Wait, so combining the Ice and Fire Arrows does bonus damage? Neat.
Breath of the Wild is the official subtitle for Zelda U/NX, first gameplay trailer

Stasis?
You freeze an object, hit it to build potential energy, and once it unfreezes, it converts to kinetic energy and the objects shoots away.
The arrow is the direction the object will be launched at.
*edit*
Crap, didn't notice there was another page explaining it already.
Focus on the puddles of water, or how the same flock of birds in the same formation fly across the sky every few minutes, or how nightime is not 'scary' dark.
But this is the quickest you have ever switched items in a Zelda game. What more do you want?

No it's not. Skyward Sword had item swapping in real time. Having the game pausing every time I want to change my arrows is tedious.
Don't get me wrong, which I think you already have, I don't think the current setup is terrible, but that it could be better.
Simply awesome. I think it will take ages for me to finish this game if I will be able to spend so much time having fun around.

It's kinda handicapped by the fact that you have a big inventory full of stuff this time. Can't have anything quicker. Only workaround I see is add quick slot/favorites to the touch screen.

On Wii U, yeah only option would be touchscreen, but we'll have to wait and see if NX can do things differently.

There's no magic solution for an inventory like this
Even scroll wheels aren't much different from hitting left or right on your d-pad.

Yes I got you wrong, but this is one of the things that in my opinion, looks worse on video than while playing.
I've never been a fan of real time weapon changing because of the obvious implications of trying to change a weapon while the enemy is pummeling you. For me a pause is great because it allows you time to think.
Not a wasted shot. Mad skills on display there.
Neat. Not sure how I missed it but that's really cool.

It worked for Skyward Sword because you only ever really fought with your sword and needed items for puzzles or doing a one-time interaction with an enemy. There that "pulling something from your pocket" move was brilliant.
For BotW, you have a wide range of options to combat enemies. Different sword types, two-handed weapons, unique weapons (deku leaf), wooden-weapons, pole-type weapons, projectile weapons, staffs. Do you want to want to finish off that enemy with a claymore or do you want to push back a group of them with a gust of wind from the deku leaf before dealing damage? Do you want to freeze an enemy before firing a bomb arrow or whatever as seen in that video. Having the game slow down or pause is crucial for making a tactical decision like that.

16min of new gameplay from a GX affiliate at gamescom with direct-sound and a really poor camera light setup ...

Nothing different unfortunately.
In the latest Game & Watch for Super Mario 64 DS on Wii U VC Andre said it would be coming "not this weekend, but not too much longer after that"
So probably sometime this week coming up.

He said "very soon" in the last Nintendo Voice Chat, which was like 3 weeks ago?

He better hope he finishes before NX is announced because we'll likely get new footage at that event/in that Direct. If he's lucky, though, it'll just be the same stuff on the plateau to show how it compares across the consoles.
TheMoon
Member
Of course not, what would be different? It's always the same stuff everyone does.
from the last page:

There's still stuff that no one has done yet on video, like climbing the inside of the temple of time to reach that ledge, or completing the stone circle on the snowy mountain to uncover the korok, or looking what's underwater at the entrance of the great plateau.

Ah okay, that stuff. You'd have to get someone into an unlimited demo session who's going for these things specifically, though. So not very likely to happen at this point.
I'm pretty sure you can't dive, in the demo at least.

Wow! Really looking forward to the video.

That new footage is crazy. Dropping bombs and shooting fire arrows to keep you flying

The latter we knew about already, though.

Yeah, when I saw that, me:
Giving yourself more height mid-flight via fire arrows is a cool use.

Oh right, the Aonuma vid was with arrows shot from horseback beforehand, right?

Never seen a draft created from midair but I wasn't smart enough to think of it.

Nice. First time I hear of that piano melody in the beginning. Sounds good.

Those bombs, that plunging attack. I can't get enough.

That looks awesome. The only thing I am starting to worry about is how easy the combat looks. I hope most of these demo vids are purposefully on a lower difficulty just to show off some moves, because if the combat is super easy then what will be the point of different weapons/moves, etc.

It's the very beginning and there are very tough enemies in the demo
Drop Bomb --> Fire Arrow to the Grass to create an updraft ---> gain altitude to stay in the air with the paraglider ---> enemies still have no idea where Link is.
THIS. FUCKING. GAME.
