Zero Mission, Fusion. When you beat Zero Mission, it unlocks the Original Metroid and you can play that if you want. I'd emulate Metroid II before playing AM2R.
Best starting point for the series?
Besides Other M and Fedora Force, are there any others I should avoid?
>>381043575
Zero Mission is a great starting point. Has all the basics of Metroid but guides you through it without holding your hand. Super is probably the quintessential Metroid. You owe it to yourself to give it a shot. Fusion is okay. It's very on rails though. Prime is the Metroid formula in 3D and while differentis fantastic. Even if Prime3 is more on rails. AM2R hard as dicks. Play it once you feel comfortable with Metroid as a whole
Super > Fusion > ZM > NES > 2
>>381043681
Just play Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow but only use the gun. BAM.
>>381043687
Probably just me being shit then, but Nightmare still managed to piss me off. Pretty sure it took me at least 8-10 tries on the Japanese Hard difficulty to beat the fucker. When he gets on his phase where his face looks like it's melting, half of my missiles that were hitting him square in the face would just bounce off of him.
>>381043681
Fusion is a game that's not for every Metroid fan. If you're really disliking it, just drop it. I personally found it fun, even if it does restrict exploration too much. The atmosphere of the game also made it much better than I expected it to be.
>>381043575
download visual boy advance, dolphin, and whatever the hottest snes emulator is these days (higan?)
You can play the prime games concurrently or separately your choice
zero mission > super > fusion > am2r
prime 1 > prime 2 > prime 3 > hunters if you feel like
>>381043681
It's a metroid game - the whole point is to get your equipment and kill bosses. It isn't some open world exploration game.
If you are a sequence break fag, kys.
>>381043981
start with either Zero Mission or Prime 1. If you like ZM, play Super Metroid and then Fusion. If you like Prime, play 2 & 3.
Other M is truly the black sheep of the Metroid family. I want to find a reason to like it since Sakamoto made it but . . . it's nearly indefensible.
>>381043981
Besides those two there's 2. 2 introduced a lot of mechanics that became staples of the series but it's also very clunky and the large Samus sprite and same color backgrounds make it hard to track your progress despite how linear it is

Oh man, during Ridley's attack you have to look for his green blood.
His Green blood on the Green grass, and it's a tiny spec of blood as well, and you have to find it.
>>381046373
it's a style of gameplay where you use a cursor to find one tiny little dot on the screen (usually the size of a pixel) to solve a puzzle.
It was pretty bad in Other M.
>>381044527
Those tech-heels will never not be weird to me
>>381045994
Was a "HEY REMEMBER THIS THING FROM PREVIOUS GAME" all over the place.
Which meant when Smash Bros needed to copy paste models into the trophies of Smash 4, they had Mother Brain (Assist Trophy), Metroid Queen, Phantoon, and Nightmare.
It was the first and probably only time the four mainline games will ever get something like that in Smash ever.

Can you do (almost) reverse order in Fusion? Can you completely ignore upgrades in Fusion? Skip bosses entirely in Fusion? You can in ZM.

>during the big bad battle this happens
Jesus christ
>>381046621
I like how in Super Metroid enemies respond with different AI reactions to your attacks depending on what you use. Missiles, Charged shots and super missiles all make Phantoon react differently.
>>381046807
Oh no, it's during his "Pre-Ridley" phase, he doesn't have wings and for the actual battle you're pinned down as he just does like 3 attacks.
The Big Bad Battle has Samus have that shitty mental breakdown for no reason.
>>381046825
Phantoon is the only enemy that does that.
>>381046621
Shits that's fucking creepy. Imagine if they made an entire game like that were Samus takes on lovecraftian creatures from another dimension.

You DID preorder me, right /v/?
>>381045765
I don't see what's wrong with this, it's either Metroid NES or Zero Mission since both tell the same story. From there Metroid II or Samus Returns, Super Metroid, then Metroid Fusion to set your self up for Metroid Dread in 2019 as one of the 3DS's final games.

Dead game series on a dead platform lol
I'm starting to wonder why Sakamoto made Other M at all, or at the very least, why he thought something placed between Super and Fusion was a story worth telling. He could have easily made Metroid 5, or maybe a prequel set before Zero Mission - in fact, the latter was what I thought Other M would be because I got the impression that Adam died a long time ago, not literal days before Fusion happened.

Good, maybe now Metroid and Metroid Prime can coexist in the same universe like Halo instead of feeling like it's split. While there should be a main series (2D) the stories that expand the universe should never feel distant towards the main series, it should still look like you are playing a game from the same series. To me this has been Prime's biggest downfall since Prime 1.

