Forums - Gaming Discussion - Zelda is mirroring western RPG's now?

killeryoshis on 27 June 2016

It is kinda mirroring WRPGS. However the ORIGINAL zelda was open world as well. This Zelda game is going back to their roots of the NES game. Nintendo tends to like to show us that the game is inspired by the NES game. The original Zelda was also inspired by WRPGs like Ultima. So like I said sorta.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

It's pretty obvious that Nintendo looked at a lot of western games.  Which, honestly, is good.  For a long time, it seemed like Nintendo's motto was that they weren't going to pay attention to anything else because they wanted to "do things their own way".  The best way is where you do what you want but you're also open to innovation that is happening elsewhere.  

The key is really the style.  If they keep the Zelda style, the elements that came from other sources should fit right in.

Only when is Nintendo, it was specially hilarious with Splatoon.

Do you really have to always play the victim?  Every single time someone says anything about Nintendo, even if the point is valid, you do this.  People talk trash about everything in gaming.  It's like dealing with the emo kid who very gently cuts their wrists because they believe they are the only ones with problems.

If you dont like my comments dont read them.

It was time they try to change the tired formula. The last Zelda (Skyward Sword ) was the worst Zelda ever. Yes they stole ideas from western rpg and western open world, well that's good at least some of those games are really fun to play and have an interesting gameplay.

It was time Nintendo stopped to remaster the old Ocarina of time gameplay each generation.

There is no such thing as inovation, in the pure form of its interpretation.

Any kind of work takes up ideas from things that came before it.The same way that western RPG or action adventures games in general took out ideas from Zelda, Zelda is also taking ideas from other games.This is how the world works.The thing that you should be concerned about is if the ideas they are implementing into the game will work on its own, and if they all work out to make a different game, a game that has the Zelda feel but also has something different in it.And I guess it will be.
Personally I think this is shacking up to be the next big Zelda since Ocarina of Time.Time will tell.

I dont see it as a bad thing. In fact, I'm happy and proud that Nintendo stopped being so goddamn stubborn and realized other developers can do a better job than them sometimes. Look at how well Splatoon was received. Since Zelda is a beloved franchise, it will be received even better.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

This game may be the hook Nintendo needs to get my wallet open to them since the Wii, year one but I can't get past the notion of the game just copying parts of Western rpg's and spreading it extremely thin, esspecially with the ridiculous climbing times ontop of that which I'm sure will lead to a relaxed feel but also an impatient, slowing of gameplay after a few hours. 

After watching an hour or two of gameplay videos, I do see the formation of a gameplay loop akin to Wrpg's but this is not "inovation" as many Zelda fans are saying, this is simply the creators of the game (And probably, Xenoblade devs inlfuence here) sucking micromanagment ideas out of Wrpg, open world games and as with Dragon quest builders, has a definate mirroring of mechanics from Minecraft.

 

I agree. This is exactly what I believe.

I hardly see any innovation. This is just Zelda being open world and more modern.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

He's got a point, man. Ignoring the critique is not the mature response here.

It was never really an RPG game until now, and it does seem to have a lot of similar elements.

They need to move the Zelda direction somehow and this way seems to be a good move

I'd say the first two titles felt like real attempts at a "Western RPG" before we starting making the distinction. If anything, it seems to me that it's really just been hardware limitations that prevented them from going that direction, as they have pretty much admitted over and over.

I don't really see this as imitation so much as it is them finally having the means to produce the game they'd always wanted.

Nope, is an action-adventure with western rpg elements.

It's an action adventure-game with modern games elements.

Fixed that for ya.
