Why does /v/ hate the Mother 4 fan game? Give me a good reason why it will be bad other than
>XD LOL you can't call it Mother 4!!!!
XD LOL you can't call it Mother 4!!!!
>>345419376
Because its fucking fan fiction you retard
XD LOL you can't call it Mother 4!!!!
>>345419512
And?
>>345419376
I don't hate it.
Itoi himself said he'd like to see Mother 4 made by someone else. Fuck off with this whining and look at how great this is looking to be
Seven gorillion delays.
It's going down the Mighty No 9 road but isn't giving enough gameplay for us to see that it'll be bad.
>>345419990
>he said fans could make a game if they wanted
>that means we can call it Mother 4
No you dipshit that isn't how it works.
The humor shown so far looks starkly different from the previous 3 games, not my thing. It also seems a bit presumptuous to name it Mother 4.
Fuck off until they decide to actually release the shit instead of trying to feature creep the game to death. It was supposed to be released like some 2 years ago. The devs are probably taking so damn long holding out hoping Ninty will buy them out.
>>345420380
Its exactly how it works
:V
It's just called Mother 4 to get attention. Naming it anything else would just make it feel like a Mother 3 rom hack.
looks fun
musics good
will play
>>345419376
non canon so literally no reason to play or care
>>345419376
I'm not autistic enough to care about the name. I hate it because the faggots have been leading everyone on for YEARS, but only started actually making the game about a year and a half ago.
Once it's out I'll download the OST and fuck off.
i think the idea with the characters having different level up instruments is neat
>>345420730
>>345420891
But what if it ends up being good? Just because it's not a real Mother game doesn't mean it can't have potential to be as good or even better than the actual games.
It will be shit
And calling it like a main entry is pretentious as fuck
Also the MC originally was a self insert
Garbage all around
>>345421239
it doesn't matter, if it's not a real acknowledged game it's like it didn't even happen
why would you care about that
>>345421239
It very well could be fun, I even expect it to be. It's just that I've been following this shit since 2012. I can't care about it anymore, I'm far too jaded.
>>345420380
>>345421391
...because people play games for fun? Not just to see the official Nintendo approved story?
I've never seen a bigger autism fit thrown over something as inconsequential as a number.
I've seen people who refuse to play this game simply because they called it Mother 4, claiming that if it was called "Mother Revolutions" or something equally generic that they would play it. What the fuck is wrong with you spergs? I'm still not convinced that this isn't just some dumb meme.
It looks fun/cute so far. Music's good and I like the art. Wish they had more actual programmers to help them with the project.
It's pretty much one guy, and the rest doing the art isn't it?
>>345421391
So your logic is, if it's not canon it's shit?
>>345419376
Remember when this was supposed to have come out in November?
What happened?
>>345422097
>That one Anon who thought it should be called "Mother 4 Me and You"
>>345419376
So when's this coming out?
>>345422097
b-b-but it's disrespectful to a guy I've never met who works in a company I have no stake in.
Because that apparently has some sort of impact on a game's quality.
>>345422217
not shit just meaningless and I've got better stuff I could do instead
>>345422097
I wouldn't mind if they'd helped create and worked on the previous 3 games, or at least worked under people who created them. It's just a bit off putting to make mid tier fanfiction to parade it around like the real next chapter of a story you had nothing to do with.
>>345422567
That makes no sense. If it's a good game why would it be meaningless to play? With your logic all games are meaningless to play because you don't really gain anything.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jGvIucQzUtQ
Skip to 36:30, around there Tomato literally says that Itoi is aware of both the Mother 3 fan translation and of Mother 4 and that he's cool with it. You M4 haters need to fuck off, fan games have always been a thing and thus is no different.
Seems weird to call an unofficial fan game a numbered game. If I were to make a fan game I would give it a subtitle or something.
>>345422945
>haters
go away chris chan
>>345422570
It doesn't even seem out of the ordinary for a fan game to call itself [insert franchise] 4, especially if its supposed to take place after the 3rd entry.
Do you get this mad about all fan games with a number in the title?
>>345422945
Don't hate the fan game, but I don't like the fact they're presumptuous enough to actually name it Mother 4.
>>345424093
Provide some examples of others that have done that. Majority of the time it's got a really alternative title or something that screams 'fan' or 'hack' altercation.
>>345422097
What if a different fan group makes another Mother 4? Which is the "real" Mother 4? Which one are you talking about when you talk about Mother 4? It just makes sense to not call it Mother 4.
You mean this hasn't been released yet? How far are they into development at this point? They have been showing stuff and trying to keep people's interest up for years now.
