What the hell is taking Nintendo so damn long to release BotW

If this was a Sony game we would already have:

>the E3 demo released on the eShop for free.
>a roaming simulator spin-off about the Old Man. Doesn't have anything to do with Zelda. It's just to show off the millions of foliage calculations.
>dedicated tie-in prequel running on the same engine, called "The One-Hundred Years." Basically shows how Link ends up in the stasis pod.
>a CGI movie announcement and trailer.
>a new Zelda game that's unrelated but uses the same world and engine.


YES I AM MAD. I am mad that all Nintendo has to give us is a picture of Spectacle Rock 5 months away from the game's release despite it not being in Great Plateau. It's like that comic where Mario kicks a guy in the balls and says "Welcome to the Ambassador Program, bitch." while tossing him some GBA carts. So the game is based on the original Zelda? No shit, Sherlock?! Am I supposed to jump in glee that you spoiled that it's not those two jagged mountains Link is climbing in the trailer, but in fact another place?

...Does link have a mask of truth smartphone?
I just got the worst chills, how have I not seen this before. I think I may have just lost all faith in nintendo, is this really what they think people want?

I want it so yeah. They're right and you're wrong.

It was delayed to release it on the Switch, obviously. And they want to do it right, which is why it;s been in development for probably 4+ years at this point.

It's a Sheikah Slate. And yeha it basically acts as a smart phone/tablet. It's the usual "Japanese open world all in one" device.

>sony is square enix

There is literally hours of gameplay tjat was shown and recorded out there. Way more than just a photograph.

Not entirely sure what this thread is supposed to be about.

I'm saying that Spectacle Rock is not in the Great Plateau, but Nintendo spoiled it for us like it means something when there is neither footage of said place, nor journalist commentary of it. Like "let's give them this arbitrary picture to remind them that the game stretches beyond more than Great Plateau but offer them no chance to play the game itself."

It's a grade-A dick move.

So where is the last guardian then?

Name a single Sony game where anything close to that happened

Do we need to experience it before the game is released?

Keeping some mystery surrounding the plateau and allowing people to explore a great amount of the game without spoilers is pretty fucking cool.

It is rare that it is even done, let alone playing any part of it and instead having just a picture or trailer to stare at till release.

Quit being an entitled cunt.

Sony games aren't fun.

They also lie about everything.

>It is rare that it is even done, let alone playing any part of it and instead having just a picture or trailer to stare at till release.

Uh, you mean like every freaking game ever made?

f-fuck...

this
shut up OP, you're like those people who can't watch a film without having memorized the trailer

They're probably still optimizing it. It's a heavy game, and Nintendo makes sure all their shit runs at 60 fps.

>Wii u sold like shit
>Zelda is one of/the highest budget title/s Nintendo has
>They want the highest profit possible to justify the expense
>Best way to do this is hype the shit out of next console that will also have the game and pray for better sales
Its not that hard to figure OP.

>don't spoil me! i like to play blind!

Holy fucking shit kill yourself

How about that Last Guardian?

It would also release with millions of bugs and glitches, a majority of the content cut out for DLC, and would consistently drop down to 15-20 fps. Nintendo doesn't always hit it out of the park, but their games always run perfectly.

>but pokemon double battles!
That's gamefreak.

Tfw when the IQ of Sup Forums has dropped exponentially since the last time I checked in.

Imagine that you've been a Zelda fan all your life and for all that time you've been waiting for Nintendo to acknowledge your favorite GoAT the original Zelda. For your ease of relatability, imagine that it's Ocarina of Time. Then come E3 2016, they've done it. They've made a Zelda game based on the world of Zelda 1/Ocarina of Time and they're keeping things respectably coy until its release. A release you've been waiting for 5 long years since the last disappointingly awful release disgraced the series.

Now imagine that 5 months before the release they decide to post a picture saying "OH BY THE WAY HERE'S WHERE YOU TOOK DOWN GANON IN THAT GAME! lololol. So retro XD." With no further context.

You'd be freaking mad too. But you guys have bad tastes, so I shouldn't be surprised you don't understand.

>waiting for 5 long years since the last disappointingly awful release disgraced the series.

But ALBW is a great mainline Zelda game.

Also I don't see how this new Zelda relates at all to OoT besides the Temple of Time which may come from that timeline?

Lots of things in just plateau suggest that this game may merge the timelines all back together.

If it was Sony it would have been delayed for another 4 years
