Literally everything I've wanted from not just a Metroid Prime game but a Metroid game in general.
Praying you're not a goo slurper and are being ironic
Crazy what a tonally appropriate trailer does for your game. Took them long enough to get their shit together.
kill tortanictrannies with hammers
>/v/ doesn’t like itSeeing as /v/ is wrong about everything and doesn’t even play videogames, that confirms it will be good. Looking forward to it, metroidchads.
>>724962282I feel the same way, I haven't been this hyped for a game in a very very long time.
>3 niggas in a rowi like it
I didn't read the thread, but the new trailer music sucks and the bike is laughably bad, but I'm still hoping that somehow the game turns out to be good even though I didn't like Prime 2&3. Please just don't be a Halo/Marvel Metroid game.
>>724964447Oh there's a new trailer? Well lets go see how bad this is
>>724964301>Samus is the unwinnable JRPG boss fightKino.
>>724964301It's kinda weird how they just whoosh in. Like no thought was put into the game. Everything is just bog-standard.
>>724964512Looked alright, but the open world meme killed it for me
>>724964883>still thinks it’s open worldNintendo loves its open world slop. Show me ONE instance where this game has been described as such.>b-b-butIf it were open world they would have said so over a year ago.
>>724965309>look mom I posted it again
that music choice was so fucking dogshit its not even registering to methey clearly hired retards to make this with 0 skill or musical sense
>>724965309This screams metroid
You know, we haven't seen a single new beam in this gameUnless you count whatever is going on with the power beam seemingly being infused with psychic juice
>>724962282Is Sylux really trilogy villain material?
>>724965498kys redditspace tard
Everything about this game screams "Troubled development"It's like they just wanted to get it the fuck out already and have Retro be disbanded
>>724965585No, but he’s new recurring rival material. I prefer it to ten billion Ridleys or yet another fucking Samus clone.
>>724964301what's their endgame?
>>724965674>yet another fucking Samus clone.But anon...he IS a samus clone
>>724965585No
magic runes, sylux and a motorbikenothere's nothing I'm looking forward to as a metroid prime game (why even make more prime games, just call it something else) or a metroid game
>>724965579>>724965623>>724965839Samefaggot.
We need Metroid 6 already to save us from this shit
>>724962282buy an ad
>>724965831He’s more like a bootleg.
MercuryStream spics made a worse game than Other M! (Other M is actually a good game)
>>724965585He's probably good enough to be a villain for one game. Then again, they've been building him up since the 2000s, so he better make one hell of an impact.>>724965623>2 year development before getting completely trashed and restarted>5 more years until we actually see anything>"Troubled development"No shit.
>>724965983>>724966142Samefaggot.
im sorry anon im new to this whole shitposting thing, ill try to do better next time. im also trans if that matters
Definitely what we needed after the last trailer with the bike was a little anti-hype. I wanna see more of that volcanic temple-like structure
Game Over
>>724962282You can see Kanden's slug form at 0:23.He's one of the other bounty hunters from the DS game.
>>724966760I was wondering about that. There’s no way that could be him though right?
>>724966907>>724966760I'm more inclined to say its just an alien bug, but theres definitely a resemblance.
>>724966760TRACEBROS THERE'S STILL A CHANCE
>>724962282Wow I can't wait for generic sci-fi fps but published by Nintendo and with the same boring Akira reference that only redditors still find amusing in the current year.
>>724966907It's too similar just to be a coincidence.Like why would the trailer focus on a random slug enemy?
>>724967025I know for a FACT Retro isn't based enough to bring him back.
obligatory
30 days until Prime 4 splits the board between gamers and haters
>>724967025That could actually be the plot of a Federation spinoff, the Federation having fight off an invasion from the Kriken Empire.Metroid Tactics when?
>>724964745>Kinda weird how they just woosh inThe artificial hate is getting kind of ridiculous. What the fuck did you want? Some break dancing? They went for an ominous somber entrance and it looks good. I actually love the composition of that shot. In fact the little cutscenes look great so far. Specially the intro.
