Wow the GameCube version actually looks amazing for that generation
The tricky tick I think its the style its just so nice
Though it's just a cellshaded game, the graphics look like a cellshaded game made in 2015 or something
Look up dragon quest 8 if you like this style of graphics
It really did. I played it originally on the GC.
Super mario sunshine had great graphics for this generation too
2:46 Link's timing is so perfect
When you watch it in *360p* it doesn’t make much of a difference
いいゾ〜これ
最高っす！！

try 144p
yes it does blindfuck
@@8304u wow bro chill-
I hope nintendo ports this game over to the switch
no stop ports switch is the worst system
@@HairoxxFR u r a kid that bought the wii u and is pissed it's dead
i stop nintendo with gamecube LMAO
I would love that because I never got a wii u but got the switch
@@archiewade7582 take a gamecube or a wii and buy ww original always > all
Honestly, I think some of the style of the original gets lost in the Wii U version. I do like how vibrant and colourful it is though.
I agree, MatthewMatosis probably has the best video on exactly why that is. (mainly that the new graphics arent actually cell shading, its a different type of style altogether)
King Harkinian you are right, the wiiu version look like the characters were a candy glossy style or something. the light of the fire look different too, in the original it was like degraded, now it look like a real light...
+Meloco ; the "layer of blue" is a simulated atmospheric perspective effect, like how mountains turn bluer as they become more distant from the viewer. it's to give more of a sense of distance for far off objects, and gives things like distant islands/the giant tower in the middle of the map more of a silhouette. when you're on the ocean it helps make stuff like the transition between the "close" wave effects and "distant" wave effects look smoother and it fits the art style of the game pretty well. a big part of the game's artistic design is how islands go from silhouettes to actual detailed islands as you travel closer on your boat and the atmospheric perspective helps smoothen the transition.
None of the effects in the new game compliment the art style at all as they ruin the cel shaded look.
King Harkinian true

GameOver Jesse please do a Twilight Princess video!
WiiU looks the best no doubt. Hopefully WW is ported to Switch also since I gave away my Gamecube a long time ago to a friend.
GameOver Jesse I would love to see how Super Smash Bros. Melee looks in 4K
GameOver Jesse melee please
Aaaahhhh!!!! YOUR PLAYING MY BEST ZELDA REMIX IN THE BACKGROUNG XD
4K HD looks much better in my opinion because it looks more "cartoony". This is coming from someone who has only played the Wii U version.
The wii u version has gameplay enchancments and some models have a higher poly count compared to the 4k gamecube version
That flat blue water looks much better on GameCube than Wii U. It didn't need all those shadows disrupting it; the simplicity is the point. And the shade of blue is prettier.
The lighting in the Wii U version is not exactly an improvement. It's a stylistic change, which means it's not objectively better or worse, but rather opinion based. Simply put, the remake is no longer cell-shaded, so it cannot be called directly better.
+Ghabulous Ghoti great points. But the lighting changes weren't the only thing changed. The textures are improved as well. I know some like the new version, but others like the original more. Personally, I like both of them. What about you?
*****
I prefer the original. I do agree that the textures are improved and there was some gameplay improvement (though I don't like how they changed wind control), and I LOVE selfies, though the new graphics kill it for me, and I didn't need faster sailing or a redone Triforce quest enough for those changes to make me ignore the graphics, sadly.
no, it is objectively worse. It wasn't the intended original aestetic. And whatever decisions were made to make the game lookl the way it did.
jesus christr i fucking hate how that game looks
Barrel Barry I like the lighting effect, it makes the world feel more warm and tropical
@Barrel Barry u sure? The thing is that only the original art team can tell you that, the original decided to do what it did because of the technical shortcomings like having no shadows at all, and the new version doesn't really look bad, it does something a lot of toonshaded games, movies and media in general do that is having an extra layer for bounce lights and global illumination on top of the toon shade, they could have improved on top of the original style but they decided to expand on it because the toon shadow is still there but 2 extra layers and actual projection of light on top of the character
I'd like to see the wii u version in 4k.
The Wii U can only output 1080p, so can the Switch. Nintendo isn't really that interested in 4K.
Venus emulation
***** There's no functional Wii U emulator and probably won't be for a long time.
Nintendo Wii U Emulator, Cemu
***** Hardly Function Emulator, Cemu*
the wii u version is drop dead beautiful i don't get why it's so poorly received in the comments. Have you actually played it on TV? Cuz i was stunned by how gorgeous it looked.
my little brother is playing it right now. I love it.
