>>253014761
>fan made
>have the balls to call it 4
I'm expecting total shit.
>>253014761
Shit.
Its completely unoriginal and lacks the charm that the actual games had by simply copying the style and mechanics.
>>253014761
Eurgh. The only thing that bothers me about it is that they named it Mother 4.
Considering how bad is the Mother fanbase, it'll be shit.
Doesn't even matter. The fact it's called Mother 4 and that it's not official will turn everyone off.
I give everything new the benefit of the doubt. I think it's too early to say right now. However, the music they have thus far sounds immensely Mother-ish and it even looks like it could be a continuation of the franchise.
My hopes are high, but I'm prepared to have them dashed as well.
I guess I'll be the first to declare mid-level hype for it, then.
It looks a'ight and is free, so no complaints.that said i've been waiting for 3 years fucking come on now
OP, if you're not trying to bait, why did you post a five year old picture? It doesn't even look like that anymore.
>that faggy logo
>chase
>those horrid sprites
>>253014761
I'm optimistic. But, the thing is that Mother series have a huge "charm" component, and I don't know if the developer can reach the high standard of the series. This wouldn't be a significant problem if he didn't name it Mother 4.
>I'm going to write something that mimics or actually rivals the skill of Itoi
The audacity
So when is Nintendo going to C'nD this shit?
>>253017628
Why do people hold Itoi's writing skill to such a high regard? It's good, but it's not something you can write home about.
>>253017435
I suspect the developer is confident that he can recreate that charm. I doubt he would have labeled it as a sequel were he not confident.
However, it would help if people went into with an open mind, but since people are probably going to go in assuming it'll be shit, they're going to stick to that mindset and the whole thing will likely receive unnecessary hate including a lack of actual criticism.
>spic protag
shit.
well since the developers viraled it on /v/ its going to be horrible
Speaking off, how did that fan made Chrono Trigger sequel turn out?
>>253017860
Then don't call it mother 4, you could of easily said "Heaviy based on" or "Inspired by" and STILL ride the coattails of the earthbound series.
Calling it 4 is outright ballsy and egotistical.
>>253017790
>So when is Nintendo going to C'nD this shit?
They won't. Itoi said people can do whatever they want with the franchise because he was done after Mother 3. And technically, there's nothing directly related to Nintendo except the name "Mother"
Everything else is original content, including 98% of the music.
I just started playing Mother 3 (I already know the story so you niggers can't spoil it for me) and it's absolutely amazing. By far the most amazing thing is the music though.
>>253017951
except they haven't. stop blindly listening to what you hear.
where does this myth keep coming from?
>>253018104
Won't they legally have to CND it to protect their IP? The fact that the title and style suggests it is a sequel to the Mother series infringes on their trademark no?
>>253018104
Wow, thanks for confirming you don't know shit about copyright laws.
>>253017860
Oh, people will shat on it without even trying it., I know it as a fact. Specially /v/.

I can't imagine the the game being shit since it's based off the previous games gameplay wise anyway. At worst it'll be a missed opportunity.
Can't be worse than 3.

I'll be disappointed if it isn't good.

>>253017964
It's alright. It even got released as a ps1 greatest hit
>>253018839
They also underwent a huge shift early on when they redid the characters/story because jackasses were writing self-inserts
I for one really like the idea of the character of Leo
>gangster-type gruff dude
>he's got PSI/PK powers
yes that's fucking awesome
Mediocre
>>253018249
The beginning in terms of music blew me away, simply because of how good it was, and how varying it was for each fucking enemy encounter. Seriously, so many different themes for enemy/boss battles.
>>253014761
Guess we will see in time. No point in pointless pessimism.
I'm not expecting anything from the plot, but I have hopes for the gameplay.

