New Zelda images (GC) inside

I still think this screen shows the games graphics the best

Still don't like this style, but that shot of him on the horse looking back is nice. Don't know what kind of in-game situation it's meant to represent if any.

The horse combat should be pretty good actually... I guess I'm looking foreward to it regardless of how it looks.
 
From a technical perspective it doesn't look OUT OF THIS WORLD good. The lighting looks cool, and depth perspective blur is cool. I think what impresses me more is just the art direction. Link looks freaking awesome!

In 2005 I will buy my 4th(!!!!) gamecube game!

i'm not sure what it is. there are just too many ugly little details on that model. the embroidery and stitching and filigree on every surface. the tunic over the chainmail over the leggings. maybe it's because the clothing is stiff and the textures are hazy, but link looks entombed in ugly flourishes. like a tasteless piece of furniture.


you just bitch about every single nintendo thing don't you. Bitch bitch bitch.

edit.. i have a new wallpaper. thanks jiggle. Excited.

i'm shocked by the amount of people downplaying this game's graphics in this thread...

This is GAF. I think it looks amazing! And IT SHOUDL STAY A GC TITLE. Stop the revolution crap.

Never underestimate the power of the N-Goggles!

You know, same could be said for your love for Metal Gear. MGS3 has some pretty ugly textures yet I know you've already declared it the best thing since sliced bread. :p

It's better than sliced bread :P

Just to clarify, I'm not really bitching about the visuals in Zelda (game looks great, there is room for improvement and I firmly believe the game will look significantly better than those screens when it's released, on GC or Revolution, you can quote me on that), I'm just having a horrible case of insomnia today and just messing around.
 
some people complain on the graphics, and still you want this on the revolution?

Also, remember that the GC rarley looks good in screenshots. This game will look great in motion.

I think Link model is perfect. Nintendo nailed it this time.

Love this pic :)
 
The graphics isn't that a big deal for me, but what I really enjoy about the Zelda games are the environments and their inhabitants. Exploring the game world etc.

Zelda has always been about gameplay.

people are such graphic whores on this forum.

DId a little cleaning up to the wallpaper posted earlier.

I always wondered why Nintendo doesn't do this "cleaning up" like every freaking other company. What's worse is that sometimes the images look worse than the real thing! What are they thinking?
 
you people are crazy. ocarina of time is six years old. there have been dozens of games that exceed it in every conceivable way. even if ocarina still occupied some throne -- it doesn't -- this wouldn't be the game to unseat it. we don't know much, but we know enough: the trailer tells us it has mediocre graphics, uses the same old combat system, and wants desperately to remind you of ocarina and better days for nintendo. realda will at best be a nostalgic gloss on ocarina of time. best game ever potential? no way, guys. no way.

well I never take your opinion seriously, because all you do is ripping on Nintendo.

Then you go and praise mediocre games like neo contra. hypocrite.

You need to get a grip on reality. It begs the question as usual- if you hate nintendo and zelda so much why the hell view this thread????

Drohne is on a roll latley with his hate.
 
i do get on little hate rolls. that's observant of you.

but at any rate, i'm not militating against nintendo or zelda, i'm militating against your blinkered gaming worldviews. where the next big nintendo game is by default the best game ever, where nintendo creates more original ip than any other developer, etc. consider it a public service. or a sick jihad. really whichever.

and neo contra is so much better than zelda that i want to scream. bet you haven't played it!

Yeah, I'm sure you've given Neo Contra a fair chance...

Wow, with a single post you managed to change your status in my book from Upper-Tier Intelligent Poster, to Average Nintendo troll. Well done.

I for one don't spend my time hating on a company. I don't play alot of xbox games, but I never go into a halo or xbox thread and bash their games and company. I don't see the point of it.

I really enjoy the multiplayer aspect on halo , and I can understand why so many love it.

As for Sony, I own a PS2 for it's awesome RPGs and Square-Enix support.

Yeah, I'm sure you've given Neo Contra a fair chance...

No I don't buy games that are racking up 5 or 6 in reviews.
 
Drohne, I agree. The Nintendo superfans are obnoxious. But only half as annoying as your jaded ass in every single Nintendo topic whining about their blind loyalty. It's unhealthy, my friend.

Tell me if you've heard this one before:

Know why Neo Contra can't be found in any retailer test drive arcade?

Because you can beat it on your lunch hour!

Talk about warped worldviews. If you seriously believe your own words, get help. Not everyone who you clump together in a generalization believes all that shit.

I don't understand why people have these crusades against fans. I rarely see Nintendo fans invading threads to point out something that's wrong or needs to be changed or is unappealing to the eye, it's usually the other way around. There's nothing wrong with being a fan of anything. It's what makes us all unique, different. Why must that individualism be torn down if it never hurt anyone?

Ah, you're one of those people eh? Sticking to the so-called "heavy hitters" and ignoring and avoiding everything else that doesn't pull in the high scores.

Pretty sad...

agree. Back to topic.

I wonder why Nintendo don't release any screens that reveal the HUD?

I don't have time or money to buy other games than Heavy hitters today. Sorry but that's how it is. I wont buy etc GoldenEYE: RA

It's not sad.

Agreed. Why do the same 5-6 people feel the need to enter every single Nintendo thread and bash the game, the fans, the people who enjoy it?

It's quite sad really.
 
this thread has gone waaaaaay downhill. and i still don't see how someone can say this game's graphics are mediocre. are you f'in kiddin' me?

So you have a limited experience with gaming and your opinion can't be trusted? :D

You haven't been around here very long, have you? Nintendo fans have launched all out assaults on opinions that stray too far from Father Nintendo. It's GAF warfare! Sadly, one of the operatives (drohne) seems to have been taken captive. You may have the upper hand now, but this battle is far from over! We're currently working on a new super weapon capable of detecting and destroying pro-Nintendo opinions all the way from the off topic forum!

Yeah, errr, how about that Zelda?
 
last stupid post, i promise:

oh come on. the average nintendo troll would've called realda a "rehash of" ocarina of time, not a "gloss on!" that's good material!

...although your new estimation of me is really more accurate than the old one, so cheers.
 
I think the enemys look so poly-cheap, because there will be hordes of enemys to kill...so they can't make them too beautiful. I'm sure Zelda's graphics will be fine, Pikmin 2's were too. You can't expect them to make a Morrowind 2, but who does that ?
 
It didn't take too long to tear this pics apart I see. Sometimes I think Nintendo is very much in the right when they maintain their long media blackouts. I think people are asking for too much out of a system with only 24 MB of ram.

Teh textures!!!11

An enemy from a PS2 game has attacked Link! In this latest installment of Zelda, Link must save the world from low resolution textures...for great justice!

Well, to be fair, plenty of developers have already demonstrated extremely impressive texturing and modeling that goes well beyond what this new Zelda has shown. Metroid Prime, Rogue Squadron 3 and Star Fox Adventures, for example, blow this away technically (well, based on the shots and trailer...things may change).

The game still looks great, though.

Well, comparisons with Half Life 2, Doom 3 at al, are quite pointless since as you say they tend to run on much more powerful systems.

Compare to MGS3, Halo 2, RE4 if you want to make a more fair argument...
