Hmmmmmmmm

I love how the new game looks. Just needs more prominent shapes in the grass but other than that it's gorgeous.

Idk why but the new game looks empty. The visual style reminds me of Unreal Engine fangames.

hopefully thatll be addressed with the delay

that's why it looks better it feels more complicated
and in some ways human

This looks like a piece of shit. Look at the actual video and not screenshots.

Its a basic island with nothing on it. You need to build stuff.

>deserted island is empty

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Game is about making the island into a populated village genius

I haven't touched or cared about AC since the gamecube, god damn does AC switch look good.

It's just me, or everything looks like plastic figurines?

It's almost like...... almost like................... like the point of the game is to build a village or something...................................whoa.........

this it's so colorful it's uncomfortable to look at they should lower the visual brightness and increase contrast

I think it looks like ANIMAL FUCKING CROSSING and that's all that matters. I don't know why you people literally /always/ have to find shit to complain about.

For real I didn't know that. They showed the trailer and I was like "ok this is the beta that's why it looks empty". They didn't make it clear in the trailer.

it is 10 months from release and graphical improvements are generally some of the last things that go into games, so i wouldnt be worried unless it still looks like this by next year

Fucking finally my island is gonna look so nice

Don't get me wrong I love AC, I just found the visual reminder me of unreal engine games a bit.

The triangular grass texture that's become famous in Animal Crossing is barely present on the grass in New Horizons, which is a little disappointing

Have you never played a fucking animal crossing game ever?

why does Nintendo do this shit? how haven't they been sued for false advertisement?

hold me bros
how and why did they make it look so good

Because they tell you that the game is still in development and subject to change.

I kind of hope that you can make paint to paint your house in a similar manner instead of hoping they have your color of roof in the store

It's everywhere. There are patches of it everywhere.

>monstrosity
Fuck you, the Eixample is amazing, the blocks are lush and easily navigable.

i wish they hadn't decided to make the colors so desaturated

Dumbass.

because the visuals actually improved?

>that one stripe of grass texture
what's the deal here guys? I want that everywhere, think you have to put it down?
Or maybe you mow it or something to make the flat grass

>rolling world
>equipment still takes up inventory space
Paving system is nice, and the drop in drop out multiplayer could be used for pack mules, making inventory space less of a premium. Still disappointed.

Who the fuck would sue them for IMPROVING the graphics?

That picture shows in improvement in the release version though. Better textures and shadows. You missed the point of that post.

I'll still fucking buy it.

I don't know what it is, but the text box really rubs me the wrong way. New Leaf's had so much character, with a better font and less plain background.

The textures are patchy. We've only seen the southern part of the island, the northern part looks like it may be elevated or unique based on the grid map.

I can never get a straight answer from you faggots besides "w-well the original had it, it just FEELS better"
being able to see where you're going is absolutely a superior system

I've never played an Animal Crossing game but have recently bought a switch. Can I physically remove undesirables be they player characters or NPCs?

I unironically don't blame you. I think that trailer was pretty bad and gives a terrible impression of the game, the Treehouse stream helped a little but I still have no idea what they're doing.
Still, I'm still confidently hyped for this game. I think the game has a shit ton if features they haven't even glossed over.

I hope there are multiple varieties of path and not just the dirt. Give me some brick or cobblestones.

Ah I see, hmm
could use some ground clutter, I'd love to have bushes like in PG and the round dirt patches

The floor and wallpaper looks fucking beautiful in this image. Holy shit look at the wood.

There is realistically no inventory issues because who the fuck runs around with more than three tools tops? fishing/bug net for rare spawns, and then slingshot for gifts. Beginning of the day you might bring out the shovel to get all the fossils or w/e, and you might bring out the axe when you're landscaping. But you're not really just jogging around town with the watering can and the shovel and the axe and a fishing rod etc.

The only things it has in common with Pocket Camp are crafting and outside furniture.

why is it so square though lol

who's gonna move in Yea Forums town with me?

this really is a big improvement, how can we voice our concern?
Need grass texture too

the whole curvature thing where you can actually see how tiny the world is or whatever the effect is...is stupid as fuck.
Somehow it entirely destroys any feeling of getting lost in a virtual world is completely obliterates any desire I have to play this. Its a very weird choice for a sandbox game. It creates a sort of artifice that is always there when playing a sandbox game but it somehow makes it feel thrown in your face.

I don't know how to describe it better.