aka the game mechanics
it also uses the same art style and writing style
it has no spark of life
it is just a poorly done rip off
>>253019212
Why don't you ask any native jap? Ask almost any foreigner? Hell, chances are you're going to get some replies from Americans.It lacked a lot of things that people found special in Earthbound and it just isn't the same.
>>253020359
It's almost like they were trying to go for a sequel, or something.
I understand /v/ has a problem with that because it's fanmade and there's nothing "word of god" about it, but fuck, you jaded cunts don't even give something the benefit of releasing before you call it shit.
>>253020359
woah buddy, let the game come out before you project onto it
also...they're at least trying to expand the overworld and battle systems. apparently (judging from the starmen thread) there's a few social overworld elements and a few new battle ones
will they be good new mechanics? maybe, probably not, but it's a bit unfair to say before the game is released. baseless optimism or pessimism at this point is worthless.
>>253020452
That doesn't really make it bad though, it just makes it different.
>>253020872
>you jaded fucks
Do you not see the irony in this? I mean, there are plenty of people who aren't being totally negative, and you just conveniently miss out on those posts?
>>253020452
Mother 3 improves on pretty much every point though. The map isn't as open as it was in Earthbound/Mother, but that's about it.
>>253021289
I don't just conveniently miss those posts, no. Do you not agree that it would be difficult to assume so since we're all anonymous?

They had the idiotic nerve to call it Mother 4, they deserve all the preemptive criticism they fucking get.
How about instead of making a shitty fan sequel they try doing something that isn't a waste of fucking time and make their own fucking game instead of shitting on an already complete franchise.
Is it directed by Itoi? Then it will be good.
>>253023539

>I see what you did.
Most every complaint about this game seems to be some form of projection.
I'm not even sure why this fangame in particular gets some much bad rep when there have been many like it before with similar names within the same franchise and in other fanbases.
What is it about this project in particular that gets people tied up in a fizzy?
>Dev team is aware of the risk of a C&D
>If faced with one, their backup plan is that Mother 4 will become a generic, boring RPG with nothing special about it and not ties to the Mother franchise
>>253023692
How is this fangame "shitting on" the franchise, exactly? It's a fangame and it's not a direct sequel or part of the overall story of the original trilogy.
>made by high schoolers
What do you think? Itoi is an actual accomplished writer and his writing and set pieces are why the Mother games are great. These faggots are just obsessive and narcissist fans.
I know Mother fans desperately want a Mother 4, but don't stoop to support fanfiction. The Mother series is one of the only game series that actually ended on a good note, instead of spiraling down to irrelevance like so many game series.
>>253024557
>How is this fangame "shitting on" the franchise, exactly? It's a fangame and it's not a direct sequel or part of the overall story of the original trilogy.
does anyone on the team have any previous video game making experience?
>>253024267
Probably being self-insert shit early on before they got their shit together and that the project started when most of the devs were in high school and other things related to credentials
>>253024776
I don't think you realize that it won't impact the series at all though. Unless it's by Itoi it's not canon, so it can't hurt the series other than make some people butthurt that it's called Mother 4.
>>253024826
You just literally reposted what he said with an image.
Im not sure how that image is supposed to make your arguement
Try again.
>>253024826
What is this supposed to mean?
First of all, that's not even the logo anymore. Second of all, it's still not a direct sequel.
Third of all, they already stated it'll have ties with previous mother games.
So what's your damage, anon?
>>253024267
>they called it mother 4
>it's not itoi
Almost every argument stems from that. People can be insanely defensive over Itoi's stuff too.
But yeah, I don't see why people get upset. It's pretty what Itoi said he wanted.
>>253025001
You just literally missed the point.
Please pull your head out of your ass and try again.
>>253024826
Quality post, anon.
Just how exactly are fans allowed to make a sequel to a game owned by another company? So I can make a sequel to zelda and profit off it too?
>>253024535
If the game can't stand up on its own, then calling it Mother 4 won't mean shit.
>>253025421
THEN GUESS FUCKING WHAT, NIGGER
>>253025146
Clearly
Why don't you explain it then?
He already acknowledged its a fan game sequel.
So whats your point
>>253025402
It's not a sequel and it's free, so, yeah.
>>253025402
Except they're not going to be any profit here.
It's going to be free.
>>253024535
They've already said that most of the game won't heavily rely on elements from the Trilogy, so removing ties to the Mother franchise shouldn't actually hurt it too much.
>>253025402
You can make it sure, you can't profit from it.
Unless they start selling it for money, which they presumably aren't planning to, then they should be fine.
>>253025421
FUCKING GODDAMN THIS
>>253018356
NOBODY except faggots call this series Mother in America.
>>253025402
They won't even take donations for it, so I don't think they care about making profit.
>>253025625
THEN WHY ARE THE FAGGOTS CALLING IT THAT IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE
>>253025186
>>253025078
>>253025001
He's pointing out that they have the audacity to label it in the fashion of a main series title (you know, calling it Mother 4 and not Mother: Subtitle) and that it's extremely disrespectful to the series.
Even though I'm hyped for Mother 4, I kind of agree. Naming it that has given the image that the dev teams expects itself to put out a product of the quality of a main series game, as well as implying they have what it takes to match Itoi's work. I don't think they're that full of it but the name really is setting the bar for themselves, as well as setting the expectations of their more demanding fans.
They need to change it.
>>253025665
Except mostly people in the west DO refer to it as the Mother series
You won't see anyone calling Earthbound Mother 2 except for supernerds, but everyone still refers to the series and the third game as Mother
>>253024091
#rekt
I wonder if the guy killed himself after that C&D
Hasn't someone already asked the team "why did you decide to name it Mother 4?" I mean, if I were in the team, I'd make sure everyone knew why, with how much controversy it's causing.
>>253025807
Well he should have just said that then. I can kinda agree with that.
>>253025807
>They need to change it.
They don't really NEED to do anything. They're making this in their free time and doing it for free. To feel entitled to any specific changes is absolutely childish.
>>253026008
What really sucks about >>253024091
is that Sega initially actually gave them the go ahead on the project.
It wasn't until almost literally right before it came out that they issued the C&D.
But you can still find it on the internet I understand. It got mirrored
We are not going to change the name so get over it.
>>253025778
Because they wanted to make a game, and thought it'd be funner to make a fangame.
It's why most people do hacks or original games based of of already made games.
Also, Caps Lock may be cruise control for cool, but you still need to steer.

