If Overwatch is worth 60 dollars Splatoon 2 surely is.

I paid 35 dollars for Overwatch and that's probably how much I'd pay for this game. Though, I'm also kind of done with Overwatch, so I might not get this one at all.

No way they don't include a single player, I legit need shooting practice because of how different this game is from normal shooters to play.

And yeah single player is confirmed, it's set two years after the first campaign.

in the first one, they also had a useful test range so im sure this will return

Full price is a deal!

This is such a tiny preview, there will be much more value in the full game. Single player in the original was surprisingly fun, Ranked Battle modes are like twice as fun as Turf Wars, there will be dozens of guns, along with many more levels, and there's a whole aspect of mixing and matching clothes with different boosts to your character.

See Overwatch was a 40 dollar game, and only had multiplayer, and this game is going to have more maps at start than just 5 like originally, right? Plus it's going to have singleplayer. Seems fair to me. Not to mention splatfests/updates throughout the lifespan of the system most likely until they work on the third one.

I'd just like to add that there are a few different iPad charges floating around. There's a 10W and a 12W variant. Sounds like enojy is describing the 12W one.

Yeah I just checked all four of my iPad bricks (I collect them for some reason when ever I get a beat buy or Apple Store cert) and they say 12 watts. If there are 10watts they must be from the iPad 1 era or something.

My actual complaint about motion controls is that they're the only way to wave around metal boxes fast enough to hurt dudes in BotW, and it's tough to reliably do it horizontally with detached joycons and seems impossible when attached in handheld mode.

Chiming to say that this is completely untrue @ motion controls being the only way to wave boxes fast enough to hurt enemies. I used magnet to pick up things to trample enemies with like all the time with the normal controls. When I tested just now, the only real benefit I found with motion controls was you could get a some hits slightly faster from 0 momentum, but it's a pretty slight difference if you are playing smart. You can use the analogue sticks just fine.

Not an artist, huh? People who learn to draw entirely on anime end up with a lot of problems that are hard to shake off later.

If you're unhappy with analogies, consider that there's plenty of solid sources out there with proof that dual-stick users, on equal ground, get wrecked by mouse and keyboard users. Once you get used to them, the gyro controls gets a lot closer to mouse controls than the joysticks ever could.

i think comparing gyro to mouse is a bit silly, its really nothing like using a mouse at all on accuracy and not "better" than analogs, but people who dont have years of twitchy fps style aiming experience on analogs will probably get on a lot better with gyro and it will feel a lot better to them than just dual analogs which is obviously great! its always good when more people can enjoy something! :)

Gyro is more accurate than analog sticks for the same reason the mouse is more accurate than analog sticks; it's a 1:1 input and your crosshair will end up aiming at the same point if you bring the controller to the same position regardless of the path it takes. With a mouse or gyro, you're controlling the position directly, whereas with an analog stick, you're controlling the speed of the crosshair, and the position only indirectly, so it requires visual feedback to see where the crosshair is moving, which is a less accurate process.

Mouse is more accurate than gyro because you have a rigid surface to brace against instead of needing to wiggle your hands in the air.

The adapter that connects to the dock is the same one you can buy separately, it's just annoying to have to disconnect it from the dock and whatnot.

Is the Splatoon testfire seriously only at certain hours of the day? Come on Nintendo, just run this poo poo the whole loving weekend.

if you feel like gyro is more accurate for you because of these reasons thats really good and im glad you find it useful! but i played a decent chuck of the original splatoon as well as a bunch of vita games which had gyro support and it genuinely made no difference and i could do absolutely fine on just sticks! in fact i even preferred it! however i think its really good both options are available so everyone can use the playstyle they prefer :)

I wish Splatoon 2 test fire had a sandbox mode where I could dick around with the controls until I tweak them to where I'm comfortable and good with them because in the 2 hours I've played I've yet to get a good handle on the game mainly because I'm fighting against the controls.

of course though using sticks over gyro still will probably only work if you really seriously play a lot of console shooters and have a bunch of experience in them! i know ive said that already but i just want to make it clear because it seems like some people are confused about what im saying... i play a lot of fps/shooters, including stuff like maining pharah on overwatch (she uses a rocket launcher which involves lots of predictive shots so obviously using her a lot gives you a lot of practice at aiming on sticks without aim assist!) and it really only applies if you have the same amount of experience on sticks, otherwise you are probably better off with the gyro :)

well im top 3% in ps4 pharah players and play with aim assist off! but is saying that relevant here or just trying to one up someone for e-credit? i dont know why you're trying to make this some weird bragging contest or be hostile over someone having a preference for control schemes? doesnt seem very productive and like you are just trying to cause an argument over something thats really very minor when all im saying is stick only is very viable if thats what youve played a lot of! its good that both styles are accommodated and everyone should use whatever they feel works best for them, but if heavy stick players are having trouble or dont like the gyro they shouldnt let that put them off the game because stick only can also work! everyone can have fun!!

edit: ^^ noted, i'll stop! i just think people are misreading me and acting very hostile towards someone simply expressing a preference so i was just trying to soften up my posts in case it was my tone that was doing it!
