You are faced with overwhelming power
Your highest priority should be simply to survive

There may be a very small opportunity to escape
Don't let your guard down

^^Robot ally said it perfectly; Metroid games in a nutshell
 
Game looks good so far but I think the suit redesign is quite bad. The white/blue one I'm guessing is the nerfed suit, but the varia suit redesign? Just doesn't look as good as it used to. From the visor to the shoulder pads to the hips.
 
I've never liked games where there is something stalking you the whole time. It always takes away from being able to explore and get sucked into the environments.

Easily the worst game coming up,Kirby gets an amazing looking full 3d platformer for the first time and metroid fans get something that looks like Strider 2014 and are happy about it.

If it's anything like Metroid Fusion, it's only during certain sections. Most of the game you're just freely exploring.

Great news. You're not actually being chased the whole time. Most of it is exploration. The EMMI areas only make up a portion of the map.
 
It looks ugly with poor colors and very high contrast for some reason. Everything looks crushed.

Nintendo shouldn't let that iP be handled by such a mediocre third party dev.
 
am i the only one who keeps seeing this game mentioned only to get a momentary heart flutter and think its a post about some brand spanking new Judge Dredd game?

Ill buy it but I hope the stalker enemy isn't in the game too much.
Plus wish they went with a hand drawn art style

Do you mean pixel art or actual hand drawn like Hollow Knight?

I think it looks as good as can be expected on Switch. I'm excited for another proper 2D Metroid, so the graphics take a back seat for me anyways.

Either would of been better TBH.
I'll be buying day one it just lacks the Nintendo charm
 
Some of the recent Metroid Dread trailers, including that one, made me realize that Samus is wearing what's basically "powersuit underwear" at the start of the game. With every upgrade she gets, relevant parts of her regular powersuit return. I think earliest we see her is with just the helmet and chestplate in red metal, the rest is blue/white, like an uparmored Zero Suit. Then she gets the cannon upgrade and the arm cannon changes to regular design, then the morph ball changes her pauldrons, then in a different cutscene we see her with normal boots, etc.

I wonder if there's anything up with that story-wise, or if it's just a new method to visualize the upgrades.
 
Damn ok ok. That trailer was hype. Almost looks like a different game compared to the first reveal.
Def need this game.
 
So, I broke down and bought the Special Edition and Amiibo 2-pack from those accursed scalpers on Ebay. I also already preordered the normal edition digitally.

However, I still haven't replaced my stolen Switch yet because I'm waiting on the OLED edition. I refuse to use scalpers for at least that. :lollipop_unamused:

This was such a weird little trailer. Felt so redundant. Why is it even called "Sounds of Dread"?

I was expecting a final trailer/launch trailer but this didn't really show anything new at all.

Maybe that final trailer will still come before launch? Either way I'm good and I'm just ready to play this game. Gonna be the experience of a lifetime.

Fugly art style, questionable shoehorned stealth and other shit aside.

The soundtrack sounds fucking amazing. It's a god damn shame. Nintendo doesn't regularly sell game OSTs.

Game Informer preview:

Samus' only chance to stand toe-to-toe with an EMMI (that we know of so far) is to grab the temporary Omega Cannon power-up that can blast through their thick armor.

🤮🤮🤮
Phantom Cloak ability, which turns her invisible for a short period, is extremely useful. Players shouldn't rely on it too much, though, as once Samus use up her Phantom Cloak's energy, staying invisible eats away at her health.

I should have read this sooner.

These and many other paragraphs make this sound even worse than the 3ds game. It also talks about how you'll have to keep escaping that stupid padding gimmick in the same area…

I hope they won't show anything new, they've already showed a lot and the few areas, abilities and bosses left should be discovered by players. In exploration focused gamesl like that the feeling of discovery is crucial.
 
Low poly engine, overexposed lighting and the worst looking backgrounds i have ever seen in such game. They look monochromatic, foggy and featureless in any scene so far.

A Metroid game, with threats that you have to keep encountering as you backtrack through the area! And enemies that require special powerups or tactics to defeat! Say it ain't so! :P
