>>736084793April fools
>>736084793>Any chance this shit is actually going to be good?Yes retard and you know it. 98/100 meta score. Goty 2026.
>>736084793>Any chance this shit is actually going to be good?There's a chance. Probably more likely than not, but not by much.>Is it going to get a 90+ metacritic?I don't think so, OoT will probably feel too dated for lots of reviewers to rate it too highly.>Will you buy it?Probably.>Will it win awards at the game awards?If it's a really ambitious remake then it has a chance, but if it's relatively faithful then I doubt it>How many copies will it sell in its first quarter?The name value should boost it to ridiculous numbers. Assuming it gets at least a month before the cutoff of the quarter when the million seller list is tallied, I think at least 7M. Zelda games never used to sell many copies but since BotW it's actually a premiere franchise now that people genuinely care about.
Sources tell me it's heavily inspired by FF7 remake, expect Ocarina of time janitors
>>736084793It's going to be the same game with better textures. Maybe a full analog camera like in Ship of Harkinian if they're feeling fancy.
>>736084793>Remakes are good nowFuck off
>>736085260can you not read?
>>736084793>Any chance this shit is actually going to be good?Zero.>What are the most likely ways they're going to fuck it up?Visuals, gameplay, story.Extra handholding, extra busy work, and "muh problematic themes / characters!!" will be deleted.I won't BUY a single Nintendo or a console game ever again.
>>736084793>>736085030People have been asking for this forever. it's been worked on forever. It's the first Zelda game to take advantage of the SW2. It's a Nintendo game/Zelda in 2026. It will sell 15-20 million lifetime sales and score a 94-98 metacritic score.
>>73608479310 years ago they could have made a great Wii U level remake without messing it up. Today they can't make it without messing it up.Why? Because every game Nintendo has made since Furukawa got in charge has been corposlop. They started using focus groups a lot more, and they test the waters on "what else is out there that gamers like". They started doing the same shit Sonic started doing post-Dreamcast where they whore out the brand to different trends on the market. 1 game it's trying to be Jak 2. 1 game it's trying to be Mario Galaxy. 1 game it's trying to be 3D World. 1 game it's trying to be Open World.Ocarina of Time Remake will be an over engineered game. It will have the "iconic moments" in between a lot of systems bloat, an over-standardized narrative presentation and graphics that look interchangable with 3D Gachaslop.It's gonna have fans but there will be a frustrating rift between people who actually know what "Ocarina of Time" was, and those who associate it with the remake, which of ended up being nothing like the original in spirit.
>>736085293You really need to die. Nintendo is the only big game producer doing well and actually making games in 2026.
>>736085384I don't think that's true. Nintendo didn't even make their only game this year, they had to hire Koei Tecmo to make it.
>>736085429They made Bananza and World last year. Both better than Pokopia. Everyone wants to partner with them like Fromsoft. The writing is on the wall with Valve, Microsoft and Sony
>>736085384err remakes aren't games
>>736084793is there anyone out there that prefers this to an actually new game? I guess this is just nintendo being lazy since they know people are going to buy it in droves but this way they don't have to find anyone that can actually do any game design
>>736084793>Ganon’s castle is just up ahead>Focus, LIt’s going to be kino
you guys are retarded If you think this is real
>>736086090Erree uhhhh yeah they are retard. RE4 and RE2 have replaced their original games tranny.
>>736086305Why is this hard to believe?
>>736086305guy who leaked it has a flawless track record
>>736086431>>736086484there is nothing official
>>736086526yes that's the point of a leak

>>736084793>if this is true, then there won't be a wholly original Zelda game for over a decade running>just a glorified BotW expansion pack/asset flip, an asset/artstyle flip from LA Remake, and potentially an OoT remake

>>736087994>asset/artstyle flip from LA Remake
>>736088067>Has new assets>New gameplay mechanics >New world to explore>New dungeons >New bosses >new plotHow is this not an original game? Be specific.
it's just going to be OoT but in the BOTW/TOTK engine (minus ultrahand/physics mechanics). It's going to be the map of OoT, but with the cel-shaded art style of BOTW, with BOTW combat system (no more z-targeting) so that it doesn't alienate the kiddos who got started with BOTW (aka, the new demographic, because nintendo knows boomers will buy an OoT remake on nostalgia alone)
>>736088298>with BOTW combat system (no more z-targeting)I thought BOTW had targeting?
