I have no sensitivity to frame rates so that wouldn't worry me but textures and assets popping in and out really annoys me

I've been playing gameplay videos on YouTube as background noise, lately. Really great ambience.
No NoA dub has yet surpassed NoE's Xenoblade dub for me.

It will have the most incredible voice acting you've ever heard, but only 5 NPCs in the game.
Honestly though, the vast majority of the dialogue in this game isn't voiced. People, we're going to be fine.
They'll go Drakengard 3 on us (Except it won't be NSFW), have it be based around songs and everything lol

Honestly I am shocked people think this game is ugly... Certainly there are moments of bad textures but I saw a scene where link was running through long flowing grass, there was a reflection of the setting sun on the stems, the swiss like mountains looming all around. I was in awe..Kind of reminded me of when I first played Journey.

It either needs to be good enough to be praised or bad enough to be iconic.
The middle ground is where things get messy lol.
I'm usually fine with both but when I played the Switch demo the frame rate surprisingly annoyed me. A lot more than I would have ever expected. It's encouraging to hear it's since improved and is even better when you are off the Great Plateau.
everyone's playing the Wii U version
NoE has done a dub for this game, just this time they actually localized the voice acting for Europe😅

I don't believe the voice acting is bad. Just becasue a couple of people are saying they don't like the voice acting? Well bad for them I guess.
after hearing what they had in the trailer I don't think it's a stretch

Is the japanese VA well done, at least? From the trailers it really reminded me of Ghibli movies...I don't understand a single word japanese, though, haha.

Below is a video from Wii U E3 build captured by digital foundry, I think it looks great for Wii U, and if you like the look of the game in the below footage, it should be the same or maybe slightly better because it's an old build:

Oh, I'm sure it's pretty bad.
But when you've got people like IGN's Alanah Pearce saying the VO is absolutely terrible, yet she'd rate the game a 10 if she were reviewing it....it's not going to be much of an issue for most people.
Nintendo should've hired Kiefer Sutherland for Link! Get some quality people on that cast list lol.
It's subjective. Some will like it others won't.
I dont understand why they didnt go for a full cartoony look ala wind waker.
They did for some aspects of the game but not others.
Didn't people get pissed when WW was first shown off?

Ooohh, let's play this game.
Zelda: Emma Stone (cause why not) or Emilia Clarke
Goron: John Goodman
Zora: Dakota Fanning
Rito: Jared Leto
Gerudo girl: Mila Kunis
Old Man/ Deku Tree: Liam Neeson
Don't want to derail this thread... I just had to share my thoughts lol.

Maybe they just used their employees to do it. Nintendo's probably not going to spend the money to get better voice actors.
Because this looks better.
How tight can you be, lol.
I was fine with the VA in the trailer. I don't think I'm very hard to please when it comes to VA though. Like when I hear people complain about how horrible certain anime dubs are compared to the Japanese version but it doesn't bother me. I'm sure personally I'll be just fine with the VA.

Soundtrack "spoilers" (if you want to call it that but I'm being careful for the touchy)
Zora's Domain theme is everything I wanted and then some
Yeah but that was a different time. That was right around the start of the whole grimdark era games went through where everything had to be really serious, dark, and gritty. Plus people remembered the Spaceworld demo. Once people actually played WW they loved it. Plus, we're currently in an era of color and more cartoonish palettes. Look at Sunset Overdrive, Rime, The Witness, Overwatch, Journey, Abzu, etc. That would be much more accepted now

You will get NA voice acting with UK subs. Theres no way you are grttin english voices and subs in your language.
But being in europe, why would you want to hear the english mediocre voiceacting, when, from what we have heard of the other european dub, they are all much better.
Like, from your user name maybe you are from Spain. And the spanish dub is top quality. Ive read in a forum that even Gustems, one of the super good voice actors here, is doing the voice of
the main villain, that we think is probably ganon
This game looks incredible but the Wii U version has two of the biggest things I have issues with, bad voice acting and terrible frame rate.
Oh boy.
Edit: I should have phrased that better.
I don't mean the switch has different voice acting, I'm just saying the only problems from previews so far seem to be the VO and the Wii U framerate. And those are two of the biggest turnoffs for me usually. I hope I can look past them.

I disagree. Wind Waker HD looks absolutely stunning, every time I see footage of that I'm blown away. BotW looks nice, but not quite as nice. IMO.

Beyond is the less impressive part? Or the Plateau itself is the less impressive part?
The previewers seemed to be more impressed with beyond the Plateau, which is probably part of the reason Gaffers aren't so high on this game yet (because they're not that far along yet).
You're kidding right? They've hired fairly talented VAs in the past for other franchises.
Beyond the plateau is the impressive part.

The voice acting change on Switch? lool

Okay for those who've experienced the bad voice acting: how does it compare to Star Fox 64?
Yeah that's what I thought.
Yeah that's what I thought.
Thank you for this. Maybe it's the drawback of trying to make everything reachable.
BOTW looks much better than Wind Waker HD. Which was just a bloom cartoon mess. Literally the second I see the grass in BOTW, I know they made the right choice
Good point.
The voices will be the same on both versions.
Cell shading has a remarkable way of making a games artstyle hold up. The OG WW looks better then some games that are half it's age.

I don't think the Plateau area is bad, from the footage, it is a good starting area. It is a matter of opinions.
Hype fading lol.
And The Great Plateu won an E3 all on its own so if that's the least impressive part of the game I'm not worried.
Lol, when ya put it like that...

Yeah the starting area has been pretty much talked to death at this point. I would give impressions outside of that, but obviously that's spoiler territory. But I'll say this, as large as the area is and feels right when you start out, it'll feel like a kid's playpen next to a football field area of play when you return.
me you mean? i haven't been really hyped on the game much at all tbh - i just find VA complaints on Zelda a strange criticism given the history and tone of the series, but maybe my memory is failing me
