TP Hype Thread II: The Revenge!!!

Its amazing! The character reactions, the graphics, the animals, the sounds....EVERYTHING. I think I am in love! Thats it I want this game now!

I saw there were 3 slots in the equipment subscreen for swords 3 for shields and 4 for something else (probably tunics)

To bad the guy took too long though, I really wanted to see the Twilight Realm. Well they said there were going to be a LOT more videos of it. So stay tuned at gamespot for videos. Mybe we can see the cutscene where Zelda gets ambushed.

I watched it. Simply amazing. Im gonna spend 2 hours in Ordon village the first time!

I'm following this all night if I have to... All I saw was a small part of link in the woods with epona, and DAAAAAAAAAAAYYYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM

Do you mean the cutscene where Zelda has to hand over the kingdom to the twilight king? I want to see that too!

Johnny, what did you think about the graphics and the sound? And what did gamespot say about the controls, if anything?

I like the graphics and sound. But for some reason I don't like Link's running animation. When he is in his Tunic he looks fine, but when he is in that farmer clothes he looks weird while running. They said the controls were fine.

Also forgereality, if you are watching it just for Zelda I would stop watching now, they aren't gonna show anything else.

The graphics is PERFECT for a new Zelda game. Looks like you can do alot of things in Ordon village before you set out for the big adventure!

plus the map is HUGE just for ordon village. I love how you can keep the fishing rod. Also you can beat the townspeople with your sword . From seeing that my hype raised by 1000000000 hypage units. (how else would you measure hype?)

Yes, It seems as though you can do a "whole" lot before you eneter the twilight realm.

Did they fish at all in the video? And did the time change at all, light from day to night?

Twilight Princess is detail rich and full of great ideas. The graphics are only held back by the system. Contrary to popular belief, I do believe that Nintendo, given the horsepower, is capable of creating better visuals than just about any other developer (other than textures--they've never really been impressive in that regard, and this still holds true in Twilight Princess). But textures are something you don't usually notice as much when you play.

I´m absolutely impressed at the level of detail they´ve reached in TP. Just everything, from graphical effects and models to, well, everything, I´m not gonna list anything now.

Just... 8 more days, seems too little, but again, it´s difficult to realize what is upon us, untill it hits us right in our heads...

Edit: Ha! I don´t saw that Shiek posted about the detail in TP, what a coincidence. Anyway, dumb edit... but well.

Yes there was fishing, but not reel in type fishing, more like fly fishing. What we saw was Link get the sword and slingshot and fishing pole. When you swing the sword at the children they duck. There are pictures on the wall at Link's house (must be a spoiler). We saw faron woods, and we saw Link get the lantern. Link's house has a basement which is too dark so you need a lantern,and you get Epona fairly easily.

What could you do in Links basement? And you got the lantern pretty easy peasy, just talk to a ugly guy with a BIG afro. Hahhaa

Boy, shame I have to avoid all these spoilers. Its not the spoilers that attract me, it the fact that this forum is one of the main websites I go to, so, spoilers are hard to avoid.

LOL! I know that was so random.

How did they bring up the map of the entire Ordona Province? Did they do it through the start menu, or by bring up the mini-map on the screen? And is the map like OoT where the areas you haven't visited are all cloudy, or does it let you see the entire map even if you haven't been to every part of it?

I think it was the plus button, well when he pulled up the map the area you were in was a little section of a BIG no HUGE map. The Ordona Province.

But was it a map of the ENTIRE world or just the Ordona province? And were the other areas blacked out, or could you see everything even if you haven't visited the area before?
