURR SHOOT STUFF THAT MOVES LEL

Amazon is wrong.

GameExplain just got a full 5 hours with the game in both single and multiplayer. That generally means it's within 2-3 months from release.

>Game gives you a tutorial that also lets you customize how your Inkling appears.

Ahh, so THATS what determins your Inkling's gender/skin color. I was still under the impression it would be random, which would be pretty sily.

And I'm going to assume that in said tutorial, they give you bare-bones versions of existing weapons/etc, and then the cool versions are what you have to buy later. K.

 

Also, Crusty Shawn is amazing name for that shoe store owner.

 

AND IM NOT SURPRISED THAT THE GEAR'S EFFECTS WONT CARRY OVER TO MULTIPLAYER.

Tap in a Splatoon series amiibo™ figure to access new challenges. Complete them to get exclusive in-game gear for your Inkling!

So... It's either going to be straight-up busted weapons that define the game.
OR just goofy redecos.
...
'Course, there is also the chance that this is what you get:

Which kinda' sucks, because it looks really amazing.

Either way, I'm tempted to get said Amiibos, if only because having figures of the Inklings would be neat.

I'm a messenger directly from Splatoon Direct, ready to bring you some inkciting info! The ones who preorder the game at Gamestop (I DID YAY!) will receive a special code to unlock special Inkling boy, girl and squid costumes for Super Smash Bros Wii u and 3ds! There are also gonna be Squidfests, huge global events that have special matches. The first one will be from June 20th to June 21st!

At the Squid Research Labs they also announced that much more downloadable FREE content will be available post-launch, these include new maps, gears and weapons! (THE HYPE!).

For more detailed and precise information i suggest you go to Nintendo's website! From Cosmo it's all! (THE HYPE'S KILLING ME!)

 

 

 

 

 

Also........ They released a Splatoon demo

Dude, we all watched the direct.

 

Also it's right here:

It basically confirmed that the game was never meant to come out in May but they decided to cut content to get it out earlier and just patch the rest of the content in later, which is why the rumored size of the data on the disc was so low.

 

Still no 4 player offline multiplayer. And unless I just missed it, was there even private matchmaking? Praying to god we get LAN support...

 

The fact that there are only 2 maps you can play on every 4 hours is dumb.

At first I thought the narrator was actually J.K. Simmons.

 

The free updates are all planned for summer at least, so it won't be all that long. Cool that there's gonna be a payload gamemode with that tower, too. And yes, they're bringing in private matchmaking among friends.
