New Zelda: Breath of the Wild screenshots and closer look at full Hyrule map
- Thread starter Dystify
- Start date
No the actual resolution is 900p and the screens on amazon aren't reflecting it because they're compressed and cropped.
This is a direct feed screen (still jpg, but better than those).
I can never tell if these posts are serious. Also loving the comparison to linear games (one of which even has a fixed camera) and the immediate dismiss of the physics engine and all the modern technical features implemented in Zelda that still put it above. The early PS3 part is just poor shitposting.

- Except AC, none of them are open world games.
- UC2 and GoW3 (the two actually good looking examples) are no early PS3 games either (3 and 4 years after launch)
- BotW is a WiiU port
Try harder next time.

Best looking portable games of all time?
Mario Odyssey looks almost bafflingly good. I think that one will take the crown.

I think BotW would have looked much better if it was built from the ground up for a Switch, but at the end of the day it's a port. Mario in the next 9 months will look stellar comparatively, but even then it's not open world like Zelda.
I think it's safe to give BotW that title when the Switch launches, yeah. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe might have something to say when it releases, though.

I think you misremember early PS3 games..
Now cell-shade it lol.

Okay, I'm in for the Wii U version confirmed.
Might double dip if I ever get a switch.

Lighting and textures seem to be better on the switch.
If everything's the same except for res on undocked mode then I'm hyped.

You can also apparently just dive in there and grab them.
I assume shooting them with arrows works too.
You can do that too.
Tried to zoom it to make these screenhots about 6", that's impressive !
Now I'm going on media blackout on this game until the release, I've already seen too much by going to the spoilerish main thread.
lol@people shitposting called the game "early-PS3", these simpletons must not know anything about game technology (lighting improvements, modelds, physics engine, seamless open world etc etc etc)

How large is the open world really? I remember people saying it was going to be bigger than any game before it.

I remember somewhere it was mentioned to be a little smaller than Xenoblade X.

The draw distance is quite huge. Bigger than some open world games on consoles currently.
IIRC Draw Distance realies on CPU.

Might need to stop sniffing glue
Just wondering, have there been expansions to any open World Series of games where the map got smaller than the previously bigger than ever released game in the series (not counting console to previous to switch console portable hardware as it is a unique hybrid and is still marketed as a home console first)?

Are you sure these are the same pictures that have been around for 7 months? These are straight from the Amazon page for both titles as far as I can tell.
It relies on everything, though is often CPU bound on consoles.

Here's the same image, from Nintendo of America's press site. 1920 x 1080, PNG format:No the actual resolution is 900p and the screens on amazon aren't reflecting it because they're compressed and cropped.

Aonuma mentioned that on the recent Treehouse stream. It's virtually impossible to recreate the same screenshot twice, because of the TOD and weather changes.

Unless the devs use their devkits to simulate portable mode for some reason, probably not.

Wow...
And to think it looks much better in motion than in stills.

Pretty safe to say that both are bullshots then. Looks like downsampled form a resolution higher than 1080p rather than upsampled from 900p.
As for Switch vs. Wii U, I guess we have to wait for Digital Foundry. This doesn't seem comparable/reliable enough.
The great plateau fits 90 times in the map, and that already felt big with hours of e3 treehouse footage.
I doubt it, the 900p version was with other direct feed pics and they clearly showed some jaggies.

I'm getting Zelda on Wii U for sure... I think I will eventually get the Switch for Xenoblade 2 and Fire Emblem. So Maybe in late 2017, or early 2018? Idk.

Map confirms 5 pillars if it wasn't said already
How so?
Skittzo0413
Member
You can see one pillar behind the castle on the map, and from every view of the castle you can see four in front. It looks quite clear that they're arranged in a pentagon shape.

That map has an awful lot obscured, but I suppose it's for the best
The pillars surrounding the castle, that is.
There's one directly North of the castle, the two nearest ones are hard to make out but the other pair are obvious

I wonder why there are "foggy" locations on the map. Do we think there might be story/spoiler related structures that would be visible on the map without the fog/clouds covering certain areas? Mostly on the east side of the map
Map is washed out and old. Not an indication of the game map.

Some of it's like they don't even want to hint at the ocean being there, even though it was in the last trailer.
Weirdly, nobody has asked about this (and it hasn't been shown), but underwater diving was present in TP and SS, and basically every 3D Zelda except for WW. Since you can equip gear and armour, or craft potions, I would assume there's a way.