The WiiU version has a lot of unneeded lighting effects. A perfect example is when your character gets an item from a chest, Link looks like he turns into clay. The bloom lighting is too bright. Among other issues. Gameplay wise though, the wiiu version is better.
Kinai I think it's gorgeous on Wii U. I like the extra effects. I think they compliment the artstyle and make everything come alive.
i have and idgaf
Montblanc Irony it was my first zelda game. :D
Both the WiiU and 4K versions are equally beautiful in their own respects.
The harder cell lighting meant to simulate a cartoon and the more full bodied atmospheric tropical lighting effects each generate a certain unique feeling the other doesn't have.
ok then
+Alasondro Alegre = Best comment
GameCube version is so damn good
With the art style the 4K is perfect , the WiiU is doing a bit too much with the lightings for my taste, makes everything look like silicone toy models .
I prefer the wii u version
That's it exactly! Everything looks like toys with the Wii U shaders.
Bruh thats the whole point of the toon link theme
@@mitch9309 It was supposed to look like paper cutouts. The lighting looks washed out and colors are weak.
I play it on the wii with the component cables to get that 480p resolution.
Still don't know why people here shit on Wii U version. Actually play it, it looks amazing.
Not as amazing as the original does in Dolphin.
@@bunsmasterbunny have fun playing without swift sail then
They got rid of the cell shade. That’s what I’ve been told
I prefer the wiiu version tbh. U should do a 4k version of the wiiu version
As soon as they make a decent emulator.
GameOver Jesse Cemu is moving pretty fast
cemu can run the game fully now graphics and all
JayOnPC as i said cemu can run the game fully
***** jay check out my YT channel i do cemu videos every release i covered zelda win waker many times also i have past videos on twitch
I pretty much prefer the Wii U version mostly because of the improvements and visuals rather than clarity of the display like 4k. Plus I only have a 1080p monitor which still looks amazing in current generation and I don’t really see myself upgrading it to 4K
The original flat shading of the GC version is very clean. If you could have the GC's lighting with the upscaled textures of the Wii U version, that's the right look for the game.
The bloom, the inexplicable gradient shading, and the color palette of the Wii U remake are not too hot. It looked like a very dated, overly-filtered 2007/8 game on the day it launched in 2013, whereas the original is famous for having a timeless aesthetic. If they had gotten that remake to look halfway decent, I would have bought a Wii U just to play it.
??????????????????????
No matter how much the graphics are improved, the gamecube version will ALWAYS be my favorite. It was the first Zelda game I've ever played and it just picks up so much nostalgia when I play it on the same disc.
TalesofTetra As cool as the HD remake looks, I will also always prefer the GameCube version. The graphics still impress me just as much in 2016 as they did in 2003.
Eu moro no brasil nao tenho dinheiro pra comprar porque custa caro onde moro e baixei em emulador so tenho diheiro pra 3ds
why does the frame rate on the Wii u one look so bad ?
Jordan Jones Probably the recording sofware, it runs fine on the console.
its the style
yea nintendo likes it that way
It's only 30 fps
@Vencel Tóth then why is it that Gamecube looks fine, but Wii U here didn't?
I like how it looks in 4K but I still love WWHD more with the improvements Nintendo made to the gameplay and it looking more vibrant than the Wii U game. I'd like to see how the Star Fox games and F Zero GX look in 4K if it's possible.
Really great comparison video. Great transitions and side by side.
Liked & Subscribed!
Watching these types of videos gives me some weird joy...the 6th generation of video games will forever be the greatest generation, hands down! Games like Wind Waker, San Andreas, Halo 2, Mario Sunshine, Ratchet n Clank, WoW...the list goes on and on! Some of those games graphics (such as this one) stand the test of time
when Cemu gets a full release you'll probably be able to play the Wii U version in 4k.
Yeah, might want to give that one a decade before it's worth doing though.
They've been making some steady progress though, it's looking even better with monthly updates to the emulator.
Johnny Torpedo It's gonna hit version 2.0 before you know it. It's literally the hardest working emulator dev team I've ever seen.
the cemu team puts out huge updates each week. the beginning of the year you couldn't really play squat it was essentially a tech demo, now its damn near fully functional and many games run pretty damn good
Yeah, so 4k support just hit Cemu... So much for your decade.
i really like the new shading system they put into the HD remake, but i don't own a wii u so i'm playing it on the gamecube instead
Is this a texture pack or is it just higher resolution?
where did you got it from ?
