[VultureDude]

edit: i really REALLY REALLY need to learn how to read

tonight is not my night, *le sigh

 

[ant1532]

old, don't make the same mistake i did.

get out while you still can!

No its not, its a full walkthrough.

AWESOME thanks

 

[KINGMOKU]

Sweet, thanks for the heads up.

 

[Somnia]

Just finished watching the whole thing and I can see what Luke means... Expert definatly helps ,but it still slows down when you reach the edge of the screen and turn. Turning still takes way too long ,but I have faith Retro can speed it up before its release next year.

 

[Ganondorf>Link]

Wow, they certainly seem to be making Metroid a bit more brutal eh? :lol

 

[beelzebozo]

great stuff.

+5 cool points for you!

 

[yoopoo]

Second best looking next gen so far.

You try too hard.

 

[Polari]

Those controls look pretty decent. Make them the default already. Graphics look pretty nice too, definitely a big step above those of Echoes.

 

[SumGamer]

Very very pretty.

 

[PhoenixDark]

...

In terms of production values, graphics, music, style, etc etc etc...that blew me away. The turning gets on my nerves though. But after watching that entire video...holy shit.

 

[PolyGone]

Gamecube Turbo for the motherf*cking win, bitches

One thing that really stuck out to me was the music, there's a real sense of dread to it. The lighting, the number of enemies on screen in that room with the swarm, and the general atmosphere is just top notch. I can't wait to get my hands on this.

 

[puck1337]

Okay, that looks fantastic. The quality of the lighting seems like it might fix one of the series' big weak points to date.

 

[ant1532]

THAT ENDING SCENE WAS AWESOME!

 

[JB1981]

Never played Metroid before, but that game looks excellent. Is this a launch title?

 

[Somnia]

So I'm assuming the game begins with you on the ship... you escape and then the rest of the game is down on the planet by yourself and no more Federation. Then again I could be wrong and this could turn into Battlestar Metriod.

 

[effzee]

hopefully with the delay they can make this game all that it can be. i have no doubts with zelda since it had a production time similar to TOOT and now with MP3 retro can hopefully take thier time.

 

[yoopoo]

Yeah some of the music was most impressive, gave a feeling movie music.

 

[Zeed]

Awesome stuff. The scripted events blew me away, but I'm going to miss it at launch. =/

 

[kablooey]

I'm sure this will be great, but that demo looked too much like Halo and not enough like Metroid...

 

[Kangu]

great stuff.

+5 cool points for you!

what's with everyone handing out points today? y'all better make these redeemable or i smell a class action lawsuit.

It saddens me to see comments like this. :<

You haven't been reading much on MP3 have you?

Samus will not be the only bounty hunter in the game, go watch all the vids from E3.

 

[GDGF]

Oh. My. ****ing. God.

That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Best looking Wii game (to me anyway) bar none.

 

[Avutta1978]

Battlestar cinematics best for next gen.

 

[GaimeGuy]

I don't even notice the turning slow down.

Oh, and were those crawling things baby metroids or something?

 

[Polari]

Retro do have the most amazing production values. If anyone here hasn't played it for a while, load up the first Metroid Prime and play through the opening sequence. It's still jaw-dropping, even today.

 

[tehrik-e-insaaf]

Must buy for me... Next year purchasing a Wii will be awesome -> w/ a price drop & launch of Mario Galaxy + Zelda + Metroid + SSB... Will be very hard to resist

 

[Somnia]

Hm will have to read up a bit more I guess. I never played echoes so I don't know the Prime storyline further than Prime 1 /shrug

 

[Helznicht]

OK I got to get me one of these. Does any one know if that pistol grip attachment is real, this seems like it would be perfect for it.

 

[Avutta1978]

that was orgasmic

 

[SS4Gogita]

1:40 in shows a perfect example of how the controls still aren't quite there.

 

[Link648099]

I'm sorry, but Luke is too hardcore for his own good many times. I hope Metroid Prime 3 bitch slaps his face as a result.

 

[op_ivy]

it still locks on enemies for you?

 

[blame space]

Anybody else get the feeling that the person playing was genuinely immersed? I can't put my finger on it, but it just seemed extremely immersive, even moreso than the first two games (no doubt due to the controls). I can't wait to play this.

 

[Somnia]

You hit one of the triggers to lock on ,but you have to have the cursor over the enemy in order to do it.

 

[Vic]

I'm sure this will be great, but that demo looked too much like Halo and not enough like Metroid...

I agree :\

 

[Ark-AMN]

The controls look much better, and I did play it at E3 and was fine with it then too.

Though the guy who was playing the game kind of stank.

 

[BorkBork]

The sound and presentation is fantastic. Retro is crazy talented.

 

[JoDark]

Impressive.

I shudder to think what this could be on a system that was closer to the 360/PS3.

I also REALLY hope this is more Prime than Echos.

And with this control, bring on the online.

Finally, they need to solve for the edge of screen issue. If they can do that, this looks like the control method of choice.

 

[Shin Johnpv]

****ing sweet

 

[J2 Cool]

What were the flood doing in there?

Looked great. Love the look of control the player has. Nintendo may have truly done it again, and advanced the feeling you get playing a game. They did it with Mario 64 being the first true 3D game, with the joystick mailing it home. This video gives me a slight nostalgia of that event, though not as strong. But the alertness and the little interactive things like twisting in a key feels completely fresh. Something we haven't experienced yet. I mean, the gamble of the Wii is that many games can feel like a gimmick, but the reward is definitely there to give the player back control.

Oh, and visually quite impressive. Still unfortunately for fans of Metroid Prime, this is one series that probably would make full use of more system power. But then you gotta take the good with the bad.(or in this case, less good)

 

[Downhome]

As I watch that video, I find myself using both hands trying to see what it might be like to play the game using the Wii's controllers. :lol

 

[Rorschach]

...seemed a bit boring to me...

 

[ant1532]

...seemed a bit boring to me...

What? How?

 

[J2 Cool]

...seemed a bit boring to me...

Did you like Metroid Prime?

 

[Y2Kev]

:lol This thread is very sticky.

Looks nice.

 

[Scrow]

looked awesome.

whoever was playing was really annoying though, "put the fcuking power cell in the fcuking generator you dumbass. stop screwing around!"

 

[Ark-AMN]

Hah, same thing I was thinking, and also when he was shooting at regular walls instead of doors. I also wish he had taken time to look at more things rather than rush, but that part I understand as you do feel rushed at these events when you're playing.
