I'm certainly pleased with what I have seen so far of the new game, the new mechanics and world look to be fun and we still haven't seen all of it. I don't think the graphics are too great in certain shots due to the Wii U's limitations but on the NX the poor texturing that exists in some places will probably be corrected.
Even so, 6 years to wait for a game is a long time. There are other great open world games that have been made in shorter time periods. I still think that however good this title is there is the possibility of it not living up to expectations brought about by the long development time. What would be even worse is if this is another Skyward Sword, a game that a large number of long time fans were disappointed with, especially after a 5 year development time.
I have my worries for the title, most of them based on what we haven't been shown yet. I worry the world could just be so distracting and activities so numerous that the main plot gets sidelined. A problem I found with fallout 4 is that there felt to be no real urgency to the plot and the main story took a backseat. I hope it goes more the way of the Witcher 3 where there were many side quests but the main story still felt like the focus. This brings me to the next point. Often in Zelda games the plots can be quite simplistic and in SS's case (but not exclusively) contradicts established lore. I hope they don't take too many liberties with it and enrich what we already have and explain some of the burning questions of the fans rather than retcon a load of things.
With SS the musical score was also sub par. There were a few good pieces of music but the majority was forgettable and some music was downright inappropriate in my eyes such as the battle with the stalfos enemies where a waltz plays which made me want to dance with the bony bastard rather than fight it.
Do you think this game can really be worth the wait? If my worries are laid to rest in the coming months or when playing I think it can, though of course I see the very real possibility of it not living up. What are your concerns about the upcoming game and do you think it can live up to it's long development time?
