Any chance you have seen anything that points to being able to go fishing with a rod?

Spoiler

You fish by hand in this game, no fishing rod. Sorry.

 

[casey_contra]

The speculation I read earlier was that the additional RAM on Switch allowed for less compression of the sounds.

Okay, cool. So like crisper bird chirps, bokoblin grunts and guardian laser vrewwmmms?

 

[Astral Dog]

The speculation I read earlier was that the additional RAM on Switch allowed for less compression of the sounds.

And more sounds happening at the same time i think.

Steps,enemy sounds,fire,wind,rain,etc.

 

[Nanashrew]

Mixture of the extra Switch RAM and Nvidia's audio tools. I remember Nvidia touting them when they announced they would be working with Nintendo on their blog.

 

[Pif]

The guy playing the stream is really bad.

At this pace we will see spoilers next month.

Non story spoiler.

Damn, was really hoping we got a rod. Thanks for the reply

Switch version has a better resolution, better AA and better framerate. That's about as much as you can do in less than a year.

I thought both versions had no AA at all.

 

[Afrodium]

So the Wii U version has the same textures and LOD? Does it have the same colors? Past comparisons showed the Wii U version to be subsist desaturated, but it was unknown if this was a hardware constraint or just the way the game looked at E3.

If it's just resolution and some frame rate dips then I'm sold on the Wii U version.

 

[Gray-Fox]

Does Switch support surround sound or is it stereo only when docked?

The Wii-U version looks very colorful, don't worry.

Really? That was not what I got from the spoiler thread yesterday. Can't enter that thread anymore, though...

The Wii U is 5.1 surround through HDMI. Can't imagine they downgrade that on the Switch?

Same game different framerate and resolutions

 

[VPhys]

Are people really getting the digital version of this game? Doesn't' that kill any possibility of resale.

 

[WordAssassin]

I think the HD ruins it IMO. It's supposed to look like an impressionist painting. I've seen the Dolphin HD in pictures and in motion and it looses it's charm. Sure it looks cleaner and more detailed but that is not what it was supposed to look like.

Yes for some inexplicable reasons the screens I saw had the bokah blurring turned off, which killed the entire look and effect. If Nintendo were to do an HD port I'm sure they'd keep that intact, seeing as their entire reason for texturing/shading/blurring things that way was to make it look like a painting.

This may surprise you but some people buy games and then keep them forever o:

You would actually sell BOTW? Leave.

 

[Pupperbabysassy]

Am I the only person saddened that this or most games get leaked?

Did you just realize digital versions of games exist?

Who resells Nintendo games....

 

[Triforce141]

I think there's a lower draw distance for the Wii U release, though it could be a fog weather effect in the comparison pictures

Does it have the same colors? Past comparisons showed the Wii U version to be subsist desaturated, but it was unknown if this was a hardware constraint or just the way the game looked at E3.

I'm sure it's a hardware constraint, the Wii U is restricted to a limited RGB color range, but the Switch supports full range

If I planned to buy a switch I would get the physical version, but since is on WiiU, who is gonna buy my copy of the WiiU game? In my country everyone is gonna pirate it anyways so I wont be able to resell at all.

 

[Gray-Fox]

ok good. Nice to know Wii U supported it

 

[Nanashrew]

Wii U version is colorful so people shouldn't have to worry about that. The problem was just all captured footage of it previously was often done terribly. Wii U is limited RGB and no one seemed to account for that, even Nintendo's own footage. Switch allows for full and limited RGB and auto so things came out better during recordings making it look colorful and better.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Why would I resell it? Hell, I don't have any interest in reselling any game. I want everything digital.

Really!? So you're saying that there is a chance? Crosses fingers.

I only been once to the spoiler thread, so I don't know exactly what you're talking about. But anyway, no doubt about what I said in spoiler tag earlier.

 

[Kilrogg]

Yes, I have heard parts of the and other trailer music

Spoiler

in the end credits music

.

I'm not reading this spoiler. Just tell me if it's a track of its own, or if it's in that title-spoilered track.

 

[Neoweee]

I don't know if the Staff Roll music includes spoiler cues, etc, but goddamn is it beautiful.

 

[marc^o^]

This wait is exhausting.

 

[Kthulhu]

Just add a profile for him. Saves are separate per profile

That's a relief. Are there any ways to transfer saves for when he gets a Switch?

 

[SuperBowser]

Dam. I was so sure I wouldn't purchase the new Switch on launch. But this game genuinely looks amazing in preview videos. Breath of the wild looks like a once in a generation game.

I've probably "spoiled" the first 3-4 hours for myself. But I wouldn't have purchased the game otherwise. The last Zeda I truly enjoyed (and finished) was Wind Waker.

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Who resells Nintendo games....

Me. Love that they hold value. With GCU/Prime I usually break even or make a small profit by selling after beating.

I'm not a collector and rarely ever replay things, especially long games.

 

[Cucurbitacée]

Same here, but it seems to be a constant nowadays, nothing we can do about it.

 

[Kthulhu]

Some people don't care.

I personally would rather save the storage space.

 

[Plum]

That's good to hear. But I ain't listening to that shit, man. I'd have hated it if I heard god-tier end credit music like Mario Galaxy's, TLoU's, Dark Souls', etc before I had completed the games.

 

[Steve McQueen]

Time to leave this thread. Media black-out until friday. See you on the other side guys.

 

[heringer]

Apparently there are already people trying the game on CEMU. It doesn't boot yet as far as I know.

It'll be a bit of a while till they get it running locked in 4K.

AHHHHHHH THE MUSIC

IT'S GOOD.

The Switch version of Zelda has AA? News to me, certainly doesn't look like it from the media I've seen so far.

 

[Jobbs]

Can the 3.5 headphone jack on the switch be accessed while it's docked? I want to use headphones while playing Zelda on my television.

 

[Kthulhu]

Some people replay games.

I do too? How is this related to my response?

 

[Astral Dog]

Wait,people are already discussing the soundtrack here? :-(
time to go i guess,this one can't spoil

Does your TV have a headphone jack? You can use that.

 

[Neoweee]

ABORT ABORT ABORT on even looking at song titles. One was a big spoiler, but even some of the others are spoiler-y with regards to locations. Up until about 10 minutes ago, Titles were at least safe.

But not anymore.

IIRC Yes.

Yep I'm out too, people did not believe me when I said that gaf wasn't safe haha.