Also is the wii U content captured by yourself? Cause imo it looks rly weird and they got framedrops I just don't get on that scenes.
I played the original back in the day as a teenager when it was all new. I must admit that although the game is getting old in years, it certainly has aged very well and still looks very beautiful. The HD remake has got an incredible blend of bloom effects and vivid colours and dynamic lighting. There's no doubt that The Wind Waker is amongst the best titles in the Zelda franchise. Both original and remake.
I hope the remake gets ported to switch, even though I already own it on wii u. It's just too good to stay stuck on one console
Is the 4k version using any modded shaders or texture packs in this vid or is it just a straight up upscale?
I'm perfectly happy with the Wii U HD remake in 720p or 1080p. Looks gorgeous, but it really bothers me how in rare instances the frame rate can absolutely drop to its knees. Makes me really wish Nintendo either optimized it better or simply shot for 720p.
honestly I love how the 4k gamecube version looks
If only Nintendo released powerful systems to run these games, they would be stunning
You just wait for the Nintendo Switch sir!
Oliver Jackson 1080p 60fps no frame drops during explosions. Rumoured 4G. This console will be amazing.
Agathor747's gaming And a whole load of third party developed such as Ubisoft and Bethesda who want to develop their games for this console. And it has Zelda, so 100 points for it right away.
Oliver Jackson The Nintendo Switch won't even have the power of an xbox one from the looks of it and bethesda never confirmed that skyrim remastered is coming nevermind new games. I'm not gonna let myself be excited just to be disappointed like I was with the Wii U
Dislexic Potato did you see that guy playing breath of the wild on tv (Jimmy falon?) 1080p 60fps and no frame drops during big explosions. Some gaming PCs cants even do that. AND THIS IS MOBILE
I dont understand, what system is the 4k version on and how did you achieve this??
I kinda like the look of the original version in HD over the Wii U version. The Wii U version is better from a technical standpoint with the improved textures and lighting but still, the original somehow comes out on top for me.
Hey Jesse (and everyone else), you should use Hypatia's texture pack. It has 4K textures in it. You can also use Ishiiruka's settings (an amazing mod of Dolphin) to simulate the bloom if you really want, but I personally think it doesn't look great and I much prefer the aesthetic of the original.
The only thing I find better in the Wii U version is the modified triforce quest, but you can honestly simulate that with gecko codes too if you want.
I would love to see a comparison with the textures!
+TheShangryLlamas the 4K comparisons are only to show what the original game looks like in 4K. Not necessarily to show how good it could potentially look with mods and texture packs. I tried changing the lighting with my skyward sword comparison and received a ton of hate for "ruining" the game.
So all I'm doing now is simply rendering in 4K. However, this game already had an official HD remake so I decided to include it as well
Thank you I'm gonna check this out.
I think I would go with a clearer image of 4K HD over the increased texture quality of the Wii U version. I don't understand why the hell GameCube resolution was even included in this comparison.
to compare the original with the 4k version and the original with the wii u version
kernel fleak It was obvious the original is the inferior one among the 3
Yeah, but its important, because there are remasters that change the entire look of the game completely. Color filters and art style make up a big part of the games experience and theme. If they were changed a lot you will find a lot of angry fans that will be angry. Look at how people received the RE4 game when it was remastered. Most said that they dont recall the game to look the way it does now and that ruined their experience. He had to use the gamecube version to compare the changes that were made to it in the 4k version and in the wii u version.
kernel fleak Good point
0:44 Did you use ZeldaMaster's footage for The Windwaker Wii U?
I'm so early that I can only play 360p, wow!
P.S I hope you do Luigi's Mansion NeXt.
yeah, i usually schedule uploads, but I worked on this one all night so I just had it post as soon as it finished uploading.
***** You put a lot of effort into those comparisons, appreciate it.
believe it or not, this one started as just me casually playing the game at 4k. Then realized I could just record footage while I played, then I ended up making the full video. Didn't plan on it, but in the end, I'm glad I did.
Didn't know you gamed at 4k.
i think super mario galaxy would be cool
I feel as though the original and 4k have a better art style
J310 it is the same?
Scientistic Thug While the original is all cell shaded, the Wii U version sometimes looks like it has uglier 3d clay people
How is cel shading awkward? The game was made to look like a cartoon which is why they blend together and look like a painting.
