staySICK Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 well true. I still would have preferred more of like they showed with the tech demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 You mean the art style? Or just the fact that it's actual "gameplay"? (Really it's a scripted demo that lets you move the camera around and stuff.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I don't think Nintendo is willing to spend the resources making highly detailed "realistic" graphics. I know they said the had one of their biggest teams ever working on this and it was only 50 or 60 people. There's indie teams nearly that big! So for a game that has a lot objects in it like Zelda will I don't think we'll get a realistic looking one again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Fine by me, I prefer the stylized look. (For this, not necessarily for everything.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yeah, I love all the styles they try out on Zelda. I was one of the rare breed that loved wind Waker's cell-shading right off the bat. Strange how everyone seems to love it now - there was a right furore when it was announced.

TheMightyEthan Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Yeah, I loved Wind Waker's art style right from the beginning too. I also liked Skyward Sword a lot, but Wind Waker's always been my favorite until this new trailer. Goddamnit, now I want to go play Zelda again...

TCP Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'd love a Twilight Princess style Zelda game (graphically) but if this game is truly one giant open world, Nintendo probably figured the Wii U couldn't handle that AND realistic graphics. This artstyle looks better than Skyward Sword but still not anything like that E3 2011 demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 It doesn't look like that 2011 demo, no, but I prefer it a million times over. Too many games have bland "realistic" graphics, and for games going for a realistic feel that makes sense, but Zelda is all silly fantasy, the art style should reflect that. Also, the Wii U is a little more powerful than the PS3 and 360, which played Skyrim more or less okay (a little less for the PS3...).

CorgiShinobi Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 The footage we saw of the new Zelda was in-engine, so while scripted, it was basically watching a cutscene from the game. Seemed to handle the open world just find with a freaky fast techno-tentacle beasty on Link's tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