>>736088330it has lock-on, but it functions differently in terms of the combat system. z-targeting (along with directional input) would change your attacks. BOTW doesn't do that, every weapon type just has it's generic moveset, and that's it.
>>736084793It will be made by people and developers that don't even like ocarina of time, so why should I expect it to be good? Everytime Aonuma gets asked about it in interviews, he shits on it and says its "outdated"
You can kiss Malon in this one
>>736088391>BOTW doesn't do thatI'm pretty sure it does.>hold forward>tap b>poke instead of slash.
>LA remake>it doesn't add more buttonsI'll never understand.
>>736084793will Hyrule Castle have the tribute to Robin Williams?
>>736084793Imagine the seethe if it uses that Rudolf Christmas Special artstyle that the Link’s Awakening remake used.
>>736089083Won't happen. It will be taking advantage of the SW2 hardware.
>>736086484Robobot.
>>736088849I still don't get why Etika got the support he did. I understand why his fans were upset that he an heroed, but to me he just seemed like a typical dime a dozen react streamer out there.
Randomizer mode included or no buy
>>736090798a lot of it is performative, you can tell because a lot of people who pretend to mourn his loss (or would've) now absolutely despise his tolerance of vidya/anime fanservice
>>736084793>Any chance this shit is actually going to be good?Yes, they're fully aware what a big deal OoT is and they will want to make sure it measures up to expectationsWhat are the most likely ways they're going to fuck it up?Arguably art style, the 3DS version was a fairly simple port but it threw away a ton of the original game's character and atmosphere. If they go cel-shaded like BotW/TotK, it's not OoT anymoreIs it going to get a 90+ metacritic?Will you buy it?Will it win awards at the game awards?How many copies will it sell in its first quarter?Yes
>>736084793I am going to buy it regardless, I love Ocarina of Time.
Smashing success with a higher critic score than GTAVI.
>>736086281Dead meme
>Tendies that constantly rave about Oot being the best game ever feel think it needs a remakeSometimes I wonder if you people actually like Nintendo. I am a 100% unironic Nintendo hater and even I think Oot is perfectly fine.
It will do better than Redditbirth
>>736094119Until Triple-A slop stop doings the things that meme was mocking then it isn’t dead
should i play oot or should i wait for the remake? i had a ps1 that generation, sandwiched between my gameboy and my gamecube
>>736088156It's very clearly a spinoff and not a mainline title.
>>736095936>le mainlineArbitrary criteria.
>>736093179>changing the artstyle will ruin the gameFuck no. The original graphics are outdated.
>>736095552it definitely still holds up if you ask me. knowing nintendo the remake will probably be awful so I would play the original.
Knowing Nintendo, it will probably be something like a 3DS remaster.
>>736095552https://www.shipofharkinian.com/setup-guide>original ROMhttps://files.catbox.moe/ibpry6.z64Have fun!
>>736084793I'm just waiting on the Recomp might eventually play the 3DS version while I wait. The remake probably won't be as good unless they don't change most things besides graphics and controls, but I probably won't play it until Switch 2 emulation becomes viable.
I really don't see how you could remake this game, unless they're going to completely throw out the existing gameplay and make essentially an entirely new game with the same storyline and setpieces. In other words, you still go to all the same dungeons, but they're only the same in name and aesthetics and they have completely new layouts, and the game has completely new mechanics. Just using the same Z-Targeting system and forced switching to 1st-person to aim the bow while being unable to move after games like BotW would just feel way too weird.
>>736097289the thing it that it's plausible they could go either way on it. they could totally modernize all sorts of stuff or they could go slavishly faithful down to all the control scheme stuffI dunno if there are other remakes to compare to to get an idea for what's plausible. I guess Metroid Prime 1 remake they changed the controls a lot and made it proper dual stick fps controls instead of the original lockon style, although it was optional and you could play it with original controls if you wanted. Paper Mario TTYD changed smaller things, and they also made it 30fps which changed a lot of the timings involved. Yeah who knows
They can do whatever the fuck they want with it, we have ship of harkinian carrying OoT forward.
>>736097579Both of those strike me more as remasters than proper remakes (they're the exact same game with a new coat of paint). Remake implies they are making the game again from scratch, like the RE remakes or FF7. OoT already had a Metroid Prime/TTYD-style remaster on the 3DS, which Nintendo could just port to the Switch 2 and bundle with MM3D if they wanted easy money. I don't see any point in remaking it if they're going to keep the same gameplay mechanics because they would feel needlessly restrictive in a modern game.
