Chindie Posted March 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2017 So this is being considered Greatest of All Time stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted March 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2017 I just watched the IGN review and I have to say, it looks incredible and right up my 'open world' street. Not incredible enough for me to consider buying a Switch or Wii U though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 2, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2017 @PieFacE Supposedly runs pretty well on the Wii U, some frame rate drops in scenarios with lots going on (fighting a bunch of enemies in a forest in the rain for example) but otherwise fine seems to be the common experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 If this is that good on the Wii U I'll be getting it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Yeah, I read it runs ever so slightly better at an ever so slightly higher resolution on the Switch. Which is hardly surprising seeing as BotW was developed for Wii U, not Switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2017 If Nintendo started releasing their games on other platforms I do wonder if they'd make more or less money considering they'd lose out on hardware sales no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2017 I am seriously considering a Switch just for this. Probably just sell it as soon as it's finished. I wish I could play Zelda on other consoles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Despite never having played a Zelda game, I am really looking forward to this tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Gonna buy it for Wii U even though I'm thousands of miles away from my Wii U. Looks jaw dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 2, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2017 So yeah, this is pretty good. It's Zelda, and it isn't Zelda. It's what Zelda should be in a world that moved on from Ocarina of Time. Truly open world, pinching ideas from various other series, but... Nintendo-ing them. I have got the feeling I had playing Ocarina as a kid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Nintendo just know how to create smiles. I can't put my finger on it, but I think their use of color is masterful. Prob gonna end up getting one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted March 2, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'll also say that even with an hour or so played there's things here people, and I count myself in that, might hate. The weapon durability, the importance of the stamina bar, the scarcity of health (no more chopping some grass to get hearts if you're in trouble) and the unforgiving (certainly for Nintendo) nature of it will turn people off I think.

Chindie Posted March 2, 2017 Author VT Supporter Share Posted March 2, 2017 I just stumbled on a couple of enemies around a fire by some crates. As I was fighting my axe broke, and with the enemies dead I discovered my sword couldn't break open the boxes. Next best thing? Let's see if boxes burn... Wait. The boxes don't line up with the fire. I can't just push them into the fire in a straight line like every Zelda ever. In real life if I needed to turn the box I'd push it off centre so it span a little... It works! Awesome. And the boxes burn! Yes!.. Hang on, does everything burn? Shit... No wait, it cooked the apples inside! Great, extra health recovery too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks gorgeous. Only thing I've noticed is some middle distance draw and pop in. I can't see the Switch being that much better and frankly for me the resolution bump doesn't matter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Probably pick this up in a few months time for the Wii U. Not sure I can justify getting this right now, whilst putting hours into Overwatch, Horizon Zero Dawn and ME Andromeda over the next few months. This is a good time to be a gamer!

hogso Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Love the idea that you can go through the whole game being a veggie, if you so wish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever's saying that must be beyond retarded. We seem to be living in an age where people are extremely quick to call things 'the great of all time'.
