Zelda Wii U - Recap of 5 hours gameplay stream
- Thread starter Chaos17
- Start date
If you look at the tablet UI, it screams second screen, and the menu system looks archaic compared to WWHD. I'm betting they ripped it all out so people aren't complaining about controls or design decisions and just enjoying the base game. At least that's what I hope, I really want motion aiming for arrows and map usage on the gamepad, and they already showed the map usage in the first showing last year.

Yeah Shrine of Resurrection suggests that he was dead at some point.

Well...remember that one guy who said that chopping trees to make bridges wasn't physics based?
Yeah
Yeah it's physics based. Be careful where you swing.

Lmao.
You have a point, but at least the game is fully playable with only one screen. I believe the NX Controller will have a gimmick and Zelda will utilize it in some way, I just dont think there will be a screen on it necesarily.
The hitboxes are fantastic as well.

This looks fantastic. I'm not a huge Zelda fan, but this is system-seller tier to me.

I can't believe all those gifs. I caught like half the stream and come back to find out that I haven't seen anything honestly... Wow.
First quarter 2017.

Their stream has real Gamma issues.

Looks so much more vibrant off a panel - and that video is taken at an angle.

I'd completely missed how tight the hitboxes were! Go, Nintendo!
...he's hot?
Hopefully he has a form outside of black plague sludge. For, you know. Reasons.

It made me interested in the nx version, good job.

Doesn't look more cartoony than a certain team based hero shooter that's been killing the charts.
Nintendo as a brand has an uphill climb to recapture the mass market and 'core' gamers. I'm not expecting a great shift, but this is definitely a step in the right direction. I hope they will keep this up with NX' software output.

I know I know it is a minor detail...but can we switch to left-handed link?
no (unless there's mirror hero mode in the game)
Ok I had a look at other gameplay videos and something seems to be off about the 5 hour link posted in the OP.
The game looks like it's running at 20FPS in the video posted in the OP, yet when looking at other videos like this it looks perfectly fine. The colour composition in the OP video is also off and looks washed out compared to how it actually looks in the other videos.

Looking fantastic.

I have a question: will that tree ever respawn? Would be awesome if it somehow stays cut for ever, but I highly doubt it

Stasis is such a cool new "Item"/ App or whatever the official name is.
That's for sure. However Overwatch isn't tied to hardware that has barely sold/is new and unproven.
Yeah the stream fucked up the framerate and colours.
I don't know why, but that really annoys me ~_~" I know it shouldn't

Game of E3, without question.
I'm far from a Nintendo fan (only owned the N64 and Gamecube), but this looks like an incredible achievement.

Probably been posted already, but it appears that no, there's (a little bit?) more to the map than that. Here you can see slightly more a bit higher up on the map. It could go higher still, and maybe other directions too.
Well, you respawn at one every time you game over. I don't think it necessarily means Link died or dies, but his husk is dragged to one of these things to heal. Essentially they're creating a contrivance for respawning.
But there has to be a reason why this Link was put in stasis for 100 years while the kingdom was under siege. Him being the Hero of Time after falling to Ganon would make sense. He got his ass handed to him and he was put in stasis while Zelda used her magic to keep Ganon confined to Hyrule Castle.

This. The 20fps videos are coming from youtube stream that is usually crap, the game runs at ~30FPS with a few minor dips as usual.
Yeah, it seems NX won't have a second screen otherwise they wouldn't have put the map back.
The scrollable L/R buttons that were pattented are something that will integrate well into this.

Haha I actually lol'd.
given that you have a scrolling mechanic by press L/R on the d-pad then scrolling with the right stick currently?
Yeah, probably
Yeah, I think they said so on the giantbomb podcast. You don't have to do it, but when you do it marks different points of interest on your map.

My thoughts on the reveal of this game.
I'm a huge Zelda fan. Always have been since OOT. Started the series with that game and consider it the greatest game of all time.
Anyway, after watching pretty much most of the coverage yesterday, I don't feel convinced about what I see, or rather the lack of what I see in the game. There were a lot of back and forth rumours about no towns/villages. I'm glad that Bill cleared that up and that there are indeed towns but I don't like the way they've handled the presentation. Is it such a big deal to show us these towns and NPCs? We're going to find out eventually, right? Or do they expect to still keep it a secret until we play the game?
The other gripes I have is the rumour which hasn't been debunked about there only being 4 dungeons in the game. I really hope that isn't true. I guess the only reason I give the rumour credence is because there are apparently over 100+ shrines (mini-dungeons), so I can believe that they had to make cuts elsewhere by reducing the number of mainline dungeons. Wouldn't be the first time it's happened in a Zelda game.
The overworld is vast, it really is but watching the stream made me bored at times.Apart from a few bokoblins, guardians, and treasure chests, what else is there to do in the overworld? What's the goal? The areas shown imo are devoid of any character. So we saw, ice areas, forest areas and skirted around the desert areas with none of them having a story to tell. It just felt bland to me. I guess I appreciate stumbling across an area like Zora's Domain for example and have an entire area into itself, detailed rich in story and history etc.I could be wrong and we may see that in the game but this is based on what I've seen so far.
My other concern is we can skip the story entirely and fight the boss of the game. That sort of implies to me that the story doesn't have a great deal of importance and progression.
I guess seeing this game is making me appreciate TP a whole lot more. I mean I already loved the game as it is.
I really wanted to love this game like most people here have from the trailer and footage shown. I really do. I just feel disappointed with what was shown or rather lack of. Stings even more that I waited 5 years for this but this could all be knee-jerk reactions though.

Just because you can get to the final boss immediately, doesn't mean you will or beat him. Given the game's structure (so far) it seems like a Titanic feat to do. It's not something first time players are going to be able to do.
