Yes because I'd kill myself without my virtual friends

This is best looking?

>Deserted Island
>Everyone is in tents
Cautiously optimistic. I don't want more island stuff.

day one yes but until then I have to fight the urge not kill myself

You upgrade your tent into a house fairly early on in New Leaf, you can easily pay off your loan within the first day (roughly 20k bells). Your first loan in New Horizons is 50k bells so it won't take long at all.

>in New Leaf
Hold up, I don't recall you starting with a tent in new leaf.

I'm glad they brought back the fully textured grass, it looked really flat in the E3 trailer.

Good luck.

I was pleased to have things come out right after the direct.

Cause I sure as fuck won't be making it till 2020.

Well that quells one of my fears then. All that remains is the deserted island locale. Not a fan of that being the permanent village location.

I didn't notice but you can close the windows now

I was pretty hesitant at first but I don't think it's any different from having a town, it's pretty much just being used as theming for the game and an excuse to have a fresh start from literally nothing.

The island removes the train (Probably replaced by a boat or ferry at one point but it's not the same), removes potential for a city unless you can boat down to one, but that will be an annoying loading screen, potentially removes something like Tortimer's island as well. And it's still the rolling log!

what do you guys think the roles of the other special npcs will be this game?

It's almost like they're simulating daylight and how fucking bright it is outside when the suns out.

How can you even tell when you're playing a female? It's like everyone's a tranny.

I loved and played the fuck out of AC on the GameCube, but I never understand the compulsion to buy another AC game. It's just more of the exact same. More fishing, more decorating, more tedious convos with Animals. Once you've played one AC game, you've played them all.

So that's where that patch came from.

This series is literally 20+ years old.

The first game in the series came out 18 years ago.

Though I will say I agree about the water texture and ground edges, that's something they can easily fix before launch

My fuckin nigga. Yeah these people excited for Soulless Crossing (where 90% of the game will be spent in Nookphone menus and Nook workshop menus) absolutely baffle me.

Rivers edges are straight lines and not curved. Why? Looks very unnatural.

How big will this game be? Will the entire game fit into the switch's RAM?

Yeah, the deditated RAM too

I think it's because you can manipulate the terrain

Will this be the first time they release an AC that actually has more content than the one on the gamecube?

>You travel by seaplane.

I'm buying it to not miss a chance with twitter egirls. I want to get some before I get too old

WHENS ISABELLE?

The lack of a downtown seems like a step down from New Leaf but maybe it'll work somehow.

I have a fear that you'll communicate with Blathers by email only and ship things to an off-site museum for rewards. That would bum me out.

They need to implement some level of house design control for NPC characters. Once a villager lives in your town for like a week all their aesthetically congruent furniture has been replaced with fish and random crap from village quests and Re Tail.

>communicate with Blathers by email only
Fuck, I need confirmation that none of this is true because this is killing my excitement for the game.

Hell yeah it's comfy.

possibly optional

user if you honestly think there won't be a physical museum to strut around in you need to go back to grade school.

you gotta earn her if you want her

People always forget why the music is like that. Whilst other AC games go for a calm atmosphere at early and late hours the original gathers if you are up that late playing on a Gamecube they want you to feel awake and kinda push you to stay up with the upbeat music.

The original has the best hourly music without a doubt. I feel New Leaf had the weakest bar a few select tracks.

If they can mix the two then they'd be golden.

I've seen literally nothing to suggest any lack of museum to be built like any other village building.
You could just build all your shops in one section of the island if you want it back.

Makes me consider buying a Switch

Possibly the best looking Switch game, IMO.

I want it now, and am feeling like a huge fucking baby because I have to wait until March. Let me have new comfy animal crossing times, damn it.

They haven't really showed off traditional village buildings yet though I'm sure they'll be in (wasn't New Leaf Brewsters not revealed until the game came out?)

The craft system seems cool. But still not my type of game.

Hell yeah I'm gonna get it! I have been waiting for an HD Animal Crossing since the Wii U days!

I'm not a fan of these types of games, so no.

Bought Spyro yesterday though, is fun.

Nah, it looks good but these games can't hold my attention for more than a few weeks.

Why do you feel the need to compare EVERYTHING to Terraria, Doug?

>Be wandering around at 2 AM

AC for GC would have done well with Slider's rave hall.
It just reminds me of the night party life is all.

Not calling out that guy because he didn't seem unreasonable, but the handful of Terraria fans on Yea Forums always seem really nasty and obnoxious. They just shitpost in every thread about how all games should be more like Terraria.

