Animal Crossing: New Horizons @ E3 2019 General Discussion

[Mink777]

Trailer Predictions-

1. September 2019- Will show off the amiibo aspect of the game as well as building places like the town hall and museum into the town. We'll see Isabelle, Blathers, Celeste, etc. Maybe constellations are shown here.
2. January 2020- Will show off the city/main street. It will be similar to City Folk, but you will have to fly to it. I think we may see the Able Sisters, Gracie Grace, Shrunk, and K.K. Slider there along with more. I predict it will be similar to how it was in HHD.
3. February 2020- We will get an entire direct. So much will be shown, so I'll just say that.

things to remember: you have the option to buy anything you could otherwise craft, so crafting isnt forced
isabelle has a 100% chance of showing up in the game somehow
the treehouse video showed only the very beginning of a town, so its obvious it will be bare
and that it will probably look different and improved in march. keep up hope guys!

 

[Chouchou]

I like it more after watching the treehouse stuff.
We don't need to panic about seeing 2 villagers I think they will expand naturally as you grow your Island.
I have lots and lots of questions right now but i'm sure we will see an Animal Crossing direct around september / november with (even) better graphics and more info about details.

I mean, where are the Able Sisters and where is Reese and where is everyone are they still camping??

Calm down.

- It was early gameplay
- There was 2 villager houses, maybe one more every day until slots are full
- "Oh no so much grinding with crafting" but like... Grinding to fishing/bugs to make money in other AC games wasn't grind at all..? '_'

I've always felt like there wasn't enough to do in previous AC games. Now when I could really decorate whole town/island sounds awesome. Well, maybe it's just me, I like crafting things. ?\_(ツ)_/?

So, now I know about this game. And thing is, I don't like the graphics of it, and the aspect of how the game plays. Yeah, its early in development, so it'll advance soon. Maybe when I hear more of the game it'll be alright.

 

[Lavender.]

Worst case scenario we still have our new leaf towns lol

*plays acnl in pain*

 

[Aubrey895]

I just seen it on the treehouse and I absolutely love it! I was too quick to judge

 

[HappyTails]

Delayed until March 2020! GAH!!!! *throws chair*

 

[Pellie]

Can we just talk about that one scene taking place in winter? Like how pretty the snow and everything
looks like and that the villager houses now looking much better than in New Leaf?

 

[Neechan]

Question, where can I find that treehouse direct...can’t find it.

 

[Campy]

Extremely excited for this game! Also can't wait to get back into this community, I haven't been active in years.

Loving the graphics personally. Did you see how shiny her character's hair was and how it moved while she walked? Amaaazing.

 

[L0g1c]

Aaaaand Villagers still don't wear pants. Yeah.

 

[HappyTails]

I like the idea of crafting items. It sort of reminds me of Stardew Valley/Story of Seasons.

 

[Dracule]

I LOVE the graphics; they?re so pretty and clean. That sunset shot during autumn was gorgeous, ahhhh!

However, I don?t know how I feel about the ?island? concept. I never cared for that aspect of the other AC games, so I?m a little worried on what we?ll be allowed to do. It seems that the island can get big and there are going to be plenty of villagers, but I?m so iffy on it :T. I also really want to have the option of QR codes too! That?s what made a lot of people?s towns different, so I hope they include that part. Overall, I don?t know what to feel... it?s like an expanded Pocket Camp to me (and that?s not necessarily a good thing), haha.

I watched the Direct and the Treehosue Live segment and I have to say I'm curious to see how it pans out. The graphics look awesome so far. It looks similar to the Mario Kart 8 track I think and the shadows and wind/moving leafs make it quite immersive.
I'm just missing most npcs and shops from previous games. Maybe they are in a separate are you can travel to with the plane? Maybe they have to be build, even though this might destroy the deserted island feel a bit.

A few other quick thoughts:
- The seasons in the southern hemisphere are now supported.
- There is no need for bridges anymore.
- 8 player multiplayer.
- Maybe the backpacks will have an actual function?

I found it (not too bad, but I?ll have to see more before i buy)

 

[kayleee]

At first right after watching the direct I felt disappointed, but then I went back later and watched it again and now I feel a lot more excited about it. I think it was just a lot different than what I was expecting, which is why I felt negatively about it at first.

Wow, just had the chance to see the Treehouse. It looks like it’s taking cues from mobile town builder games, which isn’t really my thing, but I also got the one thing I was really hoping for (outdoor furniture placement!!!). Towns in this game are going to look crazy diverse and creative.

I’m liking the visual design a lot now. Especially the weedy grass and light effects that express the Summer sun glare. It looks like the villagers wear real tops, too, and not the patterns!

Between the Southern Hemisphere option, the crafting being complementary to the shop rotation, and crafting DIY book, it seems like there was a lot of consideration put into user experience this time round. Having the option to wait for furniture you haven’t seen in the catalog or craft it right away is great, assuming we can expand the stores to a comparable size as the previous games.

Noticed a pretty glaring problem with crafting though. The most frustrating part of the last games was inventory management, so they expanded it to 20 slots...while introducing new crap to pick up. WEEDS are put in your inventory. It baffles me why the crafting stuff isn't its own section that isn't competing with the rest of the things you carry. I’m at least thankful that they appear to stack automatically.

 

[Twisterheart]

At first I wasn't that excited, but it is growing on me. I still have a few concerns but I am excited to see where things go as time progresses.

 

[acornavenue]

1. We still have houses yes?
2. Did we get new characters?
3. Where are the shops?
4. Maybe i missed it im at work & someone can explain the miles to me?
