She was left behind at the New Leaf village after everyone left. She now spends the remainder of her days pulling weeds and dusting the fossils at the museum.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons E3 Nintendo Direct reveal trailer!
- Thread starter con-ca-te-nate
- Start date
I really wanted local co-op so I think I'll be happy with this. Delay hurts but there's still lots coming out this year.
From the trailer I thought hmmm this looks generic but after the treehouse demo I'm sold. Much more animated and freer than Pocketcamp
I hope the island is much bigger than the map size as shown during the Treehouse session. Or maybe one can do land reclamation :)
Looks nice, I can deal with the delay. Excited for 8 people in a town. 4 player local co op is pretty awesome although I don't have any friends irl so it won't help me. ;)
literally came in to find pics or gifs of the river vaulting, thank you
I've never played an AC game before. So many people love it. Maybe this will be my first one? Seems like a good game to relax and unwind with. Something you don't have to commit to and can come back months later?
I think like most people, I'm wondering how they'll handle travel for shopping, museum, club, hairdresser, etc. Still under wraps I guess. Hopefully that was a demo map. Agree that it seemed very small.
Also in the camp of not being too thrilled about crafting. Farming ingredients when you could be fishing, bug catching, fossil digging, planting, interacting with villagers, events, etc doesn't seem very interesting. Would rather have expanded interactions with villagers than building items we can buy.
Also that delay. Haha. Wanted to grab this for Christmas for my girlfriend.

only if you really enjoy weeding
also certain collectibles are only available at certain times of the year (fish, bugs, etc.) and there are holidays and events that happen on given days/weeks in which you can collect furniture and items that are only available from that event. So if you're a "collector" type you can miss a lot when taking a break.
But yeah I've gone back to old towns after very long breaks and it is fine
Depends on your goals, and that's another great thing about it. You can really just play it moment to moment whenever you feel like and find a way to make each play session fun and rewarding. You could also set a goal like filling the museum which would require checking back in regularly to make sure you don't miss any seasonal critters or anything. No wrong way to approach it, really. I find it so relaxing to just chip away at a few long term goals with no pressure.
It is a bit disappointing we'll have to wait to see our Christmas islands until later...especially with that shot of a Christmas house in the trailer.
Definitely. My girlfriend hates most videogames but can put hours into animal crossing. So many random tasks to do and goals you can set for yourself. The designing and organization are great outlets to relax for people.
You can come back days, weeks, months or years later. Will always be there moving on without you, haha.
Hopefully the "city" portion is/can become part of the main map/town similar to New Leaf. I didn't really like the City being separate in City Folk. Maybe wewill have some control over that, too. Who knows.
Depends on how much you decide to micromanage. If you're someone who just wants to play and chill with no real care to the little things, then you're good. If you like to complete goals and keep things on the up and up, then it's going to eat at you being away. Especially for seasonal and time relating items and such. Lol.

The progression looks so cool! First day vs Five days in. This looks incredibly exciting to me.
Look at the water! It looks good! This is all what I wanted lovely vibe as always!!!
Yeah. Bummer. In the days of GameCube, we'd move the clock forward to Christmas over and over for the NES games. Good times, haha.
Well I was wrong, it was indeed delayed.
Good thing I don't Care that much for animal crossing.

Looks interesting, but I'm not sure I like the change in art style. Feels a bit bland to me (especially that water).
Had a feeling they'd do this sort of concept though, so I did chuckle when they revealed the game.

Probably it's nothing, but on the final part of the trailer (before the Nook section) you can see other Islands in the distance.
I prefer the original GameCube version artstyle and viewing angle.
I dislike the globe design of the over world - it's disorienting for me for whatever reason. I miss the flat design of the original game.
Otherwise, I'm day 1! Looks fantastic especially with the multiplayer additions.

Oh yeah, I agree. The series lost something once it adopted the rolling effect.
I remember playing the one on Wii and being completely turned off by the overworld design. It was jarring in that game.
Honestly i get way more of an "animal crossing vibe" from that pocket camp gif lol.From the trailer I thought hmmm this looks generic but after the treehouse demo I'm sold. Much more animated and freer than Pocketcamp
I really hate to be a stick in the mud, and I was excited about this game just as much as any other hardcore AC fan, but this isn't doing it for me. The art style, the doubling down of town management and adoption of crafting and things like that....I should've seen it coming I suppose, but it's not what I play AC for.
Seeing this trailer and gameplay really just wants to make me retreat to the GameCube version.
Pretty sure multiple islands has been confirmed. The Treehouse stream said you can call residents from the same island to help you, and the person that joined in for co-op had a house on the same island, which is why they were chosen to help out.
Timestamped part of Treehouse stream talking about it:
The idea is that you get to see much further into the distance though which makes sense, but visually it is not great.
I'm a flat-earther ;)
When I play, movement with the angle takes getting used to. I was never able to adjust to it.
I hope they tone down the "bright" look of the game during the day. It just doesn't look very good.
Animal Crossing has always been a spring/summer game for me. It would have felt weird coming out in the winter. You'd only see snow for the first few months of playing!
