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.

Trailer was beyond stupid. This will only appeal to fanfic writers. "Oh snap, did you see that hammer toss move, Samus is such a badass!"
-
That first screen looks great. The next two? Not so much.
-
ah theyre crying about this game over at gaf now, lol.
-
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?

Metroid Gaiden

Ah well. I was hoping for a old-school throwback. :'(

Exactly. Apparently it switches to first person sometimes.

Looks amazing. EmCeeGrammar annihilated.

apparently sakamoto is working on the game

or you could be like me and like both

Oh, and is this game in third person or what? If so, might be the first 3D Metroid I can actually play.

Plus, you like everything :P

Just saw from the press site, Sakamoto and Nintendo Planning & Development 1 are working on this game.

Yes Metroid always needed more story emphasis and combos.

Retro already ruined it. :smug
-
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.
-
Loved the Prime games but I'd rather see a new take after 3 and this looks hot.
I wonder what Retro is cooking up though

Apparently "no puzzles" an announced feature
::)
-
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.
-
this is like saying capcom is better than phoenix games
-
just saw the trailer and what the fuck
i mean, it's nice that metroid has been given to a developer more talented than retro, which is to say any developer besides retro, but that trailer couldn't have been farther from the point

I think Metroid is officialy dead to me after I pick up the trilogy.

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
-
awesome wowsome
prime is dead at LAST

i'll take samus may cry over any other abortive attempts to mishandle the franchise, frankly

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?
-
I just realized Samus is giving a DDT to one of the aliens in that screenshot. Holy shit this game is going to own. :drool
-
I like the Prime trilogy, but we got three games out of it and now it's time to move on to something else. I'm definitely hyped for this.
-
I just can't fathom how we're going to get past the oedipal issues by referring to the game as MOM all the time.
-
rip Prime :usacry

Or the fact that the subtitle is an anagram for Mother.

bad art
could be OK if they get some good gameplay out of it, but I have a feeling that the first person segments will be crap.
-
I just wonder what happened to Retro. :( This looks like such a step back from Metroid Prime.
-
Ninja Gaiden > boring first person "adventure" games.
-
All of you are fucking stupid. Except for drohne.
-
Hey, I hate this game too
-
I avoided the prime games like the plauge after being bored to death by the first. First interesting Metroid game that isn't on a handheld since Super Metroid.
Fake Team Ninja >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Retro
-
Well, be more vocal.
-
I'll try.
-
And yes I realize that wasn't aimed at me.
Prime games. :yuck

Retro are working on something else. Good for them.

lol @ nintendo treating metroid as if it were its ugly, redheaded step-child for the past 10 years
lol @ the fans' reactions after the announcement of each new metroid game

I think you're thinking of Sonic, and it's made by Sega.
-
Nope. Pretty sure it's Metroid, and it's usually made by a company not named Nintendo.

That's like saying Squeenix makes bubble bobble and konami makes bomberman.

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.
-
It sounds like from the 1Up interview (http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?pager.offset=0&cId=3174587&p=) that the handheld Metroid team is very much involved in this. yay
-
Ninja Gaiden > boring first person "adventure" games.
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.
-

It's actually been confirmed that R&D1, the creators of the original Metroid and Super Metroid, will be collaborating with Team Ninja on this title.
-
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.
-
I'm just happy it's in third person, that's all.

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.
