Nintendo Treehouse Live @ E3 2016 Thread [*LIVE*] (No childish commentary allowed)

The world looks great but there needs to be things to do to encourage people to interact with it. Not many people are going to just wander around trying different weapons and messing with monsters. There needs to be missions, sidequests and objectives to do in the world. NPCs with interesting side stories and quests to do. Just look at how Rockstar or Bethesda designs an open world, give me something to do in it. The world is nice but it's empty.

Doesn't really sound like you would have been impressed with the game no matter what they did.

That seems to be the mantra of Nintendo fans lately.

I grew up with Nintendo and Zelda, I have been ready to get another Nintendo console since the GCN which may be my favourite console of all time.

This looks extremely weak honestly, I really do not see it winning over any new fans or regaining lost ones like myself. If you guys enjoy it then that's great but from everything shown so far there is little to nothing you could say is objectively great about this game that isn't already present to the same or better degree in even mediocre open world offerings elsewhere. Maybe it seems incredible if you're in a Nintendo microcosm circa 2008?

Honestly not trying to troll and not a Nintendo hater at all, I just see nothing impressive here at all. If this was Ubisoft revealing a Wii U exclusive new IP I have a strong feeling you guys would be tearing it apart.

Can someone direct me to the schedule again? Trying to figure out how much Treehouse goodness is left for the day

Uh... Am I the only one that is incredibly underwhelmed by what has been shown so far? :( not only does it look like a GameCube game, it seems to have the gameplay of a 5+ year old game to boot. Why are we supposed to be impressed by an incredibly sparse open world, ultra simplistic crafting systems that have been present in other games for literally decades, the same old combat, simplistic world interactions and a stealth meter that wouldn't have been very impressive in Wind Waker let alone a Wii U/NX game...

Technically the game also looks extremely poor with horrible low rest textures, barely any geometry, last gen animations, barely any lighting effects to speak of and what looks to be a dire frame rate... I can only hope these will massively improve over time and on the NX, although considering the amount of time this has been in gestation I find it hard to see it as anything other than a bad sign generally.

I don't doubt it will be a Good Game(tm) but I can't help but feel this is just no where near good enough for greatness and I really can't believe this is their entire E3..

As the minutes pass and it sinks in I get more and more upset. Thanks for typing all that out for me.

All those years, for this. All that confidence, for this. This game probably won't make my top 10 of e3. Really surprisingly upset here.
 
Giving the benefit of doubt that it's still very early but I'd have trouble staying involved with this kinda open world. Coming off Witcher 3, it just doesn't feel alive, lived in?

Looks lived in but ages before. It's a wasteland and it seems like it's supposed to be, by looking at the title and the little tidbit of story we saw.

Graphicly wise, yes Witch 3 is above (still need to see more zones tho)
But interaction wise ?
Zelda is above, I look foward to cut all those trees, lol

Frankly, so far it kind of reminds me of Splatoon in a way, a fresh and unique take on an already established genre.

They certainly did not invent most of the open-world/rpg related things in what they've shown but most of it just works, feels right, and has something truly unique about it.

They really got me with all the creative ways you already can interact with the world and ennemies with the few items you get at the begginning, I really hope they don't let it fall off later in the game when you get more type of items.

Really impressed so far.
 
was not too optimistic about it but it's the Game of the Show for me.

I just am so frustrated they aren't showing the NX version. But I've already ranted enough about how mindboggling their decision here is enough

Ok "a GameCube game" is a bit harsh and nowhere near accurate but in 2016 this is not exactly pushing any envelopes. Its not "ugly" but it looks... dated.

I'm just hoping the world is more dense than it appears, with lots of unique locations and reasons to explore them. From what I've seen it looks like a lot of open (and empty) world.

Have they shown towns or anything?

It looks dated because it is.
It's running on old hardware, and even if you take something like GTAV on Ps3/360, their forests were pretty pathetic, in terms of the amount of assets they could plaster on screen.

Especially coming off all these other open world games running on Ps4/PC/xbox, which can afford to have so much detail.

Not showing this on NX was a really bad idea, imo.

Art direction can only do so much, it looks bad.

I remember that they did say the E3 presentation would be all about gameplay and nothing about storyline and/or character development.

I think the point is that there's no vast kingdom of Hyrule and it's mostly just wildlands.

I can't stop watching this. It's so immersive.

I think we might be seeing one of the greatest games of all times unfold in front of us right now, if not, THE greatest of all time.

It definitely has that potential.

I didn't get around to it, but I did consider making a thread about whether this gen had produced anyone's FAVOURITE Game of all Time yet. My favourite is still Super Mario Galaxy, even though I'd concede that Galaxy 2 is the better game.

This is one of the few games so far this gen that has that potential for me personally, looking forward to No Man's Sky too.

I'm really honestly not sure what you wanted.
