Why isn't anyone excited about this?

Metroid never has actual fans, same with Beyond Good and Evil and the same with those Penumbra games.

Because no one under the age of 30 even remembers Metroid as anything other that shitty, slow-paced, linear shooters.

>Anyone

Define 'anyone' /v/ hates games so dont even bother.

>>383409873
Whatchoo talkin bout? Literally everyone is excited for it. There's nobody who's not excited for it because if anyone was not excited for it, it would create a paradox in the space time continuum and they'd be instantly erased from existence.

>>383409873

I am, exceedingly.

We had a superior remake just last year.

>>383409873
There's not much content to actually talk about, there's been pretty frequent threads anyway though they die relatively quick.

Personally I am not very vested in this game whether it turns out to be good or bad; I don't have a handheld and no way I'll buy one just for one game after the shit nintendo has been pulling lately.

These threads will generate a lot more content closer to release, not to mention the 3d metroid that imo has much greater appeal. Meanwhile I'm perfectly happy replaying the old gba games and prime trilogy.

>>383410923
Are you OP? Stop acting like a fucking retard, it's no wonder these threads die fast with people like you in them.

because we haven't seen any more of it since E3.

when the game actually releases, we will have plenty to talk about

There's pretty much always a thread up for it.

>>383412106
Interviews about Samus Returns seem to imply that the only aspect of the game they had control over were adding the aeon abilities.

The rest of the decision making that they implemented came down to Sakamoto's words (of which he's seemingly learned to not throw in too much story directly into the game by force and let players explore it on their own).

Also all of the hands on reviews said that this is the game to keep an eye on for the holidays and that it plays like classic 2D Metroid if you want to play it that way if you don't feel like using 360 degree aiming (though that it helps alot) or the melee pary.

I'm pretty optimistic since these sentiments were shared across the board from all publications and game reviewers.

>>383413813
>Just don't use parrying or 360 aiming
Please don't tell me you're jumping to the "you don't HAVE to use fast travel" defense already.

>>383414069
Metroid would greatly benefit from some sort of alternative transportation means though, it's always been such a chore to move between areas except for Prime 3.

Warp rooms would have been better tho.

>>383410165
>linear

what even

>>383415221
No, it just needs a more connected world with shortcuts. But gasp, that would make the game less linear!! Nintendo can't have that.

>>383409873
I am, but I'm more excited for what's coming after, Metroid Dread (Metroid 5) for the 3DS. I've been waiting for a Fusion sequel for years.

>>383414069
And what's wrong with it? It's true, unless you're talking about the possibility that balancing the game for the use of the mechanic might make it too hard to go without.

But then, that sort of complaint is hardly believable coming from someone who is opposed to mechanics that exist for convenience; I thought you liked difficulty.

I am, pre-ordered the soundtrack edition and the amiibos. Wish we were getting the European special edition, but ah well.

>>383415819
The way I see it, being a person who has Actually Played Lords of Shadow, the game stands to be bland and repetitive if you don't use the mechanics and ugly and bland if you do. That's the thing with saying fast travel in games like Oblivion is fine if you ignore it, that's wrong. The mechanic is in there because if it wasn't in there, the truth that the core gameplay it circumvents (exploration, travelling) is downright fucking boring and pointless. Why put big expanses of nothing between towns if everyone in their right mind if going to skip it?

>remake of metroid 2 when an Argentinian guy already did one

I'll buy it but I'm not hyped, I'll wait for the real next metroid thanks

Going to pirate it and then buy it if I like it. I hate the melee and aiming

>>383416328
>Nintendo isn't allowed to remake their own game because a fan did it first

Huh?

>>383416636
how did you extrapolate this retarded statement from my post?

>>383409873
I already played Metroid 2 and AM2R?

>>383409873
I am. I didn't play AM2R yet but I look forward to playing both at some point and comparing.

>>383415490
Has Metroid ever had that? Closest thing I can think of were those secret passages from Fusion, but having just played Super and Zero Mission, horizontal transitions are incredibly rare, most are solely accessed by elevator.

>>383416769
And Samus Returns looks completely different from both.

>>383415221
prime 2 light beams?

>>383417094
>Has Metroid ever had that?

metroid invented that

>>383416636
He is larping. He probably hasn't ever played a Metroid game in his life.

