Title: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Post by: legofreak on June 16, 2010, 09:33:17 am
Graphics look nice.  Very colorful.  Anyone who says it looks "kiddy" can be reminded the game is mostly aimed at kids.
Trailer click here (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2010-zelda-skyward/101467)

The flying claw thingy looks pretty sweet.

I don't have high expectations gameplay-wise; I get the feeling it's going to be as empty and boring as Twilight Princess.  I like the graphics though.

Graphics look great imo. Some game play looks interesting, like the flying armlet dealy. It won't entice me into buying a Wii though.

I like the new style, I really do, but I can't get over the fact that it has the appearance of being OoT all over again.

Apparently the game won't be a spacious as Twilight Princess so it shouldn't be as empty and the controls should be a lot more fun than the TP Wii's tacked on controls because it's a Gamecube game. The girl in the art is the Skyward Sword. Apparently the sword in the new art, screens, trailers and demos is the Skyward Sword and it turns into the Master Sword. Link lives on the clouds as well.

I think I'm pretty much done with the series.  :-\ I haven't even beaten Twilight Princess.
I was only thinking "half assed" throughout the entire trailer.. It stills looks like a poorly made GameCube game with no consideration for a strong graphic presentation. Even small things like the way his hand grips the sword right in the beginning? I understand they want to show gameplay, but just clean that !@#$% up and make a quick animation for the trailer. To me, the colors are distracting and don't work in harmony with one another. Wind Waker is probably my favorite Zelda game, and I feel like they tried to capture elements of the style.. but it looks like a !@#$% up Twilight Princess. Honestly disappointing.

I think this style is probably the the best fitting 3D style for the Zelda series. And those little graphical hick ups don't matter to me. To me it is more important that the controls actually work well. The interaction is the most important factor to me.

The E3 live demonstration was a big fail in that aspect, but from the hands-on articles I have seen that it works really well. So I need to wait until it arrives, in order to try it out for myself.

At the Nintendo website, in the description of this it sais "A Link to the Future" so maybe this will give us a hint about what the story revolves around. So, I think there is time travel to the future as in Ocarina of Time. And what I think is that Ganon is probably the bad guy in this game. I do hope they don't change a thing when it comes to the graphic and controll.

Youtube does always have bad quality no matter if you are watching in HD. So I guess that the quality of the images are real. They said that this game was going to have better graphics than TP.

EDIT: Here is a video I found on youtube that shows you a bit more of Skyward Sword in action. And as you guys can see, there is no problem at all with the new MotionPlus controller.

Well, I would not make such a bold guess. I think it is an awful idea. Not to mention that it also involves a timeline and there is not a one unifying timeline in the Zelda games.

Looks pretty cool.  I think the feature of pointing the wii remote down as if reaching in your pocket and turning it to select the various items is interesting. It gives it more of a feel like you are reaching into a bag of holding or something for the item.

Yeah, the Master Sword thing is definitely confirmed, I'll scrounge up the source shortly.

As for the timeline, the opinion of the timeline fans is that NoA (who released that statement about there being no timeline) don't know what they're talking about. NoJ and the developers still actively support continuity of some kind, even if they themselves don't know or care what it is.

Quote from: Miyamoto
That mysterious figure in last year's art is the Skyward Sword. People suspected this to be the Master Sword…but spoiler alert, the Skyward Sword becomes the Master Sword. (laughs).

I don't ever count IGN as a source, especially after all of their previous E3 blunders.

Also, it's not entirely uncommon for a sword to "change into another sword" in the Zelda series D:

Even further, that has absolutely nothing to do with continuity in the series. Timeline fans are stupid <_<;;
Title: Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Post by: Mirby on June 21, 2010, 06:59:18 am
Then let's continue to consider this a rumor.

Also, LttP is probably the best example of the sword-turns-into-another-sword, considering that the Master Sword becomes the Tempered Sword, which becomes the Golden Sword...

