But I know how Josh responded, and it wasn't that.More like
The topography is different at various points. The bottom of the image has a common v shaped cliff portion that's perfectly aligned so you can tell the picture is in the same spot, but most of the surrounding rock looks different. Plus there's the square platform to the left, then on the right side everything is different. The lake island has a completely different shape, and theres a plateau with Nazca lines where there was just rocky cliff in BOTW.I don't see anything here other than a sky island floating on top of where Rito Village is
I'm sorry but the topography looks exactly the same.The topography is different at various points.

yeah the only way it’s negative now is if you assume anyone disappointed with the trailer has already definitively decided they are not going buy the game or to tune into any more of its marketingThe game isn't out yet. People are talking about it, primarily about how they want to know X, Y and Z about the game. That's the purpose of marketing. No such thing as bad publicity.
If the perception is negative once the game is out then that's a problem but that's not what is happening yet.
God I hope nothas this thread mentioned that the logo has been a tire the entire time
I think this car shit is the main hook
If I was at a computer I'd circle the differences but there are lots of differences in the shapes and locations of rock formations. Plus the Nazca lines on the right, and the square platform on the bottom left. You see those, right?I'm sorry but the topography looks exactly the same.
The only difference I see is in the middle slightly off center to the right where a sky island is blocking the view of a and Rito Village. You can even see yellow trees on there like the other islands. Time of day and clouds obscure other stuff but the geography is exactly the same. I legit do not know what you are seeing.
When most of these shots are from extreme heights that's exactly what you'd call it.Pixel hunting for changes in rock formations isn't what I would call dramatic changes.
I see no changes in the rock formations, no. I see the mural thing and a sky island obscuring the terrain. The land from BotW looks untouched.If I was at a computer I'd circle the differences but there are lots of differences in the shapes and locations of rock formations.

It’s perfectly reasonable to not like the recent trailer or be concerned about the game.
That said, PLEASE stop using the “6 years of dev time!?!” as part of your critiques as if there wasn’t a global pandemic during that time that significantly impacted game development efficiency, especially in Japan.
Remember when on February 19, 2020, people were arguing weither or not Animal Crossing: New Horizons would have a museum or even a Nook shop ?I genuinely can’t remember the last major Nintendo game that we knew less about within three months of launch, excluding games announced during COVID. This is absolutely an anomaly for them.
There’s a significant difference between hiding key elements and hiding the entire game direction. We knew plenty about how New Horizons would play before the direct. Not everything, but enough to have a good idea of what the general game loop was, as well as the iterations made on the formula. That’s not really the case with Tears of the Kingdom, and you have to analyze the trailers in-depth to glean anything substantial.Remember when on February 19, 2020, people were arguing weither or not Animal Crossing: New Horizons would have a museum or even a Nook shop ?
It's not that unusual for Nintendo. They start to agressively promote their games one month prior to release.
Hell, their last game, Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, got really secretive until release. They didn't announce paradox Pokémon prior to release, and that's one of the main new feature/gimmick of the game.
I feel TotK will also be really secretive. BOTW kinda was too. Many stuff were kept secret. And it was a better experience because of it.
I want to explore.
I don't really think the vehicle building precludes exploration? If anything it would supplement it.
Can you elaborate?This might be a cliché at this point, but Eldin Ring killed 99% of my interest in TotK. Also, wish it was a whole new thing not tied to BotW
Eldin Ring had the exploration elements I like from BotW but with more fun stuff to do and see.Can you elaborate?
Damn you guys really make me want to play Elden Ring lol. I've never even touched a Soulsborne though.Eldin Ring had the exploration elements I like from BotW but with more fun stuff to do and see.
This is the new ‘no towns’. Just because Nintendo haven’t show content doesn’t mean it’s not there.
They’re trying to show as little as they possibly can get away with. We’ve likely just seen the very tip of the iceberg with what we have seen so far. Almost as if they’ve just shown the first realm of ALttP with no hint of what comes after the master sword.
I like this approach since I want that feeling of discovery again without having seen a ton of stuff months before release. I don’t need to see what’s to come because I already know it will be great.
This is the sequel to one of the most critically acclaimed game series and one of the greatest games of all time - if not the best. It has been in development for a long time and represents the biggest ever gap between major Zelda titles in the history of the franchise. They’re not going to disappoint.
Let your imagination fill in the blanks. The likely outcome is that Nintendo’s own imagination and what they ultimately deliver, will be far grander than whatever you realistically dream up.
May the way of the Hero lead to the Triforce
This is so silly lol, like yeah, rewriting a scenario where you're disappointed with the marketing to not disappointed with the marketing to prove that the marketing is good.But I know how Josh responded, and it wasn't that.
I don't like this post lol
This is not the 'new' anything, this is people who think the marketing is bad. 'Cause it is. A lot of people aren't looking for more of the same, but we also want to know what is different, and how it's executed. Additionally, we want to know what, if anything, changed with regards to things we didn't like about BotW.

I'm pretty sure that in six months, having bad marketing will still be badI don’t like yours and not only that but time will prove me to be 100% correct.
You’ll get the answers you require before release.
It is, in fact, not childish to be disappointed by a trailer for a product, it is a normal experience that normal people have, and you need to be able to cope with that.Look I get being disappointed in the trailers or wanting the marketing to be different but this restless attitude I'm seeing in this thread is almost childish. If you're not sure the game will be good, if you fear the game will be Breath of the Wild 1.2 after 6 years of dev, if you have so little faith in the Zelda team that your default attitude when seeing a vague trailer is to assume the worst, then just wait. The answers will come, whether in a new trailer, or in previews and reviews closer to launch. It seems easier to accept this than to indulge in doomposting, which is frankly what some of these posts read like.

It’s only bad in your opinion. For many people it isn’t. The marketing campaign isn’t complete. Far from it actually.
They’re trying to create a great air of mystery around this title almost similar to the trailers for The Force Awakens which purposely tried not to give much away.
All the answers you require will be here before you have the game. For me, having the mystery around the game is a huge positive since so much media spoils so much of what’s to come these days.
Ultimately, like I’ve said, this is a sequel to arguably the greatest game of all time. I’ll be there day one to continue that journey and don’t need to be spoon fed about what I’ll be doing.
I mean I am disappointed with the trailer, so obviously that's not what I am talking about at all. I think my post was pretty clear about that.It is, in fact, not childish to be disappointed by a trailer for a product, it is a normal experience that normal people have, and you need to be able to cope with that.
Then focus more on the "normal behavior" part of my post, because no one is being childish.I mean I am disappointed with the trailer, so obviously that's not what I am talking about at all. I think my post was pretty clear about that.
Marketing being bad is your opinion though, and it's not one supported by the evidence. Good marketing gets people talking about the product and wanting to know more, that's precisely what's happening here.I'm pretty sure that in six months, having bad marketing will still be bad
Substantiate that claim would youMarketing being bad is your opinion though, and it's not one supported by the evidence. Good marketing gets people talking about the product and wanting to know more, that's precisely what's happening here.
Very arguable indeed!Ultimately, like I’ve said, this is a sequel to arguably the greatest game of all time.
Yeah it ain't even top 5 ZeldaVery arguable indeed!
It's no Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training, I tell you that.Very arguable indeed!
