I cant get over metroid prime being 60 fps

Leave it to Nintendo to get the best out of their own machine.
F-Zero GX is also very impressive on GC and had a butter smooth 60fps framerate
I don't know why nobody is making a A or AA good fzero clone these days. 24.99 on psn, I'd bite.

Best launch of that gen for sure. Best system? Not a chance.
3. Metroid Prime 3. You either quoted the wrong person or overlooked the number. Anyways, MP3's loading times often were north of 10s, some even reported loading times of up to 30 seconds.
Longest loading time I've ever witnessed in Metroid Prime 1 must have been 2 seconds or so. Very good

Yeap. 60fps and rock hard.
Yeah, sadly I'm being honest. I played a little (veeeery little) of the N64 version on the Wii VC, but I never got my hands on the GC one. I've seen many people praising it, but I didn't know it looked so good and was so fast and.. I don't know, fluid?

Doesn't matter. It hit 60. A much more important statistic than any bells and whistles.
This is just false. I remember some doors taking obnoxiously long to load, like for the artifact temple and bigger rooms in general.
yeah, maybe not obnoxiously long, but they did take more time
I was thinking this the other day and I have no idea how Nintendo pull it off. The majority of their games are 60fps and it just blows my mind. I mean how the fuck did they get Super Mario Galaxy at 60fps? It's one of the best looking games I've played yet somehow they manage it.
Correct, SEGA developed it, but it was supervised by Miyamoto and some other Nintendo people.
I now read that SEGA used enhanced version of the Super Monkey Ball Engine. Holy shit

It's got everything you could want, starting with an enhanced version of the Monkey Ball engine, with that same flawlessly smooth aesthetic as its simian sibling, gliding along at a lightning 60 frames per second throughout. It's packed with beautiful background effects like giant worms arching over the desert tracks, breathtaking weather effects and dazzling ignition and boost effects on every handsome racer, each of them visually molested by weapons damage and barrier contact at regular intervals, and appreciably beefed with every subsequent addition of custom parts.

Metroid Prime, Prime 2 and Prime 3 is my favorite trilogy ever. Thank you, Nintendo.
Also, I have that F-Zero GX gif saved in my hard drive. It is so good that I had to save it the first I saw it.
I would love a new F-Zero for
Wii U.
Hopefully it is for the 3DS. I will probably get shit for saying this, but whatever. I miss Metroid in handhelds.

It doesn't need to be Prime 4. It only need to be developed by Retro. Sakamoto needs to stay the fuck away from the development of the game also.

I don't think the GC Prime games are too graphical intensive. The art has always stood out much more for me.

F-Zero GX was made by Sega and Metroid Prime by guys in Texas.
either way I'll be happy, just wanted to admire the spectacle of a MP4 on the WiiU
MK8 is Disneyland (crazy attention-to-detail themed rides that make you feel like you're in another world) to F-Zero GX's Six Flags (straight balls-to-wall roller coasters).

Forget Zelda, Prime 4 is what I want to see more than anyting.
I think I'd be puking trying to play either game with a VR headset.

I replayed the game recently. If obnoxiously long is a second or two, then fine dude. Some people thought the 10 second load times for an incredibly long and detailed Tropical Freeze level was obnoxiously long as well. I would say all things considered, the load times for all Retro's games, outside of Corruption, are extremely impressive.

I recently came a Ross a copy of the Wii Trilogy. U look forward to replaying them all on my Wii U and on my new big screen.

That F-Zero.gif just reminds me of my first year of uni and playing four player with my friends over. We'd switch between this and Burnout 2, and after we'd been playing GX for a while, Burnout felt so slow and easy. What a badass game.
Back on topic: Metroid Prime. No need to gush anymore, this game is still that good. Played twice on GC and once on the Trilogy disc. Hope to go back to it again sometime, but perhaps after I beat Echoes and Corruption again. This is one of those titles that's going to remain in my collection forever.

I still can't deal with how the Gamecube failed. It had such good first party stuff.
Metroid Other M2: MoreMotherly confirmed (it's gonna be at E3, Sakamoto said, don't bother him about it).

well it does matter that the afformentioned statement is wrong about the room sizes (Phendrana Drifts and Magmoor Caverns as standouts) some of the best level design to be incorporated in FPS is found in the prime games.
Some of the statements in this thread are hilarious. All the people trying to downplay Prime to rationalize its framerate.
Like this one. Did you even play the game?

I'm sad I can't tell the difference btw 30 GPS and 60 fps
Not seeing how this refutes the post at all. And yes, I played the game, beat it about 10 times, in fact, and even got into the sequence breaking community for it for a bit back near the game's release. That room is not particularly large and is, like the rest of the game, very cramped and closed-in.

Where did I say or imply that it mattered? Seems to me like you are insecure.
OP asked why the game managed to run at 60, and I explained why. End of story.
You might notice the quoted part of your post had nothing to do with cramped or closed-in level design. It's also false for several rooms in the game, including the one I linked to. It's okay to admit when you're wrong.
I love this impossibly challenging game, and my palms get sweaty just looking at this GIF. I can hear the menu select music playing in the background

Also, this tune is ace (1:15) on the second laps when you get boost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iCrqckBbpQ
Here's a video of the Thermal Visor room: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBaG_YYV1os
You fight 2 to 3 pirates at a time and then, after you grab the visors, a few Metroids (about 4?) pop out. The room is small and closed-in, requiring a load both to enter and exit, like every other room in the game. That is how the game is able to maintain a constant 60fps. End of story. Unless you have some evidence to present to the contrary, I'm done talking to you. Later.

If it's a 3DS game I think they would be wasting retro on it.
Let next Level Games or HAL labs have a crack at a brand new 2d metroid on 3DS. Have Retro do Metroid Prime 4 on wii u and launch them both the same day as they did with Fusion/Prime 1.

Kind of off-topic but F-Zero X seems like one of the few 64 games to not actually chug at all and have smooth framerate on 64 even today.

Wasn't it SEGA who got the best out of Nintendo's machine?
SEGA developed FZeroGX
One could also argue Capcom also achieved ungodly things with GCN
REmake, RE4

Aren't most nintendo games 60fps?

Why is it so hard to believe? A ton of games were 60fps back in the day.
Please. This is an outright lie.
Those of us who don't look for it don't notice it. I wouldn't have a clue what FPS a game has, just a general idea how good or bad it looked. I've been playing MK8 for days and I've not noticed this missing frame that some claim is as noticeable as night and day.
Anyone got a good video that clearly shows the difference?

Metroid Prime was impressive, but significantly less graphically impressive than 30fps games like Halo CE, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, or Riddick.

I remember being absolutely blown away by this F-Zero GX trailer. "Powered by TRIFORCE". Good times...
