You can always hope right? Personally I'm just happy that they included multiplayer though I hope its not really easy with the lock on. but i dont see and way around the lock on because if they use normal FPS controls then it would be very difficult to change weapons.

Oh and speaking of weapons I hope there are some brand new beams in this game.

Some guys over at IGN have new pics of Prime 2. It is shaping up to look pretty tight. I can't wait for PGC's high quality pics to show up though, instead of mag grabs.

It shows off that enemy again *two at a time even*, a new beam, and some other nifty stuff. I like it. I like it a lot.

Do you have a link because I can't find what your talking about.

MattVDB · « **Reply #303 on:** April 22, 2004, 01:23:52 PM »

Their scans from NP that some guys posted in the forum. It's not an official news article.

Am I allowed to say how to get there without being banned? If not, I can edit some stuff.

Rich · « **Reply #304 on:** April 22, 2004, 06:35:50 PM »

no I found them and i think they look awesome, this game is gonna blow us away at E3

Those scans were very nice. I'd greatly appreciate some high-quality footage in the form of a demo disc or DVD... THEN I'D CAPTURE/RIP THEM AND SHARE THEM WITH THE REST OF THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY MOTORISTS.

If you havent seen the Prime 2 page on nintendo.com I suggest you head over there. They have dropped the first hints of the story and the the title. Seems its going to be Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, or something to that effect. There is also a new race of people called the Ing. Head on over, its only a short paragraph, but its nice to see some new info. There are also a few pics I havent seen on IGN or anywhere else.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #307 on:** April 23, 2004, 05:33:00 PM »

Now that's better.

I believe Samus was trying to say... " I HAVE THE POWERRRRRRR!"

nolimit19 · « **Reply #308 on:** April 23, 2004, 05:50:35 PM »

i must be totally of it because this is the first time i heard anything about metroid prime 2. does nintendo have a date in which they plan to release mp2?

Krazie26 · « **Reply #309 on:** April 23, 2004, 06:10:44 PM »

Anyone wanna speculate on what Echoes means? I'm guessing since the game is split into a light world - dark world situation...maybe Samus is hearing the echoes of the each side while she is in the other. Echoes of a distant world you know.

Hehehe.

Pale · « **Reply #310 on:** April 23, 2004, 07:13:59 PM »

Haven't read the whole thread so pardon me if some of my speculation has already been speculated.

Wouldn't it be sweet if not only were they two worlds, but two parallel universes? There would be both a good samus and an 'evil' samus.... When the good samus was reaking havoc in evil land, the bad samus would be reaking havoc in good land. Therefore, one would have to speculate what damage their actions would cause in the other world... Then on top of that, you could play as good or bad samus...

Yeah, that won't happen, but it'd be cool.

Rich · « **Reply #311 on:** April 23, 2004, 07:53:02 PM »

You thing that this Ing race that they talk about is the thing we saw in the first trailer, cause that one seemed to be able to change its density level it was wierd. Either way this game will be awesome.

Oldskool · « **Reply #312 on:** April 23, 2004, 11:35:20 PM »

...Or maybe the subtitle has something to do with the Pink Floyd song...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #313 on:** April 23, 2004, 11:54:14 PM »

Or is it ECHOES... from the past....?

Like..... LINK.... to the past.....?

reviewgamer · « **Reply #314 on:** April 24, 2004, 12:02:46 AM »

Personally, i think that Metroid Prime 2 will blow us away, and all the people spouting negative comments on the multiplayer aspect will eat their words. OH HOW I DO HOPE!!!!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #315 on:** April 24, 2004, 12:09:50 AM »

There's an order to these things...
1) Single-must blow us away first.
2) Multiplayer shall receive no consideration from me until Condition #1 is met.
3) After Condition #1 is met, find multiplaying buddies. If buddies do not exist, multiplayer cannot be multiplayed, therefore must fall back to replaying the previously-established-to-be-reliable single-player.

Krazie26 · « **Reply #316 on:** April 24, 2004, 05:07:28 AM »

I too think Multiplayer would be beyond awesome to play. Imagine walking through a dark hallway...when all of a sudden a ball comes flying out of a hole zooming by...You carefully pull out your ice beam...take aim! Bam! Frozen! You know this did not kill it, so you charge a super missle just as its coming unfrozen...*BOOM*, miss and it escaped back into the hole again.

But yeah, if it were online it'd be better. I don't have anyone to play with

BTW, the guy in the grey suit in one of the screenies, I believe I know who he is.
Super Metroid Comic
Don't know how many of you have actually read this, but he's in there..watch carefully.

Syl · « **Reply #318 on:** April 24, 2004, 12:20:33 PM »

hes in there where? O_o, i don't see anything that looks like the grey suit in that comic, likewise, that comic isn't metroid Canon...Though i was partially expecting them to bring houtson into the prime 2 as an excuse for co-op.

The japanese e-manga, is metroid canon, but i don't really see that would relate to prime 2 at all.

No. Just no. Houston is the absolute worst character ever, and I seriously doubt they will actually use him in any game. Besides his suit is blue not grey.

Well, if I remember correctly Houston isn't in the e-manga, so no worries there.

Krazie26 · « **Reply #320 on:** April 24, 2004, 12:35:38 PM »

He's in chapter 1 all the way through the rest of them.
I was talking of Houston.

Syl · « **Reply #321 on:** April 24, 2004, 02:38:19 PM »

houstons suit is BLUE, and has the huge ugly shoulder pads like samus's, he looks nothing similar to the grey guy in the MP2 shots.

Houston's suit was the federations attempt to copy the chozo suit, at least thats my understanding...

however, after reading the super metroid comic, im surprised how much of samus' backstory they kept the same when they made the e-manga. Though the e-manga explains it in far more detail.

note:
translated e-manga can be found at www.newtourian.com (can't direct link to it, annoyingly)

Having flashbacks to Starfox 64's multiplayer...

I am very very excited about this. I have always been a huge metroid freak and I am really enjoying the chance to run around the world we have all played through in 2d, in gorgeous 3d. Graphics aren't everything, but seeing the world this way is a huge pull. The mood is just so increadible, I hope it is communicated well in this next installment. Not that I am worrying about that. I would like some more ball parts. MP had quite a few, but they were all exactly the same. I would love to see some different uses.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #323 on:** April 27, 2004, 11:05:18 PM »

I've just noticed something in that 4-player screenshot.

One of the Samuses has a Chozo Rune over her head.

That means there's probably a Capture the Rune multiplayer mode.

MagicToenail · « **Reply #324 on:** April 28, 2004, 02:13:19 PM »

In that preview of Prime 2 by Nintendo it says that Samus will be "Hunted by a mysterious entity." If that's true then "Houston" is probabaly not trying to HELP Samus. But that's just what I think. Did anyone see the "sonar" visor? In the picture where Samus is fighting that creature there is a green visor, it is a dot with two dash marks on each side of it. Wouldnt that make sense with the title being Echoes?

EDIT: The dot with two dash marks on each side is commonly used as a symbol for sound. Sorry if somebody already posted this.
