They're very profecient at perfecting and miniaturizing western inventions and then throwing a lot of charisma into it.

>>248312641

Nintendo can into technology since they've a bunch of sperglords working over there when really needed.

Iwata should be coding, not being the president. He added a new continent to pokemon gold/silver after he was told they couldn't fit anymore on the Carthage.

Here's the trick : unlike Western developpers which focuses on concepts without developping them to their full extent, japanese developpers, especially Nintendo, are pretty good at game design.

>>248312641

Most japanese devs can't into technology but Nintendo definitely can. They pull off some amazing stuff with their shitty hardwarre

Nintendo pushed home-console visuals to arcade levels in 80s.

Konami did some amazing shit with PS2 tech during the time (see SH and MGS games).

Also you seem to forget this lil' thing called "JRPGs", that can be expansive as fuck.

>>248312641
Nintendo games did a ton of things long before Western devs did it, it's like you think stepping back for one whole gen completely invalidates all of the technology they produced all the gens beforehand. Not only will they make an excellent open world game, but for once the open world will feel alive.

Just look at how great the two recent sandbox titles (GTAV & Watchdogs) came out.

>>248312641
Xenoblade was a pretty nice open world game, or an attempt at it, anyway.

I think FF12 was open world, but it's been a while.

>>248313706

Don't you mean BIZARRO titles?

Nintendo's utter lack of attachment to the primarily Western "cutting edge of cinematic AAA graphics technology etc" can only be an advantage, it would only weigh them down like it does so much of AAA development.

>>248312641
Sure. Western dev's makes the most best graphics occasionaly. Crysis ect. But Asian keeps all games looking quite nice unlike west. So it's few vs many here.

Kojima Productions are fucking grandmasters.

Something to do with their famously strained relationships with QA

the only thing the west does in term of graphixs is obcessing over realism and take hd photos of porstitutes to generate their characters. All the advancement we had to make 3D look stylized and not dreamworkface was from Japan, they didn't need foreigners to give us good animu girls in 3D. They also have a better concept of game design and a better concept of introducing game mechanics as the game goes and exploit them more and more. Their notion of style and coolness is also unmatched so far. And on top of that, their programmer let way less bugs in their final products than the gazzilion of unplayable at lauch western games on PC.

>>248314737

That's Monolith Soft.

>>248319341
He's right, the graphics will be more or less the same but framerate, draw distance, amount of objects on screen could vary running in real time. And for all we know, what they shoed might not be a real area in the game and stuff liek teh grass physics might be changed/downgraded.

>>248319552
"Open world" is kind of an ambiguous term, but based on the definition Aonuma gave and the type of gameplay he was describing, Zelda has never had an open world game.

>>248319719

they didn't even use the word, you are complaining about the fanfics you wrote yourself there. That's Dobson level of strawmaning, you can't sink lower.

I think it's funny that instead of saying it looks like shit, people have resorted to plugging their ears and going "nanana the Wii U can't do this nanana"

I mean, I heavily doubt the press kit screenshots are indicative of how the game will truly look in the final build (1080p with AA and whatnot), but pulling off an open world game of this scale? Why the fuck not? If a 360 can pull off Oblivion or Skyrim then why can't a Wii U do this?

>>248320923

Link between Worlds had no hand holding. I believe Aonuma talked about learning from this. He said he wants people to be able to get lost again. There is a built in tip feature. Though in order to access them you need to wear special glasses and pay for hints in play coins. It's incredibly unobtrusive. I honestly forgot about it until right now. It's also a non linear game in the sense that dungeons can be done in any order.

>I just have a nose for these things. My ability to smell shit coming from a mile away is uncanny.

You must be smelling the wrong thing because you're clearly uniformed.

>>248321029
>someone hasn't played ALBW
I liked ALBW but if you're implying that there was anything particularly clever about the open world design then you're fertile ground for Nintendo to spread their fertilizer. It also wasn't really the return to form that the series badly needed either.

My biggest worry is that they'll retain excessive handholding, fetch quests, obligatory collectathons, mediocre area/dungeon design as well as reusing assets way more than is excusable.

>>248321408
Nintendo understand the value of artistic design.

>It's always been up to western gaming studios
Yeah, it's not like MGS2 and Final Fantasy X were years ahead of every western game in terms of presentation. Oh wait.

It's true that japs have lost their touch though. They couldn't adapt well to post-PS2 era changes.

