ONE WEEK until Breath of the Wild

>yfw the first review gives it 8.8

Oh, so you aren't actually reading the threads, just the OP.

there's a huge difference between being new, and simply having things to do besides browsing Holla Forums 24/7

After watching most of GameXplain's autistic >2h analysis/speculation this game really does look like it could be a massive fucking time sink. There are so many elements crammed together that you could dedicate many hours into just fucking around experimenting with the various gameplay mechanics & exploring. It does put one in mind of concept art for early Zelda games.

It would be really comfy playing in bed surrounded by pillows/blankets, on the Wii U Gamepad or the Switch, exploring the world for ages & losing track of time.

Kill yourself

Nintendrones will buy anything including a ubishit tier empty open world action game.

So when is the cutie Link porn from this game coming?

Use the catalog, god damn.

Not going to bother until CEMU can run it. It's a shame and I would gladly buy it but Nintendo just insists on holding it hostage on two of the worst consoles ever. Not buying either one of them. Not my fucking fault that Nintendo can't get their shit together.

I didn't expect to be hyped for this game, but all of a sudden last night I found myself having constant dreams about playing the game. It's really disconcerting as I've not really thought about the game beyond the E3 presentations and so on.

I'll be using my monitor cos the GamePad is shit.

Terada's art da GOAT.

I have no words

Don't forget the tons of soundless webms posted by these cucks.

OP is one of these faggots.

Chances are you're gonna be waiting a fair while.

I'll probably be laying on the couch using muh OLED TV most of the time.

I dunno if I should pirate BotW or get a Switch just for the smoother fps & graphics. I was considering moving soon which would leave me too short on cash for a Switch so I'll probably play the pirated version on my hacked Wii U. Would be nice if CEMU was reliable enough to run BotW at launch then I would emulate BotW at 4K taking full advantage of my TV resolution although other downgrades from the Switch version would still be present. Alternately, I could wait until after moved to get a Switch + BotW, but by then it will have been spoiled 100 times over. Hm, tough call.

Goddamn, four pairs of doubles.

That'd legitimately be my advice, if FPS/graffix is your concern. Once all the good shit comes out later in the year (why the launch lineup is so weak besides a new Zelda is beyond me) you'd have a Switch ready to rock and roll too, but you mention probably being monetarily strapped at that point so you can content yourself with the Wii U version. Should be identical save for framerate, and unlike CEMU there's no fucking fiddling around or waiting for shaders to cache or waiting for an emulator update so it doesn't run like hot ass on a hacked Wii U.

youtube.com/watch?v=gWE1RfXeIRI

The main villain is your son, you have to kill him or nuke Hyrule.

I wonder if I could possibly copy BotW save file from Wii U to Switch version when transitioning to the new platform. That would be very handy, but I doubt it will happen.

no wonder there are so many games with that shit artstyle

Don't you fucking dare.

It keep happening!

doubles?

Iwata greenlighted what you're complaining about, you fucking tool. Companies plan DLC development very early on.

(checked)

Doubtful, unfortunately, not to mention I'm not sure the Switch and Wii U could even communicate in such a fashion seeing as homebrew for the former is way off.

...

Has the leak been tested on CEMU?

Is the game even worth getting on the Wii U? I am not going to buy a fucking console on launch.

DOUBLES

This is getting really fucking eerie.

Only one guy seems to actually have the leak.

Poorer but still steady framerate compared to Switch, identical game otherwise from what we know about.

Is it the wii u or the switch version?

get a dirt cheep wiiu and hack it the nget the game for free.

the shilling is real, user.

Has it been leaked yet

this, we need to spoil the game for the shills and nintendrones

Wii U version, last I recall. It was some NeoGAFer off the very top of my head, but on the other hand I recall some pissing and moaning about muh cuckchan when the leak news came out so it might be some 4/v/ tool that has it. I dunno.

And yet no news of CEMU compatibility?

English, motherfucker.

I find unlikely that he has already figured out how to dump carts, so Wii U.

There are copies out there, but no leaks except for a few textures. All we have is the encrypted preload, we need the TitleKey ripped from a disc to decrypt it.

Some guy posting on /hbg/, actually.

That's rich, user

Probably not exactly on his priority list if he's just leaking details instead of dumping the whole game, if an iso was released it'd probably already be converted for loadiine/CEMU use.

No wonder, /vg/ is cancer regardless of the imageboard.

...

You have to actually let the Switch fail before you can say it's one of the worst consoles.

It's like you don't understand what constitutes as a spoiler for nintendrones. Hint;everything they don't know is a spoiler

You have never played a Zelda game in your life have you.

That's kinda fish-in-a-barrel for a salt party, isn't it?

There I spoiled every Zelda game to date.
If you want to make Nintendrones salty over a spoiler wait for Xenoblade, that game will have an actual plot.

