Super Mario Odyssey Preview Thread (9/20) Three kingdoms highlighted and MORE
- Thread starter Forkball
- Start date
Unlike GoW 2, Odyssey's the GOAT before release!
I think this is the best look we've gotten at that (Major kingdom spoilers!!!)

Just don't like the design. Look very busy. Not a huge deal, just personally not my favorite.

It (I assume) ends at some point.
Holy shit, void levels from Sunshine! Those were my favorites!
Fuuuuck why did I read that?! D:

Or, the alternative, it lasts forever and sucks away your youth to feed itself for eternity.
That'd be a critique.

That lava on the water looked like PS2 texture in the Giantbomb Unfinished video.
I can't stop watching footage...halp
and then it washes away in a glorious spin of water erasing it from your memory.
No you can't. Nobody can.

As long as it doesn't look like pizza...
The Broodals playing such a big role in this games story makes me wonder how much the dev team was inspired by the development of Mario + Rabbids happening pretty much concurrently with Odyssey. Unless its just a total coincidence that two Mario games released on the same platform within months of each other have crude white rabbits with punny names as antagonists.

The game looks like it's gonna be a blast, October needs to hurry the hell up.
I know, right??
As much I love the game, I blame SMG1 and it's space theming for this mindset- there is a reason why it's called the "final frontier", it's usually reserved for the end game in most other things.
Maybe I shouldn't take the hyped-fueled "How can they possibly top this?! :O" sentiment so literally but...calm down folks, there are a bevy of compelling concepts that the mainline Mario platformers haven't touched yet and there is also a whole expanded universe with entertaining ideas and characters that the devs have been ignoring for decades.
Plus, they can ebb and flow between linear SMG/3D World-style platforming and sandbox-y collectathon gameplay to keep things fresh if need be.
I'm %100 positive that they can make another excellent and surprising Mario game after this one. lol

From the metro preview: We assume he must be German, given that countrys prediction for non-stilled water, but the island inhabitants are definitely French
Deepest lore. Im german and dont know if im offended or not...

what if there's hyrule kingdom and it's breath of the wild's hyrule kingdom and you can capture a molduga

Seems like a dynamic res. I think Bubblaine is around 900p, New Donk City from a distance is 720p, and Mount Volbono is somewhere between 900p and 1080p inclusive.

IF we enterain the very subjective and contradictory notion that BotW was a repetitive game, then i have bad news for you.
There will be significant repetition for you with Oddysey then. There are plenty of Moonshines that are got the same way: Ground pound a suspicious spot on the floor, Goomba Towers, telegraphed 8 bit side scrolling sessions or enemy capture to to get a nearby Moonshine. Lot's of these Moonshines fall on the same trivial category as Green Stars in 3D World or solving Deku Puzzles to get seeds.
Finding BotW repetitive and of all things lacking interesting level design i can't imagine what's your opinion of past 3D Zelda games. Specially when most of the praise for Breath came from those 2 aspects you are so down on.
On topic, noteworthy stuff:
- Possesion absorbed many abilities of past games. Easy to notice in Seaside where cappy works like Flood abilities of Sunshine.
- Sunshine Void style levels return it seems.
- Boss fights will not be at Galaxy levels of coolness. On one hand the Mecha Carterpillar and Octopuss are there but every Rabbid fight i' ve seen works like Boom Boom.
- The more complex Moonshines are not as intrincate as the best Galaxy Stars.
- Cap Possession is a cool concept that seems handcuffed in this game. Since the puzzle or challenge to solve is so close nearby that it seems to restrain creative uses of it
And maybe sunshine is in it and you can swim to the bottom of the ocean and the secret door can be opened and in the book is a full version of mario maker 3d
Hopefully the Peach dating part has a face touching minigame.

Exactly. It's entirely up to the individual how repetitive BotW becomes.
It would be amazing if there are 100+ of those in the game.
Anyone have any particular feelings on what's been an almost standardised UI between BOTW and Odyssey?
Stark white and flat text and icons for the HUD
A green ring gauge for breathing under water
Contextual instructions popping up depending on what you've possessed/what you're using
They even use the same button icons which is very neat.
I almost hope they use this for all their games - contextual UI for controls is pretty passive but gets everyone up to speed. Looks incredibly slick.

There's like a bright town in the distance which you travel to. But that doesn't fit the name, forgotten isle sounds like it's for the Tropical Kingdom or whatever it ends up being called.
