Durability can be good if executed right.

We might not get Adam Boyes on the stream, apparently Sony said no interviews with execs, they are focussing on games.

[Brinbe]

wtf!

 

[FiggyCal]

I understand where y'all are coming from, but I like weapon durability. I like to have to prepare and maintain shit. I guess I'm an outlier.

Agreed. It also rewards and encourages exploration.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

That was cool. Looks like the time-warp stuff is going to be a big part of the game.

 

[zma1013]

They need to reset the console to prove to me those item prompts don't reset.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So do I have to punch a tree to get some wood which I can hit rocks with for stone?

 

[ratcliffja]

I'm fine with weapon durability as long as the better weapons can be repaired. I am too anal to ever use good weapons if I'm afraid that they'll go away forever.

 

[Xeteh]

I understand where y'all are coming from, but I like weapon durability. I like to have to prepare and maintain shit. I guess I'm an outlier.

It is one of my least favorite mechanics in games. Some survival games use it as a core mechanic and that makes sense but some games use it just for no real reason.

Probably wants to avoid questions about the Neo.

 

[Glass Shark]

I can probably deal with item durability if encumbrance or inventory space isn't a problem

but I'm sure it will be

 

[Zaph]

Whenever Nintendo shows a game, I feel like people's gaming expectations regress 10 years.

"there's loot!?"
"Oh you can climb?"
"you can turn an apple into a baked apple?!?"
"Crafting??? Fuuuuck"

One hell of a handicap

 

[gogosox82]

Weapon Durability I hate weapon durability.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Yes, Austin I thought the same.

 

[Zombie James]

If the focus of the game is survival, weapon durability totally makes sense.

 

[Killzig]

that weapon durability can fuck right off.

 

[Lijik]

You know what Zelda needed? Weapon durability :/

I dunno there was a recent Zelda-inspired indie game called Warden that had that and it honestly wasnt that bad. If the game keeps giving you a steady stream of replacements via the enemies/environment it should be okay.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

that weapon durability can fuck right off.

Im sure you get rid of that with the master sword

 

[Zocano]

Weapon durability is necessary when they have a "loot" system like this. Literally no reason to have these multiple drops if there's no durability.

Agree 100%. Makes me feel like a crazy person. My reaction is like "...okay..."

Yeah it's like....people act like it's revolutionary. 'OH MY GOD LOOT! OH MY GOD THAT OPEN WORLD!'

Oh god durability. That does not sound fun in a zelda game. Not at all.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I'm super into the durability. It looks like you'll be going through a lot of weapons and variations and clothes.

 

[theSlacker]

No to whoever asked for item rentals. >:C

 

[Backfoggen]

They really need to give Link some better idle facial expressions and make him not just do a dumb stare.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Item rentals are fucking trash.

but hylian trousers

 

[brainzelda]

Yeah it's like....people act like it's revolutionary. 'OH MY GOD LOOT! OH MY GOD THAT OPEN WORLD!'

It's revolutionary in the context of 3d zelda.

 

[Data West]

Wind Waker?
Ocarina?


Dudes this looks JUST like Skyward Sword.

 

[santeesioux]

This is like my Japanese animes.

 

[Easy_D]

So this is pretty much Fallout. Wake up from cryo-sleep in underground facility and explore post apocalyptic Hyrule

 

[Zocano]

Too much of this game feels like Wind Waker to not be heavily related to it.

Enemies are nearly the same design wise, enemy deaths are even the exact same.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

It's revolutionary in the context of 3d zelda.

it doesn't get a pass

 

[No_Style]

Yeah it's like....people act like it's revolutionary. 'OH MY GOD LOOT! OH MY GOD THAT OPEN WORLD!'

Oh god durability. That does not sound fun in a zelda game. Not at all.

You have to qualify everything with the suffix "IN A NINTENDO GAME". I don't think anyone is giving it a pass but it is fun to see Nintendo catch up and put their twist on these things.

 

[zma1013]

They've lost their uplink.

 

[Xeteh]

Dan is being a crazy person again.

 

[Jennipeg]

Probably wants to avoid questions about the Neo.

Oh yeah that's a good point, I thought they were being all stuffy but that must be the reason.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Too much of this game feels like Wind Waker to not be heavily related to it.

It's the SS design.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Dan mention Majora and the stream dies.

 

[Zocano]

It's the SS design.

So still Wind Waker, okay.

 

[petethepanda]

I didn't mind the idea of item rentals, but you got so much money so quickly that it made the entire system entirely trivial.

Yep. They get credit for shit that has been industry standard for years.

The Korok dude are only happen due ti the great flood of Wind waker.

Eh, I just really don't like the durability aspect of things. It's like...to me Zelda is about using the unique stuff and not having it break/having to find another of it.

 

[Nerokis]

i'm to the part where Link scares the old man with the sudden "i am now swinging around an inflamed stick" thing

and i am goddamn captivated

love the crew's reactions so far, also. good stuff all around

 

[Hasney]

Probably wants to avoid questions about the Neo.

Yeah, House is doing all the messaging around that to major news outlets, so it's probably just coming from the top only.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

So still Wind Waker, okay.

I just saw something on Twitter. You're completely right.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I just saw something on Twitter. You're completely right.

Please share.

When does Giant Bomb's E3 predictions podcast go live, the sealed envelope one. Is that 11? Noon?

 

[ratcliffja]

Wind Waker already had that stuff, though. I don't recall if they broke or not, but you constantly switched weapons. This really feels like Wind Waker with the water replaced with more interesting environments.

I think Brad is uploading as we speak.
