The first paragraph alone gives you an idea of just how great the game will be from a visual stand point and then it goes on to say how amazing the controls are.

Good read.

I be cautious about that one too. Its jumping to the other extreme. Everyone nows Matt is a Metriod Zealot. I'm sure if his wife let him his daughter be either Samus or Aran. If they made a toaster that charred Samus's likeness on toast he probably buy it.

I agree especially since Cassamassina didn't even discuss the structure of the game, but Jeremy Parish, the guy who wrote 1Up's preview, said on a Retronauts episode that Metroid was at one time his favorite franchise as well. I think it's safe to say he too is a fan. I dunno. I hope and pray he's wrong or hasn't seen enough.

Again, think about it...It's a DEMO...The point of it is not to show off the level design, but to show off the game mechanics...If you were to give impressions of the first half hour of Prime, you'd probably think it was linear, too...

Yes. Of course it is. Rationality says the content that preview is based on is a very small slice of what will hopefully be an epic game. Parish, in truth, doesn't really know what he's talking about.

However, when it comes to me and Metroid, rationality rarely enters into the equation. I unfairly expect perfection from this franchise at all times because most Metroid games are in fact perfect. I want more of that. Anyone comparing any part of a Metroid game with Halo does not sit well with me at all. It may be needless worrying, and I hope it is, but I only do it out of love.

Fair enough, but don't let it corrupt your love so much that you dampen your enjoyment of the game when you actually play it! =)

Theres is something I haven't thought about and watching gameplay videos made me notice, is the widescreen. Every single game is always presented in widescreen, which is pretty retarded giving their stance on HD, who gets a widescreen TV with no HD? seriously? do they even exist? but thats not my main concern, is that I have never seen this game in a normal TV, actually I haven't seen a single wii game in a normal TV, I wonder if it affects the experience, and the development, that extra space can be used by the developer for something forgetting some of us will not play it on widescreen, little details that might go overlooked, specially for a game like metroid wich is crafted with such meticulous detail.

For instance, pretend you just got out of a tight corridor and there are three turrents, what if they put the two on the sides precisely in the extra area? players in widescreen will see them and be able to shot them while players in normal SDTV will feel being attacked from nowhere. Its something that won't break the game of course, but it does alter the gameplay experience.

Also, I'm afraid Samus model without the suit is going to be even more cartoonish and ridicule than the one in echoes

why did Nintendo had to ruin her so horribly? specially after retro got it perfectly in prime 1.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #632 on:** July 13, 2007, 05:25:55 PM »

More like yuck in Prime 1...You know how much Zero Suit Samus would suck in Brawl if she were more realistic? (Yes, even more than Snake sucks...Gonna shoot that jab out of the air before someone chunks it at me!)

mantidor · « **Reply #633 on:** July 13, 2007, 05:37:12 PM »

but this game isn't brawl

that opening video with samus on her ship is amazing but the little shots of her without the suit look incredibly out of place.

brawl with a supermetroid suitless samus, or even Fusion, or anything would be a hundred times better

Adrock · « **Reply #634 on:** July 13, 2007, 05:46:33 PM »

Samus looked so stupid in Echoes. I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo forced Retro to change it to Zero Mission's design and they retaliated by making her look like a Barbie doll reject.

I agree with Mantidor. Samus looked better without her suit in Metroid 3 and 4. I don't know why Intelligent Designs changed it. What's with the helmet hair.....

Mashiro · « **Reply #635 on:** July 13, 2007, 05:58:49 PM »

You know what I hate about Samus? Her sprite designs in Metroid Fusion and Zero. Shouda kept the Super Metroid sprites =P

Yeah, she looks completely out of place in the context of Prime's not-cartoony graphics.

As for your widescreen complaint, you are the biggest freaking worry wart I've ever known. "Wah! I have to turn ten degrees to see the enemy! Wah!" Sheesh, what a baby!

fusion sprites were bad, I don't know if this was because it was made for the GBA that didn't have backlighting so they could be a little less "stylish" so to speak, but Zero Mission sprites are absolutely perfect, you sir are wrong.

Also, its not like the new model for samus can´t be done right in a 3D non-animeish style, I thought hunters version was very good.

But, yeah corruption... is looking so awesome (I really needed to see better quality videos), as long as theres is as much variety as usual in metroid games this should be perfect.

As I said it won't break the game

but my example is something tiny, you really can't prove me wrong as I can't prove my point since there isn't even a single screenshot in normal resolution of the game, or any other game for that matter, in Nintendo's world apparently those TV don't exist, except when you are explaining why the console doesn't have HD.

Mashiro · « **Reply #639 on:** July 13, 2007, 06:29:30 PM »

Nah I don't like Zero Mission sprites as much as Super Mertroid. They aren't bad but I dunno I just don't like them as much as Super Metroid. She looks too....hunched over. Super Metroid were more perfect than Zero Mission IMHO.

Kairon · « **Reply #640 on:** July 14, 2007, 09:26:19 PM »

I've heard that Samus talks in the game, and I saw a video where you see her out of her suit. Her model is horrible, and she wears eye-shadow.

I HATE YOU NINTENDO.

There's a rumour that there's a section in the game where you'll actually be playing as Zero Suit Samus, too...Kairon owned so bad...

Yer, in third person, even, for no apparent reason.

I played as zeo suit Samus in third person in the original NES game. I typed in the name Justin Bailey.

CLEARLY THIS HAS NO PRECEDENT, RETRO!!

If that ever happens I think the reason would be very apparent...

Punk Samus with green hair and pink leotard (very 80s) is also better than Zero Suit, anything is better than Zero suit.
