Samus Returns

What if it's terrible?

>>382143087
I can care less about Prime 4, but I'm buying this so Metroid Dread could be released on the 3DS in the same year as Prime 4, 2019.

It won't be.

Already have that bitch preordered. Shit's going to be so cash.

It's also going to be the first Metroid game I actually get to play on release, so that's going to be very fun for me.

>>382143087
But I'm genuinely excited for both games and have Samus Returns pre-ordered.

Retard. It would be in the same position if it were in Retro's hands due to the simple fact that the Prime developers are no longer at the company.

Simply looking at the "Features" category will show you that they know what the hell they're doing.

>>382143087
already preordered it nigga

what if we get a metroid prime tetralogy release? just imagine all of metroid prime and portable

I'm cautiously optimistic. Sakamoto and MercurySteam make me a very wary, but I'm that desperate for a new Metroid.

>>382147767
I know right, looking at Samus Returns gameplay, the dev diary, and his interviews on IGN, Gamespot, and Kotaku tells me that he's moved away from the direction of Other M and isn't going back, so I have hope that the series will be good again. The game also has an intro showing Samus fight with Mother Brain in Metroid/Zero Mission.

pre-ordered and waiting

Notice how Sakamoto keeps trying to remove Samus’s suit? Zero Mission completely removed Samus’s suit and made her ninja. Fusion new Samus was removing her suit (they cut it off). In Other M, Samus cutscenes and all were about Samus as a woman.

Metroid games are a story, but it is a story about the suit. The SUIT starts off with nothing and is crappy. But the SUIT gets stronger, better, and you can even upgrade it to VARIA suit (ooohhhhh) or GRAVITY suit (aaaaaahhhhhh). When you get missile and energy tank upgrades, you are getting SUIT upgrades!

The hero is the suit. Samus happens to be the pretty girl inside it. Even the Metroids aren’t that interesting as they have to keep evolving and mutating (Metroid 2, etc.) in order to keep up with the growing-in-power SUIT.

>>382148253
I think you mean Metroid Samus Returns, there's also a possibility that Metroid Prime 4 will have to compete with Metroid Dread when that's made for the 3DS and released in the same year.

This is it. SR is always and forever going to be compared, almost certainly completely unfavorably, to AM2R. No one trusts Nintendo with the franchise anymore for good reason and the fact that one dude's fangame is a better Metroid II remake than anything modern Nintendo could ever hope to shit out is sobering.

But Fusion was awful at least as a Metroid game. It kept shutting you out of everything that never felt organic to the game and it kept forcing the story in your face. Zero Mission was great but never really loved the last part on the ship.

>>382147713
>I'd much rather play the superior AM2R.
Why not both? They look sufficiently different from each other.

>>382148976
In 1991, Cafe Nintendo makes a chocolate chip cookie. People like this chocolate chip cookie.

Over the decades, Chef Sakamoto keeps putting out chocolate chip cookies with more salt. The sales for Sakamoto’s salty cookies go down. Cafe Nintendo does not respond to the market. Instead, Cafe Nintendo keeps trying to sell Sakamoto’s increasingly salty cookies.

An amateur cook puts out a chocolate chip cookie with more chocolate. Everyone celebrates! If only Cafe Nintendo would put out chocolate chip cookie with more chocolate or, at least, without the salt.

Cafe Nintendo’s response is to send thugs to the amateur chef, bust up his kitchen, beat his ass, and destroy any existence of the chocolate chip cookie with more chocolate.

Cookie eaters are stunned. Why did Cafe Nintendo do this? “We are protecting our IP.” (IP stands for Intellectual Property which applies equally across products including cookies.)

The truth of this situation is that AM2R is not the issue. The truth of the situation is that IP is also not the issue.

This is all about one thing: Sakamoto.

Stop talking about AM2R. Talk about Sakamoto. Nintendo is circling the wagons around Sakamoto.

>>382149242
Fusion's last levels were top tier tho. The underwater levels were just the kind of annoyingly hard shit I wanted

>>382147767
Honestly, that's kind of a grab bag. Fusion blew as well as Other M, Super and Zero is fucking great, the original was terrible.

