Grazza Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Neither how clever their puzzles are, nor how well they build up the atmosphere will be changed by raw hardware power beyond what they already have. It most definitely would. That stormy night on Windfall Island, to name one, couldn't have been done on the NES, SNES or even N64.
Burny Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 It most definitely would. That stormy night on Windfall Island, to name one, couldn't have been done on the NES, SNES or even N64. You might have noticed that the Wii, while shamefully underpowered, has slightly more steam than the N64 and even the gamecube. And what is it, that couldn't be done on the Wii? Large open worlds aren't exactly within comfortable reach for devs on the Wii. What else? Making buildings physically correctly destructible. Armies of enemies, all with ragdoll physics. Having the building you're in collapse while furniture, debris and enemies fly around physically correctly is another one. Shame, Zelda really needs all that. :p
Jonnas Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I suspect you're going OTT on purpose after hearing all the TP bashing...? Oh noez I am talking about some people's favorite game and bashing it, deal with it. I put up with your shit. ...I can't tell whether you're being serious or just playing along. Anyway, don't expect anything. I thought we were clear on this, guys, overhype kills games.
Beverage Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) ...I can't tell whether you're being serious or just playing along. You know I, too, am still trying to figure that one out Just to help big scary Oozaru to turn back into little cute Goku, I'll say this... I can't recall myself or anybody else saying that The Legend of Zelda game should be like any other game on any cnsole. I, Beverage, am just simply saying that rather than having the awesome gameplay + shit graphics, why not for a change take advantage of technology and make LoZ with the same awesome gameplay PLUS++++ the sexii visuals? (obviously when Wii2 comes out) Now I think along with the powerful visuals, a more serious look would suit the Zelda theme. As previously said though, just what 'I', Beverage, dreams to experience. Just think how magnificently adorable it'd be seeing Link fuck his Master Sword into Ganons butt ugly face! Edited February 18, 2011 by Beverage
Burny Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Just think how magnificently adorable it'd be seeing Link fuck his Master Sword into Ganons butt ugly face! Would be sooooo much more adorable than the last hundred times. :p
Grazza Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 One thing's for sure, whatever Skyward Sword turns out to be like, it's very important that it's released on the Wii, with plenty of time to spare too. The worst thing that could happen is it's delayed until the Wii 2, and we get into that hybrid cycle again. No one wins.
Segnit Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 How about if hype compliments to the enjoyment of a game?
Hamishmash Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Oh noez I am talking about some people's favorite game and bashing it, deal with it. I put up with your shit. My views on the Zelda series seems to be far different to that of most of you guys. My love for Zelda has always come down to gameplay. Never story, Zelda stories aren't even good. Zelda has always been about the gameplay and the sense of adventure. Shit they could make the next Zelda game have something like 'LINK!!! GONON STOLE OUR FUCKING MILK, GO AND KICK THE SHIT OUT OF HIM' Which in the end the only way to do it is by going through the land you have never been too before. What is it that people want from this game exactly? I feel like we want it more to be like 'this game on the 360' or 'that game on the PS3' Go all out Nintendo, give me as much waggle for skyward sword just so I can hear more fans cry over the stupidest shit. Fuck I love this gen Quoted for truth.
drahkon Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Just think how magnificently adorable it'd be seeing Link fuck his Master Sword into Ganons butt ugly face! Glad you didn't finish the sentence after "butt".

Ronnie Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Wow. Simply incredible. I'd buy a huge print of that, hope it goes up for sale.
nekunando Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 ..that would look great down my bedroom door
Shorty Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Saw this earlier on Kotaku, it is truly awesome. A print would be nice but there would be legality issues with selling an image of characters you don't own the rights to.
Ronnie Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Love how they included the girl from the Skyward Sword artwork, why not I suppose, future proof it a bit. At least this genius of an artist(s) thought to do something for the 25th anniversary, unlike Nintendo.
Jonnas Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Holy...! That is the best piece of artwork I've ever seen. Even better than that famous Samus picture. Ok, Staven/Byrne doesn't really belong in that row, but that's nitpicking.

At least this genius of an artist(s) thought to do something for the 25th anniversary, unlike Nintendo. Funny you say that considering that it's still only Feb, this is the new Nintendo we are talking about, an announcement then a release within 3 months.
Ronnie Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 True Ok, Staven/Byrne doesn't really belong in that row, but that's nitpicking.[/size] I'd say he belongs pretty well. What's the weird shell thing next to Midna? Can anyone see Sheik? Suppose he's left out on account of Zelda being there.
Fused King Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 True I'd say he belongs pretty well. What's the weird shell thing next to Midna? Can anyone see Sheik? Suppose he's left out on account of Zelda being there. That's not a shell, but the lower body of Anjean (The old Lady). She's a lokomo!
Ronnie Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I know, I meant on the other side next to her face, but have just realised it's Oshus' staff
Beverage Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Hey, it would freshen up any church. Blasthemous blastheme which is riddled with blasthemousness. Holy...! That is the best piece of artwork What choice of words... Blasthemy! *Engages in thousand-year prayer to The Sovereign One for mercy upon humanity* Edited February 22, 2011 by Beverage Automerged Doublepost
Jonnas Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I'd say he belongs pretty well. It's just that everyone else is a mentor, or wise person, of sorts, while Staven... is a foolish youngster, and a villainous one, to boot.
Ronnie Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 True. I suppose he ended the game as a good guy and wouldn't really belong anywhere else in that artwork? Another thought, I love the understated, subtle depictions of the three goddesses at the top. Lovely. Really like Belum too, although at first I thought it was Vaati. Can anyone think of any characters missing? The three helper animals from Oracle of seasons maybe at a push could have made it in, or the witch from LA/ALTTP
