Namco should really consider getting their Soul Calibur team to make a Zelda fighter.

well Aounuma said they are going to clean up the animations before final release.

Animations seem on par with other 3d zeldas to me. Nothing bothering me there.

I was reponding to the guy claiming that Wind Waker looked better than the original demo. I actually kind of agree, as WW had an awesome visual style. However, technically, the demo was ahead. Even with improved animation, the demo will likely remain ahead simply due to a higher framerate and more detailed assets. I hope they clean up the animation, as I must admit, the new Zelda has me VERY excited. The atmosphere and sense of scale looks killer and an actual orchestrated soundtrack REALLY excites me. Music is very important to me.

video of the Spaceworld 2000 Zelda demo

Got links to any other Gamecube demos? I'd really like to get my hands on the Wave Race FMV, first Metroid footage, Mario 128, etc. When I searched on IGN the links to the videos were dead.

5-6 months leaves a lot of time to address various issues.

I found the Spaceworld Zelda to be quite hideous.

The Spaceworld demo doesn't have any bump mapping or anything interesting technically. It does have some shitty harsh lighting and shading.

Everytime I look at this shot my eyes zoom straight to Epona's polygonal arse. It bothers me.

:lol

Thanks for forever ruining that shot

Awesome job. Now the only imperfection is the right side of Link's saddle...

I like the ZTP over the Demo 2000! It's has the art, styles and everything else.
I'm a sucker for graphic whores.

 

[jett]

Wind Waker looks better than both of them.

 

[mr2mike]

I'd say SpaceWorld and Twilight look about even technically, but Twilight >>>>>>> spaceworld as far as art goes.

Err, in regards to pre-system tech demos, Sony was the only company that did NOT lie. MS and Nintendo's system demos were never truly matched on the respective consoles (ESPECIALLY MS). Sony's were. They were COMPLETELY accurate and have been outdone with real software. Sony's PSP demos were also accurate. Who's to say that most of their PS3 demos won't be? We'll have to wait and see...

how so? To me, Nintendo's demos were pretty accurate with Gamecube. Luigi was matched by Luigi's Mansion. Star Wars was matched by Rogue Leader/Rebel Strike, Zelda, as shown wasn't exactly matched, but games like TP and RE4 are certainly in the same league. Meowth's Party used what looked like N64 Pokemon models, so that wasn't a stretch. The only that wasn't spot on with a realtime game were Metroid and WaveRace, which IIRC nintendo admitted were prerendered FMV soon after they were released.
