i wouldnt call it hack and slash,

diablo is hack n slash. Gauntlet is hack and slash,

zelda is hack, find a key, back track a few rooms, slash twice, get lost, stop and think, slash again, hack, then move on to the next room where the big chest is.

and fall in love with fishes. :P


and i dont think an rpg would be the next logical progresion. i can see something like muliplayer...wait, we have 4swords which fits the bill PERFECTLY...

ok, then....

all i can really see is making the game ever deeper and larger, more complex...like majoras mask.

now THAT was one hell of a story line. :D

well, what I mean is they could make an RPG and still have it FEEL like a legend of zelda game (assuming they did it right)

That makes sense. The way they described it though was just machines, not magical technology or anything... except maybe the master sword, but that's not technology. O.o

Then yeah, if they go for a sort of fantasy-technological mix, it'd probably make a good game. I don't think if they go that way though that it'll be with the next game, considering how much TP was like the definite Zelda game, OoT.

"Life is so much easier now that scientists have invented magic!" -Marge Simpson

Anyways, I think what everyone is mad about is the fact that this is a Zelda game, and not just an independant game without a heavy franchise on its back. There's an obvious sense in the gaming industry that no one is taking risks, and gamers only buys games with franchises. Well, I don't know if that's really true, but I watch Zero Punctuation, and Yatzee is very convincing. Anyways, this turns the gaming industry into a sick business where a company no longer needs to make good games, just as long as they make games with trusted characters on them.

I guess my point is that this game probably will take many risks gameplay wise if it's going to be an adventure game set in the future. The problem is, with a name like Zelda, they're no longer risks. The title is a safety net they can fall back on so that their seemingly endless suply of loyal fans will still shell out fifty bucks for it.

Personally, my fear is that arming Link with futuristic weaponry is going to turn the game into a first person shooter, or a third person shooter, like Star Wars Battlefront. Or something like that.

But the solution is easy. Don't buy the game. Well, you can buy the game if you really think it's going to be good, but if you don't, then don't just buy it because it's a Zelda game. Personally, I'm not terribly interested in the sci-fi genre in general, so I'll pass.

super mario galaxy is the number one rated game of all time, and not simply because it says mario on the box, played it, fell in love, and am replaying it.

its ACTUALLY good.

and what about the massive influx of revolutionary new games? Okami, Shadow of the colossus, the warioware and brainage series, portal, ect.

these games are blowing our ideas of gaming out of the water, and i love it :twisted:

Thats not really a breakout. Add more in, then sure. I still love the shit out of Space Station Silicon Valley and that was years ago. Make a good sequel to that and I'll start belivin' your stories.

For one the title is still an oxymoron. Two, it is a game meant for old age time, everyone recognizes Link as that and has been successful since. Why fix something thats not broken? (Unless your a white hat) That and it just reeks of something they would not do, it just doesn't feel right at all.

Fans shouldn't give a crap about grammar and the title, its the gameplay, and the concept is kinda far fetched but its still an interesting and very possible one. Link can be in the past, future, or present but he's still link and he's still doin his hero thing. And they're not fixing it, they're trying something new. THat is if its real...

Oh.

I thought we were discussing the video at the beginning of the topic.

In that case, disregard my previous post, SW:KOTOR is an awesome game~