J310 you probably play PC that’s why. The Wii U was the best one of the 3
As having both a wii u and a pc that can play it at 4k ssaa 8x ect. I do prefer the dolphin style the way they did the bloom is horrible I'm a fan of bloom effects too only if they didn't make it to where it looks like it washes out color the wii U is good and a upgrade over pure game cube but dolphin in 4k or even just 1080p is a toss up to prefences
Wii U version looks kinda blurry and too bright. I don't like blur effects I prefer it to be more clean and crispy. Capiche?
Ty for the video.
Now we need a comparaison with the Wii U version emulated with Cemu in 4k.. ^^
I didn't realize how old this was until he said "NX"
"now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time"
OK TH-cam, I clicked the damn video. Happy now?
I laughed at this. hope you enjoyed it. I'm just glad youtube is giving my channel a well needed push.
i did but then the comments made me cringe
Do I just have to have a 4K tv and the picture wii automatically be waaay better on GameCube or is that 4K for wii u
OrangePotatoGraphics 67 is that a yes then?
If you want 4k, you're going to have to emulate the game on a pc. Wii and Gamecube is max capable of 480p/576i and the Wii u is capable of a max 1080p.
native 4k windwaker look amazing! For TP HD though (another subject), I hope we get a remake.We need higher polygon counts on all the models and better textures
Is the 4k version just a Dolphin upscale, are does it use custom files?
4k hd is def the superior one
keeping the original style and cellshading
The wii u kinda messed the style up with the light reacting 3d models
The Wii U version is atrocious
Why am I even watching this I only have a 1080p monitor
1:49 Great video, appreciate the work you put in.. But zooming in like this isn't giving you a good idea of what it actually looks like. Whatever program you used to blow up the images is resampling them at a much higher resolution. Zooming into the image would give you the actual pixels, not a blurred mess. The 4K version makes zero sense in all cases because your eye can't resolve the difference if you're sitting a reasonable distance from your tv/monitor.
am i the only that was like "dam that guitar work was sick!!?" lol!!!
The Wii U remake is a masterpiece. WW was already a game that was timeless, graphically, and still held up well a decade later. But the HD version perfected it. No matter what graphical leaps gaming makes in the future, WWHD is always going to look beautiful and timeless.
nuff said
Am I the only one who thinks it's hilariously adorable how Link's face keeps flipping back from °o° to - ~ - in the first scene with Aryll? He's just half asleep on his feet, the poor birthday boy
Is the 4K HD version just simulated or can it be played on an emulator somewhere?
In case you didn't know, Cemu Emulator (Wii-U) v1.7.0 allows for mods now. I've been playing Wind Waker HD (Wii-U version) in 4K, that is basically the ultimate version. Also, if you have a decent cpu thats running at least 4ghz you should have zero problem maintaining constant 30fps besides 2 points in the game.
1. Outdoor area of Outset Island
2. Certain parts inside Dragon Roost Island vocano
The game should be ported to Switch (or a later console) and feature an option to choose between the different visual and sound styles. Much like the Monkey Island remasters and The anniversary editions of Halo 1 and 2. I would also like to see it at 60fps like they did on Skyward Sword HD
Is this supposed to be an endorsement of the Wii U version? Because thanks to that sweet, sweet lighting, colours and textures, _Wind Waker HD_ for the Wii U still looks by far the best, once again demonstrating that it's not just about pixel count but what is done with the pixels. that matters.
Windwaker HD looks worse in my opinion because of all the unneeded "enhancements" that detract from the original art style. The shadows are nice even if they are unneeded and the higher quality textures are great (Except for the vines behind the bomb house what the heck happened there) but the light bloom, over saturated colors, and gradient clay like character models really look ugly in comparison.
Stuff like making the Frozen Hyrule section Sepia tones instead of black and white is just baffling as well as looking in my opinion vastly inferior.
I could understand the attachment to style some people have if the original game actually had with chunky outlines typical of cel-shading to better match the official illustrations, but it didn't even bother to do that, opting for the non-contoured "toon-shading", a look which I believe WWHD better fulfills.
I find WWHD's smoother, buffered shading much more appealing than the clunky shading of the original. It's also brighter and more colorful yet more subdued and subtle (like night time). That's just more dynamic range to me. I honestly can't think of a single thing that the original does that WWHD doesn't do better.
But to each their own.
are you using composite out on the gamecube?
I like the graphics and lighting enhancements on the Wii U better (I use Cemu), but I like the blues better on the Dolphin. In my opinion the sky and ocean looks better on Dolphin. It would be awesome to have a video like this that also compares 4k and 1080p texture packs with Cemu. The guitar work is awesome!
Wow. "Nintendo NX." Forgot about that.
