This does seem like a fun game especially with how the foam works, but the one thing I’m worried about is potentially seeing microtransactions here. I can see it happen since this is Square we are talking about, remember how they treated Chocobo GP at launch, as long as it’s not that bad I see this game last for a good amount of time

First thing I thought of as well. As an aside Light vs Dark was the shit. Put a ton of hours into that. Uprising was such an amazing game.

The Splatoon similarities aside, I think a bigger problem here is the game’s identity. You kept calling characters by “the pink hair” or something. And, as you said, the reps were saying you are doing great when you yourself were even confused as to what was going on. It kind of makes me feel like this game isn’t very approachable. Something that made Splatoon approachable was the distinctive characters. You play as an Inkling. And, you can easily get a sense of how well you are doing. So, there is no confusion. Here… that doesn’t seem to be the case. I think they need to market it better.

It might be different in execution, and I'm sure pro Splat players can write a book on the mechanical differences, but you cannot deny that it has strong vibes on the surface. There's a reason EVERYONE immediately said "Splatoon with foam" because the concept is undeniably the same. Two teams of x-players playing around with paint to mark their territory. Splatoon had ink, Foamstars has foam.

The dev team behind Splatoon put a lot of effort into the UI and have made improvements to it with each game. Like objects becoming transparent so you can see your character at all times, or the ink tank on the back of the player always being visible no matter the angle (even from the front!) so you can see how much ink you've got left or enemy sounds being louder than teammates so you can figure out friend from foe when a Special, Sub etc. is launched. It's little things like that which help players read a match even when it's pure chaos. This game's UI so far doesn't feel like it has that same attention to detail but hopefully with an established player base to get feedback from, their dev team can start making improvements. ^-^

I think it's "messy" because the map is so flat. Splatoon has more cohesive maps or rather solid objects that separate the things and makes understanding whats happening easier. The one thing I think they should change is having more standard objectives, something easier to grasp. In splatoon its filling the map with ink and thats simple enough. Death match, control, splatoon like foam the map? something like that would be way better I've seen a couple videos and it's really difficult to understand whats going on. That being said I'm very interested in the game

That's what the Foam is for. You can also use it to build barriers and to reach higher ledges, so it has a bit of Fortnite in the soup as well.

Baller sting ray it's literally what they're trying to emulate

Splatoon is a big time sink, many of my friends have 300-1000 hours in already. I doubt many dedicated splatoon players will be making the switch. Idk it looks like it good be some fun, but I hate the art style (looks like a bad mobile game) and as you guys said it looks kind of messy rn, but I'll be keeping an eye on it and probably try it if it's free to play

If this comes to steam I'll give it a poke.

"Right now we're only..." They clearly had to rehearse that line. I wonder if Nintendo has given them the dev kit for the next hardware.

Visually just looks like such a mess that the game has to outline everybody since the foam is just in the way all the time. What's the point of even having unique looking characters if they all look like blue/pink blob outlines?

The game seems to go by classes instead of weapon loudouts, kind of like overwatch. They could expand the game with new classes and stuff, at least the verticality of it is interesting.

one of the key component of Splatoon is the "resting area/zone" wich basically is the place where u choose to play online, to play solo, or to even customize your character, yea sure the pvp is fun and all but its not the only piece of the puzzle, and this game is just that one thing, its like say "its a Splatoon type of game" and just show off how characters "paint" the floor with a gun,.. is quite embarrassing if you ask me. And just because you slap some "hot" or "Waifu material" type of girl on there it wont do the trick, the game dev (or who ever is in charge) needs a better understanding of what a "Splatoon game" means.

It really looks "meh" at best. I won't be going over a 5/10 for this.

Pretty generic art style and lacks the charm of splatoon but looks pretty fun. Not sure how much longevity it will have.

You do know turf is the only mode where painting is goal? Anarchy is much pvp focused.

I think Ninjala primarily fell off because it had a bit too much going on, and there wasn't really enough in terms of range options - you can do a shedload of sponsor stuff, but if your game doesn't feel right, you're not going to stick. I think I remember seeing somewhere that when Splatoon 3 was announced, a fair number of the audience who saw Ninjala as a placeholder for Splatoon just hopped on back to Splatoon 2 to ready themselves for that. I actually dropped off Ninjala fairly quickly, because the game has a micro-transaction element that I just did not feel like I wanted to have to use just to get my game fix. The verticality thing in Foamstars feels more like Fortnite? It's really odd. Due to their limited install base (I assume they're selling it as a PS5 game even though it's also coming out on PS4?) and weird niche (when were foam parties last relevant?), I can't see it taking off (or at least not in the way Square wants). I'm getting a 'Destruction AllStars' vibe from it, and that game did NOT do well.

Watching this gameplay footage, I can't help but feel that Square Enix didn't look *past* the ink on the surface to see what *really* made Splatoon as fresh as it is; that's why I'll be sticking with Splatoon.

