​E3 2014: Hyrule Warriors Impressions: A Different Breed of Zelda | Zelda Informer

ZI writes: "Hyrule Warriors is an interesting hybrid of action gaming, and developer Tecmo Koei must walk a fine line when adapting its classic gameplay formula for one of the most iconic and, dare I say it, legendary gaming series around. From what I experienced on the E3 show floor, Hyrule Warriors will probably be the best Dynasty Warriors game to hit the market, but is that enough to warrant a purchase?"

This game should hold me over until zelda U releases. Lets hope they add some decent dlc until then.

It may be a different breed of Zelda, but its the same breed of Musou as ever. Of all the things about the game that are too much to hope for, good DLC finds itself easily in third place, just behind "consistent framerate with no pop-in" and "a coherent narrative."

In terms of game content and fun, you should be able to wring a good 40-75 hours out of it, though. Still, Zelda WiiU is a long, long, long ways off.

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds498d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3499d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese499d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits498d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

The cool thing about the PS2 chainsaw display was that there was a (kind-of) hidden compartment at the back which was the exact size to hold the PS2 steelbook.

I have that controller but sadly I lost the main cord. And its not something that was anything close to being standard or easy to find.

PrimeVinister1185d ago

One of my friends had it back in the day and I had wondered alout why it had a detachable cord that you could lose.

My friend then said it was so they could manufacture the one unit and then fire its appropriate cord in the appropriate box.

But then we realised each version has a different socket on the unit itself - so there was zero point in it except for collectors to lose the cable.

You know the designers are on r/, gamecollecting, laughing away.

I kept my cord in the "hidden" little brown drawer on the base of the unit.
