People make fun of Craig

I didn't jump on that bandwagon meme like everybody else did actually, so no, not all people.

"I'm human, and it's not in my nature".

I don't memeify games like many idiots do.

They don't speak for me.


Graphics whiners will always exist no matter what. This game looks fine.

Pretty sure it'll run/look better on release, and even if it doesn't, it already looks more than fine. Youtube compression does not help. Y'all new to gaming?

This will look great when you play it unless you're a graphics whore.

 

[PanzerAzel]

Yeah…..after the Ori games, the bar has been raised, and this doesn’t cut it presentation wise. This isn’t the 3DS, Ninty.

Glad for those interested, though.

Lol I've played pretty much all of the "metroidvania" indie games. Same old, nothing new. Ori is like Other M in terms of melodramatic shit eww. Gameplay is fantastic though.

 

[Nautilus]

it's because people want the best for metroid

Clearly you all dont agree on what you guys define as best, seeing the responses on this thread.

Plus, beggars cant be choosers.Metroid doesnt tipically sell well(reason why the franchise go on long hiatus every once in a while), and considering that Samus Returns was well received and that Nintendo entrusted MercurySteam with a new entry, I should think that they deserve the benefit of the doubt, even if you arent that much of a fan of the artstyle.

 

[nordique]

Metroid 5 boys
19 years for this

Fuck yes.

 

[Neff]

Not keen on the art style, I thought Samus Returns was a lot more visually interesting.

Whatever though man, it's a new 2D Metroid. I'm in.

 

[Esppiral]

With this game Metroid is Dead for me, the only ones I liked were the prime series on GameCube and Wii, I was expecting another one, not this low budget classic SNES style game.

 

[nkarafo]

I'm not feeling the new suit design or the whole art direction. And it looks like a budget Indy game on the WiiU.

 

[Synless]

What you want is Metroid Prime 4, which is announced and in development.

 

[Synless]

It’s a $40 game being sold for $60. Nintendo gonna Nintendo.

Oh, you got to play through it already. Please, fill us in with all your insight!

 

[sinnergy]

Very pleased ! Let’s go!

Prime 4 is still coming dog.

Different developers. Metroid Prime 4 is still coming but it will be a while.

 

[Ailynn]

I don't mind at all, and I'm planning on buying the special edition if I can. I've been waiting 19 years for this.

 

[MegaBustet]

This game looks great!! I'm really glad it's a true sequel to Fusion too.

 

[mxbison]

Honestly several indie Metroidvania's we've had in the last couple of years look WAY better than this.

 

[carlosrox]

There is nothing about this game that looks "budget".

Embarrassingly bad takes from some of y'all in here.

 

[Dr Bass]

How do you deduce this? Have you played it? Do you know what the budget was and how many they expect to sell? Is a game’s price tag derived from how cutting edge its graphics are?

what if this game is in reality an 80 dollar total experience sold for the bargain price of 60 dollars?

In other words, get this off my lawn.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

The way people react negatively to videogames is embarrassing sometimes.

People who are supposed to have a passion for these games and the work put into them; begging for new entries and then when we get them they just shit on them. Pretty immature in my book. There's such thing as constructive criticisms without resorting to ridiculous fake negative hyperbole.

"Looks like PS2.

Looks budget.

Craig.

Looks like an indie game."


What a crock. Seen this shit with Halo, Elden Ring, Metroid 5, and countless other games.

Drop the hyperbole and we're cool.

[carlosrox]

Thanks for proving my point.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Best game shown at E3. Looked amazing. And the best thing is that it's releasing so soon. Can't wait.

 

[Fart Knight]

Is that limited edition US only?

 

[carlosrox]

So fucking happy this sound came back.

That beeping shit gives me life. More of this please!

One of the best double downs in gaming history. Bringing the composer back for more was the right move.





Ps. As much as I love this, I still need Yamamoto on Prime 4. They made the right choice here, so let's hope they make the right choice with Prime 4.

 

[Killer8]

I watched the Treehouse live footage and it looked better there. I think the problem is the visuals don't hold up close up, and so cutting a trailer with many scenes like that makes it look worse than it is. The lighting of some areas is also particularly ugly from a color choice point of view.

Still not thrilled with how it looks, but hopefully they polish it more before release.

 

[Porcile]

I feel like there is a weird filter over everything in the trailer, but the Treehouse gameplay footage is a lot cleaner. Comparing the two though they seem to be exactly the same. The backgrounds and models certainly look very sharp in that footage. Overall I really like the style they are going for.

