Man it looks great, hopefully better then the new Zelda game....

rpglover · « **Reply #2 on:** May 13, 2003, 02:17:25 PM »

the game looks like it will kick some major ass
that enemy there looked really cool too
cant wait to see more of that game

Gibdo Master · « **Reply #3 on:** May 13, 2003, 03:15:36 PM »

Hmm, wonder if that enemy is Metroid Prime's new form. Well, its probably just a new space pirate. Interesting thought though. One thing that I read is that all footage shown for the game (supposedly there was more somewhere) was in the third person. Makes you wonder if this game will abandon the first person POV. Of course all the vids shown before Metroid Prime was released were in third person so I guess it doesn't mean anything. Watching that vid really makes me hope it is third person though.

15 seconds is all it took to drop my jaw and get me excited about this game!!! Prime was fantastic so i can only imagine what this will be like!!! I hope we get some more info soon!!!

Someone still had doubts that Retro could deliever on the goods. But then again some studios botch their sophmore efferts, but this is under Nintendo's supervision.

The monster is the hand from the end of Metroid Prime...

Wow, that looks awesome! Game of the show!

Gamefreak · « **Reply #8 on:** May 13, 2003, 11:05:44 PM »

Game of the Show? What about Half Life 2, Halo 2, World of Warcraft, etc.?

It's only 14 seconds...

On closer inspection, it appears that that thing is actually some sort of Space Pirate, not the hand from the end of Metroid Prime.

Game of the Show -- Urban Yeti 128.

My vote for Game of the Show goes to MGS3 so far.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #12 on:** May 14, 2003, 12:18:27 PM »

Metroid Prime 2 is oxymoronical. I can't see the footage, but I'll comment if it works later.

Actually, no videos seem to be working. Might anyone know what's wrong? It's only in internet explorer that they're not functioning.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2003, 12:25:55 PM »

problem = quick time sucks.

Right click and download it.

Dethroned Emperor · « **Reply #14 on:** May 14, 2003, 12:28:13 PM »

I'm having a similar problem as hostile creation. I was d/l some movies from ign, when all of a sudden an error message pops up and says something to the effect of "could not download the requested plug-in" I don't know if it's a problem with quicktime or maybe with the site, due to all the traffic. I was able to d/l fine this morning, but for the last few hours, no such luck. anyone else having this problem?

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #15 on:** May 14, 2003, 12:29:02 PM »

Well, that didn't work before, and when it did it took forever, but thanks. It's working now

"Metroid Prime 2 is oxymoronical."

Ha, you're right, I didn't think of that. But I'm hoping it isn't the final name anyway.

Gamefreak · « **Reply #18 on:** May 14, 2003, 11:18:03 PM »

Of course it's not.

ive heard impressions that the graphics seen were MP 1 style but these graphics are quite a bit better, and thats just the beggining
ill hope well see a Halo 1 to 2 or RS2 to 3 step, but thats gonna be hard.

The link in the first message does not work. Any other links?

Metroid 2=Halo 2 Killer? Ya or Nay?

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #24 on:** May 15, 2003, 12:25:06 PM »

Nay, in the popularity sense, quite possibly Ya in the quality sense.

Berto2K · « **Reply #25 on:** May 15, 2003, 01:14:22 PM »

Sorry guys, I removed it to host some Geist footage but my post for that has seemed to dissapear. Anyways, the Metroid Prime 2 footage is back up.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #26 on:** May 15, 2003, 01:47:01 PM »

Well supposedly Retro will be adding multi...so maybe if they work on it enough

Kraven · « **Reply #27 on:** May 15, 2003, 04:39:18 PM »

Bill, where did you hear Retro was adding multiplayer? I hope they don't. How is that going to work? There is only Samus and no one else. Who would be in the multiplayer. Also if they use the aiming system from the original there is no way it could work it would be to easy.

StRaNgE · « **Reply #28 on:** May 15, 2003, 07:10:20 PM »

if that is the 1st footage and if they can make it look that crisp and clean and let you play 3rd person as well as 1st then that will be just amazing and on my must have list for sure.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #29 on:** May 16, 2003, 02:20:10 PM »

Alright, it's true. Go check out CVG's interview with Miyamoto to see that Retro will most likely add multiplayer into the mix.

