Anyone got the filesize to hand?
I´ve been checking the major retairlers´sites in my city and it seems there are some available. Hope I don´t get any nasty surprises if/when I actually go to the shop.If you decide to try and get one today, good luck. They're super scarce right now.
Yeah, this is a game where the whole team wins or loses, so just try to ink as much as possible and have a good time, killing enemies helps but is not what the game´s about!To all new players, you are going to play a sequel of a very special game. You will probably be destroyed by veterans, but don't be discouraged since these people must have played hundreds of hours to be that good. Just have fun and enjoy the game.
Stick with gyro and you shouldn't have much of a problem.Never played the first Splatoon and haven't played a console FPS since Halo 2.
Preparing for several hours of getting viciously inked over the weekend.
I'll post these in this thread too, just incase they are helpful for anyone.

Thanks CDX.
I'm curious about how this staggered testfire works though. Is it only on for very short periods of time? Like literally one hour? Seems ridiculous if so.
So... I should expect perfect server functionality or else panic? Gotcha, thanks for the heads up!Just in case...

No.. salted squids are a delicacyTo all new players, you are going to play a sequel of a very special game. You will probably be destroyed by veterans, but don't be discouraged since these people must have played hundreds of hours to be that good. Just have fun and enjoy the game.
One hour per session, yes. It's a stress test, not a beta.
(Well it is technically a beta, but not in the same way other companies present them now)
Newbie tip: In Turf War, the team with the most ground covered wins, not the team with the most kills. You can play backmarker and paint everything the rest of the team missed and more often than not, end up the top scorer for the team.Excited to finally play a Splatoon game.
I'm going to die so much. Lord watch over me.
Very interesting. I've been in tens of betas and tests for every type of game and never seen it done this way.

Christ, calm down. It's not a problem. I'm literally just saying it's interesting. I always guessed that online beta tests inherently including stress testing in opening minutes and peak times, but hey.

You're not taking part in stress tests then, or just some taking place during pre-existing betas, which still would happen in an arbitrarily short time frame because that's what fucking stress tests are. That's great, let's talk about this again and again for no reason.
That's probably because the bulk of the 'betas' and 'tests' over the past decade and change are basically 'marketing betas' where they're trying to sell you on the basically-final product. At least, that's been the case for all but, like, four in which I participated - and those four were closed betas w/ NDAs.
I wonder if we will be able to explore the Hub or just the battle screen
In the first Testfire I think it was a quick training and then on to the battle screen.
Right stick still locked to one sensitivity slider then... X and Y axis can be inverted separately. The issue with the first game was that the vertical sensitivity differed to the horizontal and there was no way to adjust it. Looks like the same problem could occur. It felt horrible to aim using the stick, but I hate gyro controls. I'm hoping the pro controller this time will help though, no more loose sticks.
Colour lock...?
Is this so the colours don't change in future matches?
Take your Switch with you and play a few matches in the bathroom.Can't make the 8pm one tonight :/...my family wants to have dinner at a Greek restaurant. I mean free food is nice. But it's splatoon >_>
So here's the thing: I'm pretty solid normally with shooters on a controller, and I felt totally competent controlling original Splatoon that way, but a friend who played primarily with gyro controls was able to easily keep pace (if not regularly stomp me) in situations where we'd normally be reversed.
Consider training yourself up with gyro. I don't love it either, but I've seen it work.
Why did they lock the Y axis with gyro again? At least give us the option to have it unlocked, come on.
Everyone plays with complete randoms, right?
No way for friends to join the same server?
