Is it just me or do powerups in AM2R come way too early? Was M2 like this?

Not sure if want. Interesting idea, certainly, but it can't really avoid being just a Mario Maker clone with Metroid elements.

Should I play AM2R before or after Samus Returns?

>playing AM2R
>it's literally perfect other than the fact it uses Zero Mission physics

I'd like to see another Metroid homebrew with some sort of dedicated run button and good physics that isn't a Super Metroid romhack. But otherwise Samus Returns is gonna have to amazing to live up to AM2R, still excited for another take on it though.
>>
>>381014298
spider ball was one of the earliest powerups in 2. it basically defined how you moved around the world

plus, since am2r is bringing in all the shit from all the other games but distributing them along a pretty-closely-recreated, they're going to be dropping at much higher frequency
>>
>>381014298
Nah, I feel like AM2R is slightly easier than Metroid 2.

granted I haven't played the original for about 15 years. I lost my cartridge

Maybe they could have it where you make rooms separately, connect them to make maps, and you can share both rooms and maps. That would be super cool.

Do you think they'll include a cameo for x parasites? Like actually showing how metroids feed on them in one scene.

This is a nightmare. I've backtracked everywhere, bombed every wall, and have all but 10 Missiles. I just can't figure out where I need to go. I can't rush through the zones with the acid because four energy tanks and 99 health isn't enough to reach the end.

I can't let my younger self best me. I beat this as a kid without help, and I'm struggling now. I'm not even 30 yet, fuck.

>>381014806
Since Sakamoto is involved, probably will do that around the Metroid den at the end of the game.

Then people will spaz out and talk about a Fusion remake for years to come, or a Fusion sequel, and the old Metroid fans will just sit back and think about how it'll be another decade break before we see any of that

>You should turn off the hint system
..this might be a very good idea.

I never really bothered that much with the hints back in the day because they were only popping up after a very long time when I obviously lost track of where I'm supposed to go. But now I'm playing the unpatched NTSC version of the game and what the fuck, that one currently totally showers me with this shit.
I don't remember MP1 telling me where the save stations or the bosses are with the hints on.
>>
>>381014916
go back as close as you can to the starting area and start looking from there is the best advice i can give you.

Never drew a map before. Always winged it blind.

>>381015113
I planned on backtracking there, so I'll get on it right now.
>>
>>381014298
It just feels like that because you get space jump so soon

The reason you get space jump is because spider balling can accomplish the same thing but it would bring the game to a crawl, so they might as well let you fly.

>I don't remember MP1 telling me where the save stations or the bosses are with the hints on.
IIRC it only tells you where that save station and the one in Chozo Ruins are, but I could just have a bad memory and be wrong. Assuming those were the only two that it actually tells you about though, it always struck me as weird that they even bothered. Like, maybe it makes sense to point the player to the first one in the Chozo Ruins, since that'd probably be the first one they find after Samus's ship itself, but still.

>>381015010
The problem with the flying metroids is their hitbox is bullshit. You're supposed to shoot them from underneath, but the room won't let you get underneath them and they fly in a shallow arc. So the only way you get to shoot at them 98% of the time is from the front, and unless you're gosu your missiles just have to hit at the exact right time to tag the hitbox. I played the game spamming missiles. Sometimes I got lucky, sometimes I didn't.

And ofcourse once you hit them the stun knocks them back and you can pump more. Then it just feels cheap and how many missiles you waste on the fight comes down the luck.

Not them, but I played and beat AM2R on Keyboard, and Hard Mode Omega Metroids were THE fucking worst, you recall that area where you'd morph ball in and it'd just be a rectangle room? I had to slowly chip away at the bastards because they kept deflecting my shots as well as punching holes into my HP.

Not a bad game.

>>381015556
Metroid is worth it.
>>
>>381015496
Yes, but you gotta be a special kind of retarded to fuck up at Metroid Prime, a game that is fundamentally designed to tell you everything you would ever need to know about anything.

And you know full well that come September, there's going to be a new TIHYDP to look forward to.
>>
>>381015787
That's how I played. The fights still play out like that.

They should've made it where you get above the metroids to draw them up, then drop down and shoot them from underneath.

>>381015910
Easily one of the best looks for her. I think the only one that's on par is the Hunter's face.

>>381015910
This is probably the closest to what I'd like Samus to look like. Beautiful but visibly a little older, like someone in their 30's or so.

I'd prefer her hair to be something more like a sandy blonde though.
>>
>>381015975
Oh yeah. I think everybody just goes in the morph ball holes, waits for the omega to leave, run out, and shoot it when it turns around. It also had a wack hitbox too.

