Video: Let's Splat ink everywhere in Splatoon - EGX 2014

Eurogamer:
"One of the hottest new games on the Wii U block is Splatoon, a multiplayer shooter based around splattering levels in paint/ink.

Whichever team covers the largest part of the map in ink, wins. Mixing this formula up is your ability to turn into a squid, which you must do in your team's own pools of ink in order to refill your gun. Being a squid also makes you move faster, up walls (if they're inked), under fences and through grating."

This game looks like a lot of fun.

I am more anxious to know the games resolution,frame speed and what anti-aliasing technique will be utilized.

And I swear, if only 8 out of 10 reviewers enjoy this game, to hell with Splatoon..

If you want those three things to all be great, I don't think Nintendo is for you. Having an unreal expectation of what their games are supposed to be is the number one mistake of uninformed gamers. Nintendo games are about fun.

They look ok at best, some look great. Most of the time they have amazing frame speed. all Nintendo games I have played recently run at a smooth 60 FPS. Wii U games are all at least 720P. Occasionally they reach 800 or 900 like in Mario Kart 8. But they do not utilize AA hardly at all in order to achieve the resolution and frame speed necessary.

I am willing to bet that this game, since it is a Nintendo game, will do the exact same thing. They are not trying to beat Call of Duty or Battle Field. If they were they would have made a serious FPS game based on some kind of warfare. You are a freaking child looking squid for god's sake.

They are offering a different spin on the shooter genre as a whole. That being the case, they do not need to beat the graphics that the PS4 and XB1 can pump out. They just need to provide a really fun experience and do it the way that Nintendo does it.

You can't compare the Graphics from the Wii U to the likes of PS4 and XB1 because there is no comparison. The other two are clearly better. But Nintendo makes up for it in spades when it comes to gameplay and entertainment factor.

Disagree if you will but I would like to point out that virtually all of the "Next Gen" games have only gotten about an 8 out of 10. Refusing to play a game because it got an 8 out of 10 will leave you missing out on a lot of amazing games. Decide for yourself if it is good and base it on what's fair to the developer and the hardware. Not on what others are doing.

I sincerely hope that's sarcasm...

After reading a PM he sent me, I am pretty sure it was. my fault and the internets fault for not picking up on it. Sarcasm gets lost in written word. Sorry about that Marloc_x. Another reminder to myself not to take things too serious at times.

Marloc _x forgot about a voice acted story lol. How are you going to play a game of any kind with out voice acting. Imagine foot ball without it. What about chess!
