I think it's because the prime series concept belongs in the GameCube era. Exploration and traversal of a complex map is overall better in 2d. They've went as far as they could with those 3 games and it's why it looks underwhelming for a fourth installment by playing it safe. Hopefully, I am wrong.

 

[pulicat]

It clearly looks worse than MP Remastered, the textures in particular. Which makes sense, because it's clearly a more expansive game, so something has to give.

It's clearly better than MP Remastered in many ways, from models, assets, polycount, geometries, lightings, physics, and etc.

MP Remastered looks gorgeous but still flat in many departments as it still used the old models as a base.

 

[Sleepwalker]

It doesnt matter if you spend 10 years developing a game if youre still developing it for a 2015 tablet processor.

Hopefully the switch 2 version looks a bit better.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Great trailer... but I hate this f*cking purple in everything trend. Everything is purple now

Gravity Suit

The Gravity Suit (グラビティスーツ Gurabiti Sūtsu) (Gravity Feature in Metroid: Other M) is an upgrade for Samus Aran's Power Suit. As its name implies, the Gravity Suit's primary function is to negate extreme gravitational effects around its wearer, such as zero gravity in space. Usually obtained after...

Metroid used purple long before everything else.

 

[Pimpollo818]

As cool as this is, I'd bee much more excited for new 2-D entry.

 

[Chuck Berry]

This may be the worst trailer I've ever seen.

Looks great.

 

[Muffdraul]

I'm still super hyped to play a new Metroid Prime, but ngl, so far what they've shown is... underwhelming.

 

[GymWolf]

Underwhelming.

 

[MrJangles]

I don't give a shit how it looks, it'll still be infinitely better than any shooter you care to mention on any other format

 

[Hookshot]

No date but also no 2 & 3 is doubly annoying.

 

[justiceiro]

Good that people saying the initial reveal looked impressive stopped living on cool aid.

 

[pulicat]

Seriously though, normal neogaf users technical knowledge about graphics are much worse than resetera lol

How is the game at N64, GameCube, PS3 level graphically? It's pretty much the best-looking Switch game.

Anytime GAF calls something a PS3 game I take it as compliment.

 

[DR3AM]

They should have worked a on new Donkey Kong game instead

 

[Solarstrike]

Gotdamnit purple again

 

[BlueManifest]

I thought this was the best looking switch 1 game I’ve seen, are people serious

 

[RoadHazard]

Good that people saying the initial reveal looked impressive stopped living on cool aid.

It did look much more impressive than this though. Probably how it will look on Switch 2.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Cryengine now has a new opponent.

 

[Flabagast]

This looks ... very bad actually

Very disappointing

 

[GigaBowser]

better metorids combats
best nintendos garphics ever
3d physisc
metroid prime

best game ever??

 

[daclynk]

That is the Nintendo best switch game graphically and its 60fps

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Looks underwhelming, basic, and outdated.

Metroid needs a big AAA overhaul of the whole thing to be interesting.

 

[Daniel Thomas MacInnes]

I’m honestly surprised this wasn’t going to be an exclusive Switch 2 launch title. I hope this doesn’t suggest that the new console’s launch will come later than expected, in summer or perhaps even fall.

We can see Nintendo’s reluctance to let go of the Switch and enter the next generation, but we all know how difficult it is for consoles champions to have a repeat season. The obly one to ever have succeeded was PlayStation 2. And? Let’s be honest, Sony had a couple very unique advantages that will never be replicated ever again.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Seems pretty clear that the lack of release date is because it’s cross-gen. But I still think it’s first half this year. We’ve waited long enough. They’ve taken long enough

Don’t ruin their little party

 

[Lupin3]

I thought I was prepared to be underwhelmed, but I was still underwhelmed.

 

[PeteBull]

Game looks decent(not crazy amazing but proper) considering we talking switch here, aka handheld that even in docked mode is 3x weaker from xbox one, that was considered underpowered even bak on its launch, holidays 2013

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Hoping Switch 2 version looks significantly better. Huge Prime fan but uhh, might have to wait for player feedback on this one.

 

[Stafford]

My mind playin tricks on me or was the first trailer better looking, might that have been captured from the Switch 2 version?

