They're finally merging 2D and Prime art together so there aren't any contradictions in the future. Samus also finally gained the ability to slow down time like the Master Chief.

Samus would annihilate him since her tech is thousands if not tens if thousands of years more advanced than his. She's also an enhanced human except without all the bulky cybernetics the chief has.

Chief doesn't have bulky cybernetics, his cybernetics are as minor as Samus. Also the fact that Master Chief can get his hands on Forerunner tech kind of kills your advanced tech theory.

If it's a straight up fight with their standard armament which I guess for Chief would be an assault rifle/BR and a heavy weapon, there's no chance for him. He would either have to start with super advanced weaponry that he generally doesn't have or the arena would have to be a place where that tech exists for him to procure which would be unfairly advantageous to him.

If it was standard armament, Samus would be at a bigger disadvantage. At the start of her games, she only has the Power Suit and Normal Beam, she has nothing else. If she's not on a planet at the start of a Metroid game that with her abilities she is out of luck.

Don't Metroid games typically begin with Samus' armor being damaged and losing all her standard armaments, which she then has to reacquire?

I don't think the melee attack is a bad idea, it just seems overpowered. Hopefully it won't work like that on every boss. Only judging from that quick webm that boss is probably one of the easier ones. At least Samus' animations look good.

Past Metroid games had meticulous enemy placement that forced the players to position themselves both vertically and horizontally to proceed, not to mention you only had eight directions to aim in unlike the full 360 degree aiming in Samus Returns.

A parry also automatically aims for you assuming you do it successfully and given how massive the timing window is and that enemies glow a bright red you would have to go out of your way to miss one.

The melee thing looks overpowered in general but at least we have a good way to fend off Metroids now. I remember having panic attacks when I first played Zero Mission when the fuckers would latch on to you. Sometimes holding them in ball form did jack shit.
I mean that taught me to get food eventually, but you have to admit Nintendo is trying to make their games easier to get into.

ACfag is an abbreviation for "Armored Core faggot" since he couldn't stop posting images from /acg/ years ago and suck From Software's dick on the daily basis.

not only he jumps the ship on any game that is more than 10 minutes long in total of cutscenes, he'll be sure to spend an entire thread on why his opinion and logic isn't shit.

also, every end of the year, he'll tend to post his shitty list so he can make another mess again.

Samus' suit is so far ahead of conventional weaponry that it's been sort of an ongoing plot point in the background of the lore, that the Federation has tried to make many copies but can't shrink the tech down enough to be as mobile as Samus. FedForce showed that even their best prototypes are still really bulky due to power needed.

No they can't, Samus is a superhuman, all humans that come to Zebes and SR388 where suits due to those planets atmosphere. Humans came to Zebes and found her ship and repaired it for her after it crashed in Zero Mission. Samus moves normally in ordinary human spaces, there's wildlife on Zebes and it rains normally even though the rain is acid. Zebes Gravity is not 900 times that of Earth's.

Her foot doesn't go into the black section, those are obviously the soles of the boot. Looking purely at the orange which is where her foot actually rests, the heel looks to something like an inch higher thereabouts. That's absolutely not enough room to accommodate the 6 inch heel she has in the ZS.

I gotta be honest, I recently started playing Super metroid blind for the first (or second? I can't remember my first time well at all) and I'm having a lot of fun.

I'm already up to Tourian. I never found the spring ball though. But for the most part I found the game relatively intuitive. A couple times I did get stuck.

You need to use the Space Jump in Maridia to get the Spring Ball and the Plasma Beam. You keep going right from the way you enter if you go up from the tube that connects Upper and Lower Brinstar.

Yeah you're right, I'm not sure why I mentioned the Plasma Beam when it's on the complete opposite side of Maridia.
The Spring Jump is the Chozo statue in the far bottom right. It's not very clear to the player how you're supposed to get there, unlike the rest of the game where it's set up in a way that the player will definitely remember (the Red Tower when you get the Ice Beam, the room with the pillars that fall with the Speed Booster) this isn't and as a matter of fact most players probably won't even stumble across it.

