Just because there are some mini 3 second cutscenes in battle doesn't mean the battles are bad. I like what they add to the metroid fights.

Yes. Because I want more 2D Metroids.

the visuals look a bit bland and uninspired. atmosphere is pretty important in a metroid game. the sound design better be 11/10 to make up for it.

>>382469463
There will never be Metriod 5. Besides numbers was dropped with Super.

I expect them to remake Super and fusion eventually.

>>382467002
Not really. I'm actually kind of pissed that AM2R got nuked for this.

Anon unlike you I actually played Mirror of Fate, and I can tell you it was nothing like Samus Returns.

>>382469874
>Besides numbers was dropped with Super.
The opening sequence of Super literally calls it Metroid 3, and Fusion's opening sequence calls it Metroid 4.

>>382469874
>There will never be Metriod 5. Besides numbers was dropped with Super.
Shut the hell up, Sakamoto pretty already confirmed in an IGN interview that he's going back on that project. I'm pretty sure your first Metroid was Prime since you don't even know Super Metroid is Metroid 3 and Metroid Fusion is Metroid 4.

It looks great. Can't wait.

Three Metroid games in three years... wow. Now is such a great time to be a Metroid fan!

So you say.

If/when Metroid 5 happens, the game will be referred to as such internally, regardless of what it will be actually called.

>>382470653
Zero Mission is essentially "Metroid 5", it's as similar to Metroid as Super Metroid is to Metroid. Then there's Other M, which broke the linear story trend for a prequel.

>>382470937

Very excited.
The only thing that worried me a bit was that all of the rooms in the trailer looked kinda empty and linear, but the footage they showed during the Treehouse was already reassuring.

I'm not too convinced about the flashy takedowns. I wouldn't go as far as calling them "QTEs", but Metroid has always been about positioning and maneuvering, and this counterattack mechanic feels a bit antithetical to that.
Not that I think you'll be able to just sit your ass and kill a boss without ever moving, but it still feels like a weird inclusion.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

Although I've never played Mirror the of Fates and likely never will (more because I'm not a castlevania person), and I can't see the two games being very similar anyways, the people that said MoF was really bad makes me a little worried.

But I've been enjoying what I've seen so far. I like that we have proper 360 degree shooting now, and the counter could had some depth to the combat. The Aeon abilities are cool too and I'm glad that they're entirely optional, they'll make 100% completion not a huge fucking chore at the very least.

Honestly, what worries me most is balance. I mean, yeah, Samus has always been fairly overpowered, and the 2D games never really had incredibly challenging bosses (aside from Nightmare and Phantoon fuck you both), but I can easily see the Aeon abilities, mixed with the counter and 360 movement, breaking this game in half. And that's not even mentioning that they brought back Super Metroid's wall jump. If they add in Speedboost and Shinespark, (which they almost definitely will) this game might end up being more breakable than Super. At the very least I can see this game being a fun speed running game.

Not really. The original game was extremely linear, and given the direction taken with Fusion and Zero Mission, Samus Returns will probably be just as linear, if not more linear. Not being able to sequence-break these games just sucks all the replay value out of them.

Metroid games have always been pretty linear. Any nonlinearity in them was not by design. The only game in the series I would say might be intentionally nonlinear is Metroid 1, where you can do Ridley before Kraid without any difficulty.

By this logic Super Metroid had to be linear because Metroid 2 was.

I'm sure it will still be fairly linear because that's how the original game was designed, but I highly fucking doubt it would be more linear than Fusion, or even Zero Mission.

Anyone got their hands on the european limited edition?

>Metroid games have always been pretty linear. Any nonlinearity in them was not by design.
Super and ZM had nonlinearity by design. Super Metroid taught you sequence breaking techniques like the wall jump and shinespark through mini cutscenes with the etecoons and dachora. Zero Misison added several routes such as pic related which exist purely to let you beat the game out of order.

You're ignorant and uninformed, and you or people like you speak this bullshit in every thread.

>>382473197
>Metroid games have always been pretty linear.

Have you actually played any Metroid games? II and Fusion were the only linear games in the series. I haven't played Other M and I have no intention of doing so, so I can't comment on that. If I'm not mistaken, Prime had some sequence-breaks too.

If we're going to count ZM despite being a loose remake, it was fairly linear, although there were ways to sequence-break parts of the game. The methods were just exceptionally obtuse compared to Super.

By what logic? Your post is an incoherent comparison of sorts.

>>382473980

Prime's sequence breaks were unintentional and were patched out in later versions of the game.
The original US Gamecube release of Prime is by far the best version for that reason. Despite technically being glitches, they were still found by manipulating the environment and your momentum rather than arcane tricks and felt pretty organic because of that.

>>382473457

Speed Booster is out.

>>382474108
You're assuming that because the last game was linear to a degree, that this game must also be incredibly linear.

>>382473796
Super had nonlinearity by mistake.
The Dev team put the map together at literally the last minute and left a shitload of holes in the map for people to exploit because they couldn't find them all.
Zero Mission was absolutely intentional.

Not him, but both Super and ZM still ultimately required you to do a certain direction to get items. Sure, you COULD go about it a different way, but more often than not it wasn't the INTENDED way.
ZM's non-linearity was mostly just fan service, and even then it's still fairly linear.

