If Nintendo cared even the slightest we wouldn't have seen Neutopia 1 & 2 as well as Golden Ax Warrior available today. Those three games are notorious for being hardcore Zelda 1 clones.

Basically this. There's a lot more to the genre than just Zelda.

This might seem OT, so sorry about that.

"Developed By Silicon Studios"

I searched for their website, and found this:

* MiddlewareStudio

* Developing and selling Middleware for Game Development and providing compact library clusters for graphical 3D user interfaces, assistant characters, and special screen effects for games used in next generation mobile phones, car navigation systems, and amusement machines. Also we offer a different flavor of technology to our competitors and provide a rich CG design structure that meets the needs of our customer’s environment. See Product Details here:

* Real Time Graphics Libraries

* Silicon Studio provides comprehensive supports for game development, real time simulation, virtual reality, and other real time applications.

* Embedded solutions

* Silicon Studio provides embedded middleware that enhance graphics hardware to enrich digital contents for game machines, mobile devices and mobile phones. We have a tracking record of success with NTT-Docomo who chooses our embedded solution of video codec.

My question is, What do they mean by a "middleWare". And is this company the one who did the actual coding and all other technical aspect of the game based on a design document from FROM SOFTWARE? Now wouldn't that cost a lot more than doing the game in-house?

I really hope someone understands my questions and care enough to enlighten me.

isn't that what Unreal Engine is too?

But if that's the case, isn't it supposed to say "Powered By Silicon Studios" or something like that? I don't know, I think "Developed by Silicon Studios" might indicate outsourcing the whole game design to them.

edit: not that it matters really :lol . After all the game looks perfect.

I wouldn't disagree, you seem well-versed in the cloning business.

I'm actually excited for this game. Maybe it's because of nostalgia and the fact that the game actually looks fun to play and explore.

EDIT-Cheese n rice. Even the music sounds like Zelda! :lol

Thanks for the media updates SolidSnakex.

Still looking great. :D I hope the freakishly huge swords are really expensive to obtain though.

Man I hope there is some kind of penalty for having a sword that huge... or one shotting every enemy... I hope that character is just beefed up or something, because it looks way too damn easy.

Why am I getting the vibe that the trophies for this game are going to be really punishing.
Click to expand...

Yeah, i feel the same. Dunno why.

As for the game, i think I'm just going to give in and import. Just like Demon's Souls, I'll buy it twice, it just looks so darn impressive and right in line with what i REALLY want in a game, just like how Demon's Souls represented everything i wanted in an RPG.

You only have the huge sword when you're at full health; I get the funny feeling that even with a sword that big, it'll be a challenge to maintain.

Have we any idea who is composing the music for this game? I know it might not mean too much to the average gamer interested in this game, but the difference between an awesome overworld theme song and a dull one adds quite a bit to the equation.

Nope, all From has said about it is that while the graphics are going to get a lot of attention, the staff has put a lot of effort into the soundtrack also.

Looks so awesome. If this has English menus ill import this day 1, if not than I guess I will wait for the US release (We all know its bound to happen). I just wish it was coming out in the US next month because MW2 and AC2 do not interest me in the least bit.

The game could play just like Zelda, its legal. Similer or even copied gameplay mechanics have been deemed legal in a court of law.

Yeah I mean Rock Band is basically a 1:1 copy of Guitar Hero and they got away with that (yeah yeah, GH copied Guitar Freaks but at least there are substantial differences).