>>381047927
Two important questions are whether you prefer 2D games or 3D games, and whether you care about playing a series in its chronological order or not.
2D and chronological order: Zero Mission > AM2R > Super Metroid > Metroid Fusion > Give Prime 1 a chance. If you like it, move on to Prime 2 and Prime 3. Leaving Prime for last is assuming you are not much into the kind of 3D "shooter" Prime is, but if you do like it enough, you can try to squeeze the trilogy somewhere in there. Prime 1 comes right after Zero Mission chronologically, but the Prime series is disconnected enough that it doesn't matter that you may play those out of order.
2D and not in chronological order: Super Metroid > Zero Mission > Fusion > AM2R > Again, give Prime 1 a chance, move on to Prime 2 and 3 if you like it. And again, you can squeeze the Prime trilogy anywhere you want in there if you feel like it.
3D: Prime 1 > Prime 2 > Prime 3, then look at the 2D games by what you prefer depending on what I said above.
Don't have a preference for 2D and 3D: It's a blind shot between starting with Super Metroid or Prime 1.
>>381048825
You have to remember, Other M is the way Sakamoto has always envision Samus' character to be. To him, she was always like that. And since he's the director of the entire series, he can force that vision on the rest of us.
>>381049153
>it should still look like you are playing a game from the same series
I literally don't give two fucks about this. The Prime series is one of the best, if not the best, examples of translating a classic 2D game into a modern 3D one. There's no reason it has to "look like" the 2D games when the core loop and points of entertainment are the same.

What the fuck was he talking about when he said he was concerned that people might have varying ideas of who Samus is? Samus is mostly a blank slate, so what was so offensive to him about people filling in the blanks themselves?
>>381049854
Were the original Star Wars not good? The George Lucas problem is exactly my point. You give too much freedom to someone, you go from directing Super to Other M.
>tfw flinch every time Samus' reflection appears in Prime
is there a way to get over this?
>>381049820
Dude he may not be right but it's obvious on Metroid Samus Returns Nintendo is now merging the Metroid and Prime universes to have some consistency after the abomination that was Other M. I see no issue with this, been a series issue for a while.
>>381049742
Must be hard being colorblind.
>>381049918
That's not really fair. They're different kinds of games. Prime was a renaissance of Metroid, so they went all out with the music. Prime 2 was more hostile, decadent world so the music was more minimal for the dark world, for Agon Wastes, etc. Still ain't played Prime 3 to be honest.

Are you suggesting I recommend Metroid II? Because that game won't do anyone any favors. I loved that game myself but even I can admit that it's really rough around the edges and did not age well one bit. It's definitely not a game I'd recommend to a newcomer over AM2R. And there's a reason I recommend it as a last for the 2D games if you don't care for chronological order anyway.
>>381050187
Everyone should play the official games and get a general idea of the series before playing fangames. Don't treat them like legitimate parts of the series.

>>381050305
Stop shitposting.
>>381048825
I think a lot of the issues surrounding M:OM could have been remedied if it was a prequel before ZM. Samus' fear and emotional instability could have been attributed to her youth. Her reliance on Adam and the Federation goonsquad could have been handwaved as her still being a Fed lackey and needing to follow orders. Her reaction to Ridley would be genuine, as it would be the first time she'd encountered him.
The storytelling would still be awful, but at least it wouldn't conflict with canon.
Is fucking soccer worth a play? Does it run on Citra?
>>381049953
People were thinking of Samus as a hardened, jaded, professional, yet compassionate veteran soldier and golly gee wilkers that just isn't the idea he had of his shitty pathetic submissive whiny little girl waifu samus
>>381050342
The in-game sprite is sort of pink, but in the ending screen they show it is intended to be purple. Palette limitations, maybe.
>>381050447

>>381049742
>>381049867
>>381050015
>>381050087
It depends on the fucking game. In Super the ingame sprite uses pink AND purple tones, Fusion's straight up purple. ZM is the same as Super yet in the unlockable art the suit is completely purple--Metroid was 30 years ago and Smash isn't fucking canon.

I had fun with it because it's cool to see how much of a score you can rack up with weapon combos but there is no point in playing solo.

Settle down, shitposter. It's ok, they're human, they make mistakes. It's like how WayForward misinterpreted Abobo's sprite and gave him an handle bar mustache in Double Dragon Neon: they looked at the sprite wrong and thought it was purple with pink highlights instead of pink with purple shading.

It'd still retcon Fusion since she'd have no reason to be shocked about the feds having a Metroid cloning/breeding facility.
That and A.I adams quip about how Adam would just sit in a command room and order her to die exactly like he did in Other M.
>>381049947
Ah man. I'm no longer a NEET but I'm still a poorfag who's not making enough, so even though I do have enough to preorder, I'd rather not spend it on anything like that until I have more disposable income.

I agree, putting fangarbage next to things like Other M and Fucking Soccer is ridiculous hubris.

