The stuttering on TV is a lot worse than I expected.
Still day 1 though.

Yes you can swim (but I don't know about diving underwater), but if your stamina meter depletes you drown.That's really just dive-jumping though. I think the question is, can we swim underwater (and explore).
So I think the recent preview videos confirm that the final Switch version is downgraded ( Dynamic Lighting ) if compared with the previous (2016) shown Wii U build.

Switch:
Wii U:
Since we have no idea of how the final WiiU version looks like now do you guys think both versions were toned down to enhance performance? Are these effects still there for WiiU?

Me. I had major issues with the lack of difficulty and the item renting system, and as such it's one of my least favorites in the series alongside Skyward Sword.Who could think A Link Between Worlds was dissapointing?!? o.o

Shit that is awful
20-25 fps for long periods...
They could release a day one patch i guess..
Almost makes me want to play portable only..
I'm a Zelda newbie, so I don't know if its lack of discussion is because it's a given or because it's not a thing in Zelda games or if it's just unknown, but: will BOTW have side quests? Like, not the shrines, challenges or minigames. Will it have little optional side stories like those in games such as Witcher 3 (not that I'm expecting THAT level of narrative)?
Gamekult won't post a preview but the guy reviewing the game did a short stream where he gave his impressions, from what l remember:
-the game is "very hard", not Dark Souls hard but between the first Zelda and AoL
-says the world is chock full of secrets and things to do
-he finds the game pretty despite some obvious technical flaws, water effects are particularly great
-far more RPG elements than recent Zelda games
-compared to Horizon he likes BotW's approach better, says it's obviously not as spectacular but thinks the traversal and experimentation based gameplay is more fun
-he describes it as a mix between classic Zelda, modern open world RPGs and a "pimped out" (his own words) Shadow of the Colossus
-about flaws, he had troubles getting used to the controls at first especially playing on the Switch but the Pro controller helped, also mentioned some physics based puzzle that didn't feel precise enough for his taste
Overall seems pretty positive.

Watching Gamespot live stream right (Is over) now. According to them, Zelda feels like revolution in the open world genre. And Horizon next to Zelda looks bland. Shots fired everywhere.
C'mon now. It's a revolution for Zelda, but not something new. These previews are going craazy man.
It's really not.
It's the worst overall design in a Zelda game. Incredible highs incredible lows. 50 hour game and half of them are bad.

Still reading through all this, and I know embargos, but I read a preview that said all shrines they found so far was solved with the same items they got at the start of the game. That scares me, one of the best part of zelda is getting new items as the game goes on that adds variety and introduces new concepts at a steady pace. So those playing, should I be scared or not?
I dont agree. Zelda is a shakeup of Zelda, but it really isnt new for the open world genre.I think we've all known for a while that Horizon, while quite excellent, builds upon the mold of previous open world games and does it very well. Zelda is the first true shakeup in the formula in many years. It's quite okay. We can have both!
Horizon being so good, I wondered if Zelda releasing after it would suffer in reviews. Today I wonder if it's not the other way around, and if it was not better for Horizon to release earlier.Watching Gamespot live stream right (Is over) now.

Usually Zelda games bring their A-game towards the end. I hope this trend continues.
The forum with the most traffic on GameSpot is System Wars.Around what point do they say that? Just curious

That said, nothing wrong with that at all.

Do you pick up RPG-like side quests from villagers in this game? I saw images of an adventure log in the menu that looks like it's for tracking side quests, but I haven't heard any mention of the quests in this game.
There aren't that many open world games with this focus on physics based, systems driven gameplay and level of polish.
Journalist from Gamekult said on live that, strangely, most of the framerate problems were tied to the Plateau (the first area) and weren't as present in other areas.
So you very well could be right, but you haven't played it so you can't know for sure. And a lot of reviewers, including Kotaku's own Jason Schreier in this thread, have said a lot of excitement stems from things they haven't shown the public at all yet. There's a mechanic in this very thread that was spoiled that none of us had ever seen before. They could be all caught up in the zeitgeist, but I think people playing the game would be better equipped to comment on if it's a revolution than someone who hasn't played it

That's... odd, actually.Journalist from Gamekult said on live that, strangely, most of the framerate problems were tied to the Plateau (the first area) and weren't as present in other areas.
Except this isnt true. Usually the ending is the part that is rushed and full of padding
Have you played it? No offense, I trust the opinions of folks who have played the games over people who know as much about the game as I do.

Just Cause says hi. The mechanics have a little bit of everything: Monster Hunter, Skyrim etc. It looks amazing all together, but I wouldn't say it's a "revolution" of the open world genre.
Thats really weird