Yeah the block that you grapple on to, that's the one. Like I said it doesn't really follow the 'invisible hand' premise that the rest of the game does so well. Maridia is really the only 'glaring' flaw I have with Super but it's really not that bad when the rest of the game is pretty much perfect.

I genuinely hope that there's no easy mode. I want this game to violently kill every casual that plays it over and over again., I'm so sick of games being watered down for the braindead sheep that play Call of Duty. The Metroid series already had problems with not providing enough challenge, but now they're just rubbing salt in the nonexistent wound that can't be made because they've padded everything with bubble wrap.

>b-but you can just ignore the abilities
that's not enough. Nobody should be allowed to use these abilities. Casual filth should be put in their place like the garbage that they are. giving them even one bit of leeway just leaves room for disaster to follow.
>>
>>386510752
I know you were trying to be witty here with the whole bublewrap thing, but you pretty much just said there's no wound.

It's like if I said I wanted to be a pianist when I am older. The joke is pianist sounds like penis, but who would want to be a penis? The whole thing collapses.
>>
>>386510752
Casual filth are also the silent majority of the sales for your precious franchise, so if you really want Metroid to die again, go right ahead with that way of thinking.
>>
>>386510752
The challenge of 2D Metroid has always been low percent runs and speedrunning. The games literally have them as built-in challenges.

You're mad that the franchise is catering to the same gameplay style its always had instead of radically changing to suit your tastes.

when it comes to getting newblood, casualization comes firsthand. challenge comes later like a fucking Kirby or 3D World's special courses.

not to mention, the most casualized 2D Metroid outsold many units far than Super Metroid, so expect Metroid 5 to be at least Super 2 but with A.D.A.M. holding your hand at every new area

>>386511448
Metroid 1 isn't even that hard. You just need to have patience with it between how slow the start is and starting with 20 energy. It only becomes a challenge if you rush in blind and don't keep your energy up.

The hardest game in the series is probably Echoes.

>>386511369
>>386511386
>>386511448
I'm mad that Nintendo actively wants to prevent people from having a challenge. The retarded aeion abilities are bad enough, as is the melee counter (I'll have to avoid all of those in addition to avoiding every single powerup) but I also have to pay an additional 50 bucks for the hardest mode in the game because the 40 I'm already paying wasn't enough according to Nintendo.

why 50? Well, good luck finding a limited run amiibo that nintendo will never make more of. Thanks for making the scalpers richer.

There is expanding your target audience and alienating your core target audience. If Nintendo insists on making Metroid casual moe shit they should just create a new franchise and allow Metroid to expand on it's established fanbase.

Mindless pandering to the casual audience is a good way to alienate the established fanbase. destroy the identity of the franchise, and ultimately kill the franchise.

What do you guys think of Metroid 2? It seems inferior in every way to the first game. My biggest gripe is that it's zoomed in so far you can hardly see your surroundings.
>>
>>386511442
the problem with this isn't it being casual but that it seems extremely repetitive. Late game Samus has awesome mobility and being incentivized to constantly stop, melee, aim, and shoot at weird angles may bring the game to a snail's pace.
>>
>>386512059
You mean the past games were verticality was an important thing to keep in mind with some enemies since Samus could only aim in eight directions or how some enemies could be used to create platforms which required good spatial awareness.

Samus Returns looks like it has more in common with Uncharted than Super Metroid and it really hurts to see the series doubling down on this cinematic trash after Other M but that seems to be what the fans want.

How is something like the scan pulse that much more offensive than the x-ray visor and map rooms? They're a more fun and less intrusive solution to making the game more accessible than having a hint system like Zero Mission, so I don't see the concern.

Accessibility isn't a bad thing when the game gives you options or that accessibility is handled well. Super Metroid is considered a major step up from its predecessors to features like diagonal aiming, dedicated save rooms, a fully featured map and its expertly crafted main route that railroads you through the game. All choices that casualized the game.

Quit it with the elitism over a series that's always been easy as piss.