Except Majora's Mask.

Not really considering this one is suppose to be more "story focused". All you gotta do is spoil major plot points regardless of how shocking they are and spoil all the previous zelda game cameo/easter egg stuff like Fierce Deity coming back. Spoiling Fierce Deity is what triggered the filter on gonintendo because people bitched, it's just that simple.

...

No. Skyward Sword will always be trash.

I need to keep up on this thing more, I didn't know Fierce Deity was making a return in some capacity and now I'm excited.

wait what? Just some cameo or costume or is it the real deal?

And any game that doesn't have Gannondorf

It's on one of the armor icon pages

Will the Wii U version of this be gimped in any way? I don't see how it could since the Switch is a weak piece of shit and I'd rather not own two dead consoles rather than one.

Do I have to wear that gay blue tunic for this whole fucking game? Where's my faggot elf hat?

Jesus Christ, did a 5 year old come up with those shit designs?

Those aren't swords, but rods.

Neat. I also spy a Wind Waker shield down there.

Do you faggots even Link?

Lawdy.

News is trying to say the switch version is "better", but with no credible evidence.

Yeah, I wonder how much of that is like how the Wii version of Twilight Princess was "better" compared to the Gamecube.

No, but it takes a 5 year old to mistake them for swords.

Theres already a BoTW thread here

I'm betting it's the same thing.

I have no doubt this game is doing the same damn thing.

Having some familiarity with the technology, I fully expect the Switch version to run worse than the Wii U version.

Screencap this.

WHOAWHOAWHOAWHOA

Please tell me that this is stuff you can obtain in the game and not DLC or a preorder bonus.

It's all on the wii u disk, so it's either unlockable in game, day one DLC or amiibo locked content

That was the fucking killer

Mark stop droning for 2 seconds and bumplock this thread.
Theres already a BOTW thread here and that one is actually decent.

the disk has been datamined? Holy shit yes. Gimmie more confirmation. There is this normalfaggot who i need to blow the fuck out with proof of day one on the disk DLC. He'll fucking crumble and it'll be beautiful.

For all I know his reasoning is one discusses the game and another discusses the leak.

Wii U has full-fledged piracy on current firmware, no need to give the Nintenjew any shekels if you already have one.

who cares about your shitty unplayable leak tho

You don't deserve those dubs, shill.

Motion control focus alone will make Skyward Sword a shit game forever. Nice bait though, made me reply.

Who cares about what OP does? OP is a faggot, this is a simple fact. But for those of us who want to discuss these threads are nice.

On the Wii U version of BotW there's less foliage, lower draw distance, lower resolution, worse lighting, worse environmental sounds, more fps drops, etc.

Who the fuck actually bought a Wii U though

No wonder, is that you Cody?

Mark

Aonuma was a mistake.

top kek

What you really have to do, if you want to spoiler a Zelda game, is spoiler the puzzles. Something like, "You have to break the pots in the corner, step on the switch, then use your mirror shield to light all the torches and that gives you the boss key"

Who else?

...

One week until the very first Besthedasized Zelda.

it would literally make my year if Nintenyearolds make even bigger asses of themselves through this becoming a reality

Stop with this meme, SS will never be good.

Zelda cycle only applies to 3D entries? Technically the last mainline title was A Link Between Worlds, and that's excluding Hyrule Warriors and Triforce Heroes

the puzzles in Zelda games are piss easy though, so knowing it before hand or figuring it out doesn't really matter. Spoil the amount of dungeons or their locations instead.

Depending on how far he's gone it might not worked.
There will always be someone who will defend it no matter what, no matter how retarded he sounds while doing so.

You can't break the eternal cycle.

Eight
Drop eight equidistant points across the map and you'll more or less get it right

I can see it

R-r-rev up them torrents :^)

they really force motion controls in skyward sword? there's no way to have traditional controls in that game?

Speaking of skyward sword, I don't remember the motion controls being that bad.
Although the only time I remember having to pay attention to the controls instead of just waggling my way through the game was probably the final Ghirahim fight and the Demise fight.
I think the main thing that annoyed me about skyward sword was that there was 4 points of interest in the sky, you had the home city, the inn to try and make it look like the sky is at least somewhat populated, and the 2 minigames.
They could have populated it with some more stuff like how WW had tons of smaller islands with puzzles, loot and enemies, or how OoT and MM had hidden areas all over the fucking place, but it was simply barren.
Same goes for the areas that you explore down on Hyrule for that regard, they felt largely uninteresting with nothing to explore outside of the main path.
What also annoyed me was they made you play through the same areas twice as if making you suffer through the poor level design once wasn't bad enough, and that fucking faggot stamina meter. I'm not looking forward to seeing that again in BOTW.
Yeah the motion controls weren't a big deal by comparison to all the rest of that shit in SS.

