No. The first 20 seconds enticed me, but as it went on and the designs and world looked very similar my hype tempered down.
I am still confident they are holding back tho. But strangely enough the games atmosphere feels more similar to BOTW, than Majora's Mask did to OoT.
And Majora had such a short development time. I won't lie I was hoping for an entire tone shift, but maybe it'll still be there
yeah, MM feels like a new game, reusing assets. There is not much content in the game thats the same, its the assets they reused.
Here its different, they reused the game, and seemingly remixed some and added on top of it.
Tbh I never saw a Zelda trailer with this much negativity. Here, old place and old old place is the same.
The trailer didn't do much for me either. I wanted it to be more like a Zelda game (dungeons, item based progression) and instead they seemed to be double down on the sandbox elements and cars(eww) which aren't my thing.
But anyway, I know I'm not able to skip a Zelda game so I already ordered my OLED Swich(sold my OG one some years ago hoping that Nintendo would launch a revision with better spec) and I believe that if it as good as BOTW, which I like it but less than other 3d Zelda, it already justified my purchase.
TLDR: I will focus on the good stuff and buy the game. Though right now I don't believe it can be a top tier Zelda game.
Also the good thing of having low expectation is that I give the game the chance to impress me.
I wouldn't say I like it more but it's always fun to dissect it.
Yeah, pretty much where im at. not that i wanted to much to get back to old zelda, but the gimicky "uh i can move mining carts through the air" youtube videos never appealed to me, since i was there for exploration and the adventure. Thats what they showed here.
Im still struggling to gather how much of the landmass in air there really is, since its changing from clip to clip. maybe its a lot, maybe not.
They said it was a sequel that started with DLC ideas and expanded quickly beyond that scope. What exactly would be enough to set it apart for you? Not to say they are at that point, I'm not sure they are, myself.
For me its the feel. when i see a screenshot, does it feel like something that i could not think of in BotW? Does it have a different feel?
MM is the best example: it had hess dungeons, a ton of sidequests as a balance, and not a moment there could you say "ok, that looks like OoT". Many of those screenshots clearly look like BotW. The stuff reminds me of the one hit obliterator, or the shrine designs of the dlc shrines.
slightly off, and... designs that i dont buy. the shrines where higher. why? how? practical reasons? no, not really, so why would shikah build them differently? one hit obliterator.. wide weapon, that does not look like a weapon, but still kills in one hit with... a blunt side and mass? so its just magic, but the function did not match the form for me.
Same with this game: the green magic energy is one thing... but green goe that serves literary as magic/high tech glue? weels on a wooden board without an axis...thats not how cars work. the horn weapons on every enemy? how does that make sense in the world, except to be used for a gameplay mechanic?
-------------------------
Overworld bosses in the original BotW trailers felt like they are just roaming the world, naturalistic. The dragon on the bridge? Feels so much more "gamey", like hes there to just block the path for the hero to not get past it... in a game where you literary can fly, swim or climb around it?
I Believe in a great game, and that they will show a lot.
But how did they manage to make ganondorf less menacing every time they show him?
The first one was creepy, the second time was a bad fast cut reiteration of the first that looked dumb, this time...similar, but the voice sounds forced.
-----------------------------
i still like the design of the islands, of tunic link, and am really interested how they handle the underground area (don't make it just big open areas, the point of the underground would be to me somewhat more claustrophobic, like the point where the hinox chases you)