>>382149467
Original just had terrible animation.

I bet the team behind this will eventually re-relase this in HD for the Switch. They already did something similar for that mediocre Lords of Shadow sidescroller.

>>382149467
When you look at Metroid sales, the less influence Sakamoto has, the better the Metroid sells. Metroid Prime is the best selling Metroid game. “That is because,” huffs the hardcore, “people bought Metroid Prime thinking it was Halo. No one actually likes Metroid Prime.” And yet, Metroid Prime 2 sold over a million. On. The. Gamecube. For a game as difficult and mature as Metroid, the Gamecube is a tough platform to sell on. Metroid Prime 3 also sold over a million, and then its sales fell off a cliff due to the Trilogy version (people would just buy Trilogy instead of Prime 3 of course).

Metroid Prime Hunters also sold over a million. Imagine that!

The real reason why Metroid Zero Mission did not sell that well was because of how bad Fusion was and how bad Zero Mission was. Sakamoto does not know how to make Metroid games. There. I said it!

Even a game like Super Metroid is seen differently today than it was when it came out. I remember. I was there. Super Metroid was fairly disappointing to Metroid fans then, and it quickly entered the bargain bin. Months later, Donkey Kong Country came out and overshadowed it. Metroid went on recess due to Super Metroid. Super Metroid’s late popularity has more to do with how easy the game is compared to other games of its era. Super Metroid is like 16-bit NES Metroid but in Kiddie Mode. As a huge fan of Metroid, I never bought Super Metroid when it came out because I could beat the game in a rental. I did buy it when it was firesold at $20. The last battle with the giant Metroid and Dino Mother Brain was STUPID. But I am sure Sakamoto thinks it is so genius as he made a movie out of it in the intro cutscene of Other M.

The point is that what people say on the message forum doesn’t jive with reality of the real market. That same forum that Switch was ‘dead on arrival’ and had no good games for its launch lineup.

>>382149467
>Fusion blew as well as Other M
>the original was terrible
Get out

>>382143087
I already have Samus Returns pre-ordered. And for shits and giggles I downloaded all the old games again and have been playing through them all. About to fight Ridley in Zero Mission. Should I play Prime next or skip to Metroid II and play the 2D games first? I've beaten all the 2D ones and the first 2 Prime games. I didn't get a Wii so the Trilogy remake on Wii U is my only chance to experience 3.

>>382148636
I know you're not the real Malstrom, but man, the hateboner that aspie has for ANYTHING related to 3d Mario is unhealthy.

>>382143087
Metroid fans are for rude awakening.
Metroid is a niche series just like Star Fox.
Zero flopped hard despite being an excellent game. Same will happen with Metroid and the franchise is buried for a long time.

>>382149371
It just felt Sakamoto felt Metroid needed a strong story. And Fusion was him putting his feet in the water right after Other M. And turning the stream he talks about his reason to do Metroid 2 for a remake is to get people interested in the Baby Metroid. Which to him is what Metroid is about which is trying to build some sort of character arc around Samus. Which is fine but instead of having small scenes here and there to develop things out he decides to go all Kojima with way too long scenes.

>>382149607
They could but right now, Sakamoto has a boner for the 3DS so chances are Metroid Fusion's sequel will show up on the 3DS in 2019, the same year as Prime 4. Plus with both being on different platforms they won't really compete with one another.

I don't think that's necessarily true. Look at Fire Emblem Awakening, it revived the franchise, but people complained enough about the gameplay that they made it better in Conquest.

He was the Director of the Original Metroid, just like Super, Fusion, Zero Mission, and Other M.

I really want to know what Retro is doing. Personally the DKC games they made were the only good DKC games I actually liked. But I'm one of the few that never really enjoyed a Rare game.

Metroid Prime 1 personally is the only good Metroid Prime game. 2 could have been great but man the dark world sucked all enjoyment I had for that game. And 3 just never felt right as a Metroid game with you just traveling around the different worlds interacting with different hunters. I mean I like how they wanted to expand things but there was no interconnection that I look for in a Metroid game.

