MP 1 gave me some very bad motion sickness, as did MP 2. Other games to do it were Duke Nukem, Half Life 2, Timesplitters 2, and certain stages in Monkey ball 2. Quake and Doom never did it to me, Geist didn't either.I think much of it has to do with a very fast framerate and the way the viewpoint moves ("viewbob", if you know what I mean) when walking around.

I turned off the visor lag and found I didn't have that problem anymore.

Prime 2 gave me motion sickness but it eased further into the game. It got progressively worse with Geist (meaning i could play for 20 mins at a time) until i refused to play. Hopefully MP3 won't do that.

You pansies. I'm IMMUNE to motion sickness.

Motion sickness huh?...

I feel bad for people that can't help but get motion sickness. I've never had such a thing. Never from videogames or boats or planes or cars or whatever...

Never in my life.

Geist gave me the worst motion sickness. I think it was all the floating. I couldn't even play long enough to really get in to the game. It was as though the motion sickness. It also hindered my progress in MP:2; although, MP:1 didn't give me that much of a problem.

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that getting glasses is what started the motion sickness. . .

So. I was kind of 'meh' on this game before....the demo level shown at e3 was neat but uninspired, I thought. But oh man, new media and my interest has shot way up. The new screens look beautiful in a surreal, creepy kind of way. And the new footage is giving off a very Halo vibe, and I mean that in a good way.

A halo bibe can NEVER mean anything in a good way ... T_T

But the game looks so awesome, I can't wait for it. What I don't like though is the thing with a "boss" or superior of any kind saying to Samus where to go, its like fusion where adam basically leads you all the way and thats very un-metroidish... but theres very little we know about the game so I remain optimistic.

Well...like it or not, you're on a space station, which aliens are starting to overrun, as you watch something large exploding out of a large window, as you interact with a human military fleet.

See if Master Chief can be rolled up into a ball without getting killed.

wandering · « **Reply #238 on:** September 14, 2006, 08:54:29 PM »

Yeah, well, see if Samus can use a rocket launcher.

Samus>>>>>>>>>>Master Chief

NOTHING LIKE HALO

NOTHING

(it does look awesome, but I still don't think I've seen enough)

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

By the by, I changed the 'footage' link above because gamevideos apparently doesn't let you link to individual movies. And, dang, the expert mode ign uses makes me nauseous.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #241 on:** September 14, 2006, 10:37:58 PM »

That Halo sucks and Metroid looks nothing like it, yes.

wandering · « **Reply #242 on:** September 14, 2006, 10:39:39 PM »

The fact that Halo sucks is irrelevant. There are certain elements from Halo that Retro studios seems to be borrowing.

King of Twitch · « **Reply #243 on:** September 14, 2006, 11:09:38 PM »

I also see this connection, starting with MP2. Just some small elements, that's all.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #244 on:** September 14, 2006, 11:10:32 PM »

Like a captain guy talking to Samus?
Because in all honesty, that's all I've seen in that footage.

what wandering said above "...space station, which aliens are starting to overrun, as you watch something large exploding out of a large window, as you interact with a human military fleet. " I only played a small bit of Halo 2 one player but that stuck out at me (not that any of this matters) but I may be wrong.

It totally has a Halo vibe, but to be honest I've always thought they had something in common. However this really made me think about it some more. Wasn't this how the first halo started or the 2nd i can't remember neither the 1st game or 2nd game's storyline because they both $ucked.

Actually i never beat Halo 2 because for some reason the sixth level always froze/lagged/crashed on me, 3 months later the xbox died on me.

How did Metroid Prime 1 have a Halo vibe? They were two different games, Halo was more shoot em up while Metroid was more adventure oriented. In fact I can't think of anything that is really similar except for the perspective (and even that is a bit different since you are seeing through Samus's visor).

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #248 on:** September 15, 2006, 09:59:10 AM »

How does Halo have any distinctive vibe to speak of?

You borrow style elements from 20yr old scifi flicks and 10 yr old PC scifi flight shooters, and you add bump mapping and TAKE AWAY character, and you got Halo.

IGN: How will social networking be handled? Will there be anonymous friend codes like on the DS network, or will users be able to choose recognisable IDs like on Xbox Live?

David Yarnton: More details on that will come out closer to launch. But you will be able to play online, so for example with Metroid you will be able to play against friends online… [editor's note: at this point the Nintendo PR rep steps in to assert that Metroid has not been confirmed for online play].

Has this been commented on yet?

So does that mean the delay is partially to bring Metroid online? That makes the delay more understandable, and worth the wait.