The weakspot on the back was a cool idea, but who's going to risk that when you can cheese them the whole time?

Why is she so dang skinny in Samus Returns? Like, I'm glad we're getting a new 2D Metroid but I feel like they couldn't help making her look "girly" so they gave her these super long, slender legs.

Aside from the first game, Fusion, and the Primes, Samus's suit has never looked like a person could actually fit inside it.
The abdominal area alone looks far too thing for any human being to be able to fit in it.

Finally decided to properly 100% Super Metroid. I'm not sure if I forgotten how to play these games or it's just old design screwing with me, there were a lot of "HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO FIGURE THAT OUT" moments, like a secret room hiding being a literal fake wall (the only one in the game as far as I'm aware).

It wouldn't need it, but people will ask for it since "OMG I LOVED IT AS A KID I WANNA PLAY IT AGAIN", since Nintendo isn't taking advantage of that VC catalog.

At this point, I'd say Super could use a remake due to how it is basically the Mario 3 of the series in far of how important it was overall, yet it has aged somewhat and isn't very accessible compared to all the remakes.

Icespreader and Flame Thrower are comically bad though, kind of like the Seeker Missile and Screw Attack from Echoes.

>I want to invite this guy to a party and watch him bomb

No. In Metroid, you have to carefully plan and predict player's actions (like "Where is he going to go after grabbing this thing?" and "How to make sure he knows what he's doing?"), playtest the ever living shit out of everything (so there are no sequence breaks and stuff like that), and use actual game design (like explaining the power-ups using terrain and slowly guiding the player without being too obvious about it).
In Mario, you only need to make sure the jumps are doable, You don't even have to care about things like repetitiveness and fun - you're only making a single short level, not an entire map.

I think you're understating what goes into a good Mario level, or a good 2D platformer level in general. Metroid is really impressive in terms of the scale and interconnections, but a lot of individual rooms are kind of boring. They can have awkward layouts or unfair enemy spots, although it doesn't matter since you can take hits. Mario, on the other hand, puts a lot of emphasis on the simplest block layouts. Just look up the work that went into the very first screen of SMB1 alone. The layouts are more important. That said, while making a really good Mario level is difficult, making a decent one is fairly easy, which is why Mario Maker works. It would not work for Metroid.

Who knows if destroying Phaaze was a good thing, it may have scattered phazon across several systems potentially infecting them. Shit if enough is just floating around pretty sure it can just reform itself.
How any times did we "defeat" metroid prime just for it to re-congeal later?

The reason GBA games on 3DS don't have that shit is because they're not emulated. They're running natively in DS mode.

>>381023714

Tallon Metroids didn't exist at that point. All the prime games come before Metroid 2, and being out of their natural environment, it's safe to assume that any that Samus didn't kill would die on their own. Also, technically GF clones were in captivity, so the statement still applies.

not him but i will /vr/pill you on crts

-Colors are CRTs are much better than modern displays. A big example is deeper blacks.

-CRTs have no input lag. No matter what kind of modern display you have, all of them have input lag, no matter how small. CRTs have none.

-Pixelated garbage turns into beautiful grafix. Scanlines and/or bluriness (depending on what you're using) blends disgusting pixels into an actual solid image.

-You can play retro games at their native 240p resolution instead of having to deal with upscaled trash on a modern display.

If you want to know more, there is a CRT general on /vr/.

>>381024361
That anon is actually correct in most aspects. Obviously, things vary from model to model, but CRTs will almost always have better color contrast than the majority of LCD and plasma TVs. They also don't suffer from input lag at all because the technology is primarily analog, whereas LCD and plasma displays require circuitry to parse incoming information. Finally, games made before the HD era of gaming were definitely designed with low resolution CRT monitors in mind, so sometimes they look awkward on modern hardware, though this varies significantly from game to game.

Here's a picture of the upgrade screen in Samus Returns. There's a couple of things I found interesting about it.

First of all, on the top we have an idea of what collectibles will be available. There will be Energy Tanks, Missile Expansions, Aeion Tanks and Super Missile Expansions.