It's purple.
>>381050632
Oh honey, sweetie pie, I remember when I thought Nintendo was perfect too.
>>381050712
The suit's purple, the light makes it shine pink-ish.
>>381050867
According to official Super Metroid art, so's her hair.
>>381046621
>they had Mother Brain (Assist Trophy)
If you actually look at her model, it wasn't copy n' pasted from Other M. It's an entirely new model that's actually based on her appearance in Zero Mission. Compare it to her face in Other M and to her sprite in ZM and you can definitely see it pulls from the latter.

You talkin' to me?
>>381050865
Do we know how far MP4 is in development?
Anyway, I hope that Samus Returns does do well, it and MP4 both, so that Nintendo sees that people really do want more Metroid.And then they need to do the same thing with F-Zero and Advance Wars too.
>>381050945
its their fucking franchise , they can do with it what they want.
Do shit like Other M and bitter people with it they can because its theirs.
But a random person making a fan game about the franchise and expecting people to acknowledge thatt shit its just fucking retarded.
>>381045994
>>381046182
Came here to post this. If there was anything they got right in spite of their monotone expository bullshit it was with Anthony. It actually feels like a relationship based around comradery and mutual professional respect, basically the furthest thing from the beaten housewife stick she has going with Adam in that game. That and in one scene Anthony does more to help Samus with his big fucking gun then Adam does in everything prior.
>>381051360
probably a 2019 release at the earliest.
>>381051360
>Do we know how far MP4 is in development?
Not officially, but I'm pretty sure it's quite early in development, given how rushed the reveal felt.
>>381051360
You get a new Advance Wars game and it sells amazingly well, revitalizing the series and bringing it back to the forefront.However it does so through super-waifuism and self-insert focus
What is the one studio you really hope is NOT making Prime 4?
How the fuck do you beat Mother Brain in Zero Mission holy shit
>>381051513
Bethesda. Of course, that won't ever happen so everything's good.

Yeah, something tells me they only announced a new MP this year due to the backlash from Federation Force. But then Tanabe's probably wanted to do a new one for awhile.
>>381051510
>However it does so through super-waifuism and self-insert focus
How would that even be possible?
I like how every shitty meme indie game in the world gets on Wii U and Switch's eShop but we can't get a fucking 2D Metroid on the main console. I'm not buying a 3DS for this, and I'm not buying a Switch until Prime 4. if Samus Returns was on Switch, I'd consider getting it earlier.
>>381051563

I was able to beat Mother Brain in my fucking smartphone with a GBA emulator, where there is no tactile feedback for a button press and pressing the L or R buttons was really hard and required hand gymnastics. If I could do that then you can do this.
>>381051707

A lot of what makes that model pop in game is custom shader work specifically for that game, and I didn't try to replicate it 'cause I only really wanted the comparison for overall geometry & the differences between the emblem on the back.
How is the prime trilogy on dolphin now? Is the latest version of dolphin good or do I have to use that one fork that fixes the shader cache issues?

Anyone else had a similar experience with the chozo ghosts? I got incredibly spooked despite being on a very sunny level.
>>381051809
Man, it's time to move on. The resolution is insanely low, I wish they'd just drop it. But if I'm left with no choice, I might get a 2DS XL I guess. At least I could play A Link Between Worlds too I guess.
Do you think Sakamoto can redeem himself?
>two new games coming
>multilple Metroid threads hitting the bump limit every day, all full of discussion of the series and hopes for the future
I'm amazed at how this series did a complete 180 in just a day. Very hpapy too
>>381051891
iirc, they had some fixes in for it. I don't remember exactly, because I still own a functioning Wii and MPT
>>381051912
>I got incredibly spooked despite being on a very sunny level
Yeah the deeper you go into the ruins the creepier they get. It's all in the music/ambiance, really.
>>381052008
And they're all (for the most part) full of quality discussion, but not even a month ago they were filled with baiting and shitposting. Such a nice change.
>>381051891
I played the Trilogy on Dolphin just fine some time ago. You used to need Ishiruka, but Dolphin has since improved performance and they both play it the same.
>>381051912
Don't worry, before long you'll be sick of the chozo ghosts.
>>381052008
Got some shit on your face there Samus.
>>381052008
I was genuinely starting to believe that this series might actually be dead but I'm so fucking happy that Nintendo is actually making new (real) Metroid games. Feels fucking good.

The Spotlight made me play the series desu. I just finished Zero Mission while I enjoyed it, I wish it wasnt so short. I beat it in ~5 hours. I hear Metroid 2 is shorter so its gonna be hard to stomach spending 40 bucks on the remake of a 3-4 hour game
Trying to beat Mother Brain on a phone is the worst thing holy fuck fuck these onion rings

As far as 2D goes his record is pretty much spotless. Unless you're a fag who doesn't like Fusion, that is.

