The development length is starting to be a HUGE question mark for me...

If you have to ask this, you did not play elden ring. It's not even a question of why they delayed - they were intimidated by elden ring. All we've seen about botw 2 centers around hyrule castle rising from the ground, changing the map and expanding on vertical exploration. Well, half way through elden ring theres a comet that strikes, changes the map and expands on vertical exploration by opening new paths to subterranean locations. The entire premise of botw 2 is literally a footnote in elden ring.

>and a huge chunk of the open world is largely the same
You really have no idea whether or not this will be the case.
BotW2 could have 200% new land to explore in addition to the entirety of the old map. We just don't know.

The existence of the old map really says close to nothing in regards to how much new space there will be to explore.

because
>a huge chunk of the open world is largely the same
is your headcanon, the new maps are probably even bigger than the current one

Nigger, the game has been in development longer than BotW1 and that game was literally a brand new engine on an entirely new system lmfao.

That and and nobody wants to go up against Starfield in November either. They're waiting for an uncompetitive release window

Who cares, just be patient. It’s not like it’s getting fucking cancelled, it’ll come out eventually.

> so now the game is also being cut down to work on the stock Switch
The most brain dead take on all of Yea Forums , nobody could possibly be fucking retarded enough to think this.

okay and? it'll fucking come out when its done. quit acting like a cultist and go play something else in the meantime

I genuinely think they're going full schizo in a good way.

BotW1 was fucking good, I don't care about the memes, the actual engine itself allows so much potential for BotW2. It reminds me of MGSV (MGS6 would have been pure kino had Kojima not left). By that I mean the reason BotW1s content is so limited/repetitive is because they spent all of the focus on making one of the best gaming engines i've ever seen.

I genuinely think BotW2s open world is:

1. Going to have huge verticality in terms of underground exploration and sky shit
2. Going to have flying (upgraded glider)
3. Full blown underwater exploration (they already wanted this for the 1st game but didn't have the time)
4. And of course, actual dungeons, caves, ruins and content

I trust Nintendo, they haven't let me down with a Zelda yet (Skyward Sword included, it's the Dark Souls 2 of Zelda games, bad compared to the rest even though it's way better than Wind Waker, cope but still better than 90% of games out there) and given how much development time and *hush hush* has surrounded the development of this game, i'm convinced whenever they show what they've been working on, it's going to blow our minds.

I know it's cool to shit on BotW because it's popular same way Elden Ring will be hated on in a few months because it's going a similar (if not, even moreso) route. But when BotW demo dropped at E3, this board was flooded with hype threads. Then the game released and to this day it's still talked about daily. It's that good.

I genuinely think BotW2 is going to be the greatest open world game ever made and I say that as someone who genuinely doesn't even have BotW1 in my top 5 open world games of all time because the actual content itself was too mediocre/repetitive, but I saw the potential for the sequel the minute I explored the Great Plateau.

This delay only benefits PChads as well because the Switch emulator is only getting more and more refined with each passing week.

Nothing. They just want a big title for the Switch pro release.

Waiting for horizon 3 so they can release a week after and win

>IT'LL COME OUT WHEN IT'S READY #Cyberpunk2077
>calling anyone else a cultist
lol, lmao even

based, I agree with everything you said, comments on Wind Waker included. Underwater exploration is going to be fucking kino.

Elden Ring is a bad broken game that no one in Kyoto cares about. The game is delayed because Nintendo is not fascistic to let their devs work from home

>IT'LL COME OUT WHEN IT'S READY #Cyberpunk2077
Are you pretending that happened even though it was clearly launched when it was and with roadmap garbage to make investors happy?

We know it's made by the same people as the previous game, which suffered from very lengthy development and delays. So if we use the previous game as a metric, a game which repeated a lot of content to fill out its world, we can come the the conclusion that they're just probably not very good at making games.

cybershit is a perfect example of terrible devs releasing and unfinished shitty game. there is zero reason to rush botw2. stop acting like a retarded child

>What could they possibly be doing that is taking this long when the engine and a huge chunk of the open world is largely the same?
Making more content?
I don't get these retarded questions, do you think just because they have an engine and a lot of assets to reuse that they'll just shit it out in no time?

>REEEEEE IT'S A DLC RESKIN LAZY ASSET FLIP CASHGRAB
>REEEEEE WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG
gee I wonder

BotW has truly mindbroken an entire generation of gamers

They know they can't compete with an actually good and FREE game on the market, so they are desperately trying to "fix" it.

And that's my point you cultist nigger, there's not one argument for BotW2 having this long of a development time when it's literally running on the same engine as BotW1 on the same platform as well. Period.

Either it's developmental hell or they're legit stalling for a new console release.

