Wow those mods are obnoxious.

It cracked me up when one chatter said "How did you get this game?" and the comment was deleted like 2 seconds later. Funny stuff.
I'm out of the stream for now. I kept getting pop up ads and I couldn't take it anymore but I'll probably go back in in like 5 minutes. I just want to play it, dammit.
OH man wall jumps.
I love wall jumps.

It's pretty clear from just a few moments of watching this: analog control would ruin it.

some genuine backtracking!? surely not!
good reuse of this room with a different perspective. I was hoping they'd take advantage of the camera like this.
The ceiling are SO high up in this game. It's crazy.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
You guys are fucking crazy. No way I'd touch this stream and be spoiled when the game is so close.

Is cynicism genuinely melting away or are people merely looking for good since there's no investment in watching a stream?

Why would you spoil yourself? This is Metroid. METROID!
The pseudo sequel to the best game of all time, Super Metroid.

A lot of my expected issues are still very much present. Additionally, this stream has made me wonder how long this type of game will remain interesting. It looks very, very simple mechanically (the combat is already becoming kind of tedious to watch, at least) but without the really nice Metroid art to support it. There was a moment in the stream when a really cool environment was revealed, but then Samus hit a switch and, without spoiling anything, it made it so much less interesting.ShockingAlberto said:
But I'm being an optimist with my most of my comments here. There are some cool thing they're doing, and it's much more fun to focus on them than the negatives when watching a stream like this.

So far, it looks like a genuinely fun and creative game. Some of the rooms I've seen in just a few minutes are great
hologram room <3
It was kind of on my radar before but I was waiting for a chance to see a stream or a massive influx of reviews to decide. I want.
edit: And the music and sound effects are amazing :>.

I've been excited for it from the start. While I may have been part of an argument about Sakamoto's roll in Prime I was always damn excited for the game.
I stand by my statement in that other thread. This really is taking the look of Super Metroid and putting it into 3D. Where as the Prime series had its own thing going on with the look, color palette and design of the enemies, this one has definitely based all those things off Super Metroid.

If there's one aspect about the game this stream has 'melted away', it's the d-pad control. The game looks like it controls just fine. There was one encounter that relied on a bit of depth, and that did look clunky, but most of the time the camera is pretty smart and the enemy behavior tends not to exploit the depth perception issues the camera coupled with the controls present.

I am painfully reminded that my girlfriend has my Wii to play Just Dance (again, I am actually serious) and No More Heroes, so I am trying to keep any hype down until I can actually play this probably mid-September.

I was on board from the second they asserted it as a conscious design decision. 3D Gameplay does not automatically demand analog control despite the fact that gamers have been trained to think so: If you eliminate "in between" speeds of walking, and limit yourself to 8-way run, you actually make the gameplay faster and tighter. It's the same reason you don't play Tekken, SC, DOA of VF with an analog stick, even though the arenas are in 3D: it's too slow for fast-paced gameplay. (Tobal is one of the exceptions.. the game is a little "mushier" and slower than usual, and its balanced to accommodate that)Rez said:
Analog was wonderful for games like Mario 64, which let Mario be a kind of 3D marionette you could run or walk, stroll in any direction with freedom.... but if the emphasis of your game is tight, fast action, analog isn't necessary.
I also hate how 2D sidescolling portions of games feel with analog control.. and this game looks to have quite a few of those.

Any explanation as to why this releases on a Tuesday in the Americas? It was my recollection that Nintendo drops their major releases on Sundays? I only realized this yesterday, and it made me angry because I WANT THIS GAME SO FUCKING BADLY.

I've only been watching for a half hour... but so far my only complaint is the music: nothing memorable. Just ambiant beeps n boops.
You need to check dat ho and get your wii back now, son.ShockingAlberto said:

I really wish there was more music. I want the lonely atmosphere but the other games did that despite the excellent music playing in most of the environments. Hopefully that changes.

Game over sequence is waaaay pedestrian compared to the Prime series.

Pre-ordered the game w/Art Folio bonus today, whoo!
Big McLargeHuge! :lol One of the best episodes ever. And yes, Mike, Tom and Crow riffing Other M footage would be hilarious. Actually, there is a Metroid reference in the MST3K episode, Being From Another Planet, one of my fave eps, from the Metroid database:
And in the rifftrax for Terminator Salvation (I think that's the one, someone correct me if I'm wrong), one of the three guys makes a reference to Samus being revealed as a woman at the end of the NES game to which one of them replies, "Uh, HELLO?! Spoiler alert!!!" :lol
And if you haven't already seen it, make sure to check out their 1998 Sony Playstation Underground CD riff:

starting to really get tired of the art.
I legit forgot what the gameover screen looked like. After mastering Echoes, any other Metroid Prime replay thereafter was a piece of cake. I don't think I died once replaying the entire Trilogy a year ago.Teknoman said:
Also, I was watching some boss (or mini boss?) fight on that justintv stream and it seemed a little pedestrian. Samus, of course, was moving around like the HBIC that she especially is in this game, but the enemy lacked... something. I am expecting Team Ninja to deliver more explosive, over-the-top fights than Retro Studios, but this one boss (or mini boss) seemed run-of-the-mill.

Yeah. I kind of feel the same watching it, but I'm thinking I may have said something similar watching someone play Super Metroid, or Prime. I'm definitely giving it the benefit of the doubt for now, it does look like a good game but I hope actually playing it makes it click.
