I've been up all night jerking off to E3 and they mentioned a game, but since I wasn't there I didn't hear anything about it besides the name. So I'm the first one on tpww to post about because I'm a journalist.[/kalyx]

It's bad for even Wii standards

BillyBonez 06-15-2010 03:29 PM

These graphics looks like they from the inside of somebody's ASS! I mean this is like 1995 PS1 graphics, lol, Nintendo is such fail this days. I mean I remember Zelda for the SNES and that was awesome but this is a joke. They would have been better to made it in 2D, at least it wouldnt look this horrible!

While it's true it is probably less effort than stalking someone through multiple threads to mock them in an un-funny manner, I'd probably say that the cutting and pasting is more informative.

I have 53,636 post as of now, mostly ignored. You tell me if the idea has worked.

Anyhow, I still think this game looks fun even if it isn't the greatest of all graphics. I forgot if games don't have the greatest graphics ever they suck.

Gameplay does look fun, absolutely, but there are certain standards that should be met graphically, I would think. Portal, TF2, Super Mario Galaxy, L4D, a bunch of games are out there that have great gameplay and may not blow you away graphically but is still impressive.

This isn't even impressive.

meh

Still looks fun, and might give Wii another real game.

Kane Knight 06-15-2010 06:43 PM

I don't get the hate for the graphics. The graphics, while kinda lame, are fine.

However, the screenshots make it look like the gameplay is for complete and utter fucktards. Even if you assume the osd will be changed once there is a manual, it still looks like this is "games for tards 101."

Which is probably why BDC will get it. Doesn't mean people are right that he's "stalking" Kal, because that's retarded, but so is this game and BDC.

Xero 06-15-2010 06:45 PM

He thus spends the game going between his home in the clouds and the land below (hence the "cloud jump" in the game's trailer).

HUD-BE-GONE - The game's art style may look yummy, but that HUD looks yucky. Thankfully, Aonuma tells us that in the final retail version we'll be able to switch it off.

NEW MAPS - Acknowledging that previous maps in the Zelda series haven't been all they could be, series director Aonuma promises that Skyward's will be easier to follow, and won't leave you as lost as those in other Zelda games.

DOUBLE CONTROL - Similar to Red Steel 2, Skyward will use both the MotionPlus and Wii sensor bar to track your movements, meaning that even if you point the Remote away from the screen, the game will still know where you are.

BOOMING SOUNDTRACK - Mario Galaxy 2 had a big, thunderous orchestral soundtrack. Will Skyward follow suit? Miyamoto says Nintendo couldn't do what it did with Galaxy 2 and not do the same with the next Zelda, which we'll take as a "yes".

2011 - This game won't make 2010, as Miyamoto and Aonuma want to give the development team the rest of the year to complete the game and make sure it's in tip-top shape.

Source.

Orchestrated soundtracks are always good.

Yeah the graphics doesn't quite stack up to Mario Galaxy's standards which is in itself a true hallmark in video game history.

See cause we can enjoy a game for just being fun. These other guys have a bug up their asses.

Jeritron 06-16-2010 01:32 PM

It's not as though Ocarina of Time isn't still one of the best games in existence, and more fun than half the crap that comes out. Those graphics are worse than these. The day I care is the day I should probably stop playing video games.

Jeri, why do we fight when we see eye to eye on so many things?

Yeah but come on if ppl didnt care about graphics we would still have THIS as games
http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content..._adventure.gif
Its called PROGRESS, Nintendo obviously doesnt want it anymore because they figured they cant compete with Sony and Microsoft so they are just using they franchises because if it has "Zelda" or "Mario" on it, ppl will be buying it even if the graphics look like the inside of someone's ASS!

Not really, there are plenty of fantastic experiences to be had on all 3 current consoles, but to dismiss one for having slightly inferior graphics is retarded.

The best thing to the power of the 360/PS3 is the massive environments it can achieve. I wouldn't have honestly cared if they skipped HD this gen but still had the same power, because something like Fallout 3 would be incredible even with N64 level graphics.

Jeritron 06-16-2010 01:49 PM

Sure, but it eventually got to a point where it wasn't a big deal anymore. The progress you speak of was more than just graphics. The nature of games changed so much. Advancements in the graphics doesn't mean very much to me anymore.
I'm not saying games shouldn't continue to push the envelope and develop better graphics and bigger worlds/etc., but a good game is a good game.
Blasting a 2010 game for having slightly outdated graphics isn't the same thing as believing that technology should move on from Atari.