And then the next Zelda

Not unless there's some controller hack on Dolphin. Original hardware is Wiimotionplus only

Go try to replay it and come back after you've recalibrated the gyro twenty times in an hour

It's actually not that bad if you play the game standing up

The Xeno franchise died during Xenosaga 2. The IP just moved to the IP graveyard.

There is a Dolphin fork to emulate Wiimotion+ so you don't need the motion controller, but its a horribly outdated build. Otherwise, even on an emulator you absolutely do need an actual Wii Motion+ controller to play it. There is simply no way around it. The Dolphin devs are purists, this has good sides and bad sides, the good side is we have wicked accurate low level emulation but the bad side is that they don't like implementing things like emulated wiimotion+ because they call it hacks.
If you're particularly screwed your blutooth controller/adapter will not even play well with motion+ like what happened to me after hunting down a legit nunchuk controller

So a half finished game, and 2 bad but not outright shit games, and an abortion gotten overshadowed by good JRPGs because the publisher actually funds their games? Color me surprised.

...

Souls fags are gonna love this game

Hope you guys appreciate this. Apparently some guy from Australia got the game early(WiiU) and is gonna rip it and post it on cuckchan.

I hope those aren't his screenshots, that's the Switch release.

The enviroments are Oblivion tier and abusing bloom to look better than it actually does.

2.5 HOURS

I believe they aren't his. Also, fuck cuckchan's design. What a fucking eyesore, and it's clunky as hell. Never been there before today. I think I have terminal-9 brain cancer after visiting it.

...

That would give you like a half an hour battery boost, still unexcusable.

How do you only have concept arts one week before launch? How is this the best representation of what you're looking forward to? Is it one of those super secretive marketing campaigns like with Half Life?

There's like hours of game play footage on YT already. It looks barely any better than an a 2008 title, it is pretty sad that we still can't replicate concept art due to console hardware limitations during 2017.

Wtf that's not even a mirror shield. How does he not only block but reflect that laser/particle cannon? Does his shield at least lose some health? Hopefully the lower level ones outright break after an attack like that.

UT has been looking like concept art in motion for several years now so yeah, it really is consoles again.

if you're some kind of cuck that actually uses the switch as a handheld maybe

I checked it out myself, I'm enjoying this salt.

We don' know what kind of shield it is, I guess it will be fun to test what happens with other shields like the Bokoblin one

...

link to 4cuck bread?

Switch has at least double the processing power of the WiiU and it still runs with framedrops and stutters even in the unpatched retail release. Seems more like a lot of the game's issues are in relation to spaghetti code to me(Particularly how the physics engine communicates with all the grass seems to be a big issue).

Ausfag lied to them and just lead them on a wild goose chase. Now they're calling for his execution, lots of good salt.

boards.4chan.org/vg/thread/169198812#p169224157

fucking hell they're going to copy DaS aren't they?

2.5 HOURS
THE DEFENCE FORCE IS ALREADY DELUSIONAL ENOUGH TO DEFEND THIS

Excuse me sir, you seem to have dropped you == ==

switch was sent from G-d to liberate the nintendrones.

the framedrops on the Switch don't appear to be based on the games physics, probably an issue of porting from the WiiU's graphics API to the Switch's.

2.5 HOURS

All I care about is if someone (Nintendo or otherwise) remakes the first game using this engine, the mechanics for most things are pretty good. I'll pirate the Wii U version when I get it back from my brother. Since the Switch event my anticipation for the game has mostly died, the DLC announcement basically completely killed it.

Has anyone mentioned it in this thread? Aside from people complaining about pancakefags. Also, what was the battery life meme when the 3DS came out? I remember people shitposting about that too.

Could be, but "journalists" noted that it seems to really chug when there's a lot of grass. And Nintendo has explained how all in-game objects are linked to the physics engine. Meaning that Nintendo in their vapid stupidity probably runs a physics calculation on every chunk of grass that's currently being rendered every fucking frame.
It could just be a graphics api issue though and the day one patch gives it a perfect 30fps. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

3DS only gets 3 hours. If you got one at launch and didn't take care of the battery some don't even last an hour.

Wow, one whole half hour less, truly the Switch is doomed. I've got a New 3DS XL I bought off my brother and I'm pretty sure it lasted about 4 hours? Didn't have 3D on, and it has that weird brightness tracker thing too, though. I don't drain the battery enough on it to be sure, anyway, which is why I asked.

3 to 5 hours. Vita was the same too. The Switch reports to have 2.5 to 8 hours, and the Siliconeria test showed to last just over 2.5 hours.

The Vita and 3DS battery life was not that abysmal at launch, they lasted twice that. The Vita sometimes three times that.

t. Someone who actually owns a launch vita and launch 3DS

Salt, what exactly is this ruining?

