Funny enough, Playstation DID have a life sim service called Playstation Home that lets you play as an avatar, meet other people, dress how you want, and even decorate your own house. It was F2P too.
And there is another one called Hokko Life. And is pretty good by the way, the editor for create furniture and share it online (with cross-play) is quite fun.
Yeah, it feels like the whole thing is just another AI scam. The indoors screenshots have a bunch of nonsense items that are basically a blurry mess. I wouldn't doubt the entire thing is just AI-made screenshots, since even the perspective is pretty messed up for a bunch of stuff on a lot of the images.
Yeuppp Although, some of the images do look in-engine where's some consistency with assets and textures (even if maybe they still are AI assets) e.g: the clock in one shot. But some other entire screenshots are blatant slop So now it's just inconsistent lol
@@SilverTomMedia it's 100% a group of people finding a 'gap in the gaming market' and then generating a bunch of images for said idea, seeing how many people sign up / wish list the game, and then they either develop something 'similar' to the images they attached, or if it doesnt get traction, they delist the game with no harm done. People do not realize how decent ai is at getting consistency now - if there's one artifact of it being ai most likely all of it is
Consumers and companies alike think that being Nintendo is just mind-numbingly easy, but there is dedication, artistry, techique and craft to all the games they put their name behind. I just love watching all companies fail at things Nintendo makes look easy.
That’s basically what happens when companies try to piggyback off another’s success. They focus on only the flashy stuff but not everything else. Take Shrek for example; other studios tried to make subversive parodies of fairy tales because “that’s why Shrek succeeded” without realizing Shrek had a likable cast, great story, and heartfelt moments that added up into an amazing film
And it's funny when people then ask why Nintendo takes so long to release a new game in franchise X. Nintendo as a corporation can do crappy things. It's legal ninja are definitely from a shadow clan. But as a game developer, they are truly guided by their hearts and work with pride, not shareholder value, in mind.
I agree so much yet everyone wants to make fun of Nintendo, yet no one can even come close to the quality of Nintendo. Their games don’t only just look good but they play good and anyone that has played a Nintendo game can tell you literally no other game can give you the feeling of playing a Nintendo game. So glad and proud to be a Nintendo fan!
Its such a common rhetoric i hear from daniel specifically. Its really irritating and i wish more people held them more accountable from game mechanics that are inherently antigame and are super greedy and overpriced.
@Yoshizuyuner I sincerely don't mean any offense, but the problem is there are too many people who defend this stuff. As long as there are people who enjoy and defend AI rendered garbo, or just blatant rip offs, companies will keep shoveling it out.
Anime isn't about being "kawaii"; I mean, it's like they're saying Japanese is about being ninjas or American is about being Donald Trump. It's an art style made in a different country differentiating from other media art styles like cartoon. Besides, anime can be cool, sexy, scary, weird, etc other than just being "kawaii", and Animal Crossing isn't an anime either, which I doubt whoever's making the game understand what the hell it is anyways.
I've actually caught this exact same company on the PS Store before- they were listing a game called "Monster Hunters" with an AI-generated screenshot that looked exactly like Monster Hunter Wilds- I think it just got taken down so this one probably will too!
The fact that I assumed the thumbnail was from New Horizons is crazy. I’m a huge Pokémon fan so I never understood the Palworld discourse but there’s no argument… that’s just animal crossing.
This is worse than Palworld, but there's no defending Palworld, either. The people who claim Palmworld wasn't a ripoff of several games, including Pokemon, are either fans of Palworld or completely blind.
@@therealjaystone2344 Nah. Nintendo isn't a 10 year old with internet access. The overwhelming opinion is that Palworld ripped off a lot of games, including Pokémon, but Nintendo has eyes of their own.