Just use a HD texture pack, makes all the textures look great

Personally I think the Wii U and 4K HD version are about the same in how good looking they are.
It just depends if you want to look at a more realistic, vibrant, polished version (Like most Zelda games) of Windwaker (Wii U), or if you want the sharpened, cartoonish look that Nintendo was going for when they first made the game (4K HD). Both of the versions still remind me of when I was a little kid.
ur seriously telling me it was on game cube
Andrew Antunez What's the problem?
Connor Daley theres no problem it's just in always wanted this game but I was like awww back then bc it was for wii and now I found it it was for game cube I still have it and I want to get it
Connor Daley i*
Connor Daley i found out*
Andrew Antunez Oh
4k HD version looks far better
Barney W I dont know. At first i thought same. But on the thumbnail for example i like the Wii u Version more. With the blurry outlines it seems that the models are more 3D and they have a better connection with the enviroment. It's like the old NES games. They are looking great on old TVs because they are blurry and u cant see every pixel. So it is with 4k. It is not nassesary too see everything clear and sharp.
It does look better. The lighting effects added to the Wii U version are awful and clash with the original art style so much.
I agree, except for the shadows. The 4K version is missing most of the shadows that are in the Wii U version.
yep
Barney *From the gamecube version, not the wii u
I run this on isharuka dolphin with hd texture pack in 4k it's stunning better than all other versions
So wait is the 4K one an upscale of the wii u or gamecube one?
I don't play this game never have, but why the hell would they change the shading? It looked better with that sharp cel-shading IMO.
I would not want anything more than this on switch
Thank you @GameOver Jesse ! Nice job !!! 🙂.
Excuse me, how do you play it on 4k resolution??...thanks in advance
I would say WWHD is mostly better. I don't like the day lighting with the cel shading, and they went a little overboard with the rupee/peace of heart swithing too. Wii U looks much better in dark scenes.
***** Cemu already runs mostly full speed. They said it would be harder to upscale because of Wii U games being 720p and 1080p.
***** Poor choice of words, but cemu always renders at original resolution (currently)
***** Yeah I think he says it in other vids.
yeah it's not blurry but i still see pixelation.
James Machuga Aliasing is the technical name, and antialiasing is the solution.
why isn't antialiasing used in the 4k one when he zooms in one the old man i see Aliasing
Of course you'll see pixelation. No matter what resolution you render the game at, if you zoom in enough it'll start getting blurry. Also, not even 4k can completely eliminate aliasing in games.
what can?
You're seeing aliasing, and to the people above, using anti-aliasing on 4k is a stupid idea.
The user DOES NOT see aliasing, we do because we are watching a 4k video on a tiny window, if you fullscreen it helps but it doesnt fix it because 1080p monitors don't have enough pixels to sharpen the image the way you would see it on a 4k monitor/tv
You should’ve done some distance rendering comparisons. I wanna see dragon roost island from far away
My other comparison videos have lots of this.
What console or how would I play the 4K version? I’m confused sorry
PC
4k hd looks better to me. They took away the charm with the lighting in the Wii U version.
i totally disagree, i think 4K wind waker looks considerably better than the Wii U remake. The Wii U version's bloom and ambient occlusion effects seem to suck the colour out of everything, either that or they deliberately recoloured the world to reduce saturation. The lighting in the original is much flatter too, which i think was the goal for the game's art style. I think the HD version would look better if they avoided changing lighting altogether (except maybe to improve shadow resolution) and just upgraded some textures and remade lots of the models for fewer jaggies.
I know this video is almost 5 years old at this point but Cemu (Wii U emulator) is now at a point where you can play all of WWHD in 4k.
and it is amazing!
@@GameOverJesse It is, in fact, the greatest thing on this planet.
So the 4k HD version is just the GC ROM played on Dolphin with 4K settings and textures? How the hell did they manage that? The up scaling, the re-texturing, etc.?
I'd take any version over the remake, the excessive bloom is just annoying.
The flat colors suit it, to me. Makes it look more like a cartoon than just 3D models with no texture mapping.
Bloom is usually fine but it's really overkill on this to me.
i perfer the gamecube version
Link for the electric guitar cover of Outset Island that starts at 3:12?
Just dusted my GameCube off (haven’t played it in almost 20 years[jfc]) and started a new windwaker play through. The game still holds up and it’s beautiful
It's amazing. I still have my GameCube in front of my desk
"The Wii U looks better."
I actually didn't think so....
