Doesn't matter, lol. Won't be playing it.
Yes, if they want a game before Nintendo C&D it at last second. Just because it's free doesn't mean the owners can't strike it down. They would also have to drop items, terms and characters related to the series if they're in there. I see a lot of dedication in this game but they're going to have to something eventually to avoid any conflict.
>>339508529
No. Because it's the only game that's trying to be exactly like the older Mothers. Motherlikes might've been similar in tone or style, but Mother 4 is just a straight fangame.And it looks like shit
Thankf for making this thread OP, I've been looking for that image. I adore all these new narrative-focused indie games. I n my eyes, they are the only reason for PC gaming to exist anymore.
Wasn't Earthbound good because Itoi Shigesato put his life-experiences into it?
What's the point of a sequel without him?

Hey you know that really creative and unique game that has such a singular style. Yeah. let's copy it like 50 times then complain that big publishers are creatively bankrupt.
I still think Step Mother would have been funnier and more accurate. Missed opportunity.

How? By communicating to you via the colours on his tie when in interviews?
Itori said next time he wanted to be the player rather than the creator so tell me where exactly he gave approval for this RPGmaker abomination, where in your head have you twisted his words to justify this you fucking spastic?
>>339515648
It's not part of the Mother series. They're just pretending so they can ride the coat tails of an existing franchises popularity.
>>339515887
>being this anally ruptured
How does one entity carry this much fury over literally nothing?
>>339515648
because people won't let go, and thanks to Mother 4: The Fangame and the growth "Mother-likes", Motherfags are suddenly unproductive (only obsessed with the idea of a real M4 or an official successor happening) to keep their fandom in shape.
just look at all the shit Megaman and Sonic fans did, no reason for them to get hype for a shit game coming.
>>339513275

because he's mad his series is dead and fans are doing what they can to keep it alive some place else.
did you know Nintendo could actually LICENSE an unofficial product to their hands, like the same way Capcom license SFxMM to advertise the Megaman 25th anniversary?
OoT2D devs are currently under negotiations with Nintendo for a license as we speak.
>>339516618
>I don't see any evidence of Mother 4 being bad though
Mother 4 has never been functional, you can't ascertain the quality of a game that doesn't exist.
It's never going to (exist), by the way. The people working on it have no clue what they're doing, no schedule, and they've repeatedly lost significant progress and started over almost from scratch.
>>339508529

Except for the fact that people who care way too much about this make this very same thread on a daily/hourly basis so it's probably an old strawpoll.
Honestly people shouldn't give a flying fuck about Mother 4. It's a free fan game, if it never comes out it never comes out, if it releases it releases. Nobody loses anything either way regardless of its quality.

Why does anyone give a shit about this again? Is it literally just because they stole the name "Mother" from Nintendo?

If they had an ounce of creativity they'd be making their own IP instead of trying to piggyback off of a dead one.

Go back to bed, Mother 4 dev
Undertale and Citizens of Earth were both incredible, Lisa was good, Mother 4 hasn't reached a state where it can be evaluated and likely never will.
>>339518293
It's already cancerous shit, it's just derivative cancerous shit.
>people getting so asshurt over a free fan project that doesn't have any negative impact whether or not it releases because Itoi isn't going to make Mother 4 anyways
I don't get this. On the off-chance it's good we have a free game that gets the formula right for once. If it's bad or doesn't release oh fucking well, it was going to be free anyways. They don't make profit and cannot try to without getting a C&D. So to care this much about it or get so angry about it is meaningless.
>>339518167
No, things like Undertale and LISA are piggybacking off of Mother. They're just trying to make a Mother game.

I bet you're one of those retards who thinks Kamiya is a designer and not a director.
>>339518730
That's not an accurate comparison. In order to make it one you have to put it in the context that you are not making money off of it and the developers of Shenmue have stated they are not going to make another. It can also be assumed your Shenmue 3 is trying to be like the first two.
Which in this case I wouldn't care.
>>339508529
Man I hate this trend
I can atleast understand roguelikes and metroidvanias and zeldalikes being popular because atleast those revolve around a gameplay style
but these motherlikes are all just desperately trying to emulate itoi's style. Get some creativity and be the next Itoi, not just copy him.

>>339518525
>>339518909
Not at all, the tears it produces are great. So far the game looks good for what has been shown. I feel it will possibly be better then M1 but still inferior to M2 and M3. At the least I'm sure it will have an amazing soundtrack.

Hey fuck you it was great. I'm happy Itoi said fuck you to nostalgiafags in the form of Porky. I would have hated if 3 was just 2 again like 2 was just "super mother for super nintendo". Personally I love both 2 and 3 equally.

He's arguing for the portion of idiots who take things at face value and will actually believe Mother 4 is really, actually Mother 4 just because it's called Mother 4.
Of course, to think that /v/ would actually defend people like that is ridiculous, which is great since it backs up that anyone against the name is either a shitposter or an Itoi cockrider, who isn't any better.

I can only see an issue with the name if they were getting revenue. But they literally cannot without getting instant C&D.
>>339520745
Nobody would pay attention to this shitty game if it were called something else. The developers have no pedigree, the game has no original ideas, there is absolutely nothing to make it stand out.
I really don't see how you could disagree. Unless you're just taking a piss.
What makes you guys think Itoi even would give a shit? He's chill and has said he's just happy people still like mother. He has said he felt the development hell of mother 3 is actually the biggest reason we never got 4 accirding to him.

I don't give a shit. It's being released for free, so it's not like a publisher actively profiting off of a brand name or something. It's probably not even going to be released anyways. If the name of a free fangame bothers you this much you might be autistic
