New Zelda Wind Waker HD videos

I saw a tad of slowdown when Link leaps to the rock outcropping over the water in Outset... might've saw a bit of slowdown during the Moblin fight on Dragon Roost... and I saw what looked like slowdown during the kraken fight, although that might've been the hit-stun pause when the bombs connected. And I suppose it's possible some slowdown is really just a hitch in how the video uploaded/encoded to YouTube?
 
I didn't really notice any slowdown for some reason. You sure the hit-freeze isn't causing this to be perceived as stuttering?
 
Outset Island sounds even better! Really like the flute! One of my favorite songs from the game is updated yay!
 
Nah, Tathanen's suggestion "I coveted that bloom, I suppose," has to be the OT subtitle. It's just too perfect. Best line in the game, remastered in HD!

It will be many years before we'll ever know but it would be interesting to know if they removed all the old junk files to keep the size to a minimum.
 

Shouldn't the player be passed the "update the music" line?

So sites have begun receiving their review copies already and apparently the embargo is pretty open, with barely any restrictions on reviews or posting content. Review copies came with this image which confirms bigger wallet at the start from 200-500. Should be seeing reviews up sometime next week.

That means you're not forced to get the first wallet upgrade anymore!
 
That'll make getting some of the auction items less of a dent in your wallet (also means you could get more of them than you could previously). Nice change overall.



The ocean is so goddamn beautiful in this game now.

Looks GREAT in that intro video. If this is the quality we're getting in these remastered ports, totally worth the above average price.
 
So Nintendo will never release a zelda game based on that footage released before the wii u launched.. Where link was older looking looking next gen-ish?

It will probably look better. However it doesn't matter all that much to me. I honestly care more about the size and complexity of the world. I hope they essentially go with the Ocarina of Time/Twilight Princess art style except just a bit softer and more colorful. Not as soft as Skyward Sword though. I am imagining something like the look of Last Guardian except with Zelda colors.

Expect them to do something completely different.
 
lol In the realm of HD remasters, maybe.
But this thing clearly isn't even close ever reaching the pedestal of a Zero Mission or Resident Evil Cube.

You should forgive the semantic/vocabulary oversight.

Some people still use remake to mean anything that isn't the original game.
 
Sheeesh!

Could they have done ANY less to upgrade the gameplay?

Those "enhancements" are so miniscule they are barely worth mentioning.

Reworking a significant portion of the end game and adding Hero Mode is more than enough for me. Faster traversal is icing on the cake.

I don't know what people really expect.

Is there a specific complaint you had? cause their sales pitch for this from the moment we first heard about it has always been "hd graphics and smoothing over a couple annoying things" and not "major remake."

I know that some franchises had hd collections on ps3 and 360. What were they like beyond looks?

For a full price game (as it is in Europe) one could expect a complete graphical overhaul, an orchestrated soundtrack, and content additions such as new dungeons. It's unfortunate that they cheaped out on the LE when even Pandora's Tower had a steelbook case as well as an art book. Nintendo knows their fans just too well, put Mario or Zelda on the cover and 2mio sales are guaranteed.

Can you mention another HD port making any substantial gameplay enhancement?

No? I thought so. The touch screen inventory management is already huge in itself.

Which HD port is full price though? I see them for EUR 20 or EUR 30. But then they were also not marketed as a major holiday title because there was a constant stream of new titles coming on other platforms, so there was no real need to do so.

Yeah, they could've straight up ported it to Wii U and called it a day.

Instead we've got an improved triforce quest, gyro aiming, constant access to inventory, off-TV play, and other improvements. What else were you expecting?

Do you mean the HD ports that give you 2 or 3 games? Or something like the Metal Gear one which gives you the best games of the entire series including the latest one for 50?

The touch inventory is not huge. They have many ways to minimize inventory switiching wothouth a touch screen.
