Topic: Metroid Other M

That one-eyed devil looks like it scored a direct hit, I bet that's how she loses her powerups.

BURN THE HERETIC!

not recognizing the classic Mother Brain fight in Super Metroid makes you lose important nerd points

You know, I think we have to start to accept the idea that this game seems to try to connect all metroids in one story so it's going to be pretty linear and nothing like the Metroid we love, but I will end up buying it as long as they fix the animations (the speed booster and Ridley looked god damn horrible) and tone down the color a little bit, Samus kicking omega metroids in the middle of a shiny happy forest looked so weird.

[Smoke39]

Somehow, even though I didn't like Hunters and was disappointed with the direction Corruption took, I feel like I won't be quite as upset if this turns out to be a linear action game.  I mean, in terms of straight action adaptations of Metroid, this looks to capture Samus' acrobatic agility waaay better than Hunters.  It just looks cool.

Just the same I still hope it has some good ol' platforming-exploration.  Stop being so pessimistic, it's bringin' me down! D:

Again, I teared up during this trailer.

My only worry is that Samus is going to end up in the next DoA game (kidding...or AM I?).

[Adrock]

I think we finally get to meet Adam Malkovich. Someone calls Samus "Lady" in the trailer. I'm sure someone's mentioned that already, but I nerded out when I heard that earlier. Fanboy points +1000000.

[Smoke39]

Not only does he call her Lady, but he asks "Any objections, Lady?" which iirc is the particular phrase Samus referred to in Fusion.

[Adrock]

Yeah, that's the jizz right thar.

The only Prime game I was nuts about was the first one. The other ones were okay. I like where this one is headed. And Team Ninja fixed ZSS's helmet hair. Team Ninja is awarded 10 awesome points. They were only awarded 10 for ignoring Hunters Samus' hair style.

That was okay until they practically started making out at the end. Lowest common denominator..... And the irony of watching poser chicks kiss on the same internet which is filled with videos of real girls kissing is astounding. If you're into that kind of thing, at least... nevermind.

Aw, I forgot about the making out and such at the end. Doesn't it do like a "sexy" montage at the end or something? On a boat?

[BeautifulShy]

That was the best trailer I've ever seen.

Anyone have a link to a high quality trailer?

it looks like a beat em up that has some fighting game mechanics like those found in naruto games

Huh? Please explain yourself.

[Dasmos]

Don't worry Maxi, it looks nothing like that.

[BeautifulShy]

I know. I was wondering how Perm got that out of the trailer.

[ThePerm]

well when your watching the trailer you see a fight with

up intil 2:08 nothing but cut scenes
fight  in dark room with flying creatures: side view
in forest fighting something 2.5 d view
fighting blob boss 2d view
Special move activated samus visor shoot and freeze
Fighting monsters
running
fighting monsters punchout esque fight, dodge and shoot
running
cut scene
fighting monsters
cutscene

from what i can tell you run around the levels constantly in fights with monsters, occasionally you'll activate a special move and it will do some cool maneuver in a 3d perspective, these are all context sensitive. Every once in a while you'll run around a treadmill level dodging stuff too. It looks like a game thats based around some enormous on rails QTE. Its hard to say thats what itll be though, it is a trailer.

[BeautifulShy]

I see.Thanks for the explanation.

[Flames_of_chaos]

With or without Itagaki, Team Ninja is still the best Tecmo team when it comes to pushing hardware. The possible heavy story line can be a interesting thing considering that the Metroid series does have a interesting background. Anyways I think this looks awesome and notice the chameleon enemy:

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Not once did I see a Morph Ball, so that already spells doom for this project.

I still say the action is better suited to a fast-running, high-jumping, Bounty Hunting Captain Falcon.  After a bunch of 2D games, 3 Prime games, and 3 Smash Bros. games, we all know Samus moves as well as King Hippo at best.

We both identified a bunch of flashy, canned animations.  This developer excels at producing animations that pretend to be gameplay merit.

[Caterkiller]

I think the flashy animations and acrobatics are fantastic. It's almost like watching her do her smash bros attacks. And if you play the guys I play, you know Samus can be an acrobatic speed demon.

I am perfectly happy with this new direction. And since it appears to show allot about samus' past I really hope we get to see a walking talking Chazo. I loved in Zero mission how one was actually shown when Samus was a child. But more importantly I hope they dive into what happened to the Chazo and where they are.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

You know that grilled KFC promo that occurred a short time ago?

...

[BranDonk Kong]

The game looks fucking awesome, period. Some people are calling it Ninja Gaiden with Samus. Is that a bad thing? Ninja Gaiden is an absolute kick-ass game, and always has been ever since it was in the arcades. It started as a...wait for it...2D side-scroller, and actually is very similar to the original Metroid in some ways. I like how they change the intro from Team Ninja + Nintendo to Team Ninja x Nintendo.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Metroid Gaiden is what it is referred to as.

[ThePerm]

i wouldn't call it Ninja Gaiden with Samas, but it does remind me of RE: Gun Survivor.....not in gameplay at all, but it seems like it will go over all the Metroid games and develop a storyline.

You know if Metroid Prime had some FMVs like this game it probably would have been more popular. The real game had some great graphics, but adding a couple of those would have taken it over the top. I liked the Metroid Prime games but the story was minimalistic, which makes the desire to get further in the game less. I beat Prime, got halfway through Echoes, but haven't quite played much of 3(which arguably has the most plotline out of all of them...i want to beat echoes first though)