>>381052469

>>381052515
There's plenty of good reason to dislike Fusion.
>>381052515
This, can't wait for him to use SR's engine to make Metroid Dread for the 3DS.
>>381051986
Probably. All autism aside, Samus Returns literally doesn't have anything in common with Other M besides maybe some of those flashy finisher animations.
Besides the Melee counter shit, it looks and sounds to be a Metroid-ass Metroid game with proper level design and health picks up, etc. If it was horribly linear, had dull Samus monologues all over the place, brought back the lame focus self-healing mechanic from OM and shit like that, then yeah there'd be a problem, but we haven't seen such things in SR.
>>381052386
Every Metroid game Sakamoto made that wasn't Other M was rock solid. As long as he's not allowed to write a story and his waifuism for Samus is kept to a minimum, we should be fine.
>>381052469
2d Metroids are always short, it's what makes them so replayable.
>>381052309
Much better.
>>381043681
I think they really nailed the "jump n shoot" in this game. running all over the place was a lot of fun, shooting at bad guys was fun, even though it was mostly a theme park ride
I remember when I first played it, there were times I was genuinely stuck and couldn't figure out how to get to the glowing dot on my map
I dunno, I always consider this to be my favorite 2D metroid just because it was mechanically fun to play. I never cared too much about the whole "wander around until you find something weird" that everyone clings to with this series
>>381052545
Here's another good one.
>>381052469
Thing is with metroid games is that they have great replayability. I've played through zm and fusion like 7+ times
I'm playing super metroid for the first time in a long time. god what an excellent game. right now in Ridley's Lair
>>381052423
For nearly the whole game, no. You can just bind some of the wagglan' actions to a certain key on your keyboard and it's all fine. The only time I really had a problem was the part where you have to synchronize the levers movements in the Pirate Homeworld with the GF Trooper/Gandrayda. I had to try that shit for nearly 20 minutes because at one point during the synchronization where you have to twist, doing a twist would also do a push immediately after for some reason. I managed to get through it but it was really infuriating trying to make it work.
>>381052650
I wouldn't say Fusion was really rock solid but it wasn't bad.
>Echoes

>>381052720
I love that they just call FF soccer
>>381052386
They know their shit, you should listen to them. Metroid, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and Metroid Zero Mission were all good (I love Metroid II as well but it was the only 2D Metroid he didn't work on). I have faith that Metroid Samus Returns will be good and then we can finally get Metroid Dread next.
>>381052636
If Samus Returns has those dumb stupid gay ass hunt the pixel in the static diorama segments from Other M I will have an aneurysm
>>381052824
most annoying enemy in the game, lead them into a light crystal zone and supercharge it with a light beam shot
>>381052720
Holy shit! they have the same opinion as us! XD

>>381052386
While questionable he seems to have learned his lesson. Somebody link the interview where he says that the story is told through the environment or background something like that. Other M's problem was more then just its story as the gameplay was pretty terrible as well with forced waggle when a Nunchuck and Wiimote could have been used for a third person FPS type of Metroid instead of the poorly transitioned 2-D gameplay into 3-D.
This time we wont have that problem and we also have a completely optional attack we can ignore if we want to play it traditionally while having the much welcome free aim mode.
>>381053039
>Nintendo tries to pander to casuals with fucking soccer
>literally no one buys it and it just alienates the core fanbase even further
really joggles the jiggles
So whats gonna be happening in Prime 4?
Sylux gonna come back and try to fuck Samus up for being a goody goody? Phazon gonna come back? Dark Samus gonna try and shove phazon down Samus' throat again?Will Ridley be there? Will he be a robot,
a clone, a robot clone, or a robot clone of a robot clone's clone this time?
>>381046094
Not disagreeing that Other M was shit, but was I the only one who had no trouble popping off the Power Bomb right when the Metroid Queen swallows you? I somehow just knew you could do it and I swear they somehow telegraph to you that you're able to do it at that point. Am I crazy?
Anyone else enjoy whenNightmareshowed up in Other M?
Just seeing it was was so damn great, I love the thing.
>>381053406
Sylux has been teased twice and Tanabe has a boner for him, he'll be the big bad.
My question is what type of thing will Samus activate a self destruct sequence for.
Oh boy! Metroid and Metroid threads are alive again, how wonderful!
It's been so long my friends, remembah me?

