I think its Nintendo's poor marketing for SS that everyone hates.

Everyone's talking about how lame Skyward Sword looks... but in all actuality the gameplay looks ALOT better than Twilight Princess.

Back in E3 04, everyone went bat**** INSANE with the debut of Twlight Princess's trailer. It was amazing. But it barely even contained any actual gameplay and alot of things were exaggerated (open forest, huge Hyrule field, etc). We went crazy over the fact that a new Zelda game was coming, not for the gameplay it offered. It played on the senses. But both the Skyward Sword trailers so far have just been bland montages of various gameplay.

If Nintendo put together a trailer using the game's artstyle in a creative way, the backlash wouldn't of been so bad I think.

This trailer was just made to shown how the game was coming along, mainly concentrating on the combat. We will get another trailer at E3 that will most likely have much more information in it, along with more hands on impressions.

Lol Zelda already played one, why would i want to play second one? They play exactly same and game doesn't have story

This is what I'm getting from the OP:

If a Zelda game shows too much gameplay, people will realize it sucks. If they show mostly cutscenes and fast glimpses of gameplay, people will think the game is THE ****.

Not sure if I agree, but what can I say... I'm not impressed with this new trailer, so you might be right.

And while we're at it, I bet you're hyped aboutDark Souls.

Now go and hide under your bridge.

I like the graphics and the motion plus gameplay looks good too.

The new Zelda looks disappointing. So far, the trailers have been very hastily put together, and while I like the artstyIe, the actual graphics of this game aren't very impressive. The music doesn't stand out. We have no information about the story (except for knowing that there's a new villain, it's a prequel to every single non Four Swords Zelda game so far, and it takes place in Skyloft), and the gameplay is remarkably unremarkable. Tell me... what exactly are we supposed to be excited for with this game?charizard1605

How could you possibly make these assumptions from two trailers?

It is rather hard to make Zelda look impressive in trailers. Especially with a lot of people who need constant and immediate rewards/gratification in games. And in a generation where even the best of Wii graphics aren't impressive for those who play on superior hardware. What makes the Zelda series so amazing is the constantly superb level and puzzle design. If you look at combat clips from say, Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time, you'd basically see a third person character hacking away at some enemies without much thought. Doesn't look impressive, but as we all know, those games are outstanding, even by today's standards.

Yeah, Nintendo didn't do a good job with the most recent trailer. But a bad trailer in no way discourages me from beleiving that the game design will be top-notch, as it has been in every other game in the series.

my theory: a blunt majority of the hate stems from it being a wii game period. If this were, oh say a different IP with a different character on another system, it'd be praised to the high heavens as the next "zelda killer" (Darkstakers anyone?)

What I wonder is, if Zelda is so outdated and in need of revolutionary change (and not that I necessarily disagree with that..), then why is it that not a single game developer has been able to use the formula and best the standards set by a 12 year old Nintendo 64 game?

I give credit to Beyond Good and Evil and Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy for putting up a good fight. Darksiders, not so much.

When a Zelda game comes along that is similar to previous ones, people say they hate it and say they want the series to go in a different direction.

When a Zelda game comes along that is different than the previous ones, people say they hate it and say they want it to go back to its roots and be more like previous Zelda games.

You just can't win with this franchise. All I know is the games never cease to be fun. That's all that matters really.

I think Nintendo is trying to keep SS hidden from the public to surprise us with the plot and gameplay and such.

This is a gameplay trailer, not a presentation. We're going to get some nice video-fodder that has nothing to do with the way the game is just to let people who value trailers over gameplay hyped.

TP's hype was huge because of the gameplay even though it failed to deliver. We wanted to swing the sword with intent not waggle it. I can't wait to feel the improvements M+ bring to the action, I just hope the swordplay is't as easy as Wii Sports Resort.tomarlyn

tomarlyn looking forward to a motion control game?

*Head explodes*

All I can't stand is the art styIe. It reminds me too much of Wind Waker. If only they could have used higher quality textures. >_>

Nintendo's strategy for a while has been show games when they're late in production. The less they show, the better for me. Theres less of a 'hype' build up and less to be disappointed by.

Actually, that would be a misinformed or ignorant person.

A lot of people probably hate the wii since they are not anime fans or in the mood to play childish games.

Who's talking about how lame it looks? The game looks pretty awesome in every aspect to me.

Poor marketting for the SS? I heard their advertising agent was a genius.

Hi.

I do this all the time with games, I do a media block out. The first trailer of Skyward Sword was basically enough to make me pleased about what I saw and the details of making it MotionPlus exclusive was also pretty much all I needed.

I've done this countless times with games in the past. SMG2, Assassin's Creed: Brotherood, Epic Mickey, etc.

There is ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with that.

I should start doing it as well. I don't really like hyping games.

I actually think he was referring to Mario Sports Mix and not the title you're probably thinking of (Super Mario Galaxy 2).

That part about the anime fans and childish games is just BS (not even sure if serious), and The Legend of Zelda has innovated way more than most FPSs have.
