I'd be shocked if this game gets released early 2015.

Also I watched some doofus with a youtube channel talk about his first impression and somewhere in there he said it will have fully integrated voice chat, which is promising for this game.

I hope we can do custom ink colors


I'm psyched as hell. Calamari dudes!

I hope there is an canonical database of the squidgirl's extensive backstory so that this fan art won't be weird.

I'm perfectly fine without custom color ink, honestly.

I knew I was forgetting one.

I'd suggest neon booger green, but that'll probably be a default color even if there's no customizable ink. :v:

I think if we can't get custom ink colors, I'll settle for bright yellow and bright green. Pee vs Boogers.

From the sound of things this game isn't gonna have any kind of online local multiplayer? That's pretty lame. I mean one of the few advantages of the Wii U's ridiculous gamepad is that two people can comfortably play the same game together. I hope I'm wrong about this though.

This is wrong, there is local multiplayer

The demo was very fun, although I find myself thinking I would enjoy the game the most in short little 15-30 minute bursts similar to the beta. If it was $40 I'd pre-order but $60 I think I'll do a wait and see. Hopefully the retail version has plenty of content because that was a fun little beta.

I mean there is the single player campaign that looks a lot like Super Mario Galaxy

It could also have been a planned feature from the beginning. They could have hit a snag or something and instead of pushing the game back they wanted to keep on with the deadline and delay that feature. Since the DLC release is 3 months after release instead of more, Im more inclined to think its that.

If this old ad tons of people hated taught me anything is that the Squid-Kid commercial will over time only become more and more adored in retrospect.

Like seriously almost every baby gamer hated "Clean is better than dirty" back in the day.

.52 Gal looks like a weapon that sacrifices some coverage abilities for just pure killing power. With it's sub and special it strikes me as a weapon thats good at keeping territory more than reclaiming it.


The splash wall seems really situational right now, but I'm guessing it's very good in splatzones for just stopping the advance of the enemy team.

:speculate:

Bread Set Jettison

Yeah that weapon looks pretty cool. Its just a big ol' cannon. It has good range too, but it's sub doesnt seem all that good. Any subweapon that isn't some form of paint grenade though seems pretty lame meh so far.

It looks like theres gonna be a good variety of weapons, even within the 3 classes of weapons.

That whole loadout seems pretty enemy eliminating focused rather than paint spreading focused.

Oh definitely. The Jury is still out on weather or not that debuff grenade will be useful or not is all...


It definitely seemed to be pretty good at spreading paint though. You get nice big long lines of paint, easier than the few chargers I've seen.

E: specifically for those early game 'paint highways" useful for rushing the key parts of the maps.