>>381053496
That was one of the few things I was okay with about Other M.
>>381053496
I liked that it was there, but I didn't like the way they designed his fight at all. In Fusion he's this huge, lumbering, slow moving creepy beast and in OM hes a complete spaz.
>>381053608Her bowels
EVACUATE IN THREE MINUTES BEFORE TOTAL EXPLOSIVE MELTDOWN
>>381053406
I imagine that Sylux will be the main villain and there will be no Phazon or Dark Samus. Ridley could go either way but I'm hoping he's not in it. Also having said that, I really hope they don't shoehorn him into Samus Returns either.
>>381053694
What ? Zero mission is fucking good.Unless you REALLY wanna bust your balls playing the original Metroid.
>>381053729
Well, you do see Nightmare moving quickly in the background.
>Sylux was hinted stealing a metroid in Fed Force

Please don't tell me he is gonnaDELICIOUS CANDYthis shit again.
>>381053805Will it remodel her shithole?
>>381053128
I'd argue the problem with Other M's gameplay is that there were clearly two different directions and visions clashing against each other.
The thing is, Sakamoto originally wanted Other M just to be another one of his 2D Metroid games, albeit done in a 2.5D style. This is why he was mumbling on about how the game would be a "NES game made with modern technology", and why it plays with NES styled controls with the Wiimote on its side.
Problem is, Team Ninja sort of had other plans. They wanted to make the game into one of their 3D character action games like Ninja Gaiden, and they wanted to use the nunchuck and built the game around it. But Sakamoto denied them and insisted that the game had to control like a NES game. So in order to keep going with their character action game set up while appeasing Sakamoto, they attempted to make a compromise by presenting him with a prototype that had the game in 3D but still controlling with the Wiimote.
http://www.ign.com/articles/2010/03/11/gdc-10-metroid-director-wanted-classic-controls
In hindsight, Sakamoto should of really just enforced his 2.5D idea or fully embraced Team Ninja's 3D action game concept. Instead we ended up with this bizarre compromise that didn't really do a good job at either.
>>381053636
OUTTA MUH WAY FUCCBOI, I GOT LUMINOTH AND HUNTER PUSSY TO POUND
>>381053406
since Sylux was in FF and was hinted to at the end of Corruption I think hes a safe bet for having some role in Prime 4. Metroids will make an appearance, solely for the purpose of a Metroid Queen giving rebirth to the bastard devil child Dark Samus who will immediately blow up the planet. Ridley will make an appearancein Smash 5
>>381053908
Phazon is all gone. Nintendo says Prime just means first person Metroid to them.
>>381053889
I think he means the cost for a real physical cart.
>>381053823
>Ridley could go either way but I'm hoping he's not in it.
Man, what is it with people not wanting another Ridley fight?
I'd like to see a Ridley fight that's more like the ones in the 2D games, where he doesn't fly away and try to bomb you from afar. It just needs to be you and him in an enclosed space, no bullshit, just the two of you trying to kill one another.
>>381054038
Huh, okay. Kinda a shame we won't see dark samus but hey I guess moving on makes sense.
>>381054123
I'm kind of sick of Dark Samus and DELICIOUS CANDY, myself, and I always loved the character concepts and designs of the hunters in Hunters so I'm more than ok with the current direction
>>381054072
Oh well there are ways to circumvent that. the right way andthe illegal way.
>>381054083
SR Ceres Station postgame with Ridley as the final boss, snatching away the baby metroid you just spared. It's happening.
I just hope we get a narrative akin to Prime 1/2 when it comes to Prime 4.
Mostly Lore with a bit of story to push Samus along.
>>381054038
>Phazon is all gone
Ridley and metroids have come back from extinction half a dozen times, I wouldnt put it past Prime 4 to have son of Phaze or some shit
>Have to sleep
>Don't want to leave the comfiness of the Metroid thread
Help.
>>381054123
I'd actually be bothered if they tried to shoehorn Phazon. I'm glad we're gonna get something entirely new and not just Nintendo trying to play it safe while making no sense lore-wise.
>>381050783
lmfao the nigga doesnt realize pink in melee and 64 represents Metroid 1's VARIA
>>381053636
fuck man, okaying this thing on HARD
>>381054308
Ridley and Metroids come back via either augmentations on their barely living corpses or cloning. Prime 3 made it very clear that with Phaze gone, Phazon all over the universe disappears. It would be a bullshit retcon.
>Metroid is my favorite series
>I own, and have beaten every Metroid game

So emulate it.

True, it also all disappeared from Samus' body.

>>381054304
>Prime 2
It should be like the first Prime with absolutely no friendly interactions like you have with the Luminoth in Echoes, just you on an alien planet exploring. The Luminoth interactions added nothing to the game.

Nigga Tanabe literally stated right here that Dark Samus and Phazon are over and done with. Unless he's changed his mind over the last two or so years, they ain't coming back.
>"The stories of Dark Samus and Phazon are done now," he confirmed, before adding that the series would still focus on other Prime-series elements.
>>381054634
Emulating handheld games is cancer
>>381053942
huh did not know that well then I guess I agree with you, Having the mishmash completely ruined the game. The story only overshadows most complaints as it ruined alot of peoples image of Samus.

