Metroid friends, we are officially back. Let's have a comfy thread about that.
>>
>>680748798
if it's not open world, if you can't pick up weapons off enemies, if there's no melee, then it's DOA. the genre has advanced a lot since early 2000's
>>
>>680749304
>the genre
Ok, but it's the same Samus. Samus does things how she does things.
>>
>>680750202
it's boring, I do not want to travel down a hallway to get a missile or morphball, then turn around and come back through the hallway anymore. I'm older, I know better.

Then leave.

Also to answer OP, I'm replaying Zero Mission now it's on Switch online. Fun as fuck still. Just got my suit back, kino moment.

prime has actual exploration and proper level design unlike the 2D games after super. super is godlike but the other 2D games suck dick in comparison.

I wish it still was based around pointer controls like Corruption, it was a lot of fun
>>
>>680750704
Hey retard, guess what? You already got your tight 2D platform shooter. It's called "Dread" and it's part of a different series than the Prime games. This is for people who enjoy a different approach to the Metroid formula, one that takes advantage of the 3D medium in a unique way that isn't just another garbage boomer shooter. It's idiots like you that are keeping franchises like Star Fox from succeeding, because any deviation from the formula of the very first game is seen as this horrible thing you have to endlessly bitch and moan about.

>>680749304
The genre? That’s not Metroid

Metroid has more in common with Breath of the Wild than Prime has in common with Metroid. All kinds of shortcuts, different routes through the game, finding weapons to switch out in the overworld. Playing the game faster to see Samus unclothe. Prime is a bad FPS.

Couldn't find it anywhere else, but when did they retcon that Samus lived in Zebes? The manga/Zero Mission ? And can anyone tell me why they changed the date of the creation of the Federation from 2000 to 2003?
Also does anyone here have any sites/programs you'd recommend for mapping, as in, to "draw" maps. Metroid 1 certainly needs it, even with the manual map. If not, I'll just use a pixelart site, or paint or whatever.

Prime 1 is the weakest of the trilogy and I say this without a hint of irony or baiting
people like it because of nostalgia, or atleast Im convinced that is the case. I played the trilogy all at once on the wii and prime 1 was the only one of the three I kept dropping and forcing myself through. 2 Does everything it does better with its only downside being the poor color pallete variation between areas
>>
>>680752413
the Metroid manga had that first, Zero Mission notably brings a fuckton of elements from the manga into the game proper. That's why there's a drawing of a kid and two birbs on the Legendary Power Suit's altar. Pretty sure the Jap release of Fusion had colored panels from the manga too for getting various times in Hard Mode.

Yes. An experience bounty hunter should have a variety of move sets and skills than point and shoot. And she has used melee attacks in other games both in gameplay and cutscenes.

I'd be fine with just a cannon butt to knock melee enemies away, there's no reason Samus wouldn't do something like that to begin with. Maybe include a power up that allows you to melee bash stronger enemies or to get through a shield/armor of some sort.

The first in-game implication that she was raised on Zebes was the endings added to the Japanese release of Metroid Fusion. Zero Mission later expanded on it, as did the manga created to promote it. Other M also dabbled a bit in it, specifically in the TV advertisements recounting Ridley's raid on her homeworld.
>>
>>680754945
Dread went all in by directly referencing the Bird Dads too
>>
Its time to admit Dread is the best traditional Metroid game. It has no flaws.
>>
>>680755052
the music sucks compared to other 2D titles, there's not a single memorable track that I can actively remember unlike Sector-01 from Fusion or most of the tracks from Super. Granted I haven't played Dread as much as those two.
>>
>>680755002
Referencing, but not outright showing. To this day Grey Voice has yet to actually appear in a Metroid game, while Old Bird has appeared in both Fusion and Zero Mission.
Which makes him ambiguously canon, because the manga itself cannot be fully canon due to contradictions with the games. Kinda sad, but that's how it is.
>>
>>680755264
I'm fine with it being a Gaiden where elements that contradict can be ignored and everything else is just headcanon until a game specifically shows it.
>>
>>680754931
That was the only good part of the trailer in my opinion
This is how it should have started

The reward system is kinda bad, but then again most Metroids fall into this. Seeing Samus in some skimpy outfit, and some concept art really aren't my cup of tea. More of them need to do what AM2R did and actually provide content for beating the game, like Difficulty modes, randomizers, Fusion mode, new game +, the works.

Imagine of beating Fusion unlocked new game +, where the entire story was completely skippable and you could sequence break the whole game, like a romhack that already exists on metroidconstruction. think of it, no more mandatory elevator monologues, no more adam locking you in a room to spew exposition. It would be very nice.
>>
>>680755762
I agree with this but you should also get samus in her underwear
>>
What is it about Metroid that filters retards? It seems like a series that requires at least an average IQ.

