Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Is Splatoon being rushed?

t3mporary_126 on 04 February 2015

Due to recent news it may seem so. So far Splatoon lacks features that are common for online shooter at this day and age. 

These include:

1. No voice chat in random online matches

2. No bots available in 4 vs 4 matches

3. No online modes other than the one 4 vs 4 match in random online matches*

*We have no info about online matches with friends yet

Compared to other FPS and TPS with online modes made by well known developers, this is pretty barebone. Or are we asking too much from Nintendo? Have we taken for granted that other FPS and TPS offer much more options? 

 

Splatoon is planned to release this May. Will Nintendo have time to revise and add more features? Or will they stick to what they have?

No, Nintendo intentionally made these stupid decisions. It's nothing new.

Odds are there will probably be game mode expansions over the years instead of getting a yearly Splatoon release there will probably be free add on DLC

You're being extremely optimistic.

I don't think so. The game was playable last E3, so they'll probably add these features until launch (or it's just Nintendo making bad decisions :P).



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Nah. I actually see that something. It is a perfect game for it. Now, wheather it will be free dlc or paid is the question. Nintendo sometimes does free, but when they do paid, it is actually worth it.

 

Regarding the post, no, I do not believe it is rushed. Deciding not to add options in is not rushing it.

My biggest takeaway from the news today was the Hero Mode, which really caters to me as a gamer (Platformer style single player mode) so in that case I'm actually even more excited for the game.

However, I can see why many are bummed by the decisions made in the multiplayer realm. I don't think this is a case of "asking too much" of EAD 2 (although their strength is not in multiplayer, as their main focus has been titles like Animal Crossing, Wii Sports, and Nintendo Land). Hopefully they can hear enough voices to patch some elements in.