 

[Guilhermegrg]

The cutscenes looked like crap, low poly/weird lighting, choppy FPS. But the gameplay looked fine. As long as the gameplay is there, that's what really matters. But a bit more graphic polish wouldn't hurt.

 

[jdforge]

Genuinely thought this looked badass. Can’t wait to play it. It’s been a long time coming.

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

I am not gonna lie, it looked like a upscaled 3DS game

not. even. remotely.

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

Was Other M ever known as Metroid 5?

Other M wasn't a sequel to Metroid Fusion. I believe it plays in between Super Metroid and Fusion.

 

[CuNi]

not. even. remotely.

I challenge you.
Start the trailer, close your eyes and listen to the SFX.
If you don't think about a Mobile or Handheld game, then you might want to check your audio setup.

It's also nowhere near the graphic fidelity I'd expect from a switch only game. Look at Mario Odyssey where you have even open Maps and than at Dread.
It will be a fun to play game if they nail it like Samus Returns, but it cannot hold up to other Switch games out there and looks very rough.

Spoiler: Comparison

Spoiler: Comparison

You really think it makes sense to compare a 3D game to a 2D sidescroller? Even comparing the audio makes no sense. This is a 2D sidescrolling shooter designed to look, sound and play like a 2D game. You should be comparing it to NSMB U Deluxe not fucking Odyssey.

 

[Synless]

Other M wasn't a sequel to Metroid Fusion. I believe it plays in between Super Metroid and Fusion.

Correct, the ghost boss from the crashed ship in Super Metroid even follows you in an epic final showdown at the end of the game.

Metroid fans are the worst fans. Worse than FF fans.

People talked shit on Federation Force, Other M, and Samus Returns. All of them are good games. Now they're trashing Dread.

Spoiler: Comparison

You just proved my point. Dread looks infinitely better. And why should I compare an open-world 3D game to a 2.5D Metroid game? If anything you should compare to the other 2.5D games on Switch. Dread looks absolutely fine.

 

[Mister Wolf]

This is a day one for me. I just wish I could have Samus Returns as well so I can play them back to back.

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

Federation Force, Other M, and Samus Returns.

Even with my fair share of criticism for Other M's plotholes and logical inconsistencies (not to mention it can't be played with the Nunchuk) I still enjoyed all three of those games. Samus Returns is popular.

Same here. All of them were actually really good.

 

[Mister Wolf]

People keep saying indie metroidvanias look better. Which ones? Bloodstained sure as shit doesn't. You can also keep the pixel shit. I don't have any nostalgia for that era clouding my eyes. Same people that say KOF 13 looks better than the upcoming 15. Delusional.

 

[scydrex]

Well if the game is good fine but for $60 nope.

 

[Ulysses 31]

This and Skyward Sword making buy amiibo's again.

 

[Rat Rage]

Cinematic gamers / QTE lovers / Graphic whores/ : "not impressed"
Gameplay gamers / Metroid fans: "Day 0 !!!"

Count me IN

For the record: yes, I would've preferred a 1080p 2D pixel artstlye made my the original Metal Slug Team or by Wayforward, but fuck it! I'll take it! Day 0!

 

[IKSTUGA]

Looks fucking great to me, too many cynical people on the internet...

 

[Andyliini]

Is that limited edition US only?

It's confirmed for EU as well. Just preordered it myself.

 

[Okamiden]

Looks fucking great to me, too many cynical people on the internet...

Too many people on internet who don't know shit but still think their opinion is valuable.

 

[Kataploom]

Not that i have a Switch, or intend of ever getting one, but if i DID have a Switch, i'd be so pissed after this when everyone for years seems to be waiting for Metroid Prime 4.

I have a Switch and almost all my switch owner friends are absurdly hyped for this... It's main line metroid, you know? Prime is a spin-off, this one is the real deal

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm glad the creator still has control over his creation.

 

[chaseroni]

Okay after watching the entire treehouse (muted because I can't stand commentary over gameplay), I am totally in for this game.
It looks awesome. Way more interesting than that trailer led on.
Day 1

 

[twerkouting]

Sometimes I forget this forum is full of visual fetishists who'll go blind if said visuals' edges can't cut the atom and then thankfully, I find a Nintendo thread.

To everybody else losing their mind at how this is finally happening and how good this looks:

on top of that, the game doesn't even remotely look bad... It's a combination of hyperbole and overblown expectations.
