Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD - OT

I'll third that. I thought when the sparkly effects started, that was 'visual overhall' time, but it wasn't.

The only thing I noticed that had improved was the higher resolution grass textures. Very disappointing treatment of their most acclaimed franchise.
Probably still get it anyway though, just for the sake of playing on the gamepad.

This is for all intents and purposes just a Wii release with gamepad controls though.

Still 4 months until release, plenty of time to spruce things up a bit!

So this is what Tantalus was working on.

I admit outside of some better textures at places I struggled to see much of an improvement.

@G0dlike: Exactly!

It didn't... look that impressive? Why remaster this, when Mario Sunshine is just sitting there, waiting to be HD'd up!

Maybe Twilight Princess will be a launch another console. Can you imagine TP on four consoles!? Also, did anyone else notice Link's giant sword in the wii u Zelda part? And no sheath? What is happening?

@Haru17: New area? Where? Huh?

It's the gamecube version ie: left handed / button controls, if you were wondering.

The scene in the twilight right before they showed the amiibo stuff. At least I didn't recognize that building / angle.

Looks the same to me. But oh well, I'll still get it, if only cuz it's been a while

Yes, I noticed that. For Off-TV-Play this is needed. So no more motion controls?

That's probably because of the Direct's video stream quality. I also did not see any improvement, but that'll obviously change when Nintendo releases the HD 60fps trailer for the game.
EDIT: That applies to everyone who thinks there was no difference not just @Blue_Blur.
But then again, doesn't look like there were that many upgrades, though. And I hope that Zelda U snippet was a sneek peek at what will be shown at VGA,... hopefully.

@Haru17: Uhhh, thats the canon house on Lake Hylia. It looks different cause it's before the water level rises. Heaven forbid Ninty put enough effort into this to give us a new area!

@Haru17: It was Lake Hylia when it was still drained, that was the cannon house.

It's not full price port u get the abiibo with it so the value is better duh

Yeah, maybe. Can anyone remember the time between Hyrule Warriors' first announcement and it's release? I remember the original trailer looked so awful it was almost comical, but clearly the game turned out looking fine.

I actually thought it looked quite a bit better though it was hard to tell with the quality of the stream. There were certainly quite a few improvements in texture quality in some of the scenes. I think it'll be clearer how much it has improved once we get a higher resolution version of the trailer. You'd have to also assume that some are also comparing it to the game they remember rather than the game itself.

They revealed Hyrule Warriors in December actually. And yeah there was a noticeable difference between what was shown there and how the game looked at E3.

Was it in HD 60fps? Very sure it wasn't, but I'll head over and check it.
FYI, I was talking about when Nintendo releases the trailer in HD 60fps on their YouTube channel. That's where I usually watch trailers again and again and again.
EDIT: Just realized 60fps wouldn't change the way textures look. But still, I'd watch the HD'd trailer on Nintendo's YouTube channel before coming to a sold d conclusion.
