Worse.
Again, it'd be like having a Captain Falcon brawler spin-off after so many years of not having F-Zero. People want what made the series memorable, not a half-assed spinoff.

That's what I think of this game. So sad.

At least it looks really fun. They REALLY need to fix the models though, but I don't think they have the time to do that. :/
The game looks fun. The whole concept is really not bad at all. But, we're waiting for a Metroid game for many years. A proper one. And we're getting this. A game that no matter how fun it may be, looks horrible. A game that essentially is a co-op missions mode. Not a full game. Of course it's disappointing, even after the initial shock. Plus, the Blastball part seems awful and boring.

People's reaction when Other M came out was they wanted a chibified hunters spin-off?So time for a update version of this replacing the zelda games with Other M and this?

This.
I really liked what I saw, especially if its online. It looks really good, and I'll likely get it day one.
But calling it Metroid, which is a series about isolation, is total disrespect to the Metroid franchise. Not even Other M was that bad. You don't even play as Samus in this. E3 08 and 12 were bad and boring, but never a total lack of what they did show being totally dissed. 2D mario in 12? Yeah its 2D Mario. Maybe another bland one but cool for those that wanted it. Metroid now? It ain't Metroid. So far both Other M and now this are basically not Metroid games. Its astounding that that they have two games in a row that completely go against what Metroid is about.
Its being made by NLG so I am sure I'll enjoy it alot. But for the love of all that is good don't name it fucking Metroid. (I know its too late but damn.)
But people have specifically said they wanted that
Samus and her story are about isolation
Metroid can be more than just samus and her story. I think the galactic federation are a fine choice to expand upon, my only holdup is the player model.

It still looks like a worse version of Destiny or Warframe to me. I seriously don't know what you guys are seeing. Trapping monsters seems kinda neat but that's not nearly enough to justify its existence.

Yeah, these demos have sold me on the gameplay, but the models look like chibi Big Daddys.
The majority of people asking for that are just fans of Falcon from Smash, not F-Zero fans.
Really wish it had more in-depth character building like Monster Hunter. I'm really not that excited to have "on-the-fly" customization. That makes it feel less engrossing to me.
I can see this being fun; but it's looking rough right now.
EDIT: Here's hoping they can really pump it up. I'm fine with a softer look for the art, but there's plenty of room for improvement. The UI needs to be touched up a lot, too.

I don't even get what this shit has to with Metroid in ANY capacity at all gameplay-wise. Looks utterly baffling for a Metroid game. Is there any insight into why Nintendo seems to refuse an actual new Metroid game?

I forgot Prime series is non canon now so the title more hilarious to think about.
There are some Metroid enemies and uhhh nothing else.

Well, I for one always thought Metroid might enjoy a little more success if it had a bit more light-heartedness to it...without abandoning its sense of isolation, of course.
Like a slightly cuter style, maybe more subtle visual gags, etc.

The trailer specifically says that it takes place in the "Metroid Prime universe," just in case there was any doubt left that Nintendo considers the continuities to be separate now for some reason.

If it has a lot of variety, it will probably end up very good.
Jesus, Nintendo and Sakamoto's handling of Metroid post-Prime Trilogy has been absolute dogshit.
Do you even understand how that image works? I dont think you do.

it'd be more like playing as the guys who build the tracks in a simulator game and slapping F-Zero on it

Because it's a spinoff. This is like the Mario-themed Puzzle and Dragons or Link's Crossbow Training or whatever.
It's not non-canon. I'm not defending what Sakamoto did with Other M but people always misinterpret what he said about Prime - he said they were a sidestory that doesn't impact what he sees to be the core storyline of the Metroid universe much, not that they didn't happen.
I was under the impression that prime was a different universe.

This prime game is such a bummer, what is retro working on?
Right. I don't get why people get upset about that. Both series are canon, just not with each other. Prime kinda went off on a tangent but it's not like they can't make more games set in that universe.

Did they really need to add the Metroid title to this?
I guess they still can't determine what to do with Samus after Other M.

The E3 God giveth, the E3 god taketh away. FF7 remake? New Starfox made by Platinum? Fine, he sighs with a slight chuckle.
Now reap what you have sowed.
Son, you might want to use an example that doesn't sound so FUCKING AWESOME.
Thanks to smash, people would welcome this hypothetical game into their hearts.
Oh wow, I had no idea it was nearly a decade since the last good Mario game when Treasure Tracker came out. Wait a second...

And with this, Nintendo retroactively lost the past five E3s.
It's a spinoff. It's nice that Metroid Prime's world is getting expanded. They will still make real Metroid games.

The suffering continues. They have no idea what to do with Metroid, just throwing random ideas at the wall to see what sticks at this point.
This screenshot reminds me of Jet Force Gemini...a N64 game.
I think you'll find that that's an Xbox One game!

They already have all the talent they need, including Next Level Games. It's not the issue.
Also, hated Guacamelee, so...
Give it time and a new game to hate.

I mean, are Animal Crossing fans really getting fucked?
They got a pretty substantial 3DS installment just a couple years back, they're getting a cool little spin-off, another that's kind of lame admittedly but seems like it's just meant to expand the franchise a bit, and had a lot of neat playable content in Smash and Kart.
