It's the horizon slayer on deck!

But seriously, I'll go through some of these soon. Expecting pretty good reception.

Last night I was watching a lot of reviews of horizon and the games are very different, Horizon is more like an ubisoft open world X Tomb Raider and this is more like a bethesda open world X Zelda. I understand the comparisons and I'm going to play both, but both are going to give you a very different experience.

Are there some comparisons between the Switch and Wii U version? I'm worried about the Wii U version's framerate.

I don't know about any comparisions, but it's been reported that frame rate hiccups seen on the Switch version have been ironed out, so you could expect the same from the Wii U version

Game will good reviews regardless of actual quality. The Series always have. SS is extremly high and most didn't like it much

but not because the quality was bad... people had different opinions because of the motion controls (that I love because are responsive but not everyone wanna do the motion stuff) and because of the linear structure(which is great because there are a lot of hidden and new areas) some fans were mad because it's different from what you expect on a zelda game, after twilight princess people were expeting something like breath of the wild... but the quality of skyward sword was not bad at all.

 

This game is shaping to be the best zelda game ever regardless of the biased opinions or name of the franchise.

Yup this a true, there are ony complaints about Zelda SS that actualy great and high qualty game, motion controls that didnt like but all and most linear structure of game compared to previous Zelda games.

In any case BotW praise for now looks much higher than it was for SS.

Well, that was more of a jab at all the people here (and on 4chan's /v/) calling Horizon a "zelda slayer", which is ridiculous and I don't even play Zelda. I still feel they are very similar, at least at first glance. They definitely look like they will play differently and certainly have their own flair.

Have their been any previews covering the Wii U version yet? I haven't been able to find any. (And I mean previews of the finished game, not ones from months ago)

That's the system I'm buying it for, and I wanna know what I'm getting.

It would seem review copies are focussed mostly on the Switch so you may be waiting until launch day for that to be covered.  It's unfortunate but not surprising given it is a launch title.  Similar marginalizing did happen with Twilight Princess GCN.

Ugh, guess I'll be finding out via my own copy in 6 days time then. >_>

Surely somebody out there has the Wii U version and can just tell us how it runs...
