I don't think these two islands are sufficient to advertise the game to have "new" content, and i don't think those islands were cut due to time constraints.
I'm already imagining a picture of all employees of Retro standing in a single office. It must be the biggest developer ever!
If they remove the stealth parts of Wind Waker i'm gonna be pissed! I actually like those because they require precision and they are very hard to do the first couple of times.
I don't see why developers have been trying to remove frustration elements from games i the last couple of years (minus Dark Souls ofc.) because i believe frustration to be a part of what makes gaming so good. When you finally beat something that seems to be too hard, it's one of the most r...
This is awesome news. It's sad to see that Vigil got all split up over the THQ bankruptcy, but at least the remaining talents are put to good use with this collaboration. This just got me all the more excited for hyping Retro's next game!
*Eject* *push in* *eject* *push in*
That's how it's gonna be, and my Wii U's gonna like it that way!
I really don't think Nintendo are striving to be milking the Zelda franchise in such an obvious way.
If they announced a new Zelda for 3DS as well as a Majora's Mask remake, AS WELL as showing the Wind Waker HD for Wii U it's gonna start seeming like they sold out on the franchise.
If they make a proper jump mechanic, it would make the world so much more impressive.
I simply won't support EA on this. This demonstrates how much developers have lost vision and passion imo.
They should at least rerelease it for PSN or something! I'm dying to get to play it again!
Even if it had voice acting, i think they would retain Link's muteness. Look at Half-Life and see how well it worked there. HL2 is very character driven and characters often speak directly to you (Gordon) and then they respond as if Gordon answered them, even though he is completely mute. It's like in OoT.
I always liked how there were no real optional settings in Zelda games. You never get to choose difficulty from the getgo and you don't get to choose between touch/buttons or motion controls/buttons and therefore all players get the same experience, when playing the game the first time.
Having additional voice acting would probably mean that cutscenes get longer because the animations have to match the voices, and then people who disable it will have to wait longer. It co...
I just hate how game development is leaning more and more towards being a popularity contest. Dead Space used to be something unique but now it's just Gears of Dead Space 3 - a transition similar to mass effect 2 to mass effect 3 - and it tries to replicate CoD and Gears completely, because it apparently sells better.
I'm so sick of how much passion companies have lost in gaming over the past years.
I'm guessing they're thinking about making something similar to the tingle tuner from Wind Waker in the next Zelda game, and maybe that's what Aonuma was referring to.
With gaming becoming more purely business-minded i can totally imagine Sony and MS cutting the backwards compatibility because they want to resell PS3 and XBOX 360 titles for the new consoles because it simply makes more money.
Yeah, MM is one of the few Zelda games that actually did something different with the franchise while still doing the job.
The dungeon design is one of the most determinating factors when it comes to deciding which Zelda is better imo, but i also think it comes down to how Nintendo has crafted each world of the different titles.
One of my main arguments as to why MM or WW are the best, if there ever should be one, is that they have the most fleshed out NPC town inhabitants. In both Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker, a lot of emphasis in side-content has been put on the characters, about learni...
I really hope it's either a Metroid Prime game on the list or some completely new Metroid franchise. Maybe have it like a 3D adventure title that's a mix of Prime and Other M.
Nonetheless i just hope Retro are the ones doing it, because the Tecmo tried waay to hard to make us care about the story in Other M, whereas Retro are much more simplistic and minimalistic with their approach to story in the prime games.
Halo 4 had a good difficulty. But i really miss those early N64 games type of difficulty. It's not the fact that gameplay has become easier to master, but it's more that games tend to hold you in the hand by telling you exactly what to do to complete your goal. If you're getting stuck trying to solve a puzzle, the games give you obvious hints about where to go next.
I hate how coreographed games have become. Full of setpiece moments that most people seem blinded b...
I don't see how there's no hope for an MM remake, now that they can reuse alot of assets from the OoT 3DS remake. I hope they will still make Majora's Mask at some point and it should be for 3DS instead of Wii U.
Final Fantasy seems to be a perfect example of how far away Japanese and western games are moving apart in terms of appeal.
Back in the day when there was no real voice acting in games we didn't notice or get annoyed by the differences in culture, nor did we scratch our heads as to how the character's looked.
Everything Final Fantasy nowadays is all blitzy and flashy, completely over the top.
