Eurogamer: You must feel a sense of ownership over Metroid. Do you feel this is a different branch to Metroid Prime, that they are quite separate?

>Yoshio Sakamoto: That's quite difficult to answer. My experience of Metroid is the 2D type, so I would say they are quite different games. That said, whether a Metroid game is 2D or FPS, it's more about the ability for Metroid fans to have a blast and enjoy the game. And the more they do that, the better.

>overview trailer plays Ridley's theme

gee thanks for the spoiler, hopefully it's just for an escape sequence

Metroid outlived Half-Life
Do you faggots feel a bit relieved Nintendo didnt axe your shitty series?

Jap nigga looks slim as fuck
Did he ate a good bowl of curry tofu last night?

>>388182085
nothing in the metroid games comes close to playing as bad as the vehicle sections of HL2, good riddance

>>388182085
I just hope they make Samus mute again desu.

>>388182085
Of course, I'm glad Metroid and Halo out lived your shitty series and never got axed. We'll be getting Metroid Dread by 2019 while you guys will never get a Half-Life 3. To make matters better even Halo is going back to its roots with the focus returning to the Master Chief and dropping the squad gameplay from Halo 5.

>>388182980
lets be realistic, dread is 2020 earliest

>>388182085
Half-Life stop being good after Opposing Force

>>388183112
The fact that Dread has a very likely chance of coming out still boggles to mind. Who blessed us with this sudden change of pace?

>>388184672
metroid fans not being retarded and voting with their wallets

>>388181861
Ridley's theme is also traditionally used as the escape sequence theme, so I'm hoping it's that.

>>388184760
>>388181861

Maybe the post game of Samus Returns is an extended intro to Super Metroid

>>388185163
That'd be pretty shitty tease, though.

>>388182085
Feels good. Metroid Prime was always better than Half-Life 2 anyway.

>>388183112
No, it's 2019
>MercurySteam is working with Sakamoto on it
>the game will use the same engine as Samus Returns
>the Switch Mini will release that year to replace the 3DS as the Switch install base should be around 30 million by then.

>>388184672
We wanted this for a very long time, unlike Half-Life fans, we fought for our sequel.

>>388185568
doubt MS has the capacity to make a new game, despite doing well on the remake

>>388185723
I think, MS are used, because Sakamoto wants obedient gimps to do his bidding exactly the way he envisioned it (yes, you would be right to remember Other M right now).

>>388185723
With Nintendo watching their ass, they'll get it right.

>Metroid Dread will happen in this lifetime
>Starting with Halo 6, Master Chief will be the main character for all FPS Halo games going forward
>Half-Life is dead and never coming back
Are we in the best timeline or what?

>>388186592
stop bringing up halo no one gives a shit

>>388181725
I'm still not a fan of the new counter move, but otherwise it looks great.

>>388186592
The hardest difficulty mode in M:SR is still locked behind an amiibo, so no. We're close enough though.

>>388186878
The entire game is pretty much early access without the amiibos.

>>388186842
I know it hurts that Half-Life is dead but you got to learn to sometimes let things go.

>>388186958
I don't give a fuck about half life either. Fuck off halotard

>>388186917
What the fucking fuck

I take that back, we're not even close.

>>388187058
On the plus side at least, we can get around that shit easily and for free with NoAmii.

>>388186917
You forgot Metroid Prime having content locked behind a $99 piece of hardware.

>>388187003
How about (You)

>>388187158
at least they were included with a quality game, not mcdonalds toys

The Amiibo implementation is bullshit but tone down the hyperbole.

>>388187284
So I guess you are mad your shitty series died today.

>>388187431
Halotard AND you can't read>>388187003

what a horrible human being, consider suicide

>>388187286
I do!
Your shitposts have no effect on me

>>388187474
But you brought up the Halo killed muh FPS image, meaning you're a butthurt PCunt that's mad that his shitty FPS series died today. You do know that your shitty series and CS was the games that ruined your poor excuse of a genre, not Halo.

>>388187645
you still don't get it do you? I don't give a shit about Half life 3, both Halo and he HL series are overall trash (although the first HL is a pretty good game). You try to piggyback off metroid's return by mentioning halo in these threads, I wouldn't be surprised if you do it in sonic mania/crash threads as well. Make your own thread and stop polluting other ones

>>388182085
Ive never played HL so I have no idea why its a big deal

>>388187783
I stopped liking Sonic a long time ago, and I never cared about Crash, and to be quite frank, I always consider the FPS genre a shit genre. Metroid and Halo are my two favorite franchises. I admit that I may mention both a little too much in either threads but think just because I sometimes like mentioning Halo in Metroid threads or Metroid in Halo threads means I give a literal shit about those other franchises you mentioned.

>>388182085
I already told you back in 1986 that japanese games were superior.
Its your own fault for falling for the master race meme

>>388188098
Some Half-Life writer posted the plot for Half-Life 2 Episode 3 confirming that the Half-Life series is dead, now the Half-Life fanbase is thinking about suicide and bringing flame torches to Valve's door steps.

>>388188242
I inferred as much from the sticky, but I never played the game or even looked at it since I was never a pcfag I was too busy playing PS1 to care.
These people put HL in such a pedestal its pretty insane, but I still dont even know what the game looks like.

