Super Mario Odyssey

Wasn't Miyamoto Russian?

I agree, it was excellent.

If that's OpenGL tutorial water then other devs aren't even passing the tutorial, I mean that's not the best water I've ever seen, that's Sea of Thieves but it's better than most games.

Where did Mario touch you?

I fucking wish.

Switch outputs BotW at 900p, doesn't it?

Well, Spider-Man is projected to earn shit all and has Pascal at the helm again, so maybe the movie department will finally force them to stop churning out shit and put effort into all departments.

Or, we could blame whitey some more.

Yeah, Switch outputs BotW at 900, but that was also a port by an external team, I'm just saying there's a fair amount of power in there, especially with Splatoon 2 both looking nicer than the original and then jumping up to 1080.

I mostly want Sony's games division to fuck off so I can get all those arbitrary third party exclusives on PC, but their film department is cancer too, thanks for reminding me.

...

Yes, video games are for kids.

I'm sorry you had to find out like this.

Not for the mature gam3r like myself.

I hunt all the cheevos on every new game Sony releases. After all, the PlayStation 4 is "4 the players" (get it?)
Honestly, I haven't played a single bad game released on the PS4. Hell, even shitty games that come out on the Xbone are better on the PS4. The crisp images make me laugh at all those poorfags on PC that can't even afford a dedicated gaming machine! How can they even compete against my 720p upscale at locked 30FPS?

Oh, and daily reminder (is that what people call it around here?) that the PS4Pro is incredibly for that future-gen 4K gaming (still not 60FPS, lol, but that's the dev's fault for not using Sony's technology properly!!) and that you filthy Xbone/PCfags will never, ever, ever get Bloodborne, one of, if not the greatest games ever released.

Galaxy was never good, this game looks great

It's a huge improvement just from the trailer alone

hah i probably wouldnt have caught that for years

jesus christ. well that reminds me, the very first "tanks" were called such because as they were being developed as a secret weapon they were said to be water tanks. so it sorta fits with the plumbing motif

TAKE ME NOW

Or maybe people are hyped for the first good looking game to come out in years.

How come Sony and Microsoft never really want to make 3D platformers? They are trying a bit now but this is the first time in years.

This. I hate Nu-tendo with a passion, but god fuck. Odyssey is just MUH DICK

...

Post Pauline

Galaxy is infuriating. How can such a well polished, beautiful game with great music make me so mad, get me so bored, and make me feel like I'm going through the motions? I really didn't have much fun with it, hell I think I have more fun with Sunshine despite how deeply, deeply flawed that game was on so many levels. The linearity of everything really killed my enjoyment.

The last two galaxy games is actually the main reason why I am looking forward to Odyssey. I hate to be a caricature of Holla Forums's hate but fuck man, I want to like Galaxy but something holds me back

Do not actually post Paulines

So looking at the gameplay shown I noticed that the rock formations seen in this scene don't actually match the rock formations seen in any of the other scenes, does that mean that there is a Water Kingdom, There are also a few either windows or shelves to the corner that sit above a doorway with a checkpoint flag, but the shelves are very reminiscent of ones found in Noki Bay on Isle Delfino, and to be honest even the colour scheme is reminiscent. A completely open and explorable Isle Delfino would be absolutely excellent.

user have you ever played a Mario game? Here's what's gonna happen

They follow this pattern like every game in some capacity.

I just realized that SMW doesn't have a desert tileset. Chocolate island is probably the closest, but it's only got like 3 outdoor levels and is generally a badlands theme

Have you even seen Super Mario Odyssey yet?

Are you being autistic on purpose?

Most of the level themes seem to be based on previous games in the series so I wouldn't be surprised if the water world was inspired/based on Sunshine
The big focus on the moon makes me think that the inevitable moon/space world will be full of Galaxy 1/2-esque designs

No since I have no plans to buy a switch because nogaems and limited availability

Suck my duck

Yeah, I've noticed that too, the Dinosaur land from Super Mario World, the hat one maybe it's a refernce to Super Mario 64, but it gives me Super Mario Land 2 vibes, even though it's nothing like that game, and I can't place the steam gardens one. The theme to Steam gardens doesn't really give us any insight either

Super Mario Odyssey looks really good.