I'm not a cultist, you're just a schizo pretending two people and two companies are the same.

This
Don't even try to deny it

maybe the engine and open world isn't largely the same?

Yes, everyone reasonable knows the Switch2colori is coming.

>turn the series into a Soulsborne.
I'm hating you to death I hope you can feel it

You mean the 'New' Nintendo Switch, right?

Hopefully making actual dungeons

>turn the series into a Soulsborne.
I'm so glad that no one who matters will ever listen to you.

just leave bud

people have been saying "new console" for almost 5 fucking years now and eventually it'll be true and you'll say HA I WAS RIGHT even though you were "predicting" switch 2 electric boogaloo for a decade

Why? I can't call out the retards who call botw2 a lazy dlc but also wonder why it's taking so long?

>Yea Forums is more than one person

its either
1. better switch or new console
2. ER made the ceiling higher. Nintendo doesnt want BoTW to get compared to ER. Negative feedback/PR and comparison is one thing they dont want to happen

I just want to be realistic here.

Are you legitimately retarded?

See:

>I just want to be realistic here.
>Nintendo doesnt want BoTW to get compared to ER.

lmao

>2. ER made the ceiling higher. Nintendo doesnt want BoTW to get compared to ER.
I honestly hope this is true because it just means BotW2 will be even better simply as a result of ER pushing the standard

I hope that because it has taken so long, the game won't be just Breath of the Wild 2.0 and there will be a huge amount of additions over the base game.

My personal pet theory is that they're doing a whole "dark world" thing alongside the regular BOTW 1.5 stuff. Wouldn't be the first time a Zelda game does that.

Hence why they cannot reveal the game's full title because it directly references that, and also why they're being so coy about showing gameplay footage.

are you?

you've also been saying that for 5 years

Yeah bro they’ll totally release a new console when the OLED released a few months ago, the current switch family with its software is still selling like hot cakes in the middle of a pandemic, shortage of components and a fucked supply lines. In under a year with zero hints or announcements no less except for the same old shitty leaks.
Eventually when new hardware comes out you fags will say “SEE I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG!” despite the fact that rumors of a new switch pro have been circulating since 2018.

>only 53 results
i liked BOTW but the dev cycle for 2 is just plain ridiculous

Trust the plan

>there's not one argument for BotW2 having this long of a development time
They could be adding a bunch of stuff. It's not like there wasn't room for improvement in the content department.

sure I did
I made your post too. every post without the new IP number was made by me

They crapped out MM in like 11 months and that’s regarded as one of the best 3D zelda games

>people have been saying "new console" for almost 5 fucking years now
What the fuck are you talking about
So because someone was a moron in 2018 means anyone saying Switch 2 might be coming in 2023 is also a moron?

How fucking stupid are you?

You got the wrong guy user

I hate waitfags and leakfags so much. The only thing I wait for is if the current system takes off and it’s not a massive blunder. Saved me from buying a WiiU.

>everyone on Yea Forums is the same person because this image has been used 53 times
Yeah, you're retarded.

OP is a tertiary that only like to talk about hte reations to a videogame, he don't own any system and never played any game since minecraft when he was 8, on his mom's computer
Prove me wrong.

Ok so you are braindead
I posted an example of people who are doing exactly what I said, bitching about botw2 being a lazy cashgrab while also bitching that it's taking so long. I never said anything about "veveryone on Yea Forums is the same person", dumb faggot retard cocksucker. now kill yourself.

I can't wait for more underwater kino. If you glitch the camera in BotW you can already see the seas and rivers are quite lively with corals and fishes even though you're not even supposed to see it. We're definitely getting at least one major underwater zone.

waitfaggots are so fucking annoying
>everybody gets to play X
>years pass
>X is finally released on Y system, years after everybody has played it and doesn’t give a shit
>THANKS FOR BETA TESTING KEKS!
I’m sure the switch pro is just around the corner buddy! It’s only been 5 years what’s a little longer?

You have to be completely retarded to think that BotW2 got delayed because of Elden Ring. The fucking series infamous for delays totally got delayed because another game came out. What were they scared of the last 10 times a Zelda game was delayed? You people are fucking stupid as shit if you think Nintendo gives a fuck about ER. 2022 is already packed with new releases which includes 2 Pokémon games, one if which will be a holiday title.

What's the power difference between the WiiU and the Switch? BotW2 not being limited to the WiiU anymore, I feel, gives them a lot more room to experiment and optimize things that 1 lacked in.

And that’s why the game is extremely small and uses the 3 day time limit to extend the gameplay.
Are you seriously comparing the scope of a game like MM to the sequel of BotW? They’re not even on the same planet.
