Guess if a silly tweet agrees with you you must give up the belief. Can't believe anything as a result.

Blockhouse posted:"Increase the studio's size" is also not a magic bullet to game dev problems. First, you have to actually have enough qualified people to hire when you're trying to staff up, and then you need competent managers for those teams because nothing will kill a development process faster than poor communication and huge spread-out groups of people who have no idea what anyone else is doing, and then you're stuck with the third resource beyond money and people - time. Games choke to death on these problems all the time - there's an article on Kotaku about Star Wars 1313 slowly dying for five years because of a situation exactly like that. OP also said "Let Pokemon take a longer development cycle" and also observed that patching is a thing which, contrary to Japan's understanding, does exist. Sure, it's not purely a case of more money = bigger gaem, but I'm reasonably confident in claiming Nintendo has both the money needed, but also the cachet to attract whoever they want, as well as the general management and organizational experience and talent to keep everything running smoothly. Like, working for Ninty/GF has to be the reason plenty of people got into dev and programming, they can afford to pay them, and they know how to handle big projects. It's too late now of course, but if they'd actually started planning for a larger team properly, there's not really any dev out there who would be better able to run it all smoothly better than Big N.

ArmyOfMidgets posted:That is a fair point, it would not magically fix things and indeed it would be a move that would take a lot of time and resources. I don't disagree with this position, but I can also see where Game Freak is coming from on this with the idea that a Pokemon game should be about catching new Pokemon first and foremost, which I have to imagine is the line of thinking that lead to this. I guess the main thing is we really don't know exactly why Sword and Shield's development came to the point where this decision had to be made, but I doubt the decision was made lightly.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:They reused those too. I compared Snorlax, Butterfree, Rhydon, and Golurk to the footage from last week's direct. They finally found a place for the unused walking animations. It's one thing to have the animations, it's another one to implement that poo poo in real-time and write up behaviors for however many Galar Pokmon there are and whatever dumb feature that lets you interact with your Pokemon they might add in this time around - there's always some. What I'm saying is that people are coming with idiotic and simplistic arguments from both sides, and using incomplete information too.

I know this isn't why most people are upset with this change, but I honestly think the subset of players that feel the same way as me is quite large, so let me put my opinion here. I don't really care about using my favorite Pokemon in every game. Honestly I don't even buy/play the games, and when I've played I never cared about using any particular things. What I care about is that the theoretical Ubers/OU/UU/etc format that results from having the list of Pokemon actually available in Sword/Shield is going to be very different from the theoretical one with all Pokemon. Smogon guaranteed will focus on what's actually possible in game as their primary format, and will likely run theoretical formats with all Pokemon on the side. It will fragment the playerbase. Also, even if people would prefer a format with all Pokemon available, it really doesn't feel right without any actual backing of "this is theoretically possible on a cart." It's honestly a MASSIVE blow to that aspect of the game and it honestly ruins Pokemon for me. Not that Nintendo cares because I'm not really even a customer, but that's how I feel.

I agree it's techically possible. I have no idea how the gently caress their engine actually works, or what features we still haven't seen, or what their plans for Home actually are, so I'unno if they could've actually done it in these circumstances. Japanese developers are notorious for badly explaining their decisions and abiding by very dumb ones because they don't wanna change poo poo tho so you know what, sure, whatever, dump on Game Freak all you want because we're probably not ever gonna get a decent answer other than a face-saving "oh it's ~our vision~"

This is happening because it's a pillar of the holiday release schedule (Nintendo has basically nothing of its own in November otherwise), and because there's a whole bunch of other things that coincide with it like the anime, the TCG, tie in manga, so on and so forth. It's absolutely the release schedule and not GF being incompetent or lazy.

But one of the most limiting part of game development is time, especially if you’re dedicated to releasing a game annually.

tbf I don't think anyone has said "lazy" because it's 2019 and hopefully we're all cognizant of the constant grinding overworking shithell game developers live in it's mainly just been "dumb" which is much more fair even if I don't agree

It's absolutely the release schedule and not GF being incompetent or lazy. This is it. A new Pokémon generation is a massive franchise undertaking with tons of moving parts and connected media. It’s hard to delay a mainline Pokémon game not just because it’s Nintendo’s holiday release every year, but also because it’s a humongous coordinating effort. It’s easier to delay, say, Three Houses by a year when it wasn’t a flagship franchise and the only corresponding media releases are an internally developed gatcha and a Japan exclusive, hardcore fan targeting TCG. Pokémon, meanwhile, is a true international multimedia franchise with a ton of moving parts and plans. So this decision sucks but I’m positive the real reason is that Game Freak, which is still a very small studio considering it pumps out a game a year, didn’t properly upsize its staff and got really delayed. Which wouldn’t be the first time.

You guys realize you’re judging animations and models from trailers of a game that is still 5 months away right? Not to mention we’ve seen very little of all the possible animations in game.