>>248321245
it's hard to explain, i'm talking about the "feel" of the gameplay

both are third person shooting games but they feel different

>>248321561
>My biggest worry is that they'll retain excessive handholding

Retain it? The last game dropped it.

>>248321561
>if you're implying that there was anything particularly clever about the open world design
I'm not, I was implying ALWB wasn't a "casual hand-holding shitfest".

>>248312849
Iwata knows how to program?

>>248321621
A lot of them had trouble adapting to the new mentality of "graphics are everything, reading is for faggots, games are too hard"

>>248321408
Because Nintendo has some talented as fuck graphic designers. I wouldn't say "better" myself, but I personally haven't seen anything on current-gen that looks impressive compared to what's possible last-gen, other than running consistently with perks like higher resolution and framerate. Like, look at Mortal Kombat X. It hardly looks any better than MK9 other than having more shit in the backgrounds.

You have your exceptions like Bloodborne and the new Uncharted but Bloodborne runs at like 18 fps in its current state and Naughty Dog were full of shit for half of The Last of Us' promotional material, so I don't see why people think they suddenly aren't now.

>>248321836
He's really good at it though. That nigger saved games like Pokémon Gold/Silver and Earthbound. That last game has a text system so complex in theory you could make it run another game of Earthbound.

>>248321836
He was a regular prodigy back in the day.

>>248321451
I really don't think we can derive hope from a game which was
a) The sequel/spiritual successor of what is essentially an "old school Zelda"
b) A game which was most likely made to appeal to fans of said game
c) A niche portable title which didn't have nearly as many resources or marketing thrown at it than the Wii-U title will

Aonuma and the team had a different approach for ALBW. They're going to go right back to their Skyward Sword mentality when designing the next main game.

>You must be smelling the wrong thing because you're clearly uniformed.
I'm in casual clothes right now.

Sorry, how am I uninformed about something we know nothing about? I'm just guessing.

>>248321937
>graphic designers

I'm know I'm being a dick here but a graphic designer is not a person who makes video game graphics. You could use it for that but it really would be stretching the meaning of the job.

>>248312641
>What makes you think they'd be able to pull off a true open world game?

Because Japanese devs have done open world games before?

I mean, this is nintendo's first attempt at it, but Capcom and Square Enix have both done open world games now, and Kojima is also working on one.

>>248321860
You don't have to make good graphics. They clearly want to though, they're just incompetent as shit and take 3 times the time a western studio would take.

And what with the boner for "roguelikes" and Meme Gear Revengeance, Souls games and whatnot, it's not like difficulty is a factor.

I shifted over one million units and received positive reviews across the board. I don't think that's niche. I'm basing my predictions on A Link Between Worlds which was the last game in the series. You're basing your predictions on ''I can smell this coming.''

Yes I'm aware that one million isn't a huge number for sales. But it's pretty damn good for a ''niche old school Zelda game.''

Like you said we don't know much about it. But you need more than ''I have a nose for things.'' Because that means nothing to no one but you.

If they can basically do what they did with windwaker but have everything be joined together than it should be good.

I'm just hoping we're not going to have another skyrim like game where everything feels like I was just generated with some program rather than carefully crafted.

>>248321621
>Yeah, it's not like MGS2 and Final Fantasy X were years ahead of every western game in terms of presentation. Oh wait.

The beginning of the 6th generation was the one time japanese games came close to western ones graphically and still you're wrong compared to games like aquanox, max payne, splinter cell, etc.

Only explaination I have is that Nintendo has a god tier art team.

>>248322987
i guess that works too

>>248322836
I knew you were going to jump on the word "niche" but "over 1 million" is nothing for a Zelda title. Not only did you take that out of context but you completely ignored all of the other reasons I gave as to why ALBW shouldn't be taken of an indication as to how the series is progressing.

>You're basing your predictions on ''I can smell this coming.''
Yes, because I'm almost always right, and unlike you I don't have what appears to be a substantial vested interest in any negative speculation.

>But you need more than ''I have a nose for things.''
All I need is a trite trailer with a bland art-style and Aonuma feeding us lies, and the last 5 Zelda games.

