Sure, just like Quantum Break was Xbox's The Last of Us

Haahahaha, there ya go.
Nothing I've seen of ReCore made me stop and go, "yup, that's XB1 Zelda alright." Who writes this shit?

 

[Josh378]

Soo Sony got Horizon, Xbox got Recore and Nintendo has breath of the wild....2017 will be interesting.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Helping compose some orchestral covers does not Massive Zelda Musical Experience make.

 

[DZ_b_EZ]

What is this craziness???

LOL this opinion piece is really reaching. I want to play this game but my hype was crippled a bit after E3.

 

[SOR5]

Haahahaha, there ya go.

Nobody said QB was the Last of Us apart from the tweet of some random fan who got it early

Watch Dogs 2 will be the next Last of Us

I expect you to reference this post from now on

ReCore comes out in like two weeks and a half.

 

[LukasTaves]

I think the game will be really great, but wtf?

The game is not going to be a Zelda, specially not because of those reasons XD

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Lots of games over the years have been compared to zelda......they didn't turn out so well.

Okami and Beyond Good and Evil turned out pretty well, though.

 

[Messofanego]

David Houghton made another silly comparison recently, and doesn't explain exactly how Gears of War 4 compares to GotG other than you have a squad and they're sometimes funny

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Seems more like a Metroid game than anything. It even has spider ball rails.

 

[udivision]

Metroid and ReCore are both girls as well.

 

[Steve McQueen]

That's a bold statement

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

By virtue of it not being a fixed camera game. Exploration doesn't make it Zelda, especially because of how fairly linear it was. It was just as much Metroid as it was Zelda (which is to say vague similarities).

And yet it still felt nothing at all like a Zelda game aside from a few random dungeon puzzles. I never understood the "It's like a cross between Zelda and God of War" comments. Sure, if by "cross" you mean 20% Zelda and 80% God of War.

The puzzle dungeons, overworld traversal w/"Epona", and powerups were obviously taken from Zelda. The games (meaning OoT/TP and Darksiders 1) have very similar game design. The finer points of combat are where the GoW comparisons come in, but you can't beat Darksiders just mashing buttons.

 

[TannerDemoz]

It's GamesRadar

 

[Wandering Robot]

Besides the obvious and silly reaching, I don't think ReCore and Zelda look much alike tonally. Seems to have more of a Xenoblade feel than a Zelda one (but make of that what you will).

 

[entremet]

Literally the first reason listed is that it's being developed by ex-Metroid devs.

It's a bad comparison with bad reasons.

Wasn't Retro working on a cancelled Zelda?

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Seems more like a Metroid Prime game than anything. It even has spider ball rails.

FTFY

Yeah there are quite a few Prime elements such as lock-on targeting, different ammo types for different enemies, that double jump and those floating circular platforms.

Definitely the most Metroid Prime game since Metroid Prime 3. One of the reasons I'm excited for it. I'm more excited just because it's not a typical shooter and it has puzzle elements.

 

[Mr-Joker]

No.

 

[VAD]

I'm hyped for this game not by the Zelda name drop but by the Metroïd one.

 

[Trace]

I'm dropping in to put a halt to any streak considering Darksiders 1 more than a mediocre action title.

On another note, what's been shown of ReCore hasn't been particularly impressive. I find the comparison a bit misguided if anything.

It's alright, Zelda is a mediocre action title so the comparison fits.

 

[SOR5]

Now this is where the thread gets interesting

This. That site's been pretty poor for at least 3 years now.

 

[Rembrandt]

who said that?

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

As someone really looking forward to Recore i hate these name drops and comparisons.
Like show me more gameplay and let it speak for itself, its as bad as the classic film "from the director of" lines

The only reason I didn't add the Prime label is due to it being in third person and seeming a lot more action-oriented than Retro's games. It reminds me more of Super Metroid in that sense, though it certainly has plenty of Prime elements as well.

NESPH!!! Hey!!!!

 

[Black Mantis]

who said that?

Hip-Hop Gamer did.

 

[dlauv]

Well if there is any challenge at all it will likely be better than any Zelda since MM.

 

[krang]

Said no one ever.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I'll pick it up on Steam if it isn't a turd but the previews so far aren't looking too hot, and Mighty Number 9 was hyped the same way - Ex Capcom employees, and all that.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

NESPH!!! Hey!!!!

Whattup?

 

[the black pearl]

It looks more like XBOX One's Ratchet and Clank.

 

[Attack You]

Mean nothing as Metroid is not "Nintendo Space Zelda" the closest to that would be Star Fox Adventure.

I chuckled. And because of this thread, I now want "Metroid is just Zelda with guns" and "Zelda is just Metroid with swords" to become a thing.

 

[ZeroXZee]

I really liked GamesRadar sometime in the past, but nowdays...

 

[Messofanego]

Metroid and ReCore are both girls as well.

Is Metroid Samus' daughter?

 

[WadeitOut]

If you don't think there are similarities between Metroid and Zelda you are high.

Sectioned based game with upgraded weapons required to access new areas that lead to an eventual
Boss battle. Obviously they are different games but pretending like there is no comparison is derp tier.