If Fusion mode is anything like the amiibo content in other games, then it's completely worthless and you people are getting all bent out of shape over nothing. It's probably just the same hard mode in the base game with a fusion skin on it that htey're pretending is some ultra-hardcore challenge.

There was only one mandatory Chozo Statue in Zero Mission, the rest were optional for veterans of the series. Zero Mission is a good example at appealing to both sides of the spectrum, Samus Returns is obviously doubling down on pandering to casuals and leaving hardcore fans in the dust.

I figured out everything including getting to the sandstone wall. What I DIDN'T figure out was how to get past that sandstone wall. I didn't realize you have to leave that enemy alone, I figured I had to come back there when I had different abilities but nope. Otherwise I would have figured it out when I first went there.

Also, is it possible to go back to that vegetable monster boss' room? I kinda feel like that room might have some goodies now or something.

>How is something like the scan pulse that much more offensive than the x-ray visor and map rooms?
Map rooms and the X ray need to be found, they're pretty late game, they don't reveal the entire map, they don't reveal items, and it still forces you to manually look everywhere. the Scan pulse just reveals everything around you at once for such little cost that it might as well be auto-cast for free.

>>386512335
>are you actually that poor to buy something that cheaper than 10 bucks?
I'm already paying 40 bucks for the game. why should I have to pay more for a feature that Nintendo can easily afford to put in at no cost to themselves? Nevermind that it's not even easily accessible DLC. Making DLC a limited time affair is as bad as making it so you can only get it through pre-ordering.

>Zero Mission is a good example at appealing to both sides of the spectrum, Samus Returns is obviously doubling down on pandering to casuals and leaving hardcore fans in the dust.
Zero Mission appeals to the veteran fanbase via its post-game content. The initial playthrough is easy as fuck and you'll have no idea how to bypass all of its roadblocks without solid knowledge about the games map, mechanics, sequence and power-ups.

The harsh judgement on Samus Returns for whats showcased in a demo of its first two areas, by people intentionally showing off the new mechanics as a selling point, is ridiculous. We have no fucking idea how its actual hard mode works, how the map is laid out, what new abilities were added to the game and how Metroid 2's game design has changed to accommodate that. Hell, what we have seen as far as the Alpha and Gamma Metroid encounters go already looks a lot more involved than anything the original game had, Metroid 2 didn't get challenging until the Omega Nest.

I'm so tired of seeing claims that mechanics are overpowered and broken based on pre-release footage from tutorial encounters in a demo on easy mode.

Stopped reading there. Who's paying for the game again? That's right, me. So I can be as harsh as I want until they prove that their product is worth the money. Or do you seriously think that all criticism of Nintendo needs to be removed because you consider it wrongthink? is that grounds for being arrested too?

even then, 643D wasn't going to meet giant success.
the commercial advertising is godawful
it's another remake of the first game
done by the same people that did Command, like it was a redemption project
and games like Kid Icarus: Uprising overshadowed it since it was another railshooter on the 3DS

not to mention, Miyamoto said 643D was his last chance to revive Star Fox if the newblood "liked" it, so Nintendo was able to salvage its small worth to let Miyamoto shift gears with his Star Fox Wii project into shitty Zero.

I'm not the guy you're replying to but I think you're a retard who watches footage of tutorials and then whines that it looks too easy. I think you're a dishonest faggot who's just trying to shitpost about Samus Returns because you hate to see people excited about a new entry in a long dormant series. I think you're especially worthless because you think Metroid is a series that is meant to be difficult.

Metroid can't "double down on appealing to casuals", it already casualized everything so far that there's not much left to simplify, it was called Super Metroid and everyone loves it.