Yeah, everything is the same volume. It's going to look blaring on a TV.

t. filthy communist. not surprised since spaniards are commie cocksuckers

This game looks fucking amazing. I think it takes the eye of a game designer to see the how well made it all is. It's not that easy to make a game like this, that's why no one has ever done it.

Bottom looks better though

Because it still uses a tile system

they could change the models to be more natural looking within the square by using different one's depending on what surround it

I don't like how zoomed in it is, hopefully that's changed.

Nobody can be this blind.

Considering it seems like you only craft at the bench that's in your house I don't really see an issue. It's not different from going fishing with the rod in your hand and bringing back 20 fish. Now I'll go chopping with an axe in my hand and bring back 20 stacks of wood.

Do you mean they could change the grass models to fit a more circular or natural form? Yeah, I guess. I don't think it's a big deal either way. Still looks nice.

can i build a concentration camp in it? thats all that matters

The only "new tool" we've even seen was that silly water jumping pole.

I never said it did. There's a difference between "stylized" and "minimalistic", it's not black and white between realism and minimalism.

How much you enjoy animal crossing is proportional to how much your hate your life. It's escapism.

ALRIGHT user, we get it, fucking hell. It doesn't look as good as the MK8 tracks.

okay. that's not how AC looks.

Animal Crossing is the one series that really illustrates all the reasons Nintendo has sucked so much ass since the Gamecube. It has so much potential but what they've been doing is essentially remaking the same game over and over again for different systems.

>He doesn't want a city with actual things to do.
I bet you don't even want the NES games back, faggot.

for the same reason you can fit a dresser in your pockets

Wild world, city folk and new leaf

Sadly.

Never played Animal Crossing before. Looks kinda cute.

seems like it, given you can make paths manually
there were examples of uncraftable furniture in the treehouse segment

except in writing.
The NoA TLs for the first game were too good, when the literal TLs finally won over it was all downhill.

Considering that you can make your own paths, probably. Either that or we're getting another nuclear wasteland like city folk

I agree there.

You really have to start from scratch in this game? I've never played AC before but it seemed cool how there was already a town when you started out.

Dont like crafting systems.
Do like some form of progression that isnt just collecting things.
Do like more customizable building.

I'm not a huge fan of animal crossing but I'll probably get this, at least after more info is revealed.

Something just feels missing or empty when I look at this. It's too blended, so the empty space looks uninteresting.

the sky is literally fucking overcast you moron

if anything it would be darker

You've still got quite a while. Try emulating an older one.

I like the idea of Founding a town but the game makes it seem more like just an island resort that you rented.
I don't like that.

comfy

could use a bridge to the right, a beach chair and umbrella, and some shells scattered about. Maybe a sandcastle. All of which I imagine are possible.

>the game makes it seem more like just an island resort that you rented
how so?

>delayed
Good. Only good developers delay games in the current cashgrab ecosystem.

The intro trailer. Says you just purchased a resort package from Tom Nook.

>Nintendo won't ever do something that carefully crafted for a full game again
People have been saying shit like that for years, way before MK8 (or its DLC) were even a thing yet. Relax. This is the equivalent of "Nintendo will turn bankrupt/third party any year now!" There are plenty of soulless things they pump out, so not everything is perfect, but there are still plenty of carefully crafted things they make

The map is also tiny as fuck.
It's smaller than a New Leaf town.

>That slight hint of fur
Oh my fucking GOD, this game is gonna be so cute.

how do you know? That would kind of suck, I mean the only way to make it not feel like an island resort would be to make it have a big map. Though I haven't seen the treehouse I probably wouldn't think they would use a full map for that unless they showed a tiny map and said "this is the full size map"

That's objectively not true. This map is 6x6 acres. The outer tiles are mostly water sure, but that still leaves a 5x5 acre map at least. For reference, City Folk was 5x5, New Leaf was 4x5, WW was 4x4, and the original game for the N64/GC was a whopping 5x6. IF you were to count water acrest, it's bigger than Pouplation Growing.

Water grandpa is gonna be so thrilled.
Too bad we won't know since Miiverse is ded.

Just from watching the treehouse.
The island map shown is incredibly small, and they reinforce that you're just there to help build an island resort.
It's just a playground like Pocket Camp. Not a legitimate town.
What an awful setting.

I am so going to live in those highlands, and cover everything in trees

proofs
give me the times in the stream

like I said, they might not be using a full map in order to demo the game more effectively. Unless they outright state it the map might be bigger than it is now.

inb4 isabelle shows up in a one piece swimsuit when she reads about how lovely your island has become

I feel like there's still a lot more to this game that we haven't been told yet. It seems too early to write off the game just yet based on what we've seen.

