And to make matters worse, those screenshots look like turd sandwhich.
Sounds awesome.Quote:

The 3 games you mentioned I haven't even gotten yet and I think they would satisfy me among the other console releases for a good couple of months. Besides it seems to have all the genre's covered.
RPG
Baten Kaitos
Paper Mario 2
Action
Viewtiful Joe 2
Alien Hominid
Resident Evil 2
Racing
Need for Speed Underground 2
Shooter
Starfox Assault
First Person Games
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Goldeneye Rogue Agent
Call of Duty: Finest Hour
Party/Multi
Mario Party 6(not a huge fan of the games though unless they stopped already)
Mario Power Tennis
You can "LAWL" the list as much as you want but I'm fine with these as long as the quality is kept high and has a good amount of replay value.
As for the Zelda shots I think they look awesome. The "blurry" field distance started with Wind Waker really and it looks like this game will have a huge draw distance in the first shot. Not a huge fan of the effect but I can tolerate it more than pop-up.
I'm hoping this Zelda team will get in some of the stuff GTA: San Andreas is being lauded for such as the customization of Link and a huge map. I'm pretty happy that they stuck with the horse as the sailing in WW really turned me off to it as nice as it seemed.
Here's the last shot IGN had:

Yeah, it's not like it has any bump mapping up the wazoo(or at all) but it looks consistent and the textures are the most detailed in any Zelda game so far especially Link.
You fail to understand that when many people like something, they want the sequel or related game to be nearly an identical experience? Dragon Quest is insanely popular in Japan for a reason and its not because the character designer is the same guy behind DBZ.Quote:

Slip, what do you mean by the current generation? Can you actually not find anything good about TOoT?
I didn't even like it when it came out, and now that it looks like ass, I have even more reason not to like it. So no, I can't.Quote:

Zelda has had the exact same story and the exact same gameplay since he first hit the NES, exluding CD-i games. Those were about as "fresh" as the series got after day 1. I fail to understand how people can accept the same crap for years and then act as if Nintendo is innovative in the process.Quote:

The Zelda series isn't too innovative. But you don't have to be innovative to make a game with awesome gameplay. See: Ocarina of Time.
While Halo is still a fairly new franchise, Halo 2 is basically more of the same with more developed story and expanded gameplay ideas. Both Halo and Zelda don't innovate all that much but do well what they usually do.Quote:

I'm not sure how much you enjoyed the franchise before it jumped to 3D or even if you liked it at all but I guess it's just not your cup of tea.

Same story? Yea, its a fucking action adventure game ... "saving the girl/kingdom" is pretty much the story for every game out there ... what do you want?
The posters that pretend like Nintendo has raped thier family dogs have encouraged others to jump on the bandwagon ... then they post stupid shit.
Oh I'm sorry. Once every 10 or so years they bring innovation such as....3D. The series, aside from your fucking inventory never changed until Zelda: OoT, and now we're locked back in your typical Zelda phase except now, instead of every solution being "Push this block" it's "Hit that painfully obviously spot on the wall with your projectile". Thanks for innovating Nintendo!Quote:

I totally agree.
