Smashing or Smashed? The State of the Smash Scene

Sam Foxall from VGU writes: 'With the recent release of Super Smash Bros for Wii U, the Smash community has entered a weird transitional phase, as new players flood in to play the new game, old fans adapt and start breaking open Sm4sh while others continue playing previous installments, while denouncing Sm4sh as terrible and the end of all things.'

Not sure what to think, definitely looks interesting.

ravens52300d ago

Would like to see more. 🤔

Plague-Doctor27300d ago

LLL is targeting a 2024 release for PC and console. Hard to tell but looks sort of like The Division? Hope we can hear more on it soon. Interested to see how these first few AA/AAA games from Korean devs go

Vengeance1138300d ago

Easier just to say PC and PS5. Not coming to anything else.

Sonyslave3300d ago (Edited 300d ago )

Before the deal it was announce for pc and consoles lol and this is a old trailer from last month.

If you watch the trailer you'll notice the on screen prompts are PlayStation button symbols. There is no indication this is coming to anything other than PlayStation at this point.

Vengeance1138300d ago

Key word being "before", that was then, this is now. With the deal in place, count out other consoles, Sony's not going to publish games for other consoles.

@Einhander1972

They always reveal their games by using PlayStation button symbols. Doesn't mean anything.

Any game that uses a rival platform controller is exclusive /s

Did you read the title of the article?

Now you provide any evidence that these games are or ever were going to be on xbox.

Keep in mind while your searching that xbox barely even exists in Korea and that's just when compared to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles. If you think xbox underperforms in Europe take a look at Korea.

Isn't Hell Blade II running in UE5? Bit of a weird omission.

How did I not know Silent Hill is running on UE5?

I feel bad for Smash fans. Those guys have been trying to maintain the scene active for 20+ years and get nothing but hate from Nintendo.

RoseSapphire491d ago

Sakurai explains how he and Nintendo still don't understand how the internet works.

FTFY

Snookies12491d ago

Exactly, online play would be wonderful on Smash if Nintendo gave a crap about their online services. To be fair though, Nintendo's online offerings would be great if it were 15-20 years ago lol.

jambola491d ago

I've always said that Nintendo is either innovative and ahead of the curve
or 20 years behind, no in between

CrimsonWing69491d ago

I’m sorry, but if a game is MP then there’s no f*cking argument that can justify no online MP. What he says about competition being different from just playing with friends shows me how out of touch these people are.

It’s not until a new generation that understands things steps in to clean-house that we’ll see some evolution here.

Vanfernal491d ago

His argument is nonsensical. "You'd be limited to just playing people from your region". As opposed to being limited to playing people FROM YOUR COUCH!

CrimsonWing69491d ago

What I don’t get is how do you not have competition and experience the same issue if you have a friend that’s way better than you?

GoodGuy09491d ago

It's a big fighting game so online multiplayer is a must. Competitive smash is the only thing I see fun in these games anymore asides from the big character reveals, singleplayer is laughable and you ain't gunna have people over for couch gaming much.

If Nintendo makes a new smash, it needs a huge evolution for singleplayer/couch play to be enjoyable for me any more. But we all know they'll just do a deluxe edition for their next console lol. They really need to up their servers as well.

NotoriousWhiz491d ago (Edited 491d ago )

I can't imagine Nintendo producing a better smash game than ultimate. Roll it forward with a deluxe edition maybe with an extra character or two and call it a day.

Some other developers can try pushing platform fighters to the next level, because I don't think Nintendo is up to the task.

DarthZoolu490d ago

They already created a better smash brothers game than ultimate when they created melee

masterfox491d ago

he sounds more like is trying to justify Nintendo ineptitude to create a proper network infrastructure in order to Smash Brothers work properly online.
