Nintendo neglected Metroid because it didn't sell as well as the other big hitters, despite its devoted following. Zelda is a system seller, but Metroid isn't. You not buying it will just show Nintendo that they were right in not supporting Metroid.

Do I have to explain why Mercury Steam made bad games recently in every thread?

MS did LOS 1, it's a great game nobody likes because muh castlevania, not muh lore.

MOF and LOS2 are "shit" because they had a lot of internal problems at the time. Konami probably let them do their games freely because LOS1 had good reviews. The producer/director (can't remember) was a pain in the ass and it's because of him that the sequels are mediocre at best. The guy fucked what would have been pretty projects, just like what Dead Space 3 should have been. MOF and LOS are acceptable in quality but very forgettable and flawed as fuck.

Mercurysteam is full of talented artists and passionate about video games. Nintendo knows that Metroid fans want a good for a decade now and they can't fuck this up this time. I'm sure that Nintendo watched over them just like they did with the team behind Luigi's Mansion 2. You can already see in the demo that it has nothing to do with MOF in terms of quality...

But if you just want to troll the game because "huurrr Mercury steam did bad games I haven't played" do it guys.

The only new iterations of nintendo games that had worse gameplay than their predecessors that i can think of are Smash bros and 3D mario games. What else did they overcasualize? Or are you implying that BotW has worse gameplay than Horizon?
>paid online
yes, that sucks. it is less than 30 dollars per year, iirc 25 or 20. But it shouldn't be there in the first place. Hopefully this means that they improved the online experience though.

The game looks great to me, the only thing I dislike are the 3D visuals, I love me my pure 2D games as opposed to 2.5D shit. I am worried about 1 thing though, you have more precision with aiming which is fine but so far I haven't seen gameplay of Samus moving and being able to aim at an angle to shoot, maybe I've missed it but the Demonstration kept having her stand still to aim & shoot.

I don't see why people are shitting this hard on it though, I can understand being worried due to the team that's working on it but being this negative toward it is way too strong of a response to it, it's not Other M or Federation Force so far for sure and Prime 4 is coming also so everyone is getting what they want. By the way, I love AM2R but it was practically finished, we only needed those updates at this point but it was a full game still at the end of the day.

Nintendo is fucking weird. They let Intelligent Systems churn out 12 fucking FE games and as the series started to decline they gave them the lowest fucking number of 250K sales for the next game or they would dump FE. Why did they let FE get away with such low expectations after having MULTIPLE games fail to reach sales projections yet the Metroid series was doing 4-5x as much as that and it was dormant for 7 fucking years?

Fire Emblem is probably pretty cheap to produce.
And one thing that people often forget is that Nintendo doesn't have an unlimited amount of development teams and that a lot of times they only make games if they have someone high up who is interested in making them. Like we get a ton of Kirby games because Sakurai likes them, but there's nobody at Nintendo who was interested in bringing back Metroid. Pretty sure Sakamoto literally said he didn't want to make another Metroid game and would rather continue making Tomodachi Life.

It explains the weird scripted sequences shown in the trailer and the gameplay presentation. It's a mediocre developer and they're going to make a mediocre Metroid.

pretty much this

if a franchise that hasn't received good games for years finally gets some but their fans aren't willing to buy them because "it's made by a shit company" then nintendo will see the no buy = no interest and decide to kill the franchise once again


if you are a metroid fan and don't want to see the series dye then buy samus returns,no it doesn't matter that is made by a shitty company,it doesn't matter that the game cost 40 dollars while a fan game was free,it doesn't matter that it's on 3ds,just buy for the sake of seeing the metroid franchise not die yet again

Their first Castlevania game was actually well received by basically everyone but Castlevania fans who complained that it wasn't a Castlevania game.
Which it wasn't, but that's not relevant to the quality of that game or this Metroid game, especially considering this game looks a LOT like a Metroid game.

As an actual Sonic fag I am pretty hyped for Mania and Forces though I do totally understand the hate. They both rely heavily on nostalgia pandering, (most of which isn't even really good nostalgia pandering at that) and it make Sonic Team look like they still aren't confident enough to sell a game on it's own merits, which is a big problem. I just hope that if these games sell well and get enough praise that Sonic Team will become confident enough not to use Green Hill for the millionth fucking time.

if this would have been a bigger franchise like mario or zelda it would have been okay,but it's not okay for metroid

metroid can't afford the "speak with your wallet" luxury right now,it's just got back from the dead and as of right now even the smallest failure can mean another hiatus

if metroid was a more succesful franchise to the point where you are 100% sure that even if a game ends up being shit they will still keep making more then it would have been ok to not buy samus returns

but metroid doesn't have that type of secuirty,or at least not yet

>bitch that you have to pay for a M2 remake instead of getting a fan made remake

This is why we can't have nice things! People seriously, BUY THIS GAME. It's not like you can't return it or sell it if it turns out bad. If you don't buy this game why don't you just go to Nintendo twitter and say "I don't want Metroid" cause it's pretty much the same thing! Pirates can claim they aren't hurting gaming all they want but that's not true. Sales matter. I'm sorry, this pisses me off. We are finally getting what we want and to see people even thinking of pirating this just makes me upset.

