The Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword thread of cumbersome control 7.5 7.5 7.5 7.5

[magus]

looks like the tears of light are back!
the game is not even out and i can already see all the bullshit they are going to put to pad the shit out of it

[naff]

Zelda definitely looks better in the art than in the actual game.

This applies to 99.9% of games

True, but there's a pretty huge disparity in this case.

[naff]

Relative to what?

[Himu]

well, zelda looks like a butterface in the game. in the art she looks normal. that's a pretty big disparity.

Sounds great.  Really excited for it after replaying OoT 3DS. 

and the school stuff sounds more like harry potter...coming from someone who doesn't read/watch harry potter.

So the skys are like the wind waker ocean spotted with floating islands, the city is like the Majora's Mask sidequests, and the mainland is an interconnected Metroid esque world.  This sounds better and better the more they talk about it.  Unfortuneatly it will get shunted in goty considerations cuz of wagglez and not measuring up to whatever narratively bloated flavor of the month the enthusiast press are sperging over.

THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY

THE HATE OF PRESS FOR WAGGLE VS THEIR DICK-WAVING OBSSESION TO GIVE 10/10 TO EVERYTHING ZELDA

WHO WILL WIN???

[EmCeeGrammar]

Game journos aren't as big on zelda as they used to be.  The coverage of Skyward Sword at e3 was verrrrrrry subdued and considering it only was nominated for the best of "motion simulation" category suggests many straight up ignored it.  Now after the superinflated hype for that turd twilight princess, I guess I understand a little.  It reminds me though of how the Galaxy games often got marginalised because they dared to be great games instead of whatever "dramatic" bs Bioshock and Mass Effect 2/RedDead were pulling.

[EmCeeGrammar]

No

You mean, just like Twilight Princess did?

It's a 99.9% certainty that Skyrim will clean up any awards

or Batman, but probably Skyrim, or Uncharted 3, but probably Skyrim, or Dark Race, but probably Skyrim

Skyrim's gonna clean house.

[TakingBackSunday]

I haven't followed anything regarding Skyim, is it just Oblivion with new shit or something?  If so, meh.  Gimme a brand new Fallout instead.

Or just Batman, because it's going to shit on everything this year.

It's Oblivion but bigger, better, more awesome, and with NPCs that don't look like they have Down syndrome.

[TakingBackSunday]

I mean, it looks pretty cool I guess.  But I never really got invested in Oblivion that much, so I don't know if I'd do this game any justice unlike some other people here.  Fallout 3 was my shit though, I played that thing for almost my entire freshman year of college.

[naff]

Oblivion was alright, I liked it but a lot of people had issues with its levelling system, Fallout 3 was a lot better.

[Oblivion]

Normally, a mainline Zelda would be a shoe-in for GotY, but the anticipation for SS seems really tepid. There's a galaxy size gap between the hype that TP had and the hype for SS.

Well, TP had that whole "Realistic Link returns!  Like Ocarina only bigger, badder, more amazing!  Look we even got that Conan music again holy shit!" thing going for it.

Still, the hype is real low for a Zelda. Even Wind Waker, had a ton of media footage pre-release at E3. This game, however, seemed like it had barely any exposure from sites.

[TakingBackSunday]

Yeah but it had that badass commercial.

[Barry Egan]

I think it's because the leap in graphics isn't pronounced enough.  The game looks like TP+.

[naff]

Who expected major technical leaps? It's on a Wii..... The art style is wholly different though.

The whimsy quotient is off the charts this time.

Full circle.

More gimmicky waggle + a company who I'm fed up with + shitty Wii graphics + the last 2 original Zelda games (the DS games) being absolute horseshit = no hype for me

So, did you just skip to 3:00, watch for a few seconds, and then close out the video?

to be fair, this is the first Zelda made for the Wii...so I guess 2x as good as Twilight Princess and Crossbow training I guess

I think it looks nice.  Has a lot of character, especially the animations.

Do not trust Bethesda's lies!

Yeah, I think the game looks really great, as usual with Nintendo games. Doesn't change the fact that Wii is quite literally an overclocked gamecube

Everything Bethesda is a lie.

Disgusting

[cool breeze]

yeah, the problem with the good looking Wii games is really the low resolution.  The emulator shots of Galaxy, Sin&Punishment 2, Donkey Kong, Smash Bros, etc all look great.  A lot of the niceness is hidden by that low res blur  (except NSMB Wii, and Mario Kart, and Wii ______, and things like that.  Those games are lazy).  At least with Nintendo, you know they'll recycle old games.  3D3S needs launch titles!

also, showing that Zelda tech demo for the Wiiuuu probably jaded a few people.  It's weird.  I think people thought it was a game or something? Even Nintendo was being stupidly coy in their "A Zelda game? no, that's the HD Experience Demo  " way.

[BlueTsunami]

They just need to bring back the Boots of Blinding speed

[Eel O'Brian]

if you think a dragon randomly swooping down and snatching up a mammoth-herding, club-wielding giant by the head as he's attacking you is boring, i dunno what to tell you man

[cool breeze]

yeah, Oblivion took away all the cool spells from Morrowind.  I miss levitation, super jump scrolls, and things like that.  Especially when you combine them and jump halfway across the world map.

The one thing I wish Skyrim had more of was really cool and outlandish areas.  I want places like Vivec.  Oblivion was too grounded.

Is Bioshock Infinite coming out this year? I would think that would be a strong contender for GOTY as well. It pretty much won E3 single-handedly.

I'll be honest, the demo really took much of the wind out of SS's sails for me. Going from an HD Zelda to SS actually seemed pretty jarring. And it's strange cause it's not like SS is an ugly game, but at the same time it doesn't seem that pleasing to the eyes. Part of it is cause it's in SD, but then again, I feel WW looks much better, but possibly cause it's more vibrant.

Zelda HD Wii U E3 demo not possible on other consoles
29/06/2011
Satoru Iwata has said what was shown at E3 cannot be replicated on other machines.


Nintendo has assured shareholders that Nintendo is perfectly able to create competitive high definition content, stating the Zelda HD demo shown at E3 would not be possible on other consoles.

According to translations from Andriasang, Japanese developers have said the demo cannot be replicated on other hardware, despite only being made in a relatively short period.

This, says Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata, is reason to believe Nintendo will have no issues creating top end high definition games for the Wii U.

The Wii U is scheduled to launch in 2012

Probably meant the second screen, and probably not counting PC.

Besides that, the demo itself was very impressive. The AA was so good I don't think it could have been done on PS3, or 360 at least.
