@newhuman: I agree. I'm already pretty invested in VICE as a tv channel, and kind of warming up to some of the Noisey stuff. Hoping the gaming channel becomes something halfway interesting and not a Kotaku style mess.
Just to play devils advocate here... The world looks stretched out and somewhat sparse. Crafting, durability, and I'm guessing load limits, are dated padding for action RPGs at this point. The control scheme sounds awkward as I'm holding my wii U controller. If Skyrim was fully voiced 5 years ago this game should be able to voice Link and like 5-10 other npcs. I don't think this game justifies its large open world setting as everything people seem to love about it were features found in wind waker. I feel like people buy Zelda games but never finish them.
Uh, but I'll buy it day one with an amiibo. No question.
Gamers don't see consoles the same way we see cell phones. This won't work. Most people skip generations until it makes sense to upgrade anyhow. We're not all shameless idiot consumers. Whatever.
Neither console has enough of a library (for my taste) to warrant such iteration. I'm hoping this "smartphone" model crashes and burns. The software will simply never catch up and we'll have another 3 years of Chinese-ported garbage.
