Event - E3 Invitational 2014 E3 2014 speculation: Any more to come?

[Cheezey Bites]

Maybe they'll go Cubist or Surrealist?

I mean that would be unique, and they've already touched on artistic styles with LBW...


But seriously there aren't that many ways to be unique visually anymore, Ubiart have already gone the painting and fairy-tale book route, Okami did sumi-e... I don't know what's left that could actually work for a Zelda game...

 

[Pacack]

I wonder what they can do, they've done realistic, they've done cartoony, they've done something in the middle and even then the demo wasn't that realistic

My personal hope is that they go for a colorful, painting-esque style like Katsuya Terada's Zelda art.

Spoiler

Tell me this wouldn't be the best looking Zelda game yet.

(And yes, this would be possible. It would be difficult, but very possible.)

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Everyone keep in mind that Zelda U does not have anything to do with the Zelda that was made to showcase the Wii U's graphical capabilities.

They have stated that they don't even share the same engine. It's very likely that Zelda U won't look anything like that.

Oy, it's gonna be Spaceworld Demo vs Wind Waker all over again.

 

[Pacack]

You know what would be very interesting? What if Zelda U was done in the Paperman animation style?

It's an innovative animation technique that combines hand-drawn techniques with modern animation.

(Warning: Technical)

This could be used to make a very beautiful and visually unique style...even when used with video games rather than movies/shorts. Imagine this method being used with the artstyle I showed above. It would be very, very cool.

 

[EmceeEspio]

Wow, that countdown timer. IT MOCKS ME.

[supercopper64]

This is my wishlist of things I want to see revealed
1. Super Mario 64 for Wii U
that is all :D

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Well OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire's TV debut turned out to be the announcement equivalent of a ****tease so maybe an E3 appearance is more likely now.

That literally destroyed my hype

Your hype will come back once they announce that they will actually announce something.

 

[Sonicguy726]

It will but as of right now, I couldn't give 2 ****s

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I'll try to up your hype.

*ahem* The game will come out soon after E3 so there'll be a lot of announcements in 30 days time.

November isn't soon enough after E3 for me to care, my hype is fullest the month of release

 

[Morbi]

November isn't soon enough after E3 for me to care, my hype is fullest the month of release

I agree; after about a month, I don't care anymore. Like with Mario Kart, I didn't give a **** for the longest time, I only really started caring when May started.

 

[Sonicguy726]

I get hyped when it's revealed/announced and when it's close to coming out, so that's why I was so hyped for this

 

[R0Y]

I made a countdown timer!

[Rich Homie Quan]

Metroid.

Please, Ninty. Pleeease.

 

[*The Sensus Crustulum*]

All we saw from OR/AS footage is just models of Groudon and Kyogre that we can already she in X/Y.
Talk about killing my hype.

 

[Dark Phazon]

I've cut some characters from my E3 prediction list. No, that doesn't mean I don't think they're possible anymore, it only means they're gonna be revealed when the game comes out and we have the players guide to tell. Here's my list.

Krystal
Shadow
Palutena
PacMan
Ridley
Paper Mario

Veteran fighters
Wario
Ness
Ganondorf
Jigglypuff

I know that Shadow is unlikely, but I'm not giving up on him just yet.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

No matter what will happen, I'm sure E3 2014 will be awesome.

 

[TheAnvil]

If you want to pull a Sal Romano you've got to pick someone who doesn't have a very active support thread, and has gotten less than 15% on RTC... May I suggest Slime?

Also, it'd help to get the first guesses wrong, but then hand wave it and release another anyway saying that the characters you said are definitely still to come, honest!

I should have been more vague so that I have a better chance of being right.

Change my predictions to:
"Namco guy"
"Metroid guy"
"Nintendo guy"

"A pokemon from pokemon"
"A Donkey Kong character"
"Kid Icarus gal"

Don't worry about those last 3, if they aren't revealed at E3 then they're still coming, honest!