I assume maximum brightness, sound on, probably had wireless on too? Just want to know if that's the minimum or maximum time.

Well shit then, apparently my New 3DS is shit then because I'm pretty sure it didn't last 5 hours the other day.

The fuck are you doing, having full brightness, wifi, 3D and whatever else you can have on?

that's about as long as my 3ds and preowned vita last

i guess we play the power heavy stuff

My Vita(1000 model, got it at launch) only ever lasted 5 hours at the most playing PSP games. MGS HD collection always netted 3 hours give or take about 20 minutes. You're full of shit, guy.

It had default brightness, most likely with sound and internet on too. They also just updated it with a run done at lowest brightness without wifi (in airplane mode) and it just lasted over 3 hours.

The more interesting part is that it apparently also took 3 hours to charge to full from empty.

What? it's funny watching them go ballistic waiting for the leak.

I guess we will have to wait for Eurogamers framerate breakdown.

3D was off, I kept wireless on because I'm a retard and love streetpass, and like I said I've got the auto-brightness thing on. Sound was on and off. From around 10 to 2ish, if I'm remember correctly. Also, if you're complaining about 2.5 hours on apparently default settings, while you clearly optimized yours for saving power.

I was going to say I was just playing Pokemon, but then I realized Game Freak are retarded and make the 3DS chug, so I guess so.

That's the real fucking bullshit, my New 3DS is fine after like an hour of charging usually. What kind of battery are they even using?

Didn't mean to put a comma, was suppose to be two separate questions. I have no idea what there is to be salty about. The leaks don't even seem major.

Apparently it also takes over 3 hours to charge the launch 3DS.
archive.is/2lUao#selection-643.159-630.7
en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/397/~/how-long-does-it-take-to-charge-the-battery?

So I guess not all batteries are created equal?

They aren't salty about the leaks, they are salty about the games tik not being released so they can play it a week early, some australian guy hyped up that he was releasing the tik and he rused them and they lost their shit.

It would be funny if the thread spent a week going ballistic only to get it on the 3rd but I think it will leak early, someone will just grab one out of their companies inventory and dump the tik early.

I want to cuddle romantically with Link then sexually dominate him as he sighs gasping for breath in the wild

Maybe, it is the New model and it's been a while since I touched my early one. Battery technology has been lagging behind computing technology, right? I guess if it is shit then the best we can hope for is that it's easy to replace the battery with a longer lasting one, I remember there being ones for 3DS early on.

that's a nice ruse

There's a few new batteries that are currently in early research stages that have better density than the Lithium Ion batteries you see in most devices right now. Problem is that we don't how long off that is until it's fully developed and passes all the safety regulations and such. Or even if they will make it that far. Shame though because most of them boast about faster charging and slower degradation.

You too? Holy shit, I've had 2 dreams where I'm playing BoTW.
My second dream was just me exploring the Plateau. This is kinda weird. Is Nintendo using some kind of 1984 mind control shit to incept dreams into our minds?

At least progress is being made, hopefully by the time they make the Switch XL or New Switch or whatever those batteries will be on the market.

...

HOLY FUCK THEY USED THE GODDAMN NIGGER WEAPONS MY FUCKING SIDES

I had a dream about playing persona 5. I woke up dissappointed.

Initially I suspected that Nintendo would push for a Switch portable but after seeing the teardown I have no idea how they are going to shrink the device let alone give it a larger battery life, a Switch mini is probably going to be the Switch's successor or a variation of it's successor. Those Nvidia Tegras are moving only slightly faster than dedicated graphics cards though.

I had a dream about it the night before the E3 reveal, I dreamt that the game had been completely and utterly ruined, after watching the trailer and some gameplay it was clear that this wasn't the case.

Let me guess: Link has to fight Ganon to save Zelda.

Actually, telling lies about the game does more harm than telling the truth.
With Ocarina of Time it was plausible that at some point of the game you could collect the Trifroce, that was some really damaging rumor and some retards wasted a lot of time looking for something that didn't exist.

Gas yourselves. If you bought a switch, kill your family too.

I mean it's pretty obvious this game takes place a long time after ocarina of time, to get the max nostalgia value when they reveal all the shit only nintendo kids will remember. But hey, OOT had the best fucking final boss ever so if this game has one even close to that it'll be a damn good one.

Z:BotW will be a pretty good game. Switch will do alright. Get confirms.

I just came, but at the same time I know these are likely going to be locked behind Amiibo.

Spoiler dat shit, you monkey

user I'm on nofap right now but can you post some more so I can store them for later?

...

bladesmith: what shape u want?

I guess it depends on what you're playing.
I usually get 6+ hours with full brightness+full volume+wi-fi.

I bet nintendo is just gonna ruin it like they did when they revived their other old IP's.

It looks promising, but that's how it always starts before people start finding flaws a couple hours after release.

