I'm going to gorge myself on all these videos and stuff when I get home. I hated Wind Waker, partly because of the graphics, so this may win me over.

i thought the graphics were nicely refreshing, even though they were a bit kiddie.
it was the pace that turned me off. it really seemed to drag out. i mean, i'm all about some problem solving, but there'd be huge gaps of time where you were kinda aimlessly searching for the next thing to do.
..at least that's the way it seemed.
wwII looks quite a bit more exciting. i hope it's as large as a zelda game should be.

Wind Waker 2 is also supposed to be cel-shaded... but that doesn't look cel-shaded at all (although it does look impressive)...

Yeah definitely, I just got pissed off with so much wandering around. I like cel-shaded stuff and some effects were nice, but it just didn't keep me interested. That's two naff Zelda games in a row for me now (including Majora's) so if this one sucks I'm off the series forever. I was gutted when that Link/Ganon demo from a few years ago was dumped in favour of WW so this is a happy ending.

alternatively, you could try and go out and meet some friends instead of playing some geeky game with fucking hobbits or something in it.

This is Legend of Zelda.
Wind Waker II is a seperate project altogether

Welcome to last night, loser.
By the way, the GBA has a new Zelda on the way as well... The Minish Cap.
There's very little information about it right now, though.

It seems this Zelda is actually built on the same engine as Wind Waker. Haha. I remember a couple of months ago there was an interview where someone said it would be: "basically the same engine with some small modifications." LOL!
I don't really like this new look. It looks just like any other next-gen game to me. I miss the cuteness still present in Wind Waker and older Zelda's. Link is way too old and too lifelike... imo. The atmosphere and just the feeling of Wind Waker will probably never be beaten... not for me anyway. I realise the new graphic style is exactly what lots of people have been waiting for.
But still that trailer gave me goosebumps :-) It is still Zelda after all. The music was amesome, and the fighting looked totally incredible. It'll be good to have Epona back too.
I can't wait to play it! I'm gonna try to not look at too much screenshots before the release this time... by the time TWW came out I had already seen pictures of almost all the locations.

Minish Cap movie.
-Amazing Graphics! Probably the best looking 2D-zelda so far.
-It looks like Link can shrink and grow bigger again at will. I bet that's his "special power" this time. Instead of controlling the wind, the seasons or the flow of time.
-He has some sort of a sucking/blowing device. In one sequence he uses it as a vacuumcleaner against a boss-character. But in another scene he uses it as an "engine" whilst standing on a leaf.
-In another scene Link splits up into four versions of himself... and all four of them together push a huge rock. Hm... another four sword-adventure? I'm kinda hoping it will be aimed mostly at lonely singleplayers ;-)
I also hope this is a Nintendo-developped game again... not capcom. There was nothing really wrong with the Zelda Oracle games... nothing that I can quite put my finger on anyway... but they somehow didn't have the "nintendo magic".

That movie looks delicious! And I love the music, I recognize some hooks from Ocarina of Time.
It used to be that Nintendo would make us wait years between Megaton games. We waited 7 for Super Metroid, another 8 for Metroid Prime, and now they're just throwing Metroids at us left and right. Same with Zelda. I'm not sure how I feel about this. It feels nowhere near as special, I was delerious when Super Metroid hit. The positives outweight the negatives, though.

I'm pretty amazed that the new zelda is running on the cube. The graphics look nothing short of amazing. The worst part however is the waiting the time between now and when we actually get it in our hands. I'm predicting 12+months for us PAL gamers :(
The Minish Cap looks awesome too. It's great to see more SNES flavoured zelda action on the way.
Metroid2 on cube? well it certainly looks like the first with a couple of tweaks thrown in like some new weapons and multiplayer, but nothing that really made my jaw drop. (like zelda!)

Exactly how I felt about the FF franchise. I would welcome a long hiatus...so when the next one was to be finally released...it would be that more exciting. Though, with today's technology, companies are able to make games a lot faster then they were 10+ years ago.

ive altogether stoped caring about the new rpgs coming out (as awesome as they may be)
i just dont think that i have time for all this now that im 18 and need to shape up, i had a great time with square back in the snes saga and the ps era and thats good enough for me.
besides, come on... EVERQUEST 2! that will eat up any time i would have to play other games.

Yeah, I'm the same as you are. I don't find myself playing games nearly as much as I use to, but I still love keeping up on them just as much as before. I know for a fact that I'll play Xenosaga 2 when that's released. I dunno, now that it's summer I'm going to go back and play through a lot of games I haven't touched. I'm not going to give up with the new games....I may not have as much time or might not be as enthused as I was when I was younger (partly because games came out so much slower), but I'm going to keep playing games until I grow old.
As for EQ2...yeah it'll eat up a lot of my time too, granted that I enjoy it. I just hope I'm choosing the best MMORPG with EQ2.

oh for sure, eq2 will be the best.
as for xenosaga 2.. mmmmm i dont know. i loved xenogears, seriously i was obsessed i had a shrine in my room with various articles and xenogear toys i bought online.
but xenosaga didnt do much for me, albedo or whoever was the gheyest antagonist ever, predictable and stupid. completely unlike Krelian (~my hero~) :p lol

but did xenogears really need a backstory? i was happy with the way it was.
oh well, it probobly will be amazing, the ending of xenosaga where it showed blips of lacan and cain and abel blew my mind.

I'm looking forward to Xenosaga 2. Seems they changed the graphical style quite a bit, though. I don't know if I like it, or if it's just plain inconsistent... but time will tell.
I'm more into games than ever, now. They're better than ever, and I have enough money to buy every game I want, unlike my younger years. This is probably MY golden age.

I still buy some games but I don't play them nearly as much as I used to. I've only gone through Wind Waker once - in fact, I only beat the game once and I forgot to save before the big end battle and I never felt like going through the castle again. I haven't beaten Metroid Prime yet. I've only made it to the final battle. I picked up Tony Hawk 4 a while ago and I'm only half way through.
-_-
It's sad. I just don't have the desire to sit through games like I used to. I love getting new games, but I can't seem to finish them so much anymore.

on the other hand, I go through Super Metroid once or twice a year. What an incredible game. It's challenging, but not so much that I get frustrated and quit and it was done so goddamn well that it feels like a new game each time I play it.
