User: If you could have one game company release any game you requested, what would it be?

G4:More than anything we like to see interesting new IPs. The games that have gotten people the most excited around here are game changers like LittleBigPlanet and the first Gears Of War.

But if we had to pick a game, then we would want BioWare to make an RPG based on the Zelda series. Nintendo waters down their RPGS whereas BioWare excels at fleshing out an RPG into a 80 hour game. It would be Zelda but for a more mature gamer.

Funny. Especially because Bioware games are always a technical mess. I hope to god that they never go anywhere near good games and stick to their dragon-fantasy and sci-fi crap.

It could work if they have Nintendo do the debugging because Nintendo games are hardly buggy. So if Nintendo does that and Bioware does the rest I can see it working.

Yes, but I've never lost immersion in a high profile Nintendo game. On the other hand every time I open the damn menu in a Bioware game, I struggle to accomplish what I want to do. I really can't stand their games and that all their games are cut-and-paste of the same general formula.

Although I agree that BioWare shouldn't make Zelda (it isn't even an RPG!), you have to see the irony in your post.

"Nintendo waters their RPGs down" Really now? I find that funny. I love Bioware but I would never imagine a Zelda title (of course it would never happen). Zelda doesn't need to become an RPG seriestheir fine as Action-Adventure titles.

As much as I like Bioware, none of their games touch the Zelda series... G4 is such a failboat.

I agree I also don't think their other RPGs are watered down. They are also usually so different from other RPGs like Fire Emblem it is an SRPG but when they die they are gone for Good. Paper Mario series and Mario & Luigi series. They also have some great DS rpgs and have a couple Wii RPGs like Xenoblade and Last Story both of which aren't watered down.

Zelda's not an RPG, the only one coming close is Zelda II but even then it's fairly light.

I'm not a fan of Mass Effect but can you really call a game overrated while talking about Zelda in the same sentence?

Lately I do not aprove of Nintendo's ways, but they know how to make a mean zelda lol. If Bioware touched Zelda it would be the end of the series. Bioware is very overrated no doubt! Zelda is underrated :P. Heres to hoping Nintendo restores my faith in them at this E3 with the new zelda sporting something great as it always does.

Oh yeah, G4 sucks horribly.

Zelda doesn't need linear ethical choice systems, and infact Twilight Princess was 4 times as long as Mass Effect. (58 hours for TP for me whereas ME took 12 hours) just to be Story

G4 isn't thinking right, whoever said that. Some things need to stay simple, like Zelda.

And Zelda is action-adventure not RPG. There's no leveling. If Zelda is an RPG than Assassin's Creed is an RPG

Zelda sure as heck doesn't need clunky controls of Bioware games, let alone Bioware can't make a game camera that works nearly as good as OOT.

Zelda was pulling off the "Ooh I'm Darth Revan!" kinda plot twist since Zelda was really shiek, since Tetra was really Zelda.

If you didn't see the whole Revan thing coming, well you're not doing it right.

I'm not calling Bioware games bad, its just what they have to give won't help Zelda

We saw how much Bioware stunk up Sonic RPG. Took a licensed IP and forced its ideas of choice and "darker" storylines into and it sucked. Once again, the gameplay with the repetitie enemies, too long battles, and constant use of Power abilities hurt the game, but with Sonic RPG reviewers were less inclined to give it good scores coz it wasn't a "Nex gen" title like the Mass Effects, etc.

I actually love Bioware games, but they have nothing to offer Zelda except confusion, clunky controls, and pointless choice systems.

I'd like Link's face to load and not have pop-in every time Zelda speaks to him

Mass Effect 2 and Dragons Age show that Bioware is making their RPG much more casual friendly and they have not made an 80 hour game in a long time. KOTOR, Dragons Age, ME, ME2, Sonic, etc none of those games hit the 80 hour mark, most were around 20-40.

It's not as hard to QA a shallow game, that's the difference.

it is but its the rpg that most people dont think of when they hear the term. its an action rpg which is a sub catagory in rpgs. the health and magic in zelda increases the further you progress so that makes it rpg likehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_role-playing_game

Anyway why would sheep care about BioWare, it's not like the Wii can handle a game like Mass or Dragon Age anyway, they don't have to worry about BioWare and their "crappy games", much like they don't have to worry about 99% of the AAA multiplats this gen since they can't play them either. It just goes to show, insult a sheep's cherished franchise and they will incite the fires of hell against you, even if you're BioWare they'll mock your "horrible games", regardless of their history of 15 years of AAA franchises spanning multiple platforms, generations, and themes. This is going to be 30 pages of whinging and bleating about how everyone EXCEPT Nintendo is an overrated, horrible sack of crap, Zelda is the best franchise in history and who cares if it's been done 20 times now, it's still so original how Link fights Gannon to get to Zelda and she gets captured again and rinse repeat etc. So with that said, /popcorn.Hahadouken

I guess I agree with you for the first time.

Shocking,isn´t it? ;)