Mother fanboys are fucking atrocious, no wonder fangame devs are going quiet now.
I think they have the right to call it mother 4 since the last game didn't get a U.S. release. Deep down everyones willing to try this and anyone who isn't, is not a real earthbound fan.
Why are you all so goddamn autistic? It's just a fucking name, grow the fuck up. Besides, the creator regrets calling it Mother 4 but the name stuck since it's what the project is recognised to be called.

I don't know why the Mother fanbase hates it so much.
>>253026739
I don't really have an opinion on this game, I just hate that kind of comic
Is this Japanese made or western?
How long till the C&D

It's seems more like a 75/25 thing.
75% seem cool with it, and if you look on other sites you'd rarely find as much hate as you do here, while 25% seem to dislike it.
Of course, there's always a chance of samefag here, but that can go either way.

IT's hilarious because Itoi specifically said he didn't care about making the 4th installment himself and specifically said he wanted to play a mother game made by someone esle.
>>253026931
Western.
I'm unsure of the likelihood of it getting C&D'd because they've kept pretty quiet about it.
>>253026802
Well Itoi already knows about it, and he doesn't care about this series anymore. He straight up told the fans that he didn't want to make a mother 4, he wanted to play a mother 4.
Why make a fan game when you can make your own game, honestly
>>253027034
No it doesn't. It looks exactly like a mother game. With all the charm and everything.
>>253027228
Probably because he wants to play a game that's FUCKING GODDAMN ORIGINAL
What was that other game that said it was "like Earthbound" and had tumblrish looking art sone by a Jap?
>>253027331
No it doesn't. It looks like a piece of shit that someone MSPainted to have original donut steel characters. With none of the charm at all.

