Metroid Prime felt like Super Metroid in 3D. You're off your rocker.
This will be Metroid Chronicles Gaiden as someone else has suggested imo. A flash way to tell Samus' story. Will it PLAY like a Metroid, or just live in that universe?
I personally don't care, but I loved Retros work, I'm sure this'll be awesome too.

I felt that prime 1 was incredibly faith to the metroid legacy. From the pacing, to the mode of story telling, to the minimal voices, to the enemy design and AI routines...it was all very traditional. Of course its first person, but that didnt stop it from being handled in a traditional manner...even the lock on made sense. People complained about it, but it made perfect sense because it allowed you to take out enemies VERY quickly, which is important since they just respawn in damn way and they arent the point of the game at all(you can kill enemies all day and not get ANYWHERE in metroid). Now prime 2 and 3(fusion included) started to deviate from the formula with the way their story was told, level designs(progression rather), and such. Still great games, but they did deviate a lot from what tradition metroid was about.
That said, this game looks outstanding so far. The story telling method already has put me off(with the terrible talking) but we dont now much about level progression and design. For all we know, this could very well have super metroid type of level design but with a different combat engine. It could even have a deep story-through-experience type of design like super metroid/prime. If fusion can be accepted, I dont see one reason this cant be accepted...especially since we have seen a raw, uncut clip of gameplay.

Shut the fuck up.
I dont like, it goes against everything that stands for the Metroid Franchises.
Well, the basic Plot ist really simple to figure out, too:
Samus does a time travel, went back to some of here best moments, we get to know somethings about here past and the woman at the end of the trailer is here mother:
THE END

The idea of a story-driven Team Ninja game scares me. The "plot" in Ninja Gaiden 1 & 2 were some of the most surreal, disjointed things I have ever suffered through.

The plot is done by Sakamoto, not Team Ninja.
Sakamoto is the director of 2D metroids.

Good story... for failing.
Samus mother was never a bounty hunter, and didnt know the chozos until they visited Samus home planet before Ridley ad the Space pirates killed Samus' family and all the citizens there.
Canon, read the zero mission manga.
Maybe is Samus' daughter the end of this game. But I only say this becasue I like the thing of Mother you said.
But that could releate to Mother Brain...
Screw the haters. God forbid we try to be open-minded to a new style. Because Metroid as a FPS was a complete disaster, right? Another Metroid in the same style would have been very tired. We've had 3 already.
I'm looking forward to this just as much as the new Galaxy. It looked slick, and has the potential to introduce a ton of new gameplay mechanics, as well as more fleshed out story and cutscenes.
If the game turns out to suck, just pretend it didn't exist in the Metroid Franchise. But I don't think it will suck at all. This is Metroid. Nintendo won't let it suck. If it could be transitioned to a FPA with spectacular results, then it can do the same here.

That's cool. I hope he's got enough control to make sure Team Ninja does his story justice.
I was at work all day and was so excited when a friend texted me about a new Metroid. Got home, watched the trailer, and was... underwhelmed. I'm tepid about it. I guess I'm looking forward to it? Maybe.bachikarn said:I guess there is 0% chance that a new 2DMetroid (Dread) is ever coming out
The trailer makes it look very action-based, very story driven. There is very little ambience, very little exploration immediately present. It could be there. I sure hope it is. But the trailer doesn't indicate that.Slurpy said:

Story and Metroid don't really go together.
Its always a very simplistic, sub pen and paper RPG sourcebook style stuff.

That's why I'm excited for it. Prime was slow, exploration-driven, and even at its best it put me to sleep unless I was in a boss fight. This is what I always pictured a 3D Metroid to be and I'm completely amazed that Nintendo had the guts to do that since Prime got so much critical acclaim despite being, honestly, just boring as balls.
This reminds me of Super Metroid in every way instead of just a cool adventure game with the Metroid name, and that's making me as giddy as a schoolboy bitch. Day one.

Holy Shit! That trailer was amazing! This is a great turn around since the Prime series was drifting further and further away from Metroid in terms of art direction. This looks like Super Metroid in 3D. Fucking amazing. And the gameplay looks like nothing that's ever been attempted before. The constant changes in camera angles keeps the action interesting. Really excited for this one.

Umm... I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate this is only a trailer? I mean, maybe the actual game really is just 2 minutes long.

I've seen the video and wondering what's your take on the graphic style. Is this game cel-shaded?
