"Zelda GC"

Some new info on Cube Europe, basically:

+ The game is said to be 2 - 3 times *larger* than OOT.
+ Link will grow up as the game progresses
+ The starting town acts as an introduction where you wear normal clothes and have to round up cows on your horse within a time limit.

And some new screenshots. [URL]http://www.cube-europe.com/news.php?nid=7650[/URL].

Nintendo, a release date of tomorrow please.

For once I agree with you.

Zelda will be probably the greatest game in the world.

That's my prediction anyway.

Yes indeed, it was a perfect example of how to do a proper village - despite being pretty small, there was so much going on and things to do and find.

Just make more of them, and bigger.

I'd like to see Hyrule in the new Zelda at first having been taken over by monsters and quite badly destroyed when Link gets there. It'll be like the very first dungeon, a pretty short one - and when you've got rid of all the monsters, the people will slowly come back and build the town back to normal throughout the game.

Windfall was definetly a moderate step forward though, there was a hell of a lot more life there than any other village I've seen in a Zelda game.

I loved the way you almost felt like you got to know everyone in the village and everyone had their own distinct personality and reason to be there. All they need to do in the sequel is have more villages like this and make them even larger.

I want Zelda more because I'm not a huge fan of action combat on PC. It does sound great, though, and I'll probably get it if it lives up to all the hype.

One aspect of the game caught my eye, though, and that was the "Radiant AI". Having NPCs with a list of things to do which they decide on their own how to accomplish would be fantastic, and is the exact sort of thing the new Zelda needs. To be honest I'm tired of Zelda NPCs just standing around day in and day out doing nothing, or walking horribly slowly down some stairs (Anju in MM, anyone?). They were on the right tracks in Wind Waker, with the whole pictobox thing - but that was still scripted. Hope fully we'll see that sort of thing, but I doubt it, because it's not really Nintendo's strong suit, NPC AI.

Ah of course, due for end of the year isn't it?


It's going to be funtastic, and I'll have a nice uber PC for it too.


Still want Zelda more though

Morrowind was very deep, but limited in some respects.

But great.

Unfortunatly, WoW has demolished it as my RPG of choice for dipping in and out of.

Morrowind was far too beardy and dull to be considered a good game.

Decent controls and preetier surroundings with more colours than grey and dull grey could make the sequel more fun, I won't hold my breath though.

I shall buy Zelda based upon the history alone.

Oh, and yes the videos look nice too =)

It's the sequel to the fantastic Morrowind. My brother's gonna get Oblivion, should be very, very good.
