I never doubted. I wonder if it will look even better when it releases like the past few console Zelda titles.

Aonuma: Zelda Wii U Trailer Wasnt Just In-Engine, It was Actually Gameplay
- Thread starter foxuzamaki
- Start date
This video has finally drawn me back to the gaming side. I hadn't noticed all these interesting wii u games, both coming up and available already. If only this were coming out this year..
I may buy the mario kart bundle today. Appears to be the best deal.

To be fair Zelda has always been 30 fps and I don't think anyone has cared.

Graphics over framerate, as long as it's locked at 30 fps.
I love the way the grass reacts to the explosion in the first part. And the particle effects. Just gorgeous.
If this is gameplay I will buy a Wii U. Fuck now I have to hope final fantasy XV is pc if I can afford to buy this.
I don't like the idea of buying 2 consoles.
If you guessed correctly about the cloak being a game mechanic then that "joke" about whether or not we were looking at Link was a meta commentary on this mechanic.

I don't get it. How can this be "Ingame"?
"Press X to unwear the cloack"??
"Press Y to awesome jump at slow mo withouth grabbing your sword and shield"?
"Press A to awesomely load a magic arrow on mid air and slow mo and then shoot it to the face of the monster while looking to the cam"?
Srsly, I just don't get it. For me that's more like an In Engine demo but with nobody playing it.

I think in game here just means it's running on the game engine vs being a pre rendered video.

I really doubt it's 1080/60.

If Naughty Dog can do that UC4 demo on PS4 at 1080p 60fps(it looks like CG), then I believe Nintendo can do this at 720p 30fps on Wii U.

The 2D Zelda games and A Link Between Walls would like to have a word with you.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
eeverything was ingame up til the destruction of the bridge which most likely be the start of a cutsceneI don't get it. How can this be "Ingame"?

There is no fucking way the Wii U can pull off those graphics.... if the actual game looks this good I will buy a Wii U

It just means real time.
In engine could be a prerendered video, done with the game engine, but beefed up.
Like Uncharted's cutscenes, for example.
Usually using better character models, better texture, more precise lighting, better AA etc.
This is realtime, meaning the graphics you'll see while playing the game.
Wii U is not some weakass repurposed Intel 386x with 128K ram with floppy disk media, man.

Yup, the wii u is capable of gorgeous visuals. Mario kart looks unbelievable as well.

I'm going to guess 1080/30. Iwata acknowledged that Zelda Wii U would have to be technically impressive, and Aonuma said 60fps was necessary for ALBW's 3D, but not for a console game.
But the title of the thread implies that it isn't "just in-engine, it was actual gameplay." Unless there was a humorous title change? Because none of the camera angles look viable for using a controller, unless it's a (lame) QTE.
Again, by "gameplay" they probably mean in-game as opposed to just in-engine.
I also wouldn't be surprised if those were Epona's actual animations when riding around in the final game.
It's not that absurd to have a camera hack and still use regular ingame animations to make a trailer.
Just look at some of DeadendThrills screenshots, he often uses camera hacks to get more dramatic shots, but still works with what we can consider gameplay.

seriously though, this shit is gorgeous. I want it in my hands right now.
I think what Zelda U is gonna impress with is zero loading screens, if Monolith could achieve it on the Wii I see no reason for Nintendo's top teams won't achieve it on the Wii U.
That way they can finally make it so it takes a while for you to realise the fact that you're in a dungeon, further blending the overworld and dungeons
What's more telling is how Link was just chilling on the horse for a few minutes while Aonuma was talking.

After seeing how nice Mario Kart 8 looked, I have no doubt that with the style they've used for this game, they could achieve this.
Don't worry by the time it releases on the PS5 you'll find the money.

Best looking game of E3 for sure, but I don't just believe it. In engine sure, but if thats gameplay than it has a terrible camera. Also allot of little things like the slow mo and the ripping off of the robe. Looks great but cmon.
You can doubt Nintendo, but there's a reason why people don't doubt Naughty Dog.

It was camera, timescale trickey, etc I think

Exactly this. You're not controlling all of that madness. It still looks pretty damn good though. The more I look at it the more I appreciate the art style.

That's in-game, Nintendo doesn't really bullshit about the graphics of their games.
Wasnt the original Wind Waker trailer at spaceworld 60fps?

Looking at what they're able to do on the weaksauce WiiU, imagine what the talented Nintendo artists and programmers could achieve if they had similar power to the PS4 available to them!
diminishing returns
Why don't people doubt Naughty Dog? They've not impressed me in years
Lol, a lot of Nintendo games are unique because of the way they utilize Nintendo's controls and system hardware, the only, and I do mean only way Nintendo games would be better on PS4 would be graphically.
So you can jump off your horse and draw your bow in mid-air? That's pretty cool. Link has been acrobatic but never THAT acrobatic.
One of the most disappointing things to me about TP was how Link was less fun to control than in WW. More acrobatics can't hurt! Would probably just be a timing-based button press, but in the heat of battle it would still feel nice to pull off.
