ladies and gentlemen

the MGSV of fantasy RPGs

If NX is like $300, this game could convince me to upgrade. I really don't want to have to play this on Wii U. This gameplay combined with great visuals would be AMAZING.

 

[RoadHazard]

Me too. Is there a compelling reason to wait for NX? We don't really know much of anything about NX yet.

Well, it will obviously be a significant better version of the game, at least visually. We're already seeing the U's shortcomings out in full force here, with terrible pop-in, barren landscapes in the distance, poor textures, etc. Not saying this doesn't look nice, but the NX version should look pretty amazing.

 

[LordOcidax]

Fuck. Take my money please.

 

[eyeball_kid]

There is probably an open sequence that isn't in the demo. It seems Nintendo isn't talking story right now.

And I'm glad. I didn't want to miss all the new footage for fear of story spoilers.

 

[sfried]

I guess I'm just hoping that you will see more in this world but they purposefully removed it from this E3 build in order to not spoil things but that may just be wishful thinking on my part.

I feels it's more like the latter. There have been numerous E3 demo's that have been purposefully gimped to prevent further progression.

 

[Matbtz]

Game of E3 2016 !!

 

[Galang]

I would've liked a little more of the set up of the story other than just waking up to this world.

This is exactly what people have been wanting for the past decade though.. just dropping you into the world without a bloated tutorial. I think it's perfect. I'm sure the actual game will have an intro to go along with it too, but even without one i'm good.

 

[PillarEN]

Zelda is not Shadow of the Colossus. Besides, the giant world was the worst part about that game.

Meet me somewhere. I loved traversing the forbidden land. Even on my 6th playthrough I realized I was visiting places I hadn't before.

 

[Brinbe]

Yay Chiko

 

[Altazor]

"I'm not destroying anything this time"

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU CHIKO

 

[Chaos17]

My heroooooooooooooooo <3

 

[MrPhiliasfrog]

The game feels like you were playing an Studio Gilbi movie , and that is great !!!
Has Nausicaa vives ...

So much this! I can't believe everything I'm seeing!

 

[Kevtones]

They're totally reading GAF!

 

[Pandy]

Funny you say that because Aonuma kinda replied personaly to this: "I don't won't to spoil your fun so no infos about story and towns will be seen at this E3".

I swear to god I though : "did he just replied to GAF ?"

They are calling Chico the destroyer, they are reading this for sure.

 

[GODDAMN-ONI]

I'm really enjoying what I'm seeing but I am a little worried about how vastly the world looks but feels very lifeless. So far with all that we've seen its been just big vast areas with nothing really in them besides small encampments of enemies and random treasures to find (and small shrines). They have stated several times today that towns and people are in the game but I'm worried that they will be secluded to those towns and you won't see many people out in the actual world, this works in older Zelda titles because the world itself isn't very big (not anywhere near as big as this is anyway) but when you have such a huge and open world it needs to have things that populate it. I guess I'm just hoping that you will see more in this world but they purposefully removed it from this E3 build in order to not spoil things but that may just be wishful thinking on my part.

this one of my biggest worries. I actually didn't enjoy anything they showed so far and very conflicted that so many thinks that alot of people enjoy this. I may be super wrong and if that's the case sure whatever but right now I will probably just skip this game.

 

[Luigi87]

lol

Time until Chiko actually does destroy something?

stream looks a lot better now

welp spoke too soon

 

[Kissenkopf]

Someone needs to make a gif of that entire part, including the Bokoblin on the horse getting blown the fuck up.

Yeah, I was laughing out loud like an idiot when I saw that!

 

[kizmah]

My jaw is on the floor. That horseback fight against the guardian just did me in. Everything I've seen of this game so far (and that's basically everything shown so far) points to this being the Zelda Nintendo have always dreamed of doing. The ambition shown today is absolutely mindblowing. The wait is going to be devastating.

 

[Octavianus]

Wolf Link looks so cute with this games artstyle. I migh actually have to get Twilight Princess HD after all...

 

[VendettaRed07]

Probably when they reveal the NX.

I wish they would just give us a date when they'll tell us more.

I'll take an announcement of an announcement at this point. Nintendo is fucking killing me with their lack of information

 

[Yonafunu]

Could you do the entire field part? The entire Guardian battle, I mean.

 

[Captain Smoker]

Edit: lol, too late. ^^

 

[Ansatz]

YO, HE STARTED A FIRE IN FRONT OF A GUARDIAN, USED THE RISING SMOKE TO CARRY HIM UP WITH HIS PARACHUTE THING, AND FIRED AT THE GUARDIAN WITH A BOW IN MID AIR.

YOOOOOO

I closed the stream an hour ago or so but now is the time I stop following this thread

The only thing I'm down on is the sheer size of the world, not to mention how it will take ages to scale the world vertically in order to explore everything. Apart from that I'm beyond satisfied with the level of environmental interactivity in the overworld and the design of the mini dungeons. I still don't understand why the world has to be this massive but whatever.

[MiamiWesker]

OMG!!!!! Oh my god!!!! Do I hear classic Zelda music?

 

[Omnicent]

this looks good

 

[Ombala]

Any info about the resolution of this?

Damn right.

 

[b00_thegh0st]

I'm pretty sure it'll run similarly to XCX on Wii U.

That would be really nice because XCX rarely drops, but that's clearly not the case on this build.

 

[Kinsei]

If this is the kind of puzzle in a shrine I don't think I need to worry about the dungeons.

 

[Busaiku]

Magnesis too good.

 

[Altazor]

"if I don't like something... I just remove it! Bye bye! ^___^"

oh my god Chiko

This contradict the 4 dungeon theory imo.

I guess at this point I can repeat the rumor.

What I had heard, exactly, was:

- Game is about Technology vs. Magic
- The general themes are "Robots, sanctuary, ruins"
- There are 130 or so mini-dungeons
- There is different weather (did not say if it was dynamic)
- There are four large dungeons

It seems like the 130 mini-dungeons part was true, so I am probably safe trusting the rest now.

 

[Unlucky]

Chiko: "Don't judge me."

 

[Ricker]

How is that going to help her though lol...more room I guess...

 

[MouldyK]

Inside...there's a bit of Chico's Madness in all of us.

 

[Kevtones]

Yo this shrine... So good.


STOP TIME mechanic/item revealed

 

[keakster]

Would pay money for this demo. Or stand in line at Best Buy for 2 hours to play it like they had last year.

 

[MisterGrey3000]

If this is the kind of puzzle in a shrine I don't think I need to worry about the dungeons.

Yeah, this actually looks pretty complex and interesting in it's own right.

 

[Brinbe]

this is already great

 

[Kinsei]

Rewarding you for thinking about your inventory by letting you remove threats? This is amazing.

 

[Reversed]

Lol that flickering leg

 

[Ensirius]

I don't want to spoil myself anymore but I can't get away from this.

They did. It was said during the stream. People and towns were excluded for this stream.

 

[Not]

Lol oh no
