I will forever love that splatoon 3 is different, specially in a industry where sticking to a safe formula is way more popular than not.

It’s genuinely so cool seeing Splatoon 3, a game that shines by being so insanely different to what the industry at large keeps mass producing nowadays, that keeps its players in mind while also making creative statements about the art of making videosjuegos

New people got to become better artists by making different creations which is so insanely cool to me! And I’m certain they’ll continue making amazing things in the next multiplayer Splatoon

I wish more people appreciated these things about video game development

and I can certainly say spl3 innovated in so many ways, not only in the maps but that’s for another slop thread

And I find it even MORE impressive that the people making these maps were new developers! That is so insanely cool to me that they got to experiment, refine their skills and produce something entirely different to 1 and 2!
Again it’s extremely easy to do the same things but innovating is hard

Not even mentioning how aesthetically beautiful the splatoon 3 stages are for complex stories they tell about splatsville and the world of splatoon in general

It takes a lot of balls to admit you were making mid, but it takes 9 billion more balls to admit and improve.

The maps now in 11.0 are mostly good, they do a lot of interesting shit without relying on gimmicks and can use map geometry as extremely distinct elements for their design

But I admire that they took steps to change the maps while keeping their idea of splatoon 3 intact, it was the easy way out to just go back to the completely safe tried and true design choices 1 and 2 set, but instead the team developed their ideas and made them into more objectively good maps.

Splatoon 3 is really really cool to me for a lot of decisions it took, and maps is a big one

But I don’t want you reading to take this as me defending mediocrity or whatever buzzwords we want to use

Specially when the developers understood it wasn’t universally liked and at times bad

Which is a really novel direction imo, specially cuz it stands out in the industry at large

Chaos is a lot of things, don’t use it as a magic argument center point for what your image of chaos is! Chaos is freedom and also forcing people to clash together

Another point I want to tackle that pisses me off is when people use the game’s theme of “chaos” to argue it should give as much “liberty” as the original 2 games did

I find that to be bs
The game philosophy around the map changes being more limiting is around forcing head on clashes

It’s really hard to explain this to people who don’t appreciate these things but seriously try and imagine the universe where 3 just did the same things as 1 and 2 and how boring that would be.

but taking such steps as Spl3 took to change so many elements about map design for its game philosophy and design decissions, is risky! It’s cool it’s interesting it’s nice to play new things and think about what lead to those new things existing, rather than just copying a working formula

If Splatoon 3 decided to make maps like Splatoon 1 and 2, not only would that be 10 years with the same fundamental design choices, it would just be boring as shit

I 100% rather creative people create new things than to keep innovating a safe formula, being inoffensive is easy-

Fundamental design choices to make something new
And me personally coming from playing a lot of shooters with a lot of sequels, I find this really fucking cool!

Splatoon 3 was the game that received the 10th anniversary and has almost been running for half the duration of the series

which is something extremely commendable in my opinion, taking a series of huge risks across the board, one of those changed sectors being the scenario design

If you played 1 and 2 you know that splatoon 3’s maps are genuinely so different, good or bad the map design is changed by-

I feel like we really don’t give this praise to splatoon 3 as much as we should

The praise in question is for being able to iterate so much in so many aspects despite being a sequel game

We really undervalue it now but splatoon 3 changed so much while staying familiar-

Im at the doctor, heres an extended “hot take” on my perspective on Splatoon 3’s maps and why I generally admire them specially in 11.0 where most are really good (objectively)

Image for clutter

Hi guys they accidentally leaked a new battle mode for mkw thought you should know 💛

(Actually real I’m not lying look at the icon)

Pokopia looks good and I’d love to play it but 1600$ is way too much for pokemon

Just saw a backpack of the best Zelda game ever made, rando knows ball

he’s beautiful

Splatoon montage makers dare to ask the question: “How can we make unwatchable gameplay unironically”

and they deliver at that henny
