"zelda wiiU proves once and for all, the raw power of a console directly affects gameplay possibilites."

only to a certain extent. certainly, the wii couldn't handle a game of such scale, but this will never be a problem anymore. we reached the technological point where limitations are basically nonexistant.


That's what I thought when I played the PS1 and N64. I also thought the same when I played the PS2 and Gamecube.

I guess you are just easy to impress.

Just as you are now.

yes... yes they are. even PS4 and XB1 will show their limits in a few years. 

the limits were already shown on PS360. physicis were held back, frame rates were effected. animations were stiff. worlds were empty. character on screen were limited. 

more power will always open more possibilities for gameplay, its a fact.

It looks nice, not amazing but nice. I will be buying it Day 1 for sure though. I want me some more Zelda!

Bollocks, that was just his excuse not to follow original Zelda formula and to wank off to puzzles.

Morrowind (2002) is seamless open-world game, and it was on Xbox 1, as well as Gothic 2 in 2002 on PC, so it was more than possible to have it before WiiU.

You are kidding right?  So there would be no reason for the next gen consoles to be more powerful and/ or it was a total waste for Xb1 and PS4 to be so much more powerful this gen than the Wii u?

Yet here we are, waiting for an Elder Scrolls game with a bigger world than the ones in the games from the 90's, despite all that power.

It proves Zelda never getting its biggest selling and more popular art style for next 5-8 years.


it just boggles my mind.

ejji anouma or whatever needs to stop making zelda's

everyone he's made has not been top notch.


He's the one behind OoT and Majora's Mask...

 

and to answer OP: Holodust is right, Gamecube could have pulled an Open World Zelda if they really wanted to.

I never argued that power didn't create new gameplay possibilities until now. I hardly even played the Wii. It just felt so limited. The 360's power genuinely allowed for new gameplay experiences.

This time around though I'm not so sure. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, as I've had a gaming PC for around 3 years now which has been good for playing upscaled PS360 games and RTS games, but I'm yet to see new types of gameplay made possible through power.
