13/f/cali posted:So far my favorite part of Captain Toad is how comically slow the first 3D World level feels. It just felt like someone asked the question "how much would it suck if Captain Toad had been an unlock in 3D World?" and Nintendo decided to answer. Yet in spite of how I made that sound, I still thought it was fun. All of those so far make me really want to replay 3D World sometime soon. Not being able to jump really runs the gamut of frustration in this game. There's even a Toadette level with a gap between you and one of the power gems, and three coins aligned over the gap as if to say, "just jump it! ps gently caress U"

Isn't Toad waiting at the end of Champion's Road? I want to see that.

So in case anyone isn't watching the Game Awards (They are awful, but some solid announcements), Reggie, Miyamoto, and Aonuma just confirmed that both Star fox and Zelda U are coming next year, and showed off some gameplay of Zelda U which has an absolutely massive map, and full horse mounted combat.

LanceKing2200 posted:Low quality, but it's here: Quoting myself from the awards thread: Suspicious Cook posted:This upcoming Zelda feels like what Miyamoto was going for with the first one. He wanted a mysterious adventure where you had to discover a world with nothing but your own wits. With this giant map and nothing to guide you but landmarks we might be getting exactly that. I'm expecting this map to have a million tiny secrets to find. I just hope traversing it isn't as tedious as Wind Waker's sailing. It won't even have the amazing sailing music this time.

I hope they put a few more enemies in the world because while pretty it did look a little bare. Really hoping they put up some onscreen footage because I need to see it close up.

For a game that clearly has another 9-10 months of development time left (plus the normal Nintendo care/secret sauce) Zelda will end up fine. Really hoping they take the 3DW/MK8 route and target solid 60FPS with the current style and then pretty it up as much as they can with the hardware.

I'm almost wondering if this Zelda is some sort of intermediary title. From what we're hearing it's very open-world and sounds like a "do dungeons as you choose to do them" Zelda 1 style. There can't be much plot going on in it if that's the case. Maybe this is a smaller (though not in physical world size) Zelda game and they're working on another 3D Zelda for late in the Wii U's life more like the recent 3D Zeldas.

I don't think it limits the plot as much as you think. Skyward Sword mostly had a story around each dungeon, then periodically you'd have to go back to main temple and knock that big black thing back into the pit, not much would have been lost if you could do the dungeons in any order.

They're doing exactly what they always do: making a game that attempts to address the criticisms made of the last one. In this case, people hated that Skyward Sword was a guided rollercoaster ride through a bunch of handholdy busywork, so they're pulling in the opposite direction and giving you a huge world to explore and unravel on your own. Maybe it'll be fun, maybe it'll be fun with a bunch of caveats like most other Zelda games, who knows.

You can still have plot with a non-linear game, it just takes designing a world where "this event happens after the fire dungeon" can instead be "this event happens after the third dungeon you beat, whichever one that happens to be." The idea of it feeling like a modern Zelda 1 would be amazing. I don't want to get my hopes up but at the same time I want it to be that.

I really hate this insinuation that it's supposed to be a lesser game because the ability to freely explore an open world may mean there is less of a focus on storytelling. Games are not supposed to be about stories goddamnit, stories are things that have already been told, and therefore decided, ahead of time without input from the player, after all

I guess I'm just surprised that the main 3D Zelda game of the console is coming out this soon considering the 5-year wait between Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword but then again it was only 3 years between Wind Waker and Twilight Princess so I've defeated my own argument. I'm still looking forward to whatever gets put out!

I had figured the first sentence was meant to say that storytelling will still be present despite the usage of an open world. But then the second hits me as saying storytelling doesn't matter.

Since Star Fox games are rail shooters, even with Nintendo perfectionism they probably don't take much effort after the initial design phase.

This one isn't really a rail shooter, at least not in the same way as SF/64, and then there are all those weird minigames Miyamoto showed at E3 that may or may not be a part of the "package", whatever that entails. Miyamoto said he deliberately announced the game much earlier than usual as a way of forcing the devs to finish it quickly; they were working with an external studio to finish the game, but we don't know who.
