Dan Ryckert asserted the game was 'framey' on the Beastcast.

Are we really freaking out about the first room in the game that's been shown in trailers, E3 2016 demos, Switch reveal events and other assorted media?
L i k e.
Yeah, uh, I'm gonna assume that's unintentional and just stop reading this thread now. But that's pretty exciting if it's what I think it is

"I just did the prologue of Breath of the Wild on Wii U. Unfortunately, it's an amazing ad for Switch (version)."
In the early morning and dusk there is a haze effect that means a lot of people think the whole game looks like that which is unfortunate. But yeah, thats why some screens seem less fuzzy
Instead of putting the filter on the cover like always it's now in the game itself.
:aaah:
A lot of weird comments around the web. I think there's some sort of generational gap going on
"Why is everyone hyping up this game?"
"Why is this so popular?"
"Is Nintendo money hatting everybody?"
Etc
The concept of there being gamers who haven't played a Zelda title does not bode well...

the tint is actually yellow, it just makes the blue sky appear green-ish
but either way i don't think it's too bad. it's just an artistic choice.
maybe its 'time of day' causing the greenish yellow look?
Garrett Hawke

could be. either way i don't think it's a big deal tbh. just a little warm
truly shaking things up!
Watched the first 15 minutes on Wii u and it's not bad
People were really upset last night over seeing a plain old barrel lol
The most a Zelda game has sold is OOT at just under 11M. Tons of gamers have never played a Zelda game

going to be a loooong wait for the switch for me ;_;

Thanks, so if anyone needs to know, the E3 build lighting is removed from the Wii-U version as well.

Wtf man. Did you just spoil there being a barrel in BotW?? Dammit you just ruined my day. Ughhhh 😡😡
Well the early morning and dusk would look a lot better if the sky was a color other than green.
From what I've seen so far with tge streams there is rarely a dip in frame rate (WiiU), it's improved from e3 but I wonder if it would become anything worse than mild if a lot of action was on-screen.
All reviewers have been playing on the Switch, yeah? Is the Switch to blame or...?

Any new gameplay videos that don't spoil anything major?
Please tell me that's just a particular time of day. That white balance is just atrocious.

Any word on the Wii U framerate? It looked to be hitting as low as 20fps in the last gameplay at the game awards.
If anyone uses chrome you can use this video blocker to avoid spoilers on YouTube https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...hk?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog

The Edge review claims the Wii U version has more frequent framerate drops than Switch, but it's nothing that comes close to ruining the experience.
Also, Zelda hasn't made it to the non-gaming community's awareness in the way that Mario and Pokemon have.

It definitely works! I'm using Firefox and I blocked any reference to Zelda, breath, botw, link, etc.
Went into Zeltik's channel and all videos are gone

The more Wii U footage I see, the less concerned I am about sticking with that version.

Nintendo did Wii U owners right with this game. Most other companies would have cancelled a title like this for their dead system or delayed its release by at least a few weeks (which they did with Twilight Princess). And the game seems to have been optimized pretty well for the console Good on them.

Yeah and some people are rewarding them pirating the game =(
OrbitalBeard

Well, there will always be assholes. What's sad is that some of them are GAF members. We had one earlier post a picture of their pirated Wii U copy
It's the minimum I would expect or hope of them.
OrbitalBeard
Member
It would have been totally feasible for them to delay the Wii U version by a week or two. And hell, they could have gotten away with outright cancelling it too. Some Wii U owners would be pissed, but most of them would have caved and bought a Switch. Yes, I know some of you wouldn't have.

Very happy to see this, hope it performs well too, I'm hearing mixed things.

Seeing them side by side is nice. It looks like people that can't/don't want to get a Switch are still getting a great product.

I'm gonna need more impressions of the frame rate for the WiiU version. The graphics look good enough, but it's the performance that has me worried.
I sorta hope someone with an early copy goes into one of the more denser areas. So far the game seems pretty smooth on the plateau

Possibly some improved contrast and obviously there is the res which you can't see there but fucking hell, that's not bad. Almost tempted to cancel my Switch order.

The narrative is shaping up to be a bit worse than Switch, but not enough to detract from the whole experience.

Compressed youtube is nothing to go by at the moment
Anyways they do look similar.

They removed the photo he or she posted in two BotW threads and bailed.
Welp. Those look identical. Someone prove me wrong for $400.