Fuck off, MS is a good studio. They had shit director after LoS1 which is why LoS2 in particular was all over the fucking place.

Only LoS2 was bad because of internal problems with the director. Mirror of Fate was fine. Nothing special, but not bad either. LoS1 was great. The only two complaints you see about it is that "it isn't CastleVania" or "It's just a God of War ripoff."

I never said it wasn't a God of War ripoff. Just that it's one of the two complaints you ever see about it. But at least it copied a decent series, and did it well. As for not feeling like CastleVania, that's subjective. I liked their version of the story. It was a nice change (minus just about everything in LoS2). I don't want the series to continue like that, but for a short run it was good.

>>380600282
> But at least it copied a decent series, and did it well.
No it didn't. That's the problem. GoW is only as successful as it is because it's actually a competent action game. Lords of Shadow is not, it's shallow and tedious with shitty level design.
> As for not feeling like CastleVania, that's subjective.
No, it's objective, given how it has fucking nothing to do with anything that makes Castlevania Castlevania, in classic or metroidvania forms.
>>
>>380599524
>>380599891
Is it really that surprising to see a game from a series that's predominately 2d not feel exactly the same? Though? When has a 3D game ever felt like the 2D counterpart?
>>
I liked the parry move from what we saw in the trailer. Just hope it feels good as a mechanic and that the game itself is good while also having exploration be a main aspect of the game.
>>
>>380600860
Metroid Prime felt like the 2D ones in that you were backtracking with more abilities to uncover secrets and new zones, etc....Lord of Shadows doesn't compare to earlier Castlevanias like MP does to 2D metroid.
>>
>>380600698
Not him, but even saying that, that complaint likely won't be valid for Samus Returns at all, as that actually looks like a Metroid game.
>>
I really liked Lords of shadow 1 AND 2(yes i'm the one) but mirror of fate is shit, that's for certain.

As for samus returns, i'm not too worried, Nintendo always have strong supervision over their IPs and i doubt they will let Mercury steam do total shit.

Did you miss the half hour of gameplay footage they showed immediately following the reveal trailer?
>What about it looks so mediocre?
The art style is ass for one, environments are heavy on bloom and colour filters rather than unique tilesets, and platforms being modelled instead of part of a tileset makes the breakable blocks stick out like a sore thumb, because those are just square tiles next to big 3D platforms. The melee counter looks horrendously overpowered, stunning standard enemies for at least 4 seconds (the longest we saw a stun last before the monster was killed), and resulting in equally long stuns along with the shitty cinematic camera in boss fights (which we saw in the alpha and zeta fights). In general it looks far too easy.
The other main issue is a point of comparison with AM2R, which looks far better visually, but also had far better boss fights. In the demo of Samus Returns we see boss fights with Arachnus, Alpha Metroids, and it ends with the Zeta Metroid. All of those had significantly better AI in AM2R and faster battles, along with AM2R constantly giving you interesting arenas to change up the otherwise dull Alpha fights, which SR didn't do. That Nintendo are failing to provide a better product than what some random Mexican made out of his basement is fucking embarrassing.

Keep in mind, Samus Returns is still being overseen by Nintendo. The reason why Retro's Nintendo games have been so great is not because Retro is some incredible developer, it's because they had Nintendo's guidance. Look at the dumpsterfire that is ReCore for proof of that. Anyone worried about what developer is handling the new Metroid games needs to chill; they're in perfectly capable hands.

Pirates aren't criminals.

The entire notion that something that can be copied for FREE with no effort or work value associated with it and distributed being WRONG is completely silliness. It's only "criminal" because it effects the pockets of rich people.

Do you want to be convicted and go to jail for growing your own tomatoes from the seeds you got?

How about that recipe for a sandwich you followed! You copied something already existing!

It's ludicrous. Next you'll want to take down libraries and tap water! Let's not forget education, you don't have any write to those ideas! You didn't make them or pay for them! You can't teach others either, you don't have the right!!!

