Conference of the Japanese company Nintendo completes a series of performances of the three largest platformtarget. The Japanese prefer not to arrange magnificent celebrations, instead of organizing intimate gatherings with developers from its internal studios. This format of presentation was called Nintendo Treehouse. This year no one to change the old rules. In addition, all immediately warned that almost nothing will show except the hit coming – The Legend of Zelda.
The presentation starts with a demonstration of gameplay of the new The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game is really very beautiful, despite the fact that it was developed for pretty mediocre in terms of console hardware Nintendo Wii U. However, it will also be released on the next Nintendo NX, which should further improve the picture. The trailer alludes to the fact that for the first time in franchise history, characters will be fully voiced, mentioned earlier. The game will be released next year.
18 November will be two new Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon for the handheld console Nintendo 3DS. On this occasion we were shown a new trailer prior to this double release. Further, almost forty minutes of game developers demonstrated a variety of their chips to the audience. Not that I dislike Pokemon, but instead I would like to see other new games. Such slowness I always thought the lack of actions of the Japanese company.
The stream continued with a detailed demonstration of the gameplay The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. In the Studio was attended by the Director of the project – Eiji of Aonuma. The game has leaped forward, if you compare it with its predecessor. Changed practically everything except for a series of common traits. The player can chop down trees, like in Minecraft, to get wood, can hunt with bow, explore a huge open world, craft items. Very surprised and pleased with the fact that link is able to climb sheer cliffs. This is for games in General in a novelty. The developers claim that if a player sees something in the game, for example, a mountain on the horizon, he could easily get to her. Even though it may take a long time.
The game boasts a very beautiful visual effects. Water, smoke, explosions, it all looks great. The overall style of the game is somewhat cartoony, as actively used technology rendering Cell Shading, but it makes the new Zelda even more charming. Externally, it is a cross between Wind Waker and Skyward Sword. Pastel colors, soft lines, gorgeous work of artists Nintendo – all this creates a truly gorgeous atmosphere. By the way, to try out the game personally, only 500 lucky people who took part to the exhibition stands of the company for a couple of days before the event. That’s so all over the world love the series of games The Legend of Zelda.
Link is able to plan with elevations on its tiny paraglider. He is capable of using a special magnet to levitate the heavy metal plate, blocking his way. The game demonstrates a good physical model of interaction between objects.
Think I should stop because Nintendo Treehouse usually lasts several hours without a break, and some other leading change. Unfortunately, the hope that we still will show the following NX video game console, I already left. Will have to wait for the next similar events this year. New The Legend of Zelda is, of course, good. But E3 is arranged differently. And to keep the attention of viewers, you need a little more one, albeit a very great game. Hopefully, later this year Nintendo will show us and other new projects.
