New Zelda Wind Waker HD videos

Im all for Sunshine HD especially if they fix the camera controls. I played the hell out of the game when it came out but I tried going back to it a couple weeks ago and the camera controls are annoying the hell out of me.

I said wow.


It's not really weird; even the tone of the colors is all strange now. It's a totally different look and in many people's estimations, not superior. There's a persistent glowing haze that is bloom, obviously, but it just looks like he's in some sort of bizarre malaise of light. This looks like MY-FIRST-BLOOM amateur hour. Seriously I've never in my life seen a worse use of bloom. That people think it's attractive doesn't surprise me, people like anything, but if this is good use of bloom, I'd hate to know what bad use is.

I mean obviously it's a higher resolution and there are other improvements, but I'd honestly take the originals look overall.

Can you tell me what about the new look you don't like in these pics? The HD version looks gorgeous.
 
Windfall Island still looks like a radioactive mess. Everything else though, pretty not bad.

I have the feeling that when people get this in their hands and see it on a TV in front of them it'll look a whole lot better. Who knows, maybe it'll still look like a radioactive mess. I think it looks cool tho :)
 
At around :25 I never remember the storm clouds gathering like that in the original Windwaker, I remember the clouds kind of just puffing out rather than actually looking like the storm was centering. Small tweak but man it makes it look alot more natural.

Edit: Yup, they just puff up in the original. @ around :10 seconds in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xobIRMpzdc

Not just a small tweak; they've redone the entire sky for this
 
lol! The bloom is a good idea, for reals. Bloom+Toon Link eyes maybe.

Eyes look a bit weird, but I think a hat+bloom+ugly HD logo combo would do. Not as quick and easy to do as something like wonder eyes though.

Oh, the solar panels on Gelato Beach, with the big green caterpillar? That'd be awesome. Sunshine was full of awesome sights that would look amazing in HD.

Also dayum, sunset storm

Has Nintendo of Australia said anything new yet about the limited edition coming out over here? It not coming out here is what's stopping me from getting this at launch and just waiting until it goes on sale.

Nothing, and given neither EB Games nor JB have it up for stock, I doubt it's comming. Last minute announcement maybe, as it's not out for a month, but I doubt it. You could probably import it online. There's sure to be a local distributor doing so. Surprised Dungeon Crawl isn't.
 

I can only imagine how this game would look like with hi-res textures and a new lighting engine like WW employed. And while I enjoy the bloom in WWHD I dont think it fits the Mario universe as well. So I'd cut that part out. Really hope we get some more Gamecube HD remakes alongside new games. And considering the low install base of the GCube it would allow for a new generation of players to experience alot of great titles.

And it would allow for cheap games to be made that have a fan following. I really hope they're also considering Eternal Darkness HD. Let Precursor port it so they earn some cash to then do Shadow of the Eternals lol. (BELIEVE!)
 
I know this is slightly OT, but with this game being downloadable early I think I should ask : does digital on WiiU help load times / performance.

...this actually isn't a horrible idea really.

But I'm also on the mario sunshine hd band wagon.
 
This always happens! That's why you never doubt Nintendo!

Seriously. It blows my mind that people haven't learned to trust Nintendo with art design.

Its the marketing that is always the problem. The pics they chose to release could not have been worse.
 
Nintendoland engine?

From what I understand, Nintendo has a library of code that they use for most of their in-house games. Whenever they figure out a new effect, like the lighting in Nintendoland, they add it and you start seeing it in future games.