>So it was Sylux, another hunter from Metroid Prime Hunters at the end of Metroid Prime 3. Personally I'd like to create a story centring around Sylux and Samus
Thoughts? A timeshift mechanic sounds nice.
>>381054656
The Luminoth Interactions to me added a great feeling of sadness for their race since he was the last awake one, if he were to fall then all the rest were to be killed while in hibernation, him being alive tied well with all the death logs of the Luminoth seeing how long their struggle lasted as well as how near extinction they were, I also like how they're basically the distant cousins of the Chozo but they're lucky enough to have Samus visit their planet.
>>381053406
You're going to fight Sylux throughout the game, butall of a sudden there is a clone of Sylux, and the clone has been infected by phazon-x. You team up with Sylux at the end to fight the clone, Sylux is fataly wounded and takes off his helmet in a heart wrenching moment. it is revealed that Sylux is akshualy adam. he dies, then there is a cliffhangar for Prime 5: Other M 2.
>>381055213
They're wrong though. It's probably Mario > Zelda > Metroid still, although that includes casuals.
>>381048074
>tfw it literally is a mexican space soap opera
>>381053942
So is Samus Returns more in line of what he envisioned Other M to be like from a gameplay perspective?
>>381055268
Anon, it's too hot for sweaters.
I really wonder about Sylux's motive. Like, Does he work with the space pirates?
I Personally hope that he has his own agenda, and ends up working against the pirates as well.

>>381055615
He seems to be an unaffiliated bounty hunter, his only preference being that he hates the federation, and as an extension Samus for helping them so much.
He also MAY be human due to the his proportions and because he is using stolen Galactic Federation weapons.
He probably wouldn't be against helping pirates to destroy the federation, but we have yet to see how far his hate of the GF extends.
>>381055902
i think it said in the MPH game guide that he's not human
>>381055615
I hope he works with the pirates just to fuck them over.
>>381055592
Considering it's a 2.5D game, probably.
That being said, even if did play like a real Metroid game, Sakamoto would of still gone with the focus on narrative and the Bottleship as the main location. In other words, we would of gotten a game far more closer to Metroid Fusion than Super Metroid or Zero Mission. But at least it probably would of been fun, like Fusion was.
It's kinda interesting how history seems to repeat itself. Back in the early 2000s, Sakamoto came out with Fusion, a more linear, story focused action game. Few years later he came back with a far more traditional Metroid experience in the form of Zero Mission. We're kinda seeing the same thing here with Other M and Samus Returns.

I believe he said they would expand on the story a little more, but it is still a remake. Maybe some baby interaction and an X cameo.
If Sylux is the big bad of Prime 4, how do you think they'll use him differently than Dark Samus or SA-X? Being stalked and ambushed repeatedly has been done now
>>381056192
Sak said the story is in the background
>“[In] this game there’s a lot of background, there’s a lot of lore involved in this title. But it’s not like a novel or something. It incorporates the lore, but it’s not integral to the gameplay experience. It’s in the background more than in the foreground.
There is definitely information for the players to get that revolves around sort of the larger storyline.”
if there was a huge emphasis on story we would of seen it by now. all we've seen is just some quick cutscenes of samus looking at environments or a metroid or whatever which is literally par for the course when it comes to these days.
>>381056414
>when it comes to these days.
*when it comes to this series
>>381056414
Link that article please it would soothe alot of anxiousness people have towards the remake.
>>381056332
The game will have an arbitrary time limit, because you are racing Sylux to whatever goal you both share, you never really fight him until the end
>>381056567
Sylux's mask then?
>>381056512
http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/06/14/e3-2017-metroid-samus-returns-hands-on-a-welcome-upgrade
>>381056332
IIRC, sylux's skill set was tailored more towards espionage, subterfuge, and sabotage.
They could have interesting segments where you have to avoid sylux's traps.
So where the fuck does the story/lore come into these games? I just started playing Zero Mission after someone told me to go Zero Mission>Wait for 3DS Remake of 2>Super Metroid then Fusion and I just beat mother brain and got to the stealth sections and still feel like the game didnt really tell me alot. Is the story hidden behind instruction manuals and I have to read about it online basically?
>>381055809
Yes
>>381055592
Most likely
>>381056748
Depends on the game. For Zero Mission and super metroid, it's mainly environmental. Fusion has a lot of environmental storytelling but also a bunch of dialogue, Prime 1 gets a lot of story from scanning things, Prime 2 is the same but with some more dialogue, Prime 3 still has scanning for story but focuses more on scripted sequences and cutscenes.
>>381056671
Now this really dampens my enthusiasm since I'm scared Sakamoto will tack on another shitty ZS segment.
>>381049742
Gee, I guess that's why the Gravity Suit in Other M is pink. Good thing they didn't make it some weird energy aura thing because Sakamoto went senile and forgot everything about Super that didn't have to do with the baby metroid.
>>381056332
Multiple fights (not too many though) that slowly escalates from simple gun battles, using alt-forms, to straight pulverizing entire areas with gunship barrages when trying to kill each other.
>>381056748
Most of the Chozo stuff was covered in the manga or scan logs from the Prime games.
All you need to know about 2's plots is that SR388 is where the Metroids live, the feds sent Samus in to kill them, she finds a baby at the end that thinks she's its mommy, she hands it to the government to do science.
After ZM, just move on to either Prime or Super, no need to wait for months.
Also beat SM already, the game's basically done once you get to the stealth section unless you plan on doing item clean up.
>>381049338
I'm pretty sure it's been stated somewhere that Sakamoto didn't actually think that much about Samus' character up until Other M.
>>381056927
Ooh I want to kick Sakamoto in his greasy face.
just seeing the baby metroid in text form makes me angry.
>>381054580
I played every Metroid game except Metroid Prime 2, did i miss anything ?
I heard the difficulty curve is all over the place and it also got some odd level design.
But i'm kinda interested in all that "alternate dark world" theme.
>>381056748
theres a nice manga which explains it well
>>381057052
>no need to wait for months.