Post by: Dark-Hylian on June 21, 2010, 07:00:54 am
Personally (and i'm popping in a little late here) I think the game itself "looks" really good as of now. The controls and everything looks fluid, but...

1. The graphics aren't that great, imo. I never much liked the WW style, but it looks like they mishmashed TP and WW graphics. The dark areas aren't dark, and the bright areas are... painful.

2. The game and the controls and their "Ease of Use and the big obnoxious HuD, they look like something you might see in Mario Party Wiix29!!

3. The plot ilooks stale. Practically a TP/OOT/LTTP mixandmashup. Floating cities. Check. Seperate "light" and "evil" worlds. Check. Transportation through both by "Master Sword". Check.

All in all, it looks relatively fun, and no doubt I'll get it. However, in my opinion, Zelda's real time ended with Majora's Mask. WW was kiddy fun, TP was "not zelda like" fun, and MC was altogether too short, (who the hell thought up a multiplayer zelda game for the gameboy!?!?!) and I'm not even going to comment on the two DS games.

Like people have said, trailer to complete project improvements are assured. I think it looks like a fun game, but not whatsoever zelda like in comparison to anything before it.

Yeah yeah, insert yelling mob here about how it's too early to make any judgements.

Post by: Zaeranos on June 21, 2010, 07:14:08 am
Well, in all fairness I will keep an open mind about the Skyward Sword turning into the Master Sword. But I also recognize that what they gave is still vague about it. They never really explained what the Skyward Sword is. And "turn into" can be read like "reforged by a blacksmith" or "the sword gets thrusted into a pedestal in the end. The pedestal that we know as the Master Sword pedestal".

Dark Hylian: What is the definition of "Zelda-like" to you. Because in my opinion Skyward Sword appears to be really Zelda-like. With the graphics I think they finally nailed the look as it was set by ALttP and OOT. From the same source that Nabeshin gave, it was said that the HUD with Wiimote on it was only for the E3 to make things clear.

But I really want to know what makes a Zelda game "Zelda-like".

This is probably the truest quote about the graphics :P

Seriously, WW was nice looking and all, but it only made the world true to the legacy of LTTP. The NPC's weren't even close to decent. This is definitely an improvement on what they had started with.

Also, Dark-Hylian-

Zelda doesn't need to break the patterns that make it "zelda". That's like taking exploration out of Metroid, or removing platforming from Mario. It would ruin it.

People still calling this WW style shading? WW used hard cell shading... This uses a shading ramp... Also, it appears to be using shaders on the world geometry to emulate brush strokes to emphasize a painterly approach to the style... I think it's absolutely gorgeous!

Post by: Antidote on June 23, 2010, 06:58:48 am
I'm not a fan of the WW style, however that is not what I thought of when I saw the video. I immediately had flash backs of when i was 7 years old playing LTTP for the first time. I sent chills down my spine. Sure some things look corny, but that's part the series' charm.


EDIT:
Also why do people dislike TP so much? I thought it was more fun to play than WW considering I got so freaking bored with WW within minutes while I can sit and play TP for hours without getting bored.
Title: Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Post by: Zaeranos on June 23, 2010, 08:22:39 am
I think people dislike TP for the similar reasons as you dislike WW. I like the both of them. I can spend hours playing all the Zelda games released by Nintendo. Yes that includes the DS games also. I think every game in the Zelda series is still better than 90% of the other games out there. And that is why I am really certain I'll end up buying Skyward Sword also.
Title: Re: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Post by: Mamoruanime on June 23, 2010, 08:52:35 am
I didn't mind TP... The beginning was boring as !@#$% though, and the repetition annoyed me.
Same issue with WW really; got bored with the repetition of finding maps.

Still like both games though... Just not as much as I would if they had simply not included the annoying filler and added more real content.

Apparently the area in the demo isn't going to be in the full game. I had my thoughts about whether it would be in or not. I'm sure there would be a similar-styled area though.

