The moral of this thread is not to jump to conclusions. Saying the story presentation "IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!" isn't a very well rounded conclusion if you dislike Samus's brief monologue in the trailers. On other side of the coin, saying the story presentation will fail because you think it may adopt an excessive melodramatic tone based solely on a few short trailers isn't a well rounded conclusion either.
KeeSomething said:
We haven't seen anything significant in terms of the story presentation outside of Samus's thoughts and recollections of her past. Any conclusions about how the story will be presented throughout the game based on this monologue alone will be seen as superficial. I would say people think you're blowing things out of proportion. I haven't participated in this thread because there just isn't much to talk about yet. It's been awhile since I've seen this forum scrape this much whining and arguing from something so unsubstantial.
I thought the new teaser was pretty good but I call it a teaser for good reason. It certainly puts the game on your mind but tells you nothing of significance.

Isn't the game like Ninja Gaiden/Devil May Cry? How would you SB those?

And then the next posts say something along the lines: "No, i never wanted that" "No I never said that"
Tell me another character that is not generic then.
Why is everyone judging the whole game with just 2 trailers?and a leak
You know what, I liked it mostly in Super Metroid when it had a sci-fi story of epicness of "Ridley stole the last metroid? Return to Zebes?!?" I liked her narration at the beginning.
Then something like Fusion comes along, I liked the game but her constant yapping about her little relationship between her and adam was like, yeah I get it Samus, you liked/admired him.

Oh, I just saw those reveal vids/avatars long ago with her comboing badguys. There's a reason I haven't commented on the game itself in this thread.
L00P said:
I doubt it will be as open as the first Metroid or Super Metroid, or the prime games, because all this cutscenes look a lot like the unskipabble points of Zero Mission/Fusion. But I think is safe to presume the game will be fully interconnected once you clear the last boss like any other metroid game.
Behold the inner turmoils of the GAF machine!
Yeah, the "trailer" looked like shit. I'm still excited for the game because it has a unique gameplay system never before attempted and only possible on the Wii (not important, but a draw nevertheless). Also, this is Nintendo working on the Metroid franchise. Even if it's not amazing, it will still be pretty damn good. It's basic maths, people.

Just saw the new trailer.
VA seems much better than the leaked cut scene.

Wow. Was that trailer really bad enough for
a reaction like this?
A part of me hopes that Sakamoto will fill this game
to the brim with anime melodrama and T&A just to
make some of you cry even harder.

Personally, I like it.
People always bitch that Nintendo doesn't flesh their characters out enough, and now they are.
I mean, it's a video game, when have they been known for Oscar Caliber writing? (I mean, besides GTA4).

Well, there is shit voice acting that's embarrassing and shit voice acting that's hilarious, this one better get much worse or it's going to be completely pointle...........oh wait, voice acting and cutscenes are just that in Metroid games, this game is right on schedule.

The writing in Majora's Mask and The Wind Waker is the best in the industry, and it easily can contend with most Oscar movies, in my opinion.AceBandage said:
But, as far as my beliefs of game design go, the gameplay should dictate the story. Not the other way around.

I think people have far to high of standards for VA.
This new trailer was pretty good.
The script wasn't all that great, but the reading was good.

Actually, I do like Samus's voice in the trailer. I think it fits her. She is just given crummy dialog in the cutscenes*.MattKeil said:

I find this reacting to very little footage hilarious. All kinds of jumping to conclusions based on snippets of stuff.

Say what you want. The message in both those games are so powerful, and the use of metaphors are very well thought-out. The themes are also reflected through the gameplay--something movies can't do.Puncture said:
But this is getting way off topic.
Puncture said:
why? it's not like he's comparing it to an actually high standard. And the writing of MM is good if not excellent, minimalist, to the point and gameplay driven, but with enough depth to keep you thinking. The way all games should be, stop trying to be shakespeare you are never going to be.
I wouldn't agree about Wind Waker as a whole, but that little monologue of Ganondorf at the end and his dialogue with the king were great.
Just saw the FMV trailer, and I only have two things to say:
1) The VA's just fine for Samus. Honestly, I don't get the complaints. (I also didn't watch the leaked vid.) From the 1 or so line Adam got, I wasn't too impressed, but it might work.
2) There's nothing even remotely Metroid about what I saw. She's not recognizingly Samus. I wouldn't have known Adam for Adam were it not for his line from Fusion. Etc.
*shrugs*
In Sakamoto we trust?

For point 2, it is a flash back. She looks much more like Samus when she's older. Though, I prefer the short haired version.

In Sakamoto I trust, but it depresses me that he didn't have the confidence to just go ahead and do a traditional 2D game on the Wii with his core team, which is what they excel at. What I've seen of Other M looks makes it look like he's trying to prove he can be contemporary, at the expense of some of the qualities that made previous efforts of his timeless.Mejilan said:

Well, you know, thats normal when he doesn't appear in the games.
Although if you read the Zero Mission manga its exactly the same design.
Also thats Samus young design also in the manga.

I really don't think Nintendo cares about any "backlash" NSMBW may have gotten from the enthusiast press.
Sorry, I was not trying to sound like an angry whiner or anything.KeeSomething said:
But for now we can only wait for the next GDC and see (hopefully) the game in action, and more story parts.
Samus looks pretty in the part when she has long hair (before she transforms) in that certain trailer. And I love how she walks. And the little Metroid

Everyone sounds incredible in a language you don't understand.
Unless you are Japanese and then you're just biased!!!!!
It might not be high standards for some people, though, just different interpretations of what the VA might be. Take Isaac's VA as an Assist Trophy in Brawl, for example...You can't have high standards for an AT, but whoever decided to make Isaac sound like a little girl should be kicked in the face.AceBandage said:
I do like the VA so far in M:OM. Samus' VA is actually pretty good, I don't know why anyone'd complain about it.

It was probably to fit the Japanese stereotype of young men sounding like girls, even if they're badass.

You can also watch the english version on the site. Just skip the intro movie and click on the circular 'MOVIE' icon (bottom right) and select one of the resolution settings on the right side.
The voice-acting seemed fine to me. (however, english isn't my native language)

Oh shit, this is going the Fire Emblem wii route, with multiple languages dubbing!
We will probably have an spanish dub. And if Fire Emblem was any indication, we will have a better dub than the american.
Although, right no I dont mind the english voice actors, but would love to hear Samus' and Adam's voices in spanish.