I dont know what it is about the gameplay, but it just looks sorta unpolished. Especially in the animations

I love it it makes me want to play it

hey as long as they dont do any of those “server connection error” bs, then sure. But gameplay-wise, i still prefer splatoon cuz of one reason. Its way more fast paced than whatever this got going on. Thats one of the things that made splatoon good. The adrenaline rush it gives you. The fact that thats the core mechanic of the game is what makes splatoon recognizable

I am primarily a Nintendo player but I own a PS5 and want to get my use out of It It's Just that.. a lot of the games especially online games aren't to my liking I can spend hours In splatoon 3 but call of duty I try my best and repeatedly get shot and It's not as fun to me So I was kind of hoping for this to be a splatoon clone hearing more about It I don't think this Is my cup of tea but It would have been cool to have splatoon on PS5 which actually has voice chat and messaging and better frames and graphics

This feels like Splatoon without any of the elegant design.

This looks like a Splatoon and Fortnite baby and I'll never be able to think of it any other way.

I really just wish you didn’t talk about splatoon as if turf war was the only mode

i mean if squares is gonna be inspired by another game it might as well be splatoon

i don't understand how you guys can be able to play splatoon and feel like this game has too much going on, like... splatoon is made to be SUPER fast paced and always has like 10000 things going on at once, this game is just a regular paced shooter but with foam. That with the addition of not even being able to tell what team the other players are when its literally the EXACT SAME colors baffles me, not only that but the other team is HIGHLIGHTED for you, something splatoon fails to do unless you have thermal ink, foam stars takes the extra mile to help you and you still failed at that, like how hard is it to shoot your color and realize "oh im pink okay thats my team color." Gonna be real, feel like its mighty unfair to give the game this kind of review for its beta when in reality the "cons" are just skill issues.

Why do people bring up Ninjala? It's a completely different genre...

oh, just ps4 and ps5, welp... there goes that.

How many strikes has Squeenix made since they tried to heavily monetize their games since first mentioning NFT's?

It will be tragically funny if Ninjala outlives Foamstars lifespan.

Kinda have more depth coz u get to climb the foam wow

Dudes complaint was that the game has a reload button instead of a splatoon reload 😂

Dragon Quest came first, Final Fantasy second, haha. I think this will be the Genshin to BotW.

Trying to hard to say it not similar 😂

I hate to say it, but it really is kinda a shameless rip off... The art style, the general theme, the presentation, the exploding colors, the use of "specials" the vibrant city in the background, the Color A vs Color B combat, its FOAM not INK sounds like ITS MARKER, NOT CRAYON, like yeah, your'e coloring the map, weather thats the goal or not, even the Chibbi fun anime characters feel like Splatoon. not saying its not fun, or that i dont want to play it, but to say that its genuinely diffrent is a stretch... its genuinely a rip off designed with the sole intent to be a competitor and i think that foamy ink is clearly written all over the wall, Ninjala LOOKED like Splatoon, this game looks, feels, and acts like it. when you play Splatoon music over this game it makes me forget its not by Nintendo. but clearly Splatoon is doing something right because they created a whole new sub-genre that has competitors foaming at the mouth to get in on.

I can already see: 70 bucks game with Battlepass, Charakter-Packs and Weapon-Skin-Packs. Sony and SE will 200% milk the hell out of this. I'll pass.

Like the analysis of the game. Still the concept is weird why they are fighting with champagne foam, it doesn't hold up to the lore of Splatoon of post apocolyptic squids evolving to become humanoids and developing tech to make their ink more lethal. Wished Nintendo did more crossover gear, they got so much IP they can put in the game but sadly its less than even mk8, goated that you remember the Squid Girl crossover, I really wished they brought the dress back again.

Idk about Ninjala being similar to Splatoon at all, but Foamstars just has copy and pasted a lot of Splatoon specials lol. There might be some other similarities like you travel faster in your color as you go into a "transportation mode" and stop shooting and other stuff. All I know is, there's some interesting ideas in this, probably not my kind of game if its more death match and also just not being on Switch lol.

Also kinda dumb this game doesn't have motion controls being a ps exlcusive and the ps is the only other system with motion. Overall hope this game doesn't flop

As much as a blatant Splatoon ripoff this game is, I will say the foam changing elevation is actually a neat mechanic to the splatoon formula.

I don't feel this game is going to be a success tbh

I just wanna put some positivity in this space. The devs of this game are not trying to make the next Splatoon or take players away from Splatoon. I'm seeing a lot of comparisons but I think this is big win for PlayStation players who don't have a switch and never played Splatoon. You can say it's not fair for it to be a PS exclusive but Splatoon is a Nintendo Switch exclusive as well so that argument is not valid lol As a big Splatoon fan, I've said many times over the years, I hope one day we get a Splatoon game, where we don't look like little kids. We are grown up and maybe we can play as Original characters or they'll make a Splatoon like game where we shoot water instead of ink. And now seeing this all come to fruition is like a dream come true. I wish them all the success and hope ppl will give it a chance!
