They've said they're not taking inspiration from any one WRPG a million times.

It's not us, it's the platinum bandwagoners and console warriors now that nier isn't multiplat. Majority of us would sacrifice gameplay once again to improve other aspects but now you have the CUHRAZUHYYYY fanboys who won't pay attention to the story or played previous Drakengard games and argue gameplay is all that matters, which is ironic since a good chunk of platinum games all play the exact same and get boring in my experience.
>>
>>344583623
Zelda games are all about replayability. The original Zelda incentivized you to replay the game seeing how far you could get without your sword on the manual or tips & tricks guide. And this is in addition to being the first game ever to have a New Game+ feature that revamps the entire game.

ST sucked because of the format and design choices for the overworld that padded the length with the train segments. I liked how in PH your upgrades made your boat tougher. Why did they remove that feature from ST on top of whittling it down to 4 parts? You could say, they didn't have enough time, but in that case, why the hell did they make that the core feature of a game? What happened to the Moinks you see at the beginning of the game; they never show up again? WHY DID THEY COME UP WITH A COOPERATIVE MECHANIC FOR ZELDA, IF ALL SHE DOES IS SERVE AS AN ITEM YOU CARRY AROUND IN A FEW PLACES?! YOU DON'T EVEN GET TO FIGHT A BOSS WITH HER.

>>344583767
Ocarina of Time's is better. If the other three provinces changed in MM after you fixed each dungeon like Snowhead then maybe.

They offer a lot more freedom. The scale and scope of open worlds provide a greater playground for adventure and potential for role play.

Look at stuff like GTA, Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Stalker. Huge incredible games that offer hundreds of hours of gameplay.

Nothing wrong with linear games, but they tend to be much more limited. Again not in itself a problem, but then open world sandboxes aren't aren't a problem in themselves like you appear to suggest.
>>
>>344582583
Twilight Princess was arguably the best
>>
>>344585192
The reason there are so many Persona threads is because it's part of the Megami Tensei franchise and the new 3DS game is coming out soon.

It's like saying Hyrule Warriors counts because you see a bunch of threads every time there's new DLC.
>>
>>344585257
Not the same guy, but as someone who is already skeptical of any new Zelda game being good, every video I saw of BotW (which admittedly was not all of them) seemed like the game is focused on being an experience or a tech demo. It just looks boring and stale. Having interactivity means nothing if the gameplay is boring, unchallenging, and lacking true depth. I am already tired of the novelty of fire spreading, destructible weapons, and AI reacting to little things and I haven't even played the game yet.

>>
>>344585807
>like the game is focused on being an experience or a tech demo

That's just what the E3 demo is. They literally removed all but one of the NPCs and limited what shrines and areas you could find just so they don't spoil too much of the game, to say nothing of the fact that we haven't seen any dungeons yet.

You're basically right though, Breath of the Wild looks fucking incredible. And I say this as someone who has only ever had a passing appreciation for the Zelda games.

Zelda games have very tightly designed overworlds with little emptiness, like BotW shows so far. It's not as big as people think. Pic related. The demo in BotW shows off almost the entire map.

What this means is that there's going to be a high concentration of stuff to do in a moderate sized area, and so it's not like openworld games that you're thinking about.

I mean, even then, garbage games like GTA still have a lot to do. And this is Nintendo's first foray into a game this big, so of course there's going to be even MORE.

in fact SS had the best combat mechanics of the entire series; too bad outside of some of the boss fights they were never put to proper use by the game

I've never played Okami, but it seems to follow The Wind Waker style.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Twilight is far from the best game ever, but at least it never has a dull moment in the twenty-something hours it takes to play through just the main-game alone. You're talking about the game that invented dodge-rolling and inspired the Souls series. I mean, the beginning of TP where you have to save the kid while keeping your eye on your lantern oil is pretty much where From Software got the idea.
>>
>>344587008
I'm excited to see Nintendo do an open world game because I'm confident they'll have a unique take on the genre, and it will feel fresh. In addition to that, I expect an unparalleled level or polish. I think I speak for most people when I say I'll be very disappointed if BOTW fails to significantly differentiate itself from standard open world games like Mad Max, Assassin's Creed, or Dying Light.

Am I really going to have to make one of those "WHY SKYWARD SWORD IS A TERRIBLE GAME REGARDLESS OF MOTION CONTROLS" infographs?

It was a step down from Twilight Princess in L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y every capacity. I can't think of anything it did better and I played the game through two and a half times. I'd rather play through TP 10 times than SS once.
>>
>>344587549
Okami has much better gameplay fundamentals than Wind Waker. It was directed by Hideki Kamiya, the creator of Devil May Cry and Bayonetta. The combat isn't as deep as either of those games, but Kamiya's skill in creating games with great fighting still shines through.