Keep your filthy white hands off Japanese properties, assholes
>>253026129
I don't feel entitled at all. Shit, in the end I really don't care if they change the name.
However, I believe changing the name would be a SMART decision, both to pacify an absolutely MASSIVE amount of shitflinging and even potentially lower the risk of a C&D considering the main-line style title could rub off on Nintendo's legal team the wrong way one day.
Mother 4 is fine for a small fan project, but this game blew up to colossal proportions and a lot of eyes are on them. They should be more careful with how they portray themselves and their game.
I mean yeah, it's only Mother, but legal teams and C&D's can be fucking unpredictable at times, and something simple as a name could step on the wrong foot.
>>253027260
For the devs, it's probably just their way of expressing their intense love and compassion for the series. I think it's endearing.
>>253027341
Good God chill the fuck out.
>>253027341
wow you're pretty angry. you should chill out. plus the only connection it has to the mother series is the combat and magic.
>>253026645
>but the name stuck
ABSOLUTE HORSE SHIT
>>253016167
This is basically exactly how I feel about the project.
The dude who made a earthbound even said that he'd rather see a fan-made Mother 4 than be forced to make a Mother 4. He said that Mother is supposed to be a personal experience, and so he would like to see what fans would think of the series.
Anyhow, I dunno if Mother 4 will be good, but at least Mother has fans dedicated enough to bring the rest of the fandom something they think everyone will enjoy. That's awesome.
>>253026616
You missed the part where Mega Man fan games take years and more often then not get shit canned over petty drama like Time Tangent.
>>253027589
And the name.
And the art style.
And the fact that its a fucking rom hack.
In other words, EVERY FUCKING THING ABOUT IT
it's going to try too hard to be DEEP and fail.

Nigga why you salty?

>>253027557
>an absolutely MASSIVE amount of shitflinging
With people who make a massive shitfest about such a thing like a name, it's doubtful that there'd be any benefit in appeasing them as they'd just move on to another thing to shitfling about. There's also the deal with that being a show of weakness, "if you can get them to change a name just by complaining about it enough, what else can you get them to do".
>>253027504
Not like nips would have done a Mother 4 since they hated Mother 3.

Holy shit, enough with the caps. What are you, 12?
>>253027345
I don't think the actual makers of the game said it was like Earthbound but people interested in it did, but maybe I'm mistaken.
>>253028053
Likely because it uses a similar engine.
>>253028037
Actually the artist does the art for the game
What really bothers me is that it's named Mother 4
The level up jingle thing is pretty fucking cool though
I'm just wondering if it's going to continue the story.
I mean, why bother calling it Mother 4 if it's not related to the previous games?
If it is unrelated, then they might as well call it Mother (subtitle).
>>253027939
>they hated mother 3

I guaran-fucking-tee you they don't give a shit. It's fucking Earthbound. Send your little report and watch nothing happen.
>>253026616
maybe Mother fans are company loyalists like pic related.
>>253027189
This is my main issue and basically why I "allow" the title Mother 4. It's obviously named Mother 4 because they've read that interview and it's a cheeky way of paying respect to the creator. Ironically enough, people who are complaining about the name are not in the right Mother mindset
I'll reserve judgement until it comes out
>>253028162
They've already got a plan in case of C&D, and it involves only very slight changes with the game. As much as people want this down, it won't be able to be fully taken down because it doesn't rely heavily on assets of other Mother games to begin with.
The fact that the developers were smart pisses people off and that's just great.
>>253028660
that shit doesn't work. I wrote a letter posing as the mother 4 team asking for permission to use the mother name. I then reforward them the email every day
>>253028525
That's exactly what Mother 2 does with Mother and what Mother 3 does with Mother 2.
Actually naming it "Mother 4" is arrogant as fuck. It's like when Ninja Theory made DmC.
>>253028651
>can you do a C&D for a free game?
It doesn't matter if its free when it infringes copyrighted material.

This is the funniest shit I've read in forever. You guys act so righteous, but it's pathetic that you care so much about shutting down people's fun. For what? Your own entitled opinion on what should and shouldn't exist?
Do you literally think that after a trailer with multiple articles written about it, a decent amount of attention from plenty of places, etc. that NoA's legal department doesn't know about it? Are you that naive?
>>253028202
Link or I call inspect element.