Yes. Just have Samus hit enemies with the arm cannon or kick them. Make it quick and snappy.

rip off Saint Row 4's speed power and have it based off your energy when shinesparking like in Super or do what they did with the screw attack in Prime 2 and make it so you can only really use it at predetermined points and maybe some sequence breaks, but this is Prime so good luck with that without them immediately fixing it.

It's not Metroid that's the issue, it's Metroid Prime. Metroid Prime is a boring slog with outdated design philosophies and a compromised/outdated control scheme. The trailer even looks muted and dull on its own. Making Prime 4 model so closely to the old Prime games is a mistake.
>>
>>680756072
in all seriousness
the only thing you're missing is environmental storytelling through the scan visor and even compared to things like Desu Ex, it's pretty simple. It's the appeal of Metroid going 3D for the first time, it just has the unfortunate side-effect of not coming out earlier and now it's copying other shit that already came out. Your argument is really regressive for discussion though, why should I play any video game since a previous one has already done it. Played one FPS, you played em all, why bother?

>>680756167
>guy who wants better rewards for beating the game is a snoy
>guy who wants less graphics and less excessive cutscenes is a snoy

I don't follow your logic.

>>680753781
Corruption is misguided but it inherits enough of Echoes' improvements that it's still better than Prime IMO
Corruption could've been the best game in the series if it cut out the wannabe Halo stuff and replaced Hypermode with Prime or Echoes' beam switching combat or literally anything else that's less braindead

correct, it's also incorrect to even call it an FPS. Nintendo and the devs consider it a First Person Adventure. You just happen to also shoot in it, but it wasn't the focus, it was the Metroid style exploration being translated to 3D.

And new game +, randomizers, and extra difficulty modes are things the AM2R devs threw in for fun. Why do you demonize them?

how hard would it be to just add a sprint? sprinting can be speedbooster, it's easy. automatically step up ledges when sprinting, if you're gonna backtrack in these games, get a sprint like that first thing.

Nintendo has modest expectations for Metroid games. Metroid's all-time top sellers are Metroid Dread at 3 Million and Metroid Prime at 2.85 million. That's the ceiling.
>>
>>680757867
I don't really demonize them, it's just weird to say that "the reward system is kinda bad". It doesn't need a reward system. Just talk about how new game+ or randomized mode or w/e shit your favorite mod does is fun instead of talking about feeling tingly at a new hit of gold stars after you beat a game.

If they do the Zelda "cross launch" thing with Metroid, that just means two separate instances where the game will underperform. All that'll do is prove to Nintendo that 3D Metroid isn't worth investing time and resources into anymore.
>>
>>680758270
How can we headcanon it though? Samus had a stroke and a brief case of amnesia, which is why she's so focused on the Baby and all the flashbacks and stuff? Samus was in love with Adam, and therefore that's why she followed his order? I don't even remember what else Other M messes up, not even counting Fusion stuff.
>>
>>680759541
They're not going to do that. Switch 1 games are just going to run on Switch 2 at higher res. It's going to be exceptionally easy for Nintendo. The SoC they ordered from Nvidia is a direct successor to the Tegra, it will run Switch software natively. Switch games are all based around multiple performance profiles already. Anything developed for Switch after the Switch 2 devkits shipped is going to have a Switch 2 mode.

Metroid Prime 4 on Switch seems to be 900p. I expect if you pop it into a Switch 2 it'll probably play at 1440p.

The trailer put me to fucking sleep. They didn't show anything new or innovative at all to show they weren't just sitting around for nearly ten years with their thumbs up their asses caving to every SweetBaby DEI demand on the books.

It's weird, because I couldn't get behind 2D Metroid when I was a kid but loved Corruption, but as an adult I loved Dread and was bored out of my mind with Prime Remastered.

Almost all of the modern Samus lore as you know it came from old Super Metroid Nintendo Power comic.

https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Metroid_(Nintendo_Power_comic)

Metroid Fusion was the first to adapt it on the Japanese side during her completion endings (which the english released missed out on I believe). Then Zero Mission + the Manga expanded on it even more and established it completely

to be fair the portion shown in the trailer is very likely the equivalent to the Frigate Orpheon section in MP1, where you're introduced to the very basics of playing as Samus without any frills or crazy powerups. Even the few powerups she has in the beginning, she'll probably lose from slipping on a banana peel or getting a rock thrown at her or something.

I'm just pointing out the facts. Come to think of it, alot of people outclass Samus simply because she's too weak emotionally.

No. Melee needs to stay far away from Metroid. The majority of Metroid's action being projectile based is one of it's most unique aspects and it's shameful how much they've been trying to throw in melee and counter bullshit in the 2D games. As disappointed as I am on how Prime 4 seems to be made very little improvements in regarding the core gameplay I am glad they stayed far away from the melee meme at the very least.

