Smash and 2D mario is the only games they have with low res textures.
SImple geometry =//= low res
People said it looked exactly like 3D land and downplayed it graphics. Everyone turned around and saw how beautiful it was a month before release when the first gameplay movies started to show up.
Zelda II:
Alternatively, world map art of Hyrule (based on both Zelda I and Zelda II):
It does seem to be taking quite a bit of inspiration from the older games.
You can't be serious. xD

Not sure how people can judge the IQ from off-screen footage. Yes the frame-rate looked low in parts, but the animations and lighting really stood out.
The jerkyness wasn't frame-rate, it appeared to be jerky because of the gyro. Looked like they needed to add some 'easing' to the aiming. It should be stick-aim with finite adjustment using gyro, like OOT3D. You'll notice that when they set the beacon, the animation on it being set ran fine.
I can deal with slightly lower LOD when looking through a telescope or whatever.
Looks awesome IMO.
As always, the zelda cycle
Always relevant. Never more so after looking at this thread.
That was extremely impressive. I can't wait until next year.
I just saw video footage of Twilight Princess' Hyrule Field, and yeah the terrain design is night and day compared to it. They're not even in the same universe. Jury's still out on the amount of enemies you'll encounter, but it's far more complex than TP's flat stretches of land.

Xenoblade son.
I love these threads sometimes because it shows who here is outlandishly moronic. Anyone comparing it to the graphics output by 8 year old systems let alone 16 year old systems (come on now...) is frankly dumb. Really, really dumb.
The only stigma Nintendo has around graphics is now generated by people like you. You perpetuate it. No-one else.
Gaming forum hyperbole I guess. Mixed with salt.

Camera movement in 30fps games is always a bit janky
Imagine daily events like pokemon
Wasn't that complaint more about the choice in style and not really about any graphical shortcomings per se?
Some people genuinely thought they were rehashing 3D Land graphics, which was shown to be utter nonsense when the first trailer with the big band music dropped.
You're right that the choice of style helped people to think that at the time though.

I'm not even going to bother arguing with you, there's no point. As I said gameplay looks interesting, visuals less so I hope they sort that out by launch, it's not exactly a controversial stance.Yatōkiri_Kilgharrah;141968614 said:

This thread is an exact replay of the first 3D World reveal. The texture issues, the sparseness complaints...
Nope people in the conference thread actually thought it was a 3DS game.

No they were moaning about the graphics till we saw this

People moan less about nintendo gams when they get scripted trailers and nice scene cuts to fancy music.
Nintendo prefers to casually play a Zelda game on the couch like a real horse should.

The world just looks generic right now.....okay wrong word, I guess plain. I dunno it just isn't captivating to me right now and its not necssarily due to lack of details.
I mean Shadow of the Colossus has a very captivating overworld and look at it:
The bigger problem and one that may not be addressed is the slo-mow shooting. Please re think it.
I heard the horse is controlled like it is in SoTC and I'm hoping you can do some of the cool advanced things you can do in SoTC like this:
oooohhh I want to pet Epona

Im quite anal about having people saying what they mean.
People on this forum just dont communicate. Double speak and schadenfreude 24/7

I think actually being able to hear the game's overworld would add to that sense of liveliness. Along with getting jumped by Mecha Crabs, chasing insects, picking fruit. What have you.

Look a typical fantasy setting in a Zelda-esque way. Wasn't you to expect an HD DQ in the vein of DQVIII? It would look exactly like that, the style is very similar.

These sorts of threads just make you realise that there some opinions that are just so malformed they're borderline wrong.
You're partly right, but in general people were acting like the game would be among the most uninspiring things nintendo would ever release.
This was the reveal thread at E3. Some quotes from the first page, there are many more and it's the same general tone:

This thread is made a month before release (november 2013), even after they showed a new trailer:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=719821
The first replies:
I think the general agreement is after release is 3D World was a great game, both in gameplay and visually.
Why?
I think it looks wonderfully ambitious. I just hope they don't overload it with trinkets and challenges like so many other open world games (I'm looking at you, Ubisoft). I'd prefer an atmospheric and empty world and I really don't care if I have to ride Epona for ten minutes without any NPCs or enemies on the way, as long as I can enjoy the sight-seeing.

you better look at the wiiu zelda reveal
and this is off screen gameplay that always look better
Exactly, and yet that's why some people are bitching about it, because they tried to be honest and showed it in its current state.
Wut? lol.

The burdon of proof is on you, you made the claim it was "heavily downgraded" .

They created this world and I see that there is a region called Calaita to the west.
I wonder if Calaita is as big as Hyrule and it's a separate continent or something with it's own towns and whatnot.
I wonder if Nintendo has forgotten it existed. It's nice to know that they put ideas for future territories if they decide to eventually want to go outside of Hyrule and explore something entirely else, I suppose they did this with Majora's Mask, but I'm thinking maybe like a foreign kingdom and whatnot.

Of course it does, its a carefully chosen screen, direct feed, as opposed to unplanned live offscreen gameplay
Jesus.

Asking as someone who's never understood the obsession with open worlds, even after playing many open world games, and who's playing Dragon Age Inquisition right now, could somebody explain this obsession to me? What you do in these games is this: you mark a spot on the map or mark an active quest and then you push the stick towards the marker. After the 20th time it gets boring. What does it add to the game if you make the world huge and getting to the spot takes 10 minutes instead of 2? What is the appeal of shoehorning it into every type of game? All it does is eat time. Wouldn't you want a more focused experience from Zelda? Focus on puzzles, dungeons, towns? Those are the things I have always played and loved Zelda for, not for pushing the analog sticks towards the marked spot on the map for ten minutes. :/

The last Zelda U footage also wasn't off screen but rather a direct feed
Have you considered the possibility the initial reveal looks better is because we aren't looking at a screen of a screen like the most recent footage.

that screen is just a cap from the video..the scenery on the video looked amazing.vivid full of details even smoke,none of that is on the gameplay video
i hope they will deliver but the difference is noticeable
off screen videos tend to hide flaws

Love it so much it made me cry. Granted I am a huge zelda fan.
Reading many comments here about how it is lifeless and bad graphics, just like the comments 3DW got.
I'm gonna wait till the thing is released.

I just got home from work.
HOLY FUCK SOMEONE HOLD ME THAT LOOKS INCREDIBLE
HOLY FUCK SOMEONE HOLD ME THAT LOOKS INCREDIBLE
This. WTF are some guys talking about here. A directed, scripted, with carefully positioned cameras direct feed footage, ofc it looks better than off screen footage of actual gameplay a year from release.
I actually liked this last one better because i saw what the actual gameplay will look like.
I also feel like an idiot writing a wall of text in the last page only to have to respond to the same arguments of people clearly uneducated of how production works.
Because it looks like they're finally taking a much more non linear approach which has been asked for a few generations now.
The world looks impressive in the same way that Xenoblades is in that it has alot of depth in it's height, rather than just being endless flat lands.
Dense looking forests filled with wild life, enemies and vegetation that you can pick and eat.
In a month where we've had grass-gate, very impressive looking grass.
And the usual stuff you get in a Zelda game. Great art style, great animation. It's impressive. I feel like people are being nit picky.
The last zelda game on Wii, skyward sword did exactly that and got heavy Criticized from taking away the sense of discovery the early zelda games had (mainly zelda 1/2/3) where you could go everywhere on the map (using the right items).
Search for "open world zelda" on gaf and it gets asked for in dozens of threads, mainly because the discovery/exploration part of zelda has lacked a bit.
