Because it's on the Wii.

Very good point. Hopefully Nintendo's R&D is working on something on par with the rest for their next operating system. I could enjoy the hell out of something in depth. I mean WW seemed so open ended, you could sail ANYWHERE on the map to all those islands. Surely this can be obtained again.

I think the closest the series has gotten to that is The Wind Waker. It's gigantic, and if you can see it, you can go there. That's one of my favorite aspects of that game.

TP's overworld really suffered from being split up into sections. I'm not sure it was done for technical purposes (seems like the Gamecube should be able to handle that), but in any case it made the world feel even smaller and more constrained than it already was.

Yeah, I'm hoping the next Zelda will have stream the overworld from the disc rather than load in chunks.

Is it wrong for me to imagine a Zelda game with God of War detailing?

Uh...what? In what way? Because honestly, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

*XERO* · 07-09-2009, 04:49 PM

Well, I just meant in the fact that God of War is one of the most beautiful titles on the PS2.

Not saying that Twilight Princess wasn't, though. It's just after playing those games, I figured the next Zelda game they make would pick up on that kind of detail. I mean, those games blew me away.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-09-2009, 05:46 PM

I recall coming across some ivy-covered ruins with a treasure chest in Fable 2 at some point and thinking to myself how awesome it would be to see a Zelda game with proper current gen graphics.

*Brodie* · 07-09-2009, 06:33 PM

Too bad Fable 2 looks like complete garbage.

I get you. I guess it's just because I've played so many games that visually blow God of War out of the water that I didn't exactly get what you were saying. As good as both of those games still look, they're outdated by today's standards.

Seriously. Fable 2 is ugly as hell.

Damn, seriously? What am I missing out on?

Yeah, pretty much.

But just wait until GOWIII is released. It's gonna get it's title back.

Peanut · 07-09-2009, 08:14 PM

Well...it never really had that title to begin with. God of War has always been really good looking, but I don't think it's ever been the most visual impressive title available at any point.

Hmm...

Well, out of all the games I played, the God of War series impressed me the most. That's a bold statement saying that it 'never had the title'.

But, I guess I gotta believe you.

It isn't a bold statement, though, because it simply never was. On the PS2, yes. Both God of War games were at the height of technical prowess when they were released on the PS2.

But you have to realize that by the time God of War was released in, I THINK, February or March of 2005, Resident Evil 4 had recently been released on the Gamecube, and mind-blowing games like Shadow of the Colossus would be released later in the year on the PS2, not to mention the 360 itself late in 05', which brought with it Kameo.

When God of War II came out, we were already a couple years into the next-gen, so there was simply no way it could compete with already released titles like Gears of War, or soon to be released titles like BioShock, or even the "Rule 63" of Kratos with Heavenly Sword.

Again, not saying the God of War games aren't impressive, especially the second one, which did a lot of really amazing things with scale on the PS2, but they've never been the big graphical power house.

*XERO* · 07-10-2009, 03:07 PM

Yeah, I got you, man. I just haven't had the chances to try out those games yet, which makes me think very highly of the GOW franchise. I thought the graphics could get no better than that.

And I bet when I do get the chances to play them, they'll already be surpassed by the NEXT killer apps.

Awesomely creepy, if ya ask me.

*Dr. Doom* · 07-10-2009, 06:35 PM

There are definitely ugly things about Fable 2 (like just about all the people for example) but at the same time the Knothole Island content features one of the most beautiful scenes that I can recall seeing in a video game. I think it was at the end of the ice temple or whatever it was, where you step outside and there's a giant full moon overhead and snowflakes floating around everywhere. I must have stared at that for like 10 minutes, and I think I came back to it later. And the fact that the idea was implanted into my head remains the same; a Zelda game with top end graphics would be such an amazing thing to see.
