The Metroid Queen fight is redone to be more than just a fight versus the head. I hated Other M, but one of my favorite parts in that game was the Queen fight where you had to fight it and it's children. Morph balling all the way down to its stomach was also more satisfying in that game.

Metroid Prime is still the best thing to ever happen to this series in recent years. Prove me wrong.

''I hope so. I hope we don’t disappoint them. That’s always my fear, because I think everything we do sucks. But that’s just me because I thought all the Prime games suck. At the end of the day all I see are all the bad things. Prime 2 was a blur to me. It was so quick, it was so fast. That thing just went out the door and it was a very divisive game. People either liked it or thought it sucked, and I can completely agree because I couldn’t tell you what that game was because it happened so quickly. Prime 1 was the best designed game. Prime 3 I feel is the most fun one to play. Prime 2 is divisive. You either like it or you don’t. That’s kind of the way I look at it.''

I don't like metroid prime 2, in fact, i think it sucks. It's the only metroid game that i forced myself to play but i couldn't bother to finish it.
Super > Prime > Zero mission > Prime 3 > Fusion > Prime 2 > Other m.
And yes, i finished other m.

Nah, Prime series is Tanabes
Most devs who worked on Prime don't work at Retro/Nintendo anymore.

>>381212820
Well hopefully they're just working on another DK then since that team did that well.
Whoever is making Prime 4 really needs to study Prime 1 especially.

>>381207107
No, Sakamoto handles all the 2D Metroid games (and Other M).

Kensuke Tanabe is main guy in charge of Metroid Prime.

>>381212820
That makes me somewhat nervous but I think they'll manage. There's not much room for error here, they only have to copy Prime 1-3 gameplay, make a few additions and design a competent map. Just keep Sakamoto and his "muh storytelling" bullshit as far away as possible.

>>381206779
The NA version is better.

>>381213567
Sakamoto deals with the 'mainline' Metroid games and Tanabe has control over the Prime series.

>>381213567
Well supposedly Retro isn't working on Prime 4 at all. We have no idea who is going to make it, can't even quite go off the "well, they nailed Donkey Kong" thing.

>>381213710
That's probably flipped now and he knows it. Now he's remaking a Metroid game he didn't even make originally on the handheld while Prime 4 is going to certainly be considered the mainline one.
He can probably still make a decent game, Samus Returns looks good, but that's what happens when you're so god damn out of touch with why people liked your shit and make Other M. He's George Lucas.

That's an interesting discussion about costs, seeing how Other M/Samus Returns are both outsourced, but by core I meant 'numbered' (1, II, Super, IV/Fusion, V/Other M)

>>381211517
Sakamoto is a fucking hack, his only real credit was Super Metroid. He did fuck all for Metroid 1, he didn't participate in the development of Metroid 2, Zero Mission was not an original game, Fusion was good but it was also a predecessor of Other M. Sakamoto wanted Metroid to be a linear adventure game was an entire cast of characters and Samus being a weak scared girl constantly talking to herself about Adam and other stuff no one cares about. There's a reason why every game he worked on since Super was getting more and more handholdy (even Zero Mission always told you where to go even though there was literally no point in doing so).

>>381214349
I know what you mean. But I feel like the Prime games were so good that they should just be considered the mainline ones, like what happened with Mario and Zelda when going 3D. After Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, the 2D Mario and Zelda games were then considered the spinoffs.

>>381214496
>He did fuck all for Metroid 1

He was the co-director.

>Zero Mission was not an original game

I mean, it basically was. It borrows a few elements from Metroid 1 but for the most part, it has its own layout, bosses, etc.

It's not like they took Metroid 1 and prettied up the sprites or anything like that.

>>381214517
>the 2D Mario and Zelda games were then considered the spinoffs.
Is that true?

>>381214517
Exactly. No matter what Sakamoto says, no one puts Fusion above Prime.

The light suit is my all-time favorite.
The Samus Returns varia suit is quickly becoming one of my favorites though. I love basically everything about the redesign and hope it becomes the new standard. The sleeker visor, the helmet being more bird-like, the giant fucking shoulders making her silhouette more imposing, the shape of the arm cannon, the additional lights and vents, etc. Good stuff.

>favourite weapon
Diffusion Missiles. I hope they make a comeback in Metroid 5 whenever that happens.

