Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, overview trailer (Switch 2)

Cool. Looks much better than it has previously.

Wonder what it looks like running on Switch.
Probably very similar with a lower resolution and worse textures. This is a Switch game at it's core. Even the Switch 2 physical edition comes with the switch cartridge and an upgrade code for the Switch 2 version.

Awesome screens, this will look so sweet in motion on my LG OLED T.V.... I will be going for the 4K 60fps option.. :)

I haven't seen any Switch (1) previews, but this should give a rough idea:

Docked mode: 900p@60fps
Handheld mode: 600p@60fps
(Pretty much the same as Metroid Prime: Remastered)

Docked mode (quality): 4K@60fps
Docked mode (performance): 1080p@120fps
Handheld mode (quality): 1080p@60fps
Handheld mode (performance): 720p@120fps

Haters are always going to hate.. lol.
Haters gonna hate because we got 4 biomes and they arbitrarily put each of the 4 GF Troopers in each one to strip the sense of Isolation and Tension that is featured in every Metroid game because god forbid we have ambient sound and atmospheric music without someone yapping over it. All to ease the tension Metroid fans love and crave. I betcha if you had someone yapping all over Phendrana Drifts it would be an issue for fans too. Even worse when it's suggested you might need them to solve puzzles like Samus is a incompetent when she hasn't needed anyone for the entirety of Metroid Prime 1, 2 and 3. Clear lack of discipline compared to how the GF is shown in both MP2 and MP3 compared to MP4.

It's pretty jarring to me you have to help this "bad engineer" and he was capable of shooting himself down if he had a service pistol on his person the whole time and as trained Military personnel he shouldn't be fumbling his Pistol. Makes you feel like either Myles is a fresh recruit or the whole team are a rookie Squad.

We are getting some "Sonic the Hedgehog's shitty friends" syndrome up in here.

Beyond the cringe Trooper Task Force the game is solid. Day 1 easily. I've been waiting almost 20 years for Metroid Prime 4 and I am not going to let a "The Office" reject turn me away.

Not to mention saying something like:
"Oh wow! Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. What a mess. You're alone, on a planet, with no hope of survival. But, you're also not sitting next to Phil anymore in that cubicle… So… Win?"
, after being teleported from an active war zone knowing full well that Phil and everyone else he worked with at the facility are very likely to all be dead.

What's confusing to me is why mention that sort of thing when as a GF Trooper you wouldn't be sitting in any Office setting to begin with. I think in any kind of "Cast Away" situation the last thing on your mind is sitting in an Office and being more worried about where you are. But I think it's time to move on from Myles Mackenzie.

Maybe the other characters will be more memorable and they got the worst one out of the way.

The big question is if this is only in the tutorial areas, or the full game. I personally feel we will get a mixture of both. But people getting upset at what could be potentially a very small amount of the overall game is just insane.

As for these parts I will reserve judgement until I actually play the game, as it's pretty much subjective opinions based on very little evidence at the moment.

Opinions are subjective by their nature. Talk about a redundant statement. People not sharing your opinion isn't 'insane'.

Some of the people who have actually played the game (note: not you) have the opinion that they quite dislike this stuff.

You are missing my point. It's simply too early to judge either way.
 
No; define haters for us in this context. I think it's important to understand what you're saying.

Is it anyone who has anything negative to say about a Nintendo property? Is that it?
Like I said if my comment does not apply to you simply ignore it. But trying to suggest some level of trolling does not exist with all this is simply ignoring the obvious lol.

I'm sorry; are you directing this at the journalists who have played the game and disliked these elements? Or people here?

If I see a clip of this dialogue and conclude that I do not like said dialogue, in what sense is it 'too early' to judge that dialogue?

No, please just tell us what a hater is. What makes a hater? Who here is a hater? What does it mean?

Why are you talking about trolling? Are haters trolls? Who are you accusing of being a troll because they said that they didn't like an element of a game?
 
I think we need a reality check with the prime series. It's never been a great seller. I love the games but even prime 3 on the Wii only sold niche numbers. The Metroid remaster also only sold low numbers as well. So I guess they are trying to give the series a bit more wider appeal. Now of course this will not sit well with certain fans. But like I have said it's far too early to pass judgement, and the only opinion that matters at the end of the day is ours when we play it.

