Wind waker is cel shaded, while Twilight Princess is texture based. There are no similarities between how graphics are implemented in those 2 games at all.
That's complete hogwash. There's every similarity. Wind Waker only used cel shading on the characters. The environments are made exactly the same as the Twilight Princess ones are.
Fortunately for the Wind Waker, most of the textures are either really simple, cartoony or sometimes even just plain solid colors, so the trasition to HD was much easier.
The geometry can also be bit rough without being too noticeable because of the art style.
The graphics aren't what they could've been if they'd reworked everything but the textures are definitely A LOT better. I am interested in the changes to gameplay Reggie mentioned, and I'm probably gonna get it for the amiibo and soundtrack. I hope they fix the barren over world and I don't really think they could because it's a decent part of the game but the vessels of light sections.
@Haru17: You used my comeback against me... too shay
Also i just wanna say i dont hate twilight princess i only hate majora's mask and are the screenshots from TP HD?
The NX is going to be delayed to Holiday 2017 you heard it here first, also It should be pretty obvious what my favorite game of all time is cough Skyward Sword cough
If they applied a few new textures, it was really spotty. The game looks MUCH better in dolphin.
THIS is how you do new textures.
A few things. Firstly the link you showed for the HD remake is the rip from the live stream rather than the higher quality version that's being thrown around. And when you take that into account it becomes clear that simply emulating the game at a higher resolution doesn't come close to the HD remake. Certainly not as good as the screenshots or any of the scenes they've shown which show off the improvements. Which is telling given that the "Dolphin emulator" video was rendered on a PC at 4K then downsampled to and uploaded at 1080p. The trailers we have seen have been fairly heavily compressed 720p.
The video with the redone textures? Well sure it looks pretty good and probably close to what the HD remake will look like. The key difference though is that the footage they've shown so far is of the same style as the original. I wonder how much of you saying the re-texture is "better" is simply you noticing that they've also changed the style. Different != better. I also have to wonder what you think a full team of game devs are doing working on this game. Do you really think there won't be any improvement? If so I think you're seriously underestimating the sort of talent that's required of people working in a studio like that.

Basically.
Life is Strange is the same way. Those vague, impressionistic art styles are wholly dependent on lighting to not look like just the flattest plastic trash.
@Cheesehead302: The ability to play this with regular controls without having to shelve out alot of $ for a mint condition of the GameCube disc is what sells me on it, also the improved texture work as well. The added gameplay changes Reggie hinted at will be the topping of the cake for me xD
I'm waiting for details on the gameplay changes before deciding if to buy this. Though given that I somehow missed out on the original Twilight Princess, it's a significantly more likely purchase for me than Wind Waker HD ever was.

Well, it's not like they've made a game that plays better than it in the mean time, so I'm gonna go ahead and say it'll be the same.
I've spent the last 10 years insulting Twilight Princess because I didn't enjoy it half as much as other 3D Zelda's, but I'm actually pretty pumped for this. It was a very good game, but I remember being unimpressed by the way it didn't seem to have it's own identity, it felt too much like an Ocarina re-tread. Having since played (and not particularly enjoyed) Skyward Sword, I think I'm ready to re-evaluate this game on its own merits.
TBH I'd be up for this alot more (as well as other Zelda games) if they had used the graphic styles of other Zelda games like the painting style of Skyward Sword or the toon effect of Wind Waker.
Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda game but I'd imagine for veteran fans of the series probably had a bit of fatiuge at the LTTP/OOT level structure. It was the third Zelda game I owned (well not really if you consider my second was the gamecibe collection .)
I know some people are disappointed that its not a full on remake, but I don't think people realize remaking a 6th Generation game is akin to making a whole new game as evidenced by Halo 2 Anniversary and Ratchet and Clank. Wind Waker got by in large part due to its art style aging really well.
WAT!
Hey check out my awesome new youtube channel shingi70 where I update weekly on the latest gaming and comic news form a level headed perspective.
Saying TP has no identity because of it aping OoT's structure is like saying Fallout has no character because it's an open world game, like GTA.
TP is absolutely dripping with personality. All of the music, aesthetics, and directing tie together to form it's style.
It's Identity is that trash looking Zelda game.

At least it doesn’t look like trash compared to Zelda Cdi. Oh wait......
Bad taste.
What are you talking about? Zelda CDI is one of the greatest game of all time. Just look at the graphics for the game. It's absolutely better than Twilight Princess. Just take a look.
You gotta to be blind if you can't see the difference.
Plus, the famous title is going to be available on 3DS next year. If you haven't catch my drift, I'm joking around.
