I wish someone would make a Zelda style game in 3d that actually had a really creepy and foreboding style. But I havent found anything that scratches that itch.

>>375995543
Majoras mask aside, of course.

>>375995543
I'm unironically going to say dark souls.

>>375995673
i think there's a big difference between a highly polished, atmospheric dark fantasy game and one like the OP pics. something really unsettling about an unfinished looking game, especially with no music or anything. reminds me of getting to emerald dream on some private wow server way back when, always found it kinda creepy

Id literally pay to play an early OOT build.

Why hasn't Nintendo done this?

>>375995673
Nah, dark souls is great and all but it's got very different core gameplay mechanics than Zelda, and very different atmosphere than creepy Zelda areas.

>>375996206

I genuinely don't think Quest 64 is as bad as the rep it has

It's just blatantly unfinished

Game was rushed severely which is why the world is so barren. I find it odd that they put so much money into marketing instead of polishing the game more.

Do you think someone or somewhere at Nintendo has all the beta builds of their games?
I know someone at Rare kept the beta builds of Project Dream and Banjo Kazooie since they uploaded that video awhile back showing all them off and talking about their history.
>tfw they'll never rip the ROMs for the community

>>375996790
if you play kings field, i HIGHLY recommend you use beetle-psx core in retroarch. open the game with the core, then close retroarch. go to retroarch folder, find "retroarch-core-options.cfg", then change "beetle_psx_hw_cpu_overclock = "enabled"". there,twice the fps

The only "creepy" aspect of Dark Souls I can find is the path to Sen's from the Parish bonfire. And it's a personal stretch, only because it reminds me of the edges of the levels for the Phantom Menace pc game's sunset Theed level, which was level 5 or so.

Even if someone made that style of game, would there really be a market to sell it?

I often thought about making a n64 style game where it 'glitches out', like a lost ROM of Zelda or something, but.. what would be the point? What would be the objective?

What should they be allowed to discover, find, etc?

It wouldn't be hard to make some sort of weird glitchy game but to make it good in that weird sense, to make it worth playing, that's the tough part.

I will say, don't have it go all meta, but have the story hint at it very subtly while having its own story. And have the glitch stuff take a backseat to the actual game.

Someone please make this shit, I know one of you fuckers has the skill

>>375997829
What story and setting would work, or just knock out a derivative Zelda story that never got finished?

>>375997978
Easy to make shitty low poly models and worlds, harder to make it worth playing. I could do it but need ideas

>>375997978
You do, make it happen anon. I believe in you.

>>375997625
I don't mean glitchy, i just think itd be cool to play a game with Zelda oot style exploration and puzzle solving, with simpke but rewarsing nechanics and lots of hidden stuff and secrets, and charming npcs, all these Zelda staples. But juxtapose them with unsettling enemies and genuinely creepy dungeons, like the well dungeon in OoT, or a lot of the stuff in majoras mask. Maybe outside of towns you'll occasionally see someone following you at a distance, watching you at night. Stuff that's just a little strange and unsettling, and occasional actual scary monsters and stuff.
Dark souls is so relentlessly gothic and grim that it's not scary. I'm never surprised to see a giant skeleton, or boss with his guts hanging out, because that's what everything looks like.

>>375997625
well Sad Satan was pretty popular

What would be a good engine for a newbie trying to make his own Zelda OoT style game? Visual fidelity isn't a big deal.

>>375995543

Isn't that what Zelda actually was in the final game?

No Zelda after Z64 even game halfway close to its eeriest locations.

With graphics as they are now, they have to literally make zelda in the mindset of a horror game to emulate what they did on 64.

because of the way copyright works. if a company doesn't even try to sue, they can basically lose the rights to the series entirely. its why they shut down fan projects all the time too

>>375998383
this is not true and this has never happened in the history of anything

>>375995543
That's kind of what I wanted to do for my first real game project

the graphical fidelity is really just an excuse for my lack of skill but I really like that early low poly 3D aesthetic

>>375998508
Well I'm a pretty solid artist (professional graphic designer) and I have tons of ideas for puzzles and items to help you progress both inside and out of dungeons. I just have no game making ability

Because THQ didn't make the game, they just bought the rights to publish it in North America.

Well it would be a nice game, that's a start at least.

Someone dump more beta Oot screenshots. That unfinished and dark look is pretty creepy. If only the actual finished product looked that way.

>>375997495
No, ura zelda was an 64DD expansion of the actual OoT

Are there any finished games that reflect this beta vibe? I'm not talking something like "oooh spooky" but actually kind of unnerving and just eerie

"Ura Zelda" is the Master Quest. It was just going to be "OoT with completely different dungeons" and it turned into "OoT with slightly different dungeons". This is Beta Zelda. These are screenshots that came out years 2-3 years before OoT was finally released.

>>375999032
m8 is you retarded

the final game is darker than the screenshots already shown

octoroks went from red cartoony buggers to wrinkly purple sad demons. wallmaster looks a gorillion times better in the final game too.

Well that anons opinion was shit. It was a bad game. The only people who like it were those who only had an N64 thus were like starving wolves for a JRPG to finally make it to their console especially when the PS1 was filled to brink with them.

>>375998172

>>375999149
Link also looked closer to his original designs with the rounder nose instead of being literally low poly Matt Damon, iirc. Which looked kinda awkward in 3D.

>>375997829
I actually think this is bad advice, it's more of an anime fans dream dothack fantasy, but the original idea is more original and engaging.

Apparently Miyamoto's wife convinced him to make Link look like a handsome hero. Let's thank her for saving us from Link looking like those ugly elves from those Keebler cookie commercials.

>>376001243
i mean the original idea of playing, an self-aware unfinished game 90s type 3D game in a seemingly dead world with a meta-fictinoal narraive and creepy horror vibes to really nail that "creepy" factor that was lost after the N64 zeldas (notice how they've been softening everything up, though the return of actual enemy threat and the guardian sequences were a nice return ot form)

>>376002662
So basically, if I started a low poly 3D zelda-esque adventure game that was filled with unfinished, beta areas and the player has to figure out what the game was meant to be like originally - that would be cool?

But if I make some game like Pony Island where it starts off innocent and deliberately becomes glitchy and meta, that isn't good?

>>375995543

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

>>376003226
i think they both sound cool.
just don't make it like those dothack games where it feels arbitrary limited. Go all-out with the meta shit, make it feel like it really is broken, not just designed to seem that way (which is what the other guy suggested)

>>376003302
/thread

>>376003306
Okay so what should be the point of the game though, the story or whatever?

Otherwise I will end up making some weird dark souls / ocarina of time / majora's mask hybrid demake basically the usual failed project when an indie dev wants to make an ambitious game and gives up