Why are you so bothered lol..

If you can't understand what i was saying, then I am not sure what to tell you. But I seriously doubt you would listen anyway.

The people who played the game (not you) are passing judgement on what they've played.

The rest of your post is pitch-rolling to get ready to make an argument that it's actually good if Metroid Prime 4 doesn't appeal to previous fans.

Why aren't you prepared to actually explain your own words? Why the evasiveness, exactly?

If you're too afraid to even tell us what a hater is and what behaviour constitutes it, maybe you should stop using the term?

We're all adults here and you literally can't explain yourself.

You or those journalists can't speak for the rest of the Metroid fans. It's personal subjective opinions. Like I said I will pass judgement when I have played the game. And as a fan of the series nothing is putting me off thus far...

I don't need to explain myself to anyone on this forum. Not sure why you care about this so much. I have absolutely zero interest in why you post what you do.

Have you seen a single preview where any journalist has grandly declared that they are speaking for all Metroid fans?

What on earth are you talking about?

So you basically agree, this is all a storm in a teacup lol.

This discussion is about previews and media from the game where both journalists and interested gamers have picked up on some elements in the presentation that they dislike.

When did anybody suggest their personal opinions about this somehow 'spoke' for every Prime fans opinion on it?

Again, what are you talking about?

You seem to have an agenda here, which is fine. I hope it works out for you lol.

It's a day ending in Y and a Nintendo fanboy is acting bizarrely because somebody had a bad word to say about a Nintendo game.

They're also reeeeeeeing like crazy on YouTube.

I could not care lees what anybody says. And now it's the YouTube boycott lol.

So we've gone from haters to trolls to implications that opinions being offered are universal claims to speak for everyone to people having secret agendas.

This is all because some people saw something from the media for a new game that they didn't like and you got triggered for some reason.

Are you ok?

You seem to be taking this far to personally, at a comment that was not even aimed at yourself. So I would say being triggered was more on you my friend. But I will give you the last word as I feel it's far more important to you than me lol...

So why are you throwing around words like hater, troll, implying that people are claiming to speak for everyone and speaking darkly of agendas?

Dude, you've made sure to go back and laugh react at every reply I've made to you. You don't seem unbothered.

This is all because you read some criticism of a Nintendo game and your brain short-circuited.

You must be trolling at this point lol..

You were asked who your comment was aimed at and even what your comment actually meant. You declined to answer on both counts.

Try not to get too upset about people sharing criticisms of a product from a brand you like, it's very unhealthy and makes you look quite strange.

If it's ok with you - as the sort of overseer of the thread - can we return to sharing our reactions to what we're seeing from the game?

I get it you are a massive fan, and to be fair so am I. As I stated my comment was not aimed at you personally. But there are quite a few drive by comments on here and many Nintendo threads, that are trolling.

Now in this case you are going to either like the inclusion of the NPC's or not. Many movies I watch have cringe worthy dialogue in places. But that does not prevent me from liking the movie as a whole. With this we are just going to have to wait and see.

So far what I have seen visually on the Switch 2 has me very hyped for the game.

I hate to say it but I hope the game bombs as a lesson for any other future nintendo games. Marvel dialogue in a nintendo game is not ok.

At least there's a mute option for voice acting if it gets really bad. I've seen some previews where they turned that on because the NPC was talking constantly over the OST while exploring.
 
"Yeah let this game bomb so I never get a Metroid Prime game again. That'll show em"

A series should stand or fall based on its own merits imo, not just on love of a brand and a hope for a better one.

If this reviews well I'll buy it. And a Switch 2. If it doesn't, I won't. Whatever happens to the viability of the series isn't my fault.
 
Riding a motorcycle through a large empty desert still looks really boring and very un-Metroid-like. The rest looks alright.

(And yeah, that kind of dialogue also feels very out of place.)

Don't get me wrong though, the meltdowns of Metroid prime 4 are dramatic as fuck lol

But when I scrolled through the page I was holy shit it keeps on and on , scroll scroll scroll
I can't wait to get home and load up YouTube. Well I guess those guys had to stop suggesting the Switch 2 has not sold any units, and move onto something else lol.
