It's fine, I'm happy for a new generation to enjoy this one.

But also...

Damn, the original game was fucking nuts for its time

Look how disgustingly over-detailed his hat is. Mark from ElectricUnderground released a video on the Star Fox remake recently and he mentioned how readability always gets shoved aside for detail and aesthetics in games nowadays, so you keep having this horror vacui-like art styles in these remakes when they should know better. But it's superficially more impressive in a trailer to add shit like this, so they keep doing it.

Your Unreal slop bore me.

I didn't completely dislike the trailer but is so wrong... the human faces are strange, the texture effect they chose make things looks like plastic, is like plastic figures.

the unreal engine gritty mario parody is just real now i guess they are just making those

This looks AWFULLLLLL I fucking hate it

Why does his face look like a 6 year old come onnnn

grokarina of time

I like it. Genuinely looking forward to playing it here in a couple of months. It looks like a pretty faithful remaster of the original and I'm all for it.

Also looks like Matt Mercer is being cemented as the voice of Ganondorf. That is something I'm certainly not sad about. I like his voice.

I hate to say it, but it looks like one of those AI videos someone made to troll people into thinking it's real.

For me bad voice acting is like nails on a chalkboard the instant I heard Zelda making anime surprise sounds I had to turn it off.

But I mean they're pretty much following the template of Star Fox 64 remake so there's nothing surprising here. And I bet this game will make a bajillion dollars because consoomers are credulous morons and it will usher in an entire era of Nintendo remakes which will be akin to the Disney remake era where every single one sucks but makes a billion dollars.

IT'S THE SAME FUCKING MAPS SAME FUCKING PUZZLES! I'M SICK! I'M ILL. FUCK ME

Well yes, they never said they were 'completely remaking OOT'

Looks like dogshit though. Purely a remake for the odd number of people who have avoided the 3DS remake and the port of OOT to the N64 Emulator & have somehow never emulated it themselves and the Gen Alpha children who can only play games with Unreal Engine textures. Actually upsetting that this & the shitty live action movie are all we're getting for the 40th anniversary. No announcement of even the title of the next game, no port of Twilight Princess HD to the eshop or Twilight Princess to the GC subscription emulator. I would have actually even taken news about the Legend of Zelda world at Universal or something over the shitty ass Unreal Engine OOT. Genuinely a soulless remake

Yeah it looks like a, mostly nice, visual upgrade but I'm not gonna buy a switch 2 for it

Did they just give up on the face? What is going on with those Wii eyes.

It looks hideous, the high detail textures really clash with the character models, which are still pretty close to the N64 game.

That'll be 100$

Honestly I'm going to pirate this and my 3DS keeps dying so hell yeah. Call me a slop enjoyer all you want, you're probably right

Isn't Nintendo very firm on its position that kids games are for kids?

So basically, this is Ocarina of Time for today's children, rather than something for adult fans. It's the same maps and the same puzzles because kids haven't played them before.

once more, nintendo hires that man

This would be really cool if the game didn't already exist

Ship of Harkinian exists, is free, and runs on almost everything

i think it makes sense since it looked more like a remaster than a remake plus they dont want to change anything from their masterpiece with the zelda movie coming so its a game for the people that havent played ocarina ever instead of LoZ nerds.

still kinda weird to drop it today instead of the direct for tomorrow (which used to be on the kirkversary but nintendo chicken out)

it looks like that old spaceworld demo that came out before Wind Waker that got people real excited for "realistic graphics" in their zelda

Manual jump: 0/10 do not buy. Currently do not like the art style, but if the adult world has a significantly darker style, that would go hard. Honestly, going back to OOT, my favorite parts are the crusty things: the weird cube menu, the compressed sound effects, etc. If they make a game that is like every other game, it loses those special things.

I will make modern game devs sit down and play DOOM and DOOM Eternal at gun point until they learn how to make something with that has high graphical fidelity but you can still easy see what you're supposed to do.

Call me when hackers find the original prototype for zelda 64 that had the 3d market town and link with no pants.

Seems fine to me. But I was never planning on buying it anyways, remakes so rarely do anything for me. If I want to play ocarina it's right there on my emulator.

The graphics look goofy yeah but I don't know how Nintendo would have handled this. They're kind of stuck trying to update something people regard as the greatest single game ever made. If they go too far in making it modern, they upset the purists. If they make it too close to the original, then it looks uncanny and raises questions like why make a remake at all.

Personally I don't like having realistic textures mixed together with cartoony anatomy. Characters in ocarina of time looked cartoony and jaggy because of the N64 limitations and that was part of the charm. This just looks like uncanny unsettling AI upscaling. I'm in favor of remakes but they gotta do their own thing too. This reminds me of the Mgs3 remake, how none of the story or dialogue was touched.

Maybe I'm also getting kind of old because I think the N64 Zeldas are perfectly playable games as they are. They're old and clunky sometimes, but they're playable games. They don't rely upon cryptic guessing like even older NES Zeldas, they don't rely upon understanding gaming conventions of the time. You can just play them and they're fine games. Just load up an emulator with some resolution upscaling and there you go.

To be honest, I don't like the look of it.