>>724967284Haters don't even play Metroid.
>>724967169Sylux is cool but I really hope we see the other hunters in some way. Maybe not in this game but in a future one.
It appears that weapons are going to be tied to the d-pad, not just the missiles. Also I hope this wind doesn't end up being as obtrusive as it appears here. If so, that would really blow>>724966760Hate to let you down, but it really doesn't look the same.>>724967195Isn't there some other iconic motorcycle scene that people can reference?
>>724967963flamethrower?
>>724967395NTA because I’m not a tortanictranny but now you make me want a Metroid villain with the same vibe as Scaramouche. Just an absolute goofball who’s also conspicuously good at fighting to make Samus quietly seethe.
>>724968121Theres the flame weapon on the D-pad, and whatever uses the white ammo on the right. Both of them use different symbols so they're both different weapons
I wanna see more of this place
>>724968321Or they're bringing back universal ammo
>>724964512The new trailer is what OP's image is from, honestly surprised at the lack of threads. Grim.
>>724967963I've been wondering about that flame icon for ages.Could that non-missile ammo counter on the right be for this thing? The HUD was nearly empty when they showed off the psychic powers in March, but the symbol seems to match.
>>724968121Probably just the plasma beam, or maybe not. I'm just spitballing here, but I think that the player is gonna be able to switch out what secondary weapon they use. Like, say you equip the missiles and now it's mapped to the x button. Then you switch to the flame icon and now the plasma beam is mapped to the x button. I'm probably way off and I'm not really considering what the white ammo bar with a different symbol is for.>>724968497Is it bad to say that this looks like it came straight out of Doom and that I like that?
Playing through Prime 2 for the first time currently and this Dark Aether health drain shit is annoying. I just got the Dark Beam so I hope I get an upgrade for it soon.
imagine if it had third person view...
>>724962971Nintendo makes the trailers. Retro makes the games. It's not Retro's fault that the company making Mario Kart and Donkey Kong doesn't know how to market an atmospheric sci fi game.
>>724968742Thats what I thought, but in the psychic powers trailer it looks like theres a separate bar to show your psychic stuffCould just be a UI redesign I guess
>>724968845>I just got the Dark BeamDon't worry, the health drain is going to become a lot less annoying soon. Keep trucking.
>>724968845Its most intrusive in the beginning when you don't have a lot of health. It will get a lot more manageable soon
Graphical improvement over the first trailer
>>724968742>The HUD was nearly empty when they showed off the psychic powers in March, but the symbol seems to match.Maybe you're right and I'm over thinking it. Looks like beam ammo is back on the menu.>>724968845The health drain and even the limited beam ammo really aren't so bad once you get used to them.>>724968885The environments are looking pretty good.>>724968993I reckon that the bar for psychic abilities and the bar for the purple beam might be different.
>>724965579We haven't seen any gameplay where Samus has more than three energy tanks. They are only showing a few parts from early in the game and letting the player experience the rest for the first time. That's how you market this stuff. Relax.
>>724969157Wouldn't it be funny if the top pic is from the Switch 1 version and the bottom is from the Switch 2 one? No that would be terrible.
>>724964745It's pretty intentionally meant to look eerie and considering we know the game literally has psychic powers, that's on theme. "No thought" cause of that is a fucking wild reach.
>>724966671MYDIIIIIICK
>>724968497Why? It looks pretty generic to me.
>>724969529I don't think you should stick your dick in there.
>>724969557You look generic.
>>724969617I should stick my entire body in there*
>>724968747>Is it bad to say that this looks like it came straight out of Doom and that I like that?Not at all. Reminds me of the modern games.
>>724968497
>>724969198They're definitely hiding some surprises in there.I hope the endgame suit kicks ass.
>>724969320What's eerie about it? They just zoom in. Is this like how zoomers find empty rooms scary?
I hate this fat bastard like you wouldn't believe.