On the left side, we have Samus' beam/missile upgrades. From left to right, top to bottom, you have the standard Power Beam, Charge Beam, Ice Beam, Wave Beam, Grapple Beam, Spazer Beam and one more unobtained beam upgrade. At the bottom, you have the standard Missiles and Super Missiles. What's also worth noting is that during regular gameplay, you can choose between three different styles of beams/missiles (by tapping the touch screen). At this point during the game, the three beam options on the touchscreen during regular gameplay were the Spazer Beam, Ice Beam and Grapple Beam. Unless you can pick and choose exactly which three beam modes feature on the touchscreen, it looks like the Wave and Spazer Beams are straight-up upgrades from the standard Power Beam while the Ice Beam has to be used separately. The latter is more likely, since during this segment shots could penetrate the ground despite the Wave Beam not being explicitly equipped. When you hold R to use Missiles, you get three missile options. At this point, it was the standard Missiles, Super Missiles and a blank square. That seems to imply that the final beam upgrade is used by holding down R. So if it does end up being something like the Plasma Beam (the only Beam upgrade from the original game that hasn't returned yet), you may have to hold down R to use it (rather than it just adding additional damage to your standard shots like in previous games).

One of these blank squares will almost certainly be the Screw Attack, since that is the last suit upgrade from the original game that isn't included so far. That leaves two more suit upgrades. The placement of these remaining upgrades seem to suggest that they'll be the Power Bombs and Gravity Suit, which would mean that the Speed Booster is not returning. Alternatively the Speed Booster is returning and either the Power Bombs or Gravity Suit won't be returning. Either way, we'll be missing one of the series' established suit upgrades.

I'll finish off by talking about the Aeion abilities. There seems to be 4 Aeoin abilities in this game and they're activated by pressing the A button. You use the d-pad to select which Aeion ability you want the A button to activate. Up is the Scan Pulse, left is Lightning Armour, right is the machine-gun blast (don't know the name of it yet) and there's one more Aeion ability that is selected by pressing down. It's possible that the "missing" upgrade that is no longer returning as a regular suit upgrade could be returning as an Aeion ability or the final Aeion ability is something completely new.

>>381025291
Honestly, the input lag thing isn't really a significant issue, just a known fact based on how the hardware is designed. It can be an issue if you get a really cheap shitty LCD TV, but if you get a decent TV, the effect is non-significant. Another thing to note is that LCD and Plasma TVs can have low "refresh rates", which can make games that run at decent to high FPS rates look like shit, which is an issue no CRT will ever have because of the way the technology works. I generally try to stick to TVs and monitors with a refresh rate of at least 120 hertz to avoid artifacts and screen tearing during gameplay.

> the input lag thing isn't really a significant issue

In some games where 20ms can be the difference between taking a hit and avoiding something, it can be significant. If you're playing some really hard shit it can fuck you over occasionally. Of course with something like Super Metroid it doesn't matter, but if you want to play older hard as fuck games then it can get frustrating having your reaction time artificially slowed down.

I've waited over 20 years for a Metroid 2 remake / remaster from Nintendo, and the time is nigh. Ever since they teased a GBC update have I waited patiently for the day they finally do it.

AM2R was pretty good for what it was, and I'm hoping Nintendo still can make good 2D Metroids in this day and age, despite having one of the worst teams around. If someone has some LoS2 stuff like the hilariously oversized doors and other "quality", feel free to share, since those devs fucked themselves out of using the Castlevania license after that trainwreck

Wonder what else I'll find.
>>
>>381026280
Unfortunately, no. For what it's worth, the info you want to know is usually stuff that's easy to check yourself. For video games, the golden rule is a high refresh rate (60 hz is the absolute minimum, but I recommend 120+), good contrast (higher is better, you want at least 700 though), and minimal artifacts. Generally, stuff like refresh rate and contrast ratios are listed on the packaging along with stuff like the resolution. Checking for artifacts is more difficult; generally you have to actually watch something being played on the TV to see em, look for odd blurring, screen tears, and little squares of off-colors around things moving quickly on the screen. Beyond that, all I can offer is that LG makes a good product. Good luck, anon.

I agree with this.
Basic enemies just required you ran through the room (as in, hold up as the room moved you on the path) and you pressed the shoot button.
If the enemy didn't die to that, you just charged a shot and jumped on them for an instant kill.
anything else you just dodged and shot until you could charge and jump on them.

I have actually forgot the bosses because I refuse to play that trash again.

The thing is, it ALMOST worked. The faster pace and greater amount of movement options were very nice. Unfortunately, the "stand still and go first person for missiles" thing and dumb camera ruined it. I wasn't a fan of the whole dodge mechanic either, but mostly because it was forgiving to the point of being overpowered. The counter mechanic in Samus Returns seems a lot more reasonable, though I feel like it would be more interesting if you were forced to charge it for like half a second before it would work. We'll see how it pans out in September, I suppose.
>>
>>381027563
The issue was the hamfisted plot though.
Metroid games typically have an appeal surrounded by Samus being alone in an alien world and exploring. OM had several other characters and focused the game around an entirely different feel plus the characters ended up harming the story far more than helping it.

