Zelda for WiiU looks...underwhelming

The world looks lifeless, combat looks awkward, graphics are nothing special. If it wasn't named Zelda would anyone be hyping it more than say The Witcher 3?

Looks more interesting than anything coming out for PS4. #dealwithit

Uncharted 4, MGSV, Batman AK, Bloodborne and The Witcher 3 say hi

Way too early to have an opinion on this game but alas, jumping the gun is par for the course on this forum.

When have you cared? All you see Zelda, like ANY other Nintendo franchise is an "80's cartoon rehash."

Only Uncharted 4 is exclusive.

You didn't say exclusive and they are all exclusively not on WiiU.

Your threads are really underwhelming.

Bloodborne, the 2nd AAAAE of the gen is exclusive on PS4.

it already got reviewed?

What I stated is common knowledge.

Based on what evidence? I'm doubting the vast majority of people have even played the game

So? The games are going to PS4 aren't they? Therefore, your post was meaningless.

Bloodborne is gonna flop hard.

Port begging confirmed.

from what they have shown everything looks bad, unfinished, rushed. I don't even want to imagine the hell the devs are going through to release the game this year.

no one mentioned a port in this thread.

You're trying too hard

Who let this guy come back?

Keep dreaming. This ain't Fable Legends or Screamride.

Why involve Xbone out of sudden?

How about we wait for something that's not off screen, pre-alpha footage.

The Witcher franchise originated from PC. Is there any open world RPG in development exclusively for Ps4 or Xbox one?

If it wasnt Zelda it would be harder to know what to expect from it with this little info we seen, So no, wouldnt hype it as much if it was not Zelda

Yeah, let's hope this game gets pushed back to 2016. I think it needs more time.

lol, The Witcher wasn't an open world RPG when it was exclusive the PC bone head so your post = stupid/irrelevant. Try again.

He didn't say it was

Didn't say it was, stupid cow.

I'm not sold on it yet. I skipped SS.

@kinectthedots:

Where I said it was open world you moron.

Unlike Uncharted 4 right?

Why bother when they lap up their casual corridor shooters?

Nintendo fan: "Assassin's Creed and Uncharted both suck cause they're generic games that play the same and focus on graphics!"

*New Zelda trailer gets unveiled*

Nintendo fan: "OMG OMG OMG OMMMGGGGGG GOTY11111111111!!!!!!!!!!!"

don't be so mean to him, you're gonna make him cry.

What's wrong with UC4? They showed gameplay and it looked amazing. Intricate level design, improved stealth, new gameplay mechanics, wide range of ways to approach the enemies, etc. Nintendo only showed some empty lifeless map with Link riding on a horse, then some tacky slow-mo action. The End.

So far, I agree, because I'm not hyped for the new Zelda at all.

So,you've seen extensive gameplay footage nobody saw?

If the dungeon design is on point (which it probably will be), it's going to own.

Uncharted 4 doesn't look very inspired tho.

Bloodborne does look quite cool tho and MGSV looks amazing.

You're right it does, but it's also atleast 10 months away from release I'd say. I'm now hesitant to buy it after not enjoying Skyward Sword all that much, but I'm waiting for real gameplay demos before I start really paying it much attention. And Zelda is still mine and many others' favorite series, hopefully they can keep moving in the direction they were going with ALBW

Lol Splatoon will score better than Bloodborne

Bahaha.

QFT

No it doesn't, shut up your mouf

Probably not but it does look awesome.

Yes, it does.

Too early to judge it. Its still a year from release. But I liked the direction they're going from the little I saw.

Trying to ruffle up the TC's jimmies a bit guys lol

@NathanDrakeSwag: I guess zelda Wii U and Uncharted 4 have alot in common then.

Not really aiming this at you since you're not a reasonable poster (just using this post as a launchpad), but people have brought up supposed hypocrisy in that Ninty fans didn't really give a shit about open world games until Zelda started doing it. I think what makes open world world so enticing as far as Zelda is concerned is that Nintendo could potentially bring worthwhile level design to the open world template. Games like Ass Creed and Elder Scrolls have amazing worlds but very boring content. For instance, it's fun to **** around in Elder Scrolls' open world but the dungeons blow; they are so fucking basic and uninspired. Zelda games, on the other hand, have really smart and intricate dungeon designs. The idea of Zelda's superb dungeon designs+a more compelling overworld than what Zelda fans are accustomed to is very tantalizing. How dynamic the open world turns out to be, however, remains to be seen.

If they deliver, the result could be mindblowing, but I could easily see the open world being window dressing, which I'd be fine with as I care mostly about dungeons but it'd be a lost opportunity for sure.

push brick here, light torch there, do some boring multilayer dungeon where you flick switches to go to each level over and over again until you want to shoot yourself....

Then combine that with no level progression Zelda overworld with fields, stupid enemies that you have no reason to kill you'l just ride past them time and time again. oh oh... some variation! blow up some bolders to reveal generic cave #2312312 with some stupid stone head in it... maybe a heart piece.

"mindblowing".

You don't have to agree with me on the dungeons, but let's not be stupid about it. Torch lighting/pushing blocks is only a small part of a Zelda dungeon; if you actually want to have a serious conversation (which I suspect you don't going by this post), I could name tons of puzzles that fall outside of your inaccurate characterization. On a sidenote, I don't even remember any torch lighting in Skyward Sword come to think of it.

And I agree that the overworld might be shallow in this game, but then again, it might not.
