ok
this really bugs me out
the world looks excellent, vivid but empty of life
please tell me Nintendo will fix this
I'm sure there's a thread on /v/ somewhere right now addressing this very issue
>/r/ holes and mublins every 2 inches from eachother
>empty world
I love this meme
They will, you need to wait three more years
>>341406184
They already confirmed there are no towns or npc's in the E3 build because they didn't want anything spoiled.
>>341406404
it's not a meme
the game has a huge overworld but you do nothing, you meet nobody it's lifeless
>>341406404
theres literally one enemy on the screen and nothing in the background.
are you saying thats not empty?
Have you ever been outside? The world is mostly "empty", wildlife does not exactly flock to humans
And bitch I know you saw plenty of animals in the trailer
>>341406698
>wildlife does not exactly flock to humans
the world outside the cities is full of wild dogs, just like in pokemon
>>341406184
Most of teh extra stuff was removed to avoid spoilers
World looks fine. Kinda reminds me of SotC's Forbidden Land and that's a plus.
But of course, it's on Nintendo home console, so I won't bother.
>>341406184
Towns, villages and such settlements are confirmed.
https://mynintendonews.com/2016/06/14/zelda-breath-of-the-wild-will-have-villages-to-explore/
I dont understand the empty complain
Have you ever been outside on the wild?
Tons and tons of square miles of fucking nothing dude
>>341407779
The problem is that it doesn't make for good video games
>it's empty
if you looked at the entire stream, there were enemies fucking everywhere, nooks and crannies with hidden loots, resource points everywhere, hidden chests, viewpoints with unique weapons
fuck off with this meme
>>341406184
The trailer showed packs of wild horses.
Hopefuly the demo simply didn't include them.
Also its obvious that they put making a big map above anything else so likely there are tons of buildings and structures more than in any zelda game so far but because the map is so big its all spread out
The gameplay focuses on exploration of vast areas, securing your own food and weapons, this is on purpose
Blame the wiiU hardware, that's basically the biggest problem here
>>341407779
And it's not fun.
>>341408059
Game looks fun as fuck to me anon
>>341407917
Every pic show it's empty, fanboy.
>>341406184
Done. Already told my dad. He works at Nintendo
>>341408059
Tell me 1(one) game that's fun and I'll tell you why it isn't.
>>341408167
watch
the
stream
otherwise all your argument boils down to is "LA LA LA IM NOT LISTENING"
And I'm not a nintendo fan or a zelda fan at all, proud pcuck here, but give credit where credit is due
>>341407779
>muh realism
You would think in a fantasy setting you'll get to see more activity and be more surprised by the unexpected but KEKno you get a shallow overworld with a sprinkle of life on it.
>>341406184
It's a demo you dip
>>341406184
i'm sorry but somewhat empty world is a lot more fun than ubisoft style point of interest in every 1 square-meter game.
i really got shadow of the colossus vibe from this game. can't wait to play
>>341408325
Its serving the gameplay, this is the game they wanted to make huge empty maps you explore
Only they arent empty becasuse there are
shrines
animals
enemies
enemy settlements
secret chests
you can manipulate terrain with your powers
All the streams and all the people playing the game are loving it, if the game was truly "just walking around int this empty landscape" no one would be liking it
>>341408534
Eh, I'm a fan if the game but, devil's advocate, I imagine anybody playing a first party nintendo title for the first time, especially a ZELDA title, is going to love it. Everybody loved SS when it came out, including myself. Zelda blinders are real.
>>341407912
Far Cry games sell well despite this.
>>341408784
Good point but all kinds of people play these games at E3 not just fanboys, if the game was really lifeless boring it would be obvious, we have seen the game and we have seen that is not in fact empty, you encounter things to do all the time
>RANDOM ROCK GOLEM THAT KILLS YOU IN ONE SHOT OUT OF NOWHERE
>>341408534
>All the streams and all the people playing the game are loving it
Careful anon. That's a slippery slope you're traveling down.
>>341409071
Why the goalpost moving?
No one was discussing here if the game will be good or bad
I was only addressing the claim that is "empty"
An empty game would be shat on right away and we would see it if it was like say NMH1
>>341408879
but Far Cry games are not empty
my sides
first nintendrones are creaming themselves over Unity-level physics, now they're making a defense force just because of the empty E3 world argument
I'm so glad I'm a proud slav idort and not a filthy indoctrinated americuck
>>341408879
Far cry is at least somewhat compelling with its hunting and such, all I've seen so far with Zelda is, kill this boar with a stick or a sightly sharper stick
>>341406184
ok now tell my what open map game in the wild dosnt feel empty
we saw already lots of shit and its was
quoting treehouse
>around 2% of the game
im sure theres going to be alot of towns and shit to do.
Also this
>>341406698
What the fuck do you guys expect in the wild or in a dessert or snowy mountains. Do you want to literally see a house or a person everywere you look around? The Witcher was like this too with towns scattered around the map and it was amazing
>I need explosions and enemies on the screen 24/7
>>341409187
Haha, you wish, friend. E3 is full of expert marketers adept at selling snake oil.
