No, since they are rebranding it

Smart if you ask me.

>Floyd
>literally just Lloyd with an F instead of the first L

But user, he wears pink

What are they calling it?

Momma Shi?

source?

That's good if that's true. Calling it Mother 4 is asking to get in trouble.

No, they killed it themselves.
>last update was in September
>it was intended to release in 2015

They can't kill what's already dead.

D:

>Leo
Yes.

Is there any good Meryl porn?

this was their last update on twitter, relatively recent

No they don't even care about the Mother franchise, it is not on their radar anymore.

Do you think they will release all the files and engine when they admit they gave up?

I hope they can at least pass the torch

Didn't itoi say something along the lines of "If the fans want to make something, let them"? I don't have a source but I specifically remember a interview with a quote somewhere along those lines.

doubt it

Leo likes Mexicans?

Yeah, but ultimately I'm sure it's still Nintendo's decision whether they C&D it or not. And considering all of the other projects they have taken down in recent years I wouldn't be too hopeful about Mother 4 getting a pass but we'll see.

I don't think he meant literally steal my IP though

No he said he was aware of it and predicted that all of the "updates" they showed were them just lying about progress. Which considering it's supposed to release Winter 2014 he's probably right on the mark.

What the fuck is Leo's problem?

mother 4 reddit is the saddest thing to be honest

How do you kill that which has no life?

is this mother 4 or mother XL?

Hopefully yes.

Still, the pixels are nice

of course they will. and they should

Did i miss something? Did Nintendo confirm a new Mother game for the Switch?

C-Cute!

Would you be more interested if they did rebrand?

thread of that pic please?

I can't even remember, man, I'm pretty sure I clipped that myself ages ago. I gave it a search and nothing popped up. Have some more.

...

What a faggot

If they rebrand at least they'd have more creative freedom and no C&D. I say they should.

...

cringe thread material

IMO if they rebranded it as soon as the original creator bailed, I would be more interested.

Mother isn't just something anyone can pick up and do. It's like if someone wanted to make Citizen Kane 2 because they watched all of Orson Welles films.

Itoi is a very weird man. He's humble, he loves pop culture, and he has a very specific sense of Humor, even in terms of Japan. The main reason people love the Mother series is because Itoi made them very selfishly with Iwata's Help. He didn't try to Pander to general Audiences in Japan or America, and as a result all of his games flopped hard. But they are very unique RPG's because they embody his personality.

That's why Undertale kind of works as an earthbound-like, because it's mostly the work of one guy making one game/story with his own sense of humor and style. Not necessarily saying Undertale is the best RPG ever, just saying that is has Style and Personality because its creator is selfish and wanted to make a game for himself.

Mother 4 completely ditches this idea. Lots of these modern earthbound-likes do. They don't have an Itoi or a Toby Fox going full retard and injecting the entire game with their style. They are games made specifically for appeal from people who like these games - aka, Fan Games. Fan Games feel weird for the same reason Fan Films feel weird: because the creators lack the style necessary to properly emulate someone elses work.

Holy shit, I remember posting that post.

How're you feeling now, friendo?

stop being this pessimistic when we know nothing about the game beside some sprites

>Age: buzz off
>Hometown: What are you, a cop?
Is Leo a pedophile?

If you could gaze into the future, you might think life would be a breeze, seeing trouble from a distance. But it's not that easy. I try to save the situation then I end up misbehaving.

this is true though.

TL;DR: see pic related.

I've stopped caring about this and just games in general. Bullshit that keeps happening every other week, it feels like, where businesses play on nostalgia for the hobby, hipsters work on normalization of the hobby, and it just all feels fake to me. I haven't been able to discuss with people about games without it devolving into memes. And more niche games people just don't care about. Take a look at AGDQ and it's history, for example: it's a shorter version of what has become of gaming, I feel.

Maybe it's a wider scope of an issue, not specific to gaming, but I've given up hope on games.

Fair enough, hope you find some renewed passion soon.

something it has something to do with how unlicensed nintendo games get taken down and undertale selling so well as its like earthbound in a way

Thanks.