I'm not saying they're bad, anon. Tropical Freeze is on the same level as DKC2.

My personal headcanon was that the Kremling Krew actually kept the Snowmads in check by being the dominant force of the sea. With K. Rool out of the picture thanks to DK, the Snowmads could actually start conquering the Northern Kremisphere.

probably the Switch since the next mainline Pokemon game is coming for it. When Pokemon comes to the Switch in 2019, then it will be over for the 3DS. The good news is we will get to play Metroid 6 in HD and since MercurySteam is good at transferring a 240p game to HD I can see Nintendo not having too much trouble doing that. I'm hoping after Dread, they don't have to rebuild the engine because that will take some years to finish.

>>382150806
They most likely ending or already ended their funding for 3DS games (outside of publishing). I'm guessing we will be seeing some 3DS games here and there in the Direct like with the last one (not counting E3). Plus there's other developers/publishers like Atlus who are bringing over Etrian Odyssey V and SMT SJ remake next year.

You're a steaming pile of garbage, the original Metroid is great, it may have aged but it's still fun to play and beat, just because you suck at it doesn't mean the game is shit, it just takes time and patience.

>>382150997
I always feel weird saying it because DKC has it's fans and I 100% get it. But the few times I played them I hated it. Everything felt wrong to me between hit boxes, the weird "3D" platforms just felt off where to land, really badly hidden secrets, ect. But like I said that's just me and I know I'm alone but when Microsoft was showing off Rare Replayed all I could think of is just how bad all of them played to me.

There's a lot of people that have issue with Fusion as well. So when the last 2 games are seen as not that great people worry. I mean there's Zero Mission which is fantastic but people tend to love looking at what they hate over what they love.

>>382151582
It's not bad though, it's the product of the NES limitations. I loved the maze like world and the fact that it's the only Metroid game that is truly opened.

>>382151491
So if this game turns out to be really good, Sakamoto and MS redeemed?

Sakamoto destroyed the ‘storyline’ of Metroid with Fusion.

Sakamoto retconned Metroid with Zero Mission.

Sakamoto nearly destroyed the IP with Metroid: Other M.

And now here is the great new Metroid game from failed developer, Sakamoto. The marketers are trying to downplay Sakamoto. “Isn’t that the guy who directed, wrote, and produced Metroid: Other M?” “Yes,” quickly whispers the marketer, “but everyone deserves one mistake.” What about the other abominations of Metroid games he has made such as Fusion? “Let us focus on how he made Metroid and Super Metroid.” No, he didn’t. Those were Gunpei Yokoi games. Kano was the producer for Metroid 1, 2, and Super Metroid. But you don’t hear about Yokoi or Kano because they aren’t at the company any longer so they aren’t useful for PR purposes.

Sakamoto had nothing to do with Metroid 2: Return of Samus on Gameboy.

Did you know that, reader? Metroid 2 was done by Gunpei Yokoi but directed by Kimura (who was the character designer of Super Mario Brothers 3) and Kiyotake(the one who designed the Wario Land games).

The 3DS game is being marketed as a new ‘2d Metroid games’ because Nintendo wants to satisfy its fans. I call bullshit.

This 3DS game is all about Sakamoto. With Samus Returns, Sakamoto gets another stab at his mission to turn Metroid into a 2.5 game (which he attempted to do with Other M) despite the fact that no one asked for a 2.5 Metroid. We want 2d or 3d Metroid, not 2.5 Metroid. There is also no reason why this game cannot be simultaneously ported on the Switch unless Sakamoto insists on utilizing the 3d aspects of the 3DS (which he will, just watch!).

>>382152013
the only game that destroyed the storyline was other M

Modern art is something wild. I consider sucking dick an art form. When someone tells me to suck his dick I view it as an honor and a privilege. Not to mention an opportunity to show off my unparalleled dick sucking skills. Most of the time, the man puts up quite the struggle and yells at me that he didn't mean it literally. But I see straight through that ruse. When I finally free that dick from his pants and place it inside my mouth everything changes. The look of blissful ecstasy on his face reaffirms what I already hold true in my heart. This is what I was born to do. Dick is my medium and I am its master. No homo.