>>341409071
The difference being that one can easily identify the reasons TLOU is considered so good and see why it's really shit ie. cinematic story and not gameplay
This new game has almost no story to be seen and people are loving it. I don't really think the question of what they like is hard to answer.
Too much bloom.
Too much fucking bloom.
When will this shit stop?
>>341409730
>The difference being that one can easily identify the reasons TLOU is considered so good and see why it's really shit ie. cinematic story and not gameplay
That's still an opinion, nothing more. Zealous fans of the game will gladly proclaim that it has amazing gameplay, and will sing the praises of the online mode.
So again, the popularity argument goes right in the garbage.
>>341406184
>empty
>Bokoblin camps fucking everwhere
>Chu and Keese in mountains
>Mini dungeons all around
>wildlife to hunt
>empty
yea ok, sure buddy. Just because there isn't always an enemy on screen doesn't mean that the world is empty.
>>341409827
Well he's naked on top of a snowy mountain. Try to do that and not stutter, fag.
>>341409827
I think the idea is that it's really fuggen cold up there.
>>341409548
I do wish RDR had some more towns, or more interiors in their towns.
>>341409827
3. whatever
>>341409548
i expect to see at least 1 strawberry in a dessert tbqh
>>341410317
4. Push the old man down
>>341409548
this, even far cry 3 and 4 were just sometimes trees and little houses until you found some animals or a base.
what the fuck do you guys want
>>341406184
It looks like dogshit. But even worse, the characters look like they belong in some shitty 90s game.
>>341406184
so it's like mgsv
They already said they took out npc and towns now fuck off
>>341408167
Didn't they say that they cut all the towns, npcs, and some of the shrine stuff for the demo to not spoil anything?
>>341406184
DELETE THIS
>>341410261
sacrifices had to be made for those trains dude. it was worth it
>>341410334
dudeoases
>>341409827
I hope they have dialogue options that allow me to be a little shit.
>>341410396
trees and grass. Farcry games are fucking lush. This game looks flat. Devoid of detail and plant life.
>>341408037
I'll be getting this on NX for that reason. I already played through the only worthwhile games on the WIi U (W101, Bayo 2 and Dong Freeze) so I'll wait until NX has an Animal Crossing game on it and then I'll pick it up along with Breath of the Wild.
>>341410607
Should it be in that it actually affects the story or just affects the conversation with occasional nods to your choice of words at times, but nothing too major.
>>341408167
literally retarded
>>341410686
but its going to play the same besides resolution probably.
they already said the experience is going to be the same. and I doubt they are going to waste resources on optimizating a port since they didn't do it for Twilight Princess
>>341410796
Hadn't even considered the former, but I'd be down with that.
>>341409071
Zelda isn't banking on it's story to impress people. They're not making a "cinematic experience" and banking on being seen as art.
>>341406184
>Breath of the Wild
>very little wildlife
pottery
>>341410860
>I doubt they are going to waste resources on optimizating a port since they didn't do it for Twilight Princess
For what it's worth, that port was outsourced.
>>341406656
... you seriously need to go see an oncologist because you seem to have a massive tumor. It's like you didn't even watch LITERALLY OBJECTIVELY ANY of the stream showing how much fucking shit there is in this world.
Seriously man. This shit is serious, make that appointment. It seems to be pretty late stage.
>>341411132
are you talking about TP HD?
im talking about the GC to Wii port.
was that outsourced too?
>>341406667
Draw distance. It was like this with XBX which had loads of enemies.
>>341411182
What? Shut up. Put your fanboyism aside and look at the game. It's big but empty
>>341410663
I doN,t know what nintendo did to you. Did reggie rape your sister? Did a fat italian molest you?
Because outside some serious mental issue i can,t explain that fuckign retardation you display
>>341406184
Plateau is like middle where you'll probably have access to a fast travel to some points.
They were restricted to it because apparently towns and npcs play big role for the plot.
>>341411653
There is no need to offend people really
>>341411413
Confirmed for not watching the stream
>>341406184
SHUT UP THIS GAME IS LITERALLY GOTYAY
>>341411815
There is no need to display retardation on a public site, but he did
>>341411413
>he didn't watch the stream
>he's still trying to shit on the game
nobody is listening to you familia
>>341411956
I'm sure Sony is real happy with you shitposting on a malaysian traditionnal canvas picture board.
>>341406184
>the world looks excellent
wat
>>341411853
It's empty man. Just Some moblins. Witcher 3 has way more
>>341412241
this is the first, intro section of the world. It's meant to introduce the player. You know, with less intimidating enemies in lesser amounts?
Aonouma also said they npc's and towns were removed from the demo to ensure no story elements were spoiled.
>all the hylians are dead
/pol/ the game
I was sold on it. The only problem is that I have to buy the NX for one single game because Nintendo will die after this game is released.
>>341412421
Apart from the cities, the outerworld has nothing to do except for gathering mushrooms,walk and find treehouses
>>341412513
tell me more about the unknown future please!