>>386513414
>Or do you seriously think that all criticism of Nintendo needs to be removed because you consider it wrongthink?
What do you want to complain about? MercurySteams involvement after their sketchy record with the Castlevania franchise? Amiibo bullshit that most players won't be able to access because of their limited supply? The aesthetic changes caused by the jump from 2D art to 2.5D renders? Nintendo releasing the game exclusively for the 3DS, a dying system, when it'd look a hell of a lot nicer with the Switch's higher resolution and likely control better? By all means, voice your complaints. That's the kind of stuff that can actually be judged from articles and footage, and they're all viable complaints. I don't like Nintendo either and haven't bought most of their recent hardware or software for similar reasons, and coming from the Castlevania I absolutely understand the concerns with Samus Returns.

But when the majority of the bitching comes from casualization ruining the purity of your series based on optional features? Ones that nobody here has actually gotten a chance to use, and features mostly in early sections of the game, in a series known for speedrunning and post-game unlockable challenges? Fuck off. That's the kind of stuff that can't be critically looked at until people actually have their hands on the game and shouldn't be a factor.
>>
>>386514061
More like I'm a guy who's been disappointed with Nintendo for over a decade. So I feel entitled to complain when I think they're making another mediocre product.You're literally arguing that "alot of people are excited, so you can't hate on it." What kind of logic is that?

>Metroid can't "double down on appealing to casuals", it already casualized everything so far that there's not much left to simplify, it was called Super Metroid and everyone loves it.

>thinking aonuma is actually telling the truth about the gamepad being disruptive in BOTW

It's called marketing retard. The Switch version can't do the gamepad functionality and the Switch version is the one they cared about so saying that the version they're trying to sell held the game back from its full potential would be the dumbest thing they could possibly do.

See, this implies that Nintendo has somehow earned the benefit of the doubt. They haven't. Especially if you don't like any of the games they've put out recently, which I don't. And considering how obtuse and almost downright abusive they've been to their fans as of late, I don't see why I shouldn't assume the worst. before SR and Prime 4 were even announced, Metroid fans were scolded because they didn't mindlessly buy up Federation Force.

>you stupid entitled pieces of shit! you hate fun! Fed Force was made with love! go kill yourselves for not trusting in Nintendo

every single day for the course of the year. And mind you, this was after the game came out, so everyone had time to judge it based on gameplay. But no, that wasn't enough. "you didn't play it" was the most common strawman excuse used to defend that piece of crap. So why should I assume that they've learned their lesson not even a year down the line?

That's not what you were saying, you were saying it was going to be "casualized trash". And you were making that judgement based on tutorials and footage designed to make new features look cool. If you want hardcore, difficult metroid-style exploration, play Hollow Knight or La Mulana. Metroid is not and never was some super challenging series.

Super Metroid being easy wasn't a mistake, it's one of the main reasons it's so beloved. It's not a difficult game, but its fun to explore, has flexible movement mechanics and has a lot of replay value in finding secrets and trying to get a better time. There is nothing wrong with that. Are you one of those autistic retards that plays Super Metroid romhacks that require you to master every retarded esoteric bugged mechanic in the game?

The problem is that it's emphasizing style over substance. You should never do that, even for gameplay trailers or early footage. It's as damning as a sony or MS product being 10 minutes of pre-rendered trailers. Sure we're not seeing all of the game, but if this is what they choose to show us, do you trust them to deliver a good product?

>Metroid is not and never was some super challenging series.
It's time for that to change. At the very least they could ease up on the features designed to casualize the game further. I swear, this sounds like a textbook argument people use to defend Metroid: Other M. "dude who cares if you can regen health and ammo? Searching for it was too videogamey and it broke story immersion." Like I care? Please.

>Super Metroid being easy wasn't a mistake, it's one of the main reasons it's so beloved.
I can't agree with that. There's alot of reasons why Super Metroid gets alot of love, but people liking it being easy just seems like casual historical revionism.

>It's time for that to change
Why? How would making it oh-so-hardcore make it better? Everyone's favorite game in the series is Super while Fusion was the popular whipping boy for years until Other M fucked everything up. But Fusion is harder than Super. By your logic Fusion is just automatically better than Super because it provides more of a challenge. Did you like that godawful stealth section in ZM too? It wasn't "casual", those enemies could tear you to shreds, but all that accomplished was amplifying how frustrating and dull it was.