>>736097773maybe link's awakening remake is a better comparison
>>736097867LA is one of my favorite games of all time and I refuse to play the remake because they absolutely butchered the visuals and completely ruined the atmosphere, if they do that to OoT there's no way in hell I'm touching it.
>>736097928I mean yeah that's usually what happens in these situations. Surely that's what you're expecting then considering what happened to LA
>>736098013They have no reason to do that to OoT because it's already in 3D and they already refined its aesthetic with the 3DS version. It isn't like LA where they have room to misinterpret the art style because they took the sprites literally.
>>736098106yeah but what are you expecting them to do in reality, even if you think it would be stupid of them to do it
>>736098172I guess something similar to the FF7 remake but without the storyline fuckery.
It's going to be shit.They just could help but to pull a Wind Waker when it came to Link's Awakening, they will do the remake for even worse. Especially now since the BotKverse sold so much that every game unrelated to Zelda became it.
>>736098690ff7 was a turn based rpg game that they turned into an action gamedoes that mean you think they'll turn oot which was an action game into a turn based rpg
>>736099168Yes
>>736098106I'm expecting them to change it to botw graphics at the least. Oot is vintage 3d, not botw-3d.
>>736099262that sounds kinda lame, I dunno. There isn't enough stuff in oot to make for a good turn based rpg
>>736099336I don't think they'd do that, each Zelda era has always had its own art style. They'd probably just take the art style of the 3DS version and refine it further.
>>736099336>>736099491I don't think they'd turn it into botw graphics. They're gonna pick some weird graphical style they haven't done before, like how WW was initially unique, and TP was initially unique, and botw was initially unique, and the grezzo game was initially unique
>>736099589>They're gonna pick some weird graphical style they haven't done beforeThey only do that when they're introducing a new Link, they wouldn't do that for revisiting an old Link's story.
>>736099660I think LA remake disproves that
>>736099703That's an exception because they were taking a 160p GameBoy game and making an HD 3D game out of it. A sane person would have modeled it off of the official artwork for the original and not the literal sprite graphics, but whoever they outsourced it to was retarded so they 3D modeled everything with sprite proprotions instead.
>>736099824I mean Nintendo rubber stamped it, you can't get anything made with Nintendo IP unless they approve of it
>>736084793They would have to give it a completely different art style similar to how Link's awakening was remade, otherwise it's just a soulless imitation
>>736099491I'm sorry to be the one breaking it to you but that's delusionally hopeful. Oot graphics look ´dated´ to a modern audience that has the Switch 2™. It's delusional to think they'd keep n64-style. I know, I mean, they didn't keep LA graphics. You're making up reasons why it isn't the same with LA and LA was totally different (LOL) which is the first stage of denial. So as anon said they could be preparing for the next Zelda and make a new style (somewhat likely) but honestly, they'll go with the botw engine (very likely).
>>736096286tardtakepost broccoli head
>>736099949I doubt the main Zelda team had much creative say/oversight on it, that soulless piece of slop was purely a business move.>>736100045>Oot graphics look ´dated´ to a modern audienceArt style and graphics aren't the same thing. There's absolutely no reason they can't keep the same art style while making a game with modern graphical fidelity. See MGS3 Delta.
>Any chance this shit is actually going to be good?I give it 60/40 on the side of being good>What are the most likely ways they're going to fuck it up?open world, you can do the dungeons any order. They'll be a traveling mask seller type character you can go to at any point for help. Base building/cooking/weapon degradation >Is it going to get a 90+ metacritic?Of course>Will you buy it?I don't have a switch 2. Also probably not>Will it win awards at the game awards?Possibly, depending on how good the movie coming out is (read: how much money it makes)>How many copies will it sell in its first quarter?They are clearly trying to tie this into the film's release so the hype of that and it being a remake of reddit's #1 game ever could put it pretty high on the charts.
>>736100697It really triggers you that OoT is better than your favorite slop games huh?
Nintendo finally hired that man?
I genuinely want for them to go balls to the wall and completely remake it from scratch while trying to expand it out as much as possible. Not because I think this would be a good idea, I think the original OOT is basically as close to a flawless game as you can get. Rather, I just want to see what they could even do with that even if it ends up being total shit. Maybe it'll even be good. Maybe it'll even be great. I just want to see it. The original game's always there so even if they totally fuck it up it'll just be something to laugh at.
