Oh, I thought this was a banned gif. I was going to say that abe-bly should replace the lasers with the word "banned" or something.

Made a comparison gif,
going into E3 I was all over the prospects of them using the tech demo style but the new art hits all the right notes. This is one of those games that will look good forever.
The tech demo is 500000% better. I'm sorry GAF.

Been said lots but basically cant be said enough. This game sounds and looks like the stuff of my dreams and one of a handful of goals in my life is to survive long enough to experience this
my eyes were getting watery watching the digital event segment

Are you smoking?
The particles and lighting alone are miles better than what we saw in the tech demo.
If you don't survive I will play it twice in your honor!

That gif is a great comparison. Both have particles, fire, a giant enemy, light filtering... And the final art style looks better in every way. I could not be happier that they're iterating on the Skyward Sword art style.

I just can't believe how beautiful this game looks.I remember i had the exact opposite reaction when SS was first revealed (i thought it looked too muddy and colorless at first) but this is literally swimming in color.Every hue seems to match perfectly,it's as if everything is handpainted by a master painter.

I think the tech demo looks great, but the final one really blew my mind. It's absolutely gorgeous - best looking Zelda game yet (I don't mean the graphics, but just the art style). At least based on what we've seen so far.
I hope he's not compensating for possibly being perceived as juvenile by only liking games with dark, gritty shadows and darkness
I don't like bloom in my games, no thanks.
Even the farmers with the Asian hats make an appearance.
Hnnnnhgggg. So cool. o___o
(Although these graphics don't even look as dark as Princess Mononoke.)

He can buy it and still prefer the tech demo style, you know.

The lightning and animation of what we're getting is out of this world, the tech demo was just TP assets with some lightning.
I know its not many, but that bow and arrow looks even for advanced then those
Both the new trailer and the tech demo have pre scripted animations.
And they both looked pretty amazing...but aren't real gameplay wise.

Well, if anything, Skyward Sword only improved and looked cleaner since the reveal.
Sure, but the video doesn't have the IQ of those 1080p shots.

While the Smash fans waited in line to get their tournament wrist bands they all went wild when this was revealed!
I am super impressed with the art style and the fluidity of the animations so far. I asked Bill Trenon directly if they used motion capture and he said nope, the animators are just getting that good. (Actually thats a half truth, I asked him about Zelda using motion capture before this was revealed, not specifically about this title.)
The open world really looks like an open world now. All I wanted was for Zelda to take some cuues from Xenoblade and it looks like they have.
My guess is that character is not Link. Maybe Zelda, who knows? Most importantly this game will be 2 player co-op and that is the 2nd playable character.

Yea that both look great but with the art style they are going with now they can do a whole lot more in an open world game.
If they went tech demo the game would be more linear

Sorry, but the tech demo looks nowhere near as good. In fact it looks down right boring now.
I wasn't that interested in another game that looked like TP.
Maybe, I think regardless, it's certainly pretty enough for me as it is today, let alone what it will be.
I'm too hyped, need to buy a Wii U this week, play WW.

Obviously not gameplay, but they both were in-engine. I don't see what that has to do with what I was saying.

Ad far as technical impressiveness it isn't really, but it's nice lighting. Particles looked nice. I'm surprised it looks as good as it does for being open world. So I'm really happy with the way it looks.

Yeah I'm surprised to hear myself say it, but the final Zelda U kills the old one in performance, style and impact imo.
I admit I wasn't keen on the old Link, but the boss and temple interior in the old demo was awesome.
Love the New 'Link'. Love the Octorok thing. Love new Hyrule, God, this is going to be a long wait.

They're similar in terms of design, but the Zelda video has much brighter colours and contrast. Mononoke has a much earthier colour pallet.
They both look friggin awesome though, so not complaining.

Yup. Serious Mononoke vibes.

This will probably make me get a Wii U to go with a PS4 for Phantom Pain and some other games.
It looks absolutely incredible, and I love the Princess Mononoke vibes.
Maybe after I buy some new PC parts though, gotta get ready for GTAV PC and DOOM.

We don't have any high quality footage to use so we can't say that, it's quite obvious that the video footage we do have is pretty average in terms of visual quality as can be seen by the Link/Zelda/Girl shot compared to the press screenshot. The difference in detail between between them is pretty stark.
The new look is certainly better than the Wii U demo and I strongly favor Twilight Princess art style over Skyward Sword. Something about the water color look of SS that just rubbed me the wrong way. This new style though is better, more like the Wind Waker look, it actually looks like a cartoon.

Regarding the grass:
Do you guys think that we'll be able to cut all that grass in the overworld screenshot?
Because man there's way more than in previous games. I wonder if the WiiU would be able to handle all that much processing...