>So basically you hate every game that has any advertising budget whatsoever?
Less money should be spent on marketing. It's one of the factors killing the industry. Also, more pure gameplay. We should see the game at its worst as well, not just at its best. It should at least give us an idea of the product. I'm not talking glitches or bug showcases, but moments that aren't just about spectacle.

>Yes, because it looked like the early areas of any other metroid game but with a few interesting twists
See, I don't consider that interesting. So we won't see eye to eye here.

>How would making it oh-so-hardcore make it better?
By requiring the player to learn how to play the game better. They thus feel more payoff when they master it. In regards to Fusion, only the filthy casuals complained about the difficulty. The real problems were the linearity and forced dialogue segments with Adam constantly barking behind you. ZM's stealth suit segment wasn't hard either. What kind of 12 year olds said that?

>People like games they can complete more than games that wreck their ass.

I agree. That has nothing to do with what I said.

>I'm not talking glitches or bug showcases
Well unfortunately that's all you would ever get because games are often completely unplayable buggy messes right up until mere weeks before release. Pre-release demos are all smoke and mirrors, extremely limited sections of the game meant to present what the game is "intended to be" rather than what it actually IS. This is the reality of software development, you don't want to see the sausage get made.

>muh casuals, muh casuals, muh casuals
Do you even like Metroid? Is it so hard to understand that mockballing autists are not and never have been Metroid's main audience? Every good previous entry in the series has been an extremely easy game where any level of challenge came from limitations the player placed on themselves (or from the speed they tried to complete the game). All signs point towards Samus Returns being the exact same way. If it's completely unacceptable to you that Samus Returns is similar to other Metroid games, I have to ask, why do you want a new Metroid game in the first place?

Go play Salt and Sanctuary, Hollow Knight, La Mulana, or Bunny Must Die. Your obsession with difficulty has no place in this series.

>I agree. That has nothing to do with what I said.
To go along with that, I think prerelease trailers are bad in general. They're designed to manipulate you into buying a product by only showing the good and never the bad, or fooling you into thinking it's good when it can play horribly. I'd rather that advertising budget go somewhere else. I won't hate a game purely because of it, but if the company should know better, it's a mark on their record.

>Pre-release demos are all smoke and mirrors, extremely limited sections of the game meant to present what the game is "intended to be"
So at this point I have to ask "why bother"? just let the game spread by word of mouth. Screw the casuals who need pre-rendered or pre-release trailers. You shouldn't want their audience.

>Do you even like Metroid?
I love Metroid, but there is no reason to not make it more challenging, nor is there a reason to put in mechanics designed to reward laziness. This could've been easily remedied with a few difficulties and NOT locking them behind paywalls, but Nintendo wanted to stick their hand in the cookie jar. I don't see why I should have to pay.

>Go play Salt and Sanctuary, Hollow Knight, La Mulana, or Bunny Must Die.
Already did, which is why I want Metroid to improve in the same way. it worked for all of those games.

and you're referring to some 2DPD image outdated release of a Metroid game

i'm referring to the horse's mouth, which invalidates it further like Sammy being trans

So you discarded 7000 words because a single word hurt your feelings? You didn't even try to see if the article was worth the time.

Funny, because you then give me crap for judging Samus Returns before it releases. Isn't that just peachy?
>>
>>386518529
Ah you're right, after checking the link it seems like the guy could've just been joking about that. Still I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility for Samus because her body is a bit inconsistent between each game and Smash.

There. Now my aspergers can stop firing up.

Thank you. I'll be able to sleep tonight.

