The single-player looks like a fun bonus but I feel bad if any was planning to get this game only for it. That boss fight was so simple and short.

Also that levwl was literally just the tutorial section from the demo. I feel like most people are going to finish the story in under three hours.

I mean the Sunken Scrolls page in the Direct only showed 27 scrolls and there is one in a every level.

I feel like this is much more they can do with the squid transformation and ink mechanics than has been seen so far.

Yes, there will be a total of 14 maps for free by August. That is a great number in my opinion. Especially since the different modes change up the way you play on each of them significantly. We know there will be at least 4 modes by then as well. So lots of variation.

There's always the possibility for further maps as well either for free or as paid DLC. Either way it's a good number. Based on what we've seen I would say at least a couple of those post-launch maps are done (or would be done by launch day but weren't before the game went gold) and they just want to space release a bit to keep a steady flow of new content.

Is there any actual confirmation of 14 maps anywhere though? That's what it sounded to me to from the Direct.
 
I refuse to watch any of these videos.

I have a newfound willpower when it comes to games I really look forward to.

Whenever I think of spoiling myself, I think of what Judd the Cat would think and it's easy not to hurt him and myself.

Well it was the first boss

The penalty for falling is the same as the penalty for dying: you lose 1/3* of your current special gauge.
*It seems the demo gear decreases the special gauge loss thanks to an ability, so it may be higher (50%?) without it.

I can't find a better video at the moment, but you can see it has decreased:

Yep.

This is why it's better to try to Superjump back to your base instead. You still lose time if you do that but you also keep your super meter intact.

There are 12 maps accounted for in pre-release material: http://squidboards.com/threads/all-multiplayer-maps.148/

Yup - that's where I got the pics from a few pages back.
14 levels shown on the direct, while there have been pictures of 11 for Multiplayer and there's discussion that a modified Tutorial-Segment is a level too. (I'd think they'd show that one if it was, though, so I'm still counting on three unrevealed ones).

OP mistakenly put a train(?) map pic in the Port Mackeral spoiler. The preview pic does not match it at all, so there are 12 maps not counting the tutorial map.

Oh, alright. I see the difference now, didn't look too much into it before. So yeah, it's 12 then. Thanks!

Odd that I didn't see anyone commenting on that on the board though, huh, maybe I just missed.
 
If you look at page 3 in that thread, you see someone mentioning 15 maps in total, though I don't see how they came to that conclusion. I'm guessing there is a misunderstanding or something.

Someone also theorized that the multiplayer maps are also where you can fight Octarians in single player. I think that is correct.

No prob. I should have made it clear first that there is a mistake there.

The last few posts the thread mention it. It'll probably be updated tomorrow.
 
Do we want to take any guesses on these last two? I'm really hoping for a Subways stage after playing the Mario Kart DLC. I feel like it'd be really fitting, too, and they could play with the multiple heights / entryways for a pretty unique stage.

E: oh, I see it now, Kelp Dome. Nice.
