Skyward Sword graphics

I´m a big Zelda fan and when I saw the new Skyward Sword I was kind of dissapointed , they should have done it like Twilight princess and not like a Super mario Galaxy cartoon style , which is great but its mario not Zelda .And the controls look crappy even thought its wii motion plus

yeah, mayby the graphics aren´t the best, but al te rest is awesome

I'll admit at first i was a little disappointedwith them but the more i looked at them the more i started to really like themthem

People want awesome Zelda Epic with Blood, Shadow of the Colossus type Bosses, Big Dungeons, Big Towns, Epic Epic Epic...

and Nintendo gives out Zelda games like Windwaker.

a goodzelda game has to have other qualities than graphics , link to the past is a good example

lol it's neither twilight princess nor mario galaxy... and not wind waker either :P those graphics are still pretty early and you've only seen the "happy" part of the world yet. the art styIe will be the same on the final version, just expect it to look much better. as for the controls, i tried it first hand and can tell you that they're the best implementation of motion controls i've seen yet. i'd link you to the preview i wrote, but last time i did it i was modded, so if you're interested, PM me :DBrunoBRS

i can't PM you because of some stupid HTML error. Could you PM the link to me please?

Hmmmm I'm probably the only one but its the graphics that actually got me interested in this game. Lol I like games with a cartoon look to them so this'll be the 1st zelda game I'll buy.

I remember seeing this video of someone at GT playing Skyward Sword and I really wanted to yell "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG".

Honestly, if thatshow people who review Wii games play Wii games ... :|.

And online deathmatch! Pew, pew, pew!

Watch out TC, this board is FULL of TP haters and WW lovers.

I for one loved both, but GREATLY preferred TP as it is by far the SUPERIOR title, in every way possible. Apparently the original art for Skyward Sword was going to be an upgrade to TP... and they scrapped it.

Oh well, here's hoping the final product looks great.

I was disappointed at first since, well, I expected improved TP graphics. :P
But then I started to appreciate its unique artstyIe after watching the trailers and numerous gameplay videos.
Even though it doesn't look realistic, I still hope Ninty keeps in those small details from TP(tunic getting wet at waist level if you do not fully go underwater, etc).
Oh, and one more thing:
- Games set in fictional worlds with fairies and magic does not have to look realistic. ALttP and WindWaker didn't look realistic, but does that mean those games suck? No.
Why are people so hung up on realism these days? :P

As for the controls, they looked horrible during the E3 conference(tech. difficulties), but they worked perfectly when the audience actually got to play them.
After going Pro in Sports Resort sword fighting, I finally realized that TP's motion controls were crap and using M+ is much more fun than pressing a button.
I can't wait until I spend hours playing with the flying beetle. :D

plus, i love to run with my sword kinda pointing backwards. like in TP when you hold A while running.

oh and check the guy playing the drums instead of playing, after 1:00. i swear i wanted to punch him and say "LET ME PLAY IT"... but noooo, i had to wait a couple hours before i could finally find the nintendo booth and get on the line to play it. thankfully there was this cool guy showing off dragon quest 9, so i got to mess around with the customization. "why does everyone go with super sayan?" was hilarious :lol:

and @Legato - you have to admit, having SotC-like bosses makes any game better :P i've been wanting a zelda game where the bosses have more action and less puzzle for a while...

I´m not saying that if its cartoonish it would suck , but if the game its more realistic the player gets involved in the enviroment , for example Faron Woods , really realistic nice music also, doesn´t wanna make you be there? . So if you play mario galaxy WW, or Syward sword , as beutifull as it looks you dont picture yourslef there.

[QUOTE="Scythes777"] Um thats your opinion. TP did many things wrong that all Zeldas beforehand did right.nintendo-4life

Like?

The only thing I don't like so far is the awkward way Link holds and runs with his sword. I'm sure they'll fix that though.

Wolfman_chopper

Same here. When I first saw the game, I was a bit disappointed but then I started to like the graphics and I now think they fit the game very well.

I liked cell shaded graphics.

What I've seen from screenshots, technically the game looks great, it still needs some polish but there's no doubt Nintendo will deliver in this department.

Artistically, it just plain sucks, Zelda is meant to be realistic, OoT, MM and TP say so. Nintendo must stop doing WW style games and leave that dark era in oblivion.

I like the graphic style. To me it looks more like a true 3d transition of LttP, which to me is the definitive zelda game.

the graphics may look different but they aren't straight windwaker think of it as a bright twilight princess

DaBrainz

Agreed. If anyone back in 93 asked me "How do you think Zelda will look like in 2010/11?", Skyward Sword is almost exactly what I would have had in mind.

Wait, what? o.O

Just because 3 out of 14 games have "realistic" graphics doesn't mean the entire series was meant to be "realistic." Nothing about the Zelda games (dragons, monsters, fairies, magic, humans with elf ears, etc.) was meant to look "realistic." It's been like that since 1986. :|

I really don't like the cartoonish style Nintendo is going along with for Skyward Sword. However, it doesn't ruin the game and I will pick it up anyway, since I'm a big Zelda fan.

Too be honest it rly depends on the tone of the game. Windwaker was supposed to be more funny & lightharted so they gave it a cute artstyle. TP was dark so they gave it a more realistic artstyle. So i think the real argument here should be "What tone would you prefer? Dark or lighthearted?" With each comes its own style. i dont think a lighthearted game would work with a realistic artstyle. When Nintendo released the concept art pic i was had my mind set on a gritty dark zelda, and when they showed the actual game i became slightly dissapointed. If they didnt show that concept pic i wouldnt have cared.

I´m a big Zelda fan and when I saw the new Skyward Sword I was kind of dissapointed , they should have done it like Twilight princess and not like a Super mario Galaxy cartoon style , which is great but its mario not Zelda .And the controls look crappy even thought its wii motion plus

Yeah I was a little surprised that they didn't make a Twilight Princess sequel. I was really hoping they would take us back in Termina.

LOZ Graphic Talk = Old and boring.

Pre-OoT games weren't realistic because there were no hardware to do so. Handhelds aren't capable neither. That just leaves "3d" consoles, so 3 out of 4 say much, not taking into account FSA (2d top-view).

Now by "realistic" I mean the look, the "non-toon" art style, obviously most Zelda elements aren't real by any means.

then don´t comment anything duh