Literally the first section when Tom Nook is talking and after that.

link the "It is not a real town" part

Beaches aren't aesthetically pleasing to have houses on (makes no sense putting a house in sand) so for me it's more like 4x4

:33

They’ll probably change it like they did with New Leaf

>all these obnoxious faggots spamming instead of just discussing stuff you'd fix, add, like, and dislike
When did Animal Crossing threads become this infested? What did it to do deserve that?

user just look at your picture, tom nook's place almost cover an acre

It literally got announced today, things will normalize.

I think it's pretty obvious that what we're shown isn't everything the game has, there's no shops. Clearly there'll be some means of major renovation, along with the terraforming that was mentioned.

>Chore Simulator 2020 is going to be GOTY

OH NO NO NO NO NO

It's also empty if you watched the gameplay. Implying that it will eventually be filled with somehting, probably shops when you unlock them.

Has anyone done some comparisons based on the gameplay footage from E3? Might be able to come up with a more accurate ratio. I'd like to see how moving from point A to point B is reflected on the map.

>Actually arguing over AC graphics
May as well make a thread about Farmville

He's a klansman

You mean the NES that was in the version without a city?

I'm slowly warming up to the game a little the more I think about it, but holy fucking shit I hope that Nook Miles don't end up being MTX and that the shop menus aren't a permanant thing.

What's with all the hate towards resource gathering?
If anything, it adds a lot more to the game since the economy is now more complex than "just catch bugs to buy everything".

Tbh I wouldn’t mind micro transactions, building massive golden thrones to lord over the free to play peasants.

Yeah its all good. It looks to be the size of town square, so I imagine important events will happen there too? Who knows.

they should have shown a more developed town, they only showed little clips which besides it looking nice so far in dev i hardly know anything about this game for certain.

I want him to play outside again.

LET ME DATE THE ANIMALS AAAAAA

>that still leaves a 5x5 acre map at least
user. look at the map. only 4x4 is fully land. the border acres are at least half water, sometimes 3/4 water. You forgot to subtract one from *each* side.

this is 4.5x4.5 at best. It's small.

not happening outside of chilling at their houses.

Did they talk about the interactions at all? Can we date the villagers yet?

well we saw that the full size of that Nook square is smaller than the screen, so extrapolating from that my professional verdict is that the map is FUCKING TINY

>terraforming that was mentioned

uhh source?

Honestly this could be the best AC game or the worst, the concept could be golden if done correctly but will drag down everything people loved about the series if they don't. I trust Nogami but he is playing his cards way to damn close to his chest for this game, hopefully there'll be more info in the next two days of streams.

Imagine being this much of a beta that you want to pay extra money in a $60 game to taunt people who aren't retards.

That's pretty nice.

I see what you mean man, but even 4x4 isn't the end of the fucking world. Wild World is regarded as one of the better AC games and that is 4x4 and fucking flat. And who knows if expansion exists, there could be terraforming options in the late game.

he's talking out his ass. probably got the pathmaking feature mixed up somehow.

The villagers and that sweater have a slight fuzziness to them that looks nice. Almost like yoshi's crafted world but not as pronounced, more detailed than the previous games.

>Recruiter
So basically Tom Nook plays the role of Isabelle, at least in regards to the public works. Get him to recruit a special NPC to set up shop on your island. That's actually an important feature we didn't know about till now, Isabelle or not.

Why is it that this game does the desaturated, low-contrast style well, but botw and the new luigi's mansion look muddy and flat as fuck?

Yeah, they've got almost a full year to add/change things.
As it seems like the basics of the game are in a good spot. Assuming that was all actually live footage in the treehouse.

That has been a thing since New Leaf.

>i hardly know anything about this game for certain.

That's kinda the point for all these trailers. Show just enough and then let fans go wild with speculation and hyping themselves up.

>inb4 half of Yea Forums makes the main road on the minimap look like a giant swastika

Because it doesn't, even remotely.

I'd rather have Tom Nook fill that role than Isabelle, I like Isabelle and all but Tom Nook is the better character and honestly would be a better mascot

this really shows that they should have shown some more developed towns, they literally showed us the start of the game and thats it so all i walked away with is ok lol i guess theres crafting and i guess it looks nice.

It's the lack of textures. The grass only has the iconic triangle pattern in small patches.