Never played an Animal Crossing game, don't even know what you do in it. New Leaf any good to test whatever the fuck this is all about?

Slice of life sim? Harvest Moon lite? It's a very unique, very easy style of game. Very little challenge, you go around fishing, cutting down trees, collecting bugs, earning money, interacting with villagers.

On a similar note, the "soul vs soulless" meme is the most retarded fucking shit Yea Forums has produced in a long time.

Is it retarded? Absolutely. The most retarded in a long time? Man, have you seen some of the drooling vegetable shit this place has been spitting out lately?

>what I like vs what i don't like
>Nostalgia vs popular styles or trends today

I don't get why some people seem turned off by the whole crafting thing. To me, it seems like animal crossing was made for crafting and being able to convert materials into items and furniture.

Crafting sucks in the mobile version. Granted, that's partially due to mobile shit but still.

I feel bad for people like this that don't have an eye for soul. It's like they themselves are soulless.

She goes to the island at a later day once you have unlocked stuff in the island.

I think it was confirmed in the Direct they did for E3

the question is how far will it go. Will I still be crafting in the endgame or will the game revert to being shop based. Can I craft big public works projects like bridges myself or with the help of other villagers

In an interview after E3 but yeah. And she seems to be optional, though "Optional technically" and actually Optional are two different things.

First animal crossing I may not play, just need to see more of it

"Did you see those path-layers from Hammerfell?..."

Able Sisters will still be doing what they do best
Kapp’n might take you to the mainland because you’re already on an island
Hopefully Brewster makes a return
I could see Isabelle being the head of public works
There’s mailboxes I can see, but where’s Pelly and Phyllis?

Old good! New bad!

They're working for Nook's version of Amazon. Mailboxes are exclusively for packages everything else will be via text messages

Im hoping my life will be in a good enough position by March that I wont be able to.

You can do it, user

I mean even in the early game you can still just buy tools and furniture without having to craft. I think the crafting was implemented to give things more purpose.

>The lack of a downtown seems like a step down from New Leaf
Are you kidding? It's great. Main Street sucked, I hated having to go to a sub-area to get to all the important stores in one place. Much prefer the older way of having them spread throughout town.

the thing is if I like the crafting then hitting a stage where I need to start grinding for money rather than harvesting materials and building it myself is going to suck

The fact that you can have a proper front yard is extremely fucking comfy.

>proper backyard with fencing
>lawn furniture set

Yeah im thinking this is gonna be comfy kino

Looks fun but I've never tried this series. It doesn't seem that engaging but I'll probably give it a shot.

City Folk looked bad due to the complete lack of shading but I did not just see you shit on GCN like that. It had the most coherent style, best color palette and best lighting engine (Up until NH) of any of the games. The low poly, low resolution character models are kind of bad but besides that everything still looks great.

Attached: 26B1DE93-F416-4281-86D9-BA4D468BEEA4.jpg (400x313, 32K)

Isn't that partly what the Nook Miles system is for?
To incentive you to do things you wouldnt normally do rather than just farm beetles like in New Leaf?

Shit wrong pic, this one better demonstrates how good GCN's lighting was

Attached: 66713E5A-F12A-46C6-9F4A-DADE6ACBEB9D.jpg (480x360, 29K)

It’s pretty far from engaging. It’s a meditative, calm game. Almost like a coloring book in video game form, if that makes sense.

This, it’s not even a fucking contest, Luigi’s Mansion 3 is king in that department and the game isn’t even out yet.

That and the awful grass deterioration. Hopefully now that you can just make your own paths they cut this mechanic all together.

Attached: i.jpg (640x480, 89K)

ITs not really an "exciting" series. You play AC to wind down and relax, since theres no real goal. I guess its not for everyone.

>farming beetles
God, that takes me back. The island was a huge mistake. Completely threw off the natural pacing of discovery by just frontloading a bunch of rare valuable shit regardless of the season. I probably spent more time on the island than on the mainland because it was objectively the best way to make money. Really hope it stays gone.

Absolutely. Animal Crossing is my jam.

I even played the shitty ass phone game for an unreasonable amount of time

I assume they took the texture off the water because it made it harder to see the fish. I remember in new leaf it was almost fucking impossible to see anything in the water.

It's the video game equivalent of a stressball. It's not meant to challenge, rather relax

The island is no different than a regular town mechanically.