Agreed
I personally prefer the Wii U version. As it was said on the video it's more than a bigger resolution, there are better textures and colors. It was a great experience for me playing this game on Wii U, everything looking more "alive", not to mention the great improvement the sky had.
+Krebis Lauton Agreed. The zoomed in comparisons do not account for the incredible overhauls in other areas besides resolution. The Wii U version, if you actually play it, looks way better.
I
The game isn't meant to look real or alive, it's meant to look like an 80's/90's cartoon which had very simplistic lighting and deep coloration. The cel shading is meant to make it blend together like 2D animation does. The Bloom not only goes against the entire point of the art style but it also wasn't well implemented as the characters look like clay models sometimes and the shadow effects aren't even dependent on what time of the day it is, they stay visible even if it's night time.
Textures are the only thing that is objectively better in the Wii U version (Depending on the texture, the vines on the back of the bomb house look awful in the Wii U version in my opinion.) The colors, lighting, art style, gamma, black level, and everything else is subjectively better/worse, however it is true that it's not what they envisioned the game as looking like.
gamecube :)
Personally i like the GameCube version, although it is true its quite blurry in the background i think that adds a nice Depth of Field effect to it as when you get closer it is no longer blurry
around 1'58 shows a 3 way comparison shot and it looks like the framerate in the wii u is significantly worse than the gamecube upscaled .. obviously this would depend on the hardward its being run on, but actually it seems to me that dolphin emulation is actually best, in spite of the improved textures (which didnt seem noticeable at all in this video) and the lighting..
Wiiu has disgusting Bloom and removes the cell shading look with that gradient shading. That flat cartoony look is gone.
Yeah, I agree. Resolution and texture quality don't mean anything when the rest of the art style looks awful in comparison. Something being in HD and with crisper textures doesn't make it automatically look better if it messes up the entire point of the original art style which is something every Zelda HD/3D re-release doesn't seem to understand.
Wii U's version is gorgeous stfu
No one's saying the Wii U version is ugly. We're just saying we think the original is more gorgeous.
You don't need to tell people to shut up over something like this.
Completely agree. That Bloom washes out the color and the gradient shading just seems off.
True
Please stop calling current gen "next gen"
Is the nintendo switch part of the post-next-gen consoles? :D
TheMursk If we keep with the model we've been using this entire time, then the Nintendo Switch would fall into the 9th generation. But honestly all companies seem to be changing the tactics they've used historically so describing things by generations might end up being a thing of the past anyways. Microsoft said they are not going to be releasing consoles in generations anymore and want the console market to be more like the PC market. Sony is also releasing different versions of the PS4 sort of following this trend. Nintendo seems to be the only one who might be sticking with the generations model but then again we'll be using a term that only accurately describes a single company.
+Venus Did you not understand the question or did you just ignore it?
Ryan Denziloe
Aww, does nuance hurt your little brain?
Venus Pathetic response, truly pathetic.
Is there a functioning and reliable Wii U emulator yet? I would love to see the remake at 4K and compare that to the orginal on Dolphin at 4K.
no, sadly. the best one is still running poorly
holy shit 4k looks amazing..
Question is.. Is the Nintendo Switch powerful enough to do windwaker cube version at 4k?
sselemaNrM The Wii U version still looks better.
Big Z try 42inch tv LQL
CreepyQuantizer I'm saying I like the changes they put into the HD remake, such as the shadows and whatnot. I'm sure the 4k TV would look awesome tho, but this is TH-cam lol.
Am i the only one who thinks the Wii U version completely butchered the game's visual style?
That's not even cel-shaded, they just added bloom all over the screen and made the game run like shit. It looks terrible in comparison.
Yeah, you're the only one.
no many people share is opinion just as many that share yours
Twilight Princess 4k comparison pls daddy pls
I get a lot of requests but I will try my best to get to twilight princess was aoon
thx daddy
I think I like the 4K version the best over the Wii-U 1080p version
I kind of like that far objects look a little blurry and not super clear...also in the 4k screen there doesnt seem to be any effect of nothing like breeze or some other kind of effect, it almost looks too clear to even look real.
the 4k gamecube one is great, but the Wii u version is still so much prettier
if only it was possible to run the gamecube version at 4k
you mean the wii u version? xD
The Wii U version doesn't seem to be running at 60fps. Many drops noticed. Why not mention this in your analysis.
because the dropped frames is just his fotage or capture card
When we se an object from far away, we dont se clear, and in the "4k" texture pack, they remove the fog that have in the original gc version, i dont know why, because our human vison are not perfect to se long distances at all.