Quality → Sales

Super Metroid is objectively garbage, which is why it sold less than the newer Fire Emblem games

This was good compared to your usual Metroid thread desu even though all of those came true in this thread it's generally much worse.

before you guys leave the thread
you really need to read this 2 month old interview
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/06/reggie_fils-aime_defends_nintendos_indie_support_and_am2r_policy

this was an Vice interview of Reggie's defense on Nindies, his excuse on the AM2R shutdown, and Animal Crossing

>Reggie: "So, I think there needs to be clarity in what the line is, and, in our view, the line is when an initiative crosses from being an homage to something that is monetizing our IP. We allow homages to exist in a variety of different ways. And, for me personally, as a fan before I was an executive, I understand the attraction that you could have to our IP. But, when it transitions to something that... now, you're trying to monetize, you're trying to sell, you're trying to profit off of, that is what broaches or breaks through that line for us, where we have to claim our IP protection."
>"But again, to differentiate this, we have had conversations with entities that started as fans and became more of a business partner. Those conversations happen all the time, but again, when something transitions to a commercial product, and that's what [AM2R] was—there wasn't a charge, but it was now a commercial product."
>"How do our creators, like Mr. Sakamoto, who created Metroid, and Nintendo control that intellectual property so that we can drive where it's going, versus someone else driving where it's going.
That's where the line is very clear for us. And again, we could go on to YouTube and a variety of different places and see fans doing interesting things with our IP. But when it turns to driving the direction of the IP, or somehow monetizing or becoming a commercial project, that's where for us, the line has been crossed."

TL;DR: his excuse that AM2R, despite being a free fan game with no money backing it, was "becoming" a commercial product because it was basically driving the direction of an IP they own. regardless, fan games are still grey area shit to them
>>
>>386518860
I know right

>>386511423
Metroid has been waifu cancer since the first game. Fanservice has been a stapple since the first game.

You can tell a white knight is delusional when he claims his waifu only became shit in Other M.
>>
>>386519121
This pisses me off. He could've just said "we didn't want someone competing with our products" but he has to lie and say AM2R was getting money.
>>
>>386519189
It wasn't always a staple. Games like Prime showed Samus respect by never showing her out of her suit. She was a human being. Best of all, she didn't talk at all, as should be the standard for any video game woman. or man for that matter.
>>
>>386519298
Go back to Prime.
>>
>>386519298
Video game main characters or all characters shouldn't talk?

>I'd rather that advertising budget go somewhere else
Read the Mythical Man Month.

>I won't hate a game purely because of it
Except you were just doing that

>So at this point I have to ask "why bother"? just let the game spread by word of mouth. Screw the casuals who need pre-rendered or pre-release trailers. You shouldn't want their audience.
Companies are out to make money. Quality is irrelevant if no one has heard about your game and knows they want to buy it. A casual's money is just as good as a hardcore autist's money.

>there is no reason to not make it more challenging
Except it would be taking the series in a drastically different route that it has never gone down before. No one plays Metroid for the challenge, so making the next Metroid super challenging would be taking a big risk for basically no reason

>reward laziness
Because it's so much better to bomb every wall in the game and then memorize the locations for your speedrun? Tedium builds character? The X-ray visor and power bombs existed for a reason, Aeion scan is just doing the same thing (although it does seem like the game might be giving it to you a bit too early, still, it worked for Shadow Complex).

>wah fusion mode
We still know basically nothing about it, it's probably just the game's base hard mode with a different skin. Amiibo content never has any effort put into it.

Those games are not improvements on metroid, they're different, with entirely different sets of goals. There's no reason Metroid needs to imitate its imitators just because right now everyone is on a retarded "MUH SOULS SHIT, EVERYTHING MUST BE DIFFICULT" kick.

If the title screams "this article is worthless", I'm not gonna waste my time with it. I don't care what the word count is. It could be a 200 word high schoolers essay or a fucking dissertation and I still wouldn't have any interest in reading it.

I don't even know who it is you are with regards to the Samus Returns conversation. It's an anonymous board in case you hadn't noticed and this reply chain is about Zelda.

>>386519121
He's doing PR bullshit. Getting angry about this is as stupid as getting angry at that retard that called characters functions in Marvel Vs Capcom. Everyone knows the real reason why the X-Men aren't in the game, just like everyone knows the real reason AM2R was shut down, but they have to make their company sound like its the best thing ever so they try to put a nice face on it. Sometimes they pull it off, most times they don't. Getting upset about it is fucking dumb.
