ArmyOfMidgets posted:This is something I've always wondered of the Skull Kid bit, IIRC the first time you go through you only have sound to guide you, second time it's at night and you can see the light of SK's lantern as well as the music. Whose backwards decision was it to make the second time easier instead of more difficult? I think the day-night cycle in the game has more to do with it.

Judging from all these gameplay videos, I think it's safe to assume BotW will be the best Zelda. Yes, even better than Wind Waker.

If there's one thing I miss in Skyward Sword, it is the quick travel options from Twilight Princess or ALBW. Where in SS you have to get to the drat statue, fly that bird and then jump to one spot, in TP you only had to call Midna to warp your androgynous hind to your destination.

Some interesting snippet from an interview.quote:Realistic Link came back four years after Wind Waker in Twilight Princess, which was released on GameCube and Wii. The pendulum returned again to the realistic direction, but what kind of circumstances resulted in it? Ergo, Breath of the Wild is Twilight Princess 2.

A point worth considering from Supermetaldave64 about that gameplay video with Bill Trinen and co that was shown last week. The reason why the framerate looked choppy on that video might have more to do with the actual youtube video recorded at 24 fps rather than the game stuttering under it's weight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOi3UG6yNgI&t=520s

Cleretic posted:Not likely. The framerate's reliably better when the game is, obviously and logically, rendering less. Well, yeah. But if we're taking SMD64's account - and he has played the demo at E3 - then the talk about the game running mostly below 30 fps is based on a failure on Nintendo's part of not taking account of video framerate syncing or whatever you want to call it. The bottom line though is that it'll probably run in 30 fps most of the time, save for some crowded moments. But we'll have to wait until 2017. Maybe.

Suspicious Dish posted:It is pretty regular for games to run at 12fps until the last few months of the dev cycle during optimization. Except the E3 demos didn't run at 12 fps. Besides, aren't they currently doing localisation work at the moment?

s.i.r.e. posted:You mean the same YouTube video with the 60fps camera footage overlayed on top of the choppy footage? I'm no video expert, but 60fps and 30fps video feeds tend to mix relatively well. 24fps not so much.

s.i.r.e. posted:24fps is 24fps no matter what, and mixing two different frame rates in the same video isn't going to effect one or the other. The game was just running poorly, rewatching the video of the game it actually looks less than 24fps as well. Here's the thing though: While the actual Zelda gameplay video Nintendo uploaded is a 60 fps video, you can see in segments with Bill and his friend that it's shot in 24 fps. Hence the suspicion that they dumped the framerate of the recorded game footage that ran in 30 fps to 24 frames to make it gel with the filmed segments at the expense of making the game looking particularly "framey". So it's not a question of 24 fps shown in 60 fps, it's about 30 fps video shown in 24 fps. To underline further: 24 fps is fine for shots with motion blur (ie. movies), it's not fine for video games that do not have motion blur naturally. Without motion blur, the "frameyness" would be pretty obvious, because there's nothing to blend the frames together. (As an example, see this video with motion blur used on a 20 fps video.) To summarize: Nintendo needs better video editors. The game looked good, though.

It was reported that you can choose the language in the newest Zelda, but can you do it with Japanese audio and English subtitles? Nope. It's all or nothing.Nintendo posted:“In the case of Nintendo Switch, if you change the language of the system, you can change the game to Japanese, but that will change everything to Japanese. Unfortunately, it is not possible to play with English text, for example, and Japanese voices.”

I like how Nintendo is taking it for granted that people will eat up all that poo poo, like a difficulty mode behind a purchasable DLC. Which is pretty likely.

Bill Trinen talked about why Zelda is getting DLC in some podcast.quote:“It was tough, because we actually had a lot of debate in terms of do we announce it, how do we announce it. I think one of the things that’s unique about the way Nintendo develops games is when we’re working on a game, and certainly just knowing the history of Nintendo games, you guys know that it’s essentially we use every last minute to make the game as good as we possibly can, and really what that means is that the dev team was working on the main game, finished the main game, and as they’re starting to get to the very end and wrap it up, really they said, ‘You know we’ve made this massive world of Hyrule, we’ve spent a long time building it. It would be a waste to just make one game and have that be it.’ We want people to be able to enjoy exploring this world, and so they started thinking about, ‘Well, if we were going to do DLC, what would we do, how would we do it?’ And you can see that in the fact that it’s not… the DLC is not launching the day after the game or the week after. It’s coming out several months later in the form of the first pack and then several months after that in the form of the second pack. And that’s because the content is in development.

You probably have to take in account the context of the time Skyward Sword was released. Compared to the games released back then, it was something truly revolutionary. Maybe. I don't remember.
