[SlimySnake]

lol 3 minute direct?

Please dont spoil us Nintendo.

 

[adamsapple]

It's a trailer live stream, not a direct.

 

[Wunray]

The hype has already consumed me and it shall consume you too. I'm ready to dawn my hype train conductor's hat once more.

 

[SCB3]

Yea, no where in the tweet does it mention a direct either

 

[diffusionx]

They can't possibly have spent six years building some sky islands and physics stuff. They need to show some new stuff in this trailer.

 

[Robb]

Misleading thread title though.

Hoping this trailer is as good as the BotW one was.

 

[Spukc]

How bout shut up release game.
My god

You say that as if we’ve gotten a flood of info and a trailer per week or something. We know almost nothing about it still. More info is more than welcome, and needed, imo.

About time they started to advertise it properly.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Not a direct, what's with the false title?

 

[Saber]

Lol 3 minutes?
You guys better hope they don't waste time talking about crap. Also, not a direct is a launch trailer stream.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Why do people call it a Direct? It's an upload of a trailer. It's not a Direct unless it's called a Direct. I don't get it

 

[DKPOWPOW]

Nice, at least they are giving us something.

Though, them saying final pre-launch trailer....

Makes me wonder if we wont see anything else until review copies go out.

 

[Moses85]

Another Trailer to bore me.

Since the second trailer my hype is

 

[justiceiro]

Announcement of a announcement.

 

[Punished Miku]

Tune in tomorrow for my thoughts on the trailer.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Narrative, showing story, they’re going to show menus. Zelda is well known and they don’t want to overwhelm fans.

Already asked for a thread title change, sorry for the inconvinience.

 

[daclynk]

I will take anything Nintendo will give me about Tears of the Kingdom

 

[AJUMP23]

Three minutes is not a direct.

 

[TLZ]

Tears of a trailer.

 

[AJUMP23]

I appreciate the new trailer, but I want 20 minutes of gameplay.

 

[TexMex]

You guys will call anything a "Direct." Nintendo doesn't even need a marketing team at this point, gamers do all the heavy lifting for them.

LOL, I always thought it would be hilarious if a company felt so confident in the awareness of their product(s) that they ceased all advertising, mainly because this was the first Onion “news” article I ever read:

Pepsi To Cease Advertising

PURCHASE, NY—PepsiCo sent shockwaves through the carbonated beverage industry Monday when the multibillion dollar corporation announced that it would cease all advertising of its popular soda product, effective immediately.

[Sleepwalker]

3 minutes? Just preupload the trailer on youtube like normal people lmao

 

[GymWolf]

lol 3 minute direct?

Please dont spoil us Nintendo.

They fuse together 3 trailers of 1 minute each.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

I Hope it's as epic as the final trailer from Botw

 

[kunonabi]

well one last chance to get me interested I guess.

 

[Woopah]

This is their chance to show off more new stuff. I wish it was a bigger demonstration though.

 

[Luipadre]

Please be a good trailer like the botw launch trailer. That was fucking hype

 

[jaysius]

I appreciate the new trailer, but I want 20 minutes of gameplay.

And they want preorders from people that still do that kind of thing.

If they showed 20 minutes even the most zealous Zelda fan would see through this thing.

 

[jaysius]

Well it's using many of the same assets so...

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[Fake]

Strange way of marketing the game, but anw. I was expecting ports from Wii U.

 

[AJUMP23]

What is there to see through. It is more breath of the wild.

 

[Xdrive05]

Three minutes is long for a trailer. I wonder how much will be story vs gameplay/features.

I already know there are lots of new enemy types and, let's call them "elemental themed challenge sections", that will make for a lot of edible crow for the "iT's JUst aN eXpaNsIOn PaSs" crowd. Wonder how much of that they'll show off in a pre launch trailer.

 

[Danjin44]

We getting sate of play for FFXVI and new trailer for TotK in same day?

 

[Trunim]

And we'll wait six more years for extensive dungeons and tunnels beneath the same Hyrule or we get it this time?

 

[Moses85]

Dungeons we will not see ever again

 

[ADiTAR]

This needs to be epic. This needs new music, I'm done hearing the same song from the previous trailers.

I want to be excited.

So you have to wait 6 more years

[hemo memo]

Dungeons here we go. Believe

 

[Guerilla Munch]

Please be a good trailer like the botw launch trailer. That was fucking hype

I just rewatched it, holy shit it I forgot how good it was. Feels were had

 

[Luipadre]

Yep. So far i have 0 hype towards ToTK. Lets hope it changes tomorrow

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Narrative, showing story, they’re going to show menus. Zelda is well known and they don’t want to overwhelm fans.

The last thing anyone needs is footage of menu to sell on whether to buy a game or not. Honestly you’re either going to buy it or you’re not

 

[Danjin44]

I feel bad for people have no hype for it....

As for me.....this year is pure HYPE!

 

[AngelMuffin]

Tears of the Fandom

 

[jaysius]

Difference is those graphics, although not acceptable for 6 years ago, were at least palatable.

Now that the graphics are worse and it looks like they're heavily reusing assets...

 

[Lethal01]

They can't possibly have spent six years building some sky islands and physics stuff.

"Some sky islands" or an entire map in the sky? I can't really judge the islands since we got no idea how much there are.

"physics stuff" was listed as one of the most time consuming elements of BoTW.
I can guarantee it takes more resources than making something like a dungeon.
