oh god that pic is so good, I don't like the more cartoonish feel of the buildings but I'd be lying if I said it didn't look appealing. I'm glad they are doing new things with the environment.Josh7289 said:There are a few images here that I hadn't seen before: http://tinycartridge.com/post/4751478595/ocarina-of-time-3d-adds-boss-challenge-super
For example
I hadn't realized it before, but building designs in Zelda games got pretty zany after Ocarina of Time, and now that's been transplanted back into OoT3D.
The oversaturation in a lot of these screens reminds me of the Twilight Realm in Twilight Princess, though. It doesn't have to be that glowing... But the president of Grezzo's heritage is the Mana series, so I can't say I'm surprised.

Yeah, has that Majora vibe.
At least they are actually "remaking" the game and it's not just a more colorful and clearer port with better animation.
It's really damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I don't think it needs to be that dull, the grass and trees need a bit more colour and life.radioheadrule83 said:Slightly tweaked the saturation, and changed the water and it looks better... Grezzo, if you're reading, fix the water!
The N64 OoT shot of the temple just looks so ugh and boring now that I've seen the game with more colour, I've always thought the game should have more colour whilst you are a child as the world hasn't descended into darkness yet.

I think it just needs to keep the same nostalgic feeling, it doesn't mean that the game can't be changed.
Mario 64 DS had some really nice changes to the gameplay, but it was ruined for me because the sound effects were different and the colors were lost. If they kept the sound effects (which is what made the game nostalgic for me), they could have added a ton of new and radical stuff and I would not have been mad at all.
But this seems to be the opposite. They changed the visuals, but the game itself looks identical. So both of worst worlds.
Anyway, the problem with the screens is not the amount of colors, but the colors themselves. Neon green water, yellow fog, etc. Otherwise, more colors should be good.

What? The trees look like any number of normal trees, and do you want neon green grass or something?

Wow! Some of those new screens look great! It's looking more like a enhanced remake than a enhanced port!
June's a great month to pick up a 3DS!

ehhh...I just don't know about the new color palette. I'm assuming the bright, neon colors look a little less eye-gouging in 3d. That said, I always liked how the slightly drab colors, hard shadows, and less fanciful architecture of the original contributed to a more ominous and foreboding atmosphere. Seems like that's being written out a little in this remake.

*shrug it looks great to me - it looks like the actual artstyle it was based on.

I am almost the opposite. I generally prefer the aesthetics of the original from what we've seen so far EXCEPT for the Castle Town and Temple of Time where I feel there's a significant improvement and change for the better.Ysiadmihi said:
My greatest fear is seeing Forest Temple, Shadow Temple, Fire Temple and Spirit Temple having their atmosphere compromised by a garish, happier look. I am crossing my fingers for places like these. Oh and I can't wait to see Lake Hylia, that's one place that has GOT to look better.

Remake looks better. I welcome the changes. Vibrant colors will look fantastic on the 3DS screen, in motion and in 3D. There is no pleasing some people. If they don't change anything "Wah, wah, it's a ROM dump!"... If they upgrade and enhance stuff "Wah, wah, why did they mess with my beloved game!"
I do slightly sympathize with these cries, for nostalgic reasons, but if you want to play the game the way it originally looked then it's readily available on so many platforms. I for one welcome these changes with an open mind (including the color saturation)... This isn't a port, it's a remake/remaster/reimagination of OoT. Of course it will look different.
tldr; Haters gonna hate.
Yeah, for the better.

or much worse.
I think it's funny that some of you want to be able to explore new areas (behind the temple) in a game which is obviously a shot for shot port. I think I even read an interview where they mentioned that they wanted you to feel like you were playing OOT despite the new graphics. The camera angles and such will be similar if not identical.
I'm just looking forward to playing this on the go and in 3D.

Better. People complained about the water in Kokiri forest but when a vid popped up, people saw how much better it looked. The whole game will look better than the screens even suggest.TheGreatMightyPoo said:

Too small. Looks like they ran out of bricks.Naked Snake said:
Honestly? The vibrant colors look much more consistent with the overall artstyle they've been using for this remake. The old CGI backgrounds looked completely tacked on and out of place (besides being a blurry, washed out mess per se).
I agree that some areas we've seen (Gohma's lair, the entrance of the Forest temple) should look a bit darker, though.

From what I've seen so far, the biggest creative changes/improvements (bomb shop, hyrule castle town, hyrule castle) are what I wish they did to the whole game.
The other side of the coin: textured mouths, rounded shadows, link being without a detailed shadow, lack of volumetric fog in places with fog, lack of detailed fingers on characters (because that animation information wasn't there in the first place, but they aren't adding it) is what is pushing the game down.

Town looks gooood! Water looks... uh
It's stereoscopic, it would be literally impossible to recreate with static panoramas.

Actually, you can't. Not the ones that rotate 360 degrees. Each 'eye' needs to revolve relative to a shared central point. The non rotating cameras would be fine as renders of course, but it's best to keep it consistent.

The rooms in houses were a particularly bizarre descision, some rooms are 3D and some do that virtual tour thing, despite being completely dull inside.

I want an extra dungeon and a camera shop! like link's awakening DX had!artwalknoon said:
A camera shop, be it like Majora Mask/Wind Waker (with a trophy room!) or like Link's Awakening "pictures taken from a photographer of game moments" would be awesome.