I just can imagine how the pitch went -So you got a team of developers? -Yeah, we can do some good stuff, got years of experience and a lot of talent here -Cool so let's make an Animal Crossing -Ok, let's see, we can do something set in the past like with dragons or a cyberpunk setting where you're on an asteroid -No, I said Animal Crossing -Right, it will have house building, decorations, interactions with other settlers -No, I mean like the human hero, animal characters, small village in the woods vibes -Can we at least make it look different? -No -What, like the text boxes too!? -Text boxes specifically
Obviously Nintendo doesn’t own these game concepts, but this is a fine example of how not to go about it. Astro Bot was clearly Mario inspired but maintained its own style and identity while also introducing new things to the table, and that’s cool we all love that. But this “Anime Life Sim” is just blatant Animal Crossing, not even trying to be original.
Has anyone here played Magician's Quest: Mysterious Times? That's like, "Animal Crossing but at Hogwarts." Which is, objectively amazing. I wish I knew about it when it first came out, since Animal Crossing: Wild World and Harry Potter were two of my favorite things as a kid and I would've loved that game. There's a whole series of games in Japan, but they only ever localized one of them here. Anyway: look it up online. Magician's Quest: Mysterious Times is fetching crazy high numbers in the resale market because Animal Crossing and Harry Potter are two very popular franchises, so "Animal Crossing at Hogwarts" is undeniably a compelling pitch. My point being that, an original game which is in the same style as Animal Crossing but that has a unique pitch (maybe bringing in more elements of fantasy or science fiction-- elf villagers and magic spells, or alien villagers and visiting small planets like you visit islands, etc) would definitely be a popular game. I hope some real devs who are fans of Animal Crossing and Magician's Quest get in on the pitch for "Animal Crossing but with more genre fiction elements" because that pitch definitely has potential.
I played the first game only on Nintendo DS. Very fun game overall, too bad that Konami never cared to support it more, it had lots of potential in be an Animal Crossing competitor that could be released in other consoles.
@@MathematicalVoid"unique" it was pretty much Pokemon but with guns and "other" stuff, heck, lots of their models literally used other Pokemons as their base...
Regarding Nintendo implementing paid gacha mechanics, *absolutely not*. It was horrible enough in the original Pocket Camp. I'm cautious of retiring items in the Animal Crossing franchise, even if you pay using a fully digital currency earned in-game, but I'm not strictly opposed. It would depend on the execution.
Agreed, I'm a lifelong Animal Crossing fan and can think of few things that would disgust me more than forced paid gacha mechanics in a mainline entry. Like I come to my village to ESCAPE from the soulless corporatised world around me, not be drowned in it.
The weirdest part? The second and third screen shots ACTUALLY look like an HD Animal Crossing game! It legitimately looks like it would be really good if it just had some polish.
@@mehdigeek Actually the big focus of the game is create and design your house and town in general, one big aspect of the game is the UGC (User Generated Content) mode for create your own furnitures and use it for decorate your house or town (or if you don't like to create, you can always download other people creations online). Sure there are mining/farming but is entirely optional and not the main focus, in fact you need to unlock those areas if you want to do that.
@@Totavier well designing isn't really what makes Animal Crossing stand out, you find designing aspects in Stardew, AC and The Sims, I'm talking about a game that is specifically like AC beyond "you can decorate"
@@dsshocktrooper7523 actually palworld is the same situation as game freak is with nintendo. A three way partnership between pocketpair, the game freak of the situation, aniplex, the creatures inc of palworld, and sony computer entertainment, the nintendo of the trio at palworld entertainment.
13:50 you lost me here.. that is absolutely the worst idea and I hope that never happens. Why did you go on a gatcha tangent?? Just because it's normalized doesn't mean it isn't predatory..
While Pal World's lawsuit was one I have been skeptical of, I am would hold no qualms if Nintendo shut this down. It's practically copyright infringement.
If someone wants something to scratch the AC itch and is okay with a more condensed experience, they can buy Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Complete on the phone.
I don't even play Animal Crossing, but seeing you host the video using your Animal Crossing avatar was so wholesome and cozy, I'm gonna need you to do that for every video from now on. ^_^
I knew it was a matter of time before we would get a Great Value Animal Crossing, but for real it doesn't even look like it's a real thing due to it most likely being all ai generated.
