I'd love to see a HD Zelda game that mixed two visual styles together into the storyline, ie like a Light/Dark world or Normal/Twilight realm type thing.

 

It could be the above, realistic visuals for one world, and HD cel shaded for another world that Link gets to via the usual plot device, mirror or whatever.

 

Too fan-wanky? :D

Just saw a picture that was shown on the conferance I forgot about.

Same game? Although I'm actually surprised if they are working on two games at the same time.

 

yeah thats the menu for the zelda game

 

it may well all be a tech demo given reggie's interview, but he basically confirmed they are working on something

What else can you demand? Sure, I agree that it looks a bit too clean, but non the less, I like the direction it indicates.

 

Something radically different. I'm personally not demanding anything. Its the boring same old look that's designed to make you guys get excited. it doesn't take much really. Hopefully it is simply a tech demo. Skyward sword looks nice, but is heavily hampered because of the piss poor hardware it's on.

Mind you, as wowed as I was by the tech demo and the prospect of a Zelda up there with the likes of Uncharted etc... Last time we got a realistic Zelda tech demo...

 

 

What we eventually got was...

 

 

So it's not necessarily representative! :p

 

Though it does seem Nintendo are going with Adult Link on the home console now... and we've had...

 

Wind Waker - cel-shaded

Twilight Princess - 'realistic'

Skywards - 'cel-shaded'

 

So maybe this tech demo will form the basis of the next Zelda. Fingers crossed! :D

I honestly don't get where the haters are coming from either. If you watch the video H-O-T posted... it looks every bit like it could surpass Uncharted 3 by the time it's released... especially considering this Zelda game is probably 2/3 years away.

Haha, we all know whatever this Zelda is, it'll be the swansong game of the Wii U.

We need to stop making this into something more important than it actually is. This was just a rough guideline on what the system can do. A system we haven't properly seen yet or know an awful lot about. A system where Nintendo haven't actually showed off any games for it, yet. So, there's no point in getting into an serious debates, because we know very little.

 

Also, I always find it unfair when games are compared to each other, rather than based on their own style and merits. I love both UP and Wall-E, both look pretty beautiful to me. Do I care if one looks marginally better than the other? Do many people? I'd like to think that there's a bit more to gaming than just that top surface layer that we all seem to get too hooked up on.

 

As for this, it looks nice and it shows what potentially is possible, particularly if you see the video on Kotaku where the guy is using the touchscreen on the controller. That playability is making me excited.
