What changes were you expecting? It's set in the same place, not long after the first game. It was unlikely to have been gentrified and filled with artisan coffee places in the interim.
Obviously there are going to be differences in what things/monsters/adventures you find in what place, probably few ne locations and some changes made to existing ones etc etc, but expecting an entirely new map is just strange.

Proving the point

...which point?

The fans will defend the series to the ends of the earth. Even if they changed the map, it still wouldn't be worth 10 dollars more. There's just no way they added enough changes to warrant the price hike.

Which....wasn't at all the point?
The dude complained, based on practically nothing, that the developers were being lazy in reusing the same map.

That was his first point if you actually cared to read the post before reacting to it, lmao.
MrTomDawson t1_jebbgut wrote
Maybe take your own advice? He repeatedly talks about the map, several times, before making an offhand side reference to the price.
Maybe you just honed in on your personal bugbear and ignored all the context, hm?

They could have given us a whole new map. They could have given us the entirety of the old one, and 50% more to explore.
There's a lot you can expect, when they expect us to be paying the same price for the sequel as we did for the original. Yet they feel they can put less work in.

Wouldn't make much sense in context, given that it's called Tears of the Kingdom, which is what the first map was.
>They could have given us the entirety of the old one, and 50% more to explore.
It looks like we have the original map plus a bunch of floating islands and such. So probably more to explore.
>There's a lot you can expect, when they expect us to be paying the same price for the sequel as we did for the original. Yet they feel they can put less work in.
Again, though, how do you actually know that if you've not played it? You don't know what's on the map, or above it, or under it. You don't know what has or hasn't changed.

if there was more to show, they'd have shown more than phasing through ceilings, and a single floating island.
Was BOTW your first zelda? There is so much more to hyrule than what we got. They could have given us a twilight realm version of the entire map.

Yes, because games that try to encourage exploration love to show you the entire map in the trailer.
>Was BOTW your first zelda?
Oh, my sweet summer child.
> There is so much more to hyrule than what we got.
How do you know? At various points this world floods, flies, falls apart etc etc so it's clearly subject to major changes. After a world-ending cataclysm we have no way of knowing what survived.
Kengfatv t1_jea00sp wrote
Games that try to encourage exploration normally show you that there's anything to explore.
MrTomDawson t1_jea08g4 wrote
Like floating landmasses newly arrived in the sky, for example?
Kengfatv t1_jea1tib wrote
Sure, if there's an entire hyrule sized area worth of them. but it looks like it's more like a skyloft sized area to explore. I'd pay 10$ for that as a DLC for BOTW.
MrTomDawson t1_jea2nri wrote
Alright. You seem pretty determined that you know the map will remain unchanged, so I'll stop trying to bring logic into this.
Siendra t1_jea6wqg wrote
The entire reveal cinematic and multiple shots in the trailers also take place below ground.
Fact is we don't know shit about the world just like we didn't know shit about anything off the Great Plateau before BotW released.
Siendra t1_jea6pnf wrote
They didn't show much of anything before BotW launched. Almost all of the gameplay footage was from the Great Plateau plus some establishing and action shots off of it.