Firstly we already know what content the Amiibo give and secondly none of that content is exclusive to the Amiibo, the Amiibo just gives it to you like a cheat.

The guy who posted those said that there are Link Tunics from more Zelda games, I only specifically remember a mention of the Twilight Princess tunic though.

Link between Worlds also had upgradeable items, including fire & ice rods.

If dubs it leaks tomorrow

get the fuck out of here, groose. you can't get dubs.

Well here's another knock against the battery argument. It's been stated that if the battery dies while you play it'll save your progress(I imagine this only applies for games like BoTW where you can save anywhere, though)

Not exactly, from what I heard it just goes into a forced sleep mode to suspend your progress for however long the less than 1% of batter life lasts (probably not too long).

Groose was the only good part of Skyward Sword.

Apparently it's quite long, Ars tech said in 8 hours of sleep mode it ate 2% of battery life, so 4 hours per % assuming accuracy and it drains consistently so 400 hours on sleep from full charge, given best estimates.

Polygon fucked up and put up their BotW preview early, I didn't find out through reading the website. the only real info to gleam from the leak is that boomerangs exist as regular weapons and they return to the point where you fired them not to your current point, they even have the functionality of previous zelda games, they are also melee weapons, so it's those whack ass african looking things.

I hope Polygon gets fucked for fucking up, because I fucking hate those cucks.

There's reports now that the release version doesn't have the same framedrop issues that the demos had. Though Erik Kain tweeted that there's still a bit of occasional slowdown, so I'll be interested in seeing Digital Foundry's final performance analysis.

Pretty sure the forced sleep mode kicks in at 5%.

Proof if needed that if you want good videogames you have to do them yourself.

I'll believe it when I see it, but that sounds good, maybe for those playing the WiiU version the performance would have been stabilized too, probably not when blowing things up though, I doubt that has been fixed.

Is that loss?

2.5 HOURS

Sorry, if you want good scores today, you need to suck Jew cock, Nintendo.

"It's okay when Sony does it"

So is the preview embargo lifting at 6am (pacific) like the Switch did yesterday? If it is there's only about 15 minutes now. Probably all kinds of new video to pour over soon.

You can already read Bolygon's review, they said it was the hardest Zelda game so far, but it's Bolygon.

What the hell are you talking about? The Vita sold like shit and at least the Vita has aesthetics going for it. The switch is fugly as hell.

Are you blind?

Yep it was 6am. All kinds of new shit up guys. Get watching and reading.

Nice, just watching some now, I'm kind of glad that they still can't show much of the game, I kind of hope that even reviews are quite limited in what content can be shown.

>or for that matter, anything, but especially difficulty

Daily reminder that even their own made fun of them for their Doom gameplay.

He got two games over there, m8. The first of which being alright

The animations in the game are fucking excellent, the enemies and npcs have character, the kind of character you just don't see anymore.

English isn't your first language yes?

Unless you jerry rigged your Vita to a car battery your full of shit, I own 2 original model Vita's you get 4-5 hours tops playing a psp or psone game and barely over 3 if your playing actual Vita software.

It isn't, what did I fuck up though? I suppose the comma before "anything" was unnecessary.

pls no bully

Your grammar is fine, it's the the order of your wording that's un-American and absolutely disgusting. GTFO my board, you damn commie.

I said "but it's bolygon" at the end implying that their opinion isn't particularly valuable.

You used the second mene arrows incorrectly.

Fuck Nintendo

Scheduled NPCs that move about in town, go home at night, go to work during the day and react to the weather confirmed.

So Nintendo have finally caught up to Elder scrolls oblivion?

No Nintendo did this in the 90s, they are just going back to doing it again.

You mean like almost every 3D zeldo released since Ocarina.

In most this is done automatically, you can't watch NPCs go home at night, they just appear in their homes at night, it's a big difference.

I'd suspected that this would be the case since the first preview when the NPCs ran away when the Guardian showed up but now I got absolute confirmation that this is the case. Hey it's interesting, whens the last time someone said they would make a dynamic open world and it was actually dynamic.

People will shit on this game for being like Skyrim, but thing is most of them are just newfags trying too hard to fit in. Skyrim wasn't inherently bad because of its open world and psuedo-dynamic reactions, it was shit because it was designed around the pretensions of being an RPG. They wanted the best of both worlds, a game where you level up your stats and create your own character, but also a game you can enjoy at your own pace without telling the player "no".

Skyrim was a pack of potential hindered by its obligation to be an RPG. They HAD to have leveling, they HAD to have skills, and they HAD to have inventory systems/quests/etc. It was a game with an identity crisis, no consistent vision. It was clear the developers didn't want to make an RPG, so we got some weird inconsistent hybrid that just wasn't fun.

