Which isn’t too surprising considering the fact that not only is Pearl Abyss a Korean game studio, but also kids love KPOP. But whereas I think the Inklings in Splatoon can be kind of cute, the children in this game look like soulless hobgoblins who are bound and determined to terrorize this metropolitan cityscape.Īnother thing that you’ll notice right away is the trailer’s music. It’s already easy to see that Pearl Abyss drew inspiration from another incredibly popular game among younger people, Splatoon. The first thing that became readily apparent upon seeing the new trailer was “Holy shit, this game is creepy looking.” The strange mix of (ugly?) cartoonish children and the very realistic looking environments was a good introduction to the kind of whiplash I’d come to witness over the next 3 and a half minutes. DokeV however… seems like an entirely different kind of monster. I even think TemTem looks promising, but never checked it out. And honestly… I think I’m just too old to appreciate this… thing.įor the record, I’m 36 years old, and I too was once a kid who was obsessed with “Pocket Monsters” when they made their debut overseas in the late 90s. It’s not that I can’t imagine a younger audience enjoying this game, because it does seem to be targeting a very specific generation (zoomers), but it’s also something that when I was watching the trailer, I just felt like it was a full on frontal assault of the senses. But now DokeV has made its reintroduction into the public mind, and it’s… really… something. I think TemTem had a brief window of hype around it when it came out, but I haven’t really heard anything about it since. Which, if you were paying attention back when Sword and Shield were coming at, were a lot of very angry, loud people on the internet. The thing that both DokeV and TemTem shared in common were that they both looked like promising alternatives for people who were tired of Pokemon. At the time, another game, TemTem was close to coming out too. I first heard about DokeV back when Pokemon Sword and Shield were first coming out. Well, here it is, but it’s not quite what I, or probably anyone really expected. You know, how everyone said for years that Nintendo/Game Freak/The Pokemon Company should just make a Pokemon MMO? A take on the popular Pokemon franchise, but in MMO… or “Action Open World Adventure” form as the developers are labeling it as. Yesterday Gamescom: Opening Night Live 2021 happened and with it a cavalcade of new trailers and announcements for a number of different games. This kid is firing rainbow confetti shrapnel into my sinuses.
