20 mins of gameplay from PAX

[tajikey]

All the comments about the game, and no one is mentioning how badly we need to be able to buy the shirts the reps are wearing. I'd rock that sucker every single day!

We saw new rooms in the museum we hadn't seen in the Direct. The stairs leading upward to nowhere makes me wonder if you can expand the museum to contain an art room and/or other rooms.

Also nice to see that trash has a use now.

The person in charge of that session stressed me out. She really limited how much everyone got to see imo :c and dodnt appear to know much about the game besides the controls as opposed to like... every ac fan ever o uo;;

That's how playing demos as these big events work. It's actually more annoying and stressful than fun. I lived in Japan during the year that the PS4 and Xbox One were demoed at Tokyo Game Show. The lines are super long for the demos (no exaggeration, it's like waiting for an amusement park ride) and you don't get much time to do anything in the games. And the demo people are constantly telling you what to do even if you felt comfortable figuring it out yourself.

I got stressed just from watching the video xD the lady in charge was really annyoing but I get it it's her job to limit what the player can see. Sad about the paintings... someone in the comment section pointed out that upstairs are only benches. The local multiplayer is so awful xD I hate the teleport thing and it's sooo chaotic.

OOOH! They went through the Nook Miles! All of the tasks in the scrolling menu are set tasks, but there are daily tasks in a different menu area.

Just watched it. I wish I was there I am jealoussss.

Concerned though...when they went in the museum where is the art section? Did I miss it?
And...they already had all the shops, but only 5 villagers?

It's just a demo, so it makes sense to want all the shops to be able to show them off. They also clearly put everything in the middle part of the island so I think they just left it at 5 villagers as to not put too much stuff in such a small space.

I also think the Art Section should be at the top of the stairs. There clearly should be a door there? They may have left it out for the demo or it was not unlocked yet.

Seems like the names of the new flowers are called "windflower" and "mum" (chrysanthemum)

Oh no that sounds horrible. If anything that experience would make me less excited for the game lol.

- you can still write messages on the switch (you dont need the app)

Well that's nothing new.

 

[BlueNightShade]

Where are my paintings damn it, I would be disappointed if they?re no longer in the game.

 

[bubbleblib]

Another short bit of demo, you get to see inside a player house in this one~

Seems like the Message in a Bottle returns, and their purpose is... they contain DIY recipes!

Man it just dawned on me the amount of loitering there will be in other people islands when I will travel will drive me insane. I will go nuts with furniture outside that do not belong outside like plushies, a full piano, etc.

 

[Cherrili]

Love all of this! Super excited for NH! Aaaaaaaaaaa- Can't wait much longer! ;w; Also, I like how reactive the villagers are? I dunno if it was a thing in previous AC games (as I haven't touched them in nearly a decade) but did villagers always react to your emotes? Like how Isabelle waves back at you? If so, it's nice to see it again in NH! If not, then it's a cute new feature!

I'm excited for the inevitable froggy chair islands where you must go from froggy chair to froggy chair to get around

I'm assuming you mean littering (though, I'm sure people will loiter, too), and I'm right there with you. Exisle (my Island) will have no weeds, and nothing left outside that doesn't belong. OCD has a stranglehold on my entire body.

They did, yes. My favorite was doing that little dance emote - they'd dance along with you.

Yup, I mean littering ! OCD also has a hold on my body. But my island will have lots of weeds ! The ground looks way too bare without weeds. I'd rather have tall grass like in Breath of the Wild, but weeds will have to make-do.

did anyone notice the new horse villager they scrolled past? we were so close to seeing her name on the map, i was begging for the person playing to just scroll down one more and go like Oops!

also i highly doubt players take villager slots. that would mean islands with 8 players only get 2 villagers.
