Splatoon producer likens the game’s paint shooting to vandalism
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Shooting paint in Splatoon is “sort of like vandalism”, producer Hisashi Nogami told Polygon.
He said:
“Just talking about shooting paint, it’s sort of like vandalism. If we were all in this room and someone came in and said OK guys make this room as messy as you want, you’d probably get really happy and like, destroy things! I think people still have that child-like feeling of wanting to make a mess, wanting to get dirty. I think they would be able to enjoy this game. And I think people have that no matter how old they get.”
