Super Mario Odyssey trailer (October 27th)

I cant wait for the dire...uh i mean mario odyssey guys! Right! Only an hour and 15 minutes left until odyssey cant wait, dont know anything about this direct people keep mentioning! Nothing to see here mods! But seriously i hope we get even a little bit of mushroom kingdom to play around in. How cool would it be to have toad village, peach's castle, than not far off from that bobomb battlefield all in the same level
 
One might call it... an indirect thread

Is it just me, or does the hype for this game feel rather subdued compared to previous Mario games?
 
The music sounds awful

Don't like the look of the hat mechanic

Some of the environments look really incongruous

I get a "see what sticks" vibe to the whole production

I dunno, I'm not sold on this at all, seems like a misstep. Hope to be proven wrong but I'm just not excited by this like I'd expect to be.

You could have atleast waited until after the direct

Game is looking tight af. Really digging the "big bang" music theme, the hat mechanic looks wonderfully weird and inventive. The environments and texture work look amazing and I don't see any problems with the production. Multiple worlds mean multiple different environments and overall themes.
 
Not at all.

I've seen plenty of footage, some of it looks like good ol' Mario but with nicer graphics, some of it just looks really out of place and poorly conceived.

That hat gameplay just doesn't interest me, purely from footage anyway, it might be a different story while actually playing with it.

There is nothing wrong with the visuals, they're really nice actually. And some of the environments look wonderful, but some (like the city) seem to be going for a realistic look that doesn't gel well with the rest of the aesthetic.

And I just don't know about the music, I've always loved it in Mario games but this sounds like nothing that's gone before. And not in a good way.

I'm sure it'll come out and be amazing but so far I'm like "yeah, this looks off and not like my beloved Mario gameplay." I guess we'll see.

Edit: hang on, this trailer is far more impressive than others I've seen:

It looks a lot of fun here for the most part!