I hope they fill out textures and make it maximum cozy by launch

Opossums are literal niggers who won’t stop trying to sneak into my garage.
If I never saw one living before I’d probably think they were cute, but IRL they’re fucking annoying and nasty fuckers.

wait this is from new horizon?? Looks comfy as fuck. Why is everyone complaining? You get to make it as comfy as you want it.

Can't wait to play this with some warm hot cocoa, wrapped in a blanket on a cold snowy Winter's day.

Oh shit, I just noticed that she has actual hooves. We movie art style now.

>toolbox
I hope neighbors can change their furniture ans layout in this game.

Mostly because they only showed the bare-ass flat green blank slate of the start of the game. Hopefully they show some slightly later-game stuff at the next two Treehouse showcases.

I feel like it's a "cart before the horse" situation. The other games establish the setting first and then the features from the setting, but in this case it seems the entire game is based on the feature of town-building without establishing the setting.

I wouldn’t even be surprised

This. The original theme of AC was about being a normal person moving in to an established community. They've completely stomped on this vision since NL.

I looked at the video and found that the nook area is about 8x9 tiles. With some paint skills, I have found that the map is about 81x72 tiles large

Attached: nook X nook.png (772x593, 271K)

I absolutely agree with you, and I think this setting CAN work but I feel that the delayed development is because they were thinking too hard about what features they wanted instead of developing linearly, so they have to keep going back and fixing this.

Fucking disgusting. I hope she gets some shitty minor role so we never have to use her

>traps you on an isle he secretly owns and makes you pay out the ass for each tile

>Not one mention of amiibo or Pocket Camp
This game has surpassed my expectations already.

This doubly so because of the build ur own fucking town mentality, i mean showing someone a fresh start in new leaf would be boring to this looks even worse though because the game wants u too build it up.

>rolling log comes back
>people complain about it
Are you actually trying to find things to complain about? Do you have nothing else to do?

It's just going to be there so you can have more access to crafting.

I dislike that building is forced now. I tolerated the option in New Leaf because it was optional and a lot of players enjoyed it, but making it obligatory from the word go unless you want a barren shithole kind of sucks.

reminder the game's still 9 months until it's out, they'll give a deeper look in another direct

They're most likely going to show us the endgame potential when we're closer to release, but I feel like they flubbed up the initial announcement by focusing on how empty the base town looks.

It's mostly a matter of lighting and textures. I'm not sure if developers will improve on the game to actually match the MK8 track, but it's certainly doable with what we've seen so far.

And the Japanese title, "atsumare doubutsu no mori" has a little palm tree in the logo.
It's over, senpaitachi.

Wtf the rolling world is charming

I was referring to the neighbors toolbox. I'm hoping it implicates that they can change their decor as well (within limits of their house's theme).

Are those the standard clothes for those villagers or am I seeing them actually change their outfit according to weather?

lol

I found this with my google-fu:

Wild World: 4096 tiles
New Leaf: 5120 tiles
City Folk: 6400 tiles
N64 and Gamecube games:7680 tiles

so if your estimate is close, we're at ~5,832 tiles for New Horizons. Underwhelming given the hardware capability. I feel like GCN sized town would have been reasonable.

>Only slightly bigger than NL

Are you fucking serious? That sucks.

>Minecraft invented resources
>every game with crafting is minecraft
Play some other games you fucking casuals.

That's because the Japanese title of the series is Animal Forest. The tree is thematic.

Are people just in on a doomposting meme or some shit? The new AC looked fine, especially considering it's still got another 10 months till it's out.

this also illustrates something that has been irritating me all day: what's up with the god damn river? It splits - river bifurcation is not typical at all. Where it does it come from? Rivers never flow ocean to ocean.

Players can only come into your village usually if you allow them to in the first time.

Yes, and palm trees are tropical island trees.
Because the game takes place entirely on an island.
There will be no choice of location.

I can kind of understand the need for a smaller island if you can place an object on each and every square. But it is still disappointing.

What would you do if you were in that situation, Yea Forums?

Damn. I would say to bitch at Ninty for bigger islands (it worked for Mario Maker 2 online with friends), but the majority of people don't seem to care.

top = soul
bottom = soulless

I would fuck the SHIT out of that fluorescent deer

Stick around, enjoy some coffee and pleasant conversation, and see where things went from there.

it feels like every single animal crossing game gets more and more bright and colorful, it's getting a tad hard to even look at because it is SO bright.

