So, it's not as good as the FMV, but I'm not disappointed by what I've seen. Next up is the delay. This is very disheartening. Microsoft's power house is coming out earlier. Not a good sign. I guess that I'll at least be home for the launch (Thanksgiving break starts the 17th). Guess my options are a bit limited to Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin, though (still don't know if I'll get Pikmin, but it holds a little interest). On to Zelda. The enemies: kinda cool. The environments: could use some work, but not terrible. Link.... uh, Link? Where's Link? Did they forget to put him in this game. What's that? Huh? You're joking, right? THAT'S Link?! Seriously, is this supposed to be Link or a friggin puppet? You know, I'm likely to take a lot of sh*t by saying this, but I don't think the look of this game is really so terrible. I mean, I definitely would've preferred the original Spaceworld footage, but, the more I see this footage, the more I think that it's at least workable. After all, Miyamoto has done some incredible things in the way of gameplay in the past and I've never played a bad Zelda game (only ones missed were Adventure of Link and Oracle of Seasons). But Link looks... well, sh*tty. If they were going for something like this, I think they should've used the type of model they had in the Nintendo Power comics for a Link to the Past or the one they had in Oracle of Ages when he first sees Nayru (for those that haven't played it, in this scene, it switches from the overhead view to one showing Link standing in awe of Nayru's beauty). Well, hoping this one changes in the future...

People might react very negatively about it. Heck, you wouldn't believe how uneasy I felt about watching that video the first time, since it's definitely not what I expected.

Same situation for Majora's Mask. So, for the heck of it, I went back and read IGN's review of it, and just started thinking about some of the technical aspects of it. As IGN said, at some points, the game is keeping track of up to 50 people. That's just incredible. And it's (in my opinion) a very worthwhile addition. The quests for the masks and all the lives that you aid make it a very enjoyable game. If your brother is going to sell it, why don't you just take it instead? After all, you said you didn't play it enough. ;-) - -Satoshi _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp [ To quit the NGamers mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe ] [ NGamers" (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2001 14:21:20 -0400 (EDT) From: Vi On Subject: [NG] Spaceword comments I went to cube.ign this morning and first thing I notice was Link's drawing.

Miyamoto is quoted as saying that the footage is a very early demo, so I'm sure the backgrounds and other such graphics will be added later.

The game's old dark, realistic look has been replaced by a much more stylized, cartoon-like appearance complete with a simplistically designed Link and all-new comedy elements. Designer Shigeru Miyamoto recently explained the company's decision to change the graphic look of Legend of Zelda.

"The video footage of Legend of Zelda we showed at the E3 show was almost identical to the one we first showed at Space World 2000. Actually, we were not lying to you about what we were doing. Well, as a matter of fact, at the time of E3 we were hiding the secret. But one year ago at Space World 2000, we were seriously working on the version of Legend of Zelda you saw at the event. We were repeating so many of Link's experiences, and we were trying to decide on what new direction the new Zelda should take, and after that I began to wonder what the idealistic age of Link is. In a new Zelda, is a grown up Link something I really wanted to pursue?

"As you know, if one product receives rave reviews and becomes a hit, then the next year there are a number of similar games following the trend. A look at the movie industry, or animation made in Japan, they are following a similar trend and in the end only the very enthusiastic movie lovers can tell the difference. But the general public can never tell them apart. And that is what we are most afraid of. So more in detail, what we are now doing is putting emphasis on making our games better than the others and we are not ignoring the importance of making something different.

In the game industry the people that are most sought after are the people with better technology than skill, rather than the people who love to challenge themselves to make something very fun and deliver breakthrough ideas. That kind of situation I really hate. So that's why I told my staff members that they should have more freedom to create anything they like, and at the same time I've been telling other people my idea for Zelda. So we have completed many experiments and this is the result. And I think the video that I showed you today represents the course that we will take with the next Zelda for GameCube. I can tell you that development on the game is making very good progress right now.

One thing I'm afraid of is that people who already saw Link in the very beautiful graphics may be looking forward to the much more sophisticated looking version of him [Space World 2000 footage] in the next Zelda. I do not want to betray them or shatter their expectations, so what we are doing now is making Zelda as unique as possible because uniqueness is something gamers are always looking for. So I can say that we are ready to make that Zelda."
