Support NeoGAF

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

The hell is wrong with you? Why would I do that?

Its possible

 

[fluffydelusions]

Hate that this is an actual "midnight" release here on the west coast opposed to 9pm

 

[Coffinhal]

Your fix should have said "leave the internet" if you don't trust GAF.

Yes of course. I'd say every social media or videogames clickbait website, there are places where they don't care about Zelda and it's 100% safe to be. Neogaf is 98% haha.

 

[gardfish]

These next few days are going to be absolutely brutal.

 

[takriel]

oh my god the ost is leaking please help me

Fuck we gotta stay strong!

 

[phanphare]

welp, this thread is my home on the internet until I'm deep in the game

be safe out there everybody

 

[ReyVGM]

Welp, can't enter youtube anymore. After listening to that track the main page is now filled with the entire soundtrack filled with spoilery names.

 

[Hoo-doo]

There's a livestream up in the spoiler thread. Wii-U version. Live right now.

 

[enoirmeplz]

Is there any mention of how many save slots we get per profile?

 

[SomTervo]

I'm outta here, not that you can spoil a 40-+ hour experience with a few words or pics.

I'm not bothered about Zelda's story, like at all, but yeah. Better safe than sorry.

Time to go brain deep into Horizon Zero Dawn.

 

[CharminUltra]

Good thing I don't do social media anymore. GAF will be my only sanctuary til launch.

 

[ReyVGM]

Is there any mention of how many save slots we get per profile?

One hard save and 5 auto saves.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Seriously, guys. The entire game has leaked and is easily obtainable by any asshole out there who wants to ruin your day. Stay off ALL social media.

 

[Plum]

Welp, can't enter youtube anymore. After listening to that track the main page is now filled with the entire soundtrack filled with spoilery names.

I'm scared that, having watched the three main trailers so much over the past week, I'll start getting shit like "DARTH VADER IN ZELDA? FINAL BOSS!!!!" in my suggestion box.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Has there been any leaks about how long the average play time is to beat the game? I know it's massive but just in general.

 

[Nanashrew]

There's a livestream up in the spoiler thread. Wii-U version. Live right now.

So I guess that means it's time to leave the planet.

 

[SweetDonuts]

Oh shit. Time to get into the bunker.

I think I'll just stay in this thread and even be careful of YouTube now, stay safe ya'll

 

[ReyVGM]

Has there been any leaks about how long the average play time is to beat the game? I know it's massive but just in general.

Some reviewer said he was 40 hours in and "barely scratched the surface".

 

[Koyuga]

I've heard 20-ish hours for the main story, but I'm guessing its closer to 30. But in a game like this, who can focus on just the main quests? This is easily going to be a 100+ hour games for me. I spent 70 hours on my first playthrough in Twilight Princess.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Good thing I cleared and paused all search and viewing history so Youtube can't recommend things to me ever again.

Pretty sure it's more than that.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Damn. This sounds Witcher 3 level of massive

 

[LordKano]

Just want you to know that the Wii U version looks rad. Not as sharp as the Switch one, but still, it won't downplay the experience if you play it on Wii U.

 

[enoirmeplz]

One hard save and 5 auto saves.

Thanks!

Try cleaning your YouTube History. That's what I do when I start getting unwanted suggestions.

 

[CrazyHorse]

Too much info. I am going to play MM instead for the nextr few days to distract me. Bye all Zelda threads.

 

[Koyuga]

One hard save and 5 auto saves.

Games need to stop doing this one save per profile thing. Especially when they don't have New Game Plus.

 

[metalslimer]

Holy shit at that music linked above, glad to know some great tracks are going to be in game

 

[Plum]

Thanks!

I've paused my search history and cleared it but I still get recommendations.

But still, I don't have any of the usual gaming sites that post spoilerific gameplay videos (looking at you, IGN) in my subscriptions so if I just stay there I should be fine.

 

[Inspectah_Deck]

I just played the first few minutes of the leaked WiiU version and honestly, I can´t see a difference to the Switch version.