That Leo charter is just Teddy from Mother

With PSI. I-It's totally different, right?

I tried to find that quote in particular and now I'm reminded of how much of a pleasure it is to read Itoi interviews. There's always nice little snippets.

>ITOI: The feeling of, “I want a MOTHER 4 to be released!” is inside me, too. Even if it’s not something I need to do, I still feel that way. Still, there isn’t someone for me to watch over from afar anymore. If there were a fourth game, I’d want to be the player.

>NAGATA: In other words, you wouldn’t mind if someone other than yourself made it?

>ITOI: Right. For example, when I watch a good stage play, that’s MOTHER 4. Even if they never intended it to be that way. When I say, “I can’t get enough of this dialog!” you could even say that I, as a “player”, am finishing the world the writer built. Just as everyone finished the MOTHER games for me. So it’d be great if there were such “games” everywhere. They don’t even need to be games, though. If someone wanted to play it in game form, then go right ahead. If someone started making something like “Chimidoro-numa Strikes Back” (translation note: MOTHER 2’s subtitle was Giygas Strikes Back) and you could basically say, “This is clearly MOTHER 4, however you look at it,” who knows, I might just say, “In that case, why don’t you stick a red cap on him and give him a backpack?”

>ITOI: Like I said before, I’ve started to grow fond of people who like the MOTHER games, but to put that in a cooler way, I might say, “The very lives you’re living now are MOTHER 4.” I really feel that way. “Today we had lots of ridiculous thoughts, today we felt sadness, today we laughed a lot.” That’s what I had set out to do within the world of those games.

People took what he said way too literally. He never okayed a fan made MOTHER 4, he just said that anything could potentially be MOTHER 4 if it had enough of MOTHER's spirit.

When in the absolute FUCK is it coming out? I've been following this shit since 2008 and that's almost a decade ago, I've lost track of it but seeing it now makes me wonder how much longer you can delay any of this?

Is Undertale Mother 4?

More than Mother 4 is.

No
How are you still this mad?

(You)

That white hot rage and passion is what I miss so much, there's so much ironic shitposting or just passive aggressive dismissiveness.

Don't ever lose that, motherfucker.

Stop shilling your shitty ripoff faggot.

hopefully they're just going to be completely quiet until literally the day they release the fucking thing. doing anything else is just asking to get slapped down by the nintendo suits.

Mother fans are probably the most autistic fan base from Nintendo. I've never seen so much butt hurt, who gives a fuck about Itoi?

I'm not so sure. Earlier this week when Reggie was talking about Mother 3, he said it's a difficult franchise because it's not Nintendo owned. I think they might not have the power to C&D

it's obvious they're just not drawing attention to themselves because AM2R got DMCA'd and they at least want to put a finished version out before the Nighammer shuts them down too
I'm sure it will never come out, but that's pretty logical IF they're still making it.

It would be if it was an unknown, preferably nip hipster game like Yume Nikki. But since it became popular it's now "reddittumblr: the game". That's just how Sup Forums works.

(((pennyburg)))

more like shekelburg

For all you loser "devs" adposting here about your shitty game in the third person: please stop. Both posting here and making this shit. The reason Mother is good is because Itoi was an established, experienced author before making Mother. Just because you're the "witty and quirky oddball" of your high school art class doesn't mean you're qualified for this. It also takes an adult with actual life experience to convey emotions (aka LE EPIC FEELS) in a way Itoi was able to even in a kids game.

does anyone happen to have an updated version of am2r up for download? I only got the base version before nintendo made them delete fucking everything

what's your problem dude? The game could be alright, why the hell are you being so moody about it?

chill your fucking beans

>Sup Forums is okay with fan games unless it's Mother
I still don't know why you spergs throw a fit over this. It's in development hell but from what they've showed they are trying to be as faithful to the originals as possible. No one cares about the naming outside of a few autists here.

>No one cares about the naming outside of a few autists here.

>no complaints anywhere else for the most part
>last time a poll was done about the name here the minority said they cared
Again, just a few autists on Sup Forums
