Wind Waker fan render vs WiiU remake vs Dolphin [pix]

Here they are:

I find the render graphics interesting as it seems like a "realistic cartoon" but there may be those who prefer the original WW aesthetics. (i.e. non-transparent water, single-color textures, origami-style vegetation, ect.)

The WiiU remake seems to have more vibrant colors, sharper lighting and added bloom, which will appeal to some but not to others.

And the Dolphin version looks the sharpest and most "clear" but it's quite clear that the game was initially not intended to be run in such high resolutions.

So which looks the best?

edit: each version has two pics in order.

I like the top two the best.Blabadon

Look at the water!:o

The realistic and cell shaded looks are clashing in a really bad way in the fan renders. I prefer the Wii-U version because it is more pleasing, even if the graphics aren't as sharp.

It's nice that the Wii U remake has real time lighting and shadows, but the bloom is overdone. Hope they tone it down.

The first one definitely looks interesting with that realistic but cartoony style.

I like the first 2 images better, except for the grass on top of the hill. That looks bad.

But the Wii U remake seems to have a more charming art style.

Agreed. Who wants water when we can have blue stuff ?

The top two look incredible.

Definitely the Wii U. It looks gorgeous.

WiiU version is the best, just need to tone the bloom down a bit.bobbetybob

I really do like the 'claymation'-type look in the fan render. Would love to see a game in that style.

I like the original Gamecube render the best.

The new Wii U HD version looks dumb. The lighting is obnoxious and I hate the way the characters are rendered. It looks cheesy. It doesn't look like traditional cell-shading. It's more obvious that they're 3D.

Ugh that 'realistic' water doesn't suit the styIe at ALL.

First two are terrible. Look like cardboard cut outs. Wii U version holds true to the animation style.

The dolphin version looks the best to me. the other two versions lose the styIe that made the original so beautiful

I don't like the realistic water with the cell-shaded graphics in the fan one.

The Wii-U won looks really good in my opinion.

The dolphin WW looks the best.

Each one has something I don't like. So all are awful.

The Nintendo screenshots simply look better, even if they need to turn down the bloom a bit. The top two have water that looks like ordinary water, that's not the art style Nintendo chose for Wind Waker. It looks so out of place.

Oh I see, the Wii U is another remake console like the 3DS.MBirdy88

The top two look incredible.

Nor did it have a Devil May Cry when it also got the HD Collection of it's own.

with this and the next xenoblade. It really seems like WiiU is going for a core gamer focus with the WiiU, which I can really appreciate.

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]

[QUOTE="locopatho"] They have actual sequels released before the HD collections come out tho. Well, usually. Looking at you, Team Ico!locopatho

And the MGS one, did anyone ever mention that or know about it? Rising and Zeroes are getting hype cos they're new.

About MG: I don't understand the question.

I'm just very meh on the whole concept of remakes. They are nice in addition to sequels or new IPs but eh. I don't get too excited for them.

Agreed, but Gamepad support sells me on this one.

Shin Megami X Fire Emblem sounds f*cking stupid, I see no correlation.
