The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Will Have Over 100 Minutes Of Cutscenes

I don't really know how I feel about this. Guess it's a good thing since it might imply that the characters and story are fleshed out, but...

I just don't know.

You don't know how you feel about this?

The game can last you 50 hours to 100 hours of gameplay and there's just 100 minutes of cutscenes, come on bro.

Yea....1 hour 40 minutes out of 50 hours isn't that big of a deal at all.

That's pretty average for most games, actually.

Cool i guess, but 100 minutes of Cutscenes its kind of vague, there could be 100 minigames with a 1 minute cutscene explaining them.

That's not really bad.

Miniscule amount of cutscene of a typical game.

Shockingly large for Zelda.

Still, I'm certain it will be engaging and interesting, like the subplots of Twilight Princess.

That is concerning.

But if the rumors are true that the game will be 50 hours long it will mean that only 3% or so will be cutscenes, which isnt too bothersome.

Sounds good, i think MGS series are exemple too right?

Fine by me. I just hope I can skip them for my second or third playthrough.bobcheeseball

They will be skippable. Cutscenes in Twilight princess were skippable as well.

I am totally fine with this. It (likely) means that it will have a long and deep story, and that's what I play for. And we already know that the gameplay in SS looks good.

50 hours of gameplay though so it's nothing, lots of 1-2 min ones.

I don't want Zelda to be like Mario, I like some cutscenes that are well made and enjoyable to watch.

I especially remember great cutscenes from MM, WW and TP.

Hopefully the last third isn't a giant fetch quest like wind waker.

It's the creation of Master Sword. The origins of Hyrule and the origin of Princess Zelda, whom Ghirahim refers to as a "godess" that's why he wants her.

The Goron for example is probably someone who is exploring "the lands below" looking for a new home.

THE STORY IS EPIC !!!

Well hopefullt the cutscenes won't be too intrusive.

Otherwise GS might end up docking points for no voice acting.

If it makes you feel better, WW was rushed according to Nintendo, they apologized for it! This one has been in production for 5 years.

I thought that was 100 hours when I first read it.

If only...

But Zelda will have around 50 hours of gameplay instead of 4 :P

I remember this thread when it said "Killzone 3" and everyone talked about how the story would be way better and more fleshed out.

Seriously, 100 minutes of cutscenes in a 50+ hour game is practically nothing.

I don't understand how this could be a bad thing.

Seems to be the general consensus other than OP seems unsure of is this good or not. 2 hours isn't really long when you're playing a 30+ hour long game.

Doesn't bother me at all considering the game can reportedly last from 50 to 100 hours

Oh no, 3-4% of the game is cutscenes :?.

It might even be less considering that it incluedes optional tutorial videos and may possibly include cutscenes from side quests as well.

And let me guess: not one minute of recorded voice acting. :| The game looks dope, and when I someday purchase a Wii this will be a primary factor, but it still ticks me off that Nintendo goes cheap on production values when Zelda is their second biggest franchise. Just my 2¢.

I'm glad it's so light. It's not a big offender like MGS4

Okay... think about it. 100 minutes of cutscenes... with over 50 HOURS of gameplay. Not really that big a deal. Especially considering games like MGS4.

I played TP for like 100 hours on one playthrough. This is perfectly fine with me.

Still, I'm certain it will be engaging and interesting

mmmwksil

so basically 1/50th of the game is cutscene

... Movie gear solid 5 am confirmed?

Let's see...

Whidley loved franchise, and we're in SW...

Yup, this game will be awful because it has the same amount of movie as Finding Nemo.

Legend of Zelda, more like Legend of Movie amirite or amirite??? I'm not good at this :[

On a more serious note, I don't care. I've always enjoyed the story in Zelda games, and I don't think Skyward Sword is going to change that.
