If /v/ existed in 2001, how would they have reacted to this reveal?
I can't remember how they reacted to Federation Force, but I would assume like that!
with tears, salt and memes
>>330998052
There was a petition back then, too.I signed it.
I regret my negative reaction, that artstylye turned out to be the best in the series. Dem high-ceiling dungeons makin' you feel small.
>Spaceworld 2000 Zelda tech demo
If you're old enough to remember that, you're old enough to remember when people got upset when they got something completely different.
Of course, people expected Zelda to always look semi-realistic, so when they got cel-shaded Link instead, there were tons of outrage and petitions urging Nintendo to stop production. All those old Nintendo Power and EGM issues, full of salty tears
>OMG WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CASUALIZED DISNEY SHIT WAAAAHHH ZELDA IS RUINED FOREVER FUCK YOU NINTENDO BOYCOTT THIS KIDDY GARBAGE1111
Like that.
>>330998052
Kind of. Federation Force problem is more that it's a side of a series with no mainline game in over 5 years and that one didn't really improve people's feelings towards Metroid. While the reaction to WW was for a different reason.
The reason behind the anger back then was that it was at the time when Sony just kept hammering that Nintendo=kids and that if you were anyone over the age of 10 there is nothing for you. People felt Zelda was Nintendo's "adult" game. And felt the new Zelda game would show people that Nintendo wasn't for kids. Then Nintendo showed off the art style and to most it just cemented that idea. The reaction was more of a anger towards Nintendo as a whole while Federation Force was more of a reaction towards just Metroid.
Personally I never had a Gamecube and really didn't really bother looking anything up on Nintendo in that era. Only just finished WWHD a little over a year ago and man it was an amazing game. Just sad that they were forced to appeal to fans with TP which felt more like a step back in a lot of ways. Here's hoping Zelda U lives up to what they were saying because I am actually excited for the game.
>>330999824
Mods! Get in here!
WW's problem wasn't the art style, it was everything else.
>>330999824
>this is the real /v/
>>331000760
>Everything else
I fucking hated Windwaker when the first pics started coming out and only played it because my brother knew I liked Zelda games. Eventually I warmed up to it and the only issue I had was the triforce hunting bullcrap near the end.
>>330997923
>What the FUCK is this shit?
>Has Nintendo now officially lost it after Iwata's dead?
>>331001101
>I hate exploration in adventure games!
our the reason why zelda games became more lineair and full of handholding
Half of /v/ would have vocally loved it for the sake of generating salt.
>>330999824
You done goofed
>>330997923
the real question is how would /pol/ have reacted to 9/11
>>331002031
I'm sure they would have had a blast.
>>330997923
lol fucking baby game for retards
>>331000760
This.
Probably the most guilty cases of style over substance.
>>331001629
Not him but hardly anyone enjoyed that Triforce hunting part. That was way one of the biggest changes to WWHD was that part. Having to keep going to Tingle to read that map, getting the Triforce piece and return to get another map read wasn't fun.
>>331002416
lol fucking retard baby who plays games
>>330999824
>he doesn't realize he'll get banned for this
The same way they reacted to #FE
>>331002535
You don't have to go back and forth for each individual map. You can just get a bunch of maps, then get them all deciphered at once.
a lot of "lol nintenyearolds enjoy your kiddie shit" responded to with "mature games for mature gamers such as myself" with a lot of "where's my epic spaceworld trailer zelda nintendo shields will shatter" and everyone who was positive would probably be drowned out in the shitstorm as usual on /v/
>>330997923
Depends on if you mean original /v/ or current /v/ because the reactions would be completely different.
>>330999763
Man, I remember when this looked AMAZING
>fucking dog shit
I read about the shitstorm but got the game anyways because the reviews were positive. The style was odd at first but as I played I really liked some of the visual effects and it grew on me.
>>330999824
Whose fucking kid is this?
probably the same as the general public did.fuck em cel shading is always welcome in games in my opinion and Wind Waker is probably my favorite Zelda both in aesthetics and setting/theme/world/whatever you wanna call it.
>>330997923
Instant porn about Medli.
>>330998052
Federation Force's problem is not only it's ""art"" style but that it's a fucking spin-off from a saga whose last entry was 7 fucking years ago.
>>330998239
>>331002945
This. /v/ loves to shit on anything, could be the next Mario 64 in terms of innovation and they would still shit all over it.
Personally speaking though I always liked it visually and when I got my hands on it for the first time any fears about it were destroyed. Not my favourite 3D Zelda but it's right up there.
>>330999763
I still laugh at how many people today still think this (and by extension the Zelda Wii U tech demo) was an actual game that was in development.
It's painfully obvious this was never supposed to be a game but just a showcase of the system's capabilities when every ounce of power was devoted to graphics. And that's why no video game on GCN looked even remotely that good in the end, because a video game that looked like that would have run like shit.
>>330997923
Considering Celda was still a big meme on early /v/, I'd say just as autistic as you'd expect.
>>330997923
DOWNGRADE
>>330999824
Don't respond to this post. It's bait.
>that EGM april fools years later that claimed they were re-releasing Windwaker in Twilight Princess graphics. And kids at my school were falling for it.
how would have /v/ reacted? Shit I think /v/ might have been around.
>>331000043
>hammering that Nintendo=kids
Isn't everyone still doing this?
>>331005383
That was from 2005, right? /v/ was definitely around.
“Nintendo reached back into the closet of Zelda and stole this idea from the Phillips CDI, a system that used animated graphics to depict Link the SAME EXACT WAY this does. The games for the CDI were horrible, and thus Nintendo had to bring it back for some insane reason…. ...I don't know what kind of gameplay you can have in an interactive FMV cartoon much like the early days of PC-CDROM and defunct units like the Phillips CDI.”
