The artstyle is really bad! No surprise at all, this has been the case for Zelda since OoT

*sigh*

At the risk of turning this thread into a screenshot war, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that chances are, you guys haven't played the ps2 in a loooong while.

Saying that SS looks that bad is simply asinine.

For some reason I get the feeling that they are going to release an upgraded version with the Wii U.

Artistic graphics is all about personal preference. No matter how incredible a person A would find SS to be artistically, he can't deny the fact that the game looks extremely dated compared to the rest of the games being released in the same quarter.

SHATT3R3D-GLASS



You speak as if its technical shortcomings damper the ar****. If i find it beautiful, then all the number crunching operations and processing going on behind the scenes are doind its job, regardless of how powerful or complex these operations are.
If it works for me, why should i complain about the lack of something it apparently doesnt need to earn my approval?

Why should i care that its not using Cryengine 3, for example? I already find it visually stimulating as it is and (as i've said before) "what if scenarios" are as useless as wondering what would Mona Lisa look like in a larger canvas.

The screen shots posted don't look anything special, maybe it's the resolution or how they were captured? I think it looks good though.

[QUOTE="meetroid8"]New artdesign looks better every time I see it. This will be one of the better looking games this year no doubt. I can't remember the last time I was able to say that about a Wii game.Thunderdrone

Super Mario Galaxy 2? Muramasa the Demon Blade?


OT: Thunderdrone you're back ;_;.fabz_95

Sup bro? :P

Nothing man, just nice to see you back :). I expect an awesome SS Hype thread from you. I lol'd at Super Zelda Galaxy, there are definitely some similarities, not a bad thing mind you.

[QUOTE="GotNugz"]Looks good for a gamecube game. As much as I love Zelda the franchise needs a reboot withbetter story, voice acting even if link doesnt speak, and the wii is in need of more power.Bread_or_Decide
The Wii single handedly held back EVERY FRANCHISE that Nintendo owns. Not a single game couldn't have been better on better hardware. Really makes you think how games like Super Mario Galaxy were amazing but how much better they would have been without the limited hardware of the Wii.

same could be said about every single ps3 game as well as every single xbox 360 game. They wouldve been totally different games on the PC, so much different that you wouldn't even recognize them.

So obviously, Nintendo has captured you with their art**** But that is just you. They don't push the game forward to show what Wii games are capable of technically, though. So the fact that their graphical coders are bad, is saying a lot about Nintendo's capabilities to create a video game.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"]A game does not need ti be photorealistic to look incredible. Okami and The Wind Waker are among the best looking games of all time, I wonder what you think about them? There is no getting around the fact that Skyward Sword looks like it will be one of the best looking games of this year.meetroid8

Okami looks good artistically. .

What else matters? Games like BF3 can push technical limitations all they want, but as long as there isn't anything interesting to look at they won't look good.

I'm not saying artistic isn't important. But... if you got to school or work, go and show some colleagues or schoolmates these screenshots, ask whether or not they find them to be graphically impressive, then come back and post the answer.

I think you'd be surprised at the results. Specially from adults.

And speaking of adults, stop caring what others think.

Are you telling me that they don't know how to make a Video Game? and yet they have delivered some of the best games this gen (and let me remind you that one got a perfect score and the other got a GOTY award here in GS), in other words, if the game its good, it could look like Pong and it wouldn't matter.

BTW, i know you are just trolling, i just was in the mod to answer.

Looks pretty, actually, by Wii standards.

I might look pass the motion sensing controls (which i despise), suck it up and pick this up along with a Wii, maybe.

I just love the Zelda series.

I don't think anyone in this thread has played a PS2 game recently. Games never look as good as you remember them looking. This looks way better than a PS2 game. I think it looks really good honestly. Should look great on my HD CRT (the best way to play an SD console)

Very nice, this is without a doubt my most anticipated game of the season and will be one of my few purchases.

At first I was a bit worried about the art, thought it looked a bit half-baked and washed out. But now I can really see where they are going with the art, the backgrounds truly look like paintings.