>>724970659absolutely miserable fight on hypermode and then the rest of the game is a cakewalk. corruption is scuffed.
>>724969198I'm not dooming, its just something I noticed.I hope we're back to prime 1+2 style beam swapping, instead of prime 3 style beam stacking
>>724970659I like how even in the recent art book, Tanabe said that maybe they should have removed one of Mogenar's orbs.
>>724969695No really though what makes it look so interesting to people?
>>724970225>>724972474I’m not interested in engaging with pedants beyond calling you annoying faggot. If you can’t see why the game might appeal to others, why are you even in this thread nigger?
>>724966142This, but sincerely. I enjoyed Other M more than Samus Returns.
>>724972474I am under no obligation whatsoever to explain my subjective tastes to a shitposter.
>>0724972721>>0724972932>erm it is not my job to educate youso then you dont actually like prime 4
>>724968845wtf?! is that pic real?!
>>724973094>erm it is not my job to educate youCorrect, you worthless baiting subhuman. You’re catching on.
Clearly the best trailer so far but I'm still only cautiously optimistic
>>724972932>>724972721I don't get why you're being assholes I am just curious what makes it stand out to you as its the least visually interesting area to me and looks more like DOOM than Metroid. I literally am not shitposting I didn't even say anything insulting.
>>724962282so we finally got one (1) good trailer
>>724965309Would you rather race through the desert or walk through a tube?
>>724972932so you have no confidence in your own opinion, says it all really
>>724971326dark samus on hypermode is way, way way more difficult than mogenar
MYSTERY NIGGA
>>724975069Samus will probably have to rescue federation troopers who got pulled into the timewarp with her.
>>724972721>>724972932>>724973094
>>724975679>escort missionsoh. oh no.
>>724962282That's good for you bro. Normally I get pissed at meteoroid fans because they're entitled piece of shit bitchmoaners who cry and beg every company to make every game as outdated and unfun as this genre but you seem to actually be enjoying something. And you're not trying to tear down my fun. You're not trying to gaslight Nintendo into thinking fans of intrinsic fun games like botw don't exist. I appreciate that.Enjoy your game bro. And never change.
>>724972474The tubes out front look like stain glass windows, which puts me in the mind of a church and I just think thats neat
>>724974836I’m supremely confident it would be lost on a retarded secondary like yourself. >>724975995>being THIS desperateyour bait is just shit I’m afraid.
>this game i haven't played yet is a 10/10 also all those other metroid games suck>marketing screenshot jpgvery organic post thanks OP
>>724962282I noticed at this part of the trailer she's able to move backwards while exiting ball form. I replayed Prime 3 earlier in the summer & Prime Remastered not long before that and I'm pretty sure that that wasn't possible before, you could only move forward I believeBetween this, how much quicker the transition seems to be (based on the very first gameplay trailer) and some other impressions I've read from people who've played the public demo (in which iirc it was said that you can dash in any direction as opposed to only laterally) I'm interested to see what the movement is like, it seems like they're making a lot of changes in that regard
>>724976963bait? desperation? You say this to me when you're the one who purposefully obfuscated your replies like a coward in the hope your opponents wouldn't see them?That's rich.
>>724976090It could be so much worse, anon. That trooper is a wrench on the radar.>SAMUS THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE>GO GET ME 50 SCRAP SO I CAN REPAIR THIS SHIP AND MOVE IT OUT OF YOUR WAY
>>724977586Let the great Geemer holocaust begin, I need that scrap.But... why does a Geemer drop scrap?
>>724977586Could be the opposite. Maybe the trooper offers repairs for Samus.
>>724977303Yeah I noticed that too.The enemies in that area were also able to swat away samus' missle, which I think is cool
>>724969294>No that would be terrible.That is obviously the case. What did you expect? The top one is from the first reveal, which showed exclusively SW1 footage. But since they anounced the switch 2, they have only showed footage of the SW2 version.It still looks great for a switch 1 game.
