Forums - Gaming Discussion - Do you wish Zelda U was going to look like Uncharted 4?

I think that I would like any game to look better than it actually does.  I think that Zelda U looks fantastic and Uncharted 4 looks fantastic. Do I wish they both looked even better?  Absolutely! Am I completly blown away by both games in their current state? Absolutely!

Zelda U looks perfect, so no.



I couldn't care less.

The art-style actually makes Zelda look better than Uncharted IMO.


I know its annoying that people 'quote for truth' but this is very much my take on the matter. Uncharted looks very good in technical terms, but I like my games to have an artistic flair and Zelda U was the only game at E3 that really, truly, delievered that for me.

 

Uncharted, Sunset Overdrive and Yarn Yoshi are also very nice artistically, but nothing else made me felt like such a dead-match for how I felt it should look - because Hyrule honestly looked like what I can best describe as 'The Kingdom of Paradise' from mythology.



What's wrong with having a unique artstyle? Anyways, I could go either way if it had those graphics as long as the gameplay and story is intact.

I'm really glad that 85% of the respondents disagree with you.  Zelda has roots on the NES and that is where they should stay.  Colorful enemies, colorful worlds, an otherworldly feel that doesn't make you think of Indiana Jones.  As someone else in this thread said...the only game within Nintendo's franchises that I'd like to see go a little more "realistic" would be Metroid.  


But the other posters in this thread are mainly Nintendo gamers. Get this question out to non Nintendo gamers. Then see what people really want. You know this is true. See WW sales, Skyward Sword sales. Ocarina and Majora were pretty high tech for there day. Had great sales. TP....great sales! Coincidence? Casuals and core gamers from other systems want HD Zelda carted 4.

Even the Sony fans in this thread are repeating the same thing.  But seriously, that's why Sony fans are Sony fans and Nintendo fans are Nintendo fans (generally speaking, of course).  We're not looking for the same aesthetic.  Uncharted would have terrible sales on a Nintendo system and you know it.  A Mario 64 style game with a massive world on the other hand would sell like hotcakes.  You have to consider your audience.



At least it should look like the old tech demo.

People calling Uncharted 4's graphics bad because it's realistic are super silly, but Zelda U looks amazing so I'll still say no.



No, not at all.

For one thing, what little teaser game engine footage we were shown, looks gorgeous, and I can't wait to see more.

For another, while I certainly liked TP's look, and really dug the look of the e3 tech demo, and would very much still like a game visually in that vein in the future, I do NOT ever want to see a "photo realistic" looking Zelda game. I don't ever want to see Link and the other characters and monsters of Hyrule looking as "real" as possible. It's one thing to have "real" looking landscapes and water and lighting and particle effects. That's awesome. But a "real" looking Link? No fucking thanks.

 

And quite frankly, the notion that "Sony fans like realistic games but Nintendo fans don't", is beyond dumb. Those same Sony fans loved the SHIT out of Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro, and Croc, and Jak & Daxter, and Ratchet & Clank, and Sly Cooper, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

If PS4 got a game with a similar art style to this new Zelda U, most Sony fans would be just as excited as Nintendo fans are.