PIAC · « **Reply #30 on:** May 16, 2003, 02:33:52 PM »

bah ill multi player them >=|

unless its some form of counter op, where mr/mrs second player takes controll of the natural and not so natural enemies and attacks samus, any form of death match.. well, samus better be the only human, thats all i can say

GoldShadow1 · « **Reply #31 on:** May 16, 2003, 02:37:12 PM »

Multiplayer? Eh... I suppose it COULD work, but it would be very hard to implement. A standard four-player deathmatch would be terrible with Metroid controls and weapons... maybe a two-player co-op mode in the main game, though.

And if the kind of third-person action evident from the trailer is available in this game, I will scream joy. However, I have a hunch that it's just a cut-scene... sigh. I wanna wall-jump!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #32 on:** May 16, 2003, 04:50:15 PM »

Hey, hey, hey. Having more than one Samus for multiplayer isn't THAT bad. They did it with Link and noone complained.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #33 on:** May 16, 2003, 09:45:27 PM »

Where does MP2 take place in the Metroid timeline? is it after Fusion? As Metroid:Zero mission seems to be a prequel to the original Metroid game.

Also where can I find any videos or screen shots of this game?

Wondersheep · « **Reply #34 on:** May 17, 2003, 12:28:43 AM »

It could be called Metroid Prime 2. Metroid Prime was the name of the breed of Metroid, there were a few metroid types in it. It was like the queen metroid. So if that one is killed and another takes its place. Then there is still only one Prime.

But thats just being pedantic.

oohhboy · « **Reply #35 on:** May 17, 2003, 06:23:13 AM »

IT would be stupid to have videos judged as Gmae of the Show. DOOM3 last year beening decleared as such was limitless in it's stupidity. I mean, the likely hood of it happening been pretty non-existant, but what happens it DOOM3 turned out to be turd? Judging games by video is insane. Reminds me of the PSX ads. All FMV, no gameplay. Grrrrrr.

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #36 on:** May 17, 2003, 09:04:43 AM »

That would be AWESOME, a type of Co-op kinda like Four swords.....Could you imagine four bounty hunters playing a massive level that tests the skills and thinking power of all of them? Then they face a huge final boss, and they have to work together to defeat it. Along the way they fight mini-bosses and decides who gets the power ups and what not.

Keepa · « **Reply #37 on:** May 17, 2003, 10:30:38 AM »

I bet we'll need our trusty GBA's for multiplayer. Awe, that'll be great.

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #38 on:** May 17, 2003, 01:41:34 PM »

That's not funny, but does prove a point.

Yeah, not funny at all. Boy, if they were to do that, I would absolutely scream bloody murder. Although, actually, it would suit me just fine because I just don't like the thought of multiplayer Metroid. What are they going to do? Pit you against multiple Samus'? Okay, lets be exactly like Halo. Metroid is perfect as it is. Prime is among, maybe even at the top of my favorite games list, all-time.

Syl · « **Reply #40 on:** May 17, 2003, 06:00:26 PM »

the footage looks great.
that Is *ONLY* some new form of space pirate, nothing more. Definately looks more robotic than most.

I'm under the impression that metroid prime 2, will *NOT* come out for gamecube. Considering how amazing the first prime was, I believe nintendo will ask Retro to make it a LAUNCH TITLE for the next system. Where even more amazing stuff can be pulled off.

Thats what nintendo SHOULD do.

regardless, it looks good, though watching samus get her ass beat by something is never good. If there's any sort of multiplayer, i bet its just 2 player co-op. Thats all that could work with the series. The second player could be guy with the BLUE chozo suit, that was mentioned in the Super Metroid comics (and was shown dead in metroid 3, before Kraid)

(Prime 2 could be after metroid 2, but before metroid 3... which could explain why he's dead in metroid 3)
wow.. thinking too far ahead there... ME WANT MP2!
