Support NeoGAF

[angelgs90]

Looks incredible.

 

[Lasha]

I just tried it for you. Its almost there, but not quite. The button mapping on Morph Ball and Missiles are switched if I remember correctly and there's no way to access the inventory in game from what I've found. The map is now bound to the pause button and both the Z button and R button are used the free aim.

shoot. That is a pity. So many games waste the excellent controller support of the switch.

 

[Thaedolus]

It’s hella well done. It’s been a while (uhh…maybe a decade??) since I played the original but I could immediately notice the upgrades.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Whats the resolution of this game

 

[Kusarigama]

Yep, Capcom and Bluepoint could learn a thing or two from this remaster.

Remaster and remake are different

Wut, they are fully redoing games lol

 

[UnNamed]

Another comparison.

It's the same.
Probably even downgraded.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Remaster and remake are different

Yeah, and?

Wut, they are fully redoing games lol

Yeah, while fucking up the art direction and atmosphere of the original games, which was my point.

Agree to disagree i guess

 

[Gorgyles]

I agree somewhat about the atmosphere
Some things I don't like at all

-The new recharge animation after a save doesn't look as cool
-The impact of seeing the sun over the wall in Chozo Ruins is gone
-Generally the Samus suits suffer color wise

But overwhelmingly this looks great.
I need to start giffing the comparison.

 

[Gorgyles]

I just dont care for the extra flourishes.
It's mostly fine, but the fat laser beams and the blue rectangle lights look cheap.






Also the rain on the visor effect isn't as striking here.

 

[Fart Knight]

They clearly made other design decisions.

 

[March Climber]

Nah, this one actually seems to respect the original game's art direction.

Not faithful to the game it's remastering tho.

 

[TintoConCasera]

It's just a door, I can forgive that.

 

[Rudius]

Oh, this is one of those Bluepoint-esque remasters. Nice.

It is between a remaster and a remake, but closer to a remaster.

 

[analog_future]

There's a massive difference here, wow. Very impressive.

 

[Kacho]

Damn this looks incredible. I was expecting a quick and dirty port

 

[Davesky]

I'll stick to the original on a crt with a GC controller. The way it's meant to be played.

Just don’t bring a girl over.

 

[peronmls]

Model is flat and has no shine to the suit anymore

 

[Trogdor1123]

I want this pretty bad… hard time justifying buying it right now with my new job eating up so many hours. Turned on my ps5 once in 2 weeks

 

[peronmls]

reflections on the suit are not has good as the wii version. Really bad art style changes. Transparencies are kinda ruined now and are solid.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

Looks gorgeous. Now put it on a stronger console.

My man, it sounds like you deserve treating yourself to a nice Metroid game.

 

[Kataploom]

Comparison of the doors.

This is probably an accessibility decision rather than just pure graphical juice imo

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Yeah they changed quite a bit and not for the better. I would still like to try it to see how terrible it controls with shitty joy-cons but I'd rather buy it physical so I can sell it back.

I haven't seen any red flags myself because I didn't play the original but even the shitty joycons with twin stick controllers must be a whole dimension better than original's.

But I get it, the sole reason I mostly prefer upressed ports at 60 fps instead of "graphically improved" remasters is WWHD, that game ruined the day sky lighting completely.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Decent for a remaster but I still want way more out of MP4, which makes me really hope it's a new hardware showcase. 8 year old underclocked TX1 really holding things back now.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Remasters aren’t a bad thing.

The game wasn't designed to use dual sticks even though the GC controller had dual sticks.

The original also ran at 60fps.

 

[Tazzu]

Nintendo continues to innovate!

IDC, I just hated how it played on GC and that's the sole reason why I never got into it

 

[drotahorror]

What in tf kind of comment is this?

I'm comparing a major environmental element to show the upgrade in geometry and textures

I was thinking it was a completely different scene.

Looks like they put quite a bit of effort into this.

 

[SLB1904]

[NeoIkaruGAF]

The prime series is shit compared to the 2d games.. so .. .

[Knightime_X]

Whats the resolution of this game

900p 60fps Docked

 

[RaySoft]

This is closer to a remake than a simple remaster though..

 

[Moses85]

 

[jonnyXx]

The real comparison I want to see is Remaster vs 4K dolphin.

4k dolphin vs 4k yuzu/ryujinx would be a better comparison.

 

[Tg89]

game looks great, even better on the TV/in handheld.

 

[Fart Knight]

A remakester

 

[ADiTAR]

It's weird, it feels exactly like how I remembered it, but it's clear so much work was done. Everything looks so good, it gives you that same awe feeling when you enter a room. I remember just stopping in every room to admire the amount of work that was done.

 

[Kataploom]

A remakester

If you told me that's how any of the two words are said in German, I'd believe you

 

[rodrigolfp]

Dolphin + wiimote still >>>>>>>>>>>>>. Big Pass...

edit: apparently we can use wiimote on Yuzu/Ryujinx, so no pass...

 

[Ecotic]

This is a pretty fascinating remaster. It reminds me of the Resident Evil 4 HD project, in that the idea was to perfectly recreate it in HD. But here there's a thin layer of real differences.

 

[jonnyXx]

Comparison of the doors.

Door shields were also a lot more visible in Metroid Prime 2&3. This new one is more in-line with those.
Guess he wants it to more closely resemble his work but to go as far as to say it has to be fixed is a bit much.

MP2

MP3

MP Remaster

 

[Fart Knight]

3 had some real ugly doors

 

[93xfan]

It is between a remaster and a remake, but closer to a remaster.

A remaster to me is just taking a game and giving it higher resolution, less dithered shadows, higher Anisotropic Filtering for textures, etc.

A remake is a game that is at least remade visually, but can be rebuilt and have better controls (see the Spyro Trilogy Remakes).

A reimagining is something like Resident Evil Remake or Resident Evil 2 Remake.

That’s how I personally see the classifications. So to me, this is a remake.

Btw, loving most of the changes. Overall it’s a win for me!

 

[93xfan]

A remakester

That’s what any person who worked on this project is called.

 

[Gloomnivore]

Surely they have to do F-Zero GX now. And by they I mean Nintendo, not Sega or whoever was responsible for ruining Super Monkey Ball and Sonic Colors.