Honestly, I don't think the question should be whether the Wii U has the power to push the open world in terms of omg grafix but rather if it has the memory capacity to push something in the vein of the promotional material without loading zones. But I mean, that should be doable, right? Does there not exist procedural generation techniques to circumvent the need to have a hyper-detailed yet sprawling world? I'm guessing biggest risk there is determining if they could execute it adequately i.e. without glaring pop-in issues.

Not only that, they fit the first Zelda on it fucking twice. The second quest is largely different from the first with not only different dungeons, but vastly re-mapped locations OF said dungeons. It's practically a brand new fuckin' game you get to play instantaneously when you beat the first quest.

When Phil Fish said that "Japanese Games suck," he couldn't agree more. He sincerely believed that the japanese industry is terrible and that it absolutely needed to improve.

He whole heartedly believes that western videogames and the industry works together as a unity to improve

He believes the japanese fail to do this, and never work together

He's the hero they need, but do not deserve

>>248327257
It uses the same Sparse Voxel Octree trick for speeding up indirect illumination calculations as Unreal Engine 4. It also does real-time smoke simulation. It's pretty impressive. Unlike Unreal Engine it scales better too.

>>248323461
>Does there not exist procedural generation techniques to circumvent the need to have a hyper-detailed yet sprawling world?

I feel like I need to clarify this part. People are skeptical that a Wii U can execute a world of the detail in the promotional materials to the scale advertised, but, is it actually necessary for that level of detail to be ever-present, all at once? This is what I aim to get at when I mention procedural generation. For example, some people have pointed out the lack of detail in the far background as evidence that it's "faked," but what if it's just some clever technique to mask the fact that the assets of those regions aren't fully rendered because the player hasn't gotten to a close enough point to trigger rendering them? (Sorry if I sound really dumb here, I'm using a lot of inference and don't know the technical implications of all of it.)

>>248326018
and by less things to model I mean less models to render.

By that definition, TES: Skyrim is not an open world game.

>>248328321
Right, that's what I was thinking too. What Aonuma describes sounds like something unprecedented for the genre as a whole, not just Zelda, so you can't adopt a definition of the open world genre as a whole based on the approach he's describing.

>>248327857
You don't even need to go procedural. Just have your data support streaming well and some LOD assets. Though most AAA do this haphazardly. Also, 1 gig of ram is enough to support a very large field of view with decent texture and mesh compression 8 gigs is overkill honestly.

>>248322143
Like ALBW, Zelda U is a derivative of the older games- specifically the NES Zelda- rather than the 3D ones. Why do you believe that they'll go back to the hyper linear structure of Skyward Sword after stating that Zelda U will be closer to the original multiple times?

We may know very little about the game, but the info we do know points to this game being different from SS. Besides, Aonuma has never stated anything about "going back to their Skyward Sword mentality when designing the next main game."

>>248328926
Metal Gear Solid is more impressive in design and technical perseverance than the actual technical chops themselves. Even MGS5 isn't the most impressive thing out there. The 3d scanning pipeline is what makes it look good and they licensed that out.

>>248312641

But OP, MGS 3 and Shadow of the Colossus were the best looking games on ps2.

Japan understands limits and builds their games around it, they have a more polished product in the end. Because of the West's focus on trying to to break these limits focusing on realism and building games around PC specs for a console they end up with more buggy less polished games.

The West can into great video games, but other thank games like The Witcher they just feel rushed and mass produced.

>>248328545
>LOD assets

I'm a little confused about how LOD works. Are entirely different assets used to stand in for the ones that would become more detailed at another time? Or is it a technique for using the same assets but reducing their level of detail?

>>248312641
>Japanese devs can't into technology
Dunno.
Japanese games manage to have grass and colors while westerns manage to have grass textures.

Open world isn't "technology". It's game design. MGS has more technology than the whole western gaming community combined.

Not the good ones.

>>248329392
LOD (Level of Detail) assets is just what it sounds like. You create a hierarchy of assets with lower amounts of detail per "level" such as a mesh with 10,000 polygons will be replaced with 5,000 polygon model at a lower level and so on.

This. Most of this stuff, like fire burning grass and spreading was in fucking far cry 3 and this size of game has been done before, in shit like Skyrim, and the Witcher.

I've read their technology powerpoints. It's not that impressive. They use a pretty old hack (In fact it's the old Half-Lambert trick Half Life 2 uses) for hair shading and the rest is just physically based shaders which just means making sure your highlights and shadows aren't over-exaggerated by technical hacks. In fact the most impressive stuff they use was licensed out from western companies like their 3d scanning stuff and their real-time cloth hack.