But that is a valid observation. Nintendo has taken a specific trend with recent iterations of the series. Why should anyone assume this game will suddenly break the linearity trend? I'm not getting my hopes up unless Nintendo comes out with some sort of statement to the effect of, "Samus Returns will be an open-world game."

It's not sequence breaking if there isn't a sequence. That's what makes it so good, you can do anything you like but only if you're good enough.

You never have to use the counterattack if you don't want to, and only physical attacks can be countered. It's simply an additional tool in your kit aside from dodging.

How about just straight up giving Samus a melee attack and letting that parry with much more precise timing? I don't want this Other M style bullshit.

Well that's disappointing.

The counterattack is a fundamental part of the combat system. I guarantee you there will be enemies or bosses that will only be affected by it.
And it's probably the proper way to beat many more.

If you think you'll be able to play the game without using it, you're an idiot.

Nigga, Nintendo uploaded two separate videos that were about 45 minutes in length entirely of gameplay footage. If you watch those and still don't know what to expect from the game, then what the fuck are you doing?

>>382475483
It's not Other M bullshit.
In Other M you could literally start mashing the D+Pad before an attack even started and once one did you'd automatically dodge with a free full-charge.
If you do that shit here you'll just do an ineffective attack, after which the enemy would do it's own attack and hit you.
You don't even get a free charge when you counter, but you do have the briefest period of time where your shot will deal extra damage.
I consider it a major improvement.

It has to be. There's a spacer above and below the Varia Suit and the blank icon, indicating it's in a group, same with the Bomb and it's own blank icon.
So it's pretty logical to assume those spots are for the Power Bombs and Gravity Suit.
The empty spot with the beams has to be the Plasma Beam, since it's a series staple and was introduced in the original Metroid 2, and the same pretty much goes with the last slot in the Misc section. It has to be the Screw Attack because it's a series staple and was in the original Metroid 2.

At some point, one or both of us got very confused.
Super Metroid and Zero Mission have an intended route that requires no advanced movement techniques. That is the sequence. If you are skilled enough to use those techniques, you can break the sequence.

I'm totally speculating here, but I have a feeling that after Samus escapes with the baby, she will leave SR388 and get abducted by a space pirate ship, which is where a new section of gameplay will take place.

>>382477893
The R&D1 team that made Metroid 1-Super disbanded after Super Metroid. The R&D1 team that made Fusion and Zero Mission were the Wario Land 4 team and they disbanded in 2005 like you said.

2D Metroid kept their designs consistent, that's something I'm hoping an all EPD Metroid Prime will fix with the forth entry.

>>382481978
Its weird
In Echoes they looked like Retro versions of the 2D Space Pirates with scans saying they revamped their armor. It was a passable handwave and the designs were fairly good.

Then Corruption redid them again and they looked nothing like any previous incarnation.

Samus Returns looks like a Metroid game so you two can fuck right off and stop trying to ruin this thread. It's like you faggots get a kick out of making 2D Metroid threads shit. If you don't like 2D Metroid, then go fuck off in a Prime thread.

"""""Metroid fans""""" everyone. If you ever wondered why the series died after Prime 3 then just take a look at the fandom. They only care about the idea of Samus.

>>382483541
I think they should've gone with sprites for a 3DS game since the hardwares pretty shit but the inevitable 3D Switch game should use 3D models.

>>382483541
>2D Metroid > 3D Metroid
Well you're correct about this but Samus Returns is a 2D Metroid game.

>>382492314
When I get home, I'm going to post my image of how 2D Metroid games sell either around over a million or 2 million. Zero Mission is the only 2D Metroid game that under sold.

When I finish Zero Mission, I don't know whether to play AM2R, the original II (which was my first Metroid game), or just hold out for Samus Returns and skip to Super Metroid.

>>382492715
You won't lose out on anything by playing the original Metroid II and (not or, and) AM2R before Samus Returns releases. You'll get to experience three different views of the same game.

Are you playing the series for the first time? If so, you could skip to Super, but if you're a veteran of the series you might as well give AM2R a try.

>>382492909
Meant as a reply to >>382492715

>>382467345

It's anecdotal evidence, but all signs pointed towards Retro Studio being a bunch of gibbering retards before Nintendo got directly involved.

If nothing else, the fact that the game seems to run at a framerate higher than the 5-10 fps that Mirror of Fate ran at seems promising.

>>382492848
>playing the same game three times
Nah bruh

>>382493176

You could probably skip the original, but I'd hazard that AM2R and Samus Returns will be different enough from each other strictly in terms of mechanics that it'll be like playing two different games.

All they have to do is beat a fangame made on a budget of an adidas jacket and a ham sandwich, by a few guys in their basement. Nintendo has billions of dollars and thousands of talented professional developers, this shouldn't be hard.

>>382494262

If you can't decide if the game is worth buying just from the gameplay footage and reviews that already came out. You're just a weak minded individual looking for excuses to steal the game.

No anon. It will be pirated knowing the lost sales would not have helped it from the start.

>>382497582
Nope, when all the lost sales are added up, they would have made Metroid a success. But because people stole the game via piracy instead of buying it, it will be a a failure.

Pirates stealing the game will be to blame no matter how you look at it.

When has /v/ ever been right?

>>382498465
It would sell a million in a world without piracy, but we have to assume at least 600k would be stolen, so that reduces true sales to at least 400k. If not lower depending on how many people steal the game via piracy.

>>382499864
