Post by: SantaC on June 02, 2009, 03:00:06 PM
Metroid Other M already looks a lot more interesting then the Prime games.

Looks like losing that dead weight of that massive ego did Team Ninja some good. Beating Retro is hardly a remarkable feat, though.

Can't see any of the vids here. Did they just shoehorn metroid into a Ninja Gaiden-esque style game, or is it something more promising?

What is there to like about this?  No puzzles, no atmosphere, not even really the same art style.  I don't mind if they change the perspective or the combat but this looks like shit.

well they don't show any puzzles or platforming or any other gameplay feature that's been really important in any Metroid game.

In fact, nobody would even think that this is a Metroid game if it wasn't for the few seconds that you see Samus' armor.  Even the style and the music is totally different for some reason.

Maybe it'll actually turn out decent but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Really? What I saw in the trailer:

-much faster paced Metroid. This is very welcome since the Prime games feels slow and sluggish
-the little I saw the 3rd person perspective looks great
-trailer music was very moody and nice
-sakamoto is involved in this project, i trust him

It's understandable why the Prime games turned a lot of people off but how the fuck does this look "moody".  Did you actually like any of the old Metroid games?

Retro is Nintendo. They are a wholly-owned subsidiary operating under the direct and complete control of Nintendo executives. At no time can they act independently of Nintendo or in any way move away from their parent-company. Retro is on the same level as EAD and Intelligent Systems.

Why?  I mean, why would you think that this game has anything similar to any Metroid game or any Ninja gaiden game?  You couldn't even tell what franchise this is if it wasn't for the 3 seconds you see her suit.

I can understand why there's a bunch of reasons to dislike Retro, but liking what little we've seen of this "intepretation" to prove that you hate them is really ass-backwards fanboy shit that is weird to see on this forum.  Especially since what we've seen so far look like an abortion.

Retro was pretty fucking awesome back with Prime 1. I love how the whiners still bitch and moan after all these years over the direction of the Prime series. Far worse then ninthings.

It's pretty bad now, but not even close to being as bad as how actual Nintendo fans were moaning and crying when it was first announced.

Yarr. I was very let down by the idea of Turok developers making metroid in first person. I ate crow on it though. Most of the Retro hate now is motivated by people with an agenda and little ability for actual game evaluation.

And with Team Ninja doing this one, I am again extremely doubtful of its outcome. I can blame my Retro hate on nobody really knowing what Retro was capable of. We know what Team Ninja does and it doesn't inspire one to think of Metroid.

Metroid series has always sort of held up all the pillars of game design and refined each one. Console Adventure games encompass many aspects of games and require skill in each area. All these elements of gaming have been diminishing lately and it has coincided with the rise of action titles and the disappearance of quality Adventure games. Metroid being outsourced to a team known for Action games and titties just makes me worry for the state of game quality.