Ridley
Paletuna
Krookodile from DK
Namco rep
Guy with a sword from Fire Emblem
A Pokemon
Dude from that Nintedo game that I can't remember anything, but, that he/she has a face

 

[*The Sensus Crustulum*]

Ah, E3. The Christmas of gaming.
Games I am excited about other than SM4SH, is Sonic Boom, looks to be one of the best Sonic games in a long time, enjoyed Unleashed, Colours, Generations and Lost World, I'm sure I will enjoy Boom.

Another Zelda Wii U, could win E3 if done correctly. I am terribly hyped for this.

WWE 2K15 looks to be at E3. So hyped to see a trailer.

So overall, really hyped for E3! Not just for Nintendo but for other companies too.

 

[dezeray112]

No matter what will happen, I'm sure E3 2014 will be awesome.

I agree. There are many things that I do look forward to at E3.

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Ah yes less tahn a month away too E3

Best part is i may have prooved once and for all that the ridley shadow really was a troll

In 2 post i made in the ridley support thread

I think most people know that it's a troll. For some reason Ridley gets a lot of hate so it's mostly the "yoshi is cut" kind of people saying Ridley's been deconfirmed.

Not a Ridley fan here, but I more than think he deserves a slot.

Basically incompetent people assert that Ridley is deconfirmed; they are incompetent because they do not understand the notion of deconfirmation.

I am really excited at the prospect of a Pokemon game on Wii U. Other than that, Zelda U is going to be my most anticipated title if we aren't referring to Smash. I would hope to see a new Star Fox or F-Zero, but those don't seem entirely likely. But again; I am not even going to lie, I am mostly just looking forward to Smash. My sister is interested in Hyrule Warriors because she likes those beat-em-up games, but I don't really see the appeal. It just looks so lifeless, I could be wrong though.

[Rich Homie Quan]

Finals are gonna be over next week and then it's gonna be three weeks of hype for E3. Life is good.

I don't think Nintndo can afford a conservative E3. I can't comment what they're going to do. Keeping expectations low so I'll be happy no matter what.

My Finals are already over; but those were my exact thoughts prior to this weekend.

I don't feel as though they are going to be conservative at all, I can't even keep my expectations low. I am just too excited for the future of Nintendo. We are finally heading in the right direction.

This. I loved Paperman.. I just wish Pixar would get on the ball (har har) and incorporate this into a movie. A Zelda game would also be perfect for this, imagine an Okami-esque/Child of Light sort of thing.

Ah, so you're one of them Anti-Sals.

Personally, I'm stuck on the fence with this one.

We'll see what happens at E3.

What do you mean? The whole Skylanders thing? Just curious.

 

[Pacack]

Actually, the creator of this has been tasked with expanding on this technique...considering that For the Birds was a test for Sully's fur, I imagine that means "figure out how we can make this viable for a movie".

No; it is the beginning of the... beginning for Nintendo. The Wii U is going to start performing better, they are going to start developing quality IP without "Mario" and "Zelda" in the name, Mario and Zelda are going to up the ante as well. I suppose the Figures will have something to do with it, but I am more concerned about the effect that Mario Kart and Smash will have on Nintendo.

Really now? That's great news.

You know what also would be great news? At E3, Nintendo shows off Hayao Miyazaki's REAL last project... Studio Ghibli's Legend of Zelda.

The Wii U is going to start performing better, they are going to start developing quality IP without "Mario" and "Zelda" in the name, Mario and Zelda are going to up the ante as well.

Personally, I think we're closer to the day that Third-Parties will BEG Nintendo to let them make games for the Wii U. Also read as: I have high hopes for MK8 and SSB4.

I wouldn't say I was anti-Sal. I'm leaning more towards it being fake for a number of reasons. It could be true, but something is really off about it. Especially the second part.

I was just lighly making fun of the ambiguousnous of his parts of his "leak".