I really tried to give Pocket Camp a fair shot, but I bounced off of it one the timers became too absurd and reminded me I was playing a freemuim phone game and not an AC game.

But it feels shittier, and the feel of a town is important for a game like animal crossing

They're back, but the cliffs are really short now. Pretty pathetic looking compared to the huge ones from GCN, but it's better than being completely flat I suppose.

Attached: C05CABEB-9CC9-4B04-ACAE-F80BF6275D38.png (1334x750, 3.51M)

I'm torn on crafting.

On one hand, it incentivizes basically every action you can take. When you shake a tree, even if there's no fruit or hidden furniture in it, you can still take the branches. If you're hitting rocks with a shovel looking for bells, you can still get ore even if the rock is a dud. Stuff like that. There's a much more complex and engaging gameplay loop.

On the other hand, one of the biggest appeals of animal crossing to me was always the little things that added flavor to the world without being "mechanics." Like shaking trees, or eating fruit (which now gives you a strength boost or w/e). Now the game feels more like a GAME instead of a cozy sim. The fact that you have to build everything yourself gives you more to DO but it also detracts from the feeling of moving to a new town and being surrounded by strangers.

Maybe I'm just autistic. I'm still excited and I'll still buy it, I just can't help but be skeptical. I just want the game to be comfy.

you are absolutely right in every regard.

But I could make a bitching, aesthetically pleasing camp that fucking dunks on other people's shit camps

And they kept the fishing minigame. You cant fuck up AC fishing

Pocket Camp is a pretty easy game to mess with during down time at work
>Have some time in between tasks
>Do some shit in game, order some shit using all in game currency

Can they finally let villagers increase their house size too?

>Y-you are buying it, right...?
They need to clarify the online aspects of the game, because there is no fucking way I and another friend have enough irl friends to play online with together.
I and a bunch of online friendos would love to get the game and hang out, but this "8 players across 2 consoles" nonsense is killing the mood.

Have you ever gotten the urge to start a new town? Basically starting fresh but with minor changes, plus the ability to visit/trade more easily with friends since wild world added online

It's a very beautiful game, but the beaches are kinda ugly due to all the bloom.

>can place stuff anywhere outside

>game seems focused on building everything from the ground up

Only problem I have is the possibility we have to craft everything instead of buying. We haven’t seen major characters stores or a shopping plaza either, but It’s likely they are holding that information back until later

What would be the point of bells if you can't buy anything?

Didn't they show you that you could buy some items from little nook instead of crafting them all at the table?

That's because NL tried to give it this sort of semi-realistic look with light shining off of it and everything. Seeing fish was fine with the simple texture in GCN through CF.

>pokemon looks like an upressed 3DS game
WTF GAME FREAK YOU HACKS WHY NO BOTW-TIER GRAPHICS?

I s-still play... Feels like if I can keep my shit together in animal crossing, I can keep it together in real life... D-don't judge me

Attached: 1555040280302.jpg (750x742, 47K)

There will probably be stuff to buy with the bells, but my concern is that the majority of time will be spent crafting everything you want, buying materials, and getting material from villagers/quests. Similar to the freemium version of the game. I’d prefer to have shops or a plaza I can visit daily like the previous games

Where is she. You know who I mean.

Can you have a 2-story house in these games? I'm sold if you can have a sliding pole in a house

I just dislike crafting as a gameplay mechanic. I've never liked it and always found it tedious. Especially when you need just that one last rare item to craft a thing.

I much preferred the ability to just purchase an item outright and never have to worry about it again. I really like everything else New Horizons is doing besides that.

She must have a really fun new role if they're saving her like this

I prefer it to waiting for the damn furniture to rotate into the shop

Same, my dude. I'm no fan of Pocket Camp, but even it has its charms.

Cope, your false mascot is now at the same level of importance of every other special NPC besides the Nooks and as such you'll have to wait like everyone else besides Nookbros.

It’s the same you just have beaches on all sides now.

Excluding pocket camp I haven't played AC since wild world on DS and I am very excited about this new one.

I know, I don't like that. It's one giant tortimer island. Feels wrong to me.

Different strokes then I suppose. I'll take the wait

The only thing I don't like is the bloom filter. Hopefully it looks better irl.

Nobody trusts (((Nook))), get over it.

Oh shit, I didn't even realize that.
That's great.

Hmm, I hope there's dirt patches too, though. I don't want to live on a golf course

>And it's still the rolling log!
The grid movement is so fucking outdated and didn't even work properly in GCN. This isn't a genuine complaint.

