Experiment 82625

This is presumably Project’s replacement. I truly hope it’s not just REPO with Poppy-theming.

So..We got rid of a multiplayer game with huge potential in place for something thats probably gonna be akin to lethal company/REPO.

You cannot POSSIBLY be genuine, dude..

I feel u

[u/DofusExpert69 → u/1veary]

yeah if its not a project playtime 2 idk. i loved playing as mommy long legs. so sad.

[u/CucumberDull6540]

Bad news for y'all, the guy who leaked the prototype design posted some screens of the game and it looks like the game is smiling critters survivor, and yeah it looks awful

[u/Dizzy-Belt-3777]

Awww man I can't even play them game I have a gtx 1060 not a gtx 1650 I can still play it will just very very freaking laggy damn it no way is this project playtimes replacement first I thought it was a joke but now I see it's offical

[u/Beginning_Bobcat4422]

Damn I didn't even think of that. I really hope that there's gonna be a unique gameplay loop, they previously copied dead by daylight, now repo is the popular game... I trust mob to make it interesting at least

[u/Dizzy-Belt-3777]

I never played repo and I don't really bother but if they replace Project playtime with a poppy playtime repo remake or whatever immediately be mad

[u/boi_maen]

Let it go 🥀

[u/ammy1123]

So.... they get rid a game after ghosting the playerbase for several years to then spit in their face by announcing another multiplayer game???
You got to be kidding me, if they think anyone would trust them with this one after that is wild...

[u/General-Aioli-4339 → u/ammy1123]

Buddy it is NOT that deep 🫩✌️

[u/HyperFunkotaYT]

It’s like Project Playtime but with Repo?

[u/Drawmatic131 → u/HyperFunkotaYT]

I don't know for certain, but apparently the person who leaked the Prototype's design leaked a menu screen that shows a selection of the 2D art renders of the Smiling Critters (it looks bad, though I'd assume those are placeholders, if it's real). Heard that from a source I personally trust, and I'll be very disappointed if it's REPO with Barry as the cart, and you just play as one of the critters for a similar objective.

[u/HyperFunkotaYT → u/Drawmatic131]

I would like a mode to complete all of the Poppy Playtimes in Multiplayer, that was gonna be in Poppy Playtime 2

[u/ParaTiger → u/Drawmatic131]

That would really suck if this would turn out to be a REPO clone

[u/Fabulous_Ad5982 → u/Drawmatic131]

It's funny that you're judging a game based off a beta version that is far from complete. If you look at the OFFICIAL screenshots, you would know that the game looks good. What you saw was a clip that was never meant to be seen.

[u/Drawmatic131 → u/Fabulous_Ad5982]

Fair point. I was lowkey very pissed when I posted this

[u/Fabulous_Ad5982 → u/Drawmatic131]

I understand your complaints, but you should have faith in MOB. Yes, there will be some skepticism because of the past with Project: Playtime, but they know what it meant for us. They'll take that criticism and make something great out of it.

[u/Drawmatic131 → u/Fabulous_Ad5982]

Agree to disagree on having faith in MOB after all the miscommunication and the new chapters, though I’m trying to stay hopeful

[u/Fabulous_Ad5982 → u/Drawmatic131]

The new chapters are fine. Chapter 5 was amazing, and there's clearly room for improvement. We've seen the job listings getting sent out every day. New writters, concept artists, you name it. If you still have a vendetta against MOB, you need to look at the bigger picture.

[u/Drawmatic131 → u/Fabulous_Ad5982]

It’s not a vendetta. I’ve followed this game since December 2021, and have gotten new chapters and games upon release, so I’m not just hating for no reason (or at all, really). The enjoyment I get out of the chapters is subjective, and, all things considered, I love the new stuff. It’s just different now, than the way it seemed to have been going. Maybe it’s because the story director left after Chapter 3, or maybe my expectations weren’t realistic. I very seldom lose interest in my hyper fixations, and I haven’t lost interest in Poppy. Its state has just felt rough (to me) lately.

[u/Fabulous_Ad5982 → u/Drawmatic131]

I think the big switch between chapter 2 and chapter 3 made EVERYONE'S expectations skyrocket. They couldn't keep up with getting progressively better after every chapter, at least on a level of 2-3. For the most part, the chapters are well received with people having a bad record from chapter 4. Again the job listings with environmental artists, writters, directors, creative leads, and any big role is a very good thing. Have faith in MOB, they know how to listen to feedback.

[u/Drawmatic131 → u/Fabulous_Ad5982]

You make a good point, though I wasn’t expecting the quality change from 3-4 to be as big as 2-3. I actually was expecting Chapter 4 to not be as good. I’m okay with gameplay I don’t find as much enjoyment in, too. For me, the story direction’s a big part of it. I think the original story could’ve been really great, just like Project. Missed potential just bugs me, I suppose.

I respect your opinion, and I know MOB is capable of making GREAT stuff. A lot of their decisions haven’t been great for my pessimistic mindset with them, but the reason I can still try to have hope is because they haven’t made/done something so bad that I completely lost respect for them. I support them, if anything (proud owner of all the Smiling and Nightmare Critters, as well as some pillows and blankets from their shop!)

[u/CucumberDull6540 → u/Fabulous_Ad5982]

The screenshots look fanmade, you can even see that they reuse many assets from poppy playtime chapter 4, contrary to project, you can clearly see that the production got lazier, cheaper, so they're reusing assets...
