Not true. Just look at Duke Nukem.

a delayed shit game is forever shit no matter how much you delay it.

A rushed good game will forever be good.

In fairness the douk we got wasn't the same, it was reworked before release.

Its not. Its short, but its a pretty good game, definitely overpriced.
Also it wasnt delayed as hard as your typical Zelda game.

Fixed that for you.

The moment the rumors of the NX came out and the lack of Zelda coverage/info, I instantly knew and if any of you had any sense also would have known that it was going to be delayed so it could be released on the NX just like they did with Twilight Princess.
It's only been delayed so it could be released on the NX, whether that really makes any real difference on the game's quality? I doubt it, the Wii U version is pretty much going to be the same game you just get it two years later.
>>
>>335849062

What did he mean by this?

>>335849062
A delayed game MAY eventually be good but just because it is delayed does not mean it will necessarily be good.
>>
>>335849062
>A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.

Literally no games are released during 2016 so I'm pretty fucking mad to wait until 2017 to get a second tier Zelda for Wii U.

The irony is a rushed game (Splatoon) ended up being one of the best selling games on the system.

Yeah Nintendo.
You keep delaying those games so they'll eventually be "good" while I save up my money to buy a PS4 and PC while this hunk of junk Wii-U collects dust.
>>
>>335849062
Why the fuck is Nintendo not churning out tons of games anyways? You'd think they'd make up for their lack of third party games with more first party but they're taking their sweet fucking time with games that dont even look that impressive.

Fuck I want them to try again with Duke Nukem it didn't deserve to die ;_;

whats worse is that it wasn't even a trainwreck in an enjoyable way.

It just feels like a modern mobile game in terms of production value and quality.
>>
If this game is not the BEST GAME EVER MADE, I'm going to be disappointed.

If they're gonna delay it for TWO YEARS and focus an ENTIRE E3 on a single game, they're raising my expectations to ridiculous levels.
>>
>>335849112
>why was starfox so shit then?
Not enough eventually. And as a side note, why is it that every time this quote is posted, some retard goes "well why is [delayed game] bad then???!"

The quote doesn't mean "if we delay the game, it will definitely be good". It means "If we don't delay the game, it will definitely be bad".
>>

>A bad console is bad forever too

Like the Xbone?
>>
>>335849062
A delayed game can also be an indicator of troubled development. The delays for MGSV only didn't help that game much in the end, and it was still "rushed" because too much time was dedicated to shouldn't have been a priority, or the whole game down to its core was just a bad direction to go in.

Funny thing is, Wind Waker wasn't bad forever.

>implying that this isn't an attempt to save face knowing that the Wii U version is going to have performance issues

At the very least I'm not poor and can afford to get the NX when it arrives
>>
True, but in this case they have delayed it so they can port it to an unreleased console to push sales. The same thing they did a decade ago.
>>
>>335849062
Holy shit, was this seriously 2014? Jesus christ, it's been over a year and this is the ONLY substantial footage we've seen of the game?

I wonder if their strategy of only showing off this game at E3 is a good one. If the game is good enough, I wouldn't doubt that it can be an entire show on its own.
>>
>>335849062
so there's nothing worse than a delayed game that turns out bad?

Duke Nukem wasn't delayed. The game was cancelled like 4 times and went through 3 devs.

So given the amount of confidence they have in the game being the only thing playable, wouldn't that speak about it's structure somewhat?

I'll be impressed if they the demo isn't structured at all and actually is open enough to have everyone who plays the demo a different experience.

It's got to be impressive of course, but it better blow away any previous open world attempts.

I doubt it. But one can only hope right?

>>335851176

in the old days nintendo had a vision and followed through regardless of feedback

in the age of the internet, and long running franchises that mostly have older and difficult to please fans, they just do what they can to please them and probably don't have a good idea of where they're going

Has anyone else how Link holds his bow in the new artwork?

He holds the bow with his left hand and pulls the arrow back with his right hand. For those that don't know, when aiming a bow you hold it with your non-dominant hand and aim with your dominant one.

Does this mean Link will be right handed in the new Zelda!? What does this mean!?

The gameplay video explicitly showed him using his right hand when wielding a sword so yeah he's right handed.

Now that I think about it, saying something like that might have softened the blow when we got those two delays.

There's a point where delays get out of hand, and that's when the game's vaporware status has become a phenomenon in itself. If that happens when the public already has a good idea of what they both want and expect from te product, expectations will be bloated as fuck and will continue to get worse.

DNF was mediocre and a bad Duke Nukem, but not bad in general eat shit but I'm sure reception wouldn't been much warmer if Duke Nukem was still an active franchise at this point and the game we got had a normal dev cycle.
>>
>>335849062
By that logic, MN9 will be the best game ever made.
>>
>>335866316

They should have just dropped the "Forever" moniker and gave it a new name, and announce it as a new game in the Duke Nukem franchise.

We've had Duke games since 3D right? Wasn't that about the timeframe they announced Forever?
