Official DLC Speculation Discussion Volume II

[SharkLord]

Aside from Bayo3 becoming the new HL3, they also elaborated on their thoughts on the PS5, a possible Star Wars game, a quick note on Astral Chain, and how the true final reveal of Platinum4 is yet to come

Taking the AC part because Astral Chain takes top priority
(Note that I'm using a different source, which you can see here)

Clearly Nintendo announced Bayonetta 3 earlier than they should but I guess this is what happens when you make early announcements to generate hype among fans when development has barely started. Similar case with Metroid Prime 4.

And SMTV.
And Pikmin 4.
And inevitably BotW2
And Project GG though tbf that's Platinum not Nintendo.

And people wonder why Nintendo waits until right before release...

The one about how a Tales rep would have their reveal and/or Sakurai Presents timed to be before the Tales anniversary livestream, like with Steve and MineCon. The problem is that it keeps getting associated with the anniversary itself rather than the livestream, and I sorta feel responsible for pushing the anniversary-based reveal theories.

Don't worry. I'm pretty sure the anniversary hyperfocus was a big thing long before you breathed that theory.

All you did was keep those hyperfocused people fed

We did get SMTV news and a release date eventually tho...

Only announcing stuff like 2 months before release isn't exactly an optimal strategy either, you want to build up on hype over time, not just go "Hey this exists and comes out next month see you then" like they did with their biggest original games last year

 

[Otoad64]

And Pikmin 4.

to be fair they didn't formally announce pikmin 4, miyamoto was just like "yup, it's coming!"

 

[Cutie Gwen]

It's been 6 months since and we've heard nothing in that time. I'm willing to give Atlus **** for Nocturne as that's the typical Atlus thing but V's worldwide release suggests Nintendo's got a big hand in it

personally I think the best

to be fair they didn't formally announce pikmin 4, miyamoto was just like "yup, it's coming!"

He also said it was close to finish

 

[SNEKeater]

Considering Retro has only just released a hiring post about a month ago where they're looking for a boss/ai designer I'm starting to think we won't see the game this year.

It'll release in 2022 if we're lucky.

But companies constantly hire people. That's not a problem. Saying this because every time Retro Studios posts a job offer people goes like "Prime 4 is in development hell" or "looks like they're still in early development" and that's not it. I mean, they could be having problems, but hiring posts aren't really related to that because developers leaving/joining companies is a frequent thing in the industry.

Also, them looking for boss/AI designer doesn't mean they just have started with that. It could mean the previous employee left, or that they need more than 1 guy for that role, which sounds like a good thing to me by the way.

Actually Miyamoto said it was very close to being complete in like...2015

 

[Otoad64]

yeah, I know, that's still not a formal announcement though.

 

[SMAASH! Puppy]

Actually Miyamoto said it was very close to being complete in like...2015

Which leads a lot of credence to the idea that it was canceled and/or had to restart development for some ungodly reason. No way is a game almost done for 5 years.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

yeah, I know, that's still not a formal announcement though.

It's still 5 years of a game being "nearly finished" with nothing to show for it.

So chances are either the entire thing got cancelled or development has restarted entirely like with Prime 4.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

yeah, I know, that's still not a formal announcement though.

It was still confirmed 5 years ago, which is what matters. I don't care for Pikmin but goddamn that's ****ty to do

Gordon Freeman: First time?

Chell: Join our club, Bayonetta.

Half-life fans literally just got what is without a doubt a masterpiece of VR. The first. I think they’re doing fine.

 

[Pillow]

Am I going crazy? I could’ve sworn there was some pikmin 4 news in a direct that happened sometime in the last year.

On another note, today just so happens to be the anniversary of me buying my switch. So imo Nintendo should announce something today.

That was Pikmin 3 Deluxe. A Wii U port.

Speaking OF Wii U ports... y’all missing the one game that matters MOST...

let her in.

Nope. Only Pikmin 3 Deluxe.

You might be thinking of the 3DS spinoff Hey! Pikmin, which came out in 2017.

I don't know if that's the Pikmin 4 that Miyamoto referred to or if it is something completely different.

You're right. We still need Devil's Third.

I fully agree but if you want to get a VR Headset that is compatible with Alyx it will run you 600 bucks easily.

and if you want a Valve made one it's uhhhh....

There are options like the Oculus and Dell, but they require massive amounts of tinkering or Require Facebook

Sorry about this but I needed to go on a VR Rant^tm

How many pages of Fire Emblem hating will it take to make up for it?

This is the price for a headset so theoretically you would buy it for a bunch of games. but the sample size for VR games is pretty small in comparison to a full on game console so it's probably not worth almost 2000.

Would you believe it started with a discussion on Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield?

When taken out of context like that it's arguably that much worse

I mean, I wish I could say it's the weirdest discussion I've witnessed here, but I can't.

On the bright side, at least it's still better than Shared Content. Mostly.

 

[GoodGrief741]

At least 10

I'm going to interpret that in the worst way

 

[Firox]

About 3.4 should do the trick....give or take a few.

I guess I shouldn't bring up that it's cannon that people used to marry Pokémon then huh?