The fact that Nintendo is filing a lawsuit against Palworld but not this is proof that they're wrong for suing Palworld. Anime Life Sim is a far more blatant ripoff of Animal Crossing than Palworld is of Pokémon.
This game isn’t just too blatant of an Animal Crossing copy, but it’s also likely that it’s just AI garbage. If Sony REALLY wants to have an Animal Crossing-style game on their systems, they should have villagers asides from the player character be animal versions of characters from Playstation IPs and some characters who are well known for being on Playstation like FFVII, Crash Bandicoot, etc. like how the Astro series handled referencing other Playstation games and franchises along with changing the artstyle so it’s not too obvious that it’s based on AC, and that’s not even mentioning how the Nintendo decor and objects could be based on PS series and systems
Yeah this is way too similar visually to animal crossing, but I’m sure defenders will say “b-b-but it a chibi artstyle, that’s used in most cutesy games” This makes palworld look like a college grade essay
I am guessing t he logo looks the way it does might be because it said "Animal Life Sim" before, but they lazily changed it later to avoid Nintendo's wrath. This game looks like an Asset Flip that is trying to use AI images as part of their marketing.
Some of the images don't look generated by AI but a bunch of them look like they were 360p and then upscaled with AI? It has a lot of those weird artifacts of it not quite knowing where and how to draw lines between blurry details But others 100% are completely fake
Well, it might just be a prototype of the final product. Things can change. It reeks more of Animal Crossing than Critter Cove does. Granted, Critter Cove lets you change your appearance entirely, and there's seafaring adventure and tourism involved.
I think, there is a reason why AC has survived. Nintendo knows how to make it, has money to make it, and they do it naturally. Such copies - just die off after a buzz. I highly doubt that even Microsoft studio could make worth AC alternative. Playstation studios might... But I think it would lack of soul.
11:45 The thing about Palworld isn't even that it's necessarily just Pokemon with guns. Gameplay-wise, it's closer to Breath of the Wild than it is to Pokemon. It really is kind of its own thing because there isn't a game with the same gameplay loop as it, even if designs-wise they're definitely Pokemon-esque
What I want out of Valve, Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation this year and going forward is to have stricter criteria for their gaming stores. No AI generated games and no unadulterated shovelware / pure slop games. This game clearly falls under that. These storefronts can be exclusive enough to prevent these lifeless games without failing to be inclusive of indie games and hobbyist games made by real people with real passion.
"no unadulterated shovelware / pure slop games" There's no such thing as 'shovelware' - they're just cheap indie games. You seriously want Nintendo to remove games from their service for being low budget? They want more indie games, not less of them. Nintendo is booting games off the store for not being fun - fun is in the eye of the beholder, no? Many of these games are made from less than $50,000, you want Nintendo booting those off too?! Shovelware isn't actually a problem on the Switch. They don't show up in the featured, and they don't bother the players.
Pocket Camp Complete is exactly the model the new Animal Crossing to copy if we want fountune cookies, monthly specific events and items…. So in some sense, Nintendo is already doing it already 😅
I don't jump immediately to AI-ccusations. I took a long good look and am just like "What'e with the Model inconsistency? The Trees look different in most screenshots, character's arms are longer and shorter at random and it just feels like it IS AI *ASSISTED* at best. Flat out Cryptomining AI Slop at worst...
I reaaaaalllyt hope they don't take any tips from mobile games. None of those tricks they use to keep you returning are fun. They are at the expense of the player and imo ruin the quality of a game. Especially since there's only so many of those kinda games you can keep up with before it's just too much. It would be truely foolish for them to head in that direction with mainline Animal Crossing.
This feels a little too inspired by Animal Crossing, like I get it but there *is* still a line between "inspired by" and just plagiarism, like c'mon (it also shows a blatant lack of original ideas too) Also like there is literally no way these similarities are a coincidence, this is 100% deliberate and why? Because they're lazy (hence the use of AI)
We already have an Animal Crossing game you can play on PS5 anyway.
It's called Yakuza Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.
Funny enough, Playstation DID have a life sim service called Playstation Home that lets you play as an avatar, meet other people, dress how you want, and even decorate your own house. It was F2P too.