When will i die? And when do you become less of an insufferable fuck?
>>341412643
im sure in the final version, there will be npcs/side quests and many other things to do, to fill that void.
>>341412443
THE FUCKING NIGGE... I MEAN GERUGGERS GET OUT YOU FILTHY ANIMALS REEEEEEEEE
>>341412421
There's also a hell of a lot more enemies and wildlife than just moblins.
>we want the sotc audience
Well it certainly wouldn't be the first time a Zelda game had an empty overworld
>>341413857
The other is?
if they added full voice acting be prepare for lel nothing.
>>341406184
What really bugs me are those styupid WW style enemies.
>>341411853
not him but I watched the stream and it looked pretty empty and there's gonna be nothing to do like every other zelda.
looks boring and the only thing to do is gonna be shitty dungeons
>>341414661
This too after WW zelda enemies aren't as badass like theywere in oot or mm
>>341413446
And thank god for that because it's patrician taste.
Aesthetically a pretty barren world, looks like something you could slap up in Unity3D in one week. It's caused by a lack of cluttering, probably down to the weak WiiU hardware. Also quite janky, little things like being able to climb through tree branches shows a lack of polish.
I hope there's raiding parties and enemies who seek you out across the land or stay aggro'd for ages. Make avoiding enemies or starting off with advantages/surprise attacks necessary. important strategies sometimes.
>>341407779
>video games in a fictional world are meant to be realistic
>>341415108
Don't expect ground breaking game mechanics from Nintendo.
>>341406184
They have said in the livestream that they removed all NPCs and Towns so they dont spoil the story. It'll be fine OP.
>>341406184
>>341406656
see
>>341406551
Then stop posting
You literally didn't watch jack shit.
>>341406184
When I was watching the live yesterday, I thinked that all is there. The map, the gameplay, collisions, musics, voices, graphics, items, stat changing by items, etc. All is implemented. Technically the game seems like the developement is clear, so I was thinking that the release is for this summer or winter.
Then I saw that it is for 2017. I said "Shit...", and I meditate about why. I think that they only finished this part of the map to the presentation, but the rest is empty of creatures items dungeons etc. So they have to implement all the dungeons that are necessary to clear the game's story, set all the PNJs, do some unitary tests, and maybe increase the game's performence (seems like it is on 30FPS in some moment).
>vivid but empty of life
So I think it's normal that there's not a lot of ennemis on this part of the map. The more we explore the more we have ennemis and the more they get stronger.
And if you think "It's empty of life that is not ennemis", see my pic : I was writing this theory yesterday 2 hours before the stream, and the thread was archived before I post this so I screened it on my wordpad in case of it could be used again.
>>341412643
And cooking, fishing, shrines, hunting, taming wild horses, the undoubted collectibles that are in EVERY FUCKING ZELDA EVER. Not to mention there will be a minigame or two, weapons to find and that's just shit we've been directly told about already
>>341412643
"Oh man, if I'm not doing the main story or the stuff npcs want or collecting things in the world in OoT/MM/WW/TP..WHAT IS THERE IN THIS EMPTY WORLD?!" Just the 2% of the world they showed is vastly more alive than TP's
>>341406184
THEY'VE SAID A BILLION FUCKING TIMES THAT THEY'VE KEPT SHIT OUT OF THIS DEMO TO NOT SPOIL SHIT. FUCK ME /v/.
>>341417241
I know right? people are fucking retarded.
>>341406853
>the world outside the cities is full of wild dogs
Jesus where do you live
I don't think the world seems that empty at all but it really could use some more trees and foliage to fill up plain fields but I don't know if the wii u can even handle that.
>>341416812
>I think that they only finished this part of the map to the presentation, but the rest is empty of creatures items dungeons etc.
That's retarded, you know that right?
>>341410524
I was thinking this, but why did they leave the Old Man in, who seems to be one of the most important npc's?
>>341417241
>its just a demo
>its just a beta
>it just needs a patch
>dlc will fix it
>the sequal will be better
>>341406698
This. It always bugs me when everything is coming to the player or you meet people in the strangest places and then they act like they're always at that spot, just for you. Its just unnatural and weird.
>>341410396
>what the fuck do you guys want
I want this.
I want enemies.
>>341414041
The rest of the 3D games
>>341417820
Hm no it just is a possibility. If they already have set ennemis and other things on the rest of the map, I can't see what is there reason to set the date of release in 2017, when I see the actual game.
>>341406184
Considering how packed with shit Nintendo's other recent open world game is, the lower density is probably just a tweak to make the world feel bigger.
Once you got your Mech in Xenoblae X, you couldn't drive in any given direction for a full 5 sec before running into some enemy and starting combat, it actually became annoying in a few parts of the world.
Similarly, stuff is probably spread out in this Zelda title to account for faster travel with the horse.
Zelda games have always been empty with cities that have like 5 people living in them. Although I agree it makes it look like shit it's pretty standard as far as Zelda goes.
