| VanceIX said: No one said anything about "hyper-realism". A realistic Zelda is something like what they showed at E3 back at the Wii U reveal- You know, the game that had fans drooling for a long time? It wasn't realistic, but the emphasis on the darker tone and amazing realistic lighting gave the vibe that the Wii U was truly a next-gen console worth owning. A Skyward Sword 2.0 artstyle is beautiful, and I love it, but its not going to sell as many copies. Your opinion is wrong. You know why? Realistic Zeldas have always sold more. OoT and TP sold more than WW or SS. TP itself sold 7 million, compared with the 3.75 million that Skyward Sword sold, and it had a MUCH smaller install base than Skyward Sword when it came out. Facts are facts. My age has nothing to do with artstyle, so I'd advise you keep it out of this discussion, because it lends you no credibility. I've played every single Zelda (excluding the CDi games), and I've loved almost all of them dearly. Just because I was born in the mid 90s doesn't mean I lose all credibility on the older games. |
You do realise about 4 times they said that the E3 2012 tech demo was not reiniscent of the next Zelda game. For crying out loud they even said last E3 that the E3 tech demo was not the art style they are using in the next Zelda title, and as a "Zelda fan" like you claim to be. You never picked that up at all from news sources
Regardless it's your opinion that " A realistic Zelda is something like what they showed at E3 back at the Wii U reveal- You know, the game that had fans drooling for a long time? It wasn't realistic, but the emphasis on the darker tone and amazing realistic lighting gave the vibe that the Wii U was truly a next-gen console worth owning. A Skyward Sword 2.0 artstyle is beautiful, and I love it, but its not going to sell as many copies.". That is NOT and I repeat NOT FACT. Do you really expect people to take you seriously when you pass off your opinion as fact. Trying to back it up with sales numbers on Zelda titles that looked similar is just retarded.
The moment you play the fact game, you better have valid evidence to support your claim because you have no proof that this game wont sell in large numbers. You are running on assumptions and opinions, does not make it facts. You're significatly worse than half these kids out there think CoD is the next best thing.
Also my sources for my claim about the art style: http://www.vg247.com/2013/06/15/the-legend-of-zelda-wii-u-will-be-neither-ultra-realistic-or-cartoony-realistic-says-aonuma/
Straight from Eiji Aunuma mouth. I hope you don't argue against him
