Wind Waker HD and Admitting When I Was Wrong

Liam Pritchard of Brash Games writes "Not too long ago I posted a blog suggesting that The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker might be the best looking game of all time (read it here). While I still hold to that (it is a gorgeous game after all), sadly, I also suggested that it was one of the few games that couldn’t be visually improved to any great degree".

You were wrong about a blog post! holy ____ this has to be the greatest scope of all time.....

I can't wait for this game, I mean with the art style you can only really improve the lighting and colour as you mentioned. I mean you can't really make it look more realistic or whatever but no matter how small the improvement is I'll be happy. It's a beautiful looking game, probably the best Gamecube game.

Xof4063d ago

No, it can be improved.

At higher resolutions, the "edges" of the 3D models become much more apparent--rather than seeing the illusion of a perfectly curved surface, you see a bunch of straight lines at different angles, instead.

...

But, yeah, I get the idea. In general, cel-shading (and 2D games in general) age very, very well.

Thanks N for making a proper remake, not just an upscaled HD cash version.

I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.

Abear21166d ago

Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!

Never played it I gotta get on this one

Double_O_Revan166d ago

Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!

FinalFantasyFanatic165d ago

I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.

LoveSpuds165d ago

I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.

Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?

Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.

Said it before but Heart of Darkness is truly a timeless gem.
