TGS 2023: FoamStars is a Surprisingly Good Time | Hardcore Gamer

FoamStars may look like little more than a Splatoon knock-off, but there's a bit more here than meets the eye. Foam does not work as one would assume, and the goal isn't to just spray over as much of the field as possible. This is casual, elimination focused game where foam is king and there's actually a lot of fun to be had.

This game looked interesting to me from the start, I always wanted a Splatoon that's not only on Nintendo.

Too bad this one is only Playstation. They're basically sending it out to die without multiplatform support

Vits238d ago

It sort of gave me Destruction AllStars or Exoprimal vibes. Like an interesting concept that will probably not work as well as it should because of an external factor. In this case the exclusivity.

Einhander1972236d ago

I don't think you realize how irrelevant xbox is for sales.

I went on Amazon to look at MK1 and you can see the sales rank,

The PS5 version is rank 31 in video games, the xbox version is 535.

Spider-Man is number 12, FFVIIR2 is 16, PS5 FC 24 is 35, Madden NFL PS4 75, Cyberpunk PS4 81, PS4 FC24 83.

There are ZERO games in the top 100 on xbox. So, even the PS4 is selling more software than any xbox console on Amazon.

Zeref236d ago (Edited 236d ago )

1st of all. I'm not just talking about Xbox. I said MULTIPLATFORM. Meaning ALL platforms. Including Nintendo, PC and Playstation. This is the type of game that needs to be on all platforms.

2nd It's well known that Xbox users are far ahead with adopting digital than PS5 users. Physical sales don't say much when comparing.

3rd. That's your regions Amazon. There's plenty of Xbox games on the top 100 in my region.
In my region Mortal Kombat 1 on ps5 is #17 and #31 on Xbox.
FC 24 is #2 for Playstation and #4 for Xbox. So yeah pretty close. And this is a region where Playstation dominates.

Not that that is relevant in any way. Just telling you there are differences.

Einhander1972236d ago

I want to see some pictures, you're lying, I'm in the US the best region for xbox, or just tell me your region and I will go to your Amazon.

Yeah, you're right though most xbox users have a last gen console with an SSD in it.

Einhander1972236d ago

I'll do it for you.

https://ibb.co/QYNm9hf

Here is the top 40 in the US, none of those games are even close to where you say they are.

How is this on PS5 and has worse looking graphics than Splatoon lol.

Oh and the game just looks overall worse than Splatoon, gameplay, characters, modes, everything....but yeah, the graphics and style looks shit.

blackblades238d ago

Who cares, the people are having fun and you over here whining about how it looks.

thesoftware730238d ago

Errrr, I mentioned,

"Oh and the game just looks overall worse than Splatoon, gameplay, characters, modes, everything....but yeah, the graphics and style looks shit."

You must of missed, where I said Gameplay, Modes and everything lol.

And yes, mostly what I can go by is how it looks for now. All of a sudden graphics don't matter huh, lol you funny...but you missed the mark if that is all you got from my comment. Read my comment again, and yes one more time, I expect better presentation on my PS5 over my underpowered Switch. If you gonna copy, I would expect better than what I'm seeing.

goldwyncq238d ago

This obsession with graphics above everything else is why most AAA games suck nowadays.

thesoftware730237d ago (Edited 237d ago )

Lol, you guys are really not reading, what's up with the comprehension skills? I mentioned multiple aspects of the game dude.

Read the comment again, and yes graphics absolutely matters...when game look like ass, we all comment on it.

@DD, you right, I love my Switch even tho it can't do 4k 60fps...lmao.

Foamstars Choked Hard A Mere 2 Months After Release; What Went Wrong?

With uninspiring gameplay, hollow live service, platform restrictions, and being outclassed by Helldivers 2, Foamstars didn't stand a chance.

RhinoGamer8817d ago

Played Foamstars for about 10 minutes, the presentation made it feel like game made for teenagers. All fluff and no substance.

kythlyn17d ago

The game was just flawed in concept. I don't know anyone that saw the initial trailer and thought they would really want to play it. No idea how they expected to build a large enough player base to sustain it.

Cacabunga16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

I’m actually glad this game flopped hard even as a free game.. sony decided to go gun blazing with gaas since Ryan took over and turned out to be a terrible decision that made them cancel their gaas plans by canning a number of games, which explains the silence from sony at the moment

outsider162416d ago

I tried to get online. Couldnt even connect. Deleted it.

MIDGETonSTILTS1717d ago

They tried to capture Nintendo and Fortnite players… good luck with that.

Magatsuhi17d ago

The game is alright but releasing a bit before HD2 was not smart.

Snookies1217d ago (Edited 17d ago )

To be fair, it's not like anyone expected Helldivers 2 to be so successful. So that was not something Foamstars could have predicted. I had Helldivers 2 pre-ordered as soon as I was able. I just really loved the first game. But it felt like hardly anyone even knew the franchise existed before the second game actually released.

notachance16d ago

same, I played the 1st helldiver to death with my mates but ultimately it was a niche product and I certainly wasn’t expecting the sequel to be this popular.

ZeekQuattro17d ago

This game was doomed from the start. Square's gaas track record is atrocious. They often times call it quits on these titles within the first year. Hard to get excited knowing that fact. Anyone half way paying attention to this avoided the game like the plague for that very reason.

Square Enix: "Why are we losing money? Why won't gamers buy our games in huge numbers? What's going on?"

Also Square Enix: *Forspoken, Foamstars, Babylon's Fall, mobile shit, makes limited FF Pixel Remaster copies for the PS4*

ziggyzinfirion16d ago

Limited FF Pixel Remaster PS4 physical copies still hurts me.

CantThinkOfAUsername16d ago

They still haven't recovered from Marvel's Avengers.