plz go jett
>>253028651
It felt too dark and depressing. They liked happy Mother 2, with the fly honey, the Diamond Dog, and the Labyrinth Man. It felt more positive and happy. How many people actually died in Earthbound?
>>253028162
Dude, could you give me more info on how to help?
>>253028651
>can you do a C&D for a free game?
You might be too underage to remember, but there was once a Chrono Trigger fanmade 3D remake that got C&D'd by Square.
>>253029064
You are such a righteous dude
I won't open my mouth until I actually try it
>>253025931
I always called them Earthbound Zero, Earthbound and Mother 3.
>>253028162
come on dude, I don't even like the game but why do you have to be that one guy who shit's on other people's fun
>>253028741
>I'll reserve judgement until it comes out
That's what everyone should do, really. Or at least until we actually get a really good look at the game. So far, we only have that one trailer.
>>253029026
Reminder thatPokey has one of the worst fates of any video game character ever. I think he just wanted to be friends with Ness.
>>253029026
>How many people actually died in Earthbound?
Two less people than in Mother 3.
>>253029128
Oh yeah
why the fuck would they do that?
>>253029203
>that smug attitude that reeks of autism
yeah, it is pretty low, isn't it?
>>253029026
Mother 2 got pretty fucking dark towards the end, though.
>>253028716
>>253028760
>>253028948
You literally can't name it Mother 4 though.
That's copyright infringement basics.
>>253029064
Send them an email with links to the project and what it violates.
>>253029203
Maybe if the devs weren't cocky assholes I wouldn't have a problem.
>>253029324
Because it was shit and was copyright infringement.
>>253029128
>Square
Squeenix are money grubbing merchant, of course they're gonna take it down in a heartbeat
>>253027714
It's actually built from the ground up in C++
>>253029324
Because companies hate their fans.
>>253029286
>One more person
R.I.P buzz buzz lest we forget
>>253014761
Is it ever going to be released?
>>253029286
Well how many exactly? They made Buzz Buzz's death overly dramatic as a joke.
>>253029513
Winter of this year, supposedly.
>>253029203
It's an excuse to bait everyone else in the thread.
Seriously, read every pro-C&D post in this thread. It's not people who are genuinely mad at the game and trying to destroy it, they're in here because it's very easy to set bait with this topic of discussion.
Shit, they're sending reports to Nintendo. It's an easy way to piss everyone off and they can't do nothing about it. Perfect bait.
>>253029449
Well, you'd lose nothing if they made it, you know
>>253028162
>>253026931
Never.
Itoi said he didn't care.
He's openly expressed his disinterest in continuing the series himself and actively mentioned how he would like to see a game made by other people.
>>253029513
this winter according to them
Mother 4 is life. Mother 4 is anything.
Itoi said that it could be anything, from an experience to a stage play.
There are billions of Mother 4s. We're living in Mother 4.
>>253029657
Mother 4 fucking sucks.
>>253029387
As opposed to Mother 3, which got pretty dark all the time.
I mean, the original script for Tanetane Island was scrapped because Itoi couldn't stop crying.
>>253029026
Most of the middle of Mother 3 was overall decently humourous. It had stuff like Barrier Trio, Magypsies, Negative Man, that jar of pickles, etc.
I think now we need to propose subtitles for the game.
>Mother: You had me.
>Mother: Tell the children not to walk my way.
>Mother: I want to fuck you.
>Mother: Mother harder.
>>253029487
Oh yeah, huh. I guess his death is just so silly and anticlimactic that I forgot.
>>253029396
There are people like you in every MOTHER 4 thread. You aren't the first, and you won't be the last. It doesn't change that you're not changing or impacting a thing.
Itoi basically did the pulled a Conker and told us to make our own sequel if we wanted it
this is just the response to that
>>253028741
>It's obviously named Mother 4 b
It was named that before the interview when the head faggot was still in charge.
They booted the guy and restarted development with the same general idea. It was too late to change the name because the few people who did know about it knew it as mother 4.
Stop being salty you fucking faggot. It's just a name.
>>253028814
Mother introduces Giygas.
Mother 2 kills off Giygas and introduces Porky.
Mother 3 essentially kills of Porky.
>>253029713
Mother 3 starts dark, but lightens up the more you advance. The next really dark part of the game is the island and then the endgame.
>>253029708
>mother fans suddenly don't want a Mother 4 from Itoi
what happened?
>>253029724
>Negative Man being humorous
How did anyone think that was funny?
>>253029946
And introduces the dark dragon
>>253029946
>kills
nah, he wish
>>253028814
Mother 3 with Earthbound, yes.
Earthbound is definitely a sequel to Mother. It has the Maria plot, Magicant, and it's not farfetched that your parents are actually Ana and Ninten.
>>253029713
>doyouhaveasinglefacttobackthatup.jpg
>>253028814
Which goes back to >>253025421.
A Mother game isn't one that constantly references the past one, it's a game that stands on it's own then makes you go "Holy Shit" when you realize what connects everything.
>>253029752
>Mother: Mother harder
I vote for this.
>>253029713
>I mean, the original script for Tanetane Island was scrapped because Itoi couldn't stop crying.
What's this about now?
>>253029128
It was alsoa complete from the ground up remake.
Not a fanmade game barely related to the last games in a series that is KNOWN to NEVER be getting a next installment.
>>253030095
>it's not farfetched that your parents are actually Ana and Ninten.
That sounds like a fan theory, to be honest.
>>253030005
>We're living in Mother 4.
>>253029396
I dunno, you seem more cocky than the devs. Salty too.
>>253029396
>Send them an email with links to the project and what it violates.
Great.
Just sent notices to three different Nintendo email addresses regarding illegal activities.
Might send more using other emails.
>>253029570
Knuckles is "the black guy" of Sonic in the same vein that Piccolo is "the black guy" of DBZ.
>>253030257
>tfw you will never have PSI powers.
hey Mother fans, here some projects that are already done and/or pending and not C'nD