>so fucking outdated
Significantly better than the rolling log.

All we've seen crafted is rudimentary furniture and tools. Its not like you're gonna be crafting the damn roccoco set or anything fancy.
And the fact that its named a flimsy axe implies the existence of proper tools later on. Not to mention the tradition of having golden 'super' tools to unlock throughout the series.

Your glory days just ended, get over it.

Attached: 1556572574022.png (848x736, 1.26M)

It has too much beach and too little grass

No it's not. The only way to make grid movement properly work is if they don't allow you plant trees and the like in specific areas within each acre and that's fucking retarded.

He was talking about the flat top-down perspective, nobody wants the screen transitions back.

Well let's get off this grid movement mindset. The game doesn't have to be grids. it can be a flat goddamn area instead of this stupid rolling log.

Being able to see the sky adds much more atmosphere to the game. There's no positive to the top-down view. You want it because the GCN game had it.

>adds much more atmosphere
Sure, if you mean literally.
>you want it because
I want it because I hate the rolling log and I had to make myself used to it because the terrible camera angle gave me a headache the first time I played. Among other things that is.

No, I want it because tube world looks stupid. Though I can tolerate it this time around because the curve is nowhere near as ridiculous as it was in New Leaf.

>tube world looks stupid
How, exactly? I do agree though, I think there should be an option for camera view regardless.

Animal Crossing always had a simplistic visual appeal.
Take your Gamefreak defense force somewhere else, faggot

>with that hideous faded white haze effect and desaturated color scheme
This and the fact that you're on an island are the two complaints I have with the game so far.
Still probably gonna buy it since those are fairly minor complaints and overall it looks fine, but those do bother me.

how the fuck do they even relate aside from being a nintendo game?

The Gamecube one has a lot of charm but the new one still looks very good, stop being a grumpy faggot. This is one of the few series that's mostly kept its visual charm through the years. WW was ugly but more due to too ambitious for the hardware than style issues.

t. fellow Population Growing boomer

>Gamecube and City Folk are the ugliest AC games, take off your rose tinted glasses.
You may have have some rose tinted glasses yourself if you don't think Wild World looked drastically worse than either of those. The game is blocky as fuck and runs at 10 FPS. Impressive trying to be 3D on the original DC, but still looks ugly as shit.

They confirmed during an interview your island will eventually become like the towns from previous games, and that they wanted to explore the idea of what your town would be like before you arrived.

Jesus, just how far from completion was this game upon the reveal? It's fucking animal crossing, it should take a couple months to pump these rehashes out, not 7 years.

AC has always been Nogami's team, though before this on he hadn't directed an AC in a while. He's been promoted to Deputy GM of one of ninty's departments though

GCN has its charm but it's dated and aged terribly, but for a game originally on the N64 it's not half bad. City Folk is inexcusable though.

They don't work on these games as soon as the last one releases retard.
Considering that the splatoon team is working on this game, this couldn't have been in development for longer than since splatoon 2 has been out.

Either way its not uncommon for nintendo games do have drastic graphical improvements from reveal to release. Just look at Mario Odyssey or Luigi's mansion 3

So a new twist on things but you still get to make a comfy town as usual? Sounds pretty good to me. As long as the crafting it's super tedious to get materials for I'm up for the idea.

>8 players across 2 consoles
Where did you get that idea? It's 8 player online, 1 player per console, 8 consoles. Local play is only up to 4 players.

Nah, the reason it was delayed was to remove more stuff. Enjoy yet another watered down port lmao

This genuinely made City Folk unplayable to me. Having to slowly walk everywhere to not constantly fuck up how your town looks or run normally and turn the place ragged was absolute shit. Only AC game I didn't dump hundreds of hours into.

What? They just have several studios that have more or less their own speciality/dedicated games. Nogami's studio was the Animal Crossing one, until they also made Splatoon.
Mario Kart's studio made ARMS.
There's a studio for 2D Mario, a Zelda studio... Well it's not as clear-cut but it's close.

Apples and oranges.
Also Gamefreak flaunts their laziness with each installment.
Animal Crossing at least tries to expand on what makes the game Animal Crossing.

I hope not, considering how much he hates cloud saves. Aya Kyogoku co-produced New Leaf and is now the director for New Horizons, with Nogami as producer. He also directed AC on Gamecube, DS, and Wii.

New Horizons > New Leaf > Gamecube >>>>> Wild World > City Folk

WW gets a pass since it was a DS game, but I still think CF looks worse since the upressed DS assets look like ass on the big screen.

