These aren't quite 1080p, but they appear to have been rendered in 1080p not that I'm counting lines or anything.

Swipe the screen to remove cloak, jump off horse, fire bow, move grass, pet epona, etc. Just swipe the screen to do everything, game of the forever.

Some sites did mention MK8 and DK were 1080p but the the real difference is: Does all (or some) of the press release screenshots for those games show them being rendered in native 1080p? Or were they all 720p?
Honestly just sounds like a translation quirk to me. It was clearly a scripted event.

Wait, the game will be... Jaggy free?
I'm starting to warm up to the artsyle. Mich bettter than the techdemo imo.
Where did they talk about that? In the video?
Anyway, this is likely what happened. Think about it in relation to other games: Bethesda got Skyrim to work on 512MB of RAM. Rockstar got GTA V to work on 512MB of RAM. Porting over a game as expansive as Wind Waker to a system with 1GB of available RAM probably gave Nintendo a good idea of what they could accomplish under that ceiling.

You know what would be amazing? If you could latch onto enemies just like in Dragons Dogma. MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Thanks
Official Nintendo media from their e3 presser has this far been in 1080
To everyone focused on the cloak, it's possible it was there simply for the dramatic unveil. There's no guarantee that it will be in the game.
Or perhaps, for story reasons, Link is in-hiding and the cloak allows him to conceal his presence. However, upon attacking an enemy, he's forced to remove it revealing his location.
Ugh, so excited to learn more. If Nintendo showcases a hands-on demo tomorrow, or a proper full-length trailer, on the Treehouse stream, I'm not so sure I'd be able to survive that.

Agreed.
Oh wow! I expected it be In-Engine but this sounds great!
I'm a little worried about the Open World, though.
Zelda always was a little Open World, in the terms you can just leave a city / dungeon and go somewhere different. I always liked this about Zelda it had a nice story but still gave you the feeling of freedom, without loosing the focus on the story.
I'm afraid there will be too much freedom and either they or me will loose the focus on the main plot. I'm sure many of you will now disagree but in singleplayer games I prefer a great story over open world / sandbox gameplay.
I hoped the graphic style would be a little more serious and dark this time, but the trailer looks great so far.

The images from the zelda wii u website are 1280x720, where are the 1080p images from?
Press Kit maybe?

Ah that must be it, so I misremembered.
I think 720p would be less of a problem with the new Zelda's art style than with, say, MK8, but 1080p sure would look good.

Duuuude..... I want to see more of this game so BAD.
Yeah, probably. I tried to get in earlier but the credentials did not work.

The fact that every action game with large enemies doesn't just copy Dragon's Dogma outright is a real crime

Nah, Xenoblade X looks too much like a PS2 game.

They have impossible IQ.
Here is WW's Press Kit image:
And here's the new Zelda's press kit:
How can a much simpler game have so many more jaggies?
I know Nintendo never does bullshots, but we're going to have to wait until this game gets closer to release to believe this kind of stuff.
If only we had high quality video footage ={

bu.. but... it aint link. it's a female rugby player sent back from the future. actually, the whole team was sent back to replace link and zelda and others who have disappeared. there was a rip off cartoon based on this only using football players set in camelot instead of hyrule.

The more I rewatch the trailer the more I doubt it was truly gameplay. I'm more inclined to believe it was an in-engine sequence
WWHD has enough framerate problems as is, probably adding AA would just have made it much more notable. Anytime any sort of explosion happened the FPS dropped significantly.
I'm in the in-engine camp, but it's always possible they used the debug camera. They used it a ton for MK8, most noticeably is in the reveal trailer when they show the anti-gravity side of a track and then pan over to the normal side of the track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WBd2pLpsl0#t=36
6 month gc port vs super optimized ground up code?
Looks like gameplay to me.
They're just using a developer camera to shoot the action from different angles, slow things down, etc. The jump attack? Probably just some acrobatic dismount they're adding to the horse combat they started in TP. And actually, you can see Link aim the first two shots (from horse back) with the same sort of movement you'd expect when controlling Link. As for the bridge collapsing when it did (the only other bit I think would give people pause), perhaps the horse won't ride through water, so they just let the creature cut them off, breaking the bridge (it appears parts of the environment are destructible), and thus Epona reared up and Link was forced to deal with the creature right then and there. (And yes, I know it might not be "Link")
It's extremely promising, and I trust Nintendo will deliver. They can be absolute wizards in HD if Mario Kart 8 and 3D World are any indication.

Indeed.
Sometimes, I wonder if Reggie even knows how to use a controller lol
It was a complete disaster when he played Mario Kart 7 a few years ago.
