...I dont get it...

Retro did the Metroid series justice in 3d. I would like to see how far they could push the Metroid dynasty forward.

PIAC · « **Reply #128 on:** October 31, 2003, 06:25:47 AM »

oh yeah i agree, Metroid Prime is stunning, the transition from 2d to 3d is as high of a calibre as Super Mario Bros -> Mario 64 or Link to the Past -> Ocarina of Time, they couldn't have done it any better, i just love 2d though

Odin · « **Reply #129 on:** October 31, 2003, 06:34:30 AM »

Oh absolutely! I know what you mean. I haven't gotten Metroid Fusion yet, I did love Super Metroid though! One of the greatest games ever.

I would like to see more cutscenes. That was my only complaint with Metroid Prime. The Map was excellent! The musical score.... outstanding! The gameplay... wonderful! I just wish they would've done a little more.... It was an excellent transition, I agree with you PIAC. Not bad for an American, Texas based developer, huh?

Plugabugz · « **Reply #130 on:** November 01, 2003, 12:47:27 AM »

I agree, the cutscenes: more. The technique used for the camera system on it is the best I've ever seen. They were a joy to watch.

You should be

if we were to have morphball racing, what would be a good track to race on?

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #134 on:** November 01, 2003, 12:37:43 PM »

That would sort of depend on the setting of the game.

Swordsplay · « **Reply #135 on:** November 01, 2003, 12:55:50 PM »

yeah thats true, but ill be happy, if therell be a lot of half pipes involved.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #136 on:** November 01, 2003, 01:15:18 PM »

Yeah, half-pipes were a pretty good idea, though they were hard to get the hang of. . . fun, though.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #137 on:** November 01, 2003, 01:59:34 PM »

Race to Finish kind of stuff would be nice as well...Sorta like the VS. in Sonic 2 & 3...

I also want to see more morphball puzzles like the one you have to maneuver through before you get the Plasma cannon...

Swordsplay · « **Reply #138 on:** November 03, 2003, 04:19:06 AM »

God, that was annoying and lengthy! But, boy was it fun! That was the coolest puzzle in the game i think!

Swordsplay · « **Reply #139 on:** November 03, 2003, 07:57:49 PM »

I heard they are making the second metroid prime more 3rd person. Thats a bad idea, its cooler, and more fun in 1st person, unless your morph balling and using cutscenes.

PIAC · « **Reply #140 on:** November 03, 2003, 08:27:53 PM »

3rd person side scroller :happyfacegoeshere

Gibdo Master · « **Reply #141 on:** November 03, 2003, 08:55:48 PM »

They meant that there would be more of the third person morph ball mazes.

Swordsplay · « **Reply #142 on:** November 04, 2003, 04:30:49 AM »

oh good, cuz i wouldve been pissed. The morph ball mazes and puzzles are fun!

StRaNgE · « **Reply #143 on:** November 04, 2003, 06:12:00 AM »

to be able to toggle back and forth between 1st and 3rd person at all times would be great.
a huge benefit.

i personally remember when i 1st got prime i would sitthere and morph ball again and again just to see the 3rd person view for a minute or so. lol

And it's also impossible to do...Playing in 3rd person would make the game an absolute pain...

Gibdo Master · « **Reply #145 on:** November 04, 2003, 09:25:42 AM »

Yes, the whole reason they went with first person is to avoid the camera problems of third person. Considering that Metroid games have a ton of tight passage ways the camera problems that third person games have normally would have been doubled.

I want more morph ball action. More mazes, more action ball sequences resembling Sonic stages in blinding speed with ramps, boosts, and multiple paths.

I want controller configuration options. I value this above any option to tweak sound or screen size. I want to be able to togle through my weapons using the dpad for both guns and visions. I want to be able to asign the triggers for shooting and jumping so that my thumbs can concentrate on using the c stick for forward, backward, and straffing movement freeing up my control stick for camera assignments. At least include two defaults or more for those of us who don't ride on the short bus and can control two joysticks at once. I'd like the setup to be more user friendly, simpler. I don't like having to stop to look to target to straff only to target the turet that is already dead 6 times while two other turrets and a pirate blast away at me. The gameplay is vertical and horizontal. Targeting works best in horizontal situations like in Zelda. I don't like double functioning buttons that are used to target and switch the joystick to straffing in circles. I want freedom to move and look any way I want as fast as I can.

Most of all I want varying levels of AI. I want the pirates to have some smarts to them. I don't want to make the game Halo but I want the enemies to be more like thinking animals than machines.

Plugabugz · « **Reply #147 on:** November 05, 2003, 02:42:49 AM »

That said, while the PAL Metroid Prime has improved AI over the USA version (I've played both), I would like to see the Space Pirates more specifically use varying degrees of intelligence. The Chozo Ghosts had what I wanted to see., in my opinion.

Swordsplay · « **Reply #148 on:** November 06, 2003, 04:36:14 AM »

The space pirates have all this technology and not enough brains to do it, they only care about two things. Power and complete domination over every other species no matter what the cost. That's all their brains have to offer, they are supposed to be somewhat stupid.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #149 on:** November 06, 2003, 06:01:14 AM »

I want to see some funny scripted scenes, just like when the Metroids were released on the Space Pirates...Let's see more of those