Also, I liked Wind Waker much more than Twilight Princess, so we probably just come to games for very different things. I've never replayed a Zelda game any sooner than five years after my first playthrough, so replayability has never been a concern for me.

>Twilight is far from the best game ever, but at least it never has a dull moment in the twenty-something hours it takes to play through just the main-game alone.

To me it's all dull moments. Twilight Princess was one long dull moment. It was by no means a bad game, but its existence felt wholly unnecessary. It didn't do anything new or unique. Wind Waker at least felt fresh.

>>344588076
ah ok youre at least not one of those "the motion controls didnt work (because Im an amotoric aspie and dont know how to move a wiimote)" morons, then
I actually mostly agree, then, except that the overworld in TP was just as shitty as in SS, just in a different way
on the plus side, TP had some amazing dungeons, but so did SS; and in fact Id say the best of SS's dungeons (the timeshift stones ones) are better than the best dungeons in TP, but admittedly thats somewhat a matter of taste
but in the end SS had undeniably some of the best dungeons in the entire series; that makes it far from a bad game
in terms of dungeons, the only thing TP had over SS was quantity, not quality
on the other hand, I utterly hated the entire structure of the gameplay progression and overworld in TP, and unlike SS, there wasnt a single likeable character outside of the companion (midna) in TP
overall, I liked SS better than TP, but Id say its a matter of taste which of the two is better; but that doesnt make SS a bad game

Oh you're one of those "story guys." Twilight Princess did a lot of new things that no games had ever tried.

Combat in everything; horse-rising, swimming, sniping with bow, wrestling, wolf mode, boss fight QTE segments, and most in-depth sword controls of any video game (I'm honestly surprised no game has attempted to have an avatar move around in different ways again depending on how he's facing or the stick/camera position). You can ride a boar and smash your way into an enemy camp, or fight your way through. It's prctically the original BotW.

Ok, so you're right, besides that, there's not a whole lot new, but that's only because its predecessors already did so much. I'm sure Okami is fun, but I never hear much about Okamiden. I wonder if it's had a single thread in three years.

i just hope the combat isn't as shallow as it looks. nintendo doesn't seem to get that there's middle ground between "press b to fireball" and bayo 2's terrifying, overwhelming combo list

also wind waker is the best zelda title (not the wii u EZ sailing version, either; the gamecube release with tedious sailing)
that's also why dark souls 1 is better than 2 or 3; earning the right to fast travel makes it so much more fulfilling

Zeldafag here, and I was pretty unimpressed with what Nintendo showed off of Skyward Sword initially, though I got caught up in the hype more towards release (the video that showed the main theme is zelda's lullaby played backwards), but holy fuck I was in so much denial of how bad it was.

Fine.

>general graphical downgrade

But for some reason posting a webm of fire creating an updraft or Link launching a boulder is enough to totally ignore these problems and propel the game in "GOTY" territory, when there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical about it. The open world thing is particularly hypocritical. You spend that much time shitting on empty open worlds and then Zelda rolls around with an open world that is apparently pants-shittingly huge and suddenly open world games are cool again?

>>344594140
Literally one second after we started seeing obvious graphical issues with the footage the go-to response was "the NX version will be way better" as if they already knew it was going to be some sort of graphical powerhouse but right away we saw lots of people downplaying the power of it. If the NX version was gonna melt faces then they would have shown it. They don't have a reason not to.

They haven't shown it off because they hadn't revealed the NX yet. Odds are the NX prototype wasn't ready, or the controller had issues. Or they just decided not to.

Despite that, Nintendo is still desparate to convince people the Wii U isn't dead in the water. Zelda is a WII U EXCLUSIVE (also available on NX but what's that?)
>>
>>344594684

Since the late 2000's, every single console ever released was years behind your average PC, so yes, it's underpowered by default.

Yes, it does. You can't do anything with the environment in games like Skyrim or Witcher beyond picking up items and looking at it. Zelda looks like it'll have a lot you can interact with and there will be puzzles and fun little shit to do all over. It's doing exactly what open-world detractors have been asking for, making the open-world actually relevant and part of the gameplay and not just a backdrop.

If we're gonna be comparing to PC we might as well stop talking because they're always behind. In terms of console power, we don't know where the NX sits. Could be stronger than the PS4, could be weaker than the Xbone, could be somewhere in the middle. Who knows?