There are a lot of people that don't care for Fusion. Personally I don't think Fusion works without its story; it's such an integral part of the experience. You would have to completely redesign Fusion to make sequence breaks work. Fair enough to dislike Fusion, but the effort required to "fix" it would make it a completely different game.

I get what he's trying to say. Grey Voice's game appearances are way more a vague than Old Bird's. While Old Bird has a consistent design, every time "Grey Voice" has been shown the design has been more generic, calling into question whether that's really him. So the other Chozo being Grey Voice is more of an assumption made by fans.

I think it's him, I feel like if it wasn't Grey Voice they would just show Old Bird and never a second Chozo, but the fact they keep showing two chozos seems like a direct callback. But I can understand why people are not convinced Grey Voice has technically "appeared" in a Metroid game yet and his canon status is still dubious.

Did Metroid fans find this trailer hype, or was the hype mainly because they finally showed footage? I thought it was a little awkward, and they didn't really showcase anything new.

Huh. How so?

>>680789197
Seeker Missiles are a given, but in terms of things I'd want? ... I think the Nova Beam, oddly enough. The Annihilator Beam was cool, but it was kinda held back by having to fill the sound gimmick they wanted. Nova was clearly supposed to be the proper sound based weapon, and I'd like to see the concept fleshed out.

>falsifying evidence
So this means the fandom shows disgust at the idea of Zero Suit being posted, and they would agree that gameplay discussion should ALWAYS take precedence? do I have that right? After all, a falseflag implies that this is not the state of the fandom, but rather the work of an outsider.

If you agree that gameplay discussion will ALWAYS be more important than posting sexy waifu pics, then I will concede this point to you (no, they're not equal, gameplay discussion is ALWAYS more important). I will not agree with your falseflagging accusation, but I will give the metroid fandom the benefit of the doubt that maybe they do care about good games, and not just porn.

>>680786592
Eh I like it. It takes balls of steel to take the most beloved game on SNES after a literal 9 year gap between mainline games and intentionally twist what you loved about it into something intentionally contrasting. And I don't just mean being bossed around by the computer instead of free exploration. Media thesse days can be too self referential and fanservicey so something like being hunted by your Super self while you had this intentionally ugly new nerfed suit just felt so cool. Like it's a call back to the previous game yes but it's almost kind of spiteful if that makes sense, the good kind of fanservice instead of "Remember X?".

That said I don't think cockblocking you from exploring was really nessecary. It's amazing how far the devs go to keep you from say....exploring sector 5 early when there's really no in-game reason to stop you from doing it.

I kinda feel that if her shoulder pads were as big as they were in Prime Remastered, it'd lag the game a bit, especially if 4 has more areas and an overall bigger scope than Remastered

The few times when it focuses on the gameplay, Fusion has some interesting ideas. The whole SA-X thing was such a hit that Dread wanted its own version with the Emmis. It's just that, like you said, they unnecessarily restrict the player for no discernible reason at points. Same reason why I hate Zero Mission. Ignoring all of my other complaints, what really makes me unhappy is the lock and key BS that is the space jump, plasma beam and gravity suit. Until you hit chozodia, they objectively serve no function other than to unlock doors. They're just a way to push the player towards a certain route, instead of it being more natural. In other metroid games, at least locked doors had the premise that you'd get a cool item out of it once you got the ability to unlock them. With Zero Mission they pull that lock and key nonsense way too early, and the payoff happens way too late.

Once you actually unlock everything, there's no incentive to backtrack and collect 100%, because the whole world just felt so linear and claustrophobic.

Yeah it was underwhelming and solely hype just becasue its no longer vaporware. However, zelda between worlds, mario 3d world also had underwhelming first trailers, so they Will probably make a better one in 6 months or so.

Damn that's a good ad. Do they still make live actions ads for Vidya anymore?

>>680789739
I was disappointed by how far the game (Zero Mission) teases you with the power bombs being stolen only to give them to you like three rooms away from the final boss. I was seriously expecting another segment after that with you using the power bombs to explore more of the world before unlocking the final hatch like Super's statue room but nope game just ends right there.

On top of those other useless unknown items like you mentioned which only erase blocks.

Prime 1 started like that too, which wasn't indicative of the rest of the game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHS5aUrtQc4

>>680790150
Anon Prime 1 did not start with an assault sequence. Prime 1 starts out with Samus docking on a frigate that she received a distress signal from whereby the player investigates, and finds it run amok with parasites.
>>
>>680790150
I think you are confusing Prime 3.
>>
>>680752750
I didn't find the artefact hunt in Prime to be bad at all, I ended up picking most of them up just doing normal exploring before I got to the point where I actually needed them
>>
>>680789984
Considering it's been so long since Prime 3, I understand keeping the gameplay fairly conservative for now, it works to reintroduce the general feel of Metroid Prime. More game-specific mechanics are indeed saved for subsequent trailers, and the rumor is that Tanabe wanted to incorporate time travel into the game somehow, so we'll probably see that works out soon enough
>>
What was the last good game tanabs produced?