>>382143087
Awakening was the final nail in the coffin for Fire Emblem. The games had been getting progressively worse, and now they're fucking awful

Sakamoto intends to RETCON THE HELL OUT OF METROID 2. Be prepared. The Sakamoto worshippers, most of which are probably Nintendo marketers, will come out of nowhere and declare, “This is now the ‘true story’ of Metroid 2.” He will provide origin stories for Chozo and all that no one cares about, similar to how Ridley Scott provides origin for the xenomorph that didn’t need one.

Sakamoto is also the probable reason why Retro will not make another Metroid Prime. There has been public clashes with Retro and Sakamoto. Retro has told stories about how they would do something but receive all this weird feedback from Japan. At one point, they wanted the premise of Metroid Prime 3 to be Samus traveling to different planets because she is a bounty hunter (which said she was in the original manual to Metroid). Sakamoto had a cow over this. “SHE IS A HERO!!!” he would scream. I personally blame Sakamoto for the design fences that the Metroid Prime games were forced to be in.

The three big NES titles that endured were Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. What do all three have in common? In 8-bit standards, they offered OPEN WORLDS.

We all know about Zelda 1 and 2 being open worlds. But Zelda 1 was made simultaneously by the same developers as Super Mario Brothers. Super Mario Brothers had an ‘open world’ as much as 1985 technology could allow. Mario having a map screen with much larger levels (Super Mario Brothers 3) further shows the Open World is where Mario belongs.

But Metroid 1 was very much an ‘Open World’ as could be seen in 1986. In a market filled with arcade games or abstract RPG or strategy PC games, Metroid was a real scale open world platformer similar to Mario. But unlike Mario, Metroid was HARD and was COMPLETE SCI-FI.

>>382150126
This image made me realize that Metroid has the setup to be an H-Game without even trying.

>>382152013
>Let us focus on how he made Metroid and Super Metroid.” No, he didn’t. Those were Gunpei Yokoi games

If you're going to say those are Gunpei Yokoi games, then Fusion and Zero Mission are Takehiro Izushi games. And Yokoi didn't even Produce Super Metroid so that's a Kanoh game. Yokoi only produced Metroid and Metroid 2.

I think there are a large number of people who will never forgive Sakamoto for that ever. Plus it's not like he's really learned a lesson, he's just being kept on a short leash. He retconned Other M Samus and the Other M ZS into Samus Returns, I'm pretty sure that if he really had complete freedom it would be much more story heavy.

>>382154093

That's kind of my feeling of it. Fusion was him trying out a fairly story heavy Metroid and people tend to have different opinions on the gameplay but everyone seem to agree that they felt the story really was too forced and moronic. Other M was just Fusion just to an insane level and caused everyone to hate every moment.

Hell maybe the reason Metroid Prime 4 is being done in house is because it lets Nintendo not only make the Metroid game but also not have Sakamoto work on it since Prime is not his game while the mainline is.

The fact that there's anything related to Other M in it will probably piss off some people. They want a complete separation from it which will obviously never happen at least while Sakamoto is in charge, which will just piss them off further.

>>382154393
Who cares

>>382155051
They should just ignore Other M and act like it doesn't exist. That's what I do, if I don't like a game I act like it never happened especially if it's never mentioned again and then I treat the better game like it was the first to have it.

Didn't Sakamoto acknowledged the problems with Other M and removed it from canon after Samus Returns was revealed?

>>382156160

>>382150487
He was absolutely not the director of Metroid, that was Satoru Okada. Sakamoto was a fucking art grunt who didn't even have anything to do with designing Samus.

>>382158020
>downplaying Sakamotos role

Easy there Primefag

>>382158274
Anon, don't be a dipshit, this is in the credits for the game. Gunpei Yokoi produced, Satoru Okada directed it, Sakamoto was on the art team. Makoto Kanō created Samus while Hiroji Kiyotake designed her.

