Not the biggest Imagine Dragons fans but this is wonderful.

 

[foltzie1]

So much this.

Gyro controls are just fine for things like telescopes and aiming arrows. It was a blast in Wind Waker HD.

Random waggle on the other than. . . can jump of a bridge.

 

[Amani]

Uh guys? It was a 3-5 min. gameplay demo. 'Course there wasn't much to look at. But that sunset, dem horses, Link has his hood...art direction and graphics wise, it looks solid.

 

[Jobbs]

Nintendo revealed this game as if they are the first ones ever to make an open world game. Someone should remind them theyv'e been beaten by many years -- other companies were doing this back while they were still busy regurgitating the same linear handhold zelda games.

 

[dex3108]

Second part of the show was really good.

 

[Ithil]

That was probably the worst reveal of what should be a huge game I have ever seen. They show it on a TV that takes up 1/3 of the screen. I assume because at this stage it looks like shit? Because it sure looked like shit there. Those textures looked like ass. Big empty world. Terrible.

I think with generous reactions like this they might as well not show a single thing from the game until release day.

 

[Monocle]

OK show, good final number. Too bad about Dragon Age. I'm not knocking its obvious quality, but talk about a safe choice for GOTY.

 

[Boss Man]

Glad to see Skyrim Sword is well on its way, I just hope more is added to the world to liven it up.

Yeah if there's anything Nintendo has trouble with it's filling a world with details and making it feel alive.

lol


It'll be Skyrim with good combat.

 

[Epcott]

Loved the grass in Zelda, kinda hated the ground texture, loved the vast landscape, was a bit disappointed by lack of motion swordplay, grew bored of landsca... Holy fuck, wild horses?

(Kisses Wii U)

 

[Eyeshield1625]

imagine if zelda had dragons

Yeah she'd be all like "I AM THE MOTHER OF DRAGONS!"

 

[jwhit28]

I want to hear Yoshi's Island Athletic

 

[Nafai1123]

Zelda will probably make me buy a Wii U

 

[Branson]

I didn't know Prince Devitt could sing.

 

[UltraGunner]

Only thing worse than a shitty radio band is a shitty radio band doing acoustic performances.

 

[shadowkat]

You're killing me with the Arrow gifs.

 

[Dmax3901]

Man I'm a diehard Nintendo and Zelda fan, but that footage was really disappointing. Sure it's huge but so barren! Horses looked great though.

Why did it never show us it fullscreen? We know how to play these games, show us the game!

 

[Dice]

More hyped for Star Fox TBH

But Koji Kondo & Imagine Dragons, who expected this?

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Draconian]

I really wish developers would stop with these gyro/motion controls in games ... they never work properly and they're just not an enjoyable part of the experience ...

Edit: I will admit, though, that spray painting in Infamous was OK ...

Yeah man, those Windwaker HD gyro controls were awful!

Oh wait.

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

This is the perfect song for Nintendo.

 

[Chris1]

So what was the thing EA was hyping up?

 

[gimmmick]

Nice to see a local band close out the show. They are playing holiday havoc next Thursday. Going to be a good show since they always have a great turn out here in Vegas.

 

[KarmaCow]

Some baffling decisions like handing off awards to the side aside, that was good. Not great but I kinda liked how rough it was.

 

[Crzy1]

MS didn't show anything. Not good from them.

Yeah, kinda surprised. They may not have anything in the works beyond Halo 5 or Quantom Break.

 

[pinkurocket]

Gotta love people that judge Zelda on the footage that was shown. The biggest thing you should take away from it, is how different this game is compared to other Zeldas. It's huge in scope, you have so much freedom. Take that with the level of quality of Zelda games and you have some hype right there.

 

[UrbanRats]

Epona to control like Agro? Megaton if true.

 

[m_shortpants]

Koji Kondo x Imagine Dragons

who would've thought?

 

[goldsoundz]

Legend of Zelda fairy theme is the best video game song ever. Never manages to not choke me up.

 

[thecouncil]

First of all, that was probably the worst display of a game I've ever seen. It's my least favorite Zelda game at this point.

Secondly, this song is the new Zelda theme? This game is going to suck so bad.

Nintendo has lost it, truly.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Not big on Imagine Dragons but this is a good performance.

 

[Uhyve]

This is really weird. But uh... I think I like this?

 

[Saint Gregory]

That was a terrible way to show off Zelda but they probably are going to save the epic trailer for one of their NDs.

What they showed still looked really beautiful though. All that foliage and wildlife is incredible.

 

[SalvaPot]

Koji Kondo on the piano like a boss.

 

[ricelord]

That looked bad. That looked really bad.

If that wasn't a Zelda game nobody would give a shit.

.

 

[Zach]

Nice show. A little rough, but much more enjoyable than the other awards shows.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Lol Twitch:

"name of song?"

"darude sandstorm"

haha.

 

[Santiako]

shut the fuck up and let Kondo play

 

[Gator86]

yeah I didn't see anything really compelling there

But the map was really large and Nintendo!

 

[udivision]

Koji playing too? Ha!

 

[Outtrigger888]

Zelda looked plain and empty as hell.

You don't know nintendo very well do you? It has almost a year left to develop.

 

[Christhor]

There were more time spent on music performances than on new game trailers. Awful, awful show.

 

[Jomjom]

This is the perfect song for Nintendo.

Haha seriously.

 

[Paper Lion]

Five million times better than VGX.

 

[mr teaspoon]

Zelda music was great til that guy started singing.

 

[renegade_dewitt]

And now this song...should have stuck with the LoZ themes.

Exactly! Kojji is a legend! Let him breathe!

 

[TheChits]

Fantastic end

 

[~Kinggi~]

Wait a minute Koji Kondo is playing with them on their song right now lol amazing

 

[Bricky]

Also, what is with Nintendo revealing everything like it is the most boring stuff in the world lately? The first gameplay of their new Zelda and they use some offscreen footage of the developers casually chatting.

That stuff is awesome for Nintendo Directs, but this is a big reveal. You gotta create some hype damnit, this made me go 'looks neat' at best. Same with Star Fox.

Seems like only Smash Bros. knows how to properly hype Nintendo fans nowadays.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

This song is very apt for Nintendo, It's time for them to begin, but they're never changing.

 

[Reedirect]

Should've left after Kojima. Not a bad show overall, much better than any VGA's, but still far from greatness. At least DA won GOTY and Sierra had a nice retrospective.