Hat land seems like it could represent Odyssey itself, but yeah the wooded one is hard to nail down. It has collapsing girders, three "levels" to it, and generally represents an exploratory theme with the lower forest area, but that's still too vague to pinpoint

I want to see a factory world at some point

That's also my guess on hatland because it is where Cappy and possibly the Broodals appear to originate from. Considering that the game has sub levels I think a factory level is inside the thing that Steam Gardens is built onto, it just seems to fit especially with it having visible entry/exit points in the trailer and with the level coins being mechanical nuts.

galaxy sucked mate

You suck.

Rosaline was the death of Daisy

This was before Nintendo couldn't stop fucking putting her in every game.

I'm fairly certain that those are suppose to be Sakurajima daikon in SMB2.

Wrong

Odyssey seems to be taking the best from linear and open-world 3D Marios.

And nothing of value was lost.

FUCK YOU!

Rude.

don't worry, Rosalina will make it into Mario Odyssey as well as space kingdom, and Daisy will be retconned, Sarasaland is now Sand Kingdom, which is a real shame because the Calacas would have been really nice as her subjects.

Also the nu map is sort of shit in that it looks to be just ignoring all the cool shit like DK Island, Wario and other shit, and I'm pretty certain based on the Mushroom shaped Island that this is whatever planet Mario is from, I mean not that consistency in Mario is of any real value anyway.

Are you implying the Mushroom Kingdom exists in a normal planet with normal space and consistent rules? You really should play Super Mario Bros. 1, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World

I thought he was Canadian, eh.

This is such a viral marketing thread it's not even funny.
I only wonder whether op is doing it for free or not.

We just got a ton of new information and hundreds of hours of gameplay from E3.

Well by that logic, EVERY thread on Holla Forums is a viral marketing campaign.

Viral marketing is code for 'threads I personally disprove of, could a mod please delet this?"

Not entirely, because like I said that there isn't really any consistency, the mushroom kingdom exists clearly in many realities many of them false, but still true, it's not really important I kind of just would like to see definitive world with all the kingdoms, because that would just be cool as fuck.

Yeah man I got paid $20 for a few hours worth of work, damn this is effective marketing, it's not like it's possible I just like Mario, no I'm a paid shill by Nintendo spending hours to reach a few customers that were already interested in the product.

You probably need to use warp pipes to get to DK Island or Sarasaland

C'mon user.

I didn't mean *I*, myself want it deleted.

"Viral marketing is code for 'threads I personally disprove of, could a mod please delet this?"

C'moooooooon, user.

I mean the Odyssey's interior's floor space is roughly the same size as the footprint of the whole ship, so yeah.

DELET

yeah we're supposed to only talk about goobergayte. No game discussion allowed

Come on man, I'm the one autistic enough to notice the 25 metres part in the theme song and that the scene with the fish's rock formations are inconsistent with ones shown in every other world.

Oh, my bad.

There is nothing more pathetic than nintendo shills and nintendrones

Whatever you say, guy.

Goy*

You've proved yourself wrong.

Thanks.

Stay triggered, goon.

It's funny because you've derailed a legitimate vidya thread because you saw discussion of a game you dislike.

This isn't a legitimate vidya thread.
It was made by a skinwalker and it's purpose is to shill a product.
Next time spend at least a month on here so you don't sound like a fucking robot.

Well not when fags like you derail it with your 1st grade accusations of shilling, it isn't.

You guys really aren't helping…

Good point. Lets discuss vidya again.

So how many worlds do you think this game will have? I'm hoping for around 30.

64 had 15, Sunshine had 7, I'd wager this one is in the middle with around 10-12

The real question is which costumes will be in, since each one we've seen so far has been in a previous game

...

Lol I expect around 8, like every mario game

Dunno, but they've got a lot of places to draw from.

Well by that logic we've already seen over half the game in the trailers. I think 30 is actually a bit conservative, really.