Fuck crafting

Why

Now I understand the reply chain. Yes, there's no doubt it's nothing but a deserted island, but we'll no doubt be able to connect to another island or something. Interconnectedness seems to be a key theme here, and allowing 8 players on a relatively small island would be silly if you couldn't travel between them freely.

I would hang around for a bit, probably ask her to play a bit, then fuck her senseless

Rolling log is disappointing but it looks neat otherwise. I hope they make villager dialogue not ass like it was in New Leaf.

>Animal Crossing comes out with a delay and some questionable aspects
>Luigi's Mansion 3 turns out to be fucking great
I honestly didn't expect it.

I am counting 11 wide.

>I would fuck the SHIT out of that fluorescent deer
that's about the response i think everyone was expecting.

>Obtaining items is more complex than "catch island bugs ad infinitum"
>This is a bad thing
I honestly don't get the hate for the crafting system aside from "Games I don't like have crafting so that means crafting is universally bad as a concept".

I would ask on how many humans she's seen before, as they seem to be rare in this universe

You can do it with just one hole but you've got to line it up perfectly, she got greedy and impatient. Was definitely poor form.

Blessed image.

thats because the core mechincs of luigis mansion are solid and there not changing them there just adding on to it, animal crossing has gotten to the point where they need to change the formula up but dont quite know how to do it while still maintaining the same feel.

Generally grinding for resources is irritating and time consuming, especially when they're season locked, and that's not something people enjoy in a laid-back game like Animal Crossing. People are also spooked about crafting from how shit the mobile game is, too.

using these two pictures and my autism as a guide, I have produced a rough real-size width of the island

Attached: 9nookswide.jpg (5760x360, 556K)

i should pre face that i know so little about this game like luigis mansions trailer actually explained the game well, animal crossings kinda struggled to and the tree house gameplay was slightly worse at it.

Exact opposite is needed. It had zero detail. The triangle textures have it soul

God the art direction in this game is fucking kino. New Leaf can't compare at all.

it didn't help that the translator said UMMM between every word during the animal crossing segment

god damn it
>tfw no AC:PG texture/music pack for every AC game

honestly the gamecube one still has the most soul, i mean i like the 3ds one just because of how portable it is. Seriously though the music had the most soul in the gamecube one.

>Generally grinding for resources is irritating and time consuming
Resource gathering was already a thing in Animal Crossing though, that's how you get bells. The only people I can see being irritated by this are people who cheat their money in.
>especially when they're season locked
I'm doubtful many items will have season locked resources, aside from maybe the standard season locked event items.
>People are also spooked about crafting from how shit the mobile game is
This is fair, because Pocket Camp's crafting system is absolute cancer, but given there's no timer and no word of a timer it's immediately far better. The only downside is if future items end up having Pocket Camp's absurd resource requirements like 500 wood to make a table, but I'm doubtful that this will be the case.

Basically I think people are adjusting to the fact that there hasn't been a proper AC game at anything higher than 480p max on the Wii. This is just as populated as New Leaf, but since it's much more zoomed out you're seeing the gaps that were always there.

This is of course assuming that you cannot expand in any way. If you can buy access to a just one more island of even half the size it'll blow every other game out of the water.
I'm hoping that's the case.

and I hope to god they don't fuck up on the level that yoshi's crappy world did

I'll never understand why they just kept the rolling pin. It's not like it saves resources compared to a static top-down view. The view in the Gamecube version is just flat-out better.

Or just a fucking free camera, for the love of god.

is that the shadow of a cloud on the right there? That's pretty soulful
Trees are shaking a bit fast but I like the sentiment

I suppose they kind of count as "resources", but I meant ones from cutting down trees and rocks and things being potentially limited. But it's as you say, it might not be so bad, as things like fruit have always been limited too. They just have to balance it properly, which is what I'm worried about.

I'd tolerate the NL soundtrack again even if it wasn't anywhere near as good as WW/CF and I'd prefer that one. I feel like the old soundtrack fits the tropic island better. I hope they don't fuck it up.

Are we not gonna talk about how realistic this squid looks?

do not bully me for the things that I feel user

Honestly, watching Nogami demo the game, it was clear as fuck he'd rather be working on Splatoon 3. I think it's about time they formed a brand new team for Animal Crossing and let Nogami's crew stick with Splatoon. The guy just doesn't seem interested in anything else at the moment.

Another comparison. Seems about 11. Adjusting that calculation makes it more like the other games in size.