Same desu and you could argue that villager requests are similarly unexciting in the real games, but the gameplay loop of doing requests every 3 hours in Pocket Camp was really boring and unfun.

It's a shame since they got a lot of really cool new furniture and decorations in that game, but it's just not fun to actually play. I'm extremely relived it doesn't sound like there's connectivity with NH to port over your furniture or shit like that. I'd have been livid if I had to play that shitty game to get fun items or have to miss out on them by not playing.

Sorry for the reddit link:
reddit.com/r/Games/comments/cuw2n3/nintendo_epd_nintendo_development_subsidiaries/

It's been in development since 2016 at minimum. New Leaf finished development in 2012, localization carried into 2013, then the team presumably moved onto working on Splatoon and Splatoon 2.

For one reason or another, Nintendo was absolutely against the idea of developing a new Animal Crossing game and instead pissed all over the IP with shitty spin-off and mobile games (as much as I love HDD). Animal Crossing single-handedly killed amiibo, kek.

What's the allure of AC games?
I've never played one before and this looks interesting

Mario Kart 8 is one of their better looking games but it has a unfortunate fate of being a Wii U game; ugly colours and their first outing into HD development meaning it lacks a certain flair. BotW is in a similar boat though that's an unpopular opinion.

The zoomed in tube is stupid as fuck. The GC's aesthetic was so fucking good. If they restored the villager proportions, tube and zoomed out camera like pic related, and then fixed the textures/lighting/shading they could make the game 100% comfy.

Peaceful escapism doing chores and making animal friends in a virtual world. It's like the video game equivalent of a stress ball or tending to a garden.

It looks like a PS1 game.

lol this is so sad

I disagree heavily, I think MK8 looks really good, and I absolutely love their use of colors.
I don't like games that look washed out or desaturated like the newest AC.

Putting New leaf above GC is bold to begin with, but puting an unreleased game on to is unprecedented levels of balzy.

If anything, New Horizons is too saturated. I don't think you know what that word means.

All the music we've heard so far sounds like Totaka. Reminds me of his work on HHD. Wonder if he'll be solo composer like he was for that game. It'd be based if they got Minegishi back considering he was the Splatoon composer. He hasn't worked on AC since the first one.

It doesn't matter if I put NH on the list since nothing else can even compete.

People who assume what a game will be like after only seeing it twice in two videos baffle me.

How the fuck does New Horizons look too saturated? Do you know what color saturation means?
Are you allergic to colors and that's why you dislike MK8's visuals?

I think autumn looks fine in NH. It's spring and summer that look washed out to me.

This!

MK8 doesn't have colour, it's extremely washed out. I don't know what to tell you

That's a good comparison

Ah, I see, it must be hard living with color blindess.

You're either colorblind, or you don't know what saturation means.

But can I control where new residents move in to? Having to make absolutely sure nobody moves out because your carefully crafted town space will get blown the fuck out when a new guy shows up and slaps down their house wherever they want has always been complete ass.

I'm sad that they got rid of the acquiring sound from pocket camp

Yes actually. They'll pick a place as normal but ask you if it's ok before ploping down. If you say no you can tell them where they should go.

Because 3DS Pokemon was already extreme soulless.

Also, I never said I dislike MK8's visuals. It was Nintendo's best looking game for a while but to say it doesn't lack colour is a lie. It looks incredibly bland in places.

dude stop, I'm getting second hand embarrassment watching this

AC needs more saturation, I don't like Nintendo's recent trend of making everything look pale and faded.

That's a shame

ew

Nah, I disagree. I think AC in particular looks really nice and the colours pop. A more muted colour scheme worked really well for BotW too. MK8 just looks drab, it's a Mario game - it should be colourful.

>only 4 seasons
why is nintendo so lazy?

I mean, there is technically 8 since they added in options for both hemispheres.

It will depending on the weather and hour you play. Overcast days won't be as colorful as a bright summer morning

You jest, but there should be intermediary seasons. Instead of one day grass, the next day snow, there should be periods of light snowfall and little patches of it on the ground that get bigger each week.

The first AC was actually going to have a sort of transition between snow and spring by giving the snow a brown-ish color, but they didn't go with it because it looked kinda gross

It's the same screenshot. Clear skies. It still looks too washed out.

No colours pop at all though, the righthand screenshot is fine, that looks how it should look. I guess I'll just have to change my monitor settings or something.

Buy it? If it's the same shit as every other AC game just with barely better graphics
