Morgan Webb slams Zelda: SS for cartoony graphics, praises UC3 for "Adults&

Pffft, what does she know... :P

Not going to bother watching the video, but did she really say Uncharted 3 and AC Revelations are innovative? LMAO what a joke.Wanderer5

The better question is did she really say Mario Galaxy wasn't innovative? If she did then she needs to look up the definition of the word and get out of the job. Innovation means to use new ideas. Mario Galaxy has done that for platformers. It used a lot of original ideas which are unique to the platforming genre. Uncharted and Assasin's Creed do nothing new. They just build on the previous installment.

I personally can't go near a wii because of how terrible the graphics are.

G4 still shows X-Play? I thought they only showed Cops and Cheaters.

I sort of agree.

I loved TP dark, LotR esc art sty le

I loved Windwakers styIe art cell shading (even more than ^)

SS, just looks:?, go for hot or cold, never aim for luk warm

That goes for art styIe too. Go for full cartoon or realistic, not a weid mix

Honestly which of these looks worse artistically

Glitchspot won't let me post another pic(of WW):(

But still, I believe WW & TP artstyIe>>>>>>SS

G4 lost all relevance as a viable source of Video game news and opinion when they merged with Tech TV, killed off most of their shows, and became a poor-man's Spike TV. Back in 2002 or 2003, I would have take G4's opinion more seriously.

While we're on the subject, I have never liked X-Play. I never liked the hosts, I never liked their reviewers, and I never liked the show in general.

I find it funny how G4 still thinks they are revelant when it comes to video games after they went to all the trouble to cancel most of their Video Game shows and portray themselves as yet another "man's network."

Since the Tech TV merger, the only new show that I really enjoyed on their network was Code Monkeys. And even that got canceled after two seasons!

Maybe I'll be willing to listen to what G4 has to say in regards to video games when they again offer shows like Judgement Day, Arena, Cheat, Portal, Pulse and Icons.

Until then, I could care less about their opinions when it comes to video games.

Oh my. I'd recommend she enter the witness protection program. Good thing she didn't explain that there is not a Zelda timeline and that until Link gets voice acting, Zelda games will always be stuck in the past afraid to try new things; no point in pouring gasoline over the fire.

Having no voice acting is a choice of st yle, not a requirement. Games aren't movies, they are games.

FastEddie2121

You know all about SS because you've clearly beaten it already? So Link doesn't have crappy voice acting...big whoop. As far as being "stuck in the past", that's pretty common with a lot of games still, so why pick on Zelda for doing the same thing other franchises continue to do to this day?

Bigboi500

Yeah, i bet reading books is also a ancient practice that shouldn't exist for these guys.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="NaveedLife"] Super Metroid was much better, IMO, and also Yoshi's Island, but if we are talking top down views, then yes, I agree with you. [QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"] TP doesn't look realistic at all..... I won't be missing anything. If I want to play a Zelda game I can simply fire up the N64.i5750at4Ghz

Me and you both know it won't be.

Could Morgan Webb act anymore like Chris Bores (Irate Gamer)? He bashed Kirby's Epic Yarn for the same thing.nintendoboy16

I'm only putting these ideas forward as if they were her opinions, not mine. FastEddie2121

My bad, Eddie, though since i'm in a mood i'm also going to stress out for anyone els about it that voice acted and non-voice acted games co-existed since like the early 90s (before the PS1 by the way)., it's a choice of st yle.

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]Could Morgan Webb act anymore like Chris Bores (Irate Gamer)? He bashed Kirby's Epic Yarn for the same thing.jasonharris48

Chris Bores isn't someone I'd go to for gaming info anyways, so he can say whatever crap he wants. Same with Morgan, I stopped caring about G4 after how it spiraled down to garbage, so she can say silly stuff as welll for all I care.

Who is Morgan Webb and why should I care about his opinion?

Haha. I got my joke of the day.

The only thing I can nitpick at SS is the mammoth HUD. I mean look at it!

Im bored of realistic looking games, games like Borderlands, Deus Ex: HR, Torchlight hold my attention longer because its appealing to look at and stumulates things deeper that "Wow, that door REALLY looks like a door". Boo Hoo if you dont like the art style, become a photographer if you want to look at realistic pictures.

You can always tell when people are just trying to hate on something for the sake of hating on it when they're unable to pick up on the actual flaws of what they're discussing, and instead rely on non-issues.

charizard1605

Okay. Read through some of the thread and it sounds like she is one of the hosts of that gaming channel, G4.

Do people actually hear other people's opinions and just think, "oh yeah that's right because she said so"?

What's wrong with a game looking cartoonish? It's a freaking game.

This is the same people who gave Zelda:WW praise for its cartoon graphics.

Something smells fishy here...

Uncharted looks cartoony too. Zelda would look nice with Uncharted bart direction, and power. A linear mess, but still nice.

You shouldn't trash one or the other, you should praise the industry for offering different styles. Can you imagine if everything was CoD? FPS fans are already suffering :P

So what?

Did you see what they said about TR?
Those 2 are insufferable oafs.

I honestly don't care about SS having cartoony graphics. I care it about it looking unimpressive compared to other Zelda titles.

But they said a few other things in that video that just made me scratch my head.

I don't wanna go around and start calling people idiots. But man, in this occasion, it's hard not to.

couldn't care less, i love zelda

"Tomb Raider.The same game is being done in games like Uncharted"

Dear God...

This is a laugh calling Uncharted innovative what did it do that was innovative. It didn't perfect over the shoulder gameplay or climbing mechanics it stole them off Tomb Raider. Also I like the cartoony design it adds a bit more character to the series of Zelda because Wind Waker beat Ocarina of Time for me and Skyward Sword is looking very intresting.

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] And in spite of that, you fail to see the point. :| Did The Wind Waker teach you nothing? Graphics don't matter jack, it's all about game design and mechanics, and Zelda has that on lock, it's always immaculate. There is literally no other game series that survives ONLY on the basis of pure and sheer level design like Zelda does. Graphics, especially in the case of Zelda, are a means to an end, the end being communicating said game design to the player.i3DS

I see nothing wrong with saying facts, Zelda is indeed cartoonish looking game

finalstar2007

Which is one of the things that actually works in its favor.
