Is Myst But It Doesn't Suck a good game concept?

Endless Ocean has a very large and detailled world though of course a lot of it is repeated (most of the details are the animals and plants which obviously look the same when it's the same species). Remember detail costs money and you won't be able to get a huge world with lots of detail within a sane budget.

Even though Nintendo has done this already on the Wii with Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime 3.

But we should get back to talking about Metroid.

Is that really large enough for a game focussed on random exploration?

Not sure what else there is to say about Metroid but I don't expect any massive changes to the formula (at least nothing that amounts to Elebits 2) and I think it's pretty clear that Nintendo considers "bounty hunter" to mean "a hero, IN SPAAAACE!"

Bounty hunting means driving around really fast and carrying a gun for no reason because you can rely on the FALCON PUNCH.

What about Bobba Fett? Him and Samus need to team up on an adventure. The Star Wars crowd would eat that up for sure. Nintendo needs to team up with Lucas Arts and make it happen!

Anyway before this all goes off topic, There are many ways that the metroid series can continue. Yes bounty hunting is outlined by boba fett. But samus would destroy him before he could get his blaster raised.

Interesting. What if Samus at one point were to float around space hoping from asteroid to asteroid ala Galaxy?

Could be done but would it really make much sense? Metroid is about new skills and exploration, it'd be hard to apply skills while flinging yourself from object to object in space, at least in a way that's not forced and doesn't just use warp stars like Galaxy (the planet hopping was mostly just scene changes in Galaxy)

We will all be happy with a normal Metroid game anyway, they don't have to reinvent the wheel every time they release a new game.

Testing...testing... is this mic on? ...

*ahem*

Bring back Kraid.

That is all.

Stogi · « **Reply #87 on:** January 05, 2009, 05:16:12 AM »

Bring back a monster like Kraid is what I say. Leave him dead, but bring back monsters his size.

There's nothing better than taking down a monster a 100 times your size. Hell, it made Shadow of the Colossus one of the more exciting games I've played simply because of that fact.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #88 on:** January 05, 2009, 09:13:49 AM »

Didn't the Prime series already have bosses of that size? Of cours ethey don't appear all that large when you're a good distance away from them...

Yeah pretty much most of the bosses were huge until Prime 3 had you vs the other hunters. I think Echoes had some about your size but the first game had some big baddies and boy were they awesome. I really should go back and replay that game...

mantidor · « **Reply #90 on:** January 05, 2009, 11:57:34 AM »

what? Echoes has the biggest one which was quadraxis. I think metroid prime was bigger but the battle really didn't make that obvious, Quadraxis battle was just epic.

I'll be honest i don't remember who that is. I remember more from Prime 1 since i've played that twice, where as Echoes was played once and Corruption is still fresh in my memory.

There are only two bosses in Echoes that i remember:
1. That giant Bee thing that flew around that poisonous arena and shot smaller lil bee things at you (epic battle)
2. That annoying boss you fought in morph ball mode.

The second was obviously pretty small (so were the Ing in general) and the first, though big, was not as big as some of the memorable boss fights from Prime such as:

giant weed monster thing (no stogi, not that kind), or big rolling rock thing, etc etc

EDIT: You're right the battle against Quadraxis WAS epic. The second i saw this pic it all came rushing back to me. Wow.

Maybe some day I could be arsed to try another round against the boost guardian but the game didn't really connect with me.

EasyCure · « **Reply #93 on:** January 05, 2009, 02:07:44 PM »

I wanted to give up against that boost gaurdian but didnt. That game was too hardcore for its own good though, oh well.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #94 on:** January 05, 2009, 02:58:45 PM »

To beat the boost guardian stand on those pillars and shoot a him from there. It's apparently the easy "think out of the box" way to beat him. Naturally I found out about this well after I had gone through the hell of beating him the "normal way".

I never knew that, Ian. Typically I did it normal way, full fist drawn, kill before he kills me (it's hard to think out of the box when you play adventures in late-night, long-hour tiring sessions). Which made me froth for the rest of the game.
