Breath of the Wild What Feel do you think Zelda U will give to its Audience?

One of these doesn't belong with the others...

Splatoon actually has a ton of lore within it. It is actually really surprising how in depth the Nintendo Garage actually went. It is actually quite believable that a society full of Squid Kids that exist thousands of years after Humans Died would be exactly what Splatoon did.

I mean, they even created entirely new fictional bands that changed with the Squid-Kids preferences 6 months after release. Now even, the Squid-Kids have differences in what music plays day by day, much like the radio.

Spoiler

They even went as far to create a whole counterculture to the Inklings, which again, even stems into their music as well.


The world of Inkopolis truly feels like a real place, with culture that simply isn't stimulated in other games. Never before has a game went as far to create entire cultures and countercultures, and then evolve it. Skyrim, culture has a static culture. The inhabitants listen to the same music depending on area. And this doesn't even spread only through Music. Splatoon changes clothing tastes, weapon usages, current events of the time(via splatfests), shoes, music, stages, dank memes, and everything galore.

I've played Splatoon and read the lore; however, it's not lore that truly affects the game as much as it is a little side story that sets the game up, which really has no story.

You are completely missing the point. The point isn't of story. Merely culture. The entire culture of Inkopolis is present in a way that gaming has never done. Which, in essence, is the story. You are a Squid Kid, living in Inkopolis and having a blast with your buddies, hitting up the shop, worshipping Callie and Marie(your heroes), and living your life as an inkling. The culture of inkopolis is forever changing through it's taste of music, clothes, everything really. That is something way more involved than even Skyrim, which is brimming with lore and culture. Skyrim is a static culture. What happens throughout the whole game, the culture is the same. The bards sing the same tunes, everyone likes the same clothes, ect. However, Splatoon is dynamic. It completely creates an entirely new world with it's own involving tastes, preferences, differences, and evolving lore.

I don't think that's really what "lore" is, though; lore is the history or backstory of something spoken from one to another, I believe. I could basically say that my taste in music changing in the last year or so is great lore, by that logic.

That is lore...
"A body of traditions and knowledge on a subject or held by a particular group, typically passed from person to person by word of mouth."
Music, clothes, culture, memes. Those are all traditions that paint a realistic world. Splatoon just takes this up a notch, by having the player be part of the lore. The traditions of last year when Splatoon released is radically different from today. That in itself is lore.

Glad to know that twerking is lore.

Is Rock&Roll not a part into a huge revolution of music that is even taught in schools today? Is Mozart not forever ingrained into our society because of what he did at the current time?

Current Events is just living history buddy. It is a constantly evolving entity that makes it's way into history. Hundreds of years from now(assuming Humans are still around), people will indeed be talking about an electronic revolution of music. They will still remember the evolution of music and dance today. In the same way we still remember traditional dances, such as a Tango or a waltz.

I can see your point, but I still don't think it has such a lasting impact of lore like other alien civilization's religions in Xenoblade Chronicles X or the influence that Greek myths had on Kid Icarus: Uprising. Also, I really wouldn't compare Mozart to the music we've seen in Splatoon; Mozart completely reinvented the basic symphony and created an entirely new point of view of the French Horn.
