I think this was the point of the cel-shaded style:
Wow, you are really butthurt about this tiny little demo when the actual game is over a year away. I'm sure your purchase will be sorely missed. '<
Ever designed a zelda game? XD
I've seen all of that. I think SkyLoft actually has something to do with City in the Sky from TP. Speaking of which:
Yeah, I posted this a couple of pages back and received no reply...
I just think they arent taking the franchise seriously anymore. I understand artistic perspective, but when the games gradually look worse and worse, then something is horribly wrong. I'd wager that this will be the last Zelda game to ever be made. You may mark these words and use them however you want. They are treating the series like they would a dying patient. They are trying their best to make the family of the patient feel comfortable until the family member finally passes on.
I think you're referring to the sort-of-awful graphics for the area in the tech demo that probably won't be included in the final game anyway. If you pay close attention, the 3-D model for Link is much smoother than the tech demo area. If you haven't noticed, the gameplay is incredible, and the story already links to TP (City in the Sky theory posted above). I don't think Miyamoto has given up on Zelda, and I don't think he ever will.
So because the game doesn't look all SERIOUS this totally means that the game is going to suck balls?
I'll tell you what: If they get rid of the paper-thin tree leaves and bushes, dispose of the Deku/octoroc hybrid, and get rid of the stupid eye-ball door, I'll eat my words. I like the look of Link's character, it is everything ELSE about it that I hate. But since they arent going to do that, this game will be atrocious.
gtfo. where was this said?
I've said this at least a 1000 times. 100% agreed.
this is also an important note. zelda doesn't belong to miyamoto, zelda belongs to nintendo. zelda is highly profitable, it doesn't work that way. sakaguchi leaving square didn't stop them from continuing to make final fantasy games, ****, metroid's original creator DIED and that didn't stop nintendo <_<
Eh, I can pretty much guarantee that all of this is just for the E3 tech demo. They can't show dark and serious parts of the game with an audience that is also expecting Wii Party.
Good job choosing a horribly jpeg-artifact infested still image of Wind Waker. You're being intentionally deceptive to prove a point. WW looks gorgeous in motion, on a TV.that'd be your fanboy, disagreeing and liking it is one thing, but it's certainly fathomable. there's tons of people that don't like WW's visuals, it's not like I'm saying anything unusual about it.
I don't see how this is aesthetically pleasing, tagging what xyro said, this really DOES look like a childs drawing, the water and sky are solidly ONE COLOR with no shading. I can appreciate something that looks like a drawing or painting that is professionally done, but not this
edit: phantom hourglass is the worst game in the canonical series by a mile IMO, spirit tracks is a massive massive improvement over it.
I dunno, they seemed pretty enthusiastic about SS at E3. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean Nintendo's actively trying to kill the franchise. Again, stop talking like everybody agrees with you.
Well he was kind of joking, but here you go: http://wii.ign.com/articles/109/1098500p1.html
intentionally? it's not like I uploaded the picture myself, random google image search. and no, WW does not look gorgeous, ever
CASE ClOSED!!!!!!!
More than a year? They said they were working through the end of 2010. I'm guessing they'll release it on February 21st, the 25th anniversary of the franchise.
Whether you found the image or not is beside the point. That's an ugly JPEG that makes the game look 5 times worse than it really does. The graphical style in WW is incredible. It looks really epic, IMO, like Samurai Jack or something.
I agree. They have at least six months to implement only a few more things and polish graphics.
Yes, but unless you're really dumb, you realize that a tiny little still image full of jpeg jaggies isn't representative of what the game looks like when you're playing it. WW has the prettiest weather/cloud/sky effects ever, imo. But it's no use arguing this any further.
CASE CLoSED
So you're saying that you want Zelda games to be 100% serious? That would be extremely dull and boring. There is humor in many Zelda games. That humor makes it unique. Not only is it a great series with a great plot, but you expect to chuckle a couple times too. The humor is there to tone down the seriousness. There's also some cuteness there along with the humor. For example, the animals are pretty cute. The cel-shaded graphics were cute. Wind Waker was both cute, funny (Moblins, Tingle...), and serious. It's foolish to say that Wind Waker is like a kiddie game. Are you saying that the Shadow Temple was kiddie-like? Are saying that having to navigate unseen in the Foresaken Fortress was kiddie-like? So it was cute, funny, and serious, too. Everything balenced out. Yeah, sure. Wind Waker was a little cuter than the other games. So what? Wind Waker was like the comic relief of the Zelda series. Do you want every Zelda game to be the same? Even Ocarina of Time was humorous, and it was one of the greatest games of all time. Tallon was funny. He just kept on falling asleep. The Kakoriko workers were hilarious in the way that they ran.
I couldn't tell the difference, that says more to me about how bad the games graphics are than anything
