I don't get the hate.

If you see hate from me for this it comes down to a few points :
- autoFUCKING aim
- retarded design choices
I don't mind the retarded plot points, I mean there's cheese in Metroid since Fusion and Zero Mission might as well appreciate the cheese cake this is going to be.

I... cannot wait to play this game. The trailer looked superb to me. Digging the changes shown to the Metroid formula. Let's hope it makes for a fun, compelling game.
Day 1 and all that.

I'm hoping the plot is delivered in a similar pace as Fusion. That story was pretty plot heavy for a Metroid game, but it didn't detract from the gameplay too much.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Best trailer yet. Looks really good.
Can't wait to see how Samus went from a team player to a total loner.
Probably going to have a fairly bittersweet ending.

This is what I've thought from the beginning. The flow of combat and movement has always "felt" right to me in videos.

Also, not a huge fan of the new suit design, but thats mostly because IMO it lacks detail compared with the Prime design. Or maybe the orange just shows it off better.

I'm in the hyped camp for this one. It's a Metroid game, therefore I must play it.

God this looks awesome. Something really weird about seeing Samus in what looks like Hyrule Field though :lol
Check this trailer at 0:52.

maybe I'm just seeing things but that suit looks orange to me.
Also at 1:46 the suit looks orange.
EDIT: Actually if you look closely at 1:46 you can see that her suit is now Yellow in the center and Orange at the extremities... This is the Varia suit not the one she starts with.

Okay this trailer is the first one to actually make me excited since playing it earlier this year. A lot of those mechanics later on look pretty cool, and I'm starting to get a good feeling about how the plot will play out. It's still pretty bizarre to see them regress the visuals to Zero Mission Style in 3D though.
They've got Space Pirates in there now though, I wonder how they're involved with things. And I'm surprised to say that I'm not really a fan of any of the Japanese voices, they feel really out of place in this universe. Anthony's in particular is pretty god-awful. Good thing I'm not playing the Japanese version!

Samus moves like Ryu from Ninja Gaiden despite not using a melee weapon, which defeats the entire design behind how ryu moves.
Jumps like Ryu from Ninja Gaiden despite the game probably (hopefully) ending up being platform heavy. Again, defeating design decisions made for ninja gaiden but don't apply to metroid. And platforming in ninja gaiden was a pain even when it wasn't essential every 2-seconds gameplay.
Presentation like Ryu from Ninja Gaiden despite this being a metroid game. Couldn't be more opposite unfitting unless this was a yoshi game. Of course I say that in jest, but a lot of Gaf would probably go cuckoo over a high octane yoshi experience.
And now I know the music and cutscenes are something like Ninja Gaiden. Wonderful.
Of all the franchises in the world you had to come to this one. Okay, I exaggerate. Team Ninja coulda sabotaged plenty of other better franchises out there, but it's still a shame. It's a double shame cause I think Team Ninja are talented, but apparently, they don't like starting from scratch. Samus Aran? Eh, she's a ninja with a gun. Alright, let's move on to more important matters, like kill-moves.

Hearing Samus scream in that trailer made me change my opinion on her Japanese voice actress. They should have hired someone like the woman who does Motoko Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell (man, she has a beautiful voice). Someone who sounds like an adult anyway.
And Anthony's voice should be lower.
Otherwise it was nice.

Here's a shot of what EmCeeGramr is talking about.
Don't click if you hate spoilers.
Samus was very agile in Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission. She isn't supposed to move like a tank. She can roll up into a balll, salto around, wall jump and run incredibly fast in almost every Metroid game except the Prime series so it makes sense.Mr. B Natural said:

She was also pretty agile in the Prime games, is just that first person isn't the best way to show that, but we could see it with the screw attack. Maybe a Mirror's edge / Metroid Prime combination could work? Before mirror's edge I didn't expect it would be possible to do fast platforming in first person and make it feel right.
My complains have been reduced to only one, the suit is way too yellow, it's a pain to the eyes and pops out in a bad way in any scenario of the game.
