While many anticipate playing the game, now delayed until 2011, I found myself feeling un-inspired by Shigeru Miyamoto's demonstration of the game during Nintendo's press conference. The revered game designer's technical difficulties didn't exactly inspire my confidence in the game. But more importantly, I thought the game looked ugly -- like a mishmash of the last three or four games with no cohesive aesthetic. See the screenshot above to see what the game looks like filtered through a PR firm, touched up in Photoshop and shrunk down to fit into a blog post. On a big, HD monitor the game doesn't look nearly that good.
The crime is that we need not be here. It's all your fault that the new Zelda game looks like crap. And I'll tell you why.
I kind of think he has a point.