Also, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Dig Dug and any of those games are still fantastic in all their simplicity.

Not the case at all. I'm all for new games, and some of them are amazing. It doesn't mean that older games get any worse, or should be any less appreciated as the technology advances. It's just ridiculous to act like outdated graphics neccesarily matter.
Especially since Zelda games aren't meant to look real.

Jeritron 06-16-2010 01:57 PM

Also, in response to your "Wii can't compete and people just buy the games because Zelda or Mario are in it"...

That's because of the quality. Nintendo's franchises are established brands based on the fact that people know they are going to get quality from generation to generation.
I don't think everyone is just eating it up based on the name. If the games weren't still any good, people would give up on them.
That's Nintendo's way of competing. They focus on making good games with the characters they have earned a reputation with, and try to consistently deliver. They're going for quality, and relying on a market they've earned.
What's wrong with that? Should their entire focus be on graphics instead of fun?

Kalyx triaD 06-16-2010 01:59 PM

People have said Twilight Princess aged much faster than Wind Waker precisely because it went for realistic visuals.

Jeritron 06-16-2010 02:03 PM

I don't subscribe the idea of games aging visually anymore than I do with movies.
If a game is great, it will likely always be great. I could care less if it looks like shit compared to modern graphics. If you revisit Nintendo 64, you'll find how horribly the graphics have "aged." This is no suprise, but the games are still just as good. If it plays well, it's still one of the best games out there.

I would imagine some of the people who want to leave old games in the dust are the same types who can't sit through a black and white movie

BigDaddyCool 06-16-2010 02:17 PM

Jeri, kalyx is almost trollish with his "Nintedo is crap" logic.

Jeritron 06-16-2010 02:20 PM

Disney can't compete with other studios, so they make things with "Mickey Mouse" or "Buzz Lightyear" in it, and ppl will buy it even though the animation looks like the inside of someones ASS

I'm strictly talking about visuals, though, as per the current convo. Of course Zeldas play awesome. It's just a well documented commentary that realistic games age worse than highly stylized ones.

Super Mario 64 looks more vibrant and alive than Uncharted.

Seriously though, you have to expect Disney to makes games with Disney characters in it.

Jeritron 06-16-2010 02:35 PM

I'm not talking about games. It was an analogy between the companies.

Using established characters is competing. There is nothing wrong with building a company around the established properties that have earned their reputation. People like a brand they can trust, with a standard of quality that they can get behind.
I don't understand why he, or anyone else, would consider this a bad thing.

BillyBonez 06-16-2010 02:40 PM

Dont get me wrong bro but its just that Nintendo dont have to bother with REAL quality cuz they can just go on the brand name alone. I dont understand the reason to make BAD graphics today when they can make both good graphics and good gameplay. Also bad graphics ruin the gameplay cause ur distracted by how horrible everything looks and cant really "get into" the world which is important in game like Zelda.

BigDaddyCool 06-16-2010 02:41 PM

BillyBones in a known troll. Don't take him seriously.

Jeritron 06-16-2010 02:45 PM

Well that's the rub. You consider real quality to be graphics, and don't consider the brand name nintendo games to possess great quality.
I consider quality to be more than that, and feel nintendo brings it. At least when it comes to Mario and Zelda games.
I don't see how this is distracting. It's not like it's stick figures. Were you distracted by graphics in games 5 years ago? Because these are no different.
I think you're just hung up on graphics. Just because it distracts you doesn't mean it's a real distraction.

Hahaha u have to resort to name calling and ur the ones calling me names because ur not confident in yourselves and try to improve ur confidence by being elitist and acting all smart on the web. This aint english class...

Back on topic, no, those graphics didnt distract me back then because it was the cutting edge back then. But today, yeah its distracting because I am used to good graphics now so seeing crap like this distracts me from whatever good gameplay there may be.


Kalyx triaD 06-16-2010 02:49 PM

Then you're a fool.

Jeritron 06-16-2010 02:49 PM

If they cancel the space program, graphics won't continue to progress. How can you reconcile these two things?

