Made the spoiler free impression thread

[The Last One]

We can hope the emulator fixes many of the wiiu versión issues, i can't believe Nintendo made a crappy version of a game, does this have happened before?

I mean, the WiiU version is not that smooth, but it's far (really far) from being a "crappy version". Especially considering the game's huge scale.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Any good video comparisons for the performance?

 

[Nanashrew]

Still getting the Wii U version. when I can get a Switch I'll double dip and buy the Switch version.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Yeah that makes sense. I could see them doing a MK8 bundle too.

MAK8 Snipperclips Family Switch bundle, get on it Nintendo.

Isn't this already the spoiler free impression/preview thread?

 

[GRW810]

That looks terrible.

Please explain. Looks fine to me.

Nope this is the thread to talk about none-story stuff that happens in the first five hours but could be considered spoilers.

I mean I haven't seen any of the wiiu footage, but that gamekult impressions sounds like it is an awfull version, hopefully they are just exaggerating.

You'd think so but apparently people are wigging out about getting spoiled by previews in.. the preview.. thread

This was a press preview thread originally

 

[OverturePT]

The wait only gets harder... fuck me. I'm ready to dodge every spoiler that comes out.

 

[Dremorak]

I think we should have a thread to talk about stuff related to the first 7 hours, no spoilers, except mechanics not related to story, wildlife in the plateau and one region out...

Spoiler

Yes I am being sarcastic, these new threads are getting ridiculous

 

[SinCityAssassin]

You can have a version run well enough but still make a clear case for a version upgraded for better hardware.

 

[Audioboxer]

The framerate dips on Wii U are disappointing to see. Image quality looks damn decent though.

 

[Regginator]

Man, the Switch version has sharper graphics, a further draw distance, and probably a more consistent frame-rate. But there's no chance I'll get the Switch at launch, or several months after, so I only have the Wii U to play this for the foreseeable future

Should I just get it on the Wii U, and risk a slightly less good (if at all) first-time experience, or wait until I get the Switch around autumn/winter this year?

Play it now.

Get it on Wii U then on Switch later this year (if you often replay your games) ?

Anyway just play it if you want to play it, a few jaggies and framerate drops won't stop you from enjoying it.

If I were in your position, I would definitely play it.

I don't have a WiiU and I don't want to buy a Switch just for Zelda, but I'm hyped as hell. I really don't know what to do.

Also, apparently the draw distance is the same? I don't know where people are getting that it's better on Switch.

Just get it now then. No way would I wait that long just to play one game.

 

[Mistle]

WOW at the Hyrule Castle theme. Seriously wow. I ain't listening to any more though lol..

Any doubts over music people had should thoroughly be quashed.

 

[Lasty95]

Yeah and it's really really not going to be much different.

Get it on U.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

That said, we got anymore game media previews or is everyone just too busy playing Zelda.

 

[DecoReturns]

Is this thread still safe?

serious spoilers seem to be abound now.

Some links to tracks off of the OST for the game apparently, but other than that, we good.

I imagine that the games media at large is currently trying to beat the game desperately so they can have a review ready for Thursday.

Especially given the fact the prices here (you know where) won't make Switch an affordable device at all

 

[KrawlMan]

Agreed. The Wii U might be punching a bit above its weight here, but I doubt it's anywhere near unplayable. Most accounts have said the intro area is the roughest bit, and that's what Gamekult was judging.

Open both in new tabs and flip back and forth. A lot of distant trees aren't rendered and the volcano is just a silhouette with no visible lava flows. A good amount of the terrain seems smoothed out as well.

This one really speaks for itself.

 

[TwilightPrincess]

French journalist from gamekult is reporting severe framerate problems from the Wii U version of the game, especially when you use the physics items.

Yeah, and the aliasing is worse.

I don't think we know whether those Wii U screens are from the final build. The last comparison I know is from those Amazon JP pictures.

Gamekult did judge more. They said the Switch version would run fine if you leave the plateau. Wii U version has problems also in cutscenes and when physics come into play.

Cool, saw the music and didn't click incase title track names were spoilers

 

[Hattori]

so essentially this is not a twilight princess situation and that one version is clearly superior to the other?

 

[Distresssss]

Switch undocked is probably the best version overall.

 

[civilstrife]

Twilight Princess on Wii was superior if only for the Widescreen support.

 

[Hattori]

I was considering on getting the Wii U version as a collectors item, but if it's as bad as the impressions say, I'm going to hold off

 

[Gormless Noodle]

Twilight Princess on Wii was superior if only for the Widescreen support.

Gamecube version was fine though outside of that. Don't remember if motion controls were mandatory on the Wii version also, but that would definitely put it massively below the GC version, well for me at least.

Why would you care about performance if it's going to sit on your shelf?

 

[Charamiwa]

I think so because they're identical for the most part, and then the Switch is more powerful (and it's a better piece of hardware, let's face it).

 

[Innuendo84]

Twilight Princess was flipped on the wii, so I'm not sure which version was superior.

 

[Jonneh3003]

That Wii U performance thread got pretty toxic pretty fast, the small clips I've seen from the Wii U version look perfectly playable.

 

[PrimeBeef]

I preferred the Wii version. I really enjoyed the motion controlled Zelda's.

somebody with the Wii U version earlier in this thread posted up to date screens and this is no longer the case.

Wii version had a bloom effect that the GC version didn't. Bloom was all the rage back in 2006.

 

[victreeb3l]

Fuck I wanna click the OST spoiler so bad ahhhhh. Im as hyped for the soundtrack as I am for the game itself 😫😫😫

 

[Jonneh3003]

I preferred the Wii version. I really enjoyed the motion controlled Zelda's.

The HD version is the best of both worlds but purely on GC vs Wii, I prefer the Wii verison. Point controls were brilliant as was the 16:9 ratio.

Where have you seen this?

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I am sure it is.
It depends on how picky you are and your standards when it comes to stuff like that.
I don't see it as Bayonetta PS3 versus the 360 version though.
