Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Swamp Sensei]

They're talking about Sun and Moon now at least.

 

[Con0rrrr]

[AreJay25]

WE'VE BEEN SMECKLEDORFED BY THE POKEMON COMPANY

 

[Swamp Sensei]

[A Distant Demon]

This is why you never EVER get your hopes up. For anything. Ever.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

It's a good thing SGB uploaded a Rugrats video or the stream would bore me

I had no idea SGB uploaded a new video when I saw this post.
I was extremely confused.

 

[Deleted member]

Lemme guess, it was the direct trailer
****ing called it

 

[Icedragonadam]

This sums up everyone's reaction towards the event.

[Curious Villager]

Well.... at least they showed us a nice Pikachu-faced dish made of.... was it mashed potatoes?

 

[Deleted member]

This video pretty much describes the whole stream in a Nutshell.

Not like i was wathcing it anyway.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I think that was curry and rice

 

[Curious Villager]

Oh I see, that makes sense.

Stream was pretty blurry so I couldn't really tell.

 

[Burruni]

DON'T ANNOUNCE A GAME IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW.
A MONTH LATER YOU STILL HAVE NOTHING.

 

[Coricus]

I don't see why very many people are irritated when half the thread had their expectations below the floor anyway.

At any rate, even despite the reactions I still wouldn't qualify this reaction as even being a quarter as bad as typical salt. I mean, there's no mindless bashing, no calling for the heads of the developers, no rampant bickering. . .

 

[Arcadenik]

I think I want to see Miitomo get a stage in SSB5...

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I think I want to see Miitomo get a stage in SSB5...

I wouldn't be surprised if it does. Or on the NX version if it's a port of the Wii U/3DS versions.

 

[A Distant Demon]

We already got one in smash For tho

[Guybrush20X6]

Japanese TV reveal of Pokemon turns out to be a disappointment? Where have I seen that before...

 

[Curious Villager]

I wasn't really expecting much myself.

I don't remember much from these shows other than the hosts doing a bunch of random stuff as usual but I recall that we didn't really get to see much from OR AS other than footage of Primal Groudon and Kyogre, which I suppose is still more than this stream did. Not sure I remember how the ones before those went though other than vaguely remembering some guy in a Lucario suit....

Three words. Man and Bathtub.

I took some screenshots in Hyrule Warriors Legends today.

Spoiler

"You came to the wrong neighbourhood."

This line was in the original Hyrule Warriors but it's still my favourite.

And this was a really cool reference and it's full of feels.

 

[wedl!!]

not related to the current subject but this is 100% how i feel about multiplayer-only games

Spoiler: bideo

I'm happy with what Street Fighter V is right now, but if it were released a little later I wouldn't mind. If that meant loading times/netcode was improved I'd be happy.

 

[Deleted member]

For some reason this whole anouncement thing reminds me of the whole Cranky Kong and VGX event of 2013:

 

[Z25]

Let's not forget they specifically said:

first aired on tv footage for sun and moon.

Not anything new.
Besides masuda said there would be more then 10 pokemon guys!

So that means we're only getting 11 new Pokemon right?

 

[N3ON]

I'd actually post it but swf fancies us all seven-year-olds, so I'll abstain.

In any case, I'm pretty sure Serebii already said this stream likely wasn't going to reveal much of anything. Guess not everyone got the news.

All I'll say is the game is coming out this holiday and we really haven't seen any of it yet. iirc, that's uncommon for Pokemon. So I just hope it's not rushed.

 

[Wario Bros.]

February 24: Promised us the next Pokémon
What we got: A 20th anniversary trailer that dragged on waaaay too long then a couple seconds saying "Oh, Sun & Moon is a thing! No gameplay footage to show off though"

April 3: "We're going to talk about the new games"
What we got: The exact damn "trailer" from a few weeks ago

Maybe how X & Y pre-release advertising was done spoiled me but if you're promising something BIG, then I don't want to know anything if you're not ****ing ready to show it off.

 

[Coricus]

Guys! We hit the limit with Brawl! This game is only going to have 35 characters, tops! So don't go making any bigger rosters than that, because if you do you're delusional!

 

[Wario Bros.]

I think the problem with all this is Sun & Moon were announced WAY too early.

Especially when you recall we still don't know if the Ash-Greninja & new Zygarde forms (both of which are of Gen 6 origin) are actually going to show up in any core title.

 

[Con0rrrr]

I got HW: Legends yesterday and just now got to the new content.

Linkle is so fun I love her. Spraying people down is such a fun mechanic

Tbh for a AAA game that releases this holiday, announcing them in February isn't actually that early.

Unless, of course, the game is being rushed. Which is my worry.

X&Y was announced January and released October. This is probably just going to shift things by one month.

Yeah, they said "Holiday" 2016, so I'm assuming a November release, too.

 

[Arcadenik]

I got Hyrule Warriors Legends today. I'm now playing the story mode (currently in the second chapter). Once I'm done with that mode, I'll tackle adventure mode and play around with the new characters.

The difference between X&Y is that they were working on it at the same time they were working on gen 5. We don't know when they started development for gen 7, which is my biggest worry.

man....im glad i took that nap i missed exactly what i expected....nothing

Exactly. Though we can only guess so far, the development timeframe seems a little off, but the announcement timeframe seems normal. Which is why I worry about it being rushed.

They DID say something in the ORAS strategy guide interview about their trying to switch to a schedule where they could produce one new game a year instead of stretching each development period over several years. If they actually went through with that, I could see some development hiccups happening during the transitional phase. . .

It's hard to believe that it's been a whole year since the Ballot was opened.

As someone who was waiting all of March for an Alex trailer, I feel your pain ;_;
