Metroid Prime: Corruption

[squirtle]

Bring this on! Bring it fucking on!

Loving some of the designs over here.

And love this.

Mmmm... Metroid Prime...

[Super Craig]

I can't wait for this game.

[kwakpriest]

I've just finished Echoes so i'm really looking forward to the next Metroid. I do hope the boss design is a bit more inventive this time though, more like MP1, and less annoying... stupid frikkin boost guardian[/grumble].

[Anadim]

It does look a lot like MP, I just hope that there are loads of planets to land on.

[Transient Curse]

I thought it looked pretty ropey at first but I downloaded a higher resolution clip of what was shown at the conference and it looks alright. I think with greater emphasis on combat this could be a bit special, note Reggie billed it as an FPS at the conference too.

[squirtle]

From the looks of the video, it still has the lock-on combat mechanism which is a good thing. I love the idea of pulling shields off enemies with the control stick whilst firing at different enemies with the remote. Sounds fab!

[Beitel]

It looks like it's really more about the action this time, I can see a lot more platformbits this time around, and ofcourse better action. Maybe this will satisfy Cyhwuhx? I like this as much as Mario Gravity.

[Floppy]

I did enjoy MP and MP2:E, but it'd take more than a no control system to get me involved with the series a third time.

Bah too much action for a Metroid game.

Where's the exploration, the isolation, the dread?

That Metroid?

Or the one where you get a giagntic beam to shoot a mech-chicken into infinity?

Or the one where you kill a giant monster by shooting missiles in his MOUTH to get him to dorp into lava?

Action is part of Metroid, it's not meant as a pure FPS though.

Also I'm buying this on the strength of the new Grapple Beam alone.

[winkerwatson]

Well obviously i'm going on the trailer. But nintendo seem to be positioning this as a FPS rather than a Metroid title.

[winkerwatson]

I hope so. I'm just wary after Echoes. I really didn't enjoy that. It just didn't feel right.

[winkerwatson]

I'm afraid i didn't. I just wasn't enjoying it at all. The whole light/dark world stuff felt really laboured and the whole thing was more transparently linear than Prime 1.

[Aardvark]

I'm hoping for good things, certainly a Prime style game with the Wii controller could be fantastic.

[Andross]

The graphics look swish, the worlds look more colourful and the camera was spazzing out loads. Apart from the graphics, it looks as if Retro got hold of the Wiimote only a few weeks ago. Needs shitloads of tuning.

[Klatrymadon]

It's going to be brilliant, but it looks horrendous as a Metroid game. Granted, we've seen very little so far, but where's the atmosphere? Where's the oppressive, cavernous, biological environment (perhaps unfamiliar to you Tallon IV fans)? Everything's fucking metallic, for starters.

For enders, actually. I'd better not get into this.

NEW VIDEO

Low quality vid alert. The guy seems to have a hard time controlling it. At least you can still lock-on. The environments look good though and the the grapple beam .

I remember Hunters was pretty horrible at E3 too. Hopefully they'll tune it up, although I'm more interested in Red Steel personally.

Retro stipulated the inclusion of the nunchuk module, so I'm guessing they've had access to the tech for a while. Fingers crossed.

I'm sooo looking forward to this. I like the old skool logo design too.

[Cyhwuhx]

.::: But the old-skool logo IS great. Besides it has an old-school Ridley! Now give us Kraid and Zee Mozza Brain and we're all set!

Except if they actually manage to NOT include the eponymous creatures (which they already did with Hunters BTW).

[Lok]

Damn gagging for this game.

[Alex W.]

The trailer would be easier to follow if it didn't cut away to the guy operating the controller every 3 seconds.

Needs a DS trailer cartridge: top screen for player, bottom screen for game.

o/\o

Yeah, get over the controller already please!

Didn't see the thread (teh ignored), thought is was a bit quiet now the trailer was out. Looks like good fun. Metroid rewards the player well for that little bit of perseverance, looking forward to a new one. Man, it's gonna be a long wait until release

[drkbfhmmr]

This is now confirmed as a launch title: http://www.gamesarefun.com/news.php?newsid=6423

With this and Twilight Princess, could it be the best launch ever?

[Super Craig]

The best Christmas at least.

[Alex W.]

?!

This, Mario (it's been in development too long not to be a launch title, surely) and Zelda at launch?

Wow.

[Sprite Machine]

Ladies and gentleman, this man has not seen the Sanctuary Fortress. You may point at him and laugh/cry.

I didn't like the Sanctuary Fortress. Worst area in the game, in my opinion.

[squirtle]

Launch!? *shudder - splurge!*

[Cyhwuhx]

.::: Best E3 ever. I'm going to faint now.

*thud*
