Looked lame for about the first 30-40 seconds, until they started getting into the game mechanics.

Looks really interesting.

 

[Lijik]

The traversal looks really rad!! The music in the trailer sounded great too

 

[peakish]

Looks like a perfect LAN game, eight players screaming at each other over a room. If it's at least local MP it should be fun.

It's like some strange PC game from 1999 from the UK or France.

 

[Gangxxter]

This game looks very cool.

 

[Apathy]

This was such a surprise, and I really like it, seems, if nothing else, really fun, but also innovative. This is a must buy.

 

[Stone Ocean]

This looks so much fun.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Reminds me of a competitive De Blob, which is cool. I really like the idea.

 

[Bluforce]

This looks really fun.

 

[TheGoddamn]

The hit of a stellar presentation. The more they talked, the more I needed the game.

Shame that most everything is 2015, though.

Calamari of Duty

 

[Colorful Vocabulary]

This game stood out to me a lot. I'm always up for competitive shooters, especially these more unique/wacky types.

 

[Plinko]

The first shooter I've seen in ages with a shred of creativity.

 

[AlienKebab]

How do you even come up with stuff like this?

HEY GUYS WHAT IF PAINTBALL + SQUIDS + LITTLE GIRLS= GOOD GAME
''Yes''

 

[Sadist]

I wasn't feeling it at first, but the concept is growing on me. I'm okay with this.

 

[thenexus6]

It reminded me of plants vs zombies

 

[extralite]

Win based on conquered territory? Like in the classical strategy game from Japan, Go:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(board_game)

Anyway, game of show for me too. Nice change of pace from all the gore fests.

 

[daripad]

This game looks a lot of fun. New IP here people, there you have it

 

[diablo900t]

I think that is Game of the Show for me. Nothing else look even close to as much fun to play.

The concept of this game is brilliant. This is what real innovation is about.

Agreed! At first when I saw the trailer I was thinking kiddie tf2 or plants vs zombies. Unique looking game! I can't wait!

 

[Last Uchiha]

Great Idea
looks colorful and amazing like other nintendo titles

 

[kitsuneyo]

Seems to have a ton of new ideas. Hopefully a great new multiplayer Nintendo game to sit alongside Smash and Mario Kart. Really looking forward.

 

[Gilby]

This had the most interesting design of anything in the show. A game that's centered around shooting the stage is really unique.

 

[Croc]

man this looks amazing. One of the coolest things at E3 so far for sure

 

[Hobbestetrician]

Definitely in, looks like a blast.

 

[w1gglyjones]

Between this and Sunset Overdrive, I welcome our new neon traversal shooter overlords.

How many of your previous overlords have been supplanted?

 

[GRW810]

Online multiplayer? Yep, count me in.

 

[forrest]

This game was a welcomed surprise. A shooter based game on a Nintendo platform with lots of great gameplay ideas. Looks like a ton of fun as well. Curious to see how the Wii U holds up with 4 on 4 and all of the paint particles flying around.

 

[decoyplatypus]

The first shooter I've seen in ages with a shred of creativity.

You should check out Sunset Overdrive. It kind of looks like Jet Grind Radio with shooting mutants in place of tagging walls.

But yes, this game looks super fun.

 

[LoveCake]

Is there any single player or is it online multiplayer only ?

 

[Zero148]

looks absolutely amazing

 

[soultron]

Game of the show for me. I'm buying a Wii U Friday.

I can't believe how creative this game looks. From a design perspective, it's just nuts. I need this game ASAP.

 

[superbank]

This looked super cool, definitely a "Nintendo" approach to the genre. My only concern is the map jumping mechanic. My first impression is that it lessens the importance of proper team strategy/placement if you can hop to any teammate whenever you want.

Also, tons of fans from years back called this when they envisioned Mario Paintball.

 

[dlauv]

This game looks really annoying to play. And you look around using the gyroscope. By far the least exciting preview of the stream.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

The gameplay looked slow as shit.

 

[Dragonfly224]

I'll be keeping an eye on this game. Very cool take on a shooter!

 

[HoopzBarkley]

Calamari of Duty

Looked like they had kill streaks as well.

 

[Tarsul]

finally, an original take on shooters. Thank you Nintendo. Hope other developers take notice (bet we'll see some copy cats)

the only shame is that this game will have trouble finding a base although it is a shooter with a very interesting mechanic, which would normally be the nonplusultra....

 

[kittenbreath]

I think everything Nintendo showed off was a knockout but this was definitely something that stuck out and I'm really anticipating. My only concern is the control because they never explicitly stated dual analog but they did talk about using the gyroscope.

yeah, hopefully gyro controls are optional.

but otherwise this looks fantastic, and is as close to the platonic ideal of "nintendo makes a shooter" as could possibly be accomplished. overflowing with original gameplay mechanics, beautiful artstyle. I wish this was 2014.

 

[Rich!]

so this is like Tony Hawk's 3 on graffiti mode, as a shooter, by Nintendo?

sold

 

[90TilInfinity]

Was great to hear them talk about their game, I love their approach. It genuinely looks like alot of fun.

 

[jay23]

This stood out for me during Nintendo's event, looks really fun and vibrant.

 

[Shahadan]

I'm surprised GAF likes it. I came here expecting blind hate :lol:

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Genuinely thought "Oh, this looks fun" throughout the video.

 

[TheCongressman1]

I was very impressed by this game. It's just good fun, and in an interesting new way. The traversal mechanic is just genius. I can't wait to get my hands on this one.

And in a lot of ways it reminds me of Jet Set Radio. The turf wars, the bright artstyle and pumped soundtrack. Good stuff, obviously not a replacement, but it will keep me going.

 

[Elija2]

This is easily the coolest game shown so far at this E3 for me.

 

[Woo-Fu]

You should check out Sunset Overdrive. It kind of looks like Jet Grind Radio with shooting mutants in place of tagging walls.

But yes, this game looks super fun.

Is there footage of average gamers playing Sunset Overdrive? I mean sure, it looks great when you've got somebody running a level who already knows it top to bottom. What does it look like with somebody who barely knows how to hold a controller?

 

[pupcoffee]

When I saw the squid boosting through the ink, my thoughts were something along the lines of, "Here is Nintendo's multiplayer Vanquish."

 

[Gilby]

I think everything Nintendo showed off was a knockout but this was definitely something that stuck out and I'm really anticipating. My only concern is the control because they never explicitly stated dual analog but they did talk about using the gyroscope.

One of the devs kept making wii-mote gestures...

 

[Galang]

Looks great! The concept art shown during the video looks swell too. I don't think the style translated to the game as well, but the game still looks really nice.

 

[Off-Kilter]

Quite an interesting take on shooters! Color me impressed.

What you did there, I see it.

On topic, game looked like a very refreshing take on shooters. Love the way you can just swim in the ink.