Honestly considering buying the switch 1 edition just because of the box art, even though I'm planning on buying a switch 2 for kirby. I'm assuming it'll be cheaper so getting it with the digital switch 2 upgrade would be the same price. Are there any other downsides to that plan I'm forgetting about?
>>724964745>there will be months of this bullshit
>>724978201>text covering her thighsDeplorable
>>724977759Realistically, you probably just have to save him or defend him for a bit while he does something to help you progress.I wonder if they'll just disappear after they serve their purpose or if there's gonna be a little GF camp somewhere in the world.
>>724972474We've seen plenty of lava areas before, but they were usually factories or caverns. The red glow and the deliberate architecture makes it look like a place of evil or hell (hence the Doom comparisons). It's not really something you don't see often or ever in a Metroid game.>>724975679Is it gonna be like Prime 3 where I have two seconds to shoot a small button before some poor saps are sucked out into space?>>724978201I'm getting the Switch 1 version because I don't plan on getting a Switch 2.
I really want to play this game at 120fps but my monitor only does 60hzWhat should I get for a new one?
>>724965309holy slop. Nintendo fans are actually praising this?
>>724962282>revealed magma locationThe anon who said I was full of shit with my leak can apologize now. Next up is the part when nintendo shows you just have friggin yuge this planet is.
>>724969157Wow the dirt patch is larger.
>>724962282Remaster of 2 and 3 when? i only ever played the prime 1 remaster for switch and really enjoyed it, i remember trying to emulate prime 2 and 3 like 15 years ago and gave up
>>724980547a Switch 2
>>724965309Calling it now, the bike sections will be this game's Skytown rails from Prime 3
>>724981561I called that last week, you cant have it.
>>724981561It's going to be like Botw and Totk, the farther out you go the bigger the enemy threats and the better the ore deposits.
>>724966760>>724966907>>724966996It's definitely not Kanden, but the resemblance is still close enough that I think there could be a connection. Kanden's backstory is that he was an experiment and maybe this bug creature is one of the things involved in the experiment? This area is also heavy on the lightning, and the Volt Driver is Kanden's main weapon.
>>724977303>(in which iirc it was said that you can dash in any direction as opposed to only laterally)You can also airdash
I wonder what the 100% item collection ending teaser is gonna be
>>724983052>air dashing in a Prime gameHow is that gonna work?>>724983080A teaser for Metroid 6.
>>724983080>I wonder what the 100% item collection ending teaser is gonna beSomehow Dark Samus has returned
>>724974425Walk through a tube.
>>724983080>WHAS GOOD NIGGAAAAAA
they should go third person like MP1 was originally going to be before Miyamoto changed it. It looks way more immersive with this view
Did you guys see this enemy smacking away your missile?https://youtu.be/3fN5zFkeA4A?t=49
>>724962282Wow, they actually put out a good trailer, at last. Also, I just want to point out that it is 100% in character or Samus to do the Akira Slide. Our girl is a huge dweeb who cannot resist doing a sick action pose.
>>724963141Been saying this for years, but they always reply that the hammer will fall apart before it hits them.
>>724984043Genuinely curious, I keep seeing people saying the other trailers are bad. What was wrong with them? Maybe I can't seperate myself from already knowing what Prime is, but they seem like fine trailers that show off what Prime is like?
>>724983080Definitely Trace/Kriken related
>>724983683MY STRATEGY IS OUT THE WINDOW
>>724983609If we ever get a TPS Metroid, I'd be interested to see how it would handle movement abilities. The main thing TPS has over FPS is that you can let the player do crazier movement more naturally.
>>724984263I was under the impression everyone just wants a 30 minute direct already. I suspect that it's coming and the reason it's taking so long is they're polishing up the multiplayer.
>>724983080There isn't going to be one last time they did it in fusion/prime 3 it took them 18 years to follow up (tbf federation force does but who cares) and in the case of fusion they just completely dropped the GF thing in Dread.
