Ganepark32 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Off topic, yes, but I think could be interesting as an off shot of this discussion. How would people take/feel about a Retro + Monolith Soft collaboration on a new IP (or even work together on Zelda with Nintendo)? Retro have shown a deft hand at nailing gameplay and atmosphere with audition and sound and Monolith Soft know have to handle characterisation and plot. Combine the two and you could get something truly special I feel. Just a thought.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Definately agree that if Nintendo aren't gonna do anythng with it, Retro should maybe try their hand at Starfox! Likewise with F-Zero really! Dammit Nintendo! Stop neglecting your games!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Here's what I say: let Retro make a Zelda for Wii U. Give them no restrictions whatsoever (apart from no blood and gore, obviously). They can use whatever controller they like, focus it around dungeons if they like, or not, it's up to them. At the same time, let Aonuma develop his Zelda at Nintendo (also for Wii U), and then see which one is better. Yes, because Nintendi will definitely spunk millions and millions settling a fanboy debate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer kirby Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Retro would make an interesting Zelda game to say the least. But if anything if I was to ask for a dream team to make Zelda...would be Koizumi team + Armor Project. Bang, greatest game visually, greatest storytelling, awesome gameplay etc etc... so on so fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostOverThere Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I'd love to see Retro Studios take on Zelda, but you know what I'd love even more? An original IP. Retro are an incredibly talented bunch of people. Nintendo need to stop relying on old franchises. Let's see what Retro can really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyubi Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 An original IP. Yeah, whenever I read that phrase that Retro is working on "something people want them to do", that's the only thing I can think of. As great as an F-Zero or Starfox by them would be, this is what the people really want, whether they realise it on a concious level or not:heh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkjak Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 What could Retro Studios bring to Zelda? Only a Lens of Scanning. I think that Retro would like to do a lot of stuff which Nintendo probably will never do. Retro could make Zelda a bit more story driven and gritty. Nintendo have a habbit of creating fantastic worlds and then ruin them with silly stuff, like the floating bouncy castle in Twilight Princess. Or having characters tell you to press this or that button to do this or that. I usually get completely immersed in to games, but once stuff like that gets shoved in, my immersion is broken. I hope that Retro Studios will be able to bring Zelda on par with modern AAA titles. With Skyward Sword, Nintendo have created a really good combat system and a few of the puzles are actually challenging. Now Nintendo need to focus on graphics and storytelling, and perhaps ad even more upgradability to your items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