>>383409873
it's generic looking, i'll buy it and i'm sure it will be good but still a shame there isn't something that really jumps out at me as unique to this game aesthetically like the fusion suit or something. I'm a little worried it's being developed by MercurySteam too

real answer: in general Metroid fans are too intelligent to come to /v/ though

Has Sean Malstrom posted yet?

We've already played the superior remake.

>>383419879
Everyone in this thread is false flagging. Some are Sony ggers that genuinely hate that others are enjoying something, others are disillusioned metroid fags who have had nothing but ROMhacks and AM2R over the course of 9 years (most of these were in the last 2 years as well), and the rest are just people here for the fun. Metroid threads have always been about complaining, whining, tubes, and pining for the past. Actual metroid games coming out, regardless of quality, won't change that.

>>383421554
Metroid threads were as comfy as they had been in years for a week or so after E3. They have devolved back into shitflinging since.

>>383423001
Those weren't metroid threads. Those were E3 threads featuring people other than the false flaggers from the three camps I listed. It's hard not to draw people when one of the biggest reasons Nintendo was considered the winner was "u cant win with le just title xd" followed by "but wait - there's more" with Yet Another Metroid 2 Remake.

It's going to be worse than AM2R.

>>383423249
>>383421554
Pray tell, anon who totally isn't a marketer: why aren't we allowed to be skeptical of Nintendo now that they suddenly and out of the blue "totally want the best for their fans" which is already shady as hell? Every time someone wanted to critique what we saw of Samus Returns, the thread was immediately descended upon by Nintendo marketers who would shout down all critique and say "you can't hate it you're a filthy sonybro no criticism allowed!"

Doesn't that make you suspicious in even the slightest?

Is Metroid 1 and 2 worth playing on the 3DS? Should I just wait for the new game instead of playing 2?

>>383417094
Metroid Prime 2 had each area having shortcuts to other areas.

For as much shit as I give MP3, the game giving you multiple places on each planet to ride your gunship to was actually a really neat idea that I'd like to see come back.

>>383409873

The definitive Metroid 2 experience already released.

>>383409873
i feel like this is going to be the cinematic retarded version of metroid 2
adding that melee was already fucked up imo

>>383424340
Even if the melee counters didn't ruin the game, Sakamoto already said he wants to "expand the story of Metroid 2". And only a marketer would ever dare to imply that this is a good idea.

>>383424443

For me, as long as they go the Zero Mission way, of making an additional part of the game after you finish it, I will be fine with it.

But yeah, fucking with a game's story when, as it was, didn't have any story past "Go to SR388. Kill All Metroid." sounds like they are going to add a whole load of bullshit into it.

>>383424443
"Expand the story" reads out to "more cutscenes and dialogue lol" 99% of the time, but a dev could expand story simply by conciously designing areas with subtle storytelling cues. Like in Super Metroid how there's the dead guy outside of Kraid's lair. Things that don't force you to a halt but might spur a curious player to pause and reflect about what's going on in the world of the game. Story done right.

>>383424669
>>383424730
In particular every interview with Sakamoto says he wants to "expand on Samus's motherly relationship with the baby". Tell me that's anything but a red flag.

>>383409873
>mercury steam

>>383423916
Pretty far off on the /v/iral marketing claim. I haven't bought a Nintendo product since the Gen 2 remakes on my DS fat when I was underage b&d. If I worked for big N why would I praise AM2R or ROMhacks like Hyper Metroid? I'm sure even when applying Taqqiya treehouse shills aren't allowed to praise what the higher ups see as harmful to the brand.

The kind of outlandish false flags that happen in these threads are not legitimate criticism. Posting >mercury shit is hardly any better. I personally dislike the magic system and the epic Other M counter cutscene garbage.

For reference: these are examples of legitimate criticism
>>383424340
>>383416164

These are outlandish false flag attacks with no relevance to the new game:
>>383410158
>>383410165
>>383419292 This one in particular is a thread regular false flagging as a nygger.

>>383409873
its smart to be skeptical of a metroid game lol, its like if they ever announce half life 3 people would be put off for a while until people actually got and played it I guess

>>383424827
I WANT TO BELIEVE

But then Sakamoto says shit like this. Putting him in charge in the first place was a bad idea. Dude should've been kept the fuck away from the Metroid series after Other fucking M.

>>383424827
It's not like he can dedicate a whole lot of time to that, since it happens at the end of the game. Speaking of, I hope the final area and Queen are scary as fuck.
