G4 bashes Zelda: Skyward Sword

Morgan Webb compares the game to Uncharted 3 and yawns while Adam Sessler says that the gameplay hasn't graduated from Ocarina of Time.

G4 is one of the most incompetent sources..

iamtehpwn5366d ago

G4 hasn't delivered a relevant opinion in about 6 years.

ECM0NEY5366d ago

Adam Sessler is one of the greatest game jounalists out there. I trust his opinion over all gaming sites.

crxss5366d ago

it sounds like they're willing to say just about anything to be heard.

i think they were expecting something along the lines of the evolution between zelda alttp and oot.

@EXM0NEY
Yep, Adam Sessler is the ONLY person I would actually listen to on G4. Sometimes Morgan Webb has an OK opinion, but really, Adam Sessler knows games and usually has a great opinion on things.

AWBrawler5366d ago

Sessler is the last real gamer on G4, but he's been showing a lack of interest in Zelda since Windwaker, so this was to be expected

I don't know about that, but from what I've seen it is true. Skyward Sword is still looking like another Ocarina of Time game. At least in gameplay. I am definitely sure that it will be a great game, and it will get the praise it deserves, it is just that Nintendo needs to do something completely different.

They have a franchise with a lot of potential to become the best game ever, as Ocarina once was. I hope that with the Wii U they really make something amazing it the series. Just imagine a game as vast as Skyrim, with cinematic game play like GOW 3 and Uncharted series, with epic boss battles the size of the colossus. It is just tons that can be done with Zelda. They need to make this series a monster as it should be.

Just look at the Wii U tech demo. At least that's a step (baby step) in the right direction.

Admittedly, Twilight Princess played way too much on Ocarina of Time Nostalgia the point where some parts of it tried felt like I was playing an enhance version of Ocarina of time.

However, Skyward Sword really does take the series in a new direction and offers a lot of new innovation, and types of gameplay.

Millah5366d ago

Nintendo doesn't need to do any of those things. Then it wouldn't be a ZELDA game anymore.

Besides, how are you to say how the game will play, when you haven't even played it yet? If you've been keeping up with it at all, the gameplay formula is seeing the biggest change in the series since arguably A Link to the Past. OoT was a revolutionary game, but it essentially took the formula from a link to the past and translated it into 3D. What Skyward Sword is doing is changing that formula.

So, obviously you haven't kept up with the details of this game, and neither did Adam Sessler. Or you were quick to judge the game based on a few videos rather than waiting to play it.

rexbolt5366d ago

u mean like 3 uncharted in 3 years? that play 110% the same? or the god of war that plays 90% till the ps3 which just made it faster? or the cod games that are 10000000000000000000000% copy paste? hmmm oh wb gears all they did was add color...

colonel1795365d ago

rexbolt:

I don't mean about how they play. Obiously they play the same because is the same franchise. The same with Zelda. The core gameplay will always be there. What I meant is the style of the gameplay. Zelda would benefit a lot from a cinematic gameplay like GOW and Uncharted.

Is anything else new? They hate anything not Xbox or shooter related.

I stopped watching G4 years ago. Basically as soon as they started getting women to pretend they like the video game culture and technology.

f7897905366d ago

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BOOBS! THEY HAVE BOOBS!

:D

rexbolt5366d ago

ass is better the boobs XD

jeeves865366d ago

Some women do like video game culture and technology. What, just because they have boobs it means they're faking?

humbleopinion5366d ago (Edited 5366d ago )

@Crazybone126, you are a true symbol of all that is wrong with the gaming community and N4G in particular: inability to accept the right for other people's opinion, too emotionally attached to games and get offended when the reviews don't turn out as you like, and show a juvenile sexist attitude towards women - including one who's done more for the gaming community then you ever will.

kesvalk5366d ago

Humbleopinion, you are a true symbol of all that is wrong with gaming community and N4G in particular, the ability to accept morgan webb opinion...

Crazybone1265365d ago (Edited 5365d ago )

Sure there's plenty of girl gamers. The women of G4 are not them. They hired them to compete with Spike TV's supermodel "gamer" girl image. They're only there for views and ratings because men (especially gamer nerds) will always watch something if there are boobs attached to it. They've never said anything worth listening to, telling me otherwise is just stupid. Check out a video of Morgan trying to play the first Super Mario Galaxy title. It's embarrassing. If they weren't pretending, I'd be willing to watch. But since they're pretending they know what they're talking about, my views are elsewhere.

ronin4life5366d ago

Morgan webb is an idiot. This is the same person who said Mario galaxy was lame because it was "too kiddie", then said that she LOVED mario and luigi for BEING "kiddie".
While Directv took G4 off of their network (more or less), to be honest with the way they had been going, they just saved me the trouble of taking it of my radar.

Jack_DangerousIy5366d ago

The best part about her is the fact that she can't stand characters like the original Lara Croft for being "hot" or whatever. But then she has been in scantily clad photo shoots herself... I guess it's ok as long as she acts like it bothers her.

My least favorite part of the whole show/website is.... when they try to be funny.

Bimkoblerutso5366d ago

Yeah, this is nothing new. Morgan Webb has been very outspoken about her hate for Nintendo to the point of blatant bias and a complete lack of professionalism.

Sessler is not generally as bad...but then this is G4. The network that thinks their target demographic is interested in seeing COPS, Cheaters, and "I-got-this-job-because-I -have-breasts" women attending conventions to talk about things they know nothing about.
