Another new epic Metroid Dread Trailer - Return of someone we haven't seen in a while... (Some might consider SPOILER)

I think it's the most Epic trailer yet. Shows a ton of environments and enemies and more awesome cutscene/cinematic work of MercurySteam. And well yeah, the big green guy we haven't seen since Super Metroid (not counting Zero Mission)

Infantile attempts at console warring like this are not acceptable.
Still something about this thing makes it look/feel like a shitty phone app, it might be the generic UI or the repetitive background scrolling in a few scenes.

Nintendo doesn't usually do this style of trickle hype for games, this is a shitty weird new thing for them.
 
Looks like they've added detail to the backgrounds too, at least versus the old trailers. Also saw that backgrounds can be interactable, seeker missiles, and that Samus can do some sort of air dash.

Are you that triggered by this trailer that you have to laugh at people's excited reactions to it? Get a life

Exactly....loser. Another asshole for the ignore list.

If you can't handle the reactions aspect of this site, then you probably need to "get a life".

Grade school insults really strengthen your case.

I can handle them fine....why be a passive aggressive asshole? If you don't like a game/trailer, etc...fine. No need to laugh at others that do. Maybe you meant to log into your Era account today and came here by mistake.
 
Same director as Super Metroid?
Nope Yoshio Sakamoto is only a producer this time.

It's directed by the Samus Returns 3DS guy... there were so many awful aspects of that game that are outside of what fits into Metroid, too many annoying "run from this boss" sequences too many annoying bosses with bad mechanics, and other dumb things like the counter move that had shitty timing, things that are truly dreadful.

Just posted it in another thread I opened and I didn't know if it was worth it another... It definitely does... This game went from "welp, I'll buy it cause it's the first metroid in 19 metroid" to "HOLYMOTHEROFGODSAJDBAYSUHD I NEED IT!!"

Well hopefully this turns out to be a good metroid game.
 
Admittedly I watched through squinted eyes because I feel like we have too many trailers for this now and I want to save some of the wow factor for when I play. But this looks awesome. This game's going to go some interesting places and I'm here for it.

Not a ton of hope here, from the way this looks, it's an upscaled 3DS game.

It's not the fault of the dev, look at their previous works. They also made that awful Castlevania remake that tanked big time.

People are thirsty for a new Metroid game despite the oversaturation of the genre in the indies. Some games have done "Metroid" better than Metroid, Nintendo doesn't realize that I guess, they're still used to being the big dogs that just "show up" and get praise for arriving at the party, even if they brought Corona's and have awful BO.

Samus Returns had 2 directors, one from Mercury Steam and one from Nintendo(Takehiko Hosokawa ) plus Sakamoto as producer

Anyways, Dread looks to be a huge improvment over Samus Returns on every way 😁 i bet this game is just gonna be dreadfully awesome

It could look like Super Metroid for all I care and it would still be a bigger GOTY contender than the CinEmATIc TRHUUPPPPLEEEE AAAAAYYYYYY games.

But thankfully, it's the best looking 2D Metroid by far

Now that you say it, yeah it looks like they took Samus Returns, literally upscaled the resolution to 720 and called it a day, damn. I was gonna buy Metroid Dread but i cannot support such low effort from Nintendo 😔party is over guys

Also, everyone complaining about the lab/white environment in the E3 trailer. Now a trailer that reveals underwater, lava, outside/sky, forest biomes with literally not a single repeating background in the trailer outside of the Chozo fight and "it's repeating!"

Game looks gorgeous from a design perspective. Oh and it's not developed by Nintendo.

They are great :messenger_beaming:. It was Sub Boss's post that was sarcastic. Look at what he replied to. The standard "UpScAlEd 3Ds GaMe" rhetoirc that has been flying about since Dread was revealed.
Aw shit, I shouldn't have quit taking coffee, for sure. :goog_relieved:
 
This pumped me up, and makes me want to buy a Switch, so ... mission accomplished, I guess?
Switch OLED ;) ?

LOL I did the same thing at first but then I was like fuck it. Somehow I didn't find it too spoilery. I like how this doesn't truly explain everything still. We still get to go into the game and find out just what the hell is going on.
 
looks better with each trailer. I really don't get the criticism for the graphics at this point, at least when looking at the art direction:

this for example has cool visuals and the colors are chosen wisely. Especially the purple of the tree works really well with the white/robotic and in general the scenery looks nice.

Can't say I agree with any of this.
1: graphically it could be a lot worse. See the no more heroes 3 thread. I'll defend this game to the death bacause it a rare switch game that runs in 60Fps that isn't a port of A game released previously on their console. It also holds its own as a 2D game visually.

2:
the game was announced like 1 month ago? Would you like the cyberpunk method on unveiling a game 7 years before it released?

Shush. You are clearing not seeing it correctly. This is literally Samus Returns just upscaled.

so I'm not an avid follower of this game but was super pumped to hear another 2d metroid was being made. Super Metroid is still one of my favorite games ever.

Looking at this game, there is something that bothers me about the graphics. I read one user mentioned they remind him of cell phone style - I agree 100%. There is something cheap looking about this game. I think SM looks much better. Not sure what it is but it's disappointing. Otherwise, trailer was awesome.

Tell me which phone games look like this. I'll buy them all.
