I think by "everything" they mean, everyone will do the same things in order to proceed or something. Theres certain rules that only allow certains ways to carry on.

Halo 6 for Scorpio's launch then? (Mario > Mario > Halo > Zelda > Zelda > Halo)
Man...that'd be sweet as hell if it was that good.
Wonder what'd come next?

Someone ought to make an open air hero brawler.
you can listen for yourself but it was stated by someone who beat the game and wasn't challenged by the other person who also beat the game and enjoyed it more. again it was with the context that it was being compared to Zelda, a game that offers much more freedom.
for the climbing walls thing specifically he mentions that there's a sort of yellow indicator or something dictating what part you can climb on. may not be remembering exactly what was said.
I'd say Ninja Gaiden Black's about the closest to that idea.

He did say that, when its Zelda you dont have to climb a shiny ladder or something. Thats what scripted mean, not neccesarily a qte or cinematic or no control.
Just doing something the way the game tells you is the only way to do it.
Been getting that vibe internally my self. I caught myself trying to explain to my 90 daughter how important this Zelda might be for video games on the whole, comparing it potentially to Mario 64, lol.

Right, it's a more conventional open world in that regard.
an argument doesnt need to be made. that is a dumpster opinion.
exactly, you were just making their claim out to be nonsense

The fact that it wasn't made exclusively for Switch hardware tarnishes that opinion...in my opinion.

I took what was said at face value — which would encompass the game as a whole, not specific aspects of it.
I disagree.

They should have gone all the way and gotten the folks at Studio Ghibli to be in charge of the art direction.

I've been feeling that it seems like a Ghibli film since its reveal. That feeling has only gotten stronger as more has been revealed. Mainly Princess Mononoke.

Whether these are completely objectively or slightly sensational, I fucking love these quotes.

And waste their own art designers? Seriously, the NPC designs across the board are some of the best around for an open world game.

I would advice all of you to skip reading the Edge review for now.
Not because it really spoils all that much, but because I'm now going to have trouble sleeping during the next five days.

That good? I've avoided even coming close.
The individual Korok don't seem too, though that's understandable. Aside from that, yeah. If the Old Man is who we think he is (not the most shocking twist) then he has a name too.
...Jesus, that's awful.
Ah yea, I guess they count. I was referring to the villagers, completely forgot about those guys. Guess it's not that surprising though, since they're just there to offer you collectibles, and since there is a large, large number of them.

The types of things they say in the review are not what I thought I'd read about another Zelda game after OoT. Or another video game, period, for that matter.
They probably went through the trouble of adjusting settings so it came out right. Colors also look very good too.

Every NPC has a name, most every NPC has a life and Schedules like Betheda and Ultima games. NPCs react to the world in a natural way (and seem to animate pretty nicely compared to a Bethesda game's horrid Jank) and not all will be fighting. In one video, there was a couple on the road being attacked by Bokoblins in a video, while one was fighting off the enemy, the other (who was his wife) was being chased by another.

Wow.. I'll read the reviews on thursday morning. Not really any wait at that point. But DAMN
The Bouncer was great, fight me.
Yea I recall seeing that. Anyways, them all having names and a lot of them having their own lives/schedules is a great addition to being able to speak to all of them.
Reading the review, what they've described of the story reminds me of both Majora's Mask and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Not that I expect the story of this game to be on the same caliber as the latter, but for a video game, it sounds pretty good.

Man watched some of the videos and I am hype. Hopefully I can snag a Switch at a midnight launch.

If there's one thing I'm looking forward to about Breath of the Wild, it's that it'll probably end the years of creepy weirdo internet armchair psychologists trying to psychoanalyze Aonuma and other Nintendo employees and ranting about how Zelda isn't supposed to have puzzles or talking and only the first game is good
Highly compressed screenshots & videos are probably coloring your perception here.
OrbitalBeard
Member
But even the first game has puzzles! Anyone who actually thinks puzzles have no place in Zelda is nuts.
Meh, people will never let OoT go. But I suppose this game is our best chance of it being "dethroned" where the majority is concerned.

Or how nintendo doesn't know how to make zelda anymore and they should let capcom make it again, because their games were better, when the reality is that the director of the zelda capcom games is directing breath of the wild. Or how koizumi is shackled by miyamoto and he should be the one handling zelda and not mario at all. Because of course they were all forced to do these things