>>382156365
I don't know about removing it from canon but he did acknowledged its mistakes and ignored it when he talked about 2D Metroid in the dev dairy trailer. He stated that Samus Returns was the first 2D Metroid in 13 years after Zero Mission.

>>382158418
Not him but Satoru Okada was a Co-Director, Sakamoto was the other Co-Director, stop revisioning history. Sakamoto made Metroid NES map.

>>382153346

>>382160249
>Regardless, you, dear Nintenbro, are clearly upset that people don't want to ignore the superior game. So don't throw stones in glass houses.
But all of Nintendo's 2D Metroid games are better.

>>382159796I played AM2R, and it was fucking awesome. I saw the trailer and gamplay for Samus Returns and I was really excited. While it's very possible AM2R will be superior, I can play Samus Returns wherever the fuck I want to. Both have their merits, stop complaining

>>382160460
No? AM2R is by and away the greatest 2D Metroid, and it isn't even official.

>>382160486
Nope. I refuse to stop complaining because Nintendo got spooked and tried to silence the competition. So long as AM2R is known, SR will be compared to it, and thus the competition will kill it and we can have good Metroid games instead of this shit.

By the way, yes, I count "No Metroid games again" as a good thing because at least then the franchise isn't defiled while drones like you eat it up.

>>382146791
i'm pretty sure a good number of people who worked on the prime games are still there. i'd feel more comfortable if retro studios decided to make prime 4, rather than a likely japanese team working on a western-made franchise. i'm pretty sure 4 will not be as good as the original trilogy. it'll pale in comparison

>>382160720
For as long as Super Metroid exists, every Metroid game in existence will be compared to it.
And yet we're still allowed to have many great Metroid games.

Seriously. What's your problem? Just try to enjoy the games.

>>382160720
Even the creator of AM2R agrees that Samus Returns looks good, and AM2R was only taken down because Nintendo heard about it after they started development for their version.
Here, take a look for yourself: http://nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-heard-about-am2r-after-metroid-samus-returns-development-started-creator-not-bitter/

AM2R isn't a Metroid game, it's a fan game, stop treating it as though it is one.

>>382160720
Cry more, faggot. Not your blog.

>>382160959

Holy fucking shit. How much does Nintendo pay you?

>>382160926
I don't care, the guy's clearly not the type who'll raise hell over it but that doesn't mean anything to me. He made a better game than SR and that's that.

>>382160959
Probably the only reason I like fusion is because it was the first Metroid game I ever played, although I do agree that others are superior. Metroid Zero mission was fun for me because it kept the faster gameplay from fusion whilst keeping the classic looking power suit and a nice artstyle. Never played other M but from gameplay I've seen it does indeed look shit

>>382143087

Spammable melee counters that instantly kill most basic enemies while initiating EPIC CINEMATIC MOVES with bosses and Aeon powers, one of which literally reveals a big section of the map around you doesn't seem to be exactly the kind of casualization that the series has suffered from?

>>382161234

Were we looking at the same trailer? Because it clearly is.

I can't tell who worse, Sean Malstrom, Cody, ACfag, FEfag, AM2Rfag, GF_Sybb, or ZSfag you're all cancer in your own way.

>>382161258
My point, is that you can't just stop complaining over the fact that nintendo is actually making a metroid game for once, whilst the creator of the game you worship so dearly (That even got taken down) is less butthurt than you.

>>382160959
Why do you hate fun?

>>382161505
The only cancer here is Sakamoto and the idiots who worship him without being able to articulate anything they actually like.

>>382161539
Your "point" is nonsensical. I don't care that Nintendo's making a shitty game with "Metroid" slapped on it, or that the creator is very clearly hoping to get a job with Nintendo/somebody else to escape his Argentinian hellhole and so wouldn't dare shittalk them like they deserve.

You saw the stream. You literally don't have it. It makes the boss fights easier to use them but not mandatory. And enemies dive bombed you all the fucking time in the other Metroid games. You just had to either know they are coming to shoot them or dodge them. Now you have a melee to quickly get rid of them.

