Splatoon 3: World Splatfest Premiere Online Matches (Recorded on 8/27/22)
6Yesterday Keet and I managed to play the Splatfest 3 demo that ran from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. PST and I got to shoot ink at someone for the first time since early 2018 when I stopped playing Splatoon 2. I was a bit rusty at first and confused by the new features, but by the afternoon I was starting to get the hang of things and I managed to try out a variety of weapons as well.
Like usual though, I did best with the Splatlings, so here are a few good matches using the Heavy and Hydra Splatling while Keet is on my team. Our teammates in these matches were actually the best ones we had all night, and surprisingly, we were able to play with them for over an hour before I accidentally disconnected from the lobby.
Unfortunately, the brightness and color levels in this footage are a bit off because I had the “expanded” color range selected in my Elgato capture software, which for some reason made everything look a bit dull. I don’t know why the capture software does this since the expanded range made everything brighter for Friday the 13th, but I tried to correct the contrast in Sony Vegas afterwards and got mixed results. I’ll make sure not to make that mistake again in future Switch recordings.
Anyway, enjoy the footage.
