X-13 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Well... psuedo HD. I'm currently playing Skyward Sword, but it's looking a bit blurry. I considered splitting the SCART down to the component connection, but I've heard the Wii can do 480p if you have the HD cable. Can it actually do that? and if so, would I be better off getting the "official" cable [read : Overpriced] or a 3-rd party cable [read : Cheap]?
stevenlong1985 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 just run it via Component at 480p looks nicer, the signal is all digital that way. much more crisp image
achedgy Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I do love that game! Can't imagine their's much difference between a 3rd party component cable and a proper nintendo one, but i did buy the Nintendo one. I only plugged in the cable that came with it once when i first had the wii, it did make a difference going over to the component cable. You do have to change a setting if i remember (it was a long time ago) How far through are you?
X-13 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) just run it via Component at 480p looks nicer, the signal is all digital that way. much more crisp image Hmm... now, do I spend ~£17 on the "proper" one or ~£2.50 on 3rd party. How far through are you? Lanayru Mining Facility... Well, just outside. I've been spending a bit of time upgrading stuff. Also, there's a couple of blue feathers in out corridor here... I keep thinking "Oh, I need so me of those for upgrades..." Edited May 23, 2012 by X-13
stevenlong1985 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 the cheap one will do, I do like they fighting style its was so much fun. I didn't do much upgrading, i would say upgrade your bug net so you can catch more bird feathers and other stuff

I didn't do much upgrading, i would say upgrade your bug net so you can catch more bird feathers and other stuff You only need 5 blue feathers for all the upgrades. [if you make 1 of each... 1 bag/1 wooden shield/etc] I currently have ~40... I'm not even joking... They're supposed to be rare, but I KEEP FINDING THEM!!! also, "Wii-mote waggle" still works... and it's surprisingly deadly. Stagger something go crazy with the wii-mote ??? RUPEES! Le EDIT: Component isn't digital... from what I was reading HDMI is digital, Component is analog. Edited May 23, 2012 by X-13
sonofsanta Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) The component cable makes a hell of a difference. It's impossible to read the lyrics on Guitar Hero over SCART because they're so blurry, but component sorts that right out. Think my cable was just the GAME one, so if that works, anything should. A coathanger would probably do the job at that point. Just finished AssBro last night, reckon Skyward Sword might be next on my list... never waited this long to play a Zelda game since Ocarina. I turned down £400 for my new Wii on launch day from the bloke in the shop cos I wanted to go home and play Twilight Princess. Edited May 23, 2012 by sonofsanta

Be warned, in Skyward there's a house where, if you smash pots, you get fined by the owner. [Everyone else doesn't really care.] You also get told off for it in the kitchen. [and you get told off by the in-game-4th-wall-breaking text for opening other people's wardrobes.]

[Everyone else doesn't really care.] That happens in Wind Waker too, on Windfall Island in the auction room house! Personally I thought Skyward Sword looked bl00dy awful, even when compared to Twlight Princess and Wind Waker!
X-13 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 Personally I thought Skyward Sword looked bl00dy awful, even when compared to Twlight Princess and Wind Waker! Get out. I like Skyward. Perfect blend of WW's comic style and TP's gritty realism. Then again, I like OoT's graphics...

What madness is this?! They've completely undermined the story doing that. The story of brave Link, Hyrule's Gardener & Scrapman, cutting everyone's grass for rupees and helping them clear out their houses of old giant pots that are too heavy for the residents to move. This is worse than making him right handed.
stevenlong1985 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 And where do you work, again... lol my work stairwell is dull with cream walls. As its just me who works up here im decorating it with as much geek as possible. The master sword did take me a few good hours to make.

stevenlong1985 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I work in a primary school somewhere in Birmingham
X-13 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 I work in a primary school somewhere in Birmingham :spy: I'm in your school... stealin' your Master Sword.
X-13 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 I knew it! Here's hoping you won't shoot lightning at me if I ever have to return...
sonofsanta Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 THIS THREAD IS NOW ABOUT ZELDA! Sounds good to me. Your personal favourite? As far as I'm concerned the N64 titles are the best, Ocarina of Time is the quintessential Zelda to me but Majora's Mask is one of my most fondly remembered games. I can still remember the feeling of "wtf" when I finally went to the moon and found... well, I don't want to be accused of spoilers, but if you don't know how that sentence should end then you need to get on the Virtual Console when you get home and sort your life out. Wind Waker was ruined just because sailing everywhere was such a PITA. I'm fine with the graphics, but changing the field to an ocean was a bit dull, tbh.
stevenlong1985 Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I'll upload later the full scale master sword I also have actual an ocarina of time too
X-13 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) but if you don't know how that sentence should end then you need to get on the Virtual Console when you get home and sort your life out. ...Still haven't played it. Also, Link's Awakening is best Zelda. But Impa in Skyward is best Impa. [ATTACH=CONFIG]14049[/ATTACH] I also have actual an ocarina of time too No, you dont... At least, not any more.

sonofsanta Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 ...Still haven't played it. ...must... resist urge... neg rep... petty... Also, Link's Awakening is best Zelda. ...but then, I've never really played Link's Awakening, so it would be hypocritical. But I did find the Gameboy Color version lying around when unpacking my man cav at the weekend, so I might have to go back to taking a Gameboy round with me everywhere I go

From the sounds of it, it's going to be after the new Zelda.
sonofsanta Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I'm holding out on the 3ds remake. From the sounds of it, it's going to be after the new Zelda. Alas, I have no 3DS, at least not yet. But I kinda miss holding a proper Gameboy. I found my original Pokémon cartridges at the same time, the temptation there was curiously strong. You should play Majora's Mask though. It's completely insane and thoroughly haunting at the same time. And nothing else has ever quite matched the falling moon for sheer creepiness, especially the first time you get to Day 3 and see this filling the sky... http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs24/i/2008/028/e/b/Majora__s_Mask_Moon_by_mrespman.png