>hopes for Prime 4
I'm one of those weirdos who loved both Echoes and Corruption more than the original, so not many. As long as the new team has strong environment design and puts a good new spin on the FPS Metroid formula I have no gripes.

If anything, I just hope they use the power of the Switch to make door loading faster and the average room bigger in size. It'd let them increase Samus' speed significantly, since in Prime that's a compromise based on the level layout. Also, don't tack on a cliffhanger ending like Corruption did so we don't have to wait another 10 years for a follow-up.

>opinions on SR
It's looking great. The new combat features seem to make fighting Metroids a hell of a lot more interesting, which is good considering Metroid II is basically a boss rush.

You misunderstand. Whether or not it is ostensibly a QTE or an actual QTE is irrelevant. It takes away control too long from the player. This is irksome because we already have games with combat systems that don't do this.

Same here. Just noticed they removed the standard version of the game from my country's amazon, hopefully when they put it back up there'll be the special edition as well

>>381228685
It works from a narrative/storytelling perspective because it establishes the Metroids as the dominant species who wiped out most life on the planet. From a gameplay perspective, however, it might get a bit dull and monotonous. We'll have to wait and see if the Metroid fights feel fresh throughout before passing judgment though.

>>381229332
You're missing the context of that quote. He's talking about redesigning enemies from the original game and making sure that they're still recognisable to people who played it.

>>381229559
Why not all 3? II while extremely dated has such good atmosphere imo. The music is bad but it sorta makes the environments feel that much more devoid and creepy.

Not to rain on the parade but now that Metroid is coming back in the era of social media I wonder how long it takes before TUUUUUBES are finally appropriated by tumblr, twitter and all the other fags outside of 4chan

The thing about AM2R is that it was really fucking good, they wanted to make a Zero Mission tier remake and that's exactly what they did. It looks great, it plays great and new bosses are really fun. Many people fear that SR will not have the same level of polish and quality. Unlike AM2R, which was made by a group of talented fans, this game is being made by some literal whos famous for extremely mediocre Castlevania games.

>>381229829
I was referring specifically to the remakes but yeah Metroid II is also a great game and definitely worth playing. Don't pass it up just because there are remakes. In fact I would say the original does a few things better than AM2R, in terms of atmosphere and horror elements.

I may be wrong but it looks like you could theoretically fight any of the enemies without using melee if you want. I'm sure there will be lots of "no melee" runs attempted if that's the case.

I do believe they said it was optional, but I'm still wary. Maybe because it was suggested by Mercury Steam. I'm certainly doing a no melee run.

I mean, Retro Studios were a bunch of literal whos before Prime came out.

Anyways Samus Returns's director and level designer actually comes from Japan, and he previously was the system director and a game designer for Fusion and a level designer for Zero Mission. Outside of the melee attack thing, MercurySteam seem to just mostly be doing programming/coding.

If it counts as a weapon, then the Speed Booster. In terms of beam upgrades, it would probably be the Hyper Beam from Super Metroid.

>hopes for Prime 4
I enjoyed all the Prime games but I generally prefer the 2D games and Prime 1 felt the closest to a 2D Metroid in terms of design. The thing I prefer about the 2D games is that Samus has great movement and speed, which is something that I believe to be impossible to translate into a 3D game without hindering the level design (particularly in a game with a first person perspective). But what the Prime games do excel at is immersion and atmosphere, so I hope they focus on that for Prime 4.

>opinions on SR
Most of what I've seen looks good so far. One of my complaints about Metroid II (and by extension, AM2R) was the map layout but this game seems to be completely redesigning the maps (even more drastically than Zero Mission did) and the map designs are being done by a veteran. The music is being done by veterans too and we've seen that the start of the game contains no text or dialogue, which means they're toning it down with the story.

I have a couple of slight concerns though. I have no problem with a melee counter or free-aiming being in the game, after all Samus is the best bounty hunter in the galaxy so it seems ridiculous that she has trouble killing a tiny creature that is right next to her. But the melee counter does seem to be very lenient and powerful, which could trivialise the combat. Also, we've seen the upgrade screen and it seems to confirm that one of the series' established power-ups won't be returning (and by the placement of the items that have already been acquired, it looks like the Speed Booster won't be returning). However, we still don't know the fourth Aeion ability so that could serve the same function as the "missing" upgrade.

