Is nintendo using cartoon graphics because the nx isn't going to be powerful enough?
>>344921000
Is it using the Stamina Meter because it thought any part of Skyward Sword was worth keeping?
>>344921000
sick trips dude
absolutely dont fukin care what you say
>Zero Trips wasted on a stupid question
Cartoonish artstyle lets the animation be more expressive and creative
also It doesnt age like shit
Wind Waker literally didnt need the HD upgrade
>>344921000
No, it's using cartoon graphics because Aonuma likes cartoon graphics.
>>344921213
The stamina meter is necessary for this game, especially with the climbing mechanics
>>344921213
Stamina Meter was good though, it made Link a lot more acrobatic
Also Skyward Sword had weapon leveling up
>>344921000
No because your mom wasn't available.
>>344921238
We;; that's because you're autistic and probably a person that calls people "newfags" or "normies". :) I don't care about an irrelevant number I got.
I agree it should be ultra realistic and grim
Like crysis
>>344921000
>>344921213
First this thread and now OP?
>>344581000
>>344921000
No, they're doing it because they know how to make a good aesthetic
tell me, in 20 years when we have holo smell-o-vision, which will look more dated: this, or all the games trying to be "realistic"?
>>344921340
He's not wrong
You should only ever use the same style if it's meant to be a continuation
But he's not keeping it into the midget artstyle
It's constantly redoing the mix of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess
>>344921421
Or shadow of the colossus. You know, a game with good graphics and an actual art style.
>new Zelda looks like a Ghibli movie
>soundtrack sounds like Joe Hisaishi
This is all I've wanted since Zelda 1 came out and I saw that art.
>>344921000
Console fags thinking their PS9's and Xbox 20 are going to even come close to PC graphics and power.
>>344921000
They're apologizing for apologizing for Wind Waker.
>>344921639
No you didn't. Don't lie.
>>344921708
Fogot to add that a PC & NX combo is >>>>>>>> babybox and outdatedstation 9
>>344921000
Zelda's always had cartoony artstyles. Why would this be any different?
>>344921708
Pc virging thinking they're getting zelda. (b-but I have a wiiu combo! Not alll consoles are bad)
>>344921639
Imagine if this was on pc and you could mod Link to look like that pic.
>>344921621
>an actual art style
You say this like BOTW doesn't have an actual artstyle
>>344921708
Tbh, by the time the Xbox 20 is out we'll have reached photo realism even on shitty hardware and the difference between PC and console won't matter graphically.
What was wrong with twilight princess' graphics? Let me guess, nintendo shit talked it and said that it wasn't child friendly enough.
>>344921893
But you have to remember, my life doesn't revolve around video games because i'm not a manchild. That stuff isn't important to me.
>>344921639
>>soundtrack sounds like Joe Hisaishi
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. It's not him doing the music obviously, but it definitely sounds like they're trying to emulate his style somewhat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMZ8P4Tdm8g
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy8MEO_2AYo&t=24s
Have they said anything about who the composer of BotW is?
>>344921893
Keep thinking that Consoles are outdated the day they are released.
When the new Playstation and Xbox get released their graphics cards/processors will be about 2 generations behind PC.
protip:Im not a poorfag
>>344922117
>Keep thinking that. Consoles are outdated the day they are released.
forgot to add period. :/
>>344921639
>sine Zelda 1 came out
You weren't alive when Zelda 1 came out
>>344922117
I never said they weren't outdated by the time they're released. But several decades in the future, we'll have reached photo realism OR the point where graphical fidelity is not limited by hardware, but by the budgets of the developers.
>>344921297
This makes even more sense when you realize Nintendo's 'evergreen' strategy they want their games to look good in five, ten, or even twenty years.
Games that try to look 'real' usually look like shit pretty rapidly.
>>344922557
>born in 1980
>zelda came out in 86
>???
>Calling something Japanese cartoon
You should probably kys.
>>344921000
Is Japan still producing anime because the nx isn't going to be powerful enough?
Yes the Wii U is weak. And yes BotW is sadly suffering from the weak hardware.
But the hardware got nothing to do with "cartoon graphics". I sure hope that even when we have hardware twice or many times more powerful than current gen hardware, we'll still have videogames made with stylized art.
I've got the real world for photorealism. And I like stylization to get away from, or to tint and romanticize reality.
>>344921213
>>344921383
Yeah, the stamina meter was really the most interesting idea SS had. It's a meaningful resource that this game seems to be making much better use of.
>>344921000
>video games must have muh photo-realistic graphics like UNCHARTED
KILL
YOUR
SELF
>>344921000
Anon, the NX will be a smartphone with less features and it'll sell really, really well because normies love this shit
>>344921213
Stamina meter is superior to rolling or side hopping constantly.