However, Nintendo did not follow on the offer, with one Argonaut employee speculating this was because the company did not want to let third-parties use its characters[2].

>Argonaut's Jez San believes that the refusal to pick up the Yoshi pitch was the final blow to Nintendo and Argonaut's relationship, which was previously damaged by the cancellation of the nearly completed Star Fox 2[2][3].

Scrolling screens doesn't stop it from being open world. It was open world. Open world is alternatively called 'free roaming.' Which is what a few of the Zelda games have allowed.
If he's using another definition, well that's his problem for being an incompetent fucking developer who doesn't seem to know jack shit about the games industry.

And you can free roam your ass right to them and then right out.

Having limited abilities does not make something not free roaming. GTA isn't lacking open world because you don't spawn inside a fucking helicopter at the start of the game. You do in fact have to get to it. They also lock portions off.

Really? You're suggesting that without beating a boss or talking to someone you can hit the start button and teleport to the end game sequence? Are you fucking retarded?

These are free roaming GAMES. They HAVE GAMEPLAY BEHIND THEM. Stop being a dipshit.

You can literally go and pick up any fucking item in any dungeon, leave that dungeon and beat other dungeons without beating them in any specific order.

When you say ability, you are talking about ability to ROAM. SO YES dude, it is not free roaming.

You must seriously have brain damage if you think an empty field is better than that. And what we were talking about is a seamless, large, and richly detailed world, which is what Aonuma was talking about.

Then your entire point is a moot one, as it's simply untrue.

Open world RPGS are easy.

Open world Action RPGs are hard.

Lets hope this is actually fun.

I've said what I wanted to say, dude.

>>248339734
Free roam means free roam. Stop using words you don't mean, and learn. I am sick of trying to tell you how stupid you sound because you do not want to put in the effort to stop saying stupid shit that can cause needless arguments.

Stay a pleb.

Japan is based as fuck.

No shit 90% of the budget went to. voice acting, mechandise, advertising and NOT VIDEO GAMES.

To make it clear for you. Free roaming largely removes artificial barriers in the game. Not actual fucking barriers. A game is still free roaming even if you can't clip through the fucking wall you two bit knob slobber.
If there's an area that you need a rope, you need a rope. That's part of the game, it's not stopping you from getting a rope and going the fuck over there. If there's a progression of items you need to get that rope well you're free to roam your ass right through that progression or try something else. The game doesn't give a shit and that's the point. There aren't strict 'levels' in a sense that you can't go anywhere, not some specific place, but anywhere. You are stuck in that shit dink level until you beat it and continue to the next level. Likewise you can generally go to a significant amount of places in the world when you want.

I hardly consider myself a weeb but the quality of Japanese games is unmatched.

Plus I don't have to worry about Social Justice faggotry in my fucking Weeaboo games.

>>248312641
>Japanese devs can't into technology.

Implying open world games are unheard of.

>>248318626
>The WiiU can't handle something of that scope.
Well it was quite obviously runnin in-engine, so I'm ready to assume it can. Why would it even be hard to believe those graphics were real-time? What in the picture would set off the bullshot alarm?

>>248312641
>Japanese devs can't into technology
given they have to work with, Nintendo is the most proficient dev with technology by very far

western dev's approach when they hit ceiling is to add more RAM and even then they almost never hit 60fps

>>248339764
It has nothing to do with content or quality. You used Far Cry 2 as an example of something it isn't.

>>248340001
Which is nothing.

>>248340551
Shh, don't call attention to how insanely skillful the graphics engineers at Nintendo are. It usually brings the worst of their critics out from the woodworks.

>>248340346
>Free roaming largely removes artificial barriers in the game. Not actual fucking barriers.

So then we are in agreement that the first Zelda game had no free roam. Because it has not removed the barriers which are the screen scrolling viewpoint and are clearly not natural in feel and in play.

>>248340717
But still enough to shut you up.

>>248313143

No GTA for you.

I used it as an example of what I JUST said. And what we were talking about. We weren't talking about a literal open world.

>Wind Waker had 'exits and entrances' to areas so it wasn't a true open world, in the new Zelda you can go literally wherever you want from whatever angle you want whenever you want

Far Cry 2 falls into that because of the way you are funneled into areas.

