After seeing Horion zero dawns time lapse im spoiled.

This is weaker hardware but still ROUGH.

GTA V had better day and night cycles then this.

WOW.

Neonridr2616d ago

Skybox is impressive in GTA V no doubt. But complete different visual style. But for you to say Zelda is rough is ridiculous. It looks gorgeous.

KingKionic 2616d ago (Edited 2616d ago )

Wouldn't praise this for a "art syle".

Those textures too were Link standing. Jesus.... its rough as hell.

Nintendo may need a intervention with some third parties to port GTA V show them how its done.

Slowing the vid down those fog like effects are all static.

There not dynamic fog coming into the world.

Nah nintendo gotta do better.

Neonridr2616d ago

you are free to believe what you want as it is your opinion. But one word that won't be used to describe this game at all will be "rough".

Goldby2614d ago

@Kionic

Every consider that maybe they are static in this video because the entire video is a timelapse, so its only showing the majority?

Why not praise it for it's art style, it is a beautiful looking game even the rain drops hitting link and the rock hes standing on looks nice.

Ghost Recon Wildlands has some gorgeous lighting and day/night cycles. Unlike Horizon, it's less fantastical and more of a realistic approach. I really like it, especially the rain and volumetric lighting. Very realistic.

DigitalRaptor2614d ago

Simply gorgeous.

Horizon does have the better day/night cycle and skybox technology, but this looks real nice in its own artistic way.

Yohshida2614d ago

Why is the game so dusty? They don't even have to render much, you can't see grass or a lot of trees from far away.

pasta_spice2614d ago

It's also worth mentioning that this isn't the first time a Zelda game has had a day/night cycle. Majora's Mask also had one and it was quite impressive for it's day...

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the anti-Breath of the Wild

Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."

LG_Fox_Brazil124d ago

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64123d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

Cacabunga123d ago

The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..

FinalFantasyFanatic122d ago

I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.

Vits123d ago

I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.

gold_drake123d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

franwex123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.

Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.

babadivad122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

It isn't...

Nintendo not thinking about older Zelda games, "difficult to say" if classic style will return

The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has again commented on the possibility of revisiting the style of past entries in the series – but there are no plans as of now. Speaking with RTL Nieuws, Aonuma said that games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom were possible because of what came before them.

Which is very sad. I still wish we could get a zelda like twilight princess, the dark tone and theme in the traditional style. But times have changed and the masses prefer open world sandbox. Smh. Perhaps we can get a proper hd remake of ocarina of time some day.

CDbiggen262d ago

I played 100 hours of Tears of the Kingdom, enjoyed it, but ready for a game like that next.

kythlyn296d ago

If they can bounce between 2D and 3D Mario games, they can bounce between classic and modern Zelda games too. I thought this was a given when the Switch combined a handheld with a primary console.

Inverno296d ago

Then this is where I part ways. I won't disagree with anyone who says that the old formula was getting stale. And I do think BoTW in a few ways was a step in the right direction, but there's way too much good that was left with the old formula in the transition.

CrimsonWing69296d ago

I want it to. I’m sorry, but these new Zelda games I just can’t get into.

Duke19296d ago

Well that sucks. I still love the classic formula WAY more than the Hyrule Engineering Simulator