>>381055136
I did the exact same fucking thing
>>381048074
if you cant stomach NES metroid, you are a nancy girl
>>381056192
Heavily doubt it is after that Sakamoto interview, and even if Dread, when it's made, has a story it will be closer to Fusion but far more opened thanks to the scan pulse. It also seems that Sakamoto has finally done away with a long time issue since Fusion, unskippable cutscenes

It's totally the hardest Metroid game and reading up on what the Luminoth have been up to and their struggle with the Ing who invaded their planet is really damn fun.
there's even a Casual filter in the Boost Guardian boss.
>>381055594
You're right.
Are Metroid threads fun again?
>>381057147
It basically a refined version of Prime 1
>>381056256
It was confirmed to be Sylux. Sylux also steals a Metroid at the end of Federation Force.
>>381044604
This nigga is right, Skyward Sword would have benefited from an extra year of development. Bet it was rushed for the 25th anniversary of the series.
>>381057391

Tanabe said a couple years back that he'd like Prime 4 to have a time-shifting mechanic similar to the parallel worlds in Echoes.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-17-next-proper-metroid-prime-would-likely-now-be-on-nx
>Speaking with Tanabe, it was clear he had plenty of ideas for the game, including a focus on a single planet that has a time-shifting mechanic, similar to Metroid Prime 2: Echoes' single planet with dark and light variants.
>"Instead of broadening it to more planets I would have one and would focus on the timeline, and being able to change that. That's one interesting idea I have in mind... but I understand many people thought that [Echoes] was too difficult."
Thoughts on that?
Do you guys think I need to play Hunters to prep for Prime 4? I know Sylux shows up somehow in FF, but I honestly really don't want to play that. Right now I'd rather play Other M and try FF.
>>381057391
Yes, although if you are worried about the cinematic quicktime cutscene parry mechanics in Returns you'll tend to get a fight so best to just ignore it.
>>381057391
>Actual discussion going on.

>Beam ammo
>Can't get most Dark Temple Keys before you get the Light Suit which is at the very end
>Completely unfair bosses like Boost and Spider Guardian
>Useless upgrades like Seeker Missile and Screw Attack
How the hell is it more refined than Prime 1, it's worse in almost all aspects.
>>381057003
that would actually be hella cool, I'm kinda hoping for this now.
>>381057147
a lot of people consider it to be better than MP1, although it's kinda hit-or-miss. The super heavy atmosphere and mixed difficulty is a dealbreaker for some.
>>381057461

>>381057529
No, you fight the same bosses over and over again then Arceus at the end.
Multiplayer was the best thing about Hunters
>>381057526
Sounds like a perfect gimmick for the series, could set up some cool puzzles
>>381057574
>>no AC fag.
Did he just get drowned out by the posivtivity of the threads or did he finally kill himself?
>>381057391
For once, yes, I wish I can say the same for Halo but Halo 6 has to be good in order for that to happen.
>>381057529
Hunters didn't have much of a story, all you gotta know is that Sylux is a hunter, and he hates the GF and Samus as a result.
>>381057713
He hasn't posted in years. It's a paranoid delusion now, he's a boogeyman people can paste onto whoever disagrees with them. I sincerely doubt anyone in these threads even knows his origin or even was AC stands for.
>>381057574
Also he who shall not be named is also absent (for now).
This is nice
>>381057658
Federation Force ends with Sylux hatching a Metroid egg the player collects in one mission
>>381057650
Screw attack isn't completely useless but it isn't as fun as it could be. I wish it left you in complete control and basically functioned as a real space jump, letting you swiftly traverse the game to get the sky keys. Basically like controlling morphball but with updown controls too.
Issue with that of course is then you have to worry about all those skyboxes. What a shame.
>>381056748
Don't wait for the Remake, just go straight to Super. They summarize Metroid 2 at the beginning. If you really want to play Metroid 2 then play it, or AM2R I guess.

