But what will the game be after Miyamoto adds in some anachronistic dual screen controls?

 

[matrix-cat]

Might get through the intr-

90 minutes? They might get through the inevitably boring intro at this rate

FUCK

 

[bobbychalkers]

The game better impress, a subpar 90 minute demo will not serve the game well. It will be interesting to see what elements EAD took from western game design.

 

[Nyoro SF]

One male 45 minute demo, one female 45 minute demo

 

[takriel]

"This is no demo. This is the whole game. We give you 90 minutes with it. Make the best out of it."

 

[Guevara]

90 minutes? Cool, should be just enough time to get through the tutorial

 

[Rösti]

Oh wow, I'm cited on GAF. Cool!

"Nintendo will offer show attendees two extended demos of the Wii U version of the game that will finally let them step into the wilds of Hyrule and explore some of the grasslands, forests and mountains that they’ve been given mere glimpses of to date."

"we recommend setting aside 1 - 1.5 hours"

Without giving some more press-centric details, there you go.

And now I'm curious.

 

[Anth0ny]

the partner character better pester the player into taking a break every 30 minutes



also, I really don't like the sound of a 90 minute zelda demo almost a year before the full game launches. it's not necessary...

 

[Htown]

so the game is just about done and they're just holding it for next year for business reasons?

 

[LambdaTeos]

90 minute demo doesn't mean it's all so you can go and explore, I expect it to see the new mechanics, and some explanation between scenarios like "now, please try to do this with this new item" and you try it for 5 minutes, and then "now try to do this with the horse" and you try for 5 more minutes and so on.."

Still, this shows how big the game is coming to be...

I can't wait u.u

Yeah, it should be a 5 second demo as their only showing at E3.

 

[Justice_Bolt]

I'm hyped for the game on NX but man 90 minutes is too much :/

 

[aBarreras]

so the game is just about done and they're just holding it for next year for business reasons?

or the first area is completed without issues and they are finishing and polishing the rest, but yeah business reasons are clearly the reason of the delay lol

 

[spekkeh]

1 NX and 1 Wii U version.

I've been toying with this idea. What if they present the NX controller and let you see how it changes Zelda. And so people can have a taste for how it changes their favorite game, before doing the full blowout with all the additional stuff later.

I mean it would be a retread of Wii U and thetefore massively stupid, but at the same time also kind of cool and very much like Nintendo.

Edit: oh on record that it's two Wii u demos. Damnit, why is Nintendo making it hard to get hype and then heartbreakingly disappointed. This is not how Nintendo E3s should go.

90 mins is too much for what? This is for the press, unless you are in the press then I guess it may be too much.

The livestream from treehouse is proabably gonna be longer than 90 mins if we are going off the previous years. There is gonna be a lot of stuff to show and no one is forcing you to watch it.

 

[N.Grim]

It was already clear

 

[Oersted]

I don't get it

A subpar demo would not do a game favors. Yeah.

They always have different Zelda demos. Two demos is actually less than what Skyward Sword (Flying, Dungeon, Boss) and Twilight Princess (Dungeon, Horse fight, Town) got.

Exactamundo, I want a blowout as we've seen .1% of this game over the years.
The demo and information you get from it can be anywhere from 0 minutes to however long they show and/or talk about it.

 

[-Horizon-]

90 minutes for 2 demos? wow

either those demos are expansive with tons of things to do or the reps need the time to explain new stuff...or both lol

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Probably both.

 

[Hot Coldman]

one 15-minute demo where you play as male link

one 15-minute demo where you play as perrin kaplan

Ha, that's a name I haven't heard in a while.

 

[Anth0ny]

Yeah, it should be a 5 second demo as their only showing at E3.

it should be a normal length demo along with demos for a bunch of other games but nintendo is fucking weird

a 90 minute demo gives away too much for ANY game, let alone a zelda game. I want to experience that shit myself.

and I definitely don't have the discipline to NOT watch this demo and religiously study every frame. So they shouldn't do it at all.

 

[aBarreras]

climb towers to reveal map and unlock fast travel points

a 90 minute demo gives away too much for ANY game, let alone a zelda game. I want to experience that shit myself.

so we have people saying that they probably wont even complete the intro, and we have people that are saying that they will reveal too much, you cant win on the internet!

 

[-Horizon-]

Probably both.

10 minutes to show off the new fishing mechanics and fish AI
move over COD Ghosts

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Aaaaaand this is the final boss
Thank you everybody hope you play the game after seeing everything

The End

 

[Easy_D]

See that grass? You can cut it.

I can totally picture Miyamoto demoing the game cutting grass for 90 minutes

 

[NSESN]

Well if Nintendo is confident bringing a 90 min demo, the game should be shaping up nicely.

 

[ebullientprism]

90 minutes? So this is the only game they are showing?

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Did yall not watch treehouse and Xenoblade X demos the past year? The heck

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

If the game is massive, it probably won't spoil much.

 

[bobbychalkers]

I don't get it



A subpar demo would not do a game favors. Yeah.

Obviously of course , but a bad demo that's the length of a movie is even worse.

climb towers to reveal map and unlock fast travel points

That's my fear, open world Zelda is an enticing concept but I don't want it to be a Ubisoft game.

 

[Schnozberry]

Well now, this is a curiosity. They must be expecting a slam dunk.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

I'm interested in this game and I'm sure it'll be good but

Holy shit I cannot imagine wanting to watch it for this long

 

[Hermii]

My body is ready for ultimate Zelda. Aonuma bring it!

Also I believe this kind of confirms that the Nx version will be more or less just a port.

 

[Yado]

Maybe the extra time is for waiting for other people to be done?

 

[-Horizon-]

Well now, this is a curiosity. They must be expecting a slam dunk.

Open world Zelda basketball??? :O

 

[DNAbro]

90 minutes? So this is the only game they are showing?

Yes? I feel like you are making a joke but it is the only one.

 

[Bullza2o]

I initially read it as 90 minutes including the time people wait in line. 90 minutes of the actual demo though sounds too much unless the game is really massive.

 

[Halabane]

Some of the treehouse demos have been long...but 90 mins long? Thats a lot of talking for one game. I just hope its not 80 minutes of history of Zelda and then behind the scenes footage of how the game is different and was built.

Expectations are so low.

 

[Schnozberry]

Open world Zelda basketball??? :O

Twisted Zelda vehicular combat basketball.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Open world Zelda basketball??? :O

Maybe a basketball minigame featuring Malo, dude has a 70 inch vertical unbeknownst to most.

 

[aBarreras]

this is the playable demo on nintendo booth, not a streaming by treehouse

 

[J@hranimo]

90 minutes?

That's like....30 minutes but three times. 3 halves of one hour. One hour and a half.

I'm looking forward to what this game is about

Spoiler

and the reactions of our fellow gaffers

 

[Anth0ny]

so we have people saying that they probably wont even complete the intro, and we have people that are saying that they will reveal too much, you cant win on the internet!

if the bolded is correct then we're REALLY screwed

If the game is massive, it probably won't spoil much.

I hope you're right!

I get the feeling it's going to be one dungeon, and one is just exploring the massive, open world Hyrule Field. hyrule field demo will be much longer.

 

[Nibel]

90 minutes? They might get through the inevitably boring intro at this rate

Would still be faster than getting through Uncharted 4's intro tho

 

[Enforced]

Not going to watch any previews after the new trailer.

 

[Joqu]

That's a lot of Zelda. Cool. Just hope they don't spoil the shit of this game. We got a LOT of skyward sword info before release.

 

[Ninjimbo]

I'll watch 90 minutes of new Zelda. Spoilers aren't anything to me anymore.
