Zelda: Twilight Princess Delayed 121

Posted by Zonk from the is-this-it? dept.
Hyrulist writes "Nintendo has announced that its biggest game of the year, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is delayed to 2006. IGN.com has the story. From the article: 'Twilight Princess, developed by Nintendo and directed by Majora's Mask overseer Eiji Aonuma, was previously set to be the company's big holiday game. In fact, analysts expected the game to be Nintendo's single greatest deterrent to consumers potentially interested in Microsoft's next-generation console, Xbox 360, which is set for a November launch. The delay leaves Nintendo without a major holiday release on GameCube."

          When you play Nintendo, you do so for the gameplay, and for the fun. If a game doesn't display gazillions of polygons, it won't matter at all on a Nintendo console.

It seems to me that Nintendo's goal for the revolution is not to try and bring us a better gamecube but bring us a new, innovative way to play videogames.

Either way, I'm sorry but there is tonnes of room for improvement on the TP screenshots. Some things look like they could do with a few poly subdivisions for example. 480p doesn't limit the graphics to that of the gamecube, just the resolution.

              • When my game console can display the CG from Lord of the Rings in realtime, you can tell me that resolution matters. Until graphics become good enough that the viewer can't detect individual polygons, a higher resolution just serves to make the already large polygons more pronounced. I've yet to play a game where a majority of details are smaller than one pixel in 480p, and I'm not seeing any on the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, either.
        • I'm thinking they might do a hybrid approach, have the game run on a GC and when you put it into the Rev it'll use some higher-quality effects and maybe the new features. They had a feature like this for the Zelda Oracle titles but they didn't use any features of the GBA, just unlocked a "ring shop".

I highly doubt Nintendo would develop two major 3D zelda's in parallel, considering they use the same (large) base of workers to make them, along with their star developers (like Miyamoto) and working on the two at once I imagine would water down the creativity of the two.

    The difference in hardware nowadays is very slim. Back when you went from atari2600 to nintendo 8 bit, the gap of what is possible was monumental. Now a faster system merely means you can add a few extra monsters or pictures on the wall. I think its very likely that today's consoles can last well into the next generation consoles' life. As long as next generation consoles are backwards compatible with the previous console, then manufacturers will still find profits making games for the old system. In fact if the next generation systems are going to be as expensive as rumored to be 350-600$ pricetag, then many people won't adopt the new system. If 70% of users have an old system and 30% of users have the new system, then it could be cost effective to release for the old system, and make another version of the game with better graphics for the new system. If you're going to release on PC, you're going to have to have different optimizations anyway, so optimizing for different consoles isn't that costly. The more we edge further into the future, the more that is possible will happen. The other side of the coin is that as more stuff is possible, there is less undiscovered stuff possible.

    • Did you play Windwaker? Or even Metroid Prime? These were both games that while were great, were too short. They "fixed" this by adding in some backtracking quests, and sail around in your boat and hunt for things quests that you were FORCED to do in order to make the story progress.

      I think they realized how much many gamers resented that. You can put in an optional 20 hour side quest that involves fetching stuff, and I'll probably do it. But when it's required, and it feels so obviously slapped on w

  • It's been mentioned that maybe Nintendo will move the game over to their next gen system... I doubt this will happen, but...

    Since the Revolution will be backward compatable, wouldn't it be possible to have the game sense whether it's in a GC or Revolution, and adjust graphics settings accordingly? Playable on GC, but better looking on Revo?

    Computer games have graphics settings... It seems like it should be fairly easy to bring this type of thing to consoles as well.
  • Someone nudge me when I can get it used for a bargain. I could care less when It comes out and cost 60 bucks, I have budget to consider.

    I have noticed people tend to hang on to the Link though.

    No sir, but we do have 700 copies of Madden, NBA Street, NHL 200(1)(2)(3)(4)(5) at 6 bucks a pop.

  • Although I think it's wise on one hand to delay as game such as this if it's not where they want it to be, it's also a hugh risk financially. IMHO the last really great game on the Gamecube was Resident Evil 4, which I've already played to death, so to speak. I only own one Gamecube game right now, Killer 7 which is too much of a headf*ck for me to play with any regularity. I will most likely get the Revolution and either the PS3 or 360, but due to the price I plan to sell my Xbox and Gamecube to buy said c
    • I will most likely get the Revolution and either the PS3 or 360, but due to the price I plan to sell my Xbox and Gamecube to buy said consoles. That being said I don't know if I'm willing to hang on to my Gamecube long enough to play the new Zelda.
      If you are definitely buying a Revolution, I don't see this as an issue. The Revolution will be 100% backward compatible with Gamecube games according to Nintendo, so you'll be able to play it on that.
