New Skyward Sword Screens Take Link on Hyrulean Wildlife Tour

[Okysho]

Ugh... I still can't get over the cell shading in this game. Maybe it's a redesign of link, but his face looks off and the whole idea bugs me. Not enough to not buy it, just enough to concern me that the game will become silly based off of it's aesthetics (kinda like windwaker, though the story itself was quite dark, the feeling was silly). Twilight Princess had a bit too much bloom, but the premise and the style was still great.

Apparently there were a lot of people who hated TP though, if this game blows I BLAME YOU TP HATERS!! (lol toilet paper haters)

Is that annoying ass Wiimote outline going to be onscreen the entire time?

That was kinda bothering me, as well. At least, give us an opacity slider, so that we can have it if we want it, or just the simplistic TP-style UI that didn't take up the entire screen.

Alright, looking pretty good. But I still enjoy the Twilight Princess feel more. Not sure what it was, but the dark tone carried behind it an emotional impact. Hopefully, the same one comes here too.

I want to look at the pictures, but I don't want to spoil anything for myself. What to do...

Why is Link right handed in this game?

I think you can choose what hand to hold the sword in, you use the wii motion plus you know, having him fixed left handed wouldnt be a good idea.

Why is Link right handed in this game?

He was also right handed in TP Wii edition. The majority is right handed, forcing them to swing the Wii Remote with the left hand would make the game a lot less enjoyable.

Also.. I believe those to be far higher resolution than the actual game.

That's the first thing I noticed, too. Why in the world are they upscaled to 1600x900 when the Wii's going to be rendering it at more like 640x480 (or slightly less; I forget exactly what it uses for anamorphic widescreen)? It sure doesn't look remotely near that good hooked up to my TV or monitor. I only get textures that detailed and edges that sharp if I rip the discs and run the games in an emulator, not when I play them on the Wii itself...

Looks exciting! I hope you can toggle that giant wii-mote though.

Why is Link right handed in this game?

My first thought was 'Damnit, Link is left handed! Change it back you bastards!' I figure that they shouldn't change the character to make people happy; Link is and has always been left handed, he should remain that way for the game. It's not like people can't swing the wiimote right handed anyway; it doesn't really change anything.

But, despite that, looks promising. Here's hoping for a good game.

EXCITE!

Why is Link right handed in this game?

To make it easier for morons wagging their Wiimotes. >.< I was so mad they did this in TP...

 

[jamesslater]

Aren't these the same pictures from the trailer and gameplay videos we already saw 200 times ?

Yes, I don't think any of these screenshots are new new. This has lazily regurgitated PR all over it

 

[New Frontiersman]

I thought it said skyrim then I realized that will never happen.

I saw that too. Eh, maybe with mods.

Either way, this looks awesome! I can't wait to play this game!

 

[Shia-Neko-Chan]

yawn.

Why don't they show us pictures of the water temple, too? and the fire temple. and the earth temple. and the temple temple. And the final fight with ganon. and the spin attack.

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

A reason to play my Nintendo Wii again!

Am I the only one who feels kinda... Iffy... About this game? I didn't like TP as much and this feels like a Twilight Princess revamp.
