Will it be good, or shit?
>>285099809
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as MOTHER4, is in fact, Fanfic/MOTHER4, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Fanfic plus MOTHER4. MOTHER4 is not a real sequel unto itself, but rather another free Fanfic component of the fully functioning Fan made game made possible by the original true renowed classic series called MOTHER, art style and gameplay components comprising a full borrowed fan game defined by, well it's technically a fan game.
Many gamers run a unofficial project from the Fanfic community every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the project of this Fanfic which is widely used today is often called MOTHER4, and many of its fans are not aware that it is basically a Fanfic game, developed by the Fanfic devs. There really is a MOTHER4, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the fan-made games they use.
MOTHER4 is the fan game: the fans in the community that allocates the original resources to the other Fanfics that you run. The Fanfic is an essential part of a Fanfic community, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete original series. MOTHER4 is normally used in combination with the Fanfic project: the whole project is basically a Fanfic with Mother4 added, or Fanfic/Mother4. All the so-called “MOTHER4” distributions are really distributions of Fanfic/MOTHER4.

I'm hoping it ends up good, and it seems it will, what we've seen so far looks good, but I'll stay wary
Here's the new gameplay trailer for those who haven't seen it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qtQWUF6-Co
>>285099895
Thank you. Captain Obvious, for not giving us a simple and short answer.
>>285099895
Wow, you're mad as fuck.
>>285100095
>you can check out the hotel during the night
Neato.
I honestly think it'll be good, they legitimately are putting their heart and soul into this and aren't afraid of delaying the game if something's not right. But no matter how the story will end up being, "purists" will always come up with something to nitpick with any way, shitting up any Mother 4 threads that may come.
The name did miff me early on, but not as much as everyone else. I just learned to let it go.Opinion from someone who played all three games.
>>285099895
Is this what they talk about when they talk about obsessive and mentally unstable basement dwellers on the internet?
You are in every single thread making those comments like you are waiting for the opportunity. Man you are fucking sad.

shitposting's gotten too deep for me, i'm out
>>285101285
nice shitpost, bait-kun :^)
>>285100095
This anon pretty much nailed what I was going to say.
How long until the autist comes in and starts shitposting?
it won't even see the light of day
>>285101697
People have been sending those for years, anon
>>285101697
Sorry, even this got released on the WiiU even though it's pretty much an unofficial sequel
>>285102009
Not him, but that's a terrible comparison
>>285101697
Nintendo themselves said people can make fan games with their IP's, they won't send a takedown notice unless this stance changes.
>>285099895
Nice pasta.
>>285101697
Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about free projects. If mother was to be sold it would have already been gone.
>>285101697
1: Nintendo allows non-profit fangames.
2: People tried to do the same shit you're doing for fucking years now. None of them worked.
3: You were actually mad enough to type all that down, which is fucking hilarious to be honest.

>game probably take place in the 70S
>i didnt saw the modern men so far but a modern mind that look like ''the thing''
>also ''pleiades'' in japanese is pretty clever
i have no opinion about the name i only judge on the content.so far its great but the story is the major point of a mother game, so they need to deliver
OP stop shilling/shitposting

No idea. Looks good to me, but things can always go wrong.
OST will be pretty great though.

Man I am really sick of people saying things like "the implications are gross and dangerous". What the fuck does that actually mean? Are you just trying to say "I don't like it" in a more obtuse and pseudo intellectual way?

>Asking a completely unrelated dev about a fan game inspired from a well-known Nintendo series
People can be so fucking dense some times.
>>285102484
I hate the way he's saying it, but I kind of agree with what he's saying. It is pretty arrogant to make a fan game, even if it is well crafted, and give it an official title.
God I miss Jak and Daxter, but I won't be firing up Maya and Unity and trying to make Jak and Daxter 4, even if I knew I could make it as good as the original games.
>>285102484
Hmm. Kind of agree, without the problematic phrases.
>>285102728
well kekkle me jej, a twitpost I actually like

People just like to over complicate simple things to make themselves sound smarter, most situations in arguments.

>>285102295
oh but anon , Nintendo does care, especially if your claiming it to be a direct sequel. In about a week the game won't even exist. It was nice knowing you motherfags
>>285103534
>Noa Legal
You couldn't even capitalize their initials right. Nice try, though.
>>285103534
>basically fuck off, we dont care
>>285103534
Tattlefags, everyone.Are you really serious though because this project has been on the run since centuries, you really think Nintendo doesn't know by now?