BillyBonez 06-16-2010 02:52 PM

lololol how is the "space program" (aka steal money program) related to VIDEO GAME graphics. Graphics are advanced by the gaming industry which works to make profits and works in competition with other companies to constantly improve things. Space industry or not, they will continue to compete for business. I dont see how u relate the two.

I dont get how u guys can "not be distracted by horrible graphics" when playing a 3d game. Its fine to have old graphics in a 2d game, but in a 3d one, that just distracts you when u see the jagged edges and lack of realism.

Jeritron 06-16-2010 02:54 PM

*FACEPALM*

U still dont get what im sayin dont u? In 2nd grade the graphics we had was the best ones we could get so it looked good FOR ITS TIME. I bet u if in 2nd grade they released a game that looked like an Atari 2600 game u would trash it then too!


Jeritron 06-16-2010 03:08 PM

In 2nd grade I would probably trash it because I would be akin to BillyBonez

I also thought space exploration was great though, so who knows.

How is this related to my points?

Everybody would trash it, u would trash it now because a game should have decent graphics today unless it is going for the "retro" thing like the DS Contra game which is mad fun.

I think space exploration is great. But NASA is not because they steal money and dont do much. It would work better with private space exploration companies because competition creates BETTER PRODUCTS.

You're whole problem is that you're captivated by the eyecandy that's constantly dangled in front of you. When developing for a system that has the horsepower, of course they're going to go for realism. The Wii makes up for it's hardware limitation by making games that have already proven their playability.

This new Zelda is reverting back to the graphic standard that made Ocarina of Time the legend that it is. You can't compare this to something like Modern Warfare 2, man. Totally different games. If Infinity Ward took a similar graphic route, would it still be a great game? Probably not. Likewise, if the new Zelda was on graphic par to Modern Warfare 2, would it still be a great game? We'll never know, but I'll lean more towards no.

I'm not saying you're wrong, just severely delusional.

They didn't explain how movement works. All they said when demonstrating it was something like "In the last game, you used the nunchuk to move around. In this game, you use it as a shield" then didn't say anything else.

Movement's still the same (i.e. using the analog stick), but what I think Miyamoto was trying to get at was that you can use the nunchuck for more than just movement this time.

They had shield attack in Twilight Princess. You had to move the nunchuk forward. It was kinda unreliable though, like it didn't always react. Also if you moved the nunchuk side to side you did the spin attack.

I'll now attempt to complete Twilight Princess by catching 11 more poes and the Hylian loach.

You may think that the concept of a coherent timeline for the Legend of Zelda games is either a sick joke or a...joke, but Nintendo maintains there is one. And that the upcoming Skyward Sword fits neatly into it.

In an interview with Official Nintendo Magazine, series overseer Eiji Aonuma says, "Yes there is a master timeline but its confidential document! The only people to have access to that document are myself, Mr. Miyamoto and the director of the title. We cant share it with anyone else!"

Oh go on. Share just a little. "I have already talked to Mr. Miyamoto about this so I am comfortable in releasing this information – this title [Skyward Sword] takes place before Ocarina of Time. If I said that a certain title was ‘the first Zelda game', then that means that we cant ever make a title that takes place before that! So for us to add titles to the series, we have to have a way of putting the titles before or after each other."

What this means, exactly, we won't know until the game's out, but it'd be nice if the timeline was referenced as directly as it was in, say, Wind Waker, which is almost a post-apocalyptic Zelda following the events of Ocarina of Time.

Already a bunch of rumors on who the mysterious person is in the trailer ranging from Vaati since Ganon can't be in the game, a temple boss, a new major villain, or the sword-like thing that was shown on the original artwork for the game.

Lots of gimmicks taking advantage of Motion+ swordplay. Looks so fun.

Not gonna lie... I think the graphics are amazing, then again, Windwaker was my favourite Zelda game (haven't played ocarina...) so the graphics are just reminding me of how much fun that was.

Drakul 03-03-2011 01:28 PM

The guy in the trailer is a Sheikah. He looks like a cross between Impa (the hair and face) and Sheik (the body and clothing) from OoT both of which were supposed to be Sheikah. Plus he disappears in a ninja-like fashion which I think Sheik did in OoT.

That's my guess, anyway.

This reminds me that I need to finish Twilight Princess.

If you play the GDC 2011 trailer backwards, you hear this:
