Unlucky7 posted:That is what I think. The article said that someone said that they wanted to play SwSh with their Bayleef, Matsuda replied to that tweet in the positive, but then it turned out that Bayleef was cut so now everyone is accusing him of making a mean joke. Interesting. And also that does feel like a dark joke after everything that’s happened, though holy poo poo they are loving pixels and that does not excuse the harassment of another human being. Didn’t they have to cancel a prelaunch event because the fan rage in Japan had escalated so crazily they were afraid of something like that anime arsonist happening again? Looks like the official reason for the cancellation is “operational reasons” but pfft... I’d bet money that the real answer is no one in their right mind wants to deal with psychos like that face to face. I’d ask “are there really people out there so broken that they literally cannot imagine functioning in life without playing the newest mediocre entry in a virtual pet franchise marketed towards children without Forgettable Battle Monster #573858”, but I already know the answer.  What the gently caress happened to gaming?

I think the blame is probably on the person making the joke if they did it knowing that Bayleef is cut.

They deserve blame for that and criticism for the game’s many other issues. They deserve every bit of the poo poo-flinging they are getting for the PR nightmare they themselves created. However, they do NOT deserve death threats or to fear for their personal safety. It’s a video game. Bayleef didn’t come to that fan’s house and Razor Leaf his dog’s head off

I'm more worried about some of the game breaking bugs I've read about in discussions regarding playthroughs on the leaked ROMs. My hope is these are a form of soft DRM kinda like how hacked versions of original Spyro the Dragon were technically playable but your progress would constantly be lost or weird visual bugs would happen to try to deter you from continuing. Soul Silver had this so I'm reserving judgement until the game officially launches.

I read that post and some of those problems seem atrocious, like the popin. Someone was theorizing that they were originally developing the game for the 3DS with a topdown view and then had to rush to convert it to a 3D thing and that's why it's all over the place. Not sure how plausible that is but it seems like a good reason. My only point of comparison is BotW and if that post is accurate, S&S looks like poo poo comparatively.

you know, the games being a 3DS port does explain a lot of the issues. in light of that, it makes the price increase seem a little egregious, but seeing as I buy like, 4 big games a year, the price doesn't bother me

Yeah, see those kinds of bugs look like they could be caused by the 'soft DRM' I was talking about. Here's the explaination of the Playstation's DRM in regards to Spyro: Year of the Dragon (correction from earlier, I thought it was Original Spyro) if anyone is interested in that sort of thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GYSeXLr5sY

The fallout from that decision sparked another rumor that Game Freak has been using recycled 3D models of what older Pokemon will be available in order to cut down on production costs. However, a recent interview with Famitsu, originally reported on by Polygon, surfaced on social media and Reddit, disputing the rumor.

They didn't say they remade every model, but they basically used Business PR Talk to imply they did or at least reworked them a lot, and on top of that it was in Japanese, so that's why a ton of places came to that translation. Basically they were trying to half lie, which got translated into blatant lies.

I'm more and more glad the Animal Crossing team is taking their time. Sucks Game Freak didn't seem to adopt a "we want to do this right" mindset with SwSh.ArmyOfMidgets posted:Looks like, yeah, same models. A few were retouched a bit, like removing redundant triangles or smoothing out some parts, but for the vast majority it is the same models. A friend was saying people have been unwrapping the textures and finding those identical as well, but I don't exactly have a source, so take that with a grain of salt till someone posts proof.  But I can't say I have a ton of faith.