Groovy is tied to a meter around their health box in the gameplay trailer. Apparently it can be filled during the enemy turn to interrupt it.
>>285104823
Aren't you adorable.

you are right, i didnt notice that

>/v/ super hyped because the game copies so much from the older games
>Criticism of this game not allowed on /v/
Sure OP, I'm looking forward to you spamming this thread constantly until the release day.
It'll have the same problem all sequels made by fans of the originals have.
That is, it'll be too busy sucking the original work's dick to actually do anything new with the franchise.
>>285104823
>mfw mother4namefags are literally this autistic.
Let's discuss the game for real though.
What do you guys think will be the theme of the Modern Men and Mother 4 in general? From early screenshots of the game back on the old website, the theme seemed to be inanimate objects becoming alive. Not sure how much that has changed.
>>285105307
These people aren't professional game designers. I'd rather not find out how much they can ruin this game and would rather see tried and true mechanics.
>>285105356
forced progression or time travel since there are modern men
>>285105401
That doesn't change the fact that this is a very real problem.
>>285103534
go outside
>>285105307
They definitely seem to have added some new mechanics (Groovy, Day/night Cycle, Travis hit back). although they seem minor, I wouldn't worry too much about staying too close to the original work since the Mother series gameplay's very simple.
>>285102484
>robbydudes a faggot
surprising absolutely no one
>>285106923
Never heard of him before this, what'd he do?
>>285107089
some faggot who does shitty mspaint scribbles
>>285099809
I'm playing Mother 1 right now and what do I do after the zoo?
I love all the mother series and Itoi but what does his opinion matter anyway? I don't give a fuck if the dev is arrogant if he can actually deliver a game on par with mother 3.
>>285108931
I don't think itoi has had any words on this. Has he? If he did, I don't think he would be that upset.
>>285108931
i just hate people who think only itoi hsve good writing skills
>>285109069
I don't think he did either my point is just that petty shit like that or them naming it mother 4 shouldn't matter if they can actually delivery.
God fuck you people you don't even play the stupid series and just want to shitpost about this stupid fan-game who misinterpreted the creator's words.
You faggots won't even answer my question about the fucking series >>285108064
This game looks like fun. I still need to play the first Mother, Earthbound, & Mother 3, just need free time. Gotta love emulators.
>>285110331
thats because most people skipped mother 1/avoid thse threads because its mostly shitposting
also podunk
>>285110602
SO YOU NEVER EVER PLAY A SINGLE MOTHER U SOB ILL FUCKING KILL YOU YOU STUPID SOB FUCKER FUCKING FUCK VIRGIN FATSO FUCK
>Motherfags being so autistic they take Itoi's words literally
>>285110602
play the patch version
>>285111214
>people think they made it for itoi
>>285111336
I heard about the patch version on the GBA version, right? They put an item in there to make grinding easier, didn't they?
>>285111795
double exp and money from enemies
>>285102484
>THIS mad
oh god, it's hilarious.
>>285111925
Very nice. Is it really that bad without it?
It's kind of pretentious and disrespectful.
I'll probably avoid it upon principle.
>>285111336
If you really think they didn't make this game because of that interview, you're crazy.
I want to fuck Lucas.
>>285100095
Meh, I'm fine with it but it really doesn't need to be called Mother 4. This is DLC tier.
>>285101697
Lel, Mother isn't trademarked in America, you absolute tool.

Something that bothers me is how there are 3 PSI users. Wonder how they're gonna make it so the characters are as varied in skillsets as possible.
>>285099809
Earthbound and Mother 3 are two of my favorite games ever, this looks really promising. I'm hoping it revitalizes some interest in the series and we get another Itoi Mother game, preferably on 3DS.
>>285105296
what indications
have you been to a secret gamer club that can play mother 4
>>285113832
>3 PSI users
like earthbound
and zack who doesnt use psi
>>285113940
>we get another Itoi Mother game
its dead jim
>>285105356
Pastel basically said on Starfags that everything old is gone.
I'm betting the modern men are like transhumanist cultists or MIBs.
>>285114035
>its dead jim
hurts even more that my name is actually jim
>>285114135
That kinda sucks, I liked the theme of inanimate objects coming to life. Needless to say, transhumanism is probably the most likely (and better) option.
>>285114332

It's a hermit crab that made its home in a soda can.
Alright real talk? I'm excited. I don't care if it's not canon or pretentious or if the devs are all a bunch of phil fishes, it looks like it'll be an RPG with a fun setting and cute graphics and it might have an interesting enough plot. It sounds like a bunch of conspiracy shit.

I can't even fucking tell who's trolling and who's being serious on this board anymore, it's getting way too meta for me.
>>285115036
This. I just need a fucking rehash of Mother 3, i need more of that cute-seyness. I need more of exploring weird little towns. This game looks great so far and pretty fucking large as a game, bigger than Mother 3 for sure, maybe not as large as Earthbound though.
Travis lewds when?
>>285115182
>meta
Is this the birth of an epic new meme? Respond to shitposters accusing them of meta?
Wait, shit, you're being meta referrential too aren't you
>>285115284
Has anyone actually asked Pastel how long the game's gonna be, or at least how long they expect it to be? I wouldn't be surprised if it was as long as mother 4 and shorter than earthbound, but who knows.
>>285115662
The AMA says about the length of Earthbound.
>>285101697
>tfw it been more than 6 years

Ha, man, I remember when the Earthbound purists did everything they could to kill the fan translation. There were DDOSes and everything.
>>285116050
>when the Earthbound purists did everything they could to kill the fan translation
>>285116289
They felt it was unfair to Nintendo to "kill any chance" of a public release, and some others felt that Earthbound should never get a sequel and were glad when Earthbound 64 was canceled, because some people are fucking insane and petty.
>>285116050
>Earthbound purists did everything they could to kill the fan translation. There were DDOSes and everything.
I guess that explains all the autism surrounding mother 4, jesus
