I'm still on the fence. I thought that we'd see many boring matches with one team barricading themselves. However, we've only seen 2 and those were actually really interesting. Prime example: Iceland - Portugal. Can I just say that I despise Ronaldo as a player? His comments on Iceland's performance: If you're too stupid to score more goals and win the game you are not allowed to complain. Iceland did a great job and they deserve the credit. They are a small team and with their resources the result was as good as it could get.

Maybe, but I don't think it would've changed much for me. From the first segment I already predicted some of the stuff that I've read about later in your post (like shrines with combat and puzzles, physics based environment, crafting/cooking, combat).

So much this. I've said it twice already: Nintendo took one step out of their bubble. Now they need to see the positivity they got as the beginning of a journey into the outside world

I've watched the first segment of the Treehouse gameplay which is what I'm mostly basing my views on the world and combat on. Reading about the rest gives me a larger impression of the game. Combine those two and there's the basis of my opinion.

I think I'd rather not spoil this game for me. The post from Neogaf that Redshell posted makes me think Breath of the Wild is an open world game like any other but with the Zelda-stuff we all know. Again: If world isn't as sparsely populated as it seems and there are meaningful sidequests then I'm sure it will be one of my favourite games. As it stands now, it didn't leave me as impressed as some of you guys are. The big thing I'm a bit sceptical about. I hope Nintendo has more up their sleeves than those 100 shrines, which sound like I'll be bored of them quite quickly. If these turn out to be the only "side-quests" I'll be disappointed. We'll see.

I'm sorry, but I don't see how this is any different. Yes, there are some little things that are new - or rather that are "Zelda-y". But they do not really set Zelda apart from other open world games. There's the usual open world stuff like gathering materials, crafting, playing around with the environment, exploration which the devs have obviously seen in other games. And that's not a bad thing. It's basically the same as any other open world games. What will make it or break it for me is: a lively world, side quests and dungeons, of course. From what I've seen it looks to be a very sparsely populated world. Then again, I've only seen a fraction of the game.

I have not. In what way is it different?

Seriously? Well, that really dampens my excitement and makes that first impression worse...we probably won't see a nice amount of good side quests.

Objectively I would choose these two, as well My announcements of the show were the Crash Bandicoot Remasters and God of War 4. : peace:

Well, I'm as interested in other open worlds as I am interested in this Zelda open world. It looks awesome, and depending on whether the NX will have a decent line up I'm looking forward to getting the new console and this game. But I have to say that Days Gone and Horizon Zero Dawn have me more excited, mainly due to the fact that I don't have to buy a new console to play this (will sell my Wii U, so no Zelda on that for me).

Nah, it's just another open world game. Edit: To clarify, that was in no way some kind of bait. I really mean it.

Busier worlds and great sidequests is all I want from this now.

I probably won't hear the end of this but... ...it looks a lot like other open world games out there. Huge world (apparently), weapons/armor with stats, exploration, screwing around with explosive barrels, interactions with the environment, gathering items. This is not bad. Not bad at all. Combine this with some good temples and it will be a solid game (except for the combat which, in my opinion, has been boring in every 3D Zelda game and it looks like that won't change) I'll say it again: Please Nintendo...step further out of your bubble and you'll be great again : peace:

Looks like Nintendo finally took notice of other open world games and implemented mechanics from them. Here's hoping they step further out of their bubble and continue looking at others and applying aspects into other games.

Touché.

Get out!!!

More like watching a really, really boring football match.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry... They had the chance to show Zelda gameplay after that trailer but they had to ruin the momentum...and my goodness have they ruined it. No matter how good the remaining Zelda footage will be, it will still be the worst E3 showing in a long time, possibly ever...

Looks pretty, music is great. Hasn't blown me away, though. Waiting for gameplay.

Source Let's see how this will turn out. So excited.

Where'd you hear that?

Suit yourself. You're missing out. That's not how I played the game, so I stand by my comment

Perfect conference. Great mix of old and new with impeccable delivery, i.e. almost no talking and 95% trailers.

Wow. That was beautiful. The art style, the music, the animation, the atmosphere...haunting.
