It turns out Foamstars is actually good?

Seems people were a little too hasty to write it off.

It's reveal being mostly cinematics is to blame

Eh maybe, i honestly dont think people were open to the idea of a “splatoon rip off” pair that with everything else about the showcase

Maybe, but Splatoon is a game that has no competitors in it's style, so reception to it might become warmer as time goes on

I didn't exactly call it but I wasn't down on Foamstars either. It clearly has mechanical differences from Splatoon and I thought the art style was a nice twist on standard Fortnite-clone shit.

Square might be sitting on a goldmine if they pull it off. They could make a mobile version too like Genshin. The asian market will go crazy for this.

I think this might be another lesson in not judging a multiplayer book by its cover.

I kind of remember a lot of negative reception to Genshin at first also, a lot of people calling it a BOTW clone

Guess we shouldn't judge a game by it's cover

Thoughts:

Fairgames looks like Ubitrash.
Its impossible to make your realistic shooter protag look iconic these days, no matter how much shit you glue to his face. (Helldivers, Immortals of Aveum and Hellwhatever the third one was being back to back to back promted this one.) Only solution is to go for a stylized look.
Phantom Blade 0 looks good.
2020s Corporate Art the Game. Also emotional blackmail indie trash no interest. You kill the dog 30 seconds in and actually expect people to care?
Lol, Cat Quest 1 was cash-in crap. How the hell did they get on this showcase.
Ahh well, at least Cat Quest 2 had gameplay, did any of the other ones so far?
This hero shooter thing looks fun. I will never play it and give it 3 years until death. Oh, its an S-E game.
I am on board for GTA-Minecraft. Oh, its already out on other platforms?
MGS3 remake was already leaked but glad to see it shown off.
Towers of Aghasba also looks good.
Oh, they actually put "CBU III" in writing on the FFXVI trailer, not usual for Japanese studios to do that. Interesting.
Its Dragon's Dogma 2, this time with actual characters and a plot!
"Not Actual Gameplay", don't worry FNAF, we already know from all the other trailers. Who keeps buying this shit anyways?
Its just a trailer but Marathon (which did NOT look like this in the 90s) has far more interesting visuals than all of the shooters this conference opened with put together.
What dev was Concord? Did I miss it or was that literally just a name with no further info including dev or genre?
Helldivers, Phantom Blade and Aghasba are doing a lot to save this shitty presser, but there's still 12 minutes to fit in Spiderman.
Are they really ending with a driving game instead of Spiderman? Oh, no, one more thing.
But first, its that shitty streaming portable. Lol have fun not selling any of those clunkers.
Unless they radically changed Kraven's look, this isn't Spiderman... Oh, no, there he is. Kraven confirmed. Game looks nice.

Yeah, there's some good stuff in there, but a whole lot of filler too. Gonna need someone to go through and separate the exclusives from the multiplats.

Paid-for marketing to make it the next best thing because you're told it's the next best thing.

They do this with artists; create media hype, sell cheap paintings for millions.

Lol my thoughts exactly

"Have you SEEN Foamstars?"

If this is a reply in jest, fair enough. If this is a serious reply, then buddy, you need to do some research.

Or maybe people just enjoyed the game

When I enjoy a game as a paid-for, well known game journalist/popular personality, I flood to Twitter to tell them how much they will enjoy the game. Bonus points for me because this game is aimed at the twitter crowd, just like fall guys and among us, were.

Now excuse me while I go make a long, fawning post on reddit about how much they will absolutely love this game. I'll run with the organic and 100% genuine headline of "Foamstars gets reviewed. You'll never guess what happens next!"

Responding with a gif that makes no sense is a perfect Gaf-post and proof you aren't worth interacting with.

When you respond to people in a completely condescending and belittling manner you can’t be surprised the conversation had already hit its peak.

It wasn't condescending. It was mocking your insincerity and/or naivety.