>>381057526
Sounds like A Crack in the Slab from Dishonored 2. I'd like to see similar mechanics in a Metroid game
To be honest I think the right way to get into the franchise is to play every single game in release order if you can handle dated gameplay and graphics. It just makes you appreciate so much of what comes after. This would also be the only way to preserve the progression in story.
So it'd be something like Metroid, Metroid 2, Super Metroid, Fusion, Zero Mission, AM2R, and then Samus Returns.
If you can't handle dated gameplay and graphics then it's pretty hard to choose the order. On the one hand, if you go in the story order where you have ZM, AM2R, Super, and then Fusion, you do preserve the story progression, but the gameplay is kind of messed up since it's hard to go from the faster movement in ZM and AM2R to the slower movement in Super, as well as a few dated mechanics in Super. You also understand a few less references in AM2R by not playing Fusion first.
But if you play in any other order, then you don't get a sense of the story, and some of the surprises in the games relating to the story don't have as much impact anymore.

He probably didn't pay attention since he exiled himself away from Metroid after Other M's disaster.
After Other M he said that he wanted to focus on different projects like Tomodachi Life instead
Not sure what drew him back though
>>381044391

>>381058140
Boost Guardian was poorly designed and implemented. Even some of the developers couldn't beat it. It's just a pallet swap of another boss but it ends up being surprisingly luck based unless you take advantage of a flaw int he AI.
It is both far harder than bosses before and after it despite being of minor importance. From a game design perspective it is a failure.
>>381058698
>drew him back
Don't tell me he's in charge of Prime 4
My heart can't take it
>>381058427
Why did Samus only get Palette swaps while Bowser Junior, Olimar, Corrin, Robin, and Little Mac get unique models?

I was talking about art direction, not necessarily character design, though they do overlap.
I love the way 343's Halo games use colors. Halo 4 had some god-tier environments that could've been in a Metroid Prime game. I always think that Halo 4 is what a Prime game could've looked like if the Wii were as powerful as the 360.

>>381060651
Bungie's Halo 1-3 were some of the most colorful shooters on the market, it's a shame they threw that away after Halo 3. While I wasn't a fan of Halo 4 and 5's art direction and aesthetics, I did like that 343 brought back Halo's bright, vibrant, and shiny color palette that was lost in ODST and Reach.

Ridley's past is unknown, he's just a big dragon that can breathe in space and joined the space pirates to be a general of their forces at some point. He killed and ate Samus' parents one time, so it's more like she was originally the one being a faggot to him over one of his Tuesdays. Only now she's killed him so many times he's started actively being a faggot back at her.

For some reason the Space Pirates made a space dragon a high ranking officer. Well, he's more efficient than most of them, so. They still have to rebuild him every other game because Samus keeps killing him.

>date a cute transgirl.

One's they actually look like girls and have a proper looking vagina. Maybe. They'd have to start giving off the right pheromones so I feel attracted in person as well though.
>>381061187
He ate them in front of baby Samus and then bragged to adult Samus about how his special regegeration abilities mean there's a good chance that the cells that make up her parents now make up his butthole.
>>381061261
It is entirely possible for the BBG to smash all pillars at the very first transformation, depriving you of the healing intended by the designers.
The fight is factually mechanically designed poorly. It is egregiously hard for no reason. It doesn't even have its own model, it's just a pallet swap of an earlier fight. If that is the proper difficulty then fine but then every other boss in the game with perhaps the exception of the Spiderball Guardian is bad then, making it an even WORSE design choice.

but if one of his tuesdays was killing some poor girl's parents, doesn't that make him a total dick?

Pheromones change when you start HRT. The rest is basically what any remotely sane transgirl would want.

In terms of internal core staff I'd argue most likely on that one.
Xenoblade's Metal Face, Earthbound's Porky Minch, Paper Mario's Dimentio, and Eternal Darkness' Pious Augustus are all contenders for that title

Exactly

He was always a dick, but he didn't start targeting Samus specifically until after she killed him once. Prior to Metroid 1 his faggotry was indiscriminate.

>sane transgirl
these words cant be used together

Porkey at least realized what he did was wrong. He's more childish rather than coldhearted, all of the people he ends up killing die not because he wanted them dead, and instead die because he couldn't foresee what his creations would do.
Also he was brain fucked by Giygas.

Mother 3 has him at his worst

Can anyone tell me what Metroid manga pic related is from?
>>381061584
Can someone make a Master Chief version of this?
>>381062202
The official one.

That's what I mean by "He couldn't foresee what his creations would do"
He's a fucking child who's just bored and wants to fuck around with nature and robots. Also time-travel fucked up his age and mind a bit. He never killed someone or tried to kill someone deliberately that wasn't in a fit of childish rage. Ridley knows full well the repercussions of his actions and does them just to be an asshole. Porkey does it because he's bored.

>>381061837