Yes, and Nintendo has said that it has been enough. They want to reduce the Mario Franchise back to a couple of core games, with platforming being the most prominent. That is why all the various sports games are bundled into a single game. And has Mario Party dropped the Mario franchise and continues withe Mii's in Wii Party.

This is so wrong on so many levels. And not only because it is a team from Sony that made Ico.

I honestly think they'd do a better job than Nintendo at this point. I don't really like what I'm seeing of Skyward Sword so far, and I did enjoy Ico and Shadow of the Collosus very much and always thought a Zelda game with that same sense of darkness would be neat.

There's a whole slew of non-platforming Mario games already. XD
Yes, and Nintendo has said that it has been enough. They want to reduce the Mario Franchise back to a couple of core games, with platforming being the most prominent. That is why all the various sports games are bundled into a single game. And has Mario Party dropped the Mario franchise and continues withe Mii's in Wii Party.
I wasn't talking specifically Mario Party. I was also talking about other mutliplayer Mario games like Mario Kart and stuff. I was only joking around as well.

@Breedlove: Still a part of sony. And don't get me wrong, Ico and SOTC are all great games, but they're not even close to Zelda. for one Zelda has NPC's in it, not 3 people. Also they would fudge up the story, too. Cuz' there wouldn't be one. XD

'Twas originally a stupid comment on youtube. There's loads of them. For example:
"Wind Waker was my first and favorite Zelda game. I sucked at first, going to youtube every 2 seconds cuz I got stuck often and also cuz I sucked at it. But now I'm awesome at Zelda games, lol. But man I had soo many memories wit Wind Waker, and now after a year since I beat it. I'm now on my second playthrough. Zelda will prolly be in my heart for the rest of my life because of all the memories I had wit it."

1. they made a ocarina of time in gcn graphics

YES

2. then hey came up with windwaker
3. people said: to kiddy D;
4. Tp was adultish graphic on the wind waker engine
5. too adultish D;
6. Skyward = TP with wind waker shader reactivated ;D


thats what i think they thought


agreed.  lol when i saw it for the first time i felt sorry for mr.M, he had like a tech. problem on stage.  I might be able to get this game once I learn more about it.  Dunno if im getting other m, still thinking about it.
but i think its the right style for zelda...  in the dark areas dark ( scorpion ) and in the light its cartoonish but not too much

My god the journalist still keep asking about timeline. The worst part is that Eiji Aonuma answers it with that Skyward Sword is before OOT.

http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=18880

Ah well, I still think there is no timeline. Just enjoy each game on its own and don't break your head over any timeline.

There WAS a timeline at one point, but it was before OoT soo... a bit outdated now... lessee if I can find the link (no pun intended).
Quote from: Taiyo
Closest things I found with a quick google search...

http://gannon-banned.com/#timeline

And to try to end this timeline discussion, if we go by Word of God then the facts about the timeline assumind they haven't retconned things yet would be:

MC->FS->FSA->the rest

OoT->Zelda 1->AoL->LttP->LA

OoT->MM->TP
      ->WW->PH->ST

SS->OoT

OoA<->OoS

Everything else (unless I'm forgetting something) is just speculation/fanon. If you don't care about the timeline, fine, don't care, just don't complain about those who do and enjoy discussing it (@ no one specificly).

Superplay: How do the Zelda games timelines link together? Is there any connection between the different games, or do you take tell us a new Zelda story each time?

Shigeru Miyamoto: For every Zelda game we tell a new story, but we actually have an enormous document that explains how the game relates to the others, and bind them together. But to be honest, they are not that important to us. We care more about developing the game system... give the player new challenges for every chapter that is born.

Superplay: Will the story always come 2nd when you develop games?

Shigeru Miyamoto: The most important thing for me, is that the player get sucked into the game. I want the games to be easy to understand, and that the people appreciate the games content, its core. I will never deny the importance of a great story, but the plot should never get that important that it becomes unclear.

Yeah, this was right around the same time that OoT came out, so it's a bit outdated. Seeing as there's been 12 or so Zelda games since then.
