Thread 720130658

What does Nintendo need to do in order to really sell Splatoon 4 to you?

>new weapon class
>new play mode besides salmon run/turf war/anarchy

>three maps per rotation
>endless salmon run
>weekly content instead of seasonal
>no battle pass

If they want a bunch of collectables then I'd rather a whole room to decorate instead of a tiny locker that you can't even fit all the trophies in.

>>720130823
>weekly content
There's no need to rush things out that quickly.
Also what would you replace the battle pass with to earn gear or items?

inkling spats removal mechanics

>>720131556
The game actually had pantsu modeled on the characters but the final release removed them.

So what does the other's team ink feel like?

>>720131963
Lava.

Is the matchmaking fucked in Splatoon 3? I feel like it's fucked.

>>720131903
>inklings in oversized shirts and panties that don't indicate they're wearing any bottoms
holy moly that would have been cinematic

>>720130658 (OP)
They need to release it.

Unless they cut Salmon Run and don't replace it by something equally fun and PvE

>>720132314
Long shirt style and short shorts already has this effect.

Assuming it has new maps and a new single-player mode, the rest is gravy. They don't need to sell me on it.

Lewd costumes

>>720132494
i wasn't aware. i haven't looked at the cosmetics in the game before.

>>720132774
why are they waving around vibrators on stage

Breast slider.

>>720130658 (OP)
Taller more athletic squids

>>720133738
We have so much fanart, why use AI images?

>>720130658 (OP)
it needs to exist
i bought a switch just for splatoon 2 and i'll buy one just for splatoon 4 unless it's somehow dogshit

>>720130823
>>three maps per rotation
soulless
the map rotation is one of the best things about splatoon
>it forces you to play maps you "don't like" so you can learn to like it or give devs enough play data to make it better
>it allows you to make better decisions about your loadout since something being good for 3 maps is a lot less likely than something being good for 2
>it keeps things fresh

last season I reached s+44, lvl700 catalog lol

>>720130658 (OP)
dedicated servers
drop in drop out multiplayer
up to 24 players
custom maps

>drop in-drop out
>custom maps on console
>24 players
What the fuck is this tourist post, have you ever played splatoon?

>>720134920
>up to 24 players
for what reason lmao

>>720135018
>>custom maps on console
Custom maps are not unheard of on console. Definitely could work if they made it like Forge mode in the Bungie Halo games, letting players edit existing maps with props and structure pieces.

>>720135018
>ohhh poor nintendo dont make them change the game too much

>>720135449
Not impossible but given how ink works and almost entirely only on geometry instead of props, it would end up a nightmare for things not connecting and ink ending up under objects or not connecting properly for movement. without having a really strict grid system.

Even then Halo's gamemodes and structure is based around open ended longer games with far more players. Splatoon has the opposite, focusing on smaller games with tight time limits and no nonsense in between.
The entire game would need to change to accommodate it.
I'd like to see what a large scale game of turf war would be like but I can't see it happening for how much would need to change.

God I want to have tons of kids with squids

>>720137346
This, but octos.

>>720135958
I dont think it would be that complicated. Look at alterna which is basically made out of prefabs cobbled together.
Nintendo probably has a level editing tool similar to forgefor setting up the single player scenarios.

>>720130823
>three maps per rotation

This would at least increase the chances of getting 2 different maps.

>>720135075
6 player 4 way turfwar.

>>720137650
The process for those maps has layering dedicated to if you can or can't ink areas whilst also being precisely placed to avoid gaps. It's something you can't automate or do without some sort of dedicated dev program.

>>720137965
I dont believe it would be an engineering feat to add the ink layer automatically to a specific material or prefab.

I can think of similar systems that are used to automatically generate collision or pathfinding meshes.

>>720130658 (OP)
breast slider and low string bikini slider

>>720130658 (OP)
even if they made the sexiest splatoon game ever
like literally I'd get a boner every time I start the game up...
I still wouldn't have the money for a switch 2..... not for a bit anyawy.

>>720138757
Theoretically no, but you would have to manually toggle every single item to allow or disallow ink, this gets harder if you want a specific side of an object to have ink but not the rest.
>pathfinding
Automatic systems aren't perfect and almost always require the manual placement of nodes. Many of these only work on connected ground surfaces and need additional help for jumps or walls.
And then you might have sections where you want ai to do a specific thing like hold position or use a throwable in a specific direction, stuff that again is more complicated than just drag and drop.