>>345419376
it's vaporware
>XD LOL WE HAVE LIVES AND THINGS TO DO!!!
>>345424268
Neither is the real other 4 you fucking sperg. Both are fan fiction. Whichever one you prefer would be up to personal preference.
Then if Nintendo came out with an actual game called "Mother 4", that would be the "real mother 4", but it wouldn't detract from the quality of the fan game in any way.
Canonfags are the absolute worst.
another misrepresented interview lines as excuse to steal a companies ip general.
>>345424601
Sure but now the fan game is just a forgotten game that nobody cares about because it gets eclipsed by the official Mother 4. It's just stupid to name it that but it's not a big deal I guess.
I'm still waiting for proof of past fan games that have done this, of course faggots defending this can't come up with examples.
>>345424908
>official Mother 4
Fucking delusional.
>>345424985
What?
>>345424985
While a real Mother 4 won't ever happen, it's still ignorant to believe naming your fan project Mother 4 is acceptable because you think the man behind the series said it was okay for fans to make the next game meant it could be named Mother 4.
>>345425180
>because you think the man behind the series said it was okay for fans to make the next game meant it could be named Mother 4.
I don't think, he literally said that. Fucking lol
>>345425237
>he said a fan game could be called Mother 4
citation please
>>345425237
>metaphors stop where my feelings begin
It's not mother 4
you can't just make your own sequel and call it mother 4
>>345425308
>http://earthboundcentral.com/2011/04/shigesato-itoi-discusses-mother-4/
I just come to these threads to laugh at you fags for taking this all so seriously
>>345425348
I've read this several times, maybe I'm blind, but nowhere does he say "call it Mother 4"
The only laughing done in these threads are by people like me who see how far you faggot will reach.
Pretty genius marketing tactic really.
>>345425348
>ITOI: The feeling of, “I want a MOTHER 4 to be released!” is inside me, too. Even if it’s not something I need to do, I still feel that way. Still, there isn’t someone for me to watch over from afar anymore. If there were a fourth game, I’d want to be the player.
try a little harder
>naming it mother 4 is disrespectful
namefags need to fucking die
it's a fangame, it's inconsequential to the actual franchise. the only people who give any sort of flying fuck are megadork faggots. i'm surprised this fucks with so many of you, jesus fucking christ. like for real, if you seriously, genuinely believe this is deserving of your concern, then you need a bullet shot squarely through your temple
>>345425348
>says Mother 4 isn't even about games to him anymore
>to him Mother 4 is his life and what he witnesses daily
>the death of Iwata was part of his Mother 4
"Hey guys we can make a Mother 4! The creator said so!"
You're basically spitting all over him and his dreams by allowing this to continue.
>>345419376
Name 1good mother game.
I'll wait while playing ASOR.
>>345425436
If he wouldn't want it to be called mother 4 explain >>345422945. (:
Itoi is chill as fuck, he realistically wouldn't care or would even think its cool.
I just want fucking consistency. Giving your game a subtitle makes it so you can differentiate it from other fan games. Plus, if you can't come up with a good subtitle then how the fuck are you going to make a good fan Mother game?
>>345425617
Mother 3 is the best of the series.
The only con I can think of is that it's on GBA.
>>345419990
He obviously meant someone who legally has the right to, and not someone infringing the IP like Mother 4. That shit is going to get hit with a DMCA before it comes out and then they're going to have to change the name and a bunch of stuff like spell names, so I don't know why they're even bothering.
>>345425701

>Itoi said it
>2nd hand from someone who doesn't work or talk directly to Itoi
Yeah, nah, you're retarded.
>>345419376
Because it's a blatant copy of Mother 3 made by uncreative developers seeking acclaim for just creating/copying something that already exists.
Shilling vidya fanfiction because these talkentless hacks can't come up with something original thread?
>>345425843
>Mother 4 autist
Yeah the ones who keep shilling this dead game just to rile up replies about their name because it's never ever going to be finished.
>>345425876
>shilling
It's free
>>345425550
Shill harder cunt
>>345424421
It has gameplay images and a trailer. One of the developers post sprites on /v/ every now and then. It seems pretty far in development.
>literally no involvement from anyone at nintendo or itoi
>pretentious hipster faggot devs calling it a sequel
Even Undertale wasn't pompous enough to try and associate itself with the game it was ripping off so hard.
>>345422567
You can say that about any game, because its a fucking video game you triple fucking autist.
>>345425943
Yeah, we were seeing sprites 2-3 years ago. It was also "pretty far" into development then too. Then they decided they wanted to revamp the combat and feature creep to death.
