Wii Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 So no voice chat has been confirmed. That's a day 1 purchase decision made for me. Seriously? *shakes head in dismay* It's in the video you posted right near the end.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 It's in the video you posted right near the end. I didn't watch it. Those guys have a habit of spoiling stuff.
Serebii Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 This game does truly looks amazing. Lack of voice chat is very disappointing but not a deal breaker for me. I really want to play it, it looks like such fun
Kav Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Seriously? *shakes head in dismay* EDIT: Just seen it myself. Good job, Nintendo. You make an online shooter and don't give us the option to talk to our team. Fantastic. It's not just that, it's that you can't even talk to your friends. That's not what gaming is about, it's about having fun and chatting to your friends whilst playing is fun! It's so disheartening. Nintendon't.
Hero-of-Time Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 This game does truly looks amazing. Lack of voice chat is very disappointing but not a deal breaker for me. I really want to play it, it looks like such fun Indeed. The game oozes that Nintendo charm that you've come to expect from their games. Like you, i'm disappointed about the lack of chat but it's still a day 1 purchase for me. In regards to the voice chat issue, i've bumped up THIS thread for us all to have a good rant. Hopefully this will keep things in here a little more positive, especially with all of the previews and info being released.
Wii Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Nintendo knew that this was an issue and purposely kept the decision on voice chat secret to avoid the backlash. Well the bubble has burst and they'll lose sales over this decision, myself included.
Cube Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I hope the singleplayer is good enough on its own to warrant a purchase.
bryanee Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 That single player better be damned good because I'm not buying it for the multiplayer now that it has no voice chat, not even for bloody friends.
Serebii Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Don't you think that not buying the game due to lack of voice chat is a bit of an over-reaction?
Cube Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Don't you think that not buying the game due to lack of voice chat is a bit of an over-reaction? I never play any other online shooter while I'm not talking to friends, so I likely won't play much multiplayer in Splatoon.
Sheikah Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) I wholeheartedly agree with this GIF. Batten the hatches. Shit's going to get real in here now. My actual input: insane that it's not there. For a co-operative 'shooter' to not have voice chat is absolutely bizarre. Edited March 23, 2015 by Sheikah
Kav Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Don't you think that not buying the game due to lack of voice chat is a bit of an over-reaction? I don't. I feel I was ripped off with MK8 and Smash. I wish I could rewind time and not spend the money on them.
Serebii Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I don't. I feel I was ripped off with MK8 and Smash. I wish I could rewind time and not spend the money on them. Wow. I have no words.
Sheikah Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Wow. I have no words. See, if you had voice chat you could express some.
Kav Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Wow. I have no words. Me too. I'm just gutted, it's so disheartening. I'd have looked forward to this game if it had voice chat... without being able to chat with my friends I find that games generally just lose a little too much (funnily, Monster Hunter is an exception. Sure it lacks something but it still manages to dig it's claws into me).
RedShell Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Saw all the activity in here and instantly knew the shit had hit the fan. At least the lack of voice chat is finally confirmed. Hopefully discussion in this thread will soon be able to focus on the game itself, which really does look and sound amazing. :awesome: Single player: Liking the music in those vids, nice to know that style from the 2nd trailer is going to feature in-game.
Ronnie Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 At least the lack of voice chat is finally confirmed. Hopefully discussion in this thread will soon be able to focus on the game itself, which really does look and sound amazing. :awesome: Don't get your hopes up! 1080p and locked 60fps is a nice bonus too. Looks glorious. I just hope the single player campaign is meaty enough.
Serebii Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Don't get your hopes up! 1080p and locked 60fps is a nice bonus too. Looks glorious. I just hope the single player campaign is meaty enough. Are you sure it's 1080p? I thought it was 720p60. Locked 60fps is good though
Ronnie Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Apologies I might have been mistaken about the 1080p, thought I saw it somewhere

Serebii Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 [TWEET]580030296021667840[/TWEET] Just because a video is 1080p doesn't mean the game is. Just have to ask Xbox One developers for proof of that.
RedShell Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Yeah, I'd be absolutely amazed if Splatoon is native 1080p. I'm expecting 720p like most Wii U games. Just checked out the official Japanese site, there's a clean version of the theme music on there!: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/agmj/index.html Can't get enough of that tune. Really hope Nintendo do an OST CD for this game.