It kinda is though

>>382162612
Surprise! Not everybody who complains is the same person, stop that. I think Fusion overdid it on the linearity but that doesn't mean that any linearity at all is a bad thing.

Again, AM2R/Metroid 2 is the gold standard of level design thus far because while it's more linear than other installments, each individual area is fairly open in how you approach them. I liken it to, say, Deus Ex or Crysis 1 in that regard.

>>382162838
I don't care if it's 60 fps because frankly that hasn't been industry standard in a very very long time

I assume it will be Switch for 4-5 years until the next console comes out and the Switch is slowly laid down to rest over the course of 1-2 years after that. Now that they united their handheld and console line they can't really afford to do the hard cut they used to do since it takes a year or two for a new console to get an install base and churn big profit and if they cut off their only other working arm they'd be sitting there with little to no money coming in.

I can see Switch lasting a good while longer. That is if Japan developers jump on it which I can see happening.

Fusion and Zero Mission were garbage, he was nothing more than an artist for the original Metroid, and Makoto Kano and Gunpei Yokoi were there to keep him in line.

Yokoi is dead, Kano is no longer with Nintendo, Hiroji Kiyotake is no longer with Nintendo, and Satoru Okada is no longer with Nintendo. Nobody is left to keep Sakamoto in check.

Yokoi and Kano were the manager and producer of Super Metroid, respectively.

Besides, Metroid II and Metroid Prime prove that Sakamoto is entirely unnecessary when it comes to making a good Metroid game.

>>382163953

>>382164154
I prefer the more interconnected world, but I still enjoy the somewhat linear worlds of metroid 2. There's a reason why AM2R is (Currently) my favourite metroid game

>>382164131
As someone who was around back then, I swear it was like they were the current being known as Dobson multiplied as different posters.

It was AWFUL. Pre-release was a bigger shitshow. "They're degrading Metroid into a pathetic Doom clone" was one that sticked with me for years out of the sheer idiocy. This was also a reason why Nintendo pushed the term "FPA- First Person Adventure."

Popularity isn't a metric of quality though. By that logic all niche games are automatically shit.

By looking at the footage.

>>382164960
And the Honda Civic is objectively a better car than a Ferrari.

How effective

>>382165557
You know that goes both ways right? If you're unable to judge a game before it's out you can't say it's good or worth buying either.

>>382165150
Sales quantify demand while return rates quantify customer satisfaction and are pretty much the only objective measures that can be made regarding video games.

For example, Super Metroid found its way into bargain bins from lack of demand months after it came out. It was rightly criticized at the time for being too easy and disappointing to Metroid fans, so it sold poorly compared to Metroid and Metroid II.

Because Retro wasn't a new studio when the first game came out, right?

>>382165597
But all you're doing is proving me right.

>Apple sells overpriced antiquated tech to people at a premium that is built like utter shit and will break under normal use
>HTC makes top of the line, mid grade, and low end phones that all hold up like tanks and rarely fail from even blatant abuse at a fair and competitive price point

Meanwhile Apple flourishes because people love buying over marketed bullshit based on that marketing, and don't give a shit about getting a good value.

Media and marketing have greatly distorted traditional market values, you can make superior or better value products than your competitors and still go bankrupt or fall in last place just like HTC is. The best phones I've had have both been Samsung or HTC.

If you need more examples look at Sennheiser, Fostex, and Audio Technica vs Beats by Dre. Beats are openly known as base heavy over priced garbage yet they control a vast majority of the market because most consumers are slaves to marketing. Nothing more. Sales has nothing to do with selling a quality product anymore, throwing money at marketing sells a game more than making a good one.

>>382165937
But what do you mean? From the footage Samus Returns looks better. Better sound design, better backgrounds, better enemy and boss design, newer content etc.

>>382166956
>Better x
Compared to... What? Metroid 2? It's certainly not compared to AM2R in just about all areas besides sound design, and Metroid 2 is better than BOTH there.

>>382167124
Yeah all of that, but better than AM2R.

And..get this, there's NOTHING you can do about it. Heh heh heh.