Ah, I havn't really been paying too close attention to the trailers

I'm hoping there's recolor outfits like Luigi/Wario/Waluigi and maybe an inverted color scheme one

There's either 6 or 7 worlds we've seen and based on the official map they've shown I'm highly doubtful you will see more than that, I'm not really worried considering that the worlds are large, packed with content, have sub levels and alternate states

I may be a skinwalker but please do fuck off, I'm not a shill, I'm not telling anyone to buy any product, unless you want to support me on patreon

patreon.com/suckmydickyoudumbcuck

I really like the graphics of this game but for some reason it feels like every object in the game is "wet" or "humid" or something like that. Probably it's because the resolution is all over the place and there's plenty of liquid physics thanks to Spoon's engine, but it just feels really weird.
I believe this will be one of the few Must Buy for the Switch, don't really care about Zoldo but apparently everyone's loving the open-world (which is what I actually actively hated of OoT because it just padded the game).

If you're expecting a Zelda then skip BOTW. Base game was alright, better than most open-world games (movement isn't frustrating, has enough core Zelda mechanics to still be considered a Zelda) but still identifiably an open-world game. I'm waiting with belated breath for either that "extra story" to be good, or for them to Majora's Mask it and they make an entirely new game with the same engine.

She was never getting that slot in Smash Bros. Don't kid yourself.

Maybe some day they'll get off their fat asses and put Daisy's in as an alternate model, if they can apparently manage seven Koopalings as alt-costumes for Bowser Jr.

I don't get the obsession with repeating the same character at all. I always assumed that Mario games would be cooler and have to rely less on putting any story in their games if Mario just went to another Kingdom in each one of his games with a new set of characters in each one. The only thing any princess from the games have one up on each other is a better color pallet.

They've been doing that since Melee. Daisy is just Peach in yellow.

A WAIFU CANT BE A WAIFU WITHOUT STORY AND PERSONALITY

I'm not seeing the wet/humid thing, and I really don't remember the last game that really had some good even if simple liquid physics, apart from the same ole technique we saw in ES Obilvion, maybe Pikmin 3 which had waves that would bounce around the pool assuming my memory is correct, which it in general isn't.

Wouldn't surprise me if Odyssey beat Breath of the Wild and snagged that Goty award.

Aonuma admitted that that engine wasn't cheap, and Zelda came out day 1, the only thing that puts me off of a Majoras Mask Round 2 is that Nintendo are putting in effort to develop DLC for Breath of the Wild.

It must really suck to be a daisyfag.

This company needs to die before they stray too far

Let me remind you of paid online.

Not all DLC is bad, just like 99.999999999999% of it, Mario Kart 8 DLC, good, Splatoon DLC, good, Breath of the Wild DLC, not good, if the DLC allowed me to play as the 4 other Heroes, good. Monolith Soft/Int Sys DLC, dogshit.

The thing about Daisy is she doesn't have her own niche. Peach is the princess/ damsel in distress. Rosalina is this stoic magical mother godess figure. Pauline is the more down to Earth, every day Mario girl. Daisy is just another Peach, right down to her design being basically a palette swap.

Yes she does, she's the meek one.

Since when? What little characterisation the sports games give her always seem to make her the tomboyish one.

I haven't played the sports ones, oh well.

So you're going by Super Mario Land?

Therefore her niche is the tomboy.

No, just the shitposting about Daisy in general.

Not much to go by is it? She's still a princess, who looks almost exactly like Peach, whose only claim to fame is being kidnapped.

Kill yourself, shill.

Which one was your favorite, then?

my first thought is all the food courses in mario kart with smb2 thrown in.

I got you man, here's the best trailer at E3 2017

IT'S TIME TO JUMP UP IN THE AIR
JUMP UP DON'T BE SCARED
JUMP UP AND YOUR CARES WILL SOAR AWAY
AND IF THE DARK CLOUDS START TO SWIRL
DON'T FEAR, DON'T SHED A TEAR CAUSE
I'LL BE YOUR 1-UP GIRL

But user, she's described as a "tomboy."

