I think this is why Epic laid off so many employee's.
The Foam is going to cover Epic.

I actually play Splatoon so I'm pretty satisfied on that front already.

Not in the slightest but I'd say the same for Splatoon. Not my type of game.
I hope it's good though for Square and the people who are interested in it.

When I first saw splatoon I thought the same thing but it hooked me.

Very much!
I was very meh when it was first introduced, but the overwhelming positive impressions from people who played it changed my mind. I'm looking forward to playing it.

I have the first on WiiU and yea, it's a solid game for sure and a brilliant take on a "shooter" but it's just not my type of thing. Not trying to knock it or anything like that.

This somehow looks worse and worse every time I see new footage. I feel like this is more of a ripoff of Splatoon than PlayStation All-Stars was of Smash. And it’ll probably be just as successful.
But hey, I’ve been wrong before. I’ll give it a whirl when I get a chance.

I agree. Square needs this for their balance sheet. I hope it becomes a hit. This game is for the splatoon and fortnite crowd so I’m not upset that it exists.
If it becomes a hit, it doesn’t mean that square would just start making GaaS games. One very successful GaaS game is all a publisher need and they will support it thousands of developers.
If it becomes a hit, their traditional development teams making RPGs will have more budget leeway to make a better game.

You know, I do like its style and hope it plays well.
But it has massive 'We have Splatoon at home' vibes.
Quite a lot does look like a rip-off of Splatoon, not to mention it being f2p.
In other words, it has all the ingredients to be a version of Splatoon that just doesn't get why Splatoon has been so popular.

Is it free to play when it launches?

Foamstars characters seems to be of legal age.

It's pretty obvious what inspired it, and copying an idea is not entirely flattering, but the entire gaming landscape was formed by some few innovative games but equally or even more by many copycats, that improved initial ideas.
I'd also still hope someone would bother to copy eg. Metroid Prime.

Not everyone wants to buy another console + another online subscription just for one game, so I don't really understand your question.
Plus it's not like if splatoon was enough to buy a console... some people might be interested in playing the game a bit, but it doesn't necessarily go beyond that.

It actually looks pretty fun tbh.
Blatant plagiarism aside, I like the energy it has and the characters and maps look decent.

Man I hate live service games, you know its just going to be there to abuse MTX sales and rope people in with FOAMO mechanics.
It's weird they arnt trying to release on PC, but then I realised its square Enix and their the only Japanese Dev who's not trying to actively Foster a PC community, its like they forget FF XIV exists half the time.

It’s a shameless rip off of Splatoon and has no personality or originality about it. I had the same feeling from the reveal that I have when I’m looking through the App Store on my phone and see those dog shit shovelware games.