>>380605342

I pointed out the map loops and feeds into itself with a much better flow than "go here now go here now go back the way you came". There are too many instances in Metroid 2 where you go one direction and then just have to walk backwards once you're done, and AM2R just keeps that the same. Whereas if you'll watch the treehouse demo SR has the more modern (as of Super Metroid) Metroid hallmark of having the attainment of new skills and powers lead into the opening of new paths and more convenient and quicker traversal

And it's not just the melee counter - there's also the Aieon system which rewards the player playing well and defeating enemies. AM2R meanwhile is loyal to a dated and clunky combat system and doesn't offer anything new. I'd even suggest it's inferior to Zero Mission and Fusion.

And I'm sorry, but what is wrong with the melee counter? It's simple, but new combat systems should be exactly that - intuitive and easy to understand. This is not a fighting game. You should not have to input elaborate combos for a Metroid game of all things.

There's a difference between remaking a game with the exact same control schemes (same pad) with only updated graphics

and

remaking a flawed 2D game that was released on a gameboy with only 3 buttons and a D-pad, which has already shown new moves, and upgraded boss battles.

Sony has shown a dumb upgrade of Crash, while Metroid 2 was unsalvageable as it was.

What did you want? A new handheld called the MDS, Metroid DS made specifically with high specs just for the four new Metroid announced at E3? Two 2d and 23d? Metroid fans would bitch about having to pay for the console and the games on it kek. It's like every copy of Metroid has to come with a free blowjob from Samus herself and you guy would still bitch that "Nintendo isn't treating the IP with respect"

AM2R didn't die though, it's a finished product that you can still get if you want to play it.

I'm not a fan of the way Samus Returns looks like (I think 2D Metroid should stay fully 2D, based entirely on spritework) but all in all you could say that it's shaping up to be a solid Metroid title that looks and plays like the older ones.

If this shit sells, and there's no reason to think it won't, then the brand will be fully revived, considering you also get Prime 4. Just say you want a fucking Metroid thread instead of starting with bait, holy shit.

What are you talking about? AM2R has the same combat as zero mission, and it has more than fusion because fusion didn't have shooting from ledges. There's nothing dated about all 3 of them.

The last metroid with dated controls was super, with no ledge grabbing, slow and floaty jumps, and a weapon paging system instead of holding a shoulder for missiles.

The x-ray on steroids that reveals the map looks bad. Seems like a way to skip good level design that drops hints on where to bomb walls. Then again without it they would probably put less secret passages in the game and make them less important.

The Aeon abilities require energy so it's not like you can just used them whenever you want and they're really just an optional thing to help along people who get bored with these kinds of games, so you don't have to use them.

Though hopefully the game itself is difficult and the map is designed in a way that may even require someone who is experienced with Metroid games to use them. It really bothers me when a game gives you a lot of things to help you, but it's so easy that you never have to use them.

Isnt the series losing sales again though? I heard Echoes didnt do as well as Fates and even Awakening. Regardless what you said about Metroid in Japan is accurate, it's kinda the same way with Star Fox, but even that performs like shit in the US and EU.
Neither 64 3D or Zero did well at all and those were the "good" games purefags kept holding onto
I do believe though that Star Fox going all out with the girls would help it in Japan, for the reason you mentioned. You got Krystal and Katt, but if you add Miyu and Fay, plus Amanda and Lucy, then you got six girls to widen the range.

Sure worked for Solatorobo.

You can cry about MercurySteam all you want, but the fact of the matter is that Nintendo is hounding their ass on this game. And seeing as it's a remake of a 2D game, and not a brand new 3D one, we won't have to worry about the same bullshit we suffered through for Other M and Fed Force.

The real question is, who the fuck is working on Prime 4? If it's not Retro, and it's being helmed by the same guy who produced Sticker Star, (yes, I know he did the original trilogy), then we need to be worried.

Every single thing they showed in the livestream just screams of casualization, including everything involving Aeion Energy. Metroid 2 was pretty casual in its own right, but come on.

Let me guess, this is good becuase "challenge and hidden secrets reinforce rape culture and are problematic", right?

Super Metroid is casual as fuck and is the easiest 2d metroid game. Only the bosses are hard enough if you never discovered item cancel and you flip through all your items to x-ray scope just to get back to beam.

That said I hope there's a hard mode on your first playthrough and it really cuts back your aeon or whatever the fuck its called. Also reducing the window for the melee parry would be a good idea.
>>
>>380634927
>>380634943

Are you guys even watching the live stream right now? Samus is fighting a gamma metroid, and the thing is slow as hell. It barely even attacks you. It drops maybe a projectile here and there, and then VERY SLOWLY telegraphs that it's gonna attack. Even if you don't take advantage of the melee counter which rips out a chunk of its health, it doesn't even bother turning around to attack you again. It just goes back to floating around and being useless. This is considered "good gameplay".

