okay i admit i was wrong... however accusing me of the same thing about a
game that is 5 years and 7 months old is just plain stupid and antagonistic (ff7 released sept '97)

as far as having multiplayer in metroid, i think that would be kickarse
and my entry into the metroid series was super metroid not metroid prime...

imagine areas where you have to grapple away from your friends blasting at you,
trying to freeze you with the ice beam
double jumping and landing with a charge blast right in their face

any game can be made to be a killer multiplayer ap
starfox didnt have multiplayer and then starfox 64 multiplayer ruled
i think the same evolution can be made with metroid
.

Despite what the hardcore fans of Metroid might think, the gaming industry no longer runs to suit your desires. It makes perfect sense for Metroid Prime 2 to come out end of this year/start of 2004 with major graphical and gameplay upgrades, and then have a new metroid prime game ready for a few months after launch of the next console in 2005.


Perhaps have Retro make another game along a different vein after MP2, just so they dont get too single minded and to keep the dev team fresh.

The multiplayer doesn't need to have anything to do with the actual game.  It'd be awesome to play, but it wouldn't have to interrupt the feeling of the main game.  It'd just be an escape.

Yeah, who knows.  Maybe you're each a metroid of different colors and you are unleashed on a planet, and you have to compete to evolve the fastest, or see how many kills you get before you get blasted.  Since you evolve based on how much energy you absorb, it could be fun

Or perhaps they could do something like the Pac Man game, where one person is Samus and the other 3 are Metroids wreaking havoc on a space station.

You could also all be space pirates, perhaps rogue pirates that are fighting against the main space pirate bunch for some reason.  They've been marked for death and have to fight their way out.  You could do some co-op stuff that way, too.

I like what Nintendo did with the Pac Man game, and I hope I see more multiplayer games, online and offline, that do similar things.  There are already "king of the hill" gametypes, but it's just not the same when anyone can be the king.

edited to add:  Didn't Metroid 4 end with the realization that there were a dozen or more SA-X clones?  Given the inclusion of the Fusion suit in Metroid Prime, it wouldn't surprise me if they included SA-X clones in Prime 2's multiplayer.

Those are some cool ideas.  Yeah, I think it'll be space pirates, but who knows, could be anything.

hmmm...not bad, but Samus is a loner. How would they implement co-op in the story. SA-X lives again, becomes good and is fighting by your side? that sounds kind of lame. But if the gameplay experience is good...

Actually, if you get 100% in Metroid Prime there's something that happens.  I'll tell you what I heard, if'n you want.  I imagine it's pirates or something like that, though.

I think there should be a Four Swords type of deal or actually like a FF: CC, where you and your friends each have to work together towards a common goal.....you can compete for upgrades or you can split them up so you team becomes like a platoon. Where some one may be the power (with all the different weapon modes or at least the more powerful ones), some one may be the scout (with the visions), some one may be the infiltration (morph ball and all that), and some one will be the wings (double boost and other upgrades). I don't know, the only way that would work, if they made so many more upgrades. Also you should be able to swap the ablities at all times if you would like. For example if there is a really huge hard boss, instead of having four separate skilled people, make one combined upgraded samus.

All the different bouty hunters will come standard with the power beam and scan just like in prime.

As for upgrades, I would be happy if they included a sniping mode for a gun (like a rail gun).

I reckon a big boss in MP2 should be Kraid instead of Meta Ridley

Hopefully Metroid 2's multiplayer (if it's even included) will be equivalent to the X-Box's Halo, maybe this would draw more people over to the Gamecube.  Here's hoping for Online play, or at least LAN play.

Cool, but in your dreams. Metroid Prime 2 will never be the Halo Killer.

Damn this computer.

Oh well.  Anyway, I was saying that Star Fox 2 looks very promising for a good multiplayer.  It may not be better than Halo, for most people, but I have a wierd sense of having fun, and I think Star Fox may be ten times better, easily (especially with my friends, who also have that wierd sense of having fun).  As for Metroid having a good multiplayer, I have no idea.  We'll just have to wait and see.

Sense of fun?  My friends and I still make "monkey" jokes when we play Super Monkey Ball.  We're all 22 and over too, and couple of us married.  Such "mature content" in a children's title!

i think multiplayer in metroid might stand a chance. i am a purist about metroid, but in this day and age, anything goes.

Great.  Let's hope for "Super Samus Ball"
or
"Super Morph Ball"
or
"Super Metroid Ball"

with the complementary "Super Metroid Ball Jr." on Game Boy Advance.

"almost as bad as hearing aeris dies in ff7 before i played it"

Thanks- I just bought FF7 and haven't played it yet. I was just reading through everyone's ideas for MP2 and suddenly you drop that, in the same post as when you were railing on someone else for slipping a spoiler. Just because FF7 is 5 years old doesn't mean anything- it's a very story intensive game, so don't even try to defend yourself on that one. You should've known who the final boss was in Metroid Prime seeing as it's in the friggin' title- even I guess that before playing the game.