The point is that Nintendo is trying to sell me hardware and a game that'll be infinitely weaker than something I can already play on the PC. Shooter, The Witcher 3 already beats it on the sole facts that I can mod it, use a KBM, change the graphical settings, and etc.

I won't be able to mod Zelda. I won't be able to use a controller that I find comfortable. I won't even be able to change the FPS. I'll have to deal with 20 if I'm fortunate enough. That's disgusting to me, as a customer who's had enough sacrificing his high standards just so a corporate entity can make a profit. Thats not happening again.

Things Witcher, Far Cry, and even Assassin's Creed have done before. What's exactly original or new here? And for that matter, Zelda isn't even doing anything good with them. The enemies had no proper AI, the world was barren and had nothing to find or examine. You just traveled across an empty plain. Where's the content?

Yes and? Nintendo had a target lock system for 3D environments before games like the Witcher ever did, does that make the Witcher's system bad?

>What's exactly original or new here?
Are you having an internal dialogue? Who is claiming it's new or revolutionary? It's Zelda taking elements of successful games and welding it to a new zelda game.

> The enemies had no proper AI
Is this your first Zelda game?

> the world was barren and had nothing to find or examine.
this is blatantly false. https://youtu.be/1SDGCvdw8z4?t=7m13s check out the video for an example.

>Where's the content?
There is quite literally hours of footage of people exploring, going to temples, finding hidden chests, and getting items from enemies. Aside from that, Nintendo literally said they took out NPC's and villages from the demo to prevent story spoilers and to let people focus on the game's world.

Wrong. They had a poor imitation of KBM's aiming scheme, which made OOT extremely casual and made combat a non-issue. Z-targeting was the poor man's mouse reticule.

>It's Zelda taking elements of successful games and welding it to a new zelda game.
The entire thread is spewing off how "revolutionary" and "godlike" the game is despite none of the elements matching up to predecessors.

>Is this your first Zelda game?

>There is quite literally hours of footage of people exploring, going to temples, finding hidden chests, and getting items from enemies.
Exploration yielded nothing interesting, temples were empty and boring, hidden chests held nothing of value, enemy held items were also useless, and the fact that Nintendo cares so much about "story spoilers" tells me that this game will just be another boring cinematic movie game. Otherwise why else would you care about the plot that much?

>yeah they're shit but more often than not the content is insignificant
For 60 dollars I don't really care. Cosmetic or not, you better give me that content for free. If I'm gonna be nickel and dimed along with a high initial purchase, then you're being greedy.

MM really is a completely different experience. Even though I really think BotW could very well be the best Zelda and outdo OoT, I agree that MM will probably still be my *favorite* video game in terms of *fun* for a combo of nostalgia and just doing something no other game really ever has in terms of storytelling.
>>
>>344601583
The ragdoll physics are fine for Link, but they look extremely awkward or distracting on other enemies, such as the bokoblins.

The animations on the other hand - especially Link's combat and movement animations in general - those are just outright bad and dated. Same goes for many of the animations on the enemies in and out of combat.

The animations for the horses and the grass/foliage look great, however.
>>
>>344601853
Obvious animations. You can tell where they begin and end.

Breath of the Wild is the first game to run entirely on physics. Nothing is prerecorded.

Considering that Skyward Sword was more of a cinematic experience than TLOU, at least.
>>
>>344602007
Pretty sure the motions of the stalchildren are mostly prerecorded animations. Especially when they hop around, asking another ally to toss them their head or arm.

Holy crap, the AI is terrible. Who's excited for this?

Yeah, those aren't good animations, sorry.

>>344602193
Skyward sword had dungeons, side quests, and an actual well designed overworld.
Tons more effort put in than "bring this ladder here, sneak through zombies with your literaly ghost ally and watch scripted event #214 play out"
>>
>>344602487

>Skyward sword had dungeons, side quests, and an actual well designed overworld.
TLOU had a non-linear path that let you get to the objective in multiple ways, a full fledged multiplayer, and addon content.

Yet it was still a bad game, like Skyward Snore.
>>
>>344601926

BoTW could outdo from a gameplay standpoint if it implements a similar time system - albeit much a more broadened than MM's strict and concise 3-day time schedule.

Miyamoto and Aonuma have also implied that game will be a different experience for everyone, indicating that choice could or will be a major factor in this game that will influence the outcome of the the game and the player's experience at large. So there's a small chance that BoTW could also introduce something that has never quite been done in gaming story-telling and gameplay mechanics before - whatever it may be or imply.

What I'm concerned about is the atmosphere and overall narrative and thematic tone of the game. If the game doesn't put weight on our actions and the consequences that we make, or if villains and monsters are seen as pushovers to a bunch of obvious NPC towns, then what's the point?