>>724984359Please, God.
>>724984043another to the list of sci-fi media references/inspiration
>>724984359I feel like this isn't a game where you want a Direct? Dedicated Directs seem more suited to games like Splatoon, Mario Kart or Kirby Air Riders where the point is having a ton of different playmodes and variations, therefore there's more to talk about in a Direct. I feel like a focus single player game with a story you don't want to spoil too much of isn't gonna show well when you give it a dedicated 15 or 20+ minute showing of its features.
>>724968885>>724983609Glad I'm not the only one who had that thought. >>724984359Dude, I will actually nut if there's a Metroid Direct.
>>724984758I think metroid is at its best when they aren't ashamed of their inspirations. Hell the original never would've happened if not for some dev watching a cool movie and being inspired.
>>724984860I'll just be happy with getting another metroid game in the next 10 years. I fear another dark age if this game doesn't sell well, since the nips aren't fond of a badass chick with a gun arm. Somehow.
>>724983683Probably have to hit it from behind with the psychic drone missile.or just hit it from behind regularly i suppose
>>724984758I unironically love how Metroid has zero shame about wearing its influences on its sleeve. Wish more things would just admit that "originality" isn't actually real in the colloquial sense.
>>724984941I would argue that the Prime series in particular in heavily inspired by older planetary romance works like John Carter of Mars and Flash Gordon. Really only a matter of time until Samus romances a scantily clad warrior princess.
>>724984837You definitely want a direct to show off the new stuff, the viola bike, the open world, the performance and control schemes, and the multiplayer.
>>724985729
>>724983080Will we even have a zero suit appearance that isn't just a shitty unlockable gallery art, or is this series too woke for that now?
I really hope hes playable in some capacity
>>724986157Multiplayer. And yes, I am going to sit here and defend Prime 2's multiplayer. It was fun. Suck my dick.
The marketing for this game has been really strange, it's like they have no idea how to showcase it. Best trailer so far but I still barely know anything about it.
>>724986504I'm sure it was, but they've made no indication that they're doing it again. They COULD say whether or not they are in the month between now and release, or they could go radio silent between now and then, we don't know
>>724986504It was slow.
>>724968683They did just drop the trailer randomly with no announcement whatsoever. Really odd move even for nintendo.
>>724986842They know it’s gonna sell like shit so why even bother putting it in a direct
>>724986842>Really odd move even for nintendoBut Nintendo does that all the time.
>>724987071They did, though: Three times. Four if you count the Switch 2 Direct in April. They even made it the "one last thing" announcement the first time they properly showed it off
>>724987071Nah, it'll sell fairly well since>it's releasing for the holidays>switch 2 is lacking first party titles>metroid fans have been desprate for like a decadeIt's likely to be the best-selling metroid game at the very least.
>>724986842Is it though? Is it really?
>>724984758>no cobra
>>724987224Super Metroid is my favorite game of all time and I fucking hate the Prime games. Will not be purchasing hmph
>>724987459can you really consider yourself a fan of a series if you hate of of its games?genuine question
>>724987346Hell, they just did it not too long ago with Animal Crossing
>>724987536Guess there are no legitimate Metroid fans then since no one likes Other M.
>>724987678I meant to say>if you hate most of its gamesbut fucked up editing the post during autosubmit.
So how's she losing the psychic powers? Cause there's no way in hell Samus is just gonna have goddamn telekinesis from now on, even if we assume this is post-Dread(which I really hope it is.). my theory is that the power comes from the forehead gem, so that will just break. I kinda hope she keeps Vi-O-La though, that'd be fun.
>>724987224>>metroid fans have been desprate for like a decadeBut we got Dread 4 years ago.
>>724987775It's not post Dread, Prime Saga is sandboxed between Metroid 1 and 2 so they can use Metroid's. Could be as simple as the Light Suit in 2 where she just gives the locals their shit back.
>>724987756Oh. Well that makes a lot more sense then, nevermind.