Not going to lie, Majima and Tom Nook look identical to me.

And there is another one called Hokko Life.
And is pretty good by the way, the editor for create furniture and share it online (with cross-play) is quite fun.

Yeah i thought so too, all of the images have questionable details, mainly in the eyes of the characters and proportions
more than likely these screenshots are.
Agreed. I think some of these may have also been touched up by a human artist, but obviously not enough given some of the eye proportions lol
Most of the screenshots look like a game, but 2 of them have weird artifacts on the facial textures and background objects which look like AI
Yeah, it feels like the whole thing is just another AI scam. The indoors screenshots have a bunch of nonsense items that are basically a blurry mess.

I think, there is a reason why AC has survived. Nintendo knows how to make it, has money to make it, and they do it naturally. Such copies - just die off after a buzz. I highly doubt that even Microsoft studio could make worth AC alternative. Playstation studios might... But I think it would lack of soul.
Based on the thumbnail, it looks like ai slop
Nintendo, please sue them.

The thing about Palworld isn't even that it's necessarily just Pokemon with guns. Gameplay-wise, it's closer to Breath of the Wild than it is to Pokemon. It really is kind of its own thing because there isn't a game with the same gameplay loop as it, even if designs-wise they're definitely Pokemon-esque
You mean Ark, BOTW has nothing to do with Palworld.
Love these types of videos Daniel! Informative and funny!
The fact that you're the only one talking about it is strange.
What I want out of Valve, Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation this year and going forward is to have stricter criteria for their gaming stores. No AI generated games and no unadulterated shovelware / pure slop games. This game clearly falls under that. These storefronts can be exclusive enough to prevent these lifeless games without failing to be inclusive of indie games and hobbyist games made by real people with real passion.
"no unadulterated shovelware / pure slop games"
There's no such thing as 'shovelware' - they're just cheap indie games. You seriously want Nintendo to remove games from their service for being low budget? They want more indie games, not less of them.
Nintendo is booting games off the store for not being fun - fun is in the eye of the beholder, no? Many of these games are made from less than $50,000, you want Nintendo booting those off too?!
Shovelware isn't actually a problem on the Switch. They don't show up in the featured, and they don't bother the players.
Pocket Camp Complete is exactly the model the new Animal Crossing to copy if we want fountune cookies, monthly specific events and items…. So in some sense, Nintendo is already doing it already 😅
Oh and it’s not a free to pay.
Someone's getting sued
Nintendo needs to make the next Animal Crossing to be an MMO. Keep up with ongoing content to keep it alive.
I don't jump immediately to AI-ccusations.
I took a long good look and am just like "What'e with the Model inconsistency? The Trees look different in most screenshots, character's arms are longer and shorter at random and it just feels like it IS AI *ASSISTED* at best. Flat out Cryptomining AI Slop at worst...
The eyes are so asymmetrical lol
Damn, this ain't even subtle!
I reaaaaalllyt hope they don't take any tips from mobile games. None of those tricks they use to keep you returning are fun. They are at the expense of the player and imo ruin the quality of a game. Especially since there's only so many of those kinda games you can keep up with before it's just too much. It would be truely foolish for them to head in that direction with mainline Animal Crossing.
Oh yeahh, half of that's just AI
This looks like it's going to get it's going to get a dmca takedown so enjoy these images while it lasted
the screenshots look AI as hell
Forget Palworld. THIS is what Nintendo should be taking legal action against.
surely PlayStation isn't going to be that dumb and let it stay up they're going to take it down surely right lol
They practically copied Nintendo's homework.
Animal crossing but ai generated
Palworld base building is fun. The combat is boring, though. The fortnite swinging for the sword is so hilaruous😂
This feels a little too inspired by Animal Crossing, like I get it but there *is* still a line between "inspired by" and just plagiarism, like c'mon (it also shows a blatant lack of original ideas too)
Also like there is literally no way these similarities are a coincidence, this is 100% deliberate and why? Because they're lazy (hence the use of AI)
8:45 what're you talking about?
You mean you don't have your House Cone?
