We will provide details regarding the “Legacy Gift,” such as how to obtain it, on our official website and official X account.

Shame no pc port.

 

[Hrk69]

 

[tmlDan]

Foamstars lasting longer than most live service games at this point

 

[MayauMiao]

Shame no pc port.

They probably will lose money by just porting alone.

 

[Mr Moose]

Is it any good?

 

[RoboFu]

foamstars user base....

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

and soon after:

 

[AJUMP23]

What had more success this or Concord.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Foamstars was a paid game?!

 

[Natsuko]

Er ... thanks, no thanks. Metaphor: ReFantazio is coming on 11 october. I don't even want this Splatoon wannabe thing as a gift. Does anyone still play it? I haven't read anything about this since launch.

 

[nikos]

Shame no pc port.

Yup, I'd definitely give it a shot on PC.

 

[Radical Dreamer]

wtf i thought it was free to play to begin with xD

 

[Robb]

The next update will probably be the “end of service” announcement.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Wait, people had to pay to play this?

 

[//DEVIL//]

lol. A little bit too late but being free and no need for PlayStation plus is a good thing

 

[Tomi]

Same destiny for Concord around December i think
Sony blew up 100 million on nothing
Imagine BLOODBORNE 2 with that budget
Idiots

 

[Lokaum D+]

foamstars user base....

It cant have less players than concord...can It ?

 

[Fake]

Still expensive.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Foamstars was a paid game?!

Yup. I think Sony paid the most.

 

[Heisenberg007]

Concord devs:

 

[DryvBy]

Who didn't get this for free? It was a Plus game and you need Plus to play it lol

 

[analog_future]

 

[The_hunter]

Foambros we are back

 

[Mossybrew]

It might not cost dollars, but attention is the new currency and this can't have mine. Life is too short.

 

[Shubh_C63]

The Concord killer

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

What had more success this or Concord.

I think this one.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Its not realy free, it will still cost you time, time that you will never get back.

 

[Ultros]

Concord probably soon also

 

[diffusionx]

Is it any good?

It's Temu Splatoon (Spatemu?).

 

[SmokedMeat]

They must’ve lost their four players to Concord.

Gloves are off now!

 

[Portugeezer]

Poetic.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

They just need a couple of new characters for the epic comeback.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Wait, people had to pay to play this?

I thought it was f2p too…

 

[FoxMcChief]

I thought it was f2p too…

Sony paid for it to be on PS+.

 

[The Saint]

t.

 

[rm082e]

I remember this game being completely dismissed the first time the trailer was shown. This one and Fairgame$.

 

[Roman Empire]

Wait, it wasn't free to play already?

 

[Diddy X]

Poor people who paid or this

 

[reinking]

Spoiler: because I can't decide if I just posted pornography or not....

 

[Natsuko]

Naaaah. I'd rather swap the whole game for Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash.

 

[Crayon]

I tried this and is was a massive cluster fuck. I could not keep up. idk if that's what the kids like or not. I do know they like f2p.

 

[Nydius]

The next update will probably be the “end of service” announcement.

 

[Lunarorbit]

You know the game is good when the title is in caps and has a registered everytime it's typed out.

FOAMSTARS is the nintendo seal of approval

 

[skyfinch]

Buying an over priced PS5 in Japan just so I can play this.

 

[Draugoth]

Er ... thanks, no thanks. Metaphor: ReFantazio is coming on 11 october. I don't even want this Splatoon wannabe thing as a gift. Does anyone still play it? I haven't read anything about this since launch.

Very pew peopke were pmauing it, Metaphor is also on my wishlist

 

[simpatico]

Is AI powerful enough to seamlessly merge the FoamStars and Concord code base? It would thereby merge the player base as well. Which honestly would be huge for either of them.

Probably not. A.I tried to merge the people who watched Borderlands and the Crow, and it stabbed itself in the jugular.

We'll need project Microsoft's project stargate to complete I think

$100B, microsoft and openAI's 5 GW supercomputer for AGI.
