EDIT: It's in Japanese. Oh the horror.

I'm discussing it with you in a few decades when I learned Japanese.

Everytime I see anything related to Metroid: Other M's story, I am reminded of EmCeeGramr's avatar.

Music has a MGS vibe to it.

After the character intro the music gets goooood!

Samus voice in japanese and squeaks are too anime for my taste.

Spoiler

Wave Beam

Grapple!

I didn't see nothing bad, in fact I really enjoyed that. Most say they seem to be with you longer then I had originally thought they would be but that doesn't bother me to much.

Well, you still get an overall sense of where the trailer is going, cinematics and some glimpse of gameplay.

 

[Instro]

Some nice shinesparks in there. With any luck we can use those for some sequence breaks.

OMG RIDLEY SONG.

Gameplay looks like it has a certain rhythm to follow as opposed to just smashing the fire button to death.

My reaction too.

I like the new environments, not thrilled that the team you see in the beginning is still around though.

My opinion remains unchanged - game looks cool, story will most likely be crap.

It looks like they're slowly killed off anyway.

Well Adam is dead by the time Fusion rolls around so I imagine the marine team will be getting picked off one by one at some point.

Also "AN-TOH-NEEEEEEEEEEEE!".

 

[Penguin]

Wow seeing the game play stuff has really put me back into the camp for this game.

The only thing is, it seems like all of her power ups are "activated"

 

[Boney]

Also "AN-TOH-NEEEEEEEEEEEE!".

Yeah, from what I can tell, somebody from the team has to kill him. Adam perhaps?

 

[Threi]

"Ha Ha!"

I almost thought Cody from SF/FF was going to make a cameo :lol


aside from that this trailer has convinced me that the game is gunna suck and I'm going to go cancel my preorder now and never buy any future metroid products until the franchise is dead.

 

[Teknoman]

I guess a few standard powers will be activated by command, but I doubt the majority of the power ups will. It looks like the space station blows up at some point?

 

[AntMurda]

Metroid is like Tetris. It isn't allowed to have a story. Even though Sakamoto was building it up. Metroid 3. Metroid Fusion.

Not too mention the 5 billion ALL TEXT STORY games he made.

This is GAF! Where fat nerds get to impose laws on the game designers.

All I thought when watching it was 'I wonder when Jack Bauer is gonna turn up'.

All we needed was a 'The following takes place between 1AM and 2AM' card at the start.

 

[Tain]

This game is either going to be really good or a waste of a decent combat system.

I can't tell which yet.

The beauty of Super Metroid's story was in how understated and mysterious everything was. You get a text log at the beginning, and off you go. Opposite of Metroid Fusion. Certainly opposite of this.

Yet Metroid Fusion was awesome. And hardcore. Hardcore bosses everywhere. I loved that game.

 

[Combine]

I still don't remember him...

 

[ILikeFeet]

I liked what I saw. can't make heads or tails of the story elements due to the moonspeak. but gameplay looks good. may be the first Metroid I'm interested in

 

[Teknoman]

I'm in the really good camp.

Everyone was up in arms about the events taking place between Metroid and Metroid II being told in first person through Metroid Prime, but that turned out just fine.

Same for Metroid Prime, but in that you don't even get the intro. You're guided through a quick weapons walkthrough (space station), and then left to your own devices when you land.

What's superb about Prime is that you can speed rush through the game and still enjoy it immensely, but if you take your time and really take in what's around you, theres absolutely loads of story waiting to be discovered.

i'd wager on really good.

 

[Teknoman]

I'm just hoping we get lots of creepy boss themes, classic remixes here and there, and some nice new themes.

Stuff similar to Parasite Queen , Ancient Chozo Ruins, Statue Chamber, Flaahgra, and of course Mother Brain

Would be nice if the jungle area we've seen was a remix of Brinstar Jungle floor

Speaking of which, who's in charge of that department?

I thought we were friends

Sorry, can't see that, you're ignored.

 

[highspeeddub]

Wow, this is the best video yet!

The Space Marines look cool. There's that shot at 1:35 showing them standing lined up in the dark looking ISOLATED. Ok, so they are a little bit stereotypical (bad guy called Lyle) but it seems there's going to be a bit of drama going on, making things interesting; it's not going to be as simplistic as Corruption where you meet the 3 bounty hunters in the beginning of the game then you fight them through the game as bosses. It looks like they work together as a team, and there's tension in the team... though Samus works alone.

The voice acting doesn't sound as terrible in the Japanese version. I wish they could release this with an option for Japanese voices and English subtitles.

Well, I'm looking forward to playing it.

 

[Teknoman]

I've been trying to find that out, but no luck so far. Most of the Metroid Prime listings have Kenji Yamamoto credited.

EDIT: Off topic, but I wish Nintendo would've made some sort of Metroid II remake like Zero Mission. Cant find a decent copy of the original anywhere.

Yeah but Yamamoto is in charge of DKC Returns.

Hmm

 

[Plywood]

They remind me of TOM:

 

[AceBandage]

Looks so awesome.
Can't wait for it to come out!

 

[Teknoman]

Yeah but Yamamoto is in charge of DKC Returns.

Hmm

I guess it's still possible he did Other M, since DKC doesnt release until...Nov-Dec.?

 

[Fimbulvetr]

They remind me of TOM:

I remember him!

Spoiler

Can't unsee, thanks a lot.

 

[Harpuia]

The more I see about Other M's story, the less I'm actually looking forward to it...

3DS. Watch it happen. If not, then it's one Hell of an opportunity to miss.

Metroid Dread 3DS first.

Back when Toonami was cool.

Would be nice. If not, i'll have to just buy the original GB version. It's the only Metroid game I still havent played.

 

[ILikeFeet]

The memories

 

[AceBandage]

Back when Toonami existed.

There was never a time it wasn't cool.
Even when it was basically just the Naruto power hour.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

smithsonian??

I noticed that too :lol

 

[gogojira]

Nice to see the Wave Beam in action.

 

[Oli]

I seriously cannot figure out how I feel about this game. I keep going back and forth between: "This looks so awesome", and "This could be disastrous".

I really really hope that the former is true, because it has a lot of potential.