To hell w/ them, they just turned their most popuar series into a lil kiddie game for kids who are 5 -10 yrs old!“
“I've always been a Nintendo loyalist,but after seeing that I think I'll pass on buying a GameCube if this is the quality I'll be getting.”
“Nintendo is obsessed with appealing to kids under 12 years old, but this kiddie Zelda game will have no plot, no dialogue, and no puzzles in it that make Zelda unique.”
“This is absurd! Breaking their promises to present us this piece of garbage!? It's a disgrace to the Legend and an abuse of the Gamecube's capabilities, this is surely going to crush Nintendo, these graphics are worse than the n64's!”
“Because of this change, I'm NOT buying a GameCube now... and personally I'm giving up on Nintendo. I just turned 18, and I've been a Nintendo lover since I was a kid but come on guys…”
“We have got to stop this. We can't let this get released. It will destroy the hearts of Zelda fans everywhere and ruin Nintendo's image for life. Let Miyamoto realize the mistake, and scrap the project, so he can rethink of a bigger and better Zelda.”
“Well, in one fell swoop Nintendo has not only destroyed it's most popular series, but also it's chances of selling a reasonable amount of Gamecubes.”
“If we could get enough signatures, we can get Nintendo to listen. We could cancel the "Zelda Cartoon" and make them do a GOOD ZELDA,”

I'm pretty sure I thought they were going back to their roots(which was exciting to me) since I thought he looked like the old Link, but it's been a while.
>>330997923
Just because you weren't there in 2001 doesn't mean 4chan didn't exist you idiot
>>331006232
4chan started in 2003.
>>331006143
Go away Henrypool
>>331006232
Good job being a fucking moron
>>330997923
The Zelda Cycle started because of this you know
>>331005692
It has always been a thing. Mortal Kombat on the SNES vs. Genesis was a big thing in the early 90's for instance. Its just that some people put all their hopes into the new Zelda to show Nintendo would prove they wasn't a company for kids. Gamecube was a weird time in Nintendo's life. N64 Nintendo was all about them showing they were the best in developing. Mario was insane in how 3D platforming can work and OoT proved how to do an open world action game in 3D. PS2 was the best selling console ever vs. Gamecube which was just failing around. People were just hoping Nintendo would come up with something to fight back from Sony's attacks. WW to them was just a slap in the face of people defending Nintendo.
>>331006865
There's just no hope for OoTbabbies.
>>331006581
I don't remember anyone really speaking badly about SS style. To me it's one of the few really big positive I have for the game. And Zelda U was loved by fucking everyone.
with a lot of lulz, memes, and faggotry
>>331006581
>headcannon
>>331000043
The problem you just described also applies to federation force.
Who do you think took Zelda's spot as the "adult" game on the gamecube?
>>331007717
Federation Force is more of a reaction to Nintendo usage for Metroid I feel. With the lack of any mainline/Prime game in over 5 years and the last game being so fucking bad people wish it never existed. If there was an actual Metroid game released in that time frame or them saying there was one in development the reaction would have been much more tone down.
The best example would be if the last Zelda game was SS (SS was no where near as bad as Other M but it still isn't really beloved) and Nintendo never bothered doing anything with Zelda for the 3DS/Wii U. Then at E3 Triforce Heroes was shown.
Metroid fans right now are just confused on the state of Metorid at Nintendo. And confusion tends to go into anger quickly. And Nintendo doesn't really help when the best they can do is defend Federation Force should exist rather them explain what Metroid is over at Nintendo.
>>331004517
I don't remember celda being a big thing back then. That shit died off pretty quickly once it came out in March or whenever.
I don't think they're quite the same situation. Wind Waker was still a proper title by the actual Zelda team, while Federation Force is a weird spinoffy thing by Next Level Games, who's never had anything to do with Metroid before.
>>331008624
Celda wasn't a thing on /v/, but it sure as hell was a thing on GameFAQs and other sites, especially before the title Wind Waker was confirmed in late 2002.
Before the Wind Waker title was revealed, people were ONLY calling it Celda. I distinctly remember some people actually thinking it was really called that.
>>331009125
No shit. I meant it was never a thing here. It was widely used elsewhere until the game released then it died quickly.
>>331009307
No need for hostility.
>>331009125
>>331009307
It absolutely was, but it was some ground zero shit. /v/ was basically just meme regurgitation from other places back then, much like any board that wasn't /b/ or a weeb image board. It died out pretty quickly once /v/ started developing their own memes.
>>330999687
That art style was shit and still is. Cellshading is just a lazy excuse to not spend time or money making your game look pretty. It looked shit then and it still looks like shit. This "it aged better" argument is retarded.
>>331001629
It's not really exploration in WW though. There's 5 islands worth a shit and 50 that are just tiny specks with rupees on them and the main plot tells you exactly when you need to go to the important islands
>>331008259
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know all that, but you didn't read my reply. What you said about WW ALSO applies to Fed Force.
>>331010354
How? If you mean it's just a reaction to something greater maybe. But WW was more about people hating how kiddy Nintendo became to people's eyes. While Federation Force is more of people hating what Nintendo is doing with Metroid. If there was a Metroid game made somewhere between Other M and now no one would have any anger towards Federation Force.
Was Prime the "adult" Nintendo game during the Gamecube era? A little but people isn't mad at Federation Force because it's a kiddy Metroid. They are mad that it's a spin off of a series that is basically dead to Nintendo.
>>331009907
Lol
>>330997923
Same reaction as Federation Force
