New Zelda Wind Waker HD videos
- Thread starter Oni Link 666
- Start date
completely redone. not orchestrated but at least uncompressed and re-recorded and sometimes reworked.
Can't watch...I'm at my job...
HNNNNG.
I wanna hear the remastered Dragon Roost theme! ;_;
Welp, only 8 hours before I'm back home...yay?
funny how two of the best looking games this year are on crap underpowered hardware and ridiculed as cheap up-ports
Isn't the Wii U the most powerful console right now?

King of Red Lions stops you and says something along the lines that you've traveled too far out and should head back towards your destination.

Beautiful!! Though, will wait for the disc version.
Did I really need to explain this?
we haven't seen nearly enough to make any calls on 3D World or even DKC TF either way
Oh man how could I forget?!
Yes! I've been waiting for Dragon Roost videos.
What a disappointment. Especially when they actually orchestrated several of the tracks for the 25th Anniversary Special Orchestra CD.
If you believe the internet
and especially console-war GAF

It comes down to choosing the right style for the right game. Wind Waker's style of using strong clean instruments, and more folkish and exotic instruments would be ruined with a lush and rich orchestra.
Now recording the real instruments for samples or recording a small group of performers playing the instruments would be preferable.
But The Wind Waker does make use of interactive music, and not just blending pieces of music, actually hitting specific notes based on your attack moves, and the idea of performing the music with the baton makes MIDI with good quality samples, the most versatile option.
GAF = Reality hyped and heightened. Its why its loved and loathed in equal measure.

Looks better than anything i have seen on next gen so far
for me
It has Pro Controller support, it was confirmed awhile ago. If the inventory screen stuff is a huge holdover from the original game, then I doubt they've fixed the soup glitch (at least for the Pro Controller).
It's also possible that a new version of that glitch could arise with the Wii U GamePad. But obviously we won't know until the speedrunning community gets their hands on the game and starts messing around with it!

We absolutely do not have reason to think it's been "completely redone," unless you consider copying the original source files over but without compression to be "redoing" them. There are definite updates here and there, but much of it is still identical.
I cannot even handle how smooth this animation is. Wind Waker was so ahead of it's fuckin time.

A friend of mine has a digital review copy already. When playing with the Pro controller the inventory menu is identical to the new menu they designed for the pad. The only difference is it pops up on the tv screen and uses the analog and buttons to maneuver/select. Also you need to manually change the pages via tabs. L and R do not change the menu page.
Mixing it with better quality soundfonts, mastering it for 5.1 PCM, cleaning it up overall fits my definition of redone.

You can use the Pro Controller? That is such good news for me if true!

Well, we don't know they've actually done any of that. We're listening to youtube videos. The music is likely still just stereo, but uncompressed. The only changes we know about are the re-instrumentations in certain pieces. There could be more to it, but it's just speculation.

It's true.

Sorry if this is a bit ott.
This game.
This fucking game.
Only WW could sell me a console as a remake.
It's still ahead of a lot of big budget games. The fact that this game, on the GameCube, was so butter smooth with combat and body movements and even cloth and hair was just astounding. Something few games have touched.

It even had particles before there were a next next gen feature.

11 if you digital.
What is your deal? You've been bitching about the bloom left and right, about how much the HD version loses the charm of the original and you're still buying the retail AND digital versions?
Unless it was all sarcasm?
As someone who's played OoT for the first time this year, and preordered the bundle, I've been counting down for awhile now. I'm more excited about this than GTA V next week.
Yikes, L/R not switching the pages? That kinda sucks... it was such a quicker way to navigate between the pages to save and such.
I somewhat expected the menu to look the same as the GamePad one. I more meant the inner workings of the inventory that allows the soup glitch to be possible.
I mean, I can't imagine they want you to be able to continually re-use the same bottle of soup. So if they're aware of the glitch, they've likely chosen to fix it. Whereas something like superswimming, ledgeclipping, storage, or... Zombie Hover (was previously shown to be working in a demo unit a few months back), they've possibly left alone as that stuff doesn't impede casual playthroughs of the game. Buuuuuuut yeah, have to wait and see.
Thanks for the info though.
(I really want the glitches to stay though so this version of WW can be the ultimate one for speedrunners unlike OoT3D was for OoT speedrunners)

Same here, and I've already paid for GTA V

So fucking gorgeous, why am I so hyped to play this again!
And you can disable a lot of it.
Tomorrow my copy of Puppeteer arrives from Amazon. I've already preordered and preloaded Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. I still want to pick up Rayman Legends. I still want to finish Pikmin 3. Outlast looks amazing. The Wonderful 101 is a lock. GTAV is kind of one's civic duty as a gamer. I plan to get around to finishing Luigi's Mansion 2, Fire Emblem Awakening, and HarmoKnight. I'm at Gwyn on Dark Souls PC, farming for NG+.
All of this... but all I can think about is TWW HD. :-\

GameCube HW was really good at doing particles.

So? I've been bitching about the bloom (and rightfully so - it's hideous), and I'm still getting the game.. there is no 'deal'. It's a great game and it looks to be a great remaster (sans bloom). Are we only supposed to speak positive words about Nintendo products we buy? Sorry, didn't get the memo.

I know what, you can still find flaws to any game you like, but I'd never guessed I'd buy 2 copies.

How could they let that flicker of the pedestal go without fixing it? It makes me sad.

While I'm still uncertain about the bloom outdoors in the daytime - I need to see this in motion in person and see how the time of day shift affects it - I must admit I've quite come to like the new lighting and the ethereal glows.
For me the overall aesthetic package falls into the category "how your reconstructed memory makes you feel like the game looked when you first saw it, rather than how it actually looked."
