Seriously, if this game is 1080p locked at 60fps, it's going to blow my mind no matter what. Put an orchestrated score on top of that and...lordy
+ gamepad play
Right now that's the most appealing thing for me.

Looking at the screens some more, I really love it. Sure, the character models look a tad weird, but I bet they'll look better once more work is done.
The island though just looks great, and I'm picturing all of WW's other cool locations looking just as good.
Why would you want it to look exactly the same? That game/version already exists. Go play it. This version exists to be different.

Eyebrows, how dare they change the eyebrows! lol
Well, it supports widescreen for one.
Character models mostly. Look at the hair.

Wii U should be able to pull this off at 1080p/60fps no sweat.
It's not technically demanding in any way.

Please oh please be 1080p. This is one of the very few games I care about being in 1080 over 720.
Hmm..some of the press site screens are 720p and some are 1080p. Who knows what the final build will be; I think it was pretty clear that what we saw today was the result of the remake team messing around with effects.
fixed for accuracy

Yep. Reconfirms it for me. WWHD looks better.

An HD trilogy would be awesome, but I can't help getting depressed that with each revision of Prime they go out of their way to remove yet another sequence break. Early space jump and all that it opens up makes the game 10x more interesting and replayable.

NSMBU is 720P (Yeah, yeah, it's 2D)
Also, can you name a single HD remake that is 1080P?

That looks pretty decent. I wonder what they can do with a game made specifically for the new hardware.
Also hoping for 1080p and some kind of AA solution.

Well, I'll have a Wii U the day this comes out.
Or 3D Mario, whichever comes first.

Uuuugh why couldn't you use the proper widescreen hack
Also, what's the name of that stupid effect that puts a black glow around the characters. I've never understood the point of that effect. And it's definitely out of place in the screenshot of Link and Tetra in shadow.

Ico is 1080p native with MLAA and 30fps solid.
Okami as well looks amazing in 1080p with hardly any jaggies at all.

Mmm not off the top of my head.
I said it should be able to, not necessarily that Nintendo will put in the effort to.

It's not you, that's exactly what they did.
IGN can't do shit right, those dolphins screenshot are stretched 4:3 screenshot, sadly i have not a powerful computer to push WW in HD so please someone can do the same screengrab with the fixed aspect ratio?
Yeah...

Sorry I got that from IGN.
Good catch.

I like the bloom. Makes the whole thing look like a surreal childhood dream.

Count me in along with Zelda OoT/MM.
Maybe we'll get more nostalgia levels in Super Mario Universe.
Well shit, what do they eat out there then? I don't even remember that line, where is it at?
Either way, that line was probably put in there because they figured people would question why there was no fishing. Now that there is time to put in fishing, they don't need it anymore.
it may have been put in there as an excuse, but that is hardly the only time it's mentioned something about the dead sea, it's a pretty big theme of the game, actually this is probably the only game where Link can't swim, the ocean is sterile, uninviting and dangerous, no one in the game thinks the ocean is awesome, everyone feels some dread about it.

Prime HD collection might make me move back in N's camp. If they cannot get that in 1080p with at least MLAA I will be sad.

If WW HD is 1080p based on a couple screens then Halo 4 is 1440p, the original Gears of War is 2160p and every Wii game was 1080p.

Lol you should check out the Nintendo Direct thread, at around page 90 and onwards to 110 or so. It's like opening a flood gate of positivity and hype talk. The negative people are still there, you see them every ither 100 post or so.
So yeah, there are definitely plenty of happy people on GAF. It's just that the negative people keeps on posting so when the positive people settle down and goes away to do something else with a happy smile on their face all you see here are the negative people that still keep on posting. A person I can't remember the name of said it best in the middle of all the "HYYYYYYYPE!!!!!" in the ND thread when he said "I give GAF 3 hours to find a way to shit on WWHD". He nailed it.
Just don't read "old" threads about awesome news and you'll leave GAF happy.
TF2 has a strong rim lighting component, a downward facing sky color influence, an upward facing reddish ground color influence and a half-lambert lighting ramp that that makes the color range closer to cell-shading with more distinct transitions rather than an even distribution.
This appears to have all of those same components.
As I said before, the individual values are easy to tweak. If they made the sky and ground influences lighter, dialed back the rim lighting and made the ramp more distinct it would go back to looking like WW. I assume this stuff changes in development regularly as they play with the look.

It simulates the way light bounces off of objects and how objects get darker where they meet other surfaces and light is blocked off. Developers can kind of overdo it to the point that it looks like an object is glowing black just because it's near a wall.
Thank you
I'm fairly sure that a lot of people are with me with the eyebrow argument

How would we feel about a toggle between classic flat cel shading and this new Bloom Waker version?
I feel like this new version really will bring something new to the look of the game.... But how can we give up the moving cartoon look? It's really the reason that people have been clamoring for WW in HD all these years.

Bloom is so next-gen!!!
