[mrklaw]

Hopefully we get some crisp screens soon.

I could do with a krispy kreme right now.



so if this is fall, where does it put 'new' zelda? Fall 2014 or 2015? (I'm assuming Mario Kart this fall too, and maybe Universe next year?)

[Confidence Man]

Looks like something fan made in UE3.

[Cornbread78]

Meh...got bored and never finished WW on my GC....

[Bricky]

Pfff, Sony and Microsoft have been doing HD-remakes for years now. Nintendo ripping off the others once again. Nintendoomed.



... :P

(By the way; Holy shit that looks amazing. This is how you do an HD-remake! If this is any indication of what Nintendo can do I can't wait for Super Mario Galaxy and/or Sunshine HD.)

[Vulcano's assistant]

What the fuck just happened?

[Takuya]

I honestly think the original version looks nicer, despite the huge polygon disadvantage. They ruined the art style on the HD remake.

[bluedeviltron]

Well, fuck.

[Reyne]

Hmm, yes. I never did like how Wind Waker Link looked like in Smash Bros Brawl, and now they are making the entire game like that.

[Hobby]

[shinobi602]

Looks absolutely stunning.

Day 1.

[dancrane212]

Not sure how I feel about the game's look, something about it seems off. I'm more interested in the gameplay tune ups, I wonder if they'll put those cut dungeons back in?

[jedivulcan]

Hopefully, Nintendo will expand or adapt the Tingle Tuner (GBA/GC link) found in the original title with the Wii U controller in some way.

[biosnake20]

Should of remade Majora's Mask.

[vareon]

Stunning, but what happened to the toon shader? :(

[Tan]

I honestly think the original version looks nicer, despite the huge polygon disadvantage. They ruined the art style on the HD remake.

Yeah...was kind of my initial impression as well.

Still looks good, just doesn't match the original's vibes.

[Rösti]

Apparently I'll need a WiiU.

Same here. But I've got no funds. :(

Ah well, I'm excited to see more footage of this. Is it too early to tell if it's 720p or 1080p? I'm guessing the former.

[abstract alien]

What the fuck just happened?

I'm still trying to figure that out. They kept announcing shit before you could process the previous shit they announced.

[Mojojo]

Awesome. I just hope they make the sailing more exciting, I want real storms with huge waves

[noobasuar]

Yeah it looks pretty ehh. C'mon Nintendo.

[Anth0ny]

Looks like something fan made in UE3.

That's the vibe I get too.

IT'S STILL EARLY

[Flame Lord]

I think this is a case where I would have preferred just a regular HD remake. They kinda ruined the look of the game imo.

[Takuya]

Yeah...was kind of my initial impression as well. Still looks good, just doesn't match the original's vibes.

For some reason, it now reminds me of a LEGO version of the game.

[cyberheater]

Looks lush. I'm glad they toned down the horrible cell shading. It looks a lot better.

[Alcibiades]

I'd love to play this with a GCN controller but I doubt Nintendo bothers to release Wii U compatible one.

[Gooster]

I get Claymation vibes from this image. heh:



I can't believe this exists. I thought it was just a bull shit wish I had...

[Shion]

I wanted it to look more like Ni no Kuni but anyway.

Add:
- New dungeons
- New side-quests
- More NPCs
- New locations

Remove:
- The Triforce quest

[moniker]

Looks way worse than the original. Shame. Upressing would have been preferable in this case.

[Ingueferroque]

HDR is crazy... and it is an entirely different style. It honestly looks like a fan-made shader mod in some screens.

I sortof get the aesthetic though, it seems to look a bit like clay figurines.. I guess I prefer how the old game looked... really like a cartoon. Good to see Nintendo in the HD era at last though, whew.

[Jarnet87]

I wonder what they are going to charge. Never got around to Wind Waker the first time so I am excite.

[BGBW]

Bit heavy on the bloom. Guess it really is HD Zelda HA HA HA.

Now where's my brown paint?

[GregLombardi]

Nintendo. Please. You can make this 100% the king of all Zelda games if you cut that Triforce fetch quest out and add dungeons to the end. It would be amazing.

[shagg_187]

HNNNGGG! Looking so good! Link looks weird though...

[RyoonZ]

Nintendo just sold a WiiU to me!

[UrbanRats]

This looks incredibly awful.
WW on Dolphin looks miles better.
WTF is that bloom and those horrible colors? Also the reflective lights on the characters fuck up the cel shading effect.

Curious about the gameplay improvements, though.

[CrunchinJelly]

I would've preferred just Wind Waker in 1080p with no dithering.

I don't like the new art style.

[Impeccable]

They should do like two or three Zelda remakes on one disc like Sony has been doing.

[thomasmahler]

I feel like if this would be any other title, GAF would shit bricks on it.

This feels like they took the models, removed the cel shading, added tons of over-the-edge post processing effects and that's it.

Those textures were painted to work with the cel shaded style. If you just use normal shaders now, it looks off.

First comments I got from colleagues was that it 'looks like something out of Garrys Mod'.

[Tiktaalik]

It's nice, but Windwaker badly needs gameplay fixes to the end game. The triforce hunt is terrible.

If Nintendo can fix this incomplete title they'll have something really special.

[Misterinenja]

Doesn't look "worse" to me. I like the fact they're going with something different.

[Banana Kid]

This new shading is not doing it for me. Doesn't look like Wind Waker.

[Galang]

It looks absolutely amazing to me

[grumpy]

Look at them Toy Story graphics :O

[Tsunamo]

I can not believe this is actually happening.

[Soka]

I love the way it looks. As others have said, looks like some claymation-type of shit.

Makes me want an HD Clayfighters... on second thought, maybe an HD Claymates would be better.

[King of the Potato People]

I'll buy it if has new dungeons instead of the Triforce hunt. TWW needs more than HD graphics to make it great.

[dark10x]

It looks awesome but I'm surprised that they moved away from cell shading. Something like those Naruto games or Ni no Kuni would have been preferred, I think.

Ah well, looks great regardless.

[Sinthetic]

Absolutely incredible. Sticking my GC copy on the bay.

[jackal27]

Wind Waker is the best traditional Zelda. I think that most people are going to realize this when the remake comes out. I am SO pumped for this.

I have but one request: BROWN SLEEVES

[Nimajneb]

The lighting looks bad, especially the bloom. Hopefully Nintendo will come to there sense an implement proper cell shading.

I can't wait for this, WW is so good.

[Miizy F Baby]

Alright. Wii U purchase fasttracked. This is how you do an HD port. It's different looking, and will actually be a different experience than had they just dolphin'd it. I'm excited as fuck.