>tfw no Alien:Isolation metroid game
That would be glorious. Both Super and Fusion had this "you are all alone in space" feeling.

>>381233697
It's entirely up to you. Zero Mission is sort of designed to be someone's first Metroid game with the Chozo statues that tell you where to go. It's also, in my opinion, a much better game since Samus feels a lot better to control.

As for the original Metroid's difficulty, I personally felt that the only difficult parts of the game were the boss battles. The fact that you don't start off with full health or missiles made the game more tedious than it made it difficult.

>>381233656
>The thing I prefer about the 2D games is that Samus has great movement and speed, which is something that I believe to be impossible to translate into a 3D game without hindering the level design (particularly in a game with a first person perspective).
I think it's possible, but they'd have to completely change the level design in terms of platforming in order to accommodate the change to speedier gameplay where you might have more maneuvers at your disposal, like wall-jumping off of any wall (instead of the lame shit in MP2 and 3). I mean, Mirror's Edge has something similar and Overwatch has heroes that are extremely fast, can boost around, can wall-climb, wall-jump, etc. So did the past few CoD games and Titanfall. Granted, most of those are linear or multiplayer games but there's no reason why they can't translate that sort of thing into an interconnected, single-player 3D game world either.

Looks good. The artstyle seemed a bit generic at first, but it's really growing on me. I imagine it will look good in 3D. I especially love the Varia suit re-design. The focus on combat is cool. That's something I wouldn't want to see in Prime 4, but there was something satisfying about seeing Samus kick ass like that in Other M, and it's cool to see it return here.

Did AM2R not have the grapple beam or did I just miss it?

It turns out is is very boring. I know action isn't the main atraction of the Metroid saga, exploration is. But this game's maps are vety lineal so no exploration, and is heavy in easy, boring puzzles. Even the enemies feel safe.

>>381235564
It was always intended to be a Metroid spin-off from day one, at least according to Tanabe. There's no reason not to believe him because Nintendo has never been shy about saying when new IPs were retooled into existing IP games before.

I feel like the only fucking person who hates Prime Hunters. It took everything that was unique about Samus and gave it to everybody. Oh, she has a power suit and an arm cannon? So do the space pirates, the federation, an entire species, and a fucking rock. She can get smaller and roll into an energy ball and get into small spaces whil dropping bombs? Hey! So can everyone else, and if they can't, they can get smaller and do the same exact shit!

I hope Sylux doesn't came back for that reason alone. Samus should be a uniquely powered being that the Space Pirates don't understand because of bird magic. Her morph ball should be a unique enigma.

Speaking of AM2R, there's a really good critique of it. It's a bit harsh and I don't agree with everything they said, but it goes into depth of AM2R's shortcomings and where the original Metroid II succeeded. If you have some free time, check it out.

>>381236957
Not him, but one of the big changes is that in the NA version, the Space Pirates very briefly managed to capture Metroid Prime. It broke out immediately, but before it absorbed all their weapons and shields. It was meant to clue the player in that Metroid Prime had the shifting defenses and different elemental weapons thing, but opened a plot hole in that the Pirates couldn't get past the barrier around the Impact Crater. The PAL version patches that hole, but now Metroid Prime mysteriously has those weapons without explanation.

The other big thing is Chozo Lore, which used to have all this cool stuff with the Chozo having prophecies that Samus would come to restore the planet. They refer to her as "the hatchling" and a few pieces of lore are addressed to her specifically, implying that the Chozo left those upgrades just for her because they knew she was coming. PAL version gets rid of that in favor of more generic "a light is coming in the future." Not hugely important, but it was cool as shit to explore the Chozo-Samus relationship through scans. I think there was also some more stuff about Metroid Prime's origin that got messed with?

IIRC, anyway. I've played both and they kind of blur together after a while.

Yeah honestly, I think SR and MP4 will both be pretty big successes. There's so much hype now that Metroid is more well-known than ever before thanks to Smash, not to mention all the fan interest all over the internet. People are curious. I think this shows that, for more niche franchises like Metroid, if you actually deliver on what people actually want in the franchise, by actually satisfying what fans want, you'll have a big success on your hands. I hope Nintendo and other companies will learn from this and have greater confidence in pushing stuff like F-Zero, Advance Wars, Devil May Cry, etc.

