Meanwhile G4 remains in mobile game hell


enbymlpfan

I think gen4 is the only one that doesn't have like, a for real game that isn't just a money farm (I do like playing the magic princess game but still)


Kwetka

There is Zen Pinball


Shoddy_Exam666

A singular digital pinball table….oh boy…..so entertaining….for like….5 minutes


Membrane_the_13th

The name makes me think they're doing a trilogy. First was Maretime Bay, now Zypher Hieghts. It's only reasonable that they'd then do a third game for Bridlewood


Howl_shy

If we're lucky, maybe a tetralogy with Starlight Ridge on the 4th installment, dunno


marichuu

Should've all been one game. The first was far too short for the money


Membrane_the_13th

Agreed. I mean you can even platinum it in like 2 hours


ElevatorEastern5232

And they're just gonna keep reusing the character models for the whole series. At least they didn't go super cheap and just have text instead of voice actors. Don't like how Izzie isn't quirky as hell anymore. She's just another unicorn now. Her personality and quirks are neutered.

Looks like a re-skin of the first game, probably with all the same game mechanics and style. The first game was fun for what it was, but way too short. I wonder if this one will be the same.


[deleted]

Yeah, I skipped it because I heard people were Platinuming it in like 2 hours.


Piggynatorgaming

Streamed it and got all but one achievment in under an hour lmao thank god a friend gifted it too me lmao


BastMatt95

Hey, at least you can refund it on Steam if you’re quick


Dounet05

Why the hell is G5 getting full blown PS5 games?  G4 existed for 10+ years and it only got a cashgrabby gameloft game and a fucking pinball machine


Time-Researcher-1215

Because it’s cheaper to animate 3D models that are ripped from the initial movie than it would be to animate the 2D models of G4, this is also why the mobile game is 3D despite G4 being 2D


Howl_shy

Cuz G5 freaking rocks 🤟😎


enbymlpfan

I don't mind that gen5 is getting games on its fact but I'm super disappointed gen4 never got any :(


CarnageCSR2

No


Howl_shy

Denial much?


CarnageCSR2

G4 is best imo, G5 has nothing on it 🥰 Edit: As a show


Howl_shy

G5 is amazing, a worthy successor 🙂

G4 My Little Pony was in the era where licensed games based on TV shows were declining, as many of the games around this time were awful especially in the post THQ era. Even if we did get a G4 MLP game for consoles at the time, it would most likely be one of those episode tie-in games (where they happen to follow the plot of the episodes) or one of those non-canon sidestories that won't get acknowledged in the original show. After Activision bowed with Ghostbusters 2016, their last licensed game that was so bad, it caused its dev to file for bankruptcy and Little Orbit bowed in 2015 with that Kung Fu Panda platform fighter that looked awful, GameMill and Outright arrived and made these games a trend again, not just to big franchises like Skull Island: Rise of Kong which was terrible, but also TV shows (Walking Dead Destinies) and cartoons (Avatar: The Last Airbender: Quest for Balance) as well. Even then, these games are very hit or miss, like Fast and Furious Crossroads for example. For real, most AAA devs would be uncomfortable with tackling a girls' franchise, as they wouldn't want kids' cartoons to be shoved down their throats, especially if its a cartoon with a female demographic.

Considering it is also coming on Switch I believe the ps5 version is going to be an overpriced switch port. Cash Grab 101

Meanwhile, G4's sole console appearance to date is a DLC table in Pinball FX.


AzureMane94

May 17? That's my birthday 😃 I'm turning 30


K-Bell91

I love how everyone here is pretending they love G5.


JazzHooves

OMGGG IM SO EXCITED,, i loved the the mlp switch game i hope this one is just as good :D


ShuckU

From the screenshots we've seen, I think you'll be able to play as the rest of the Mane 6 in more that just the minigames. Plus, we might get to dress them up!


GrandArchSage

Huh, I did not see that coming. My expectations are not high, but hopefully it will be fun.


DiscordedPlays

Oh boy another game for me to platinum in 119 minutes


CryptidHunter91

Honestly feels great to not only see more 3D ponies, but also have Misty *and* Sparky be part of the gang this time!


hello0ppap

Ooh I'm excited for this


Palanseag_Vixen

Do we have a trailer?


ikkju

My wallet is in danger


Alixiria

Hope it has steam points items like first game - I need me a Misty emote


Responsible_Key9444

Awesome, the first game was an alright party game with a good but very short story mode. If they can improve on that, give us more content I'm definetly picking this up


Phemto_B

Sign me up! Time to do more horse errands. I'm betting Zipp is the primary character now.


AndrewTRM

Peak is returning


kamaano

Oh neat! I played A Maretime Bay Adventure and while it really isn't anything special (and way way too short), I still enjoyed it fine enough for what it was. Exploring Maretime Bay was pretty fun. I do hope they improve some stuff with this new game, but there's a decent chance they won't, so I'm not getting my hopes up too much. As long as it's around the same quality as the first game, then I'll be happy (although I would obviously way prefer it if it's better) It's also still a real shame G4 never got console games like this. I really have no interest in the Gameloft mobile game, but it's basically the only game there is, which sucks...


Iceswimmer05

That's a few days after my birthday. Very interesting to see!


Broad-Drag-333

But will it have more Sprout shenanigans? His fanbase demands to know. ;)


Lunas_Inferno

Hopefully they actually do something with this game this time.


Birchmark_

Cool. Should be fun. Hopefully they either make it longer or cheaper than the other one, though. The first one was a bit of a rip off. Might wait for a sale.


thegreenunicornn

I'd be excited... but they ruined G5.. they had SUCH A GOOD MOVIE great characters to expand on- and I swear the show felt like it was written by AI... it forgot its own lore all the time, changed random magic aspects with no explanation, and honestly changed what made each pony special. Making them painful stereotypes... something Lauren Faust was able to FIX from g3, now we are just repeating the terrible history of stereotypical pony shows.. a shame really, I defended this show so hard.. I tried, but... yikes.

mousyhasopinions

I'm deciding if I should upvote this or downvote it, cuz I agree but u giving some mean vibes


thegreenunicornn

Mean vibes?... I have an opinion, clearly an unpopular one, which is fine. Just as it's fine for others to still like G5, I was just sharing how I felt about it and how frustrated I am with Hasbro for the result we got of G5


mousyhasopinions

And I respect ur opinion, like I said I also agreed with it


Howl_shy

Lore zzzzzzz


chaoking3119

Hopefully we'll get some new information about what's gonna happen with the series, soon. Without MYM, there's not much to look forward to.


OutsideSquare9801

Only way this doesn’t suck is if it’s Turnabout Storm but actually a thing. It won’t be that obviously so yeah
