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.
