DarkeSword Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Looked absolutely amazing. No doubt people will whine about plot and cinematics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 The #ocremix IRC channel just exploded, as if a million voices nerdgasmed and were suddenly silenced. Yes I know I used that joke before. This looks goddamn amazing, totally made up for the mediocre rest of the presentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 The gameplay looked amazing. The rest looked like final fantasy... and not in a good way. I hope they'll be subtle about the story and not spoodfeed ppl with cutscenes and long speeches and stuff. You know, not like the real Metroid games.

Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Well we already got Metroidvania, might as well get Metroid Gaiden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadofsky Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 At first, I didn't remember Team Ninja's logo, then I thought, oh, a brand new game, HOLY CRAP IT'S SAMUS!!!!! And, it looks to be part 3D, part 2D, that looks AMAZING!!!!! I'm sorry, I can't contain my fanboyism. Dreams DO COME TRUE!!! I think the whole, Nintendo doesn't care about core gamers thing can be laid to rest for a while now. I'm actually anxious to try Wii Sports Resort, starting to remind me of Pilotwings just a bit.

RedTigrr Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Even though I'm not much of a Metroid fan, this one I will be buying!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I don't know, I was kind of turned off when they started showing plastic toy Samus flinging things around. Still looked reasonably good, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BardicKnowledge Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Holy crap, that's amazing. Read it again, haha. No IGN link yet, but I'll add something to this first post soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calpis Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Well we already got Metroidvania, might as well get Metroid Gaiden. Yeah, I thought the same thing. It looks interesting at the least, but I didn't get too much of a Metroid vibe from that video, just Ninja Gaiden with Samus. I guess I'd need to see more gameplay to get a better idea of how it'll work. I just hope that they don't turn it into a game focused more on action, cheesy storyline, and killing enemies than exploration and atmosphere.

Calpis Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I don't know, lately I feel like Nintendo (although they're not the only company doing this) is going about making cost-effective games the wrong way. Instead of games with new and interesting engines, gameplay, or purposes, they rehash engines, get other companies to make sequels to their IPs, or make games that have no depth (Wii Sports/Music, anyone?), or any combination of the three.

PROTO·DOME Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I just hope that they don't turn it into a game focused more on action, cheesy storyline, and killing enemies than exploration and atmosphere. Exactly, sums up what went through my head watching that. Still. Epic awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Running around exploring makes for a boring trailer, I guess. Looks like it switches perspectives often, which can be neat. And as for that other blonde girl... I say she's Samus's sister, or a clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekofrog Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I just hope that they don't turn it into a game focused more on action, cheesy storyline, and killing enemies than exploration and atmosphere. I do. How many Metroid games do we have now where you're dropped somewhere all by yourself to explore giant planet/space ship/whatever with no real narrative to go by? Too many. The Metroid universe is giant; vast. There has to be more to it. There are so many STORIES to be explored, it's insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overflow Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Mother brain is back! Ridley also made an appearance, and some black guy Samus should remember. Also, I guess that this is a more narrative driven Metroid = Samus talks. What could this mean for the next Zelda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yangfeili Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 They've tried to expand the Metroid universe a bit in the last few games, and I personally don't think it's gone all that great. I still cringe at the character designs for the other hunters, who look like they were pulled from Rise of the Robots. I've always appreciated Metroid's "less is more" approach to story and setting, which result in the feeling of a more expansive world filled with mystery. The irony is that when you over-develop a setting (as in the typical JRPG), it actually ends up feeling smaller because you know everything there is to know, you've seen everything there is to see, you've visited every place you can visit.