Attached: acnh_nookwidth.png (1920x1080, 2M)

It's because there is no walking. There's running and there's sprinting, so the speed and animation transitions look way off since you can start and stop on a dime.

question about weather, do any of the animal crossing games have thunderstorms?

definitely looks bigger than 8 or 9

Bottom looks better. There's not a large tree to cast neat shadows, but bottom doesn't use the triangles for grass and wallpaper printed dirt, and the models have clearly less to them in the top where they almost look paper mache with how low poly they are in this hi res world.

yes
I think they all do

I'm fairly sure they all do, along with lightning.

What is the top edge? Some kind of rocky cliff face?
Would've been better to have a beach all around so you could at least watch the sunset

I hope we can plenty of villagers on the island and that they have a system to keep them from moving away.

>sun setting in the north

Who gives a shit about graphics on an Animal Crossing game. They all look and play the same.

Who said thats the north? And who said this game takes place on Earth?

just checking, got woken up by a storm at 9 am and am currently playing new leaf where it's only been cloudy at worst hate living in florida

BUT THEY ADDED PHONES!

Pretty sure the AC sun sets at the top of the screen

The Wii U screen just had a shadow map under the tree and a depth of field effect in the background. The models are all taken from New Leaf minus their 3DS-specific shaders so they look flat. They’re also low poly. Texture resolution is low.

Switch version looks objectively and noticeably better

>phones are the biggest change user can think of

All this is well and good, but are they going to bring back the absolute SOUL from the original that was the sound of rain pattering on an umbrella if you have one up?

>mfw hearing it for the first time in PG

>north is always "up"

Miis are playable? I'm definitely getting this shit then

North being up is cartography 101

Rivers flow from mountains, so it had to be done for realism

Assuming the height is still 8 tiles... we're looking at around 6,480 or 7,128 tiles. (10x wide and 11x wide respectively)

Not as bad as initially thought. Do you have the autism to create a graphic with this info? Would be nice to have to post whenever.

I can't imagine there being too few resources, they seemed to be pretty much infinite, with the limitation being that the tools you start with are finite.

The top image looks way better. It looks way more faithful and it has better shading. Bottom image looks like a generic mobile game.

So which is a more irritating mistake, the map not having north as up, or the sun rising in the North and setting in the South?

But that in itself would be a problem, considering that incremental progression is a big charm for AC and essentially the core of its gameplay. Like I said, needs to be very well balanced to be a "daily" game rather than a "binge for 6 months and finish" game

Kinda an unfair comparison since the top picture isn't gameplay footage

Exactly. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

If someone had posted the bottom image alone I would have assumed it was a mobile game.

>even Animal Crossing is coming out
>no news of a new Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons for switch

feels bad hmbros

My current theory is that there'll be some endgame equivalents which give you larger amounts of items, or possibly rarer items (maybe a pickaxe which makes rocks more likely to drop ores). I'd be surprised if there weren't some rarer materials as well, which could be more likely to drop with later-game tools.

Multiple islands as in multiple save files. Can't make completely separate villages. Within the game we don't yet know if you can upgrade the island size or visit some other type of island/city.

Why didn't you like her? She's cute yellow dog who's always nice to you, what's not to like?

looks like ugly low budget unity shit hacked together by Digipen grads for facebook. Animal Crossing used to actually look good for it's generation. Sad to see nintendo ruining their own legacy.

As a furry that doesn't want romance I resent that

Nu AC fanbase has taken over after NL and will buy anything with the AC brand so if it is, sadly no

No during the treehouse gameplaythey said that intimacy was a big request for many fans and want to implement some kind of system for that

it's actually got a lot of detail to it and looks nice.

let's be honest, it's cute but it also looks kinda cheap

it will be a reputation grinding system where you farm shit to give to villagers you like till it fills a meter.

I want actual questlines with actual characters thanks. The villagers aren't randomly generated, they all have premade names so they should theoretically have personalities and histories as well.

Then off yourself with one.

why don't you come try something user

They fucked up with the E3 Direct in only showing the start of the game. You eventually build out the whole town, and you can also place furniture outside now I think. The Direct made it seem like your just alone dicking around on an island.

I still expect the villagers to be bland nothing characters and pale in comparison to the GCN one.

It's painted on detail, i want actual texture thanks.

They did mention a gift system but they implied that doing activities with them is will be more important in getting affinity related dialogue and character specific flavour text

what are we expecting max villager count to be? I'm hoping at least 10.

Okay then I will bitch. I've killed 100s of men during sandstorm and was a one man army. My emotions get out of control and i can't be stopped until my bloodlust is met.
