I imagine Breath of the Wild's map will be similar to Wind Waker's in style. That is to say, you'll have a lot of just running around in vast expanses of nothing (although I'm sure they'll give Link tools to expedite this) but when you do spot an "area of interest" it'll almost always be worth checking out. gently caress I am so goddamn excited for this game. edit: aaaand I just realized somebody said almost this exact thing a page ago.

I'd like if there was a UI option to stick the stamina meter in the corner of the screen. Some of these vistas look amazing and it kinda bugs me to have that shiny green thing in the middle of the screen whenever you're climbing, especially now that we live in an age where anyone can post your own high res screencaps super easily.

Can you imagine what they're going to have to do make the Zelda that comes after this top BotW?

From Time magazinequote:As the first fully open-world Nintendo’s worked on, what’s the hardest thing about designing for an open world? I love this. It's like the young guns at Nintendo are really starting to have their voices heard and his like Aunoma are really listening.

So everything regarding content, e.g. story, towns, quests, dungeons, characters, and plotlines has been developed? If so, that's pretty cool. And 6 months out means it comes out around Feb/March or so  it's really happening guysI want this game so bad.

Here's hoping that Breath of the Wild is both a critical and commercial success so that Nintendo sees that the new ways aren't all bad. Like I'd love if they made a new Metroid game that plays like Metroid Prime but is as open-ended as Super Metroid

Basically just a few nerds who convinced other people to hire them on experience doing their best guess. There's almost nobody actually considering it as a proper discipline or trade.

If they claim dungeons have been replaced with exploring the world then Zelda has replaced the thing I play Zelda for with the thing I don't play every other open world game for.

They're still trying to get someone to dump the game right now to an SD card after yesterday. After the first attempt already went public. What's the worst that could happen to the person who attempts it or actually gets away with it y'know?

There are 100 shrines on top of dungeons. I'm super cool with that, but the only 'traditional' thing I hope they keep is having 8 dungeons. I just want to play this game for thousands of hours and never stop

It takes a pretty long time to copy 16GB on Wii U but I guess it could be done since they're giving everyone 40 min at demo stations.

Sam Faust posted:So was there anything displayed on the gamepad screen? I don't remember noticing anything or them pointing it out. In other game demos, they've switched between the gamepad and the main screen during the stream, so it's possible that whole "use your tablet as a telescope/mark enemies and destinations" thing is on the gamepad screen. But it also might not be. They certainly weren't using it for quick-swapping equipment.

So I'm selling my Wii U. Do I have to do anything with it before I sell it? I want to keep my account on there so it comes with Super Mario 3D World and Nintendoland. However, I am worried that the next owner may try to use my credit card on the eShop.

Also judging by the way the accounts are acting this is the guy who tried/is/will dump the demo. Yeah, a seventeen year old. The impetus of youth and all that. Edit: Also ALSO judging by this post there won't be any tears shed by the hacking community if he gets caught and there's any actual consequences for him.

Lol they don't let you handle the consoles, much less go into the data management and copy files and poo poo. You guys are just gonna download a package of viruses from some Internet prankster.

I still don't even get why we are believing any of this. The kiosks are clearly under lock and key, there are Nintendo reps everywhere that watch you like a hawk, the "Home" button is probably disabled as it is for any demo kiosk but maybe most damning of all is that the WiiU OS is terrible and copying a large file can take ages. he'd have to go at least half an hour without anyone noticing his kiosk is not on Zelda

So given the hints that much of the story is hidden in optional stuff and a person playing the game from one "GO HERE FOR PLOT" marker to the next might miss much of the story... Will this game suffer from Xenoblade Chronicles X style criticism of "there's no plot here" when all of the plot is hidden in optional sidequests? (I'm about 2/3rds of the way through XCX and, as a sidequest person, I'm increasingly annoyed at that criticism. There's tons of story in that game, and some of it is even good.)

I sure hope it does, because I think Zelda is a game that could really work well with plot being a discoverable commodity.

yeah in a jrpg if you miss out on the story you're missing a big part of the game, in zelda, not so much

I have a friend who loves zelda, he even introduced me to it with Majoras Mask many terrifying moons ago, but he thinks the new game looks boring. He and everyone who says that must just be objectively dumb right? Like you do realize how impressive it is that they can keep us engaged with new and amazing content for hours and hours WITHOUT even touching on the traditional zelda temple/story stuff right?? This isnt a lacking Zelda game, its a new zelda game + skyrim with link. Skyrim + Zelda, not Zelda without temples.

This game seems like it has all the kinds of things that could get me to spend like a few hundred hours just messing around and exploring the world. The elder scrolls/fallout games got too samey for me to do that past Oblivion and Fallout 3 so it's nice to see a game that looks like a fresh and fun take on this open world game concept. And it being made by Nintendo kind of ensures a certain level of polish and fun to everything that I'm really interested in seeing more of. I just need to see what the NX is like so I know whether I'll want to get it on that or just pick up a Wii U for it.