Okay, maybe not crying, but he certainly didn't feel too happy reading it.
>Itoi: I had a hard time with that island. It has that Moonside vibe to it, and it's like a mirror of the player's mind in that it reflects their worst nightmares. Even the temporary dialogue I had used there at first was so unpleasant I couldn't stand to look at it. So I tried to tone things down just enough by rewriting it. But that island definitely isn't pleasant at all.
>>253030009
His sprite was funny, and I thought the encounter itself was overall funny.
I guess his lines aren't funny by themselves, but it just feels so melodramatic that it's funny in the end.
>>253014761
>Non official game called mother 4
Its automatically going to get crapped on by the mother/earthbound community.
>>253030463
But it's not called fucking Mother 4.
That's the main problem here.
>>253029724
That fucking metal monkey, too.
>>253030560
Starmen.net's got a pretty big collective boner for it. It'll be fine.
>>253030116
I don't recall that cutscene being in the game.
>>253029613
The Chono remake? Square would. Their remake would have been compared to the project and be made obsolete.
The question is what would nintendo lose with this fangame?Literally nothing.
Just FYI the reason they called it Mother 4 is because Itoi basically implied he's not making another Mother title.
When asked about making another Mother title after he completed 3, he said, "If someone decided to make a Mother 4, I'd love to see it!" or something to that effect.
>>253030560
>Its automatically going to get crapped on by the mother/earthbound community.
Its automatically going to get crapped on by the mother/earthbound community on /v/. Everywhere else, I've seen nothing but hype for it.
>>253030646
Stay mad. Let me guess...you have nothing to contribute here other than "BUT IT HAS A FOUR IN IT?"
>>253030795
And that's when the developers decided "Hey! Lets rip off this game franchise for free publicity so that are shitty game will get more notice than it would have if we actually tried to be talented!"
And then they got hit with a C&D and never got to release their shitty game... Oops! That part hasn't happened yet.
>>253030830
>implying I'm mad
No, Nintendo, the fucking CnD monsters will be.
>>253031037
Except it's a completely free game so publicity doesn't matter whatsoever.
>>253030226
It would make sense. It's the right timeframe, and Ness is the chosen one basically. With PSI powers.
The Mom is never given a name but is blonde and you never see your Father. It is a theory but I believe it.
Another fun one is that the Ness Face in the Giygas battle is actually Ninten. At that point in time, Giygas had been defeated as Gigyue by Ninten, Ana, and Teddy/Loid, but Ness wasn't even alive at the time of battle, Not to mention he's a robot so Giygas doesn't know his actual face.
>>253030646
>muh title
>muh indie look
>muh story might be messed up
>muh gameplay
>it shit, waaaah
I love how mad everyone gets about the mere existence of it.
IT's a source of great humor with me.
