Forums - Nintendo - Aonuma: We are making something new with Zelda HD as OoT was

 

Just show Zelda HD

Yes, I want to see 99 63.06%
 
No, I'll just buy blindly 50 31.85%
 
I hate Zelda (see results) 8 5.10%
 
Total:157

Less talky, more showy.

Seriously, we've seen 13 seconds of the game in the last 15 months, and that was a totally uneventful clip in an area we'd already seen, which essentially showed nothing of note. Hell, we haven't seen anything outside of that one grassy field yet.

Keeping your most anticipated game under wraps like this is stupid; you don't see Sony showing 13 uneventful seconds of Uncharted 4 for the entirety of 2015.

As much as I hate to say since the delay, they want to promote like an NX game. Or at least it's the only logic I find behind this nonsense silence about the game. Delayed or not, companies normally keep showing footage, especially Zelda games.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


So this Zelda is going to be more western? Is it going to have Witcher/Dragon Age type dialog trees? (since he also mentioned he's working in the dialog...) Meaningful sidequests?



Let's just hope that going from Japanese to western food doesn't mean that we will be getting an open world Zelda U with day #1 patches and buggy gameplay.

I always felt that Japanese games (especially Nintendo games) were a cut above western content. I am slightly disappointed to see Xenoblade X and now Zelda U trying so hard to copy western developers when it really ought to be the other way around.

Let's just hope that Nintendo can adapt some western elements into Zelda U's world while still holding on to that polished Nintendo experience that we all know and love.



So the game is near/at end stages of development... Interesting.
Now just show the goddamn game.

I guess I'm in the tiny camp choosing to go on blackout in hopes of being all the more surprised when I can finally play it xD

We will all be equally surprised, media blackout or not.

I think it could be more exciting the less that it's known. I mean, see too much of something and possible some of that excitement goes away.

Sounds like a placebo effect tbh.

I don't think you enjoyment or surprise is going to be greater than someone who is seeing the media before.

 

Honestly I think most ppl will forget when they cold to playing. It's 2 different experiences, and one involved consuming the media in a disconnected way while the other is done as intended by actual playing of the hand.

I suppose it could be different for everyone.

I just sorta miss the days where I knew almost nothing about a game until it was released, and when I played a new game while knowing almost nothing about made it so much more exciting to the point that I recall those memories almost perfectly to this day.

With how media is, exposing new things much more often before it's released, that magic is sort of gone. So trying to relive those past moments is kind of nice, at last for me.

That was like what? the SNES days?

All the power to you if you want to go on media blackout, but I am somewhat skeptical that you havent had that same 'magic' when playing games recently just because you followed some media before playing it.

But that is your choice, and nothing wrong with it. 

It's happened more often than that surprisingly, for games such as Super Mario World, Mario 64, Smash Bros Melee, the Wii, and even fairly recent with Undertale. Those are just the ones that are most prominent with me. I guess you could say I didn't really follow media for a long time on the internet.

I've found my experiences with these games the most surprising and memorable because I knew almost nothing about them before playing them. So I would think otherwise that a lot of exporsure to something would not take that excitement away. That's just me though. I can't speak for everyone.

At this point its obvious they will show Zelda U with name, full trailer and release date (Q4) at E3, most likely running on NX (to marketing NX, but of course game will be released for Wii U). Smaller chances are that we will maybe see Zelda U on NX reveal before E3.
