/vr/ - Retro Games

If you're referring to being beaten as the best Zelda game, that was already done by Twilight Princess.

I wasn't. And it hasn't.

>Putting even a modicum of stock into modern "reviews"

This "Best Zelda EVER!" shit happens every time, certainly with Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, and look how often people talk about those games. By now everybody and their mother knows what a joke video game journalism is, history won't 'cancel out' OOT because someone made a ill-informed, trigger-happy statement to generate clicks.

You're blind as a bat Count Dooku if you can't see BotW is finally a modern day version of OoT. But that's your opinion and I respect it.

The people calling Skyward Sword the best Zelda is a short fucking list.

>modern day OOT

What does that even mean? How can it be a modern day OOT if it's nothing like OOT?

>>3810947
if anything it's a modern day LOZ, which they explicitly cited as the inspiration during the unveiling.

>>3810968
Nothing like OoT? LOL. Show me another game that BotW is LIKE then.

The reason it's a modern day OoT is because it encapsulates all or most of the elements that OoT pioneered. Let's take just the most basal one. Something even you can understand - the geographical foreshadowing. OoT was the first game in history to do this and it's a huge part of BotW. Choosing where you want to go based on sight-seeing. Other games have tried this, but no game has ever really done it well. BotW looks like no other game. It's not obstructed by giant hills, buildings, or empty flatland. There's always something to see. Just like OoT had in its heyday, because it's the only Zelda and probably video game that is procedurally-loaded every other place you go.

Wind Waker>> the islands are too far apart to see.
Twilight Princess>> too land-locked to navigate by sight.
Skyward Sword>> islands are too tiny, and the gameplay mechanic too restrictive.
Breath of the Wild>> a return to OoT basics, in the idea of one seamless uniform world.

BotW is what OoT would be if the N64 had been a little more powerful.

HURRR BASELESS SPECULATION

HURRRRRRRRRR

>graphical foreshadowing

What? You autistic fuck. You know where to go because every fucking character in the game told you where to go and also there's a big glowing mark on your map.

>>3810975
That's just fluff talk. They want to hype you up so you feel like this is a new beginning to the series, by which I mean, they really want this game to sell 30 million copies and Switches.

Before they re-unveiled it, Aonuma said this game was pure OoT. http://kotaku.com/an-update-on-zelda-wii-u-1764000736

I thought you were one of those tatt and cap Zelda fans, but I didn't want to presume so I made my comment more docile. I may be autistic, but you're an imbecile who will never amount to anything. As proven by your non-sequitor of a rebuttal that doesn't apply to OoT.

Protip: Other people in your life probably think as lowly of you as I do now. Sometimes it's best to keep your mouth shut, than to open it and remove all doubt you're a fool.

>>3811024
This is what I get for engaging a Zelda fan. Not even once.

>>3811038
Agreed.

>>3810998
You need to calm down with the superlatives and hyperbole

how does he need to play it to make observations about its topography and camera?

Fucking shills are out of your god damn mind. Just LEAVE and let us have a discussion in peace you inept fuckers.

>>3810998
This was a great post

I wish a Redead would hump my ass raw.

>>3810998
The game is Legend of Zelda: GTA Edition, but I love your shilling. You think you can bother /vr/ with your stupid "guerilla marketing tactics" beyond a few lesser anons. Please.
This is like the umpteenth time we've had to spell this out for the likes of you:
We wanna lurk and post around here in peace,
LEAVE
US
ALONE.
the R in /vr/ means Retro. as in, Switch games AREN'T retro. Take your shilling and pick up artist marketing "techniques" elsewhere. Thank you, good bye.

>>3811075
(You)

>>3811058
I would. Except all those things I said are true.

>>3811013
Did you even read that article? He said BotW was a new beginning for the series, and switched up the formula a bit. He even described it as "going from Japanese food to western-style food". OoT did the same thing back when it came out, and it every 3D Zelda since then has used the OoT formula. Now, they're gonna try being more of an open-world game. The only reason he said it was "like OoT" is that it's switching up the Zelda formula, like OoT did back in 1998.

I don't know how good it's gonna be, but it's certainly gonna be nothing like OoT.

>>3810998
the game isn't even out yet, you fucking mong.

if i wanted a huge bland world to walk through i'd play skyrim.

>>3810998
OoT isn't even the best game to do that. Pic related does it way better.

Also Hyrule Field may as well be the plaza of an amuesment park for the amount of sense it makes for everything to be so visible from there for you to pick where you go.
Which you don't anyway, game is linear as sin. Which isn't even a bad thing really, but seeing landmarks from Hyrule Field is nothing special.
