Support NeoGAF

[Lambogenie]

Explain please

Companies delaying or outright changing things because leaks happened. The leak may have been a legit cool but nah, change or cancel it. Second hand info but it has happened, I just find it dumb. It's probably not that drastic now given the time and money involved in each project, whatever it is.

 

[Generic]

Okami 2 confirmed for the Switch 2.

 

[A.Romero]

I haven't heard cussing like this since elementary school.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Fairly immature response from platinum. As to be expected with the shitty games they make.

He doesn't work for Platinum anymore, he's back at Capcom.

Does this mean he is making a game for Switch 2?

Okami 2 for certain.

 

[Futaleufu]

This reeks of "leave billion dollar company alone"

 

[kevboard]

most of it was leaked due to publicly available data or data that Nintendo accidentally added to their OS and stuff.

and the design was ultimately leaked by chinese manufacturers lol.

it's very little that "online leakers" actually revealed.

 

[fallingdove]

Ehh, Nintendo deserves this sorta thing for the way they treat their fans. Fuck off Kamiya.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

I just can't imagine caring if you learn about Switch 2 from a GAF topic instead of an official reveal trailer. Like... you can ruin the sanctity of a company's marketing? C'mon man.

 

[StereoVsn]

Meh. I am in my 40s. I have seen reveals of consoles, games, and bunch of other items. Bring it all out!

Now I am here for the drama, arguments and discussions. Oh and the Switch leaks are especially dumb to get mad about. That shit should have been revealed long ago.

Nintendo is in their right of course to do what the they want, but then don’t be surprised at the leaks when this has been in manufacturing for a while.

 

[Hari Seldon]

I get a chuckle every time a carefully crafted marketing plan goes up in shambles. Especially with Nintendo.

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

I don't really understand why Nintendo couldn't drop this video a month ago, before CES and all that shit.

We aren't getting real info until April, anyway.

Because they thought it would hurt holiday sales.

 

[Buggy Loop]

 

[Calico345]

I hate leakers and rumormongers too, but shouldn't that type of ire be saved for actual scum like murderers, rapists, pedophiles, etc.
I just think leakers and rumormongers should be permabanned from all social media.

 

[FeralEcho]

Yeah...it's the leaker's fault not this shitty industry mentality that every new announcement has to be held secret for years like it's the fucking Holy Grail site.

 

[{insert code here}]

I mean it's Kamiya, dude has an S-tier resume so ...

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Desperate hopes that nothing takes the wind out of Nintendo's new platform sales.

Why?

So that his mediocre Okami sequel with lackluster cartoon art style has a platform to fit in on alongside Mario Kart 8 from 2014.

Shitting on Okami's art style is a wild take. That game is gorgeous, and I look forward to see what the sequel will look like on updated hardware that can actually handle it.

 

[Neff]

He ain't wrong. We've never actually benefitted from a leak.

Except Project Beast of course, that was rad.

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Really don’t know what ppl get so butt hurt about it. Who cares. It’s a great device

 

[struggler_guts]

 

[Jinzo Prime]

So that his mediocre Okami sequel with lackluster cartoon art style has a platform to fit in on alongside Mario Kart 8 from 2014.

There's no accounting for taste I suppose.

 

[ValiantInstance]

Or they're reaping what they've sown for not revealing it sooner and trying to milk one last Christmas out of consumers?

 

[Sunkrest]

Some people love corporations too much. It's just a game console. A toy. Calm down.

 

[Hudo]

Weird how GAF feels personally attacked.

 

[Big Baller]

Cursing out scumbags while taking Phil's money and using it for other projects then Scalebound.

 

[Team Andromeda]

He's a right prick.

 

[rkofan87]

imo the big n took too long too reveal it.
once the first leak they should have put the video out.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

I agree.

I can't stand the endless leak/rumor-mill. For two reasons: the main one being it's just grifters who want to receive engagement/ad revenue. Screw those people. The second reason, show some self restraint. To me it's like looking at your Christmas gifts, before Christmas. Does no one want to be excited/surprised anymore? Is everyone always on the hype train and they simply can't wait?

Avoid the hype train, avoid the rumors, you'll find yourself pleasantly surprised when the reveal takes place. Or maybe you're disappointed but what have you lost? You weren't hyped and you weren't invested in the rumors, so it's whatever at that point. It's all win-win.

Will someone think of the poor corpos?

 

[Paasei]

Those leakers stink!

Spoiler

See what I did there?

 

[GymWolf]

They literally didn't spoiled any surprise or interesting bit of news.

Does any gaffers felt like they ruined that low effort ass reveal with the leaks?

The console look and run as most people already expected.

 

[DonJimbo]

Okami on Switch 2 would be wonderful

 

[JimmyRustler]

Leaks are pointless and stupid in general. We all hard a much better time anticipating new stuff in gaming before this became common thing and reveals were curated and planned.

That being said, Kamiya sounds like an idiot. The words used here are completely out of proportion.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

He actually said they should share the same fate as Kars in JJBA but yeah.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

"I hope all of the people who leaked Switch 2 information, and those who helped leak it, will be cursed for the rest of their lives to always have poop on the soles of their shoes when they get home"

"The worst of scum ... [they] should be covered in shit from head to toe and thrown out of the atmosphere... and then stop thinking and wander forever"

Whoa whoa whoa there buddy, hold your horses, Christ. This type of punishment is reserved for the worst of the worst only. Like people introducing proprietary memory cards.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Is this guy ever in a good mood? Jesus christ

 

[cireza]

Actually, he is just doing marketing for his new game.

 

[Filben]

It's not like it was a game with some crazy plot twists or innovative game mechanics has been leaked and spoiled.

In fact, nothing ground breaking has been leaked nor has been shown in that trailer.

 

[BlackTron]

I do give the man props for his phrasing

 

[Trilobit]

It's crazy that a leak all the way from september was completely accurate.

[Roman Empire]

Everyone knows Kamiya makes incredible games but he is a shitty person. Life goes on.

 

[Hudo]

Everyone knows Kamiya makes incredible games but he is a shitty person. Life goes on.

I dunno, man. I'd like to go drinking with him.

 

[Kabelly]

It would have been a nice surprise but everything leaks nowadays. Everyday wants to participate in corporate espionage for internet clout because it's so easy to with phones in everyones pockets.

 

[Roman Empire]

I dunno, man. I'd like to go drinking with him.

Maybe we should book something with him and go wild.

 

[Gamerfan81]

This is why I like this man. His tweets are hilarious.

 

[Minsc]

Meh, it's too old to think anyone would be shocked by Switch 2 without leaks. We all knew it was coming, many expected it 2023-2024, by making everyone wait longer doesn't make it any more surprising.

There's nothing that was shown which would surprise a large gaming audience so far anyway.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

This went into production MONTHS before reveal with all but radio silence from Nintendo. Everyone knew the thing would leak. That’s the climate we live in and Nintendo knows this.