>>382167278
>Yeah all of that, but better than AM2R.
No, unless you're actually trying to tell me with a straight face that you think ''cinematic'' counters are a good thing.

>And..get this, there's NOTHING you can do about it. Heh heh heh.
Oh, I get it, you're trolling.
*unsheathes katana*

>>382167417
How does that fit into what I said?

>sound design
We've already see from the footage the sound and music is better than AM2R
>better backgrounds
A given, plus with the added 3D effects in really looks great
>Better Enemy and boss designs
The Metroids look great here and actually have a good variety of moves unlike AM2R where they had like 2 repetitive attacks. The Zeta particularly looks like a badass Xenomorph instead of a retarded T. rex. Arachnus actually camouflaged as an item unlike in AM2R where he just pops out.

>>382168006
>We've already see from the footage the sound and music is better than AM2R
No.

>A given, plus with the added 3D effects in really looks great
Wrong again. It looks like shit.

>The Metroids look great here and actually have a good variety of moves unlike AM2R where they had like 2 repetitive attacks.
In AM2R they had interesting arena design to make up for it. Here? It's just "Spam cinematic counters". Nowhere near as good.

You're a fucking spaz if you actually think that your idiotic "heh heh" is fitting on /v/. Back to whatever shithole you crawled out from, we're done here.

Man I can't wait for this game, feels good to see Metroid return to its roots in 2D, It's going to awesome when 2019 is a repeat of 2002 where Metroid 5 is released the same year as Metroid Prime 4.

But even if they did try, Fates fucked up in a plethora of other ways. Overall it's much worse than Awakening.

Again, nice argument
>In AM2R they had interesting arena design to make up for it. Here? It's just "Spam cinematic counters". Nowhere near as good.
Actually if you looked at the footage, you would realize you can only use the counter at specific intervals. And interesting arena design? Give me a break. Add a few spike pits here and there and call it a day.
>You're a fucking spaz if you actually think that your idiotic "heh heh" is fitting on /v/. Back to whatever shithole you crawled out from, we're done here.

>>382154884
OK this definitely proves the primes do some weird shit with room and camera scaling.

Any documentation on this?

Yup, but don't let /vg/ see you say that or they'll throw a shitfit.

>>382148971
Is this before a cutscene? I remember Other M doing something like this at least once before a cutscene.

>>382143087
They should sell really well even if they're shit. But it will probably be worse for the series if they're bad and still sell well...

See Fire Emblem for an example of what can go wrong.

If you do ISG and skip this cutscene instead of letting it play out, the other cutscene Samus model will freeze and stay in place. I left and reentered the room for the sake of the webm.

>>382168693
I don't know of any documentation, sorry. All I can tell you is that evidently, Retro made cutscene Samus taller than player Samus. The shorter low-res Samus is her model when you unmorph.

which is strange because i want to believe models/rooms are sized differently for cutscenes and gameplay for some reason.

I mean, U-Mos never looked huge until the very last cutscenes of echoes, and if retro went with taller cutscene models always, hmm, i need a cutscene shot with samus and pirate models.

Bump because I might have something for you in a moment.

HTC is shit and hasn't made a good phone in years. They're shit is overpriced as fuck while being absurdly bulky, lacking features, awful cameras, underpowered, etc. All just straight up shit.
iPhones may be expensive but they're fucking quality with top notch cameras, fastest hardware on the market, and great customer support.

HTC is dying and they deserve for pushing out shit products for years.

This disappoints me, this puts Samus actual height around the Pirates.

Have you considered that Apple makes products that do the job the best? People buy the products that do the job they want done in the best way. Your personal opinions as to what is "overpriced" or "a bad value" are irrelevant.

What is even going on with Samus Returns map

Wasn't Mirror of Fate ported to consoles? What are the odds of Samus Returns on Switch then? Probably small.

I've really grown to hate the 3DS screen after playing on my Switch for months now.

>>382179764
It was ported to PC. I don't know about consoles.

Prime 4 had better have 60fps both docked and portable, and it had better bring back the kickass multiplayer. otherwise the franchise can burn
