| Mr Khan said: This. The way he made it sound, they were at a point in development where building a trailer or demo would have detracted from the overall pace, so they were probably in a more foundational point, because Miyamoto recently said (in that whole "seduce developers" thing i posted), that they don't make the game presentable until they have the fundamentals down.
My guess is that they probably have gameplay floating around, and the reason they were able to show that bit of concept art is because the girl is essential to the gameplay (however that be), so they have her made up before they really build the meat of the story
Where they could be now, i cannot guess. But i believe they had something then, but they would have had to go out of their way to make it presentable (take time out to finalize a character model for Link, take time out to build a few environments and a few cutscenes), which is why we didn't see anything, because them just showing what they had would have looked very much like a tech demo, which would have pissed people off.
Early 2011 at the latest, i say. I think they will shoot for a holiday 2010 thing. Unless more tea tables get upended. |
I think they have something too. I mean, it's been almost 3 years since zelda TP, they're obviously at least 75% done with the game, but holiday 2010 is not gunna happen.
