Opinion thread

Why has no dev ever tried to recreate a game using the zelda format?
It is one of the, if not the most influential franchises in gaming yet to my knowledge the best any dev has done to copy it's formula is okami.

Why has no dev tried to recreate elder scrolls formula or new fallout either?

Because devs suck

there's tons of them, what are you talking about
just google "zelda clone" instead of making retarded threads like this

What is the Zelda format? Please explain it concretely so we're all on the same page.

Because it sucks and people only buy it for the name. Same with shit like Animal Crossing or Pokemon.

soul reaver, alundra, all the sega ones from the 16bit era (I think there's 12 of them or some shit), beyond good and evil, darksiders

just write search instead of being a corporate bitch boi

Darksiders, Oceanhorn, Alundra.....

could go on for weeks here.

Dude what? Have you only played 2 games in your life?

>Because it sucks and people only buy it for the name
sure thing faggot that's why OoT changed 3d games forever and even R* were inspired by BotW to imitate some of it's simple health/crafting mechanics.

Well the simple a new darkness has risen quest to save a damsel, humble beginnings where a hero is grown.
Adventure in a large world, talking to civillians, quests ect.
But the real formula I mean is dungeons and the need x to enter and complete a dungeon (not metroidvania of course) but I can get x until I get x and I can't do x until I do x
If you have ever played a zelda game you know that it is a unique genre onto it's own and no other game is like it. While it's official genre title is action adventure, it's far from the same game as batman arkham for eg.

hell technically nier automata is more inspired by zelda than anything else, taro said the structure is based on ocarina of time's

>nier automata
isn't that a hack and slash though?

Alundra
Okami
Minit
Shadow of the Colossus
Evoland
Anodyne
The Magic of Scheherazade
Marvelous: Mohitotsu no Takarajima
Soleil

Copying Zelda is basically first developer's try. They are thousand of clones.

>even R* were inspired by BotW to imitate some of it's simple health/crafting mechanics.
BotW didn't invent crafting. Play more games, delusional toddler.

Stop being a retard retard, play more video games brand faggot

Tell me how exactly BotW inspired RDR 2.

by using a simple multi product health system where cooking enhances the foods uses and adding food from cooking to "overclock" the meters.
It was clearly literally inspired by BotW
What system used BotW crafting system before that game?

Obviously I don't play every game but I have been playing them since 2nd generations and have never seen that crafting system before.

Cooking food wasn't invented by BotW, pretty much every fucking survival game does it. Play more games toddler.
>I have been playing them since 2nd generations
Probably only Nintendo games, no wonder you know absolutely nothing about gaming.

There are zelda clones.
Elderscrolls clones don't work because each elderscrolls is a bad xerox of the previous game, so they're effectively one step ahead on the downward slope of shitty plagiarism.

not really

>instantly screeches autistically at the mere mention of botw
when will we deal with the discord trannies question

>Make stupid claim
>Someone disagrees
>Start screeching like an autist

>no you

why are you such a retard?
Do you struggle with simple sentences?
I bet you struggle with simple tasks.

Yes.

>Get faced with arguments
>Resort to ad hominems
Just accept that your claim was stupid and wrong

it wasn't ad hominem, it was name calling
retard

First an ad hominem and now moving the goalpost, amazing.

nope, still name calling
nice buzzwords that you dont know how to use properly though, retard

Still waiting for that explanation how BotW inspired RDR 2

Any action/adventure or open world game copies from Zelda

Crystalis was an early Zelda clone and honestly I liked it a hell of a lot more than Zelda 1 and 2. Too bad SNK never followed up on the IP.

You fucking moron, the "argument" was in the OP you replied to but it went over your head because you are a retard who cannot understand simple sentences so what can I do but call you a retard.

>Still waiting for that explanation how BotW inspired RDR 2
retard

Not an argument
>Things that already existed before BotW

>Things that already existed before BotW
Explain a game that used this system before BotW and don't be all trying to reference some obscure indie japanese bs game only faggots or weebs play.

Pretty much all open world/suecival games such as TES and Minecraft have cooking. Play more games, toddler. BotW didn't invent cooking food items.
