The Clouded Thoughts of an Introvert: Plot or Gameplay
Posted On 18 May 2010 By admin
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/nintendo/What_Makes_A_Good_Zelda_Game_Plot_or_Gameplay'; I have had a rather large number of thoughts running through my head with the relatively close release of Zelda Wii. Aonuma has been talking significantly about the changes the game is going to go through, without being specific to any degree. But it gets me thinking: what could change and why would it change? Could it be for the better? As most people know, around here Majora's Mask is the most popular game among the staff and members of the forum. Now and again, after we post an article about the game, we get comments along the lines of "who cares about Majora's Mask and how 'deep' it is, gameplay is the only thing that matters." And in actuality, these comments are not too far off. Strong gameplay is necessary for a game's immediate success, definitely more so than a story. But comments like this get me thinking not only about gameplay, but the changes that are apparently coming to Zelda. It's fairly easy to assume that these changes are likely going to be most significantly shown in how the game plays and less in the story. But really, who knows for sure. With a...

Revolutionizing a Genre
Posted On 18 May 2010 By admin
If you like articles that are short, to the point, interesting and lacking in any real controversial opinions; then please, read on... Carl from RoboAwesome, a video game news and review site, posted an article yesterday called "Revolutionizing a Genre". According to Carl, the progression to the third-dimension of video gaming was not an easy one, but it was really thanks to games such as Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 that it happened. Hey, I really agree there. He goes on to talk about how Ocarina of Time also revolutionized gaming with camera angles and the z-targeting lock on system. Furthermore, Carl says that with the upcoming release of Zelda Wii, it is now time for Nintendo to reinvent the action-adventure genre through the Zelda series once again using motion controls. The potential uses of Motion Plus are mentioned, and once again, I can't help but agree. I'm starting to like this guy! Anyway, one thing he does mention that I haven't in my illustrious Zelda writing career is the benefits Zelda Wii would reap if the Vitality Sensor was incorporated. Nice idea, but will it really happen? Have a read and judge for yourself....
