Night and day difference
from release date of the original game it was obvious that the game needed HD treatment

not 'Just HD' but with control options and 60FPS. The first 3D zelda to do so.

The game looks to have no textures change. But everything looks to have new lighting and Super Sampling

Activision would if they could. People charge less for things that are worth less. It’s like comparing how many burgers you can get from the mediocre mom and pop shop versus the popular chain restaurant. No brand equity, and the average person enjoys it less. Activision has to be cheaper to get sales. Nintendo doesn’t. Yeah Nintendo wants money. So does every other company.LOL.
Not even Activision is this greedy. They give you 3 games like this for $40:

True. I guess greedy is the wrong word. Every company is greedy and will try to get as much money from their products as they can. If Activision knew they could sell the Spyro trilogy for $80 and sell millions of units they would totally charge that.
With that said I own no Stock in any of these companies so how much money they make is irrelevant to me. As a consumer, I dislike Nintendo for their overpriced pricing practices and I think most big publishers offer more value for my money.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
Another low effort port from Nintendo.
10/10.

Same. I never owned a Wii or Wii U so I’d be interested in this title. Might wait though to see what comes of potential Zelda anniversary

This honestly looks like a rather slapdash job.

You seriously don't think Activision would charge as much as possible if the Spyro Franchise was as anywhere near as successful as Zelda? This isn't defending the pricing btw and, as much as I enjoy Zelda, I' not gonna shell out $60 for a resolution boost and 60 fps.

It's because it is. This game probably would have benefited from at the very least a Wind Waker HD esque style update.

Just put down 2011 for 2020.

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
Has backtracking been addressed? That’s my question.

Game should be $40.
$60 is a joke especially if they plan on rereleasing WW and TP... they gonna charge $60 a pop for those too? Lmafo

This stuff is always amazing to me. I remember playing this game and thinking it looked good. Seeing it now, it looks almost unplayable to me. The framerate and resolution is god awful.

It's definitely HD, but I'm just afraid it will lose its style because of it.
Look, Skyward Sword had that feel as if it was painted. That was the style of the game. Looking at this video do I see sharper edges and hi-res textures.
I don't getting that 'painting' feeling anymore.

Idk. HD, in some ways, makes the game look even worse.
This game came out late on Wii, where we all were well use to HD games on PS360. They had to go a different route, so they chose this washed-out water-color style, that looked good enough at low resolution.
But, bringing that to HD, just shows more just how ugly this game is in comparison to the two Zelda games before it and the one that followed.
I have a feeling The Simpsons' Comic Book Guy and I share similar feeling about this particular 3D Zelda.

Did you get your prescription changed between then and now? Because I don't ever remember thinking this looked good.

Price cut measures.
The same s*** they did with the SNES in 1990

At the time, I remember it looking perfectly fine. Never had a problem with the visuals.
But I had component cables for my wii. Soooooo......

Fair enough. It's just the previous generation had both Windwaker and Twilight Princess.

Post that best summarises the topic.
Without the washed out watercolour look, the game's warts and limitations are out in force in high resolution HD...less tempted to double dip now, even at $40

if Resetera spoils your games you should really take a break from the internet
