Wait, what? It's gotten an update in a blog. Nothing in that blog touts it as one of Brawl's "biggest features". Tonight is the first night we have heard about it, and it has gotten just slightly more attention than most of their other blog updates. It's not like they gave it a press conference or anything, so I fail to see how this leads one to conclude the fate of online play...

All except this being the greatest thing ever, I guess it isn't being touted by you guys.

Right, and we are the ones who decide the fate of online play, I guess then?

Actually you have me there, you guys will take it with or without online play and won't go after Nintendo for slashing the most touted feature the game has.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1755 on:** August 02, 2007, 09:02:48 PM »

Guys . . . listen GP is right.

So is everyone who says Brawl won't have online.

This was THE LAST UPDATE.

Brawl launches tomorrow there is no hope.

Oh wait . . .

Wait, how did this change from a discussion of them touting single player as one of the "biggest features", meaning somehow online was cut, to how we feel about online play being there or not?

So, as to not focus on the current argument, does anyone think that there'll be more expansions on this? I mean, the trailer was just a follow up to the "This World" post.

Yeah, but we're not making the game...so Pap's theory makes no sense then. The actual development team has had about 99% of their updates on multiplayer stuff, and only one on the single player. I don't think that's "touting".

Forgot to mention in the other post is that GP is simply preventing you guys from getting over excited over something that we don't know how will work in the end.

I mean sure it looks cool, but will it be fun? Single player adventure modes in fighting games have been notorious for not being that good (the adventure mode in the Tekken games come to mind). What makes the single player mode in Brawl any different?

As S_B will tell you hype can get your hopes up in the biggest way possible. When that thing doesn't meet your expectations the disappointment can be devastating. The single player in Brawl sounds really neat, but again we don't know how good it will be.

In short, despite how exciting something may sound its best to have a neutral way of looking at it. That way, if the thing is better than you expected it will be far more enjoyable and if it sucks you won't be as heartbroken.

You know the news that we should get excited for? The announcement of a fully working, 4 player online mode without the use of friend codes.

Now THAT is worth going crazy over.

I think so, we only got the tip of what seems to be the intro cinematic, or at least the cinematic for the single player adventure mode.

I was so happy to finally see a movie update but now I want more haha.

Edit: Sorry pap but we don't need excitement police on the forums. Just my opinion.

I would actually call it stealth trolling at this point.

Nah, I think they just want to give a glimpse. The game's coming out in a few months, they'll probably want to leave it until then. Maybe they'll have a profile on the punching bag-esque guys.

Small note, but it seems like they're holding onto the old Zelda and Peach voices, even though I believe they've changed actresses in both series.

That is the one feature that I WOULD get excited over because I could finally beat the crap out of Mashiro and Arbok.

It's not stealth trolling. All Nintendo fans are innate pessimists.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1766 on:** August 02, 2007, 09:08:17 PM »

Lies Carry-on! You know I am optimistic about there being online play.

Yeah because what I said was so flame worthy. Give me a break. If I have a problem it is being realistic and waiting for something more substantial to point out. To call that trolling is being snobbish to be honest, because I fail to get excited over something I know little about and share that opinion that doesn't align with yours, then that must mean I am just trying to bash the game right?

I'll be very mad.

but hey guess what?

THERE ARE STILL 85 DAYS WORTH OF UPDATES COMING. THERE ARE STILL 2 MASSIVE GAME CONVENTIONS COMING.

There is still time for the announcement people.

GP stop being an idiot. All of us want online multiplayer, and all of us will go absolutely apesh!t if there isn't any.

EDIT: Me specifically. My best friend is moving 3000 miles away. We still play Melee all the time.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1772 on:** August 02, 2007, 09:13:01 PM »

I've said on multiple occasion (IRL and on these forums) I will be mad if online is axed.

Who WOULDN'T be mad if online was axed.

Classey, really classey Dirk.

Mashiro · « **Reply #1774 on:** August 02, 2007, 09:15:57 PM »

He's right though, you are making out like just because some of us didn't get absolutely pissed over clones in Melee that we will just be ok with certain features (or lack of features) in Brawl such as online.

Unfair assumptions my dear.