...

...

Inb4 Seth MacFarlane is in the game too
That would be weird

why live

Peach needs to take responsibility for her kids and Marry bowser already.

I really hope they make Pauline Mario's girlfriend.

...

The last time they got married the fucking universe nearly ended.

Thank you friend. I always unironically liked her design since Donkey Kong 94 for it's simplicity.

Sunshine I complain and moan about all the time with it's baffling design choices and how the Hover Nozzle ruins everything but it's actually probably my favorite 3D Mario all the same. I still just complain about all the stupid shit, like how it was too much of a coin fetch quest. For me Galaxy is the opposite where it does away with a lot of the bullshit and adds a lot of polish and yet it's linear structure makes the entire experience a lot less fun for me.

The kids themselves are pretty great though

...

...

What exactly is stopping him from suffocating in the 3rd one? There's nothing supporting him.

So you admit he's right?

The wand is magic
Or maybe he has koopa buddies watching him offscreen

It's just the kind of questions that need asking in porn, someone has to do it.

Ew

So what IS a 1-up girl, anyway?

were there more than 2 galaxy games?

A girl who cheers you up when you're feeling down

There were only 2 galaxy games, then there was Mario 3D World which game me the same empty feeling.

?

It's a girl you can collect so that you come back after you die. Pretty fucking obvious, really.

...

Kill yourself.

kill youself

kill yourself

I WANNA 1-UP BITCH
(1-Up Bitch)
I NEED A 1-UP BITCH YO
(1-Up Bitch)
I WANNA 1-UP BOOTY WITH MY 1-UP BITCH I NEED A 1-UP BITCH I WANNA 1-UP BITCH

Also that is cuck porn, isn't it? There's a white version of that, you know.

why is his hair a different color and texture than his mustache

Hating niggers is perfectly fine, but misusing cuck makes you look like halfchan retards.

Well, I guess it is POV. I'll let it slide.

POV more like POZ

...

The guy has more mental breakdowns than Sunni does, fuck him. I hate how he injects himself all over especially with Peach, damn faggot.>>12855177

Does -8 have some kind of transracial thing going on or does he have a fantasy about cucking people? Or is it both?
He makes good stuff, but -8 seems like kind of an asshole.

I have brown hair and a red moustache/beard, it absolutely happens.

Minus8 is overrated
Shygirls are terrible, too

Don't even joke about that you motherfucker.

I'd rather look at a Yoshi OC with hair than those

Am I the only one who wants to see serious Mario more often? Not that I want him to be edgy or anything but serious Mario always seemed bad ass to me.

You take that back.

They're a dumb anthro meme that clashes with every game's art style.

Imagine an anthro Yoshi or Bowser. Just awful

>>>/oven/

Well I guess I know what to post from now on to piss off Holla Forums.

alright, youre coming with me
>>>/gulag/

Mario's fine the way he is. Sonic on the other hand is completely fucked, they had this whole shonen anime thing going for him and it worked well, until Unleashed and Colors fucked everything up in terms of character development and story. I also hate how they made Knuckles into a retard

Sonic's coming back faggot, you wait
He's gonna come back again for like the third time

Wendy best princess

reminder that peach seriously question if Jr was her's or not and bowser could have been shocked that the lack of peach in Jr.'s life made him outright consider her to not be his mother.

They are bringing back the Sonic we know and love for Forces, Mario won't be able to compete.

u wot?

Not with Roger Craig Smith they're not.

Here is what I think about Odyssey; it has potential but that potential can easily go into the shitter. 64 was incredible, Sunshine was still fun, but once Galaxy hit, the series became sickeningly railroaded. Everything from galaxy 1 was a railroad; you were not permitted to veer off the primary objective. Galaxy 2 was even worse. the 3D land/world games were atrocious with the forced time limit that encourages stupid gameplay of "just run forward".

If this game abolishes the time limit and goes back to being able to do things freely in a stage outside of a set "mission", I will see this as being the first mario game I'd actually bother owning since Sunshine.