And Nintendo has really fallen apart when it comes to art direction, atmosphere and narrative storytelling in their games now.

Majoras Mask is the best Zelda ever made. And I'm saying that to the 3DS version, obviously before BotW arrives.

So he doesn't have any kind of predictive AI pattern that will determine the idiocy of throwing a barrel that close to your own ally? Something that games from 2001 had? I'm sorry, how is that impressive again?

I honestly wish for it to be an *also on PC title, that way they can no longer discuss the game besides MUH PORTS or MUH SECONDARIES or what have you. Not to mention that Nier 2 will likely be another NiOh, meaning you need a PS4 Neo to actually play it at 1080p and 60FPS, which is fucking embarassing.
>>
>>344603565
>predictive AI

Not counting the fact that the bobklins are the easiest enemy, predictive AI does not make sense in this context. The enemies move naturally, and the barrel hitting the other guy was unexpected, as the attacking motion is sudden and fast. Not counting that fact that predictive AI usually only apply to the player model, not the environment
>>
>>344603812

It sounds like you've never played a match against QUAKE enemies, or F.E.A.R. enemies, or the squads from Half Life: Black Mesa. All of which are able to determine the line of fire from each in their squad, are able to work and adapt to the environment in real time, and even the first enemies in their respective games are capable of dodging enemy and friendly fire even at point blank range, and you need to actively outsmart them instead of charging in like a numbskull.

And mind you, most of these products are over 10 years old. What's Zelda's excuse for still having braindead enemies who actively kill eachother?

And what do you base this conjecture on?

>muh popularity
Nevermind which console has sold the most this gen, popularity is not an argument.

>muh opinion
Something which is subjective and can't be enforced as a fact or a reasonable citation of quality.

>muh metacritic
I could name you no less than 50 games that didn't deserve their metacritic score, half of them being PS4 and Xbox titles, which you said were all "mature gamer shit". So for you to backtrack and say that suddenly they deserve their scores, or to try and claim that it's okay when some games get a high score, would completely defeat any validity in your argument by showcasing a tendency for you to unfairly cherrypick and nitpick only the examples you want to use.
>>
>>344581000
Every year. Doesn't mean it will be.

I mean I'm looking forward to Breath of the Wild and I fucking HOPE it's gonna be as amazing as it seems.

But Nintendo hasn't been doing well lately. We'll see how things go.
>>
>>344604071
>usually

And as I state, the attack cannot be predicted by the other bobklin. The bobklin cannot anticipate a player dodge without making it utterly unfair, it is throwing the barrel towards the player only. The barrel throw and the bobklin attacking at the same time does not work with predictive AI. And about the dodge at point blank range thing, it is not possible for the bobklin, after attacking and experiencing a cooldown, to dodge the incoming barrel

Besides, your point applies of almost all games today. Even the dark souls bosses do not predict
>>
It will have motion controls like skyward sword mark my words
>>
>>344604606
And your proof is...?
>>
>>344604541

>And as I state, the attack cannot be predicted by the other bobklin
Then it has terrible AI.

>The bobklin cannot anticipate a player dodge without making it utterly unfair, it is throwing the barrel towards the player only
Combine gunships would like a word with you.

>The barrel throw and the bobklin attacking at the same time does not work with predictive AI
Disproven by F.E.A.R. and Quake, the latter of which has user made bots that can predict attacks while mid-air and utilize rocket jumping AND strafing to dodge fire, even from multiple directions.

>it is not possible for the bobklin, after attacking and experiencing a cooldown, to dodge the incoming barrel
Only because Nintendo has no idea how to program AI properly.

>Besides, your point applies of almost all games today. Even the dark souls bosses do not predict
And why do you think this industry is in a slump?
>>
>>344604701
I xont need proof for a prediction but its nintendo they will find a way to completely fuck it up
>>
>>344581000
If I remember right, RE4 wound up being GOTY for a lot of outlets and that was an early-January release.
>>
>>344604714
>no idea how to program AI
No, because the fucking bobklin cannot dodge in mid air using fucking rockets. Once it attacks, it cannot stop. It's physics

>then it has terrible AI
Does all AI need to predict every single movement? Such prediction doesn't even make sense in the context, as the bobklin do not communicate in any form

>combine gunships
Very different game with a very different motive. And one game doing so does not make it any less unfair. It completely destroys the concept of dodges

As I said above, bobklins are the weakest and dumbest enemy, they had explicitly stated that enemies behave differently
>>
>>344604521
Zelda is a non-linear adventure series (50% of the time, but that falls in line here) with a lot to account for, that has physics that real.

