A slap to every single artist in the gaming community, not even mentioning the artists who work for SE. Absolutely disgusting behavior. This needs to be known. Do not buy this game. Boycott it at all costs.
Somebody at square Enix really woke up and said “what if we make splatoon with overwatch characters” and no one in the building threw them off a window.
Foamstars is like Splatoon when the player characters were still bunnies and someone went "why would bunnies shoot ink?" And then they made them squids and octopuses.
But with Foamstars they didn't take that step, its a bunch of eboys and egirls and for some arbitrary reason they use foam weapons and surf on the foam.
So we all know Foamstars, aka Splatwatch, is so obviously going to be ass. I haven't even finished the trailer and I am appalled. However, I would like to share with you one minor nitpick in particular that I guarantee will make you suffer. Ready?
At 1:17 in the trailer, a billboard is visible in the background. It looks like this (circle added for clarity).
That is the name of the city the game takes place in. Bath Vegas. Say it out loud, it does not work at all. Upon seeing this, I was upset, but literal seconds later I thought:
Wash Vegas.
IT WAS RIGHT THERE. TEN SECONDS OF THOUGHT. I am so angry. The minds behind Balan WonderlandWORLD produce yet another banger. Bath Vegas. That is the name of the city in this game. This game that is already nothing but a hodgepodge of plagirized ideas held together with generic plasticky anime graphics. This game produced by the bright minds behind Symbiogenesis and Balan Wonderworld.
Square Enix needs to be stopped. We have reached levels of out-of-touch, creatively bankrupt executive slop that shouldn't be possible. Bath Vegas got put into this slick, million-dollar trailer and nobody put in the seconds of thought to realize it was fucking stupid. My heart goes out to the poor animators who had to try to defibrilate this abomination. I wish them a speedy recovery.
