So that will have been 6 years since the last one. This better be a fucking awesome game. I'm expecting a brand new map etc at this point, rather than the direct sequel using a variation of the same map we were originally led to believe it would be.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
This morning's been full of disappointing news sigh.

No problem. Take your time with those dungeons, and we will have the best zelda ever, and also best game of 2023 easily.

I bought a Wii U in 2015 cause I wanted it ready for when BOTW1 came out. All those delays only for it to finally get gimped so it would have parity with the Switch version. I was so pissed I told myself I wouldnt buy a Switch until BOTW2 was on the shelves. I still dont have a Switch and here we are. Wow.

Not surprised at all, I still think the original content reveal and announcement came a bit too early.

I'm laughing but only because we all knew this was going to happen.
Whatever, game will release when it's ready and I'm sure it'll be a banger.

Just give them time to add graces, greatswords, GannonRot and a new area called Arum Fazula.

well maybe you'll luck out and you'll get BOTW2 with the Switch 2 or Switch Pro

That's barely even a delay by Zelda standards. It's coming out early.

I had literally zero doubts this was going to be delayed. Good that they didn't wait until fall to announce it.

lol How does it take 6 years to make a direct sequel? It is not even a complete reboot like BOTW. IIRC, they mentioned how they would be reusing the same map as BOTW in addition to adding new areas.
So why has it taken a year longer than Horizon which itself took a 5 fucking years?
What is going on with these studios?
P.S Dont want to toot my own horn, but I brought this up in the Initiative thread. This is not a Microsoft problem. EVERYONE is struggling to put AAA games out. It's almost like they forgot to scale up from last gen.

Nintendo literally doesn't give a fuck about GOTY awards other than for marketing purposes. IF BOTW2 won only a handful of them, they slap it in a video and call it a day. GOTY warring is silly. 2022 just has a crowded release schedule, so they are giving it some space for polish. And perhaps a new hardware revision release.

Maybe because they're not making the same game and after everyone and their mothers said this is the best Zelda game ever made now they have to make the new best Zelda game ever made

This is the first time ive seen this take, but it makes a lot of sense. I always thought Switch was more powerful despite the difference in tflops because it was on a new generation of GPU.
But I have always wondered why the game was downgraded from the initial reveal despite it releasing on new hardware that was supposedly more powerful.
The original Wii U Zelda demo looked stunning too. It was realtime and you could move the camera around. I get that it was an indoors demo compared to the open world BOTW but the difference is generational.

Lol who did not see this coming, most likely a fall 23 game, really hope they added some real dungeons this time, dont know how nintendo gets away with releasing so few games, i guess as they make so much profit on hardware, they have no need to.