Been playing AM2R.
It's phenominal.

One very minor complaint;

I'm probably the only human being on the planet who feels this way.

But the pixelated look of AM2R irks me.

Like, I get it, I understand where they're coming from, they want to stay true to the origins of the project.

But there's literally zero reason why it has to be stuck in 4:3 with a retarded resolution.

You're building a game from scratch and you know the vast majority of the players are going to be playing in 16:9, 1080p. I'm not asking for a full HD remake, but something above the resolution of a Gameboy Advance would've been nice.

How? The game took 10 years to make by editing sprites and tiles ripped from Nintendo's games. Even if they found an artist who could make higher res assets it would take an eternity. And pixel art stops being pixel art and starts to look like shit at some point beyond 240p. It would have to be a 3D or line art game. Needless to say the results would be ass.

Also if AM2R bothers you, did all the 2D metroid games bother you? You sound like you're under 18.

You're right, it probably would've taken longer.

But if you're already going through the trouble to re-do all the art assets, AND taking advantage of the better hardware in other ways, like lighting effects, shaders, and item density, staying with the resolution of the gameboy advance is an extremely arbitrary decision to make.
That goes double for the 4:3 aspect ratio, which neither the GBA nor the original Gameboy used.
It's just a weird quirk in otherwise flawless game design that doesn't make much sense in context.

No, none of the other 2D metroid games bothered me. You seem unreasonably upset.

Going from AM2R to Super can be pretty jarring. Movement is much less smooth in Super when compared to AM2R or Zero Mission. I'd say go for Super first, so you don't have a hard time getting used to how Samus controls there.

You don't understand what that means. It's still GBA samus and 16x16 tiles. If you want a higher resolution, you have to start from scratch. It's not an arbitrary decision. It's the only decision.

>That goes double for the 4:3 aspect ratio, which neither the GBA nor the original Gameboy used.

Super was close to a 4:3 aspect ratio. AM2R has the most tiles on screen of any metroid game. He could make it wider which would be even more fuckhuge, or he could crop some out and reduce the pixel density even more, which you've already told us you don't like.

>It's just a weird quirk in otherwise flawless game design that doesn't make much sense in context.

Maybe gamemaker had problems outputting resolutions lower than 320x240. This was designed to run on modern PCs.

>No, none of the other 2D metroid games bothered me. You seem unreasonably upset.

They don't have to start from scratch, because it's Game Maker, not some GBA romhack. So long as the pixel density remains proportional, they could've made the art as big or small as they wanted to, but they stuck with the GBA, for basically no reason.

>This was designed to run on modern PCs.
My point exactly. Why go through the trouble to build an entirely new game from scratch, and then limit yourself to 16x16 tiles?
Super Metroid was in 256x223 because that's what the Super NES could output.
The older Metroid games output the best visuals the hardware would allow. AM2R does not.

Not hand drawing everything in the game is "no reason"

The guy who made this was a sound designer. Good fan artists that are willing to spend years on a free project that's going to be DMCA'd aren't waiting to be recruited.

Why are you so assblasted? The project started over ten years ago. Zero Mission was the last 2D game to come out, and the entire point of AM2R is to make a "Zero Mission" styled remake of Metroid II.
Of course it's going to look like a GBA game.

No they aren't. Samus and some enemies are edited zero mission and fusion sprites, and so are the natural terrain tiles. There's a lot of custom assets but the heavy lifting was done my Nintendo.

Anyway my point wasn't who did what, It's a lot easier and faster to make 16x16 tiles and pixel art assets than to make high resolution artwork. That's not in the reality of a fan game.

This is reality. The dude was an amateur sound designer who had never made a game before, using game maker. He worked within his means and produced something similar to the last metroid game made 3 years earlier from when he started.

And any fan game that looks like bubsy is lucky. Pic related. It's what most fan games look like because people quit.

You know what most indy games look like right? Especially platformers. Not fan games, ones made by people trying to make a living that they charge money for. They use low resolution pixel art. In 2017. There is a reason. Because if they work outside their talents it looks like Bubsy.

And I suppose you think Sonic Mania is confusing because it's still using genesis resolutions in 2017. And that's a real 1st party product.

Show me a fan game made by one guy and a few volunteers thats a 1080p mustardpiece, after you kill yourself.
