The more I examine the less I like.
The fog needs to go.
The colors need to be more vibrant.
They need more polys or some kind of mapping to make up for the lack of polys.
The environments need to be more lush. I'm not looking forward to that snow being as hard as the ground beneath it. Remember the snow in Billy Hatcher? That was great.

if these pics were released by some other company every character would have a shadow and the lighting would look much better, maybe the colors would too

and the framerate would be around 15 fps.... just like every other EA title: "oh cool.. that looks sweet... awesome..." <chunk> <chunk> <chunk>
its funny to listen to you all bitch about this.. and bitch about that... when you all know you want to play this game.

Don't forget the grass. 
olimario said:Never forget what a good looking Zelda game looks like on the GameCube
With interesting and well defined NPCs
Great lighting and shadowing to match
A beautiful art direction
lots of things to interact with
a nice scope with no immediate fog
and vibrant colors
NEVER FORGET.
Most beautiful game on GCN bar none. Love the art direction, the little details, the fluid animation, the whole cel-shaded idea.
Never forget!

I always felt that WW looked very nice but empty. Too empty to be beautiful as a whole, imo.

Eh...not really. WW was absolutely fuckin gorgeous at times, but most of the islands were empty rocks. Sure you could cut some grass and throw stones, but every Zelda game has had that.

So, while I think some of you are insane for thinking these screens don't look good, haven't you seen the movies? The game's gorgeous! And I'm talking graphically here of course, art is too subjective (and can be seen just as wel in screens anyway).
You're very confusing people.

I wonder why Nintendo doesn't shelve this for the gamecube and have it ready as the launch title for revolution.
Tell me that wouldn't be a kick ass launch, they'd have more time and extra proceesing muscle to make the game really shine and it would help them get revolution going. If it is already delayed into 2006 it is not that big difference as revolution will probably launch very late 2006 or early 2007.
Zelda and Metroid 3 at launch.

*grins* You gotta point there.
And ironically, I feel a bit of internal controversy myself over TP vs TWW in the area of graphics. I do think TWW has one of the best fusions of art design and graphic capabilities in this generation. To me, it's a Yoshi's Island of 3D games... ten years from now, it'll still look entirely lovely and lose little of its power.
The problem with TP is that the style it wants to use shows many more visible limitations of this generation of hardware. Even the Xbox would show strain (think Fable). Coupled with that, I don't believe that the art style is truly bland... it's just an art style that loses power when stretched across washed-out colors, low res textures, and the dithering-like effect of too much fog.

Bullshit, I'm reaching. Each NPC had a very unique look and personality. Not only that, but they all had a back story and they all evolved as characters as the game went along. If one had a problem, there was a resolution for them at the end. If one needed to be taught a lesson then a lesson was taught.
With OOT and now with TP, all of the characters seem so generic visually and don't seem very different from one another. Wind Waker had VERY interesting npcs.
I agree, that it'll be extremely hard to top how well executed WW's art-direction was ... but hell "give the people the damn traditional fantasy crap they want"
But after playing TP at E3, it just looks so much better in motion ..... Those shots don't even look remotely like the same game.
The NPC's were extremely well defined up close, and riding that horse was so damn buttery-smooth at a locked-in 60fps .... And the cave-dungen was candy but in shots it looks like ass.
I don't think anyone will be dissapointed once it has released.

I see this point at least...but only partly.
You don't see anything interesting in the twilight areas of the game? Midna, those twilight enemies, the way they appear? How about the forest dungeon, some of those background designs are gorgeous, exactly how I'd want a forest dungeon. The glimpses of Zelda we've seen? That coral/water screen from today? The light blazing through the trees onto that...mud/ground creature thing? The lightning flashing across green skys? The boss you joust against? The sewer and the dead knights that flash up?
I love all of those, but don't any of these things appeal to you? I can understand people who don't like an endless field of green and a plain coloured town or think the NPC design is crap and a lot of the enemies too. But TP still has a lot of great things going for it, artwise.
A real mixed bag to my mind.

Wind Waker was a beautiful game that complimented the hardware very well. I think I was a bit spoiled by its art and wonderfully implemented cel-shading. There's no doubt in my mind that Twilight Princess will be a brilliant game and a blast to play, but I just wish they could've done something with those visuals. It hurts to cast my gaze upon them.Sho Nuff said:

Really? I don't remember any of the NPCs in Wind Waker, but I remember a great many from OoT. Wind Waker was a beautiful game, but it had many gameplay faults that kept it below OoT including the extremely low difficulty, low number of dungeons and towns, and repetitive nature of many of the islands.

imo the characters in tWW where funny when you saw them for the first time. Otherwise I'd say that Wind Wakers characters where some of the weakest since Zelda reached 3D...
The most memorable npcs where in Majoras Mask in, my opinion. You could feel that everybody had his own history, which wasn't the case in tWW.
I think (and hope) that TP is a return to form.

Can we at least reserve judgement until the game is actually finished? There are still months to go. Also, until we see it in motion we don't know how unique the townsfolk are. There might be quirky animations that make them stand out more.
All we know at this point are that the pre-alpha textures are slightly muted and the pre-alpha models have some fucked up faces.

In some aspects the game demonstrates that the Flipper is at the same level of a DirectX 7 GPU when you see the images.
Thanks Nintendo for making happyto all the traitors to the Zelda saga that only knew Ocarina of time and cried because Wind Waker hasn´t had the Ocarina of Time style, thanks Nintendo.