I recall this too. It definitely seemed to look better there. But it's been a while, maybe we are wrong.

 

[daclynk]

Nintendo always does this, this is NOT the trailer to sell the game, is just an update.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Gotdamnit purple again

You never played a Metroid game I take it?

 

[Hideous Snake]

Trailer didn't click with me. Happy to know the game is still alive

 

[GoldenEye98]

This look like halo 4

Halo 4 looks next-gen compared to this

 

[A2una1]

Yet no Prime 2 Remastered...

 

[ADiTAR]

It looks amazing in pictures, bad in the trailer. Not sure why that is, but if it is the same quality as MP:R I'm beyond fine.

I think they showed a little something different and def more puzzle (Zelda like) stuff which I'm happy about. The enemies do need more recoil, but I'm not really playing Metroid for combat. I am happy we'll see something added like the abilities, and jumping through time is very zelda.

Let's see the next trailer next week and decide.

 

[LordOcidax]

Happens every time… and every time the same reaction here And when Nintendo release THE TRAILER this kind of threads becomes a eating crow feast.

 

[Stafford]

I'm sure the final game will be great, I'd be shocked if it's not but for now.....Mehtroid.

Sorry.

 

[Calverz]

Not going to lie. This fell a bit flat for me compared to first trailer.

 

[tamago84]

Nintendo literally showed a shit version so more people buy/upgrade to switch 2. Massive 5head marketing

 

[wondermega]

I'm clearly so far out of the demo for this, but I clicked on it anyway. Wow, what happened here? This is the state of AAA Nintendo gaming now? It's not like it looks bad, it just looks like, well, nothing. If it didn't have the Metroid name attached to it, nobody would care. It looks like one of those games where a developer was given a checklist of things to include and so they did, soullessly - like it was a job for hire, and they did what was asked, but not because anybody really cared about what they were making, other than doing their job (competently, mind you) and getting paid. Someone art directed this, someone wrote a script for this VO, and they hired someone to read the VO. I can't say I expect to hear anything about this game 1 month after it releases. Oh sure, it could be a big fakeout and they are holding back on all the REAL interesting stuff in the game but... why would they do that at this point?

Sorry to go off, I don't mean to poo poo on the game while some others here are obviously excited about another game in this long storied franchise, but if you told little-kid me that the amazing Metroid games which were so incredibly enthralling to me back in the day (NES, GB, SNES) were going to wind up as this uninspired color-by-numbers drivel - meanwhile we live in a world where actual horror sci-fi (Metroid started there) has gone some interesting places in games & film - I'd be at least disappointed and at most kind of angry, probably.

Anyway, like I said, not for me. Maybe someone else will make that game.

 

[eNT1TY]

Looks like Gameloft tried making a Metroid game.

 

[Azelover]

Why don't you guys rip into every other Switch game? This is one of the best looking ones..

Is it because it's a first person shooter? It automatically gets compared to other systems..

I don't give a shit. It looks superb to me and I'm definitely gonna buy it.

 

[Ponderling]

Could have harnessed the hype so much better with a more exciting trailer.
Nonetheless it's Metroid Prime and will be glorious.

 

[delirium trigger]

Gameplay looks like it hasn't evolved since Metroid Prime. It'll get a 9.2 though.

 

[nial]

Insane that Retro Studios' last new game was 11 years ago.
Shame because I loved Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, but mismanagement has killed them.

 

[Xellos]

Game looks pretty good but the narration ruins the trailer.

 

[JusticeForAll]

That's a terrible trailer. I don't even now who would approve this, higher up. It looks like an expansion to the earlier games, that came out years ago.

Underwhelming beyond believe. This franchise deserves more.

 

[blacktout]

I agree with those who said that this trailer was kind of mid.

I hope there's a cross-gen version, not only because I think the muddy graphics would look much nicer at a higher resolution, but also because the psychic powers they showed off feel like they would control way more smoothly and precisely with the Switch 2's mouse controls than with gyro.

 

[SALMORE]

what they showed was definitely boring

Because they know this one will absolutely piss all over garbage like Call of Duty, Doom, Halo etc.
