I may have made an understatement when I said that Splatoon wouldn't have a long life in gaming when I spoke about the file size. But seeing as tf2 was around 2gb, and now it's really grown into this thing it is today, you've given me some new found hope for the game. My concern was if Splatoon would have more content in it's future, and I can see that I have been given my answer, so I'm satisfied with the results, and now all that's left to do in my opinion is wait and see if we'll be getting custom settings and the likes.
I think it's very possible for Splatoon to grow just like TF2 did, I'd be very happy about it, too. I just don't think it'll have as much room for growth since it's on a console which will be replaced in a few years.
i agree that it probably won't have live for 8 years and god knows how much longer like tf2 has, but i don't think it's gonna die off in a year. if anything it'll only keep growing and growing as its reputation increases and more content is added to the game (either free or paid)
I agree, with Nintendo already having plans for a system dubbed "NX" too. Splatoon may be forced to have not as long as a life, if it is made obsolete due to the NX. However it should still live a decent amount of years.
well hey, pokemon games on the ds kept on trucking until nintendo shut down WFC for the wii and ds. hopefully, splatoon will live until they shut down the servers for splatoon or until splatoon 2 comes out (assuming it even does)
Rumor has it that Nintendo plans to bring the Splatoon IP into more stuff in the future, I hope that it does happen.
Maybe. If Splatoon is good there will definitely be a 2nd. But after NX comes out Splatoon will basically die, unfortunately.
eh, i disagree. most users will have already moved on to another game before the NX's release, and serious splatoon players (competitive or just diehard fans) will continue to play the game regardless of the NX's release, at least until a hypothetical splatoon 2
As far as I've heard we don't know for sure that the NX is going to replace the Wii U or anything, from how they've been talking about it it kind of sounds like it's something else entirely, or at least not a strict upgrade. Who knows though.
That sounds.. weird. They aren't very clear on all that.
Yeah it's very up in the air right now and we don't have much to go on. It'd be neat if it were an oculus rift type device or something, they did say it was something brand new (but so was the wii and wii u and ds and 3ds, nintendo loves to do the big innovations).
We'll see. I've got my fingers crossed for something great!
I mean it all depend on how interested and committed the competitive community is; while it will be a lot harder to grow after the new console release, assuming there is no sequel on said console, there no reason the community wouldnt be ale to keep the game alive.
True. Let's see how far we can get, as a community.
pretty damn far, i think :)
Yep. I have no doubts.
File size doesn't always mean a smaller game. For example, Super Mario 3D World clocks in at 1702MB, which is impressive considering how much content is there. Nintendo has always been the master of file compression. However in the opposite spectrum there is Sonic Lost World, which takes up a staggering 8475MB.
This is true. I'm sure the file size is just good compression.