>>381238292
>think SR and MP4 will both be pretty big successes.
Hahahahahahahaha

Oh you poor, naive fool.

Is there any other series where its games are often the best on the system?

>this is copypasta now

I'd be willing to bet if these guys ever come back they'd get redesigns to differentiate them more. Trace, Kanden, Spire, and Noxus have race based transformation, and only Spire is a ball. Trace and Kanden transform into insects and I don't know what the deal with Noxus is. They'd probably get bigger were they to come back. Meanwhile Weavel is just cutting himself in half and Sylux is a deliberate copy of Samus' stuff so he's the only one that can really get away with that.

They'd probably drop the arm cannons? I dunno, those just seem like something everyone has now.

"Big" relative to niche games in general. Have you seen the hype online for these games? Sites like Best Buy, Gamestop, Amazon, etc.keep on running out of preorders because people keep on preordering it. Wouldn't surprise me if the game did at least a million.

Pre-orders don't mean shit. Pre-orders and sales within the first month are where you get all of the easy customers. The true measure of success for a game regarding sales is if it continues to sell for months after the launch window.

>>381234061

What craven savages are the Ing! Trapped in the catacombs with no chance of rescue, I fought them to the last. I watched them feed upon their dead. I heard them pressing the lesser of their number into the front ranks, that my blasts would take them. At least their leader stood against me in battle. He was a foe worthy of a Luminoth warrior.

>Let this be the final testament of warrior C-Rch. I have no more shells for my weapons. For the enemy, I have naught but the blade and fist. Let them come. They wait in the works, hissing and slithering like beasts. Let them. When my war cry comes, there will be a dread, final reckoning. Come forth, hated enemy. Let there be an end!

>It is inside me. I feel it spreading, clawing at my will, tearing at my thoughts. It moves me against my will, to this cavern. Here it will end. I do not wish this, do not want my body to become a weapon for the Ing within me. It hates. It demands obedience. I will fight to the end. I shall self-terminate before I will be a pawn of a filthy Ing.

Why are the Luminoth such badasses tho

I think they might sell well based on the "OMG METROID'S BACK" hype. It happened before, Metroid Prime and Fusion sold 2.84 million and 1.60 million respectively.

Problem is, as >>381219174 shown, the Metroids that came afterwards didn't sell quite nearly as much. So who knows what will happen to the series after SR and MP4.

One thing I hope Samus Returns improves over AM2R: I want it to be fucking spooky. AM2R was a much more comfortable experience from the original Metroid II and I want SR to recreate that haunting, oppressive atmosphere from the original.

>>381238702

I prefer Prime 1's way. Prime 3 was just a checklist. Prime 1 actually took you around the world one last time, and showed you just how much it opened up. Makes you feel like you've come a long way, being able to cross every obstacle like it's nothing.

>>381239475
not in bongistan

>>381239641
I think the oppressive atmosphere wasn't exactly intentional but a side effect of Samus' large sprite and lack of map.

>>381239676
>Prime 3 was just a checklist.
But it was actually something that made sense. Energie cores and reviving this dead ship. Logically the keys and puzzles really make little sense in prime 1.

>>381239593
>Problem is, as >>381219174 shown, the Metroids that came afterwards didn't sell quite nearly as much. So who knows what will happen to the series after SR and MP4.
This is my fear. I don't want the series to die again for another 8 freaking years.

>>381238014
>Imagine a choked, half-flooded tunnel that suddenly opens into a vast dome-shaped cavern, hundreds of meters tall and hundreds across. In the center of this cathedral-like cavern, a windowless tower of black stone rises from a lake of slowly dying magma. Past the millennia-sealed blast doors of the tower, ancient weapons of terrible power are locked away. The outer walls of the black tower are honeycombed with the burrows of horrific creatures, and a sickly, alien growth has crept from the many side-tunnels of the cavern and covered parts of the walls with barbed and twisted organic blades.

>Okay, now light it up with fluorescent lighting and monitor screens, fill the tower with cheerful-looking maintenance robots hovering about their business, and play an upbeat techno song over it. From At the Mountains of Madness to Revenge of the Sith, just like that.

>>381239641
>>381239779
I wouldn't expect it. Zero Mission didn't exactly have the same bleak atmosphere of the original Metroid.

>>381239791

The Prime 3 way was the most rational from an ingame perspective I suppose. The Prime 1 way was a bit video gamey but still made sense.

