Octoling Hype Thread (prev. Assets in SplatNet)

Yeah if we keep bugging Nikki it will irritate her. It's not like we will know the answer any faster by doing that. Besides we only have to wait until around January for the big reveal. :D

Now Nintendo, I condone bugging them. Even if it obviously doesn't matter.
"Yo, Nintendo, when you gonna release Half Life 3- I mean playable Octolings?"

(Don't say anything about Nintendo not being like Valve, let me have this joke. :U)

Hey, at least they aren't delaying Splat2n every time someone cracks the "Worth the WEIGHT" joke.

I don't know Japanese, but according to /r/Splatoon, it's just talking about how a life sized replica of the Inkzooka and I think a Carbon roller will be shown at a convention or something. Nothing to get excited over, sorry.

Ah, lol, guess I should have checked there before jumping the gun.

It's just done in a "new weapon" style, had me worried for a second.

There was an update of roughly 30MB, apparently.
More than all the Maps in Splatoon combined.
So there is apparently much more coming to end the January updates, than just custom Hydra and the final Multiplayer-Map.

What exactly is all that unknown data?
Well, you be the judge! <3

 

[Flareth]

Wait a minute... I've heard nothing about an upcoming update. Did they get this straight from the servers or something?

Also, what's the usual filesize for a map?

 

[Paragon-Yoshi]

I quote:

when the august update hit, there were 40 mbs of unused data that were installed to the splatoon base. noone outside of dataminers knows what's in it, but we know that 40 mbs of data was NOT used for patches, current stages, gear etc. now if you remember, the 2.2 update introduced all new clothing, stages, and the massive balance patch that ushered in stacking rollers and chargers. that 40mbs has been in there since. and even with all the combined clothing and stages released TO THIS DATE, there is still about 20 mbs floating around that does not apply to any other data.
that's the last i heard
now what could be in this data, anyone's guess. but i'm guessing all that is related to the final uppdate.
even if less data than that is not accounted for, less than 20 mb can still contain all the clothing, stages, and player info for the game to date.
maybe it's been bumped up, but all the clothing and stage data is very efficient, and takes up that much space

 

[ThatBerkawitzSquid]

So what I'm gathering is: There's lots of unused data that's been there since 2.0, and that data may or may not be implemented in 3.0. If it is, 3.0 will probably end up being a huge update. Cool~

Now give me my Takos

 

[Flareth]

@Paragon-Yoshi
Who said that, Nikki?

...so what I'm getting from that is that all the current gear, weapons, and maps can fit into 20 megabytes. I find that rather hard to believe; is there someone with more tech knowledge than I who can explain that for me?

 

[Paragon-Yoshi]

Info came form Nikki's tweets.
But don't ask me when she posted that. X_X

 

[Of Moose & Men]

So, back on the hype train?

Rough Google translate:
Tomorrow [announcement] 1/20 see updated data (Ver.2.5.0) will be delivered. Due to the delivery 9:50-during the 11: 00 service unavailable due to server maintenance. This update will update with bug fixes mostly.

 

[DekuKitty]

This update will update with bug fixes mostly.

Lie down.
Try not to cry.
Cry a lot.

Edit: I translated the page with Chrome, it's just minor bug fixes.

 

[Of Moose & Men]

Yea, BUT, mostly means there is something in there that isn't bug fixes.
Lol, just wanted to throw something into the mix.

"Ya never know".

 

[G1ng3rGar1]

Where is the fabled 3.0.0 update?

 

[redacteddd]

Is this tweet just about mostly bugfixes or does it signify even more

Honestly, this is what I'm expecting now. Nintendo's going to shove finders down our throats just for the "heinous crime" of asking for playable Octolings, and they won't let go. Ever.

At least they chose not to shove them elsewhere.

Oh Nintendo you twisted kinky little....
