New Metroid: Other M Gameplay Trailer

Finally. :P

So seeing as the game might focus on Samus' maternal instincts I thought the entire trailer was pretty interesting. While also showing awesome features the game has it's interesting to open and close with basically the same scene.

It's like implying Samus is rushing through all that trouble just to take out that one inconspicuous monster. Going with the maternal theme it's as if Samus went through all that just to protect the GF troops. I sort of like this idea but I would hate to have the GF troops just be bumbling idiots that Samus would have to protect.

I'm probably over-analyzing so on a lighter note I really love the pixel distortion effect and it's really nice "hint".
 
Seems like the game falls to pieces graphically when the camera changes perspectives.

What? You're taking a Wii game that's being blown up to HD resolution and is showing a shot of a very large area. It looks fine for what it is, except for the jaggies and picture quality.


In other news, at least the gameplay seems fun. The voice acting is troublesome enough, so it's good that there's one thing to look forward to.

They have animated Samus really fucking well. I love the way she moves when using the 'sense movement' and when she hangs in the grapplebeam.

The game looks really nice :D

It looked fine in all other perspectives but that one. Even so, it looks better in motion than in that pic.


Not sure if it's my type of game, so I probably won't get it (though brothers might want it). Looks very good though.

I made a comment earlier in the year about how much I loved FF XIII, and how I didn't think any game would pass it for my personal game of the year. Even Mario didn't change me on that and I loved Galaxy 2.

I say all this because Other M looks amazing to me, and now I am starting to wonder if XIII will be able to hold out as the game I loved most from this year.

Can't freaking wait.

Fucking excellent sense of speed and animations in this game, I swear. :o

Shinespark was amazing looking.

Yeah it seems the really put alot of work into the animation and sense of speed. I cant wait to be shinesparking in 3D.

Yay! A Metroid game I not only will enjoy playing, but will actually be able to play! :lol

Huh?

Anyway one thing I loved about the trailer was Samus's visor, it seemed like a really excellent way of showing Samus getting serious with out having her say some stupid one liner.

Feels weird for the game to explicitly acknowledge the shinespark. They've never done that in another other Metroid game, have they?

What do you mean? Having it as a selected abliity?

Metroid Fusion. There was a sequence break-ish thing you could do (involving essentially figuring out how to maintain a Shinespark for a very long time by using a level design quirk) and you get an Easter Egg where your ship's AI congratulates you for "that trick with the Shinespark."

How do you mean? Because if you want to get 100% in the game it's sometimes necessary to shinespark to get through barriers. And it's been depicted through art tons of time.
 
There plays a German Other M commercial before the video, that has a better narrator than the game itself. :lol
The gameplay looks really good, though.

Will Metriod Other M have music as good as Metriod Fusion/Super Smash Bros Brawl
"Sector 1"/ God damn Sector 1 is amazing please let the music in this game be just as good. I also love how samus has some of Ryu Hyabusa's speed and agility and. This is a truse Hardcore Nintendo game. D-Rockets Cutscenesnare gorgous:D :D

My only worry with the game is the music. Everything I've heard sounds good so far but I just get the feeling that the music won't quite live up.
 
Awesome video. It looks like we'll see the return of another classic Metroid move. Zip to 1:05 and see Samus let out six bombs at once after charging up her blaster.
 
the fact that this game will feature a combat system like that and STILL manage to have "metroid" exploration is...... it's so good :'(
 
MOST LIKELY GOTY!

HYPE!

Number one reason I really don't care for FP-exclusive games? FP games really only succeed in making nauseous after playing them for a while. That's the main reason I've sat out on the entire Prime trilogy. Trying to play the first Prime, quite literally, made me ill.

Since in this game, it seems FP is used much more sparingly (and you seemingly have to stay still while using it), I probably won't have as many, if any problems. :lol

Metriod series has aways had good music. Sector 1 and Parasite queen from prime 1 god damn Nintendo can bring it with the music sometimes. The background music sound alright with that "ohhhhh woooo ohhh wooooo" softly in the background it sound intense.

Samus remind alot of Ryu Hyabusa in NG 2 especially just ravaging these monsters poor vaginas, she just destroying the enimies with grace and agility too:D

Oh yeah I've always loved Metroid music. I'm just worried since they have a new guy doing the music now that it won't be quite as good.
 
I refuse to watch the trailer since I'm on a media blackout, but only 43 replies for a brand spanking new trailer for a Metroid game? For shame GAF.

I'm hoping it's because the rest of you are like me and don't want to be spoiled.

A lot of hype died because of story paranoia but this trailer but me in the conductors seat on the hype train.

There's not much new in the trailer, and we have pretty much discussed everything Metroid in the last row of theads anyway.