BoTW is a game with no pretensions other than being an Open-World action-adventure game. They are not limited by any meaningless labels and they can create cool areas without having to worry about level scaling or if the player is high-level enough to take on a dungeon. Honestly, I think the Zelda formula would do well in an open world game, we already came close with TWW and sorta Twilight Princess.

That's only some of it's issues, personally I think it's because the developers only vision for the game was "lots", Skyrim has lots of content but none of it is meaningful or well defined and there is little consideration going into why content exists.

youtube.com/watch?v=3v5XP4TnIBM

Not even mentioning Horizon… If Zelda doesn't get a 20/10 score there, you should never takes scores seriously again. Never again.

True, but again, that's another hindrance of it being an RPG. Skyrim wanted a bunch locations that didn't build on the setting or have any contextual value like Morrowind or Fallout: New Vegas did, making the world less believable. This isn't really an obligation in Zelda because world-building isn't really a big aspect in the series as thematical consistency is.

Now that you mention it, I suspect from a gameplay perspective, BoTW might be harmed by this, too. There's only so much content you can pack in an open-world game, especially one without in-depth RPG elements because you can't just block certain playstyles from completing one cave and doing another.

Also, I had ANOTHER dream last night.
…
I thought this was worth sharing.

Within the week we will be able to tell.

But in all fucking serious it sounds tight as all fuck.

There is a blood moon which stops enemies from being able to die

S-source?

Where is this information being given out.

metro.co.uk/2017/02/24/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-hands-on-preview-eye-opener-6470487/

I just watched a bunch of vids and can't remember which one briefly mentioned the boss that stalks the player.

There's also a clip of a Moblin(?) throwing a bokoblin skeleton as weapon. I like the idea of large enemies using large objects as weapons a lot.

That's fucking cool. The enemy AI is supposed to use nearby things like fire in combat a lot.

The AI in this game is competent, have a variety of options and they don't do the stupid casual shit where they'll only attack you one at a time.
This game is remarkable for having AI that actually has some I to it.

This is the kind of polish you just don't see anymore, not just making something look good but making something look good and making it relevant to the gameplay.

I already know how I'm going to feel when playing this game.

Don't know if I like the color scheme of the enemies so far. I know blue/red/purple shit has been Zelda standard for a while now, but they look really unintimidating and really childish like in TWW.

Pre order cancelled.

Jesus. The autism and expectations in this thread will be your undoing.

Here's some links to some of the more interesting videos (i.e. not showing us stuff we've already seen a thousand times).

All I've really found so far. Seems to be if you want good stuff and people who will push the envelope of the embargo, find smaller channels.

If you want to ride shit like that play nier automata, this is a viral thread for a bad game.

FUCK OFF THIS WILL BE THE GOTY YOU PIECE OF SHIT

No games have ever made such an experience like this. It's like I'm in the game, a full immersion mind you. I get to be Link and will have fun whether you like it or not.

SO FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR P$4

Breddy gud.

How much is Sony paying you to try and slant opinions towards Zelda before Horizon comes out, Schlomo?

Know your place, Sonygger, go back to playing your nogames console.

It's like he didn't even need to try.

tbqh you're being worse than

different strokes. my hype dropped when i heard about paid online.

Oh well, I got girahim, Ganondorf rocking two swords+magic+trident, and that's pretty much all I needed

...

...

...

Leave, Canada.

Wasn't this supposed to release with the Switch console too? Why is it releasing before the new console is released?

Nigger are you retarded? It's the preview, not the full game

I don't keep up with console games much anymore.

the one that isn't part of the majority was Majoras mask, when someone else thought they'd try some snark and said something retarded about catching up to oblviion I mentioned that Nintendo had done this in the 90s, I wonder what game I was talking about.

I always thought it was 99, oh well.

...

Link is CUTE!

Game has cute girls, can't wait for it to come out so I can get some high quality screenshots and draw totally respectable images of the girls of Hyrule

I was partially wrong about the blood moon, it's purpose isn't to make it so enemies can't die during it, although we don't know if they don't die during it but in Breath of the Wild enemies you kill stay dead, until the Blood Moon resurrects them.

It's nice that this place respects women in such ways, there just aren't many places on the internet that treat women the way that they should

That blood moon shit sounds cool as fuck.

That's pretty cool. Do we know if it also resurrects the world bosses/mini bosses?

The guy who talks about it who appears to be a researcher on the topic says "monsters come back to life, no matter how many times you've defeated them." Personally I'm not sure if I want the bosses to come back, some of the over world ones sound like it's going to be a slog to kill them just once.

If I post tha .webm it's definitely not from cuckchan, but sometimes they may have no sound, because not every .webm needs fucking sound

I like when game universes actually have a perfectly reasonable explanation for things like enemies respawning.

Breath of the Wild is doing so much things well it's scary.

Right now, somwhere in the world, a spic is playing this game and I'm not.