I was actually hype last year when it was supposed to come out and they released that trailer that looked really good. The constant delays is giving me the impression they don't know what they're doing.
>>345425959
And at least Toby's fanhack was something 'fan' sounding.
>>345422097
You can't expect me to bother with a game that on one hand claim to be a tribute to a game series while taking a huge shit on it at the same time.
>>345419376
Wasn't this supposed to be released already?
>Our fangame won't hold up on it's own, what can we do to make sure people continue to talk about it?
>>345426117
>taking a huge shit on it
Damn, anon got a demo and was able to try the game for himself and make informed opinions and not me. luckyyyyyy
>>345426082
Are you talking about EB Halloween Hack? Since it wasn't even really meant to get interest to anyone beyond the starman community.
Literally everytime

>>345425939
are you fucking serious?
90% of the reason this game still generates discussion is because of you fucking namefags. call me what you want but if i'm really a shill then your kind has me beat by fucking miles
>>345426241
Yes, is it surprising to see someone talk about fanhacks to the Mother series in a thread about Mother?
>>345422567
Hah, holy shit, I'm being baited so hard. Every fucking game in existence is fan fiction. It's all made-up, buddy. Just because one made-up game isn't made by the same people who made another made-up doesn't make any of them more or less made-up.
>>345420380
Doesn't Itoi own some of the rights to the Mother series? Is it his decision if he wants to DMCA? It's his IP, and he doesn't even make games anymore. The dude's a novelist and a really chill artist.
>>345426274
>Inb4 that one Namefag autist changes IP's so he can catch up in votes again
>>345426296
/lit/ would have a field day with your idiocy
>>345426324
Itoi doesn't own shit. Nintendo owns it. When he said "I'd like to see a Mother 4 made by someone else", he meant "maybe Nintendo will decide to make it, but I won't be involved."
Shouldnt be called Mothe 4 for one legitimite reason, it can or will be buried. Years ago there was this Sonic fan game that I loved called Sonic 4, but then the real Sonic 4 came out. Now when you google Sonic 4, that turd is all that shows up. The game loooks fun, the music is nice and the developers seem competent, I just dont want to see it disapear/buried if a real Mother 4 is made. Give it a proper sub title.
The biggest sin of this thing is the development time. It seemed pretty neat the first time I saw it but now I don't even care because the skepticism has sunk in and I don't even like the Mother series anymore.
The whole name thing is disrespectful, sure, but it's all mountains out of molehills because everyone and their fucking mother has made a fangame pretending to pass itself off as a sequel or legitimate entry to a series. In fact that's probably the high majority of fangames.
>>345426780
Not true I believe, in ssb4 Itoi's name is right next to capcom and sega's, he definitely owns part of it at the least.
>>345426820
This. Sure Mother 4 makes sense now but years down the line? Not necessarily, there is always the possibility that Nintendo will make a Mother 4 with new devs. Naming your fan game Mother 4 is just shooting yourself in the foot. Either that, or your game has nothing else going for it so you name it Mother 4 because it is what every Mother fan will be googling when they want to know about a sequel.
Shill general thread?
>>345426885
>everyone and their fucking mother has made a fangame pretending to pass itself off as a sequel or legitimate entry to a series
Yes, and they usually do this because their game is fucking garbage and they just want to cash in on the popularity by picking the next numbered title so they will show up when people search Game 4.
>>345426493
/lit/ is already here. This guy is a fucking spastic.
>>345427104
Oh I never said otherwise my point is just that everyone does this kind of bullshit so it's weird that Mother 4 gets called out for it as if people have never seen another fangame.I honestly don't think M4 looks too bad but it did miss the sweetspot of time before Motherlikes were the trend so I see a decent game that will look like a generic turd in comparison to its contemporaries.
Mega Man Unlimited was literally called Mega Man 10 before we knew there was actually gonna be a MM10, and nobody gave two shits about the name.
There's no fucking reason for anyone to give a shit. This is probably the most ambitious and only Mother fangame to be worth anything. They might as well call it Mother 4.
>that dev that came in to thank /v/ for shitposting
That teams alright. Their game will never be finished, but it's good to know they revel in /v/'s autistic tantrums.
Same tier as Sonichu. Hard to say it but even Memetale is above this crap.
>>345430213
I didn't know you got an early copy Anon. You must be so lucky
>>345430283
What? I don't need to know anything about the game, it is fan fiction trying to fit into the canon universe, and even worse, passing off as a sequel.
Another "sequel" in the same tier is Dragon Ball AF.
>>345430024
>viral marketer thanks himself for shitposting.
>>345430442
