Forums - Nintendo - Any doubt that Zelda U will be 2015 GoTY?

Of course there's doubt. I can't tell if it's GOTY material from 5 minutes of alpha bad quality footage, and I'm not sure how anyone can! Of course it'll be good - there's yet to be a bad main series Zelda title - but will it be a genre-definer? That we'll only really find out when the game is in our hands.

What!? Uh yeah. Uncharted 4, Arkham Knight, The Order 1886, and Ratchet Reboot will probably be above it for me. Though it will probably be the only thing I buy for WiiU next year other than perhaps Mario Party.

Only if they scale back the colour palette to portray a vivid array of greys and browns, and none of those silly other ones. That grass looked far too green to be considered adult GOTY material.

Better question is will this be the first home console Zelda game in forever to be loved from the start??
Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword all copped a lot of hate for some time, usually until the next game came around =P
Not sure about Majora's Mask, probably in the same boat with that 3 day cycle.



Yeah, next year is gonna be a tough one!! But let's wait and see which of these games will actually live up to the hype...

EDIT: But I gotta ask, is Bloodborne really GOTY material? Nothing I've seen of it is all that impressive. And it's a RPG? Seemed more like hack'n'slash to me, but if it IS RPG, I think Witcher 3 will be a better one.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

If its a sucess, i have no doubt No man's sky will swoop the awards no matter how good Zelda is. The tech on that is an advancement to videogames. Perfected it can become absolutely amazing. We will have incredibly large worlds to explore in gaming.

My personal GOTY will probably be Xenoblade X though.

No, because it's impossible. Zelda fans are spoiled and there will always be a vocal minority saying it's the worst game ever as soon as it's released. Or even before that - hell, since the E3 reveal there were actually already people complaining "omg they went cartoony kids again this will be crap". It's impossible for it to not get criticism because expectations for every new 3D Zelda are infinitely gigantic and there's millions of Zelda fans who love the franchise for different reasons and they'll hate on the games that don't follow the same structure as some other entry they love.

Still, I think both Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword were loved from the start, the hate only started to become really strong about a couple of months after their releases when the hype faded.

This.

As soon as it releases there's going to be an avalanche of "worst Zelda evaaar!!!1one!" proclamations, just as there was for the last four console Zeldas.

Serious? A thread about if Zelda U is going to get Goty when weve only seen 2 small trailers for it? I know its Zelda but if this isnt a joke and is serious then that shows you how overrated and over hyped this game is.

My opinion is that i have no clue, competition is steep and imo more promising next year. But to be fair we have only seen so little from Zelda so you never know.

After their track record, Zelda games have earned the right to be overhyped and overrated with such little info. And honestly, while I don't doubt that the other games that people have been listing as competitors for that title will  be stellar, unless one of those games really goes out and shatters my expectations, Metal Gear is the only game announced for next year that can take the title from Zelda. All this is my personal opinion going by the uality and track record of previous games of each series.

This. So this. Skyrim was a fantastic pioneer in this for me. I never knew there was such a vast array of browns and greys until I played that game. The mistake Nintendo make time and time again is creating worlds that look beautiful and inviting. What they need to do is go for a gritty, mature look.. Dull greys and mud browns do the trick nicely. Any hint of actual colour must be eradicated.
