TalkBack / Metroid Prime 2 Poll at Nintendo.com
« on: April 09, 2003, 03:57:32 PM »
Ever played Jet Force Gemini? That shooter had some control issues, but if there is one thing that game did right, it was the camera. It is entirely in third person, but there were two camera modes that you could switch between by pressing a button. One is the typical Zelda/Mario camera, while the other is a behind the back view that is exactly like a first person view except you can see your character, who is semi-transparent.
I played Jet Force Gemini long before I even knew what a Gamecube would be or what Metroid Prime would be like, but when playing that game, I said to myself and anyone who would listen, "This is what Metroid 64 should be like." I really said that, and I still think that. Sure, they could make the next game entirely in third or first person and make it good, but I think it could be better if they combine them.
As you can probably tell, I did not vote for Side Scroller. I wouldn't mind a sidescroller, but I would mind a JFG camera even less. I guess, though, that I am dreaming.
As for the GBA connection...Can someone explain to me why anyone would want that?
And for Multiplayer... I can see it working. I have had huge arguments about it on another board, and I heard passionate voices on both sides of the issue, so I guess it would be safer just to leave out Multiplayer for now. Of course, if Retro is confident that they can do it right (NO FRAGGING), then more power to them, but if not, then leave it alone.
And the longer single player mode... Absolutely! Of course, they should not focus only on making a long game. They should make other improvements as well.