I want the casuals to leave.

>If it's not Retro, and it's being helmed by the same guy who produced Sticker Star, (yes, I know he did the original trilogy), then we need to be worried.
Tanabe tends to produce games worked on by Nintendo with 3rd party partners, but he has his most influence on Metroid Prime. Additionally, I don't feel like Nintendo are taking this announcement lightly. Even in that short press release, they stressed the return of isolation and even acknowledged how the first game was the best received of the trilogy.

I also want to give this new team the benefit of the doubt. Retro was once the "talented team of new developers" that was getting handed Metroid after a long console hiatus, and they came from a pretty shitty background. Yet they ended up making one of best received games in the series.

Having new people working on the series can make it feel fresh and help pick out the problems that Retro brought up in further installments. Finally, I'm kind of glad retro is working on something else. I don't want Metroid to tie retro down nor would I like for Nintendo to shackle Metroid games to the availability of retro. This seems like a good compromise.

An easy game is still a game that requires 99% input from the player.

The metroid fights were the weakest part of AM2R

You either hit trade with them the whole fight because they never give you a good shot or you happen to find or google the one exploit that crushes them with no effort

I'd rather just have predictability with clear phases and you rehearse until you get it down. If you design a boss this way and it's too easy, that means it's too slow. It doesn't mean it needs to be unfair or annoying.

What's the difference? Either way the gameplay isn't really the focus of both of them. They just wanna show off the pretty cinematics and epic flashy action moves. Asking any thought from the player in question is not their first intention.

At the least it's a very major facet. It's more important than story, graphics, and music. It directly impacts your game experience.

>>380639307

If you were complaining about an enemy glitching out or being unkillable for no reason, then that would be bad game design, but the complaint you brought up was "they don't expose their weak point enough". That's not bad game design, it just means you can't insta-kill them.

Not really no, especially in a series like this where exploration is the focus of the game.

This is all a matter of degree. I'm not talking about free shots here. I'm just talking about some structured way(s) you're supposed to kill the metroids with. Instead they just derp into you constantly with a shit hitbox thats blocked for no reason half the time and you just deal with it until they die.

It's a game made by a dude and boss design is very hard and very iterative, it takes a lot of time. It's not surprising or shameful that its shit.

Because exploration and the variety of difficulty you're asking for don't mix all it does is create a game that's tedious to get through.

Except it released. Everybody who cared about it acquired and enjoyed it. Ninty may be jewish but they deleted it all too late.

Also the trailer looked pretty fine to me. Hell even the counter has the function of preventing the common unavoidable rammings in tight corridors and can't be spammed. So far so good.

Skillful platforming and outsmarting of enemy bogeys is far from "tedious". If anything that would describe a hallway simulator where there's nothing remotely threatening.

You literally have no argument. Every enemy Metroid can be beaten if you've got a brain, and nothing about their AI screams derpy. I'd rather take that over slow lumbering retard enemy #4576 with epic contextual not!QTE to make fighting it "cinematic".

Of course they can be beaten. I'm talking about beaten with little to no damage in a way that's actually fair to the boss, by that I mean not a piss easy exploit.

>I'd rather take that over slow lumbering retard enemy #4576 with epic contextual not!QTE to make fighting it "cinematic".

No matter how slow the bosses are and how stupid the cinematics are in samus returns, it will never make AM2R's bosses good.

>I'm talking about beaten with little to no damage in a way that's actually fair to the boss, by that I mean not a piss easy exploit.
but they can all be beaten that way. All it requires is learning its movement patterns, taking advantage of the environment, and being stealthy in how you move. You don't need to exploit glitches or bugs just to do a no-damage run, it's just not super-casual, so it takes work to do.

>it will never make AM2R's bosses good.
At the very most, this only applies to Metroid bosses, and only gamma metroids at that. You wanna tell me how this applies to Torizo, The Tester, the Ancient Guardian, Serris, Omega Metroids, and etc? Or did you assume thta you only fought Metroids in this game?

>>380643301
>Skillful platforming and outsmarting of enemy bogeys is far from "tedious".
In a linear setting? No it wouldn't be tedious.
That can't be said for Metroid 2 and this remake if they retain that aspect. The game required the player to go up and down the map constantly to search for Metroids as well as your various abilities, if I remember right you could only hold one beam effect at a time. Do you really think the introduction of complex platforming and enemy placement wouldn't negatively impact such a game?
With that said Metroid has never been a complex game to begin with outside of certain optional upgrades like the one in fusion that required several shinesparks to maintain a speed boost.