>>344921000
Artstyle always holds up better than photo-realism. Remember, there was a time when people thought Goldeneye looked amazing. However there's a lot of sprite based games that still look good.
>>344923283
>>this was all you had for his movies in 86
Not if you grew up inJapan, friend.
People acting as if realistic graphics in this day and age wont hold up. We've gotten to the point they look pretty much close to real life. I promise you all the last guardian will hold up.
>>344924849
I'm going to get attacked for this, but am I the only one who prefers the ones on the left? I like realistic. Just not a fan of cartoonish.
>>344924849
>movies vs games.jpg
>>344924849
>graphics
watch a movie if you want better graphics
games are supposed to be about gameplay, it's not important how a game looks, what matters is if it helps the gameplay or not.
That people increasingly only focus on looks is how we got to the point where trailers don't even show gameplay and shit sells as long as is looks decent.
>>344925031
There's nothing wrong with preferring realistic art styles to cartoony ones, as long as you realize that a realistic art style doesn't automatically make a game better.
>>344923483
It's almost like people back in 1997 were buying games with cutting edge amazing graphics in 1997 and not caring how they'd look twenty years in the future because they'd be buying NEW games then.
>>344925367
Yes! I will agree, 100%. Wow, there's people on this site that let each other have opinions. Thanks anon<3
>>344921000
Yes OP, you figured it out.
>>344921000
What's with the dull faded look? Even if cartoony, wouldn't it look nicer if it were a little bit more vibrant?
You know, having more colors actually puts pressure on the graphics card.
Also it kinda hides polygons by making it all colorful so it's a trade-off, but polygons have a harsher effect, so yeah
>>344925640
Cartoon game with no gameplay. I'm guessing that's some shitty jrpg.
>>344925665
Well look at bioshock infinite. The game uses realistic graphics yet has tons of color and a vibrant art style.
>>344925665
Looks like they might have used the wrong color range when capturing.
I like the cartoon art styles. Not shitty JRPG garbage that uses that lifeless anime style, but like I love mario sunshine, overwatch, zelda, donkey kong, conker's bad fur day, etc.
> Is nintendo using cartoon graphics because the nx isn't going to be powerful enough?
Botw is fundamentally a wii u game at it's core so an assumption like that is improper to make.
>>344924679
Why, I do believe you're correct!
>>344925382
It's almost like people still enjoy games that are pleasing to the eye despite their age instead of whatever was cutting edge 20 years ago
>>344924849
How come so few devs can pull off the "cartoony but still good-looking" look?
Seems like only Nintendo can do it.
>>344922084
>>344921639
What soundtrack? they said they aren't putting actual music in the game, just atmospheric soft tones. It's retarded.
>>344926569
No, people enjoy good games despite their age. That's why Atari games still hold up.
>>344926763
not a single atari game holds up tho
>>344926821
This fucking guy.
>>344921000
Artstyle >>>>> Graphical Fidelity.
This is always fucking ture, no matter the system.
>>344926735
No, it's only the overworld that won't have music. Dungeons, boss fights, towns, everything else will.
They're using it because the Wii U isn't powerful enough, and realistic graphics would stand out as a sore thumb when you can see better realistic games on the other consoles.
>>344921000
>Is nintendo using cartoon graphics because the nx isn't going to be powerful enough?
This is almost pissing me of as much as when game reviewers were saying way back that Mad world was in black in white because the Wii wasn't powerful enough to render it in color even after platinum devs said numerous times that it was to mimic Sin City.
>>344926763
>That's why Atari games still hold up.
Whoa whoa whoa.
NES games sure, MAYBE some C64 games, but Atari games?
Fucking no, they look awful, and very few of them are pleasing on the eyes.
>>344926904
It's a shame the artstyle is also garbage.
How the fuck did they manage to make a game that looks worse than Skyward Sword?
>>344927092
How is it garabge?
The pop-in is pretty fucking bad, I'll admit, (Seriously, why do half the rock on the terrain pop-in with the other objects?) but what's wrong with the artstyle itself?
>>344927085
>being a graphicsfag
Don't talk shit about cel shading
>>344924849
Its pretty impressive how every game on the left has worse gameplay than every game on the right.
They use cartoon graphics because their games are casual kiddy trash. Simple as that
>>344928884
Comeon you can fit more buzzwords into this
Let me try
They use cartoon graphics as they are soulless, bland, boring, and also are kids thrash.
>>344926614
Limitations lead to creativity. Nintendo aren't known for having powerful hardware so they need to make up for it in other areas, that being artstyle.
>>344921297
>Wind Waker literally didnt need the HD upgrade
This. The cartoony artstyle looked better without the pointless bloom and realistic shadows
