LightningStrikes 05/31/23 7:45:21 AM #11:	I can definitely see an Ocarina of Time remake in the not too distant future. Something along the lines of a straight HD remake but not the full FFVIIR reimagining, more like what they did with Links Awakening. As for 2D remakes, the Oracle games seem like the obvious choice. However, AoL needs it the most. Despite all that I think a new 2D game is next. We are overdue for one as its been 8 years, tying the previous longest gap between 2D games. I think it makes sense to see an original 2D game led by Grezzo that makes the ALBW formula even more open. --- I just decided to change this sig.

KamikazePotato 05/31/23 11:54:03 PM #42:	Also my new working theory after the glut of Zelda topics is that a person's favorite game in the series depends on whether they consider the padding to be padding. Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Breath of the Wild all have long stretches in-between dungeons that will just plain drag if you're not intrinsically on board with the filler. Ocarina of Time is the most universally well-regarded because its pacing is tight and its padding is well-hidden. Skyward Sword's reception was so middling because the padding was up front and obstrusive. Breath of the Wild is divisive among the core fanbase because it's a game made of padding, and if you're on board you'll love it but if you're not you'll be left legitimately confused about why anyone likes it. --- It's Reyn Time. <cite>KamikazePotato posted [p:973848837] in What's nex...

Breath of the Wild is divisive among the core fanbase because it's a game made of padding, and if you're on board you'll love it but if you're not you'll be left legitimately confused about why anyone likes it. I think you hit on a good point and probably why I like Tears of the Kingdom more (even if not a huge amount), honestly. With TotK they integrated the abilities more with the 'padding', and turned traversal from just a chore to a puzzle you have to solve. "Can I use a wing zonai device here or do I need a balloon? Should I use rockets on this and not have some later? Lets try to get the physics working right on this thing. Actually, maybe I should take a quick look around for a rock to recall up this mountain, or a cave to ascend through..." It makes a decent bit of difference, imo. There's just more to think about. They made the padding itself more fun. Outside of glitches, most of BotW's abilities and items didn't impact traversal, only really stasis and a few oddballs like octorok balloons, and those are pretty pretty linear, one note things unless you get SUPER creative. I hope the lesson they learn from TotK is that making the process of getting somewhere in an open world fun is just as important as making the destinations fun and build on that. It doesn't have to copy TotK in execution, but just be a core design principle they try to replicate for future open world games. <cite>tcaz2 posted [p:973849299] in What's nex...

ChichiriMuyo 06/01/23 3:24:40 AM #49:	I think you're maybe probably right. Someone mentioned Oracles but that wasn't in house, so the big options are LttP and the OG. Since LBW is still fairly new and no game could use more of a modern update, I would not count LoZ out. And if they loved us, they'd not just give us both original quests but also the Satellaview version and maybe even a totally new quest. Please tell me Nintendo loves us. ;_; --- "If you ever feel good about yourself, just look on the Internet." - Ryan Reynolds <cite>ChichiriMuyo posted [p:973851055] in What's nex...