Just yesterday I watched these Gamersyde videos on the same TV and they look absolutely the same:
http://gamersyde.com/news_our_switch_videos_of_zelda_botw-18831_en.html

Same LoD, same Textures, same LoD in distance.

I think in the end it just come down to resolution, framerate (?) and improved audio on Switch.

 

[Lgndryhr]

I wonder if the area from E3 2014 trailer is still in the game.

Switch version has a better resolution, better AA and better framerate. That's about as much as you can do in less than a year.

 

[SoraanTribal]

One hard save and 5 auto saves.

WTF that's stupid. Zelda needs at least 3!

 

[Metalgus]

To the people who have watched the Wii U version being installed and played, how long did the install take? I want to schedule my gaming session for Friday as I'm tight for time. Thanks.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I think in the end it just come down to resolution, framerate (?) and improved audio on Switch.

So exactly what Nintendo's been claiming for a month and a half, then.

 

[WadeitOut]

Fuck we gotta stay strong!

You stay strong while I sit here at work listening to one of the best video game OSTs I've ever heard.

So good.

 

[Inspectah_Deck]

+ improved audio.

But all assets are the same, thats good I think.

Whats also interesting is, that there is a brief loadingtime everytime when I return to the game from the Homemenu.
I guess the game uses every possible ressource it can, kind of like SSB4 on 3DS.

 

[Neoweee]

They probably should have multiple save files without having to change profiles. Yes, you can create other profiles, but is the standard going to be having a second Switch profile as a dumping ground for different playthroughs of games?

 

[Kilrogg]

I hope the Jan 13 trailer music is part of the OST. So, and I hate to say this... epic.

 

[Effect]

Well I'm out. Don't want to take the risk that someone will find it fun to account suicide by just making a thread or a post full of spoilers because they take pleasure in being a spiteful sob to others. This why I've been very careful about who I follow on Twitter, don't really read twitter threads from Nintendo tweets, and have stayed away from other forums. NeoGaf is the last place I've taken the risk with. Might still check out the preorder or technical threads for the rest of the day and then that's it until Saturday. Might try to stay away from the main forum page though. I hope I can remain strong. Trying to stay away from youtube save for a very few select peopl that I know don't post spoilers.

 

[Inspectah_Deck]

You can save everywhere you want and create new files, kind of like Skyrim, Witcher etc.

 

[casey_contra]

I think in the end it just come down to resolution, framerate (?) and improved audio on Switch.

For someone who is kind of an audio idiot, what does this exactly entail?

 

[jariw]

Yes, I have heard parts of the and other trailer music

Spoiler

in the end credits music

.

 

[Kthulhu]

One hard save and 5 auto saves.

That sucks, I wanted to let my friend start his own until he could get a copy.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

For someone who is kind of an audio idiot, what does this exactly entail?

all I know is part of it is better "environmental" sounds.

 

[Vital Tundra]

For someone who is kind of an audio idiot, what does this exactly entail?

Ive been wondering too but it has something to do with nvidia's tech or something.

 

[enoirmeplz]

That sucks, I wanted to let my friend start his own until he could get a copy.

Just add a profile for him. Saves are separate per profile

 

[Lgndryhr]

One hard save and 5 auto saves.

And this tells me to create a few extra profiles on the Switch. Have my profile then a few other profiles so people can play and not access my save file.

 

[uncle_koploski]

I can't believe the Wii U version leaked.

I gotta get off the internet for the next couple days.

god speed neogaf, god speed.

 

[SRV]

Any chance you have seen anything that points to being able to go fishing with a rod?

 

[jariw]

For someone who is kind of an audio idiot, what does this exactly entail?

The speculation I read earlier was that the additional RAM on Switch allowed for less compression of the sounds.

 

[The Lamp]

I can't believe the Wii U version leaked.

I gotta get off the internet for the next couple days.

god speed neogaf, god speed.

I can.

The idea that other people in the public are playing this game right now and I am not because I am waiting for my Switch copy is literally (not figuratively) killing me lol