>>248327059
He is a nice person and he made Cave Story all by himself. Same with Kero Blaster. Not sure what your problem is, man. Me and Pixel talk on twitter and he really is a nice fellow.

>>248324943
Modern coding isn't exactly the same thing as he used to do back in the day anyway, so it's good to make way for the new talents.

And as CEO with programming and software planning background, he's probably pretty good as assessing whether products are moving the right direction.

>>248341435
>go literally wherever you want from whatever angle you want whenever you want

But what he meant was the same as what is in Far Cry 2. For fucks sake, as if he was talking about no_clip you moron.

>literally from whatever angle you want

lol, you really expect this to happen?

>wii u hardware shits on 360/ps3 hardware
>360/ps3 runs skyrim and far cry 3 no problem
>nintendo is killer at optimizing their games for their hardware

I don't see why it can't look like the open field shot from the teaser.
It won't look like the following scene with the chase, because that's obviously a cinematic. Still, I believe the game will look and play great on wii u hardware

>>248341856
>360/ps3 runs skyrim [...] no problem
lel

I don't think you faggots realize the more graphical prowess a game has, the more money it takes to produce. It's not that they can't do it, it's that it's an incredibly risky endeavor to have these bloated AAA budgets that are approaching (or even exceeding) the budgets of Hollywood blockbusters. It leads to games like Destiny, where the marketing budget becomes over half of the overall production budget, because when you spend 250 million dollars making a game, failure is not something that's an option.

I would prefer devs to work within their means, but they'll be forced to soon enough anyway. AAA is becoming unprofitable and far too risky. Nip devs were simply the first to retract from the market.

>>248341435
>defend yourself.

You make controversial claims but don't back them up AT ALL, and demand others "defend themselves."

>>248341273
They seem like good guys, and Iwata is a fucking genius programmer

>>248341856
Wii U is stronger than the PS3 by a bit. It's more of a PS3.7 or something.

>>248341981
Well, as well as an unmodded beth game is going to play
Skyrim seemed generally fine on my 360 and my friends' ps3s

The thing that pisses me off about this is that various sites keep calling this a gameplay video despite zero gameplay. That is by definition not a gameplay video. It's a prescripted cutscene video and tells us nothing about gameplay specifically. Hell you can't even ascertain whether it's open world even though they say it is, the video doesn't show that, at all.

>>248341713
True but I doubt he just lost his knowledge even with the non use of it, I'm pretty sure if he supervised a project he could make sure the code was clean and working. Although at the same time it'd be pretty scary having Iwata over your shoulder checking your code

>>248342106
The PS3 port is practically unplayable if your save file is TOO BIIIIIG.

Nintendo hasn't been good at game design in ages.

>But what he meant was the same as what is in Far Cry 2

No it wasn't.

>For fucks sake, as if he was talking about no_clip you moron.

He was talking about open worlds that don't funnel you into ares with only a few entrances and exists, which is exactly what Far Cry 2 does.

>lol, you really expect this to happen?

No I don't. I'm extremely skeptical about the new Zelda.

>>248342136
Blame the Miiverse post with the apparently shoddy translation--that's where the word "gameplay" started being associated with it. In-engine is more like it.

>>248342045
It's about the same, but with more programmable shaders and (if rumours are correct) fixed function shaders. Polygon count will be about the same, but the overall rendering will look better.

>>248342136
It's a prescripted cutscene of what it might look like when a player plays it. Like all "gameplay" videos. The only difference is that the camera is set at a different angle to what a player might be looking at.

>>248312641
Like what? I can't think of many Western games that delivered half of what just Nintendo delivered.

>>248312641
You know why Japanese game devs don't do the open world thing as frequently as Western devs? Because they aren't fucking idiots and they know padding out a massive empty space with long stretches of nothing and copy and paste buildings and mindless npcs is FUCKING TERRIBLE GAME DESIGN FOR LAZY NIGGERS WHO CAN'T CREATE INTERESTING LEVELS.

>>248342026
It doesn't matter how controversial a claim is, that has nothing to do with burden of proof.

I just want games, man. Graffix are nice, but I can deal as long as it is engaging and challenging. This is coming from musterd race with a very good rig.

Vidya Industry Crash 2.0 is probably coming soon anyway.

>>248342240
I think he talks about not being able to completely let go of it, in some of the Iwata Asks. Like he'll get very technical with his questions when he's being shown the latest build of a game.