>>680790150
Prime started with a pretty obvious Ceres knockoff. I guess you are right about the non indicative thing since like Ceres only exists to act as a detached tutorial before dumping you into the actual interconnected map.

yes, it's actually tons of fun, unless you shiriek because of graphics style or shriek because you expected a single player Metrido game despite it saying multiplayer.

it has tons of bonus objectives.
mind you, don't try to do speedrunner tricks, like putting traps while infiiltrating to use when exfil, because that may sometimes freeze your game.

>>680811870

>>680756072
Its because its still at its core a metroid game. In metroid one of the best feelings is going through areas you went through before but now much stronger and having access to new shortcuts and more mobility. The best feeling in prime 1 was getting the plasma beam and just demolishing the space pirates and other enemies in previous rooms while looking for new powerups

Other M was trash, but there's no reason a 3rd person metroid couldn't work at all. Especially since the motion control fad is over

>>680812875
IDK. I just like Hyper Mode (as the difficulty setting was called before the Trilogy rerelease). It's like survival-horror mode because you automatically lose a whole energy bar if you get triggered. Or is that only when Samus manually activates Hyper Mode? Honestly, it's been a long time since I played it. I just remember liking it a lot.

Same. And to be honest, I wouldn't even mind the zero suit that much if coomers weren't so obnoxious, and if Other M never happened of course. The real problem of fanservice is the audience it attracts. Like I can't discuss Splatoon because everyone is busy jerking off to inklings, and nobody cares about the game itself, so that just kinda ruins the game. Same with Overwatch. What could've been a decent game, ended up another POS that people only cared about because of waifus.

BASED

Death to the feddies is always good. Maybe Sylux isn't such a bad guy.

So would doing this thing be pleasure or borderline hell knowing Phazon rules.

Boring. Hard skip. More so if they go with the original tank controls instead of just making a normal FPS.

My question is why do Prime fanboys enjoy eating shit.

So the twist is going to be he's going to be not only the Federations answer to Samus in the event she leaves (She does), but them being the dumbfucks they are decided to create him with Samus DNA from her armor Metroid Fusion style, in which said armor part had Ridley's Blood splattered on it after her first battle on Zebes prior to all Prime Games.

Maybe people are just happy that it's not open world Ubislop with gimmicks everywhere.

Sounds retarded enough to be legit.

As an observation the arm cannon stayed very consistent from Return of Samus to Corruption with only Fusion changing it and then there's the Other M pea shooter, both the color and shape made it look like a toy.

everything about other m is just gross. what were they thinking

>>680750704
I kinda agree, but they where good for early 2000s, but havent aged great. Prime 4 should really advance the formula. maybe focus more on tighter 1rst person platforming and finind a more interesting info collection system then the scanner.

How would open world even work

Wowie, what marvel movie is this?
>>
>>680748798
Its not even out yet. You got a small video akin to the one released in 2017. Big deal
>>
>>680822210
This is actually so cringe

>>680749304
Imagine how much better Metroid would be if Samus' arm cannon broke every 15 shots.

>>680823035
No it's not anon. You just have shit tastes.

>>680822492

Fuck you and fuck Mercury Steam for putting that shit mechanic in SR and Dread. It fucking sucks in those games and it would suck here.
>>
>>680823225
not him, but you dont need taste for slow walk shootie.

It is layed on a bit thick imo.
>>
>>680823340
It was clunky as fuck in SR but it feels amazing in Dread
>>
>>680749304
BotW and its consequences have been a disaster for the gaming landscape
>>
>>680823340
It’s good in dread. It ruins SR. I do wish they would tone it down in the next one so you don’t have to choose between beam spam or melee, and enemies have a normal amount of health
>>
They said the did the Prime remaster to get the dev teams feet wet for Prime 4 and I definitely see it in the trailer. Which excites and worries me. You can see the movement and overall feel look alot like the original Prime games, which is good, but I really hope they have more up their sleeve to mix up the formula. I dont want Prime 1.5, I want 4.
>>
I hope there are Chozo characters
>>
>>680817443
I think you're conflating him with the worm man

You know what's especially galling about the disingenuous assertion that "its exactly the same"? The logical direction to go is something you lot would bitch about to high fucking heaven anyway. This is why I can't take you people seriously at all, because you constantly screech about nothing.
>>
Playing the remaster and some of the stronger normal enemies take way too long to fight and eats too much of my energy. Do I just start skipping them?

Here's hoping for the return of the Plasma Beam welding torch.

>>680748798
I hope the controls are better than its predecessors. Those were such a pain to play.

>>680751961
Well of course, who could? They're not very nutritious.