Everything you say is a massive oversimplification of what's necessary.

>>720137737
that sounds like dogshit

>>720139558
No i think your overcomplicating it.
The object or material itself has the ink layer. Just like how in game there is a certain consistancy with un inkable surfaces.

I wasnt actually thinking of pathfinding for bots just how automatic pathfinding looks when visualized. Generating a mesh parallel to the surface.

>>720139558
i think youre an indian with no inner monologue

Squid sex

More Marie.

Splatoon x helldivers.
Needing to venture deep inland over a desert fighting some kind of cactus monsters that attack by spraying water.

meh, the gameplay of splatoon is played out at this point, the singleplayer stuff peaked with splatoon 2's octo expansion, and the multiplayer stuff peaked with 3 which was barely different from 2, i would never buy another game

Significantly improved matchmaking
Significantly improved maps
Removal of forced rank reset
Letter ranks replaced by power
Ranked modes without ranking (open still has you win/lose points so it doesn't count)
Not another shitty splatoon2-related dlc. Side Order is shit.

>>720142076
Co-op multiplayer is definitely the biggest area for innovation. Not saying I don't like Salmon Run but the IP has more to offer than just that

Give me a L4D one where we have to deliver eggs manually through a salmon infested map, and special salmons can be players if you allow it

:o

>>720130823
>>weekly content instead of seasonal

Not weekly, but before they would release small and big updates every month or two and that was best. I really hope they go back to that in the next game.

>>720130658 (OP)
>don't remove 90% of the content that's functional just to introduce it back in as a content drop
>pick and choose primary, secondary and special
>in alignment with above let me choose my weapon skin instead of it being tagged to a weapon kit
>clothing and abilities separated out, it's practically already this now but its asinine
>I saw custom maps earlier itt and I like that idea, at least bringing back shifty station from 2, that was cool to see a unique map for every splatfest

greater focus on thighs, midriffs, and groins

>>720142539
I just like exploring the world more.
Intentional or not splatoons setting and imaginary culture is really neat. And co-op modes/campaigns give us more opportunity to explore it.

Also

coom in the toon

>>720142381
>Significantly improved matchmaking
for that we have to go back in time and destroy ea games. luckily, team past won, so its not impossible

>>720130658 (OP)
There are two things I want to see:
1) Revamped map design. S3 maps felt claustrophobic and too reliant on a singular choke-point in the middle. I hope next game has maps similar to S1: they had more room to breathe and had very distinct identities between each other.
2) Ease the gear ability grind. I had fun making different load-outs in S3, but I wouldn't have bothered if it weren't for the Gear Seed Calculator. Ability chunks still felt too scarce for me to want to experiment with several setups.

I hope they do give a 3rd kit to the remaining weapons.
Another map for either mode would be nice too.

>>720141136
Please!

I know everyone hates side order but honestly i loved everything about it. I hope it has some kind of permanant legacy. The jellotons all have cool designs and the memverse world just looks neat.

Maybe 8 can pair up with smollusk and acht for an adventure.

Launch with multiple variants. Why the fuck do we always have to wait months for this shit? Also octo tits.

>>720145076
Conceptually it's there. I enjoyed how it played but it really needed a few more variants of enemies, stages and some daft modifies to alter how weapons work a bit more.

>>720145076
I just want a bigger tower or even an endless mode. It feels like just when my build is getting fun, it's over. Especially when I have to sacrifice actually playing a floor to visit the vending machine so I can actually max out my chips.
Also a hack that alters chip bias to make alternate builds easier

>>720130658 (OP)
dynamic anal circumference mechanics

I hope Raiders is good

>>720146020
More bosses, honestly. There doesnt seem to be much point in hiding the boss, when there is only 3, and its not like your items significantly affect the fights.

>>720130658 (OP)
Marie has been changed into a Giantess Squid for no reason and constantly must wear a skirt for no reason. Also fully climbable and textured legs with both tights physics, and models and textured internal vagina as well.

This has no effect on gameplay, or story.

>>720146515
I still think there are some secrets left to find in that mode. Nothing major. Maybe the right combination of chips gives you something.

Like i get that the ink color is controlled by your highest color and pattern by your second highest. But which chips result in each armor accesory im not sure.