LINK TO LEAKS??????????????????????????????????????????
>>724987807yeah and it only took 20 fucking years
>>724987775It can't be post-Dread if Sylux is using Metroids. It's kinda known at this point that the Prime games all take place between 1 and 2, and yes, it is kind of absurd that that much stuff happened between those two games, but it is what it is
i have all 3 prime games never finished one of them, i really like fusion though maybe I should try dread
>>724988045Retcon it so the Fed's/Samus don't actually know about SR388 until after the Prime saga.
>>724987859The original trilogy is between 1 and 2. No confirmation that Beyond is though. Especially since we get a definitive year for this one, which indicates that it's at least post-Super.
>>724962282I still don't care for the motorcycle but that trailer was much better at least.
>>724988236It's not, Metroid's Producer long said Prime takes place between 1 and 2 in order to allow Metroid usage. That's their continuity sandbox, it won't be after 2.
>>724988310>in order to allow Metroid usageDoes anyone actually buy for even a second that metroids are totally going to remain extinct? Even fucking Raven Beak's entire plan was to clone metroids from Samus' DNA. And we've already seen the Space Pirates with metroids in all of their facilities. And the Feds have metroid samples(which is a major plot point). The little bastards are never going away because anyone can just make more. Hell, I am unironically waiting for Samus to have a metroid hybrid daughter(they reproduce asexually, recall), and for the series to just go FULL Aliens.
>>724988629It's possible. Sakamoto did say the Metroid saga ended with Dread and the next game will start a new story.
>>724988178Honestly, Prime 4 would be a good opportunity to show Samus and the Feds discovering SR388 at the end or something. ... I just want the series to move forward. Honestly, seeing the number 5 was just as hype as seeing the word Dread.
>>724988629Probably take a while but they can always asspull some random lab in some corner of the galaxy having metroid samples or whatever.
>>724988821Discovering? SR-388's location wasn't unknown. The reason the Space Pirates got a hold of Metroids in the first place is because they attacked a Federation research ship that was returning from SR-388 with a couple Metroids on board.
>>724988776Sakamoto also forgot that Samus was raised by aliens, so maybe we take what he says with a grain of salt, yeah?
>>724962970Even worse. He's being paid to post.
>>724988984I just said it was possible. It's possible other people will hold his hand there, Sakamoto did say the Ridley fight connecting Prime to 2D was Mercury Steam's idea.
Honestly most of the complaints about the new trailer feel incredibly forced. Like the people making them have a pathological need to call it bad, but can't really articulate why.
Where the hell are the pre-order bonuses? Just years ago I got a cool little Bell bag from Best Buy for New Horizons. Come on.
>>724989323Buy amiibo's. I have the bike and Sylux pre-ordered.
>>724963553CD-I meme just forced soul
>>724966142>>724972802>Other M good than remakeOpinion discarded
>>724986504Prime 2 was so fun multiplayer, we would stop playing Smash Melee to play it instead frequently.
>>724986660>they've made no indication that they're doing it again
>>724989716We need to normalize remaking bad games. I unironically want to see an Other M remake, and see if they can make it good. Story issues aside, they could at least make it play like a Metroid game, where exploration matters.
>>724989996Not to mention all the ex-Halo people they made a big deal of hiring. And the fact Sylux is a major character. And how they brought back the mechs from Federation Force. Frankly, it'd be weird if there wasn't multiplayer.
>>724990228Exactly, one would need to be blind as a bat and a total dingus not to see the moves being made behind the scenes at this point. Like stop asking why there's no huge focus on marketing yet, there's going to be multiplayer it's that simple.
>>724990289Devil's advocate: What if it turns out there isn't any multiplayer? What will you say then?
>>724990228>Frankly, it'd be weird if there wasn't multiplayer.How would that even work in the context of metroid? The only games to have it was prime 2 which went poorly and hunters which was a ds game
>>724990398Hunters but as a console game with mouse support.
>>724990351I will say they're remaking Prime Hunters
