Talk:Zelda Wii
From Zelda Wiki.org
Project Deluge
Alright, guys, I didn't think to jump on this before but I think that now might be a good time to do so, especially given that E3 is coming up pretty quickly here.
All information regarding Project Deluge needs to stay off of this page. Why? The interview could very well be fake - no one has confirmed or denied its legitimacy. Until such time that Nintendo says that it is real, do not add any Project Deluge content to this article. Zelda Wiki.org is not a place to store rumors.
If the interview is to be believed, then we will be seeing something at E3 next week. Therefore, if we don't see anything regarding this at E3, we can assume that it's a fabricated interview. --Ando (talk) 12:36, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Alright, nothing was shown at E3 outside of a vague "yeah, the Wii Zelda team and the DS Zelda team are working on stuff??" So no Project Deluge in this article. Although I am considering making a Project Deluge article just so that anyone who doesn't know what it is can search here and read that it is, in fact, a false game. —Ando (talk) 04:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't catch most of the E3. I saw some things. I did see that Nintendo is making an attachment for the Wii controls that makes them more sensitive to motion. That is the biggest piece of news I remember. I'm not sure if it was ever said, it was on the news bar at the bottom (Yeah! G4 TV!). I also heard the Nintendo is putting most of its focus on the DS rather than on the Wii. Can we hope to have another DS Zelda, but that is not a graphical clone of PH (like MM was of OoT)? I also heard, prior to the start of the E3, that Nintendo could be making an even small DS. Did this get announced?—Matt (T C F S) 04:39, July 22, 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, the Wii MotionPlus was pretty much the biggest announcement, although they did announce a new Wii Animal Crossing, so that's cool.
- As for a re-designed DS, well, nothing was said. At all, actually. Not even a hinting of it, so I'd say that it's either not happening or that they're waiting for the Tokyo Game Show.
- Regarding the focus of the DS, it's possible, but Miyamoto said that BOTH Zelda teams (Wii and DS) were working again. —Ando (talk) 12:43, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
It is always on G4 nowadays. But you may not get it. It was not in the standard package for our TV service.—Matt (T C F S) 13:34, July 22, 2008 (UTC)
For those of you that don't know, "Projected Deluge" is the alleged name of the next Zelda game given by this [nonexistent] interview. However appealing the interview may seem to some people, a close inspection and a slow read of the interview will reveal that it is flat-out bogus. I would normally point out every flaw in the interview that is contrary to what a game designer would actually do in the real world. But why bother? Countless other people have already done that for me. Just search for "Project Deluge" and read the forums that the search gives. You'll then be convinced of the ridiculousness the interview and then you'll realize, as I did, that it actually never occurred. A Zelda game will never have some insane little boy thinking that he is actually the legendary Link has the hero. Even though Tingle was pushing that boundary.—Matt (T C F S) 03:39, July 27, 2008 (UTC)
- A little harsh, Matt? If this were directed at anyone in particular, that would be worthy of at least a one-day block. :/ Yes, the interview was fake, but people who believe it don't have some insanely high level of "foolishness of believing that such a ridiculous interview actually ever occurred", it just means that they are misinformed and (in the case of some) probably want it to be real so badly that in their heads it is. So... please tone it down next time. Brutal honesty is one thing. An attack is something else entirely. —Ando (talk) 03:46, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
- No one person really. It here as more of preventative measure than anything else. It was really more directed at myself as I was inclined to believe it at first. So it was really a self-inflicted word-bash. I've believed more foolish things before. I'm never hesitant to be harsh to myself, since I know that I would not take anything I said to myself personally. Perhaps rewording parts? —Matt (T C F S) 04:08, July 27, 2008 (UTC)
I realize that it wasn't directed at anyone particularly, but nonetheless, thanks for re-wording it. I'm sure that someone would have gotten offended by it at some point. Just, uh, make sure it doesn't happen again, son.</authorityofthepolicevoice> —Ando (talk) 04:11, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, as you know, I don't lie to spare feelings, as that would ultimately hurt them more in the long run. So many people in our society fail to realize that. I will not make exceptions. If a statement that comes up is potentially offensive, but is true, then little can be done about it other than erasing the message. It is not possible to tell someone they are wrong without offending them. That is just a fact of life. You just have to remember that I have their best interests at heart. If you can come up with a way to tell people they are wrong without offending them, then you have just solved one of the world greatest mysteries and you'll go down in history as one of the greatest heroes of all time. ;) But until then, we must do the best with what we have.—Matt (T C F S) 04:22, July 27, 2008 (UTC)
- About making exceptions. It is because I cannot trust myself if I become selective about who I am truthful to and who I lie to. I cannot allow myself to lose my integrity that way. If I did that, I'd begin to lie even to myself and I would start to compromise my other morals. It takes discipline. It is not easy. But it is the right thing to do. And that is all that matters.—Matt (T C F S) 04:34, July 27, 2008 (UTC)