Looks like fucking garbage. And man, how does the Dock make the game look WORSE than Portable mode? Did they gimp TV mode to show off how good portable looks?? what the fuck?

also

shouldnt you Nintenshills be in the Horizon threads shitting about pop-in and 30fps, pretending to be PCucks

Moments like this are adorable.

Leak when?

...

someone who got his switch 2 weeks early openned it up as soon as he got it, so heres to hoping it gets Emulated faster than the WiiU is.

With cemu it could look a bit better with the 1080p/4K graphics packs and the fps, that's if it even runs at all on release.

...

sage makes it so it doesnt bump the thread you newfag.

reported for off topic and shilling

so does the Wii U rune at 60 or 30? Also, any hint yet on just how bad the localization is?

also, after some of the stuff posted in the thread, I find myself fighting back hype… still probably won't buy it till some anons thoroughly beat it though.

you're less than a spic
deport yourself

no version runs at 60.

Switch is 30 with drops to 20 while DOCKED and apparently the WiiU version is even worse.

So on saltwatch, the next guy who said they were going to leak the tik was fake, or he got fired and managed to leak the US tik, unsure, probably fake, there was also some other guy who claimed to work at Game in the UK and he gave out another fake tik.

I am personally enjoying the build up to Breath of the Wild on so many levels

I have seen nothing wrong with the games localization at current point, just your typical zelda writing.

Just pirate it, who cares.

It would kind of suck if I like it and it gets a short print though, especially seeing as the Wii U is being worked out and there's no way I'm buying a switch.

just wait for emulation or play it at the house of your autistic friend who buys every Nintendo console that we know everyone has.

thats how I played Sm4sh

Unless you are looking to buy it a year from now on WiiU you should be fine, I don't know how fast was the GC release of TP phased out, I brought that one in 2007 on GC.

I'm going to sound like a huge faggot but I doubt it.

for whatever reason that completely slipped my mind. I'll do that, and she has a projector so that'll be nice.

Just pirate it, run it on Cemu or if you have a WiiU pirate it on that, it looks like the kind of game you wrap yourself in a big blanket and play it all day.

theyre nintendrones. Trust me, my friend was so desperate for attention, he lent me his WiiU for a month and it collected dust after I got bored of Splatoon for a week.

The only way the world will be good is if it has neat stuff in it
A bunch of copy/pasted teleporters containing 5 minute challenges that were all clearly built out of a universal construction set to slap that shit together as fast as they could doesn't exactly scream "meaningful content"

At worst it's going to be a normal ass 7 dungeon zelda game with a big sandbox to traverse in between, which isn't an awful thing for a game to be, but still

The game is far more than that, just watch some gameplay.

Yeah, pretty meaningless to the open world
Especially considering the aforementioned teleporters that could technically be placed fucking anywhere, separating them entirely from the worldspace
The game's got tons of cool sandbox shit but I don't think the sense of discovery and adventure will live up to the first game

The character improvements are pretty necessary, it's additional stamina and hearts I'd say not being one shot constantly and being able to climb longer are pretty relevant, and not all the content is useless, armor doesn't degrade and heavier armors have downsides making them not optimal in all situations

The 120 fast travel locations aren't particularly valuable since your horse doesn't warp with you, it's more of an easy recall to those locations. Not having your horse warp with you really makes only a few warp locations near stables actually viable, unless you really want to walk everywhere.

Are you even trying?

We will see if it's actually any good in a weeks time.

Nigga I didn't even get into fast travel, but that's actually a good point
Hell yeah I really want to walk everywhere, considering most of the game is centered around that, I want to explore the world climbing up shit and shieldboarding down it not blowing through it all on a horse completely separated from the world around me

I hope all of you console nintendo fags die in a fire.
Kill yourself.

5.5 days

Can we just take a moment to be thankful that Nintendo didn't implement that fucking retarded motion blur that you see in every fucking game these days and that the use of depth of field is actually correct and doesn't blanked objects in the distance as a cheap way to mitigate poor draw distance and aa, but is used to focus the player onto the action during combat.

The last game I recall having to deal with the motion blur was DS3, but thankfully I'm not a cuckold and I played it on PC and turned that shit right the fuck off.

That thumbnail works better than the .webm itself.

I fucking hate motion blur, it's disgusting.

Its the worst, if games don't have an option to turn it off I normally drop in then and there.

...

majora's mask always felt pretty open world to me and that game was tits

Yep, cute cute cute.

This gives me morrowind-esque feels

I came into this thread to do what you already did.

Im back.

...

Oh Snap

I WANT TO BELIEVE

Post some goddamn physics webms

...

I saw one of Link using that power on a metal crate and then climbing onto it, you can definitely use that to cross large gaps.

...

...

...

...

...

Holy shit, this game is 6 years too late.
Nintendo are fucking hacks.

...