>>736101805I'm expecting regular dungeons and item progression from the original, but hyrule field will be greatly expanded and be like a mini-botw you can run around and explore in between
I'm optimistic, at least.It's unnecessary to be sure, but it might be neat, and they might have Master Quest and Boss Rush from the 3ds version.And another rumor has popped up that it'll be released with a special edition Switch 2, and I've been waiting for that.
The fact that so many video game critics still name Ocarina of Time as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" video game ever only tells you how far video games still are from becoming a serious art. Film critics have long recognized that the greatest films of all times are Citizen Kane and The Birth of a Nation, which were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Literature critics rank the highly controversial Joyce's Ulysses over classical novels which were highly popular in libraries around Europe. Video games critics are still blinded by commercial success. Ocarina of Time invented lock-on (not true, by the way), therefore it must have been the greatest. Film critics grow up watching a lot of films of the past, literature critics grow up reading a lot of classical books of the past. Video game critics are often totally ignorant of the video games of the past, they barely know the Nintendo games. No wonder they will think that Ocarina did anything worthy of being saved.
>>736086281>I think there's a Gold Skulltula™ nearby
>>736085163It’s funny cause1) FF7R mindbroke everyone thinking all future remakes will do that when it’s literally only FF7R 2) if it did, it would be defended because “well there was already alternate timelines, and OoT had time travel so it would make sense” (that’s me, I would say that)
>>736084793>Any chance this shit is actually going to be good?No, all remakes are a waste of resources>What are the most likely ways they're going to fuck it up?Modern Nintendo sterility will make everything bland and the music extremely boring >Is it going to get a 90+ metacritic?Unfortunately yes>Will you buy it?No>Will it win awards at the game awards?Unfortunately yes>How many copies will it sell in its first quarter?Unfortunately heaps
Not a single mention of Monolith Soft ITT?I bet they’re the ones doing “their” take on OoT as a remake. The interview a few months ago had Nintendo basically say in their coy manner “hehe wouldn’t it be wild if you did a Zelda game?”
>>736101805This. Go full retard like FF7Remake. At worst, it'll make for an entertaining train wreck.
>>736101805Unironically this, we already have the 3DS version that was basically just a reskin, go all the fuck out and just go fucking bonkers with it. Giant Hyrule Field? Sure. Traditional dungeons that take hours to get through? Do it. Expand out all the characters and include features that were originally cut? Why not. Go crazy.
>>736084793>Apparently there's going to be an Ocarina remakeWhere's this coming from? Legitimately curious.
>>736084793>if its a 1:1 upscaled remake, like mario rpg gotits going to suck, just like the original, and its going to show everyone how much the original sucks and has aged like milk. it will probably flop, but then again, there are a lot of zealots out there that will buy it anyway. depending on the cost, they might be enough to carry it.>if it gets completely remade, like ff7Rit will probably be a good game. i doubt they could fuck it up like ff7 did. its a low bar to be better than the original, considering how primitive it is. the BEST thing that would come of such a remake is that we will FINALLY get a new 3d zelda game that doesnt have some completely bullshit gimmick dragging it down (timer, sailing, wolf, waggle, etc). a "pure" game like that is what fans have been clamoring for for decades. it will be one of the best selling games of all time. >what they have to do#1, fix the combat. make enemies threatening. allow the player to be proactive/aggressive. you literally dont even need link's variety of moves, they can be as simple as botw, the real problem was the enemies.#2, completely rebuild the dungeons and puzzles. they are too simple, and too fucking BABY because they were too concerned about everyone "understanding" 3d. #3, increase gameplay density. reduce the sprawling emptiness of everywhere. put rewards, things, and threats out there to interact with. empty fields and hallways dont cut it when the novelty of "whoa, check it out, im moving around in 3d" is long dead.
>>736103383Basically someone DMed various outlets and was apparently reputable enough for it to be claimed as valid.
I just pray they don't include degrading weapons.
Just saying, whoever posted this earlier, I really appreciate the idea you had for OoT2.Sadly, I can never see them do anything like this for a Zelda game ever again. The design philsophy has to be "open and you can solve anything in any possible way".A stress of a timelimit would not fly nowadays with "modern audiences".