But in the end it's about what it means for gameplay.

I really hope we get a post fusion game.
I'll be absolutely joyed if Prime 4 is post fusion.

>>381240642
Don't worry, it won't be.

>>381239641
The original Metroid 2 is the only game in the series that makes me go 'oh shit! a metroid!'

>>381240090
Gameplay I also like 3 the most. If you like collecting you can and get the entire ship "working" but if you don't like the key hunt at the end and you know what you are doing you can just use the correct energie cores and speedrun that shit.

I've been replaying am2r this time in hard mode but the metroid battle are just tedious, not enjoying this at all the second way around

>>381240916
Yeah, the Metroid battles are among the worst parts of AM2R. Hopefully SR fixes that.

>>381240847
Super Metroid Redesign: Axeil Edition does that for me.
Those fuckers are actually dangerous, unlike larva Metroids in the real 2D games.

>>381240642
I imagine if SR and MP4 do well enough then we'll probably end up getting a Fusion sequel.

Tanabe says he wants Metroid Prime 4 to have a time-shifting mechanic. Thoughts on that?

Why does Samus feel so weak in Fusion? I've just got the Wide Beam and I still feel like she takes too much damage and lacks something in general.

>>381242128
worried. Time shifting can mean a lot of things though.

Time travel doesn't seem very fitting. Also the introduction of time travel destroys lore. AND it means you don't have to tell the story of the world through "Journals" since you can just show it.

>>381242224

Because that's the point. Samus is weak in Fusion, Samus is being hunted.

>>381242128

I think he meant that it would be one world with past and present states, similar to the timeshift stones in Skyward Sword.

Do you think they'll make the later Metroid stages weak to the Ice Beam in Samus Returns? In the original Metroid II, all evolutionary stages beyond the infant stage lost their immunity to the Ice Beam. But then in Fusion, the Omega Metroid was vulnerable to the Ice Beam.

>>381243232
In one of the demos, the Alpha Metroid boss got its nucleus frozen. It could still move and fly around, though, so I'm not sure what exactly it did. Might have increased damage or something, but we do have confirmation that the Ice Beam does have an effect on them.

>>381243232
If that happened, then the Other M plot hole of "breeding Metroids with cold invulnerability" would be fixed.

>>381243359

>>backtracking awful due to 3d platforming and environments not well designed for it
git gud

>>381243232
The Treehouse streams already confirmed that the first three evolutionary stages have become vulnerable. I have no doubt that the Omega has also become vulnerable in order to line up with Fusion.
The Queen is another story. Who knows what they'll do with her. I can't even remember if it was vulnerable to beam shots in Other M.

If anyone here is into capeshit movies and TV, I think Prime's canon status works the same way the MCU Netflix and TV shows work. They are technically canon to the movies but don't expect the movies to ever acknowledge them because the TV and movie departments at Marvel are two separate sections that never interact with each other.

>>381244223
>that pic

LOL

>>381244564
Nothing really important happened in Prime that needs to be referenced.
Fusion is a different beast.

What does Prime being canon or not cannon actually mean for a new metroid game?

>>381243791
The Queen was invulnerable to the Ice Beam in Other M. Also, the Big Metroid at the end of Super Metroid was also invulnerable to the Ice Beam. It could be the case that Metroids that are capable of evolving into Queens are not vulnerable to cold.

>>381244713
The Baby being one of the rare Metroids with the genetic makeup to become a Queen is one of the only bits of lore that Other M added which I liked.

>>381244709
Something significant needs to happen between the original Metroid/Zero Mission and Metroid II/Samus Returns so that the Galactic Federation have a reason to wipe out all Metroids from existence. That's something the Prime series will eventually have to explain.

>>381244713
If that were the case then all the Metroids featured in Super and Other M would be invulnerable, since they were all cloned from the Baby.

>>381245015
I can see the galactic federation after any metroid game saying "okay we should do something about these fucking things"

Cloning via beta-radiation may not produce identical copies. The intentional method of reproducing Metroids was the Queen birthing them. Beta-radiation seems to have side-effects and the Space Pirate's attempts to genetically clone them resulted in Mochtroids.

I'm starting to wonder if Metroid was never dead and we were just overreacting. Nintendo never acted like Metroid didn't exist before - there were always Samus and Metroid references popping up in other games, for instance.