Those games you listed struggle to match up despite being linear shooter games, with enemies that only have to amount to little hitbox and big hitbox.

It's not even about the date they came out, it's about being technically out of their league. This is Nintendo's first foray into a physics engine, while none of those games are their companies first. Can you start a fire, and then use a giant fan to sweep the embers into their camps to injure.enemies in those games? You'd think that those games would be able to keep up with their modern iterations if they're as good as they say. Yet, the new games either A. Suck hard because they're bad. Or B. There are no games, precisely because they suck.
>>
>>344605103

>No, because the fucking bobklin cannot dodge in mid air using fucking rockets. Once it attacks, it cannot stop. It's physics
And whose fault is that? It's Nintendo's fault for not programming a better enemy.

>Does all AI need to predict every single movement?
Yes, they do. What good is an AI if it's easily exploitable? May as well watch a movie if the game won't challenge you.

>It completely destroys the concept of dodges
What? No it doesn't. It just means you can't act recklessly. You have to outsmart the AI, or play on an easier difficulty.

>As I said above, bobklins are the weakest and dumbest enemy,
They're also a representation of what's to come, and if they can't even offer Link a small bit of challenge, then the rest of the game doesn't look good in comparison.
>>
>>344605364

>Zelda is a game
>the other games you listed are games

That's all I care about. Genre and opinions are irrelevant here.

>Can you start a fire, and then use a giant fan to sweep the embers into their camps to injure.enemies in those games?
Yes, you can. Stop pretending that Nintendo invented these things.

I bet that BOTW doesn't let you train a bunch of wild animals, then send them towards a fortress as a distraction, while you strap a bomb to one of them, send him in, and blow up the fortress to piece, all while you sneak in during the distraction and pick up whatever you need.
>>
>>344605429
Dude you fail to realize that bobklins are the fucking weakest enemy. You think a goblin can fucking air dodge using rockets? It does not fucking make sense

And dodges are the opposite of acting recklessly. If an enemy can predict every dodge, what is the point of dodging? It nullifies an entire mechanic

>yes, they do
Why does every single enemy need to be hard as balls?

>good indication
>weakest enemy

>devs stated enemies behave differently

Oh, you
>>
>>344605658

So you expect a VN to have as much good AI?
You expect an RTS to have good combat?

>>
>>344592957

of all the people who presented Zelda during E3, she was the most insufferable one. There should be a video where she is talking over pretty much anyone that tries to say anything, and within a 10 minute period she says the word "Mayhem" what feels like twenty times.

>>
>>344605815

>Dude you fail to realize that bobklins are the fucking weakest enemy.
Not an argument. The weakest enemy should present you a challenge to start you off on your adventure. This isn't Gone Home or Firewatch, where actual gameplay skill is "toxic" and the player shouldn't be allowed to exercise some degree of skill.

>If an enemy can predict every dodge, what is the point of dodging?
You have to out-predict him. If he's a heavy soldier, then use his weapon composition against him and fire+strafe between shots. Use cover, rely on the environment, do something that actually demonstrates a willingness to play the game.

>Why does every single enemy need to be hard as balls?
Because challenge is the only thing seperating video games from being movies?

>>344605909

>So you expect a VN to have as much good AI?
>you expect an RTS to have good combat
Yes, and if they don't, they're not good games.

Do you hear yourself right now?

>first enemy should pose a challenge
Ever heard of progression? You display your skill on bosses, or stronger enemies. If you want a challenge right from the start, Zelda is not that game for you. Games fill different niches, and difficulty is not what Zelda fills. Sure, you want a challenge, but that is not what the series provides. People play Zelda for exploration, and the dungeon puzzles. Challenge is only basically reserved to the bosses

And judging by your reply to the other post, you are a troll. Goodbye

I meant of the ember fanning but whatever. I'm not interested. Western games hurt my eyes with their Toy Story graphics.

>>344606906

>Dude, Zelda is not a shooter
Who says you need to be a shooter to do that?

>Do you hear yourself right now?
I hear myself rejecting the attitude of modern game developers, who want to make everything cinematic and "comfy" because gameplay is problematic to modern customers. I don't see the problem.

>ever heard of progression?
Yes, and shouldn't the game begin progressing at some point? You say this is just the bokoblins, but what is supposed to convince me that the game will have any superior AI? Out of the hours of gameplay they showed, not a single thing looked like it would offer a challenge. And if Zelda can't offer that, then the exploration and dungeon puzzles will fall flat. A lack of effort is easy to see.