>If anything that would describe a hallway simulator where there's nothing remotely threatening.
Both are tedious for two completely different reasons.
What the aim should be is a balance between the two.
>>
>>380635069
There was a DBZ game that did that. They got DMCA'd, released it as Original Do Not Steal the Fighters, then a few days after release "someone" modded the game and swapped all the new characters back to their old models.

>Do you really think the introduction of complex platforming and enemy placement wouldn't negatively impact such a game?
I don't see why it would. It requires a competent team though.

>With that said Metroid has never been a complex game to begin with outside of certain optional upgrades like the one in fusion that required several shinesparks to maintain a speed boost.
That's silly. We can't improve upon the formula? Am2R once again has this in spades with at least 10 upgrades requiring expert level maneuvers, one of which literally requires upwards of 5 saved spinesparks combined with bomb jumping, a clever timed powerbomb eruption, and bunnyhopping over quick disappearing blocks.
>>
>>380632576
No he's right, Metroid Dread was a sequel to Metroid Fusion, it was never cancelled but put on hold. Going by Sakamoto's three games, Fusion, Zero Mission, and Samus Returns the next game will take place on a Chozo planet with a GF facility built within the planet.

Metroid Other M would have probably kicked ass had Itagaki still been around, I can tell you right now had he been involved none of the "authorization" shit with Adam would be an issue because he don't play like that

Yeah I shouldn't have said bosses. Those were fine. Aside from the extra shit boss in the ghost ship. I never actually learned the Omega fight because they let you hide in morphball inbetween shooting it.

It's all or 2/3 of the flying forms of metroid I'm talking about. I don't remember.

>I don't see why it would.
Because you're trekking repeatedly through these areas maybe?
Like I said in a linear setting it would be fine because you would have to do it once or twice.
In a setting like Metroid two you'll be doing it several times over.
This shouldn't be a hard thought to wrap your head around, especially if you've played Metroid 2.
You have played it right?

>Am2R once again has this in spades with at least 10 upgrades requiring expert level maneuvers
And were they mandatory?
If not then that's exactly what's in Metroid games the complexity you're looking for is reserved for 100% runs.

>one of which literally requires upwards of 5 saved spinesparks combined with bomb jumping, a clever timed powerbomb eruption, and bunnyhopping over quick disappearing blocks.
And you really don't see the problem with this kind of platforming being within the main game.

That's what cleverly placed shortcuts are for.

It would teach the audience to get good, or leave. Either way it doesn't matter. If they want a casual game that holds their hand, they can go play Call of Duty.

F-zero gx is one of the best racers ever made. I sincerely doubt anyone could make it better. I'd rather a port of it rather than a new one, so i'm not clamoring for another like i was Metroid.

That's how I'll feel once Prime 4 and Metroid 2 come out. If they're good, I'll be satisfied with the series ending. Just understand, I didn't want the series to die on THE BABY.

would you be excited if F-Zero GX was a dating visual novel where you couldn't even hook up with Captain Falcon, and you had to listen to every character cry and have angsty feelings like this was an episode of Steven Universe?

>>380649068

Which would defeat the purpose of your platforming because there would have to be an accessible entrance and exit on both ends.

>It would teach the audience to get good, or leave.
Which is an incredibly stupid way of doing things because it alienates a lot of potential players. And again, that's not what Metroid is about.

Do you just think that games should be difficult for the sake of being difficult?

>Which would defeat the purpose of your platforming because there would have to be an accessible entrance and exit on both ends.
OR, you make the shortcut one sided, and either make the expert platforming section more of a one time dealie (like the speed booster room from super metroid) or you give me enough incentive to want to return, like an ominous door or rock formation that catches my eye. Gamasutra wrote a whole article on this.

>Which is an incredibly stupid way of doing things because it alienates a lot of potential players.
What a pity, the children who play generic shooters and movie games wouldn't like Metroid. I don't know how i'll cope.

>Do you just think that games should be difficult for the sake of being difficult?
If it's not just artificial difficulty, like an enemy being a damage sponge, or insta kill spikes everywhere, then yes, it should be difficult just for the sake of it, provided there's a reward that makes it worthwhile, and the game is fun enough to warrant the effort.

don't forget that Metroid went on a 10 year hiatus because they tried to "broaden the demographic". First with movie trash, then with online coop multiplayer. So alienating people who don't like Metroid doesn't sound so bad to me.
