New Zelda pics
 

go link go!!! carry that pig!!

Sweetness. I cant wait for Zelda, looks so great.

"Hey, Kid...would you like to take a walk with me? I've got candy.."



Sorry, It just came to me when i saw that... :D

i dont know about you guys, but i'm lovin the graphical style, it just looks so fun

I think it has far passed my expectations. I cant wait for this game.

*giggles with excitment*

Hee hee hee!


*giggles and skips away*

lol when I typed in my password i typed "nice".

Back to the topic.

Nice!

The Pig! It just made me happy again after reading a diff. article:D;)

It looks like he's gonna throw it on the little kid :D

everything looks great, except for the textures...

but maybe they are suppoused to be crap because of the cell shading but still, the Cube is suppoused to be so good at textures and a lot of games have bad textures sometimes...

Nice pics, but it's hard to compare them to realistic graphics... I wouldn't say it's the best looking game ever.

I thought Link looked kind of disproportianate, but now that I've seen those kids, I realize that Link is probably the most realistic of them all.

Just an observation.

Yeah, hes the most realistic of the kids. And he does not walk as oddly as the spaceworld video.

The game does look pretty good...but best looking game ever? I don't even think it's the best looking cel-shaded game ever...take a look at Zone of Enders 2 for Playstation 2:





Those look much more impressive to me than the Zelda pics...and ZOE2 in video form? WOW

and Jason is right...some of those textures are...bleh:




Take a look at the tree and the grass... :unsure:

Now I'm not saying this game isn't pretty, because I've seen some of those boss batles with the lighting and everything...they're sweet...but I best game ever is far from the truth IMO

i dont disagree with you Stu, but the game does look beautiful. its a style of its own, maybe those blah textures are part of the cel-shaded effect....

*shrugs and walks away*

they're a part of the effect, allright...a bad part of the effect. I mean, why not have nice textures on that tree or on the grass?

Yer but that is a bit of an unfair comparison.

Comparing to robots at war shooting each other, with a kid running around in a field......all in cel shaded form.

That works unfairly in Zelda's favour...

So you can't call one a better looking game than the other because they're different kinds of games? Since Zelda is just 'a kid running around in a field' it can't be compared with other games?

If I were to say that Super Mario Bros. 3 is the best looking game ever, and someone shows me, say, Twisted Metal Black (obviously the better looking of the two) all I can say is "not a fair comparison...one is a car combat game from hell while the other is a plumber running around colorful worlds" and he has no arguement? Bah

See what I'm getting at?

I still hate that look anyway...but it is zelda...

I think the best Zelda games were the overhead ones.

is ZOE2 cell shaded? If yes, is it completely cell shaded?

If its not, then its not at all a fair comparison.

well i dont know if they are part of the effect, i just thought they might be.

1. i thought cell shading was aposed to textures? as in instead of using textures they use cell shades. so they're like totally differnt things. maybe not. doesnt really matter anyway.


couple things to note. (i'll just refer to them as textures. if they are or arent)

It isnt so much that the textures are better on ZOE, is that the things there are more detailed by design that they put the textures on. Zelda (things like Link) arent as detailed to begin with. so it looks much more plain (cuz it is)

2nd. i cant say this for sure. But BASED on past games of both series. Zelda worlds are a whole lot bigger. and prolly for zelda you have to look at the Whole instead of just parts.



Now i dont mind the cell shaded look. some of it looks VERY nice. But i wish they coulda designed the characters a little more like how they were before. like........

Take Dark Cloud for example. it was normal more realistic look as we'll say OOT was for zelda.
Now Dark Cloud 2 is also cell shaded (at least the Characters are. not sure if the whole game is), but now thier characters look are much more nicer looking. still cell shaded. but more anime look to them.

Dark Cloud 2


Note how thoes characters just look much more likable.

if they had done zelda with more of that look and cell shaded. id of LOVED the look.

dont get me wrong. im sure i will love this game. and i Do love the cell shaded look on this Zelda. expecially when it gets to some of the effects. i just wish they coulda looked a somewhat more (whats the word here?) realisically cell shaded?