I'm glad that there's some sexuality to the people in Breath of The Wild. There's a good deal of dialogue in the game that lets you know these are actual humanhylian? beings with blood pumping in their loins. Enough that it's on the ESRB's rating for the game, in fact.
Time to draw a bunch of Paya and then put it out on launch day.

I bet it's not even somewhere that lewd, I bet it's on her shoulderblade or the bottom of her foot or something

Cute

That chick is Sheikahn, the grey hair is the giveaway.

Probably but there is this.

That sounds like a neat little addition to a game, have a character follow you throughout the whole game and have them always be hard to notice without being told of their presence
then as the game goes on and the story gets darker and the battles get harder, you notice it, and then start noticing it always watching you but you can't catch it
The more you try to catch it or stare, the closer and more aggressive it starts behaving
Eventually if you didn't leave it alone for a while and kept pursuing it, it would become a vicious boss separate from the story. Turns out it it's a worse monster than the final boss and it kidnaps and eats lost adventurers who lose sight of their goal for too long

really? thats pretty cool and creepy, I know alot of things would chase you and try to kill you in games like nemesis in RE but I cant remember some weird thing following you around and just looking at you.

link is a faggot, JUST LIKE YOU!

I love her Holla Forums

Gerudo women were made to be sex slaves. Prove me wrong
Pro Tip: You can't

But that's not true at all, Gerudo women see Hylian men as potential sex slaves, they used to abduct them to turn them into semen dispensers.

I think you have the right idea, but you're very very very mixed up on one particular detail…

Nut

It's like some bizarre middle ground between the Gamecube and the N64. But the worst problem is the shitty art direction. It looks so fucking boring. Consider what some other nip faggots did with less than half the resources.

There's two Ganons

I already know that

Mother of kek the fucking frame rate. I still don't understand how this gen is somehow worse than the last.
If you faggots think the nintendrones are already bad, wait until they go apeshit once this bad game releases and nintendo unleashes the shills. This board is crashing with no survivors on release date.

holy shit

5 days and 4 hours

Some clear shots of at least half the map. I think those coves above Lanayru in the east is probably where the Zoras are. Can even see something that looks like a big fish in the middle of one. All kinds of other shit here that I don't feel like posting. imgur.com/a/jo0Yn

I just pulled my WiiU out of retirement expressly to mod and download Breath of the Wild onto. I haven't touched the thing in like two years so I figured there might be something that had come out on it in the mean time to download and muck around with.
There was not.
There is literally nothing on this piece of shit I care about. What happened Nintendo?

There's deluded hyperbole and then there's this

fun fact not a single showcase picture of a television is real, the manufacturers make the screens display green then edit in an image. It means they can fake images looking natural and they avoid artifacts related to imperfect sync of refresh between camera and screen.

>it literally makes you lose track of time by wasting time doing too much shit that isn't important

No-one will probably see this but Breath of the Wild does appear to have multi region audio, here's Nineverything changing the system language and having it change from English to Japanese.

Better rev up those petitions.

Why? The Switch is region free

This has been confirmed for awhile and it's still just as retarded now as when we first learned about it. The fact all the data is there and Nintendo simply refuses to let you interchange voice over and subtitles however you want. Is simply ridiculous. This is made even worse because we're already hearing from people reviewing and writing early impressions. The English VA is (just like we thought) mediocre at best. And seeing as we can't turn the voices off. I'd much rather listen is something I can't understand. Then be constantly annoyed at awkward weird line delivery.

gamingbolt.com/will-the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wilds-release-affect-horizon-zero-dawns-sales

Take a look at what Gamespot’s Peter Brown, who just last week awarded Horizon a glowing 9/10, had to say. “…I really liked it [referring to Horizon Zero Dawn]. But playing Zelda is really making me question- jeez. Horizon is a great game, it’s a fantastic game. But next to this, it’s like, shoot! If I was to make a list about what I like about both these games, the Zelda one would be as twice as long, I think.”

Brown isn’t the only one pointing how Zelda appears to already have made Horizon obsolete, either. “Having just completed it, we couldn’t help but think of Horizon Zero Dawn while playing Breath Of The Wild, and how simplistic it now seems compared to Zelda,” said GameCentral in its overwhelmingly enthusiastic preview of the game.

I know this isn't really relevant, but I'm enjoying this.

Breath of the Wild, it's the game that just keeps on fucking giving and it isn't even out yet.

Rev up the petition to split up audio and text.

I don't think there was any confirmation that all copies would contain all languages, I guess this isn't 100% confirmation either, but the US copy clearly has Japanese audio.

And yeah that is a problem so run a petition and request they patch it, so when the Master's quest DLC releases you can play it like that.

No-one will probably see this so don't tell anyone.

There's no physical release for the Wii U?

There's nothing on amazon. I guess I will have more luck elsewhere.
