he added, joking that it would be “a great honour” if fans eventually give the genre a nickname akin to ‘Soulsborne’ or ‘Metroidvania’
See? They didn’t copy Splatoon, it’s a genre now.

He makes a fair point. The gimmick here of the genre is that projectiles are not entirely transitory and affect the environment and traversal. 3D "painter" games in short.
And 2D painter games go back over 40 years.

i bet they used Generative A.I. to come out with the concept.
"make the concept for a game like splatton but NFT friendly"
Title: CryptoSplatter
Concept:
CryptoSplatter is an action-packed multiplayer game inspired by Splatoon, enhanced with NFT (Non-Fungible Token) integration. Players engage in colorful, fast-paced battles where they control unique NFT-based characters called "Cryptonauts."
Gameplay:
1. **NFT Characters:** Each player owns and controls a Cryptonaut, represented by exclusive NFTs. These NFTs can be traded, sold, and even evolve based on in-game achievements.
2. **Blockchain Paint Wars:** Instead of traditional ink, players use blockchain-inspired paint to claim territory and battle opponents. Successfully splattering paint contributes to the Cryptonaut's evolution and overall NFT value.
3. **NFT Power-Ups:** Discover and collect rare NFT power-ups during matches to gain temporary boosts, enhance abilities, or unlock unique paint effects, adding strategic depth to the game.
4. **Tokenized Rewards:** Players earn cryptocurrency rewards based on their in-game performance. These rewards can be used to purchase cosmetic upgrades, new NFTs, or traded on external marketplaces.
5. **Dynamic NFT Marketplace:** The game features a dynamic marketplace where players can buy, sell, and trade Cryptonaut NFTs, paint patterns, and other in-game assets. Limited edition NFT events could drive community engagement.
6. **Leaderboards and Tournaments:** Compete for top positions on global leaderboards and participate in NFT-backed tournaments with valuable prizes, encouraging friendly competition and skill improvement.
7. **Community Governance:** Token holders have voting rights to influence game updates, NFT releases, and overall direction through decentralized governance, fostering a strong community-driven ecosystem.
CryptoSplatter aims to merge the exciting gameplay of Splatoon with the unique benefits of NFT technology, creating an immersive experience where players not only enjoy the game but also actively contribute to the evolving ecosystem.

I don't understand why they need to pretend like this.

As long as the netcode is half decent, it's automatically better than Splatoon 3.

I have no clue, but to condemn the game to a failure before it has released (even with positive media impressions and a fairly decent demo) is asinine to me. Especially when no one really knows what constitutes a failure to SE/Sony.

(Ugh, Draugoth, why?)
What Square Enix said is what is quoted, and it's worth reading that bit (if not the whole article) before arguing whether Square Enix's position itself is unfounded, because they did not say comparisons are unfounded. What Square Enix said was...
If you still think it's brash of Square Enix to say their goo-gun zone-conquer arena MP game is "a completely different game" from Nintendo's goo-gun zone-conquer arena MP game, this thread's for you.
CONTEXT TO KNOW BEFORE POSTING:
Square Enix did NOT say that comparisons are unfounded; that's not what's in the quotes from the article or even in the VGC headline. OP summarized it in a way that unfortunately is generating a lot of memes and scoffs, but it's not the words (or IMO the intent) of the article. or the game makers.What Square Enix said is what is quoted, and it's worth reading that bit (if not the whole article) before arguing whether Square Enix's position itself is unfounded, because they did not say comparisons are unfounded.
