This is interesting. More than that, it's nice to hear an actual scientist talking. How can you tell? In a way that's more sound-bitey than actually logical, he admits it probably won't work. But really, that's science for you. Don't presuppose it, do the test to find out!
So yeah, it probably won't, and he'll accept those results (unlike SOME people out there, you listening ESP researchers who haven't accepted results for over 100 years?), but if it does, he should know the moment he starts the experiment when he recieves a message telling him it worked.
If we have more web space now, can we finally put the old archives up online again? That'd be awesome! (and if they need formatting, put them up anyway... maybe I could do some of it...)
Quote:I took the Wii home over the weekend and was able to put quite a bit of time into Zelda. There was what I would describe as a “bru ha ha” over at Joystiq when one of their bloggers claimed the game was a flop. He cited its terrible graphics as reason enough to dismiss it entirely. The response in the thread afterwards was heated with lots of people claiming that the graphics weren’t as bad as he claimed and that the game actually looked really good. Having played it all weekend I’m here to tell you that’s not the correct response.
See the problem is that he’s partially right. The game doesn't look very good. I don’t just mean it doesn’t look like Gears of War either, I mean it doesn’t even look good for a GC game and let’s be honest here that’s what we’re talking about. I’ve seen beautiful games on the Cube. Crystal Chronicles, Wind Waker and Resident Evil 4 were all incredible looking games. Twilight Princess can’t really compare to any of them. So he’s right about that, what he’s wrong about is everything else.
Even though the game doesn’t look all that great, it’s still Zelda and it’s fucking awesome. Our crew plays Gears of War every night and I had a hard time putting down my remote and nun chuck to join them. 1up has a minute by minute write up of the first ten hours of the game which seems ridiculous to me. I don’t know why you’d want to ruin such a great experience and it’s really not necessary. Maybe that’s that new games journalism I’ve heard so much about. Here’s everything you need to know about Twilight Princess:
-Playing Zelda with the Wii controller is super fun. -The game play is a blast. -The story is great. -You’ll never even think about the graphics while you’re playing it.
I recommend avoiding any of the extensive write ups about the game. I’m serious, Twilight Princess is too good to ruin it that way. Just wait a few more days and experience it for yourself.

The question I have to ask is, what game videos was I watching before? Did they have to remove all the good looks because there wasn't enough room on the disk? All the videos I've seen up until now look AMAZING graphically. I mean, amazing even compaired to current gen games. All I've seen made me think "best looking game on the Cube".
So what are they talking about? What was I seeing? Did something change, or is there a major difference seeing it full sized?
