I guess Nintendo Wanted to offset the announced delay with some new screens:

If anything these shots make the wait even harder...not easier.

To be honest I wasn't that excited about the new Zelda because for me the series started feeling a little bit long in the tooth with Wind Waker but after seeing these town shots my interest level has risen a little. I don't know why but I did not expect them to have a town with that many people in it.
 
The city looks terrible. Washed out color, thick fog, blurry shadowless NPCs, low-res textures everywhere,e tc...

I can appreciate the atmosphere they're going for, but...

Somehow, thats exactly what I was thinking.
 
Town shots dont look all that great, and god damit, im tired of Z lock combat. Mix it up a little, it just didnt feel right in WW and it looks just as awkward in TP.

I like the coral reef pic, nice use of colours

The art is horrible in some of those pics. And those kids, argh

Ditto
 
Seeing these shots makes me dream of the Zelda my children will be playing 20 years from now.

If for no other reason, *that* is why Nintendo must continue to exist. For my children, and my children's children.

:)
 
The sea shot and forest shots look WOW. When I will see those graphics on my Tv I will say WOW.

But the city looks too imperfect. Too much things you could improve. Maybe it will look OK in-game though ( different perspective).

That snow wolf shot looks bad again...reminds me somehow of ShenMue.
 
The shots look considerably better, and more like what it looks like in motion, when at a more reasonable resolution for a GC game:

True, game companies love to release screens in super high res, i.e. Serious Sam II screens they release are all like 1600x1200... sometimes bigger is not better.
 
You can see Link's using a shield, sword AND lamp in one shot btw.

I don't know if that's been shown before, but I don't recall seeing it anyway.
 
Why the fuck does this game look like ass? Jesus christ. Is it too much to ask for a game to look half-way decent?

And despite me being a huge Zelda fan (I loved Four Sword Adventures) I'm very disappointed at people letting these shitting graphics slide just because it's Zelda.

I don't even...

You think we're letting things slide? I don't...I just...what!

It looks great. For any game on current systems, Zelda or otherwise. We have very different eyes.

I agree with you. The art in this one is brutal...but I guess most people aren't seeing it that way.

lmao.

No.
 
I think all the water stuff in this game is just WOW. I've seen some footage where Link takes a dive in the water and the camera goes underwater and the blurring effects and water effects are so amazing.

I think those town shots are bad. I don't like the atmosphere, it doesn't look like the OoT market at all. The market in OoT was bright and colorful and of course it was also pre-rendered.

The game looks better than some "next gen" games that have been shown so far. Don't go posting Unreal 3 games now because I know you will. I clearly said "some".

...And the majority of the areas were blurry beyond recognition. :P

But I agree that the fog and color choices make the town scene appear bland in a way. Hopefully this is a morning scene so they colors aren't as vibrant as they would be during the day. Wishful thinking on my part though.
 
Like I said in the other thread, it looks really good.

It seems to be establishing a style of its own too, but still "Zelda", which IMO is welcome.

what's with link (and that one dog) been the only characters casting shadows?
Click to expand...

One enemy is too. I guess the framerate suffers if lots of characters on screen cast shadows at once, but when it's only going to be a few they can do it.

Maybe they'll sort that out in the delay. Maybe. Adding shadows doesn't sound like a very Nintendo thing.

As for the town, it looks like a morning mist to me. Of course, that's just what it looks like, I'm sure it's actually fog. I'd have to see it at other times of the day before I'm horrified.
 
The Town looks a bit TLFOish to me :lol Visually not feeeling it right now. As long as it plays good. I bet the lighting is going to be sweet though.

GUYTH THERIOUTHLY THTOP HATING ON ZELDA!!!

...I am seeing some DC-level texture and geometry-work there. I can't help but think that Wind Waker was more impressive on a technical level?
 
Can I just ask, are people actually noticing the screens I posted, or just going on the top ones?

I just want to check before I decide whether half the world has gone insane or not.

Excuse me?

You can play Serious Sam 2 in 1600x1200 or even 2048x1536.

You can't play Zelda, Halo, MGS3, <insert_any_doctored_screen_here> etc. in that res.

I drool over this shot. This is how I've wanted a town in Zelda to look since OoT.

Is that the Triforce repeated 8 times in the floor (Link is standing at the bottom right corner of one of them)?

Ass? Shitting graphics? You don't even think this looks 'half-way decent'?!?!

Do they even have Gamecubes in your insane asylum? To say that the style doesn't meet with your approval might be acceptable, but to brand these graphics as 'ass' is unacceptable. This is some of the best shit your eyeballs have seen on this system.