I get what you mean but I legitimately think that all the 3D mario games are really good.
Just because Galaxy, Land and World are more linear doesn't make them automatically bad. If anything their level design gets even better because of it.

64 and Sunshine (and hopefully Odyssey) shine for the freedom, movement and Sandboxing.
The others are good because of freshness, level design and sheer content in them.
Just my two cents

...

I'm not saying that Galaxy 1 and 2 are poorly made, but that they fell back into what "new" super mario bros was doing instead of the free, open world that 64 and SUnshine had.

For boasting the title of Galaxy, both of those felt incredibly small. Just the lobby of Isle Delphino and the castle grounds of 64 were wonderful to explore (with rewards for doing so), but that is sorely missing in the galaxy games and moreso in the 3d world/land games, and while they are still solid, feel more forced in a "go to objective or die" manner, which I'm not too fond of.

That's understandable.
Different games for different people.

I think Nintendo should do one linear game and one open world game per console honestly, so everybody gets at least one thing they like.

YOU KNOW WE'RE ALL SUPER STARS
WE'RE THE ONES THAT MADE IT THIS FAR

IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ASLEEP. MY EYES ARE OPEN NOW

FUCKING YES. SHYGIRLS ARE KNOWYOURMEME LEVELS OF SHITTY. GOD FUCK. FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT
MINUS 8 IS A FUCKING HAAAACK!!!

Well from what was shown off during the Treehouse livestream, the game has no time limit and is far from railroaded.

This one line made me feel.

While I don't agree with you on Shygirls, I can certainly agree that minus 8's art is trash. The proportions are thinner than spaghetti and the movement is unnervingly herky jerk. It's like he's never seen a human before.

well no kidding. 3d land and world were meant to be a throwback.

Why does no one ever consider the possibility that Bowser raped Peach?

I still think the stork explanation is the best interpretation

I like Super Mario Odyssey in concept, but there's two specific things I want out of it.

I know Nintendo is capable of it and this doesn't seem like Sunshine where they ran out of time and/or money. However, the desert area seems to have a problem where you have platforming zones and deserts of nothing you're supposed to ride a Jaxi around on. Of what we've seen so far, only the city absolutely doesn't have this problem. The other areas might, so I'd be a little worried. At the very least I'd like Mario's basic movement to be fun, which leads me to my next problem.

Mario's basic moveset, while better than anything post-Galaxy, appears slightly worse than what he had in 64 and Sunshine. I could be wrong with this, but I'm not hopeful. However, the cap, as a platforming/action element definitely adds to the skill ceiling while, as Matthew Mitosis put it in his Sunshine review, "lowering the skill floor" only a little bit. With the CAPture mechanic, this opens up a lot of new opportunities. One brief segment of gameplay I saw in the desert area showed a moon on top of a gate. It wasn't collected, to my knowledge, but when I saw Bullet Bills later on in the stage I realized I could have captured one to navigate out there (if it didn't blow up somehow). While I'm not sure if that was the intended way to get it, the fact that I thought of that anyway means that there's either options of really good telegraphing by the designers. Either way, I should watch more videos on it, I'll probably play this eventually anyway.

After playing Mario games exclusively through my childhood, Galaxy was the first I didn't bother purchasing. Something about those games looked so cheap and infantilizing. However, I did end up buying a Wii U just to play Mario 3D World due to the beautiful art style, only to realize I'm just watching a non-interactive 3D movie, and stop playing.

It seems like Nintendo has realized how linearity can fuck up a good game, and even though their are some really dumb things about it (like having huge floating tutorial explanations every few minutes of gameplay,), it still looks good enough to buy.

I'm hoping that the different characters you take over will add some difficulties to adjust to the different host's controls, as opposed to just mastering Mario's moves through the game. From what I've seen, the complexity of Odyssey's levels would make scaling them with the same controls as Mario 64 a lot harder. But I agree, if Nintendo screws this one up, it will be in the difficulty.

I think Mario Odyssey looks pretty good but I'm not buying a Switch just to play one or two games.

...
