On a scale of 1 to Reggie, with 1 being not ready and Reggie being bodily ready, just how HYPE are you for the return of the king?
YEAH BOI!!!

>They start hyping it up regardless of its quality since if it doesn't sell 10 billion copies they're fucked
>>337141980
didnt realise it was based around archery, slightly more hyped now, might keep tabs on it
careful though, it is all marketing, likely to not be anything theyre saying and be disappointing, even if its good
>>337141980
>neo nintendo
About as hyped as I was for 3D World, Tropickle Cheese and Sticker Star
>>337142232
Did you mean to start your own thread?
>>337141980
what conventions did OoT change
>>337141980
Nah dark souls already dethroned ocarina with better combat and weapon and armor variety
>making the same thread
>day after day
>with obvious bait meant to look bad intentionally
>every single day
Why do people do this? How bored can you possibly even be?
>>337142238
There is no official statement saying the game is about archery. There's hardly been anything official at all, not even marketing. OP is just making shit up.
>>337141980
where did you get that screen capp OP?
It won't be better than SotC.
Or OoT. Or MM.
I'm ready for another 8.8.
>>337142364
Introduced openworld, real-time clock system (as in day fades to night and vice versa), lock-on in a 3D game, a dedicated context-sensitive button that alerts you to more options (other games like RE tried this but it was just variations of a "select" command), and a cohesive overworld with geolocational cues that let you know where you are and which way is what in the game world.
Plus multiple others if you get into what defines a vehicle in a video game with Epona; the first optional vehicle in a game that alters the way you progress through the game.
I think it might even be the first 3D game with a map.
Pretty much everything about modern games owes its beginning to Ocarina of Time. Just like Mario 64 is still the gold standard for controls.
>>337142595
Google. If you're surprised by the bomb arrows, I didn't ever notice them either.

OoT didn't introduce any of those mechanics.
>>337143379
It assembled them and presented them all together to the world as a shining example of "how to do it".
>>337142527
>The official site shows Link wielding a bow.
>Link has only used a bow.
>Bow is a huge part of the game, to the point that they showed a 10 minute demo of Link just riding around shooting things.
>Bullet-time archery is going to be a huge new innovation.
>Bow is displayed prominently in official propaganda by Nintendo.
If it looks like a dog, barks like a dog, and sounds like a dog; it's a dog.
>>337143379
Oh yeah? Which one?
Go ahead, name me one mechanic and the game that introduced them before OoT.
I'll wait.
Still waiting anon.
>>337143775
Ultima V did cohesive world with night/day and lunar cycles with npc's having schedules, had ship's and flying carpets as alternate travel methods.
>>337143092
I'll add onto this. It also introduced the concept of locking on to enemies while doing things in a 3D space. This mechanic has stuck around in adventure games for years after.
>>337144336
That game sounds pretty cool from what I'm reading on Wikipedia.
But it's hardly equivocal.
>same thread every day
>>337143775
Mega Man Legends had a lock-on system.
What are you trying to get across when you say
>First game in history about archery
Like, archery is a primary method of combat so the game plays more like a TPS?
>>337144630
Tomb Raider had a automatic lock-on/targeting 2 years before OoT
>>337143092
>>337144630
OoT didn't invent any of those
>>337143775
Daggerfall had a massive open world with a day/night cycle and horseback combat 2 years before Ocarina of Time.
>>337141980
>>Nintendo saying it will change all conventions in gaming like Ocarina of Time.
Like Star fox?
Hows that working out for ya?
Sorry I love my wiiu as a third console but I lost all hope for nintendo.

Think you got lost on your way to twitch chat, friend.

Woowww bullet-time in 2016? HUGE INNOVATION GUYZ

I've never played MML but from what I've seen it only locks your vector and then releases you. CyberTroopers did this a little better by making it so that you could move and stay locked, but OoT's is still a step above both.
MML - 1D (one point)
CyberTroopers - 2D (can move in a line, up, left and right, or at the enemy)
Ocarina of Time - 3D (can move forward and backwards, left and right, and circle around)
CyberTroopers had the idea, but didn't have the technology.
>>337144847
RE4 is a TPS.
>>337145327
Daggerfall also isn't Reality 3D, it's software-rendered, and you can't mount/dismount in real-time. It's just your avatar changes.
But how elaborate is the day/night cycle? I've never played it, but I doubt it moves in real-time.
>>337146987
>and you can't mount/dismount in real-time. It's just your avatar changes.
Are you retarded by any chance?
>>337147425
Are you?
>>337141980
I love Zelda, and I would put OoT in my top 10; probably even top 5.
But please stop this bait shit. It's going to be twilight princess tier, but don't mock people that actually want to be hype but know better than to think it will have the critical acclaim it ocarina of time. We just don't live in that era anymore, even if it does turn out incredible.
Fuck you.
>>337148789
>But please stop this bait shit.
>It's going to be twilight princess tier,
>>337142232
Ican't decide whether to be more hyped for FFXV or ZeldaU/NX.
>>337142238
It's not based around archery. That's one of MANY items.
>>337149216
That almost makes Agitha attractive.