>>388188349
while I enjoyed the games I don't consider myself a fan of the series. That said, HL1/HL2 were pretty revolutionary games and people wanted something like that for HL3

>>388182980
>>388183112
>Metroid Dread
Wait did I miss something? This better not be some ruse, also if it's real I hope Retro are the ones to do it

>>388189445
if retro arn't even doing prime 4 what gives you the idea they'd do dread

>>388189489
Well if I'm not mistaken the game was their idea to begin with, so they're probably the ones who can actually execute it best

>>388189640
nah dread was brought up by sakamoto after fusion, prime 3 just references it in a scan

>>388189445
Sakamoto stated yesterday that he wants to work on more 2D Metroid games and he doesn't want to work on any more remakes, he wants to make a new Metroid not go back into the past. Also, don't worry about Other M's style, Sakamoto that he's never returning to the Other M style or narrative again. Retro isn't working on Metroid anymore, Sakamoto will most likely work with MercurySteam again.

>>388189445
Why the fuck would Retro be doing Dread?
Dread is Metroid 5.

>>388181842
Fucking based.

>>388189693
>>388189837
>>388190263
Ah fuck I had it confused with Prime 1.5, my bad.

Alright so what where do you guys think the series should go next?
>open and gameplay focused like Super
>linear and story focused like Fusion
>maybe even it's own thing
I would honestly prefer it to be similar to Super since I don't trust Sakamoto enough yet to take the series to a new direction.

>gravity suit adds EVEN MORE lights
ugh, it's fucking ugly

It's not that bad

>>388191358
Would it be so hard to have a midway point between Super and Fusion?
I thought AM2R did pretty well with the lore entries, and it had some linear setpieces scattered amongst the openness.

>>388191358
I don't care what direction it goes, as long as it's 2D, I'm happy.

Beam Burst, Lightning Armour, Scan Pulse and Phase Drift are retarded. Locking stuff behind Amiibos is retarded.
Allowing a fan to create a better remake for 10 years and DMCA'ing him as soon as he's done is retarded.
Melee counter looks OP and abusable.
Should have bought the rights to AM2R and sold it instead, do a Sonic Mania thank-you-to-the-fans type of thing.
But no, give us this cash cow low-poly mobile game instead. Also 3DS only is fucking retarded.

How people complained that AM2R removed the atmosphere and isolation of the original Metroid II, yet are sucking Samus Returns' dick is beyond me.

If you're buying this "because metroid needs better sales" then you're an idiot and just telling Nintendo you'll buy anything if a nostalgic name is on it.
This is the most un-Metroid Metroid game there will ever be excluding Federation Force and Pinball.

>"Important unlocks"

They're both pity features thrown at the people who got the Smash amiibos, don't pretend they're remotely important in 2017 when we'll have access to them in better quality on our PCs under a week after release.

Also, it's kinda bullshit to include the Amiibo adapter when you don't mention the GBA-GC link cable which was just as expensive on release and mandatory if you wanted to get the Fusion-Prime bonuses listed as "unlocked after beating the game".

Way to make people who are upset about hard mode being locked away like complete spergs

>>388192939
Fuck off AM2R fag. Your shitty romhack sucks and you don't belong in these threads.

The tradeback is that is being developed by mercury steam so no

Fuck off ACFag

Nice try faggot, I ain't saying that the Fusion mode thing isn't retarded either, it's bullshit, Sakamoto should commited Senkaku years ago.

>>388192939
>it's shit because I said so
HMMMMM

>>388193238
Overseen by Nintendo.

In case you are too young to remember, Retro, Next Level Games and Silicon Knights produced absolute dogshit before Nintendo's involvement. And it's looking to be the exact same case here.

>that delicious 2.5d cross section environment

>>388193478
Blood Omen isn't anything particularly special and is completely outshined by Soul Reaver and Crystal Dynamics Legacy of Kain, but I wouldn't call it Dogshit.

You got that pre-order in /v/?

>>388194509
I never preorder games

>>388194509
I would have but I have to move places around that time.

Don't like the Aeion abilities? Post something better. Not arguing. Genuinely curious about peoples' ideas.

>>388196517
Here's something better: the absence of Aeion abilities. They're not necessary.

>>388196719
Nothing is necessary, what matters is if they are implemented in fun ways.
Im glad they are more than just easy mode cheat codes

>>388196804
Take a look at the other games in the series. Something like the Aeion abilities has never been needed before and I can guarantee you that they'll feel very tacked on, even if encounters are designed around them.

>>388196719
Then don't use them.

>>388197043
You are the person that complained about super missiles in SM

>>388197101
Where the fuck did you get that from? Super Missiles had a clear usage. Are you just throwing around accusations blindly?

>>388197187
>Super Missiles had a clear usage

As do some of the Aeion abilities. You can't say one is tacked on and another isn't.

>>388197187
So do aeon abilities

>>388197240
I can, I will, and I did.

>>388197407
Well you're wrong.

>>388197407
You're wrong, but ok.

>>388196719

Quit being cunts and post an upgrade idea. Guided missile? Enemy control missile? Remote bombs?

It's like Dead Space except with shitty graphics and exploitable combat

>>388197596
Yeah, in the same way that Zelda is just a shitty version of FIFA.

>>388197729
Wait, it's not?

>I need 4 metroid amiibos

WEW

altogether they apparently unlock concept artwork from the old game, the new game, a new difficulty called fusion and a sound test

is it september yet

I had a dream that Nintendo released footage of a new Metroid game. It took place after Fusion. There was a retcon to leave Samus with the Metroid DNA, and she had used it to clone a new Metroid larva. The plot was that everyone wanted to kill or capture it, but she was trying to keep it safe. Something about her being part Chozo and wanting to create a Metroid like they did but prove that they can be helpful and docile. There was a moment where Samus showed up in the Zero Suit, and the Varia Suit ran up behind her. It lifted off the helmet, and it was the Metroid using some kind of device to interact with and operate the suit. Gameplay involved using both characters.

What a fucking nightmare.

I want Metroid dreams
