This looks sooooo good. Man, it's gonna be a long week.

EDIT: Holy shit at the lightning at the end of the Polygon video.

Okay that's enough for me. On a blackout now. My hype is too high. Need to pass the time until the 3rd.

 

[Air]

Isn't that Nintendo's official channel?

No it's some random youtuber. Lot of spoilers in that video and he breaks embargo. Didn't watch it all though but what I saw is pretty spoiler heavy with weapons and the village

 

[SomTervo]

Yeah this and Horizon in the same week is going to break some of our cards

I'm maxing one out to sneak this in haha

Pretty crazy right? Feels like this year is gonna be one for the books.

Yep. 2015 was hard to beat for me but we'll see how i feel about that in 8 days...

 

[etking]

Not all previews are entirely positive but most of them are good. I wonder if there will be a bad review like the 50 for Horizon which completely killed the Metacricic score. One single bad review is enough for a drastic drop of the overall rating.

 

[JustenP88]

You need eyes to read my post, bro?

"You think this looks like a 2017 game?"

I read your post, looked at the release date (3/3/2017) and assumed you must be confused. I'm just here to help, friend.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Alright two things I already know I don't like.

Spoiler

900

korok seed puzzles. It gives you constant things to do in the overworld, but my god.

Spoiler

900

? Fuck 100% lol

Also the enemy camps are way to convienent for Link. Its like the enemies are saying "Look at these random exploding barrel's for no reason I got here"

I disagree on the korok seed puzzles being a negative but to each their own. But I do agree that some of the enemy camp layouts are just absurd.

"Hey, you two fire chus, wanna hang out near these red barrels with us for a while?"

Isn't that Nintendo's official channel?

Nope. No idea who's channel but they broke the embargo.

What have people been negative on besides the framerate?

 

[WGMBY]

dammit brehs.

FWIW, I'm grabbing both Zelda and Horizon, because they both look great. Might have to wait a bit before I can actually get my hands on a Switch though...

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

God, some of these impressions. Wow.

This and Horizon within days of one another... Yeesh

Tell me about it.
I had a real 2 enter 1 must leave conundrum with these games.

It would be pretty shocking if not a single outlet had a negative thing to say

 

[Twilight Princess]

Why do people put spoilers in a preview thread? I want to find out if i can pet dogs by myself, tyvm.

I didnt saw one preview which wasn't extremly positive. Really...none. and trust me I read and watched a lot today, as I lay ill in bed.

Now I know what Giant Bomb done in the first 25 hours.

 

[casey_contra]

Gravity won't agree.

Makes sense from a processing perspective, rendering all of that at once when dropping in from above would be tough. Just weird seeing the entrances look like they have been in all other Zeldas. But this is a very small sample size haha.

This is the preview thread, in here we discuss and share what the press was allowed to show.

If you think petting dogs is a spoiler you shouldn't be here to begin with.

Can't wait to go to the village dog café.

Lol

 

[Chezzymann]

Is there any extensive videos on stuff outside the great plateau? Only stuff I can find in the OP is like 5 minutes

 

[Megasoum]

Reposting... This thread is going so fast!


So is it confirmed that there's nothing on the game pad screen for the WiiU version?

If so I might try to find a pro controller if I can find a cheap one somewhere.

it's crazy that the two front runners (seemingly) for goty are releasing days apart from each other

I believe it's not used for anything but off tv play.

NiOh and Resident Evil 7.

 

[ortauq]

I want a specific spoiler before I play the game on Switch launch day:
I want to listen to the Soundtrack.
Has the soundtrack leaked yet?

 

[Anticol]

I don't wanna buy the switch just for one game, damn it.

 

[phanphare]

NiOh and Resident Evil 7.

maybe it's just me but the buzz around horizon and zelda seem to be on another level

of course we'll have to wait until they're both...wait for it...out in the wild

 

[Resistance100]

Mario kart, super Mario say hi

 

[TwistedFreeze]

Man, I haven't been this hyped for a game since Brawl. I just need it in my hands at this point as, so far, it seems to be nearly everything I wanted out of a Zelda game

NiOh and Resident Evil 7.

And Nier and Super Mario Odyssey. This year looks like it might be one of the best

 

[Crazyorloco]

read the main quotes. Hype levels rising.

anyone else taking next friday off? lol

 

[Hindl]

let me tell you about a little game called Splatoon

 

[Cucurbitacée]

I don't wanna buy the switch just for one game, damn it.

Buy a Wii U then, it's cheaper.

 

[ckaneo]

No lol. Come on man. Save that day off for monday.

 

[tdwig]

I regret not pre-ordering a switch.

Nobody has the wii u version

 

[AGoodODST]

Finally getting to sit and watch some footage.

Holy shit at the US Gamer video. I thought when he first opened the map it was a huge part of it then he just kept zooming out. This game is fucking huge!

I don't know why the scale has only just hit me lol

I really wanted to work from home, but my copy of Zelda is getting shipped to my office! I'll have to just play around with the OS and such during the day while I wait to actually play the game at home.

 

[Ashby]

What penalty do you suffer for dying, anyway?

 

[WadeitOut]

Barely cheaper. If you don't already have a WIi U it would be silly to buy one now just for This game.

I would expect the same stuff on the Gamepad that was there during E3 demo?

 

[ckaneo]

So nothing?

 

[etking]

The 'The Witness' Meets 'Don't Starve' previewer criticized combat for being repetitive and limited and the need to spend a lot of time collecting food.

 

[LotusHD]

To do that now is just silly imo

 

[Osahi]

I actually think you see of the 2 dungeons in the far directly from the plateau.

Spoiler

Zeltik showed them in the tryout demo.

Didn't notice them at all. You'll probably only recognize them when you know what they are.

If I am right I'll go into my first one the next time I play.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

So nothing?

It had a map and a control guide with no touch capability, which were acknowledged as not going to be in the final version.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

I don't wanna buy the switch just for one game, damn it.

Why not buy it for all the other great Nintendo games coming out in the future?

 

[Dystify]

Is there any extensive videos on stuff outside the great plateau? Only stuff I can find in the OP is like 5 minutes

There's a lot here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za1QfYbgyR0

Note the video may get deleted soon because the stuff they show is still under embargo. Next Thursday we'll see more including dungeons etc.

So there is no need for the Wolf Link Amiibo?

It was already confirmed you can have pets in the game similar to Wolf Link. So yeah, you don't really need the amiibo unless you want a wolf/dog that looks like Wolf Link.

What penalty do you suffer for dying, anyway?

Nothing as far as I'm aware. You'll get placed back to your last (auto) save.

 

[Hindl]

The 'The Witness' Meets 'Don't Starve' previewer criticized combat for being repetitive and limited and said he spent a lot of time collecting food.

There is definitely a simplicity to the combat. You can see that in all the previews, most weapons have a 2-3 hit combo that's the same every time. You can use the physics engine and environment to do some cool shit outside of that, but if you just run up and hit something I can see it being repetitive
