Okay, it wasn't THAT bad
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, it wasn't bad. It's fucking HORRIBLE!
>>737422569The Duke Nukem Forever of our generation
Daily reminder that the Prime trilogy released in a five year window. Metroid Prime (1) was conceived from scratch and developed in just over a year's time, then released soon after. Almost the entirety of the Prime team left Retro after the company was inexplicably relegated to developing forgettable Donkey Kong shovelware, yet Nintendo tried to pretend that they were "bringing Retro back" to develop Prime 4, even though there was literally nobody from the OG team involved except the faggot retard chink producer who works for Nintendo who has never developed a video game in his life. Subsequently, the game took SIX years to develop, on top of the two years Bandai-Namco's team had worked on the project.Eight years. For one game that has 23-25 hours of some of the most generic, lackluster, if not downright offensive content both in gameplay and story elements. Not even a single interesting alien design or piece of lore.Nintendo is so fucking stupid they paid these retards for six years. Thanks, Iwata.
>>737422984How did Prime Remastered end up so good?
>>737423035You tell me, I never played it. What's different?
It was worse.
>>737423137complete visual overhaul of all the game assets and lighting while retaining the original stylenew control schemes along with implementation of all the old control schemesreadding effects that got removed from the trilogy version (and making the cursor less fucking ugly and immersion breaking) new effects like directional rainfall on the cannon and thermal visor details
>>737423035>>737423137Based on what I've read, it's just HD visuals and a modern control scheme. Not exactly something to be proud of, especially since """Retro""" had Iron Galaxy working on it. Presumably they (IG) were the primary workforce, considering they're known for ports/remasters and Not-Retro would've been working on Beyond.>It was criticized for not crediting the developers of previous versions of Metroid Prime by name, instead crediting them as "original Nintendo GameCube and Wii version development staff"Holy kek, what a fucking joke.
>>737423420Sounds neat and all, and Beyond definitely looks good. Particularly the prologue and earlier environments. Towards the end it looks like they gave up, not to mention the desert in general.The game looks and feels fine, but it's a creative disaster.
>>737423479Bit rude
I only ever played Dread and thought it was great, is the prime trilogy a good follow up?
>>737423578Depends, you could probably enjoy Super Metroid if you want more 2D action. All of the Prime trilogy games are good but the first one is the best.
>>737422569It certainly didn't look good. The bike and desert were a major red flag, then Miles came in for the finishing blow. Loved the original trilogy but you'd have to pay me to touch this one.
>>737423571I paid $60 and spent 23 hours to get 98% completion, I think I'm entitled to be slightly perturbed.I don't know, the whole situation just feels fake, as do the end results. Like they brought Retro back even though the creative team behind the OG left almost a decade prior. Then they slapped their name on the Remaster as a selling point, even though it's apparent a largely uncredited third-party actually developed it. Meanwhile the true (fake) team was working on the fourth entry in the franchise, taking five times the length to develop that the original took, despite having arguably less content and being significantly lower quality.AND the "updated" visuals and controls featured in Remaster and Beyond are just bog standard for FPS titles from the last fifteen years anyway, so it's like congratulating the person who came in last place in a marathon. Like yeah, you finished the race, that's an accomplishment in its own right, but you're fifteen fucking years late to the finish line.They had the formula and the general setting/concept laid out in front of them, and they did less than nothing with it. So what am I supposed to do? Give these creatively destitute, talentless losers a medal? Fuck off.And fuck Nintendo. Shithole company hasn't produced a fucking thing worthwhile in over 20 years.
>>737424574>over 20 yearsSin & Punishment 2 and Kid Icarus Uprising aren't that old yet.
>>737424574I was saying it was a bit rude on their part to not give actual credit to the original team.
So bad it will kill the series
>>737422569But it was not anything remotely close to good either
>>737422569No. It was very bad.
>>737423035One of the few things modern devs can do is visuals (some still manage to even fuck that up with laziness) it's everything else they suck at.
>>737423035Prime 1 was always the best Prime anyway (thanks Miyamoto-san) so Remaster was hard to fuck up. Just improve the visuals and controls and that's it.
>>737422569On par with prime 2 and better tham prime 3. So I'd give it a 3/10.
>>737422569It was THAT bad. it was aggressively mediocre in every aspect, completely bland and tasteless. that's about as bad as it gets for video games.
>>737429634Prime 2 is better than a 3/10 for Sanctuary Fortress alone.
>>737423420>webm starts with the door>the og graphic designer chimed in that they didn't understand his layers and fucked it up accidentally
>>737429720makes sense, the new doors look kind of flat and wrong.
Probably the most ok game I've played in awhile
>>737429720>>737429908>the og graphic designer chimed inthat retard didn't work on the remaster, he has no idea what he's talking aboutit's clear that the door were intentionally redesigned to be more visible and are more similar to how doors always have been in metroid with the full blue shield for fuck's sake you can literally see the pre baked blue glow they added in front of the door, that lighting would make no sense if the entire door wasn't glowingthey probably did it partly to help make them more visible on the small portable screen, similar to how they changed the scan icons and made them more visble (but uglier)use your fucking brains for once instead of regurgitating retarded twitter shit said by someone who didn't work on the remaster and hasn't been in the industry in decades and was commenting on pre release incredibly compressed YouTube footagefuck you
>>737430998that's a lot of words to justify shittier looking doors. I don't give a shit why they made them look shittier, that's not my problem. Get Retro's cock out of your mouth anon.
>>737422569It's a 4/10 in a series of 8-9/10's, so yeah it's dogshit.
