If your favorite gun in Halo is the Plasma rifle and you always wished there was a Halo game where you could only use that gun for the entire playthrough, have I got a game for you.

Bro you said it yourself. If you think that a game looks good based off of its polygonal count, texture resolution, or special effects, I don't know what to tell you. To me, the most important part of a game's visuals is the overall art direction. That's why games like Chrono Trigger, Wind Waker, Cuphead, Shadow of the Colossus, Yoshi's Island, Bloodborne, Journey, Okami, etc. are still all gorgeous to this day.
No one is arguing that Prime 4 is technologically advanced, or pushing the latest in visual tech. But it has excellent visual design and style so far, and if Prime Remastered is any indication, there will be great set pieces and style throughout the whole game.

It is. They're basically going the Prime 3 bombastic intro route where you have all your stuff from the get-go.
After this section you'll be teleported to an unknown planet, supposedly through the artifact that Sylux is at this Federation planet to steal.

Graphics look great, gameplay is very traditional Prime. The cut-scenes are gorgeous, possibly the best ever in a Nintendo game.
For a game launching in 2025 we have seen virtually nothing. The first 10 minutes of the game which is a tutorial and some snippets of another very early area.
This is quite possibly the most secretive Nintendo has ever been about a major title, long in development, this close to apparent release.
Something's up... There must be some big twist or unique gameplay hook beyond just "Psychic Powers"

I get the art argument for all the games you mentioned. This game doesn't fit that.

Looks like a prettier Prime 3. And that game was so-so back in 2007.

This game I think should've been in 3rd person, taking some inspiration from Returnal in gameplay.
Nintendo has played too safe.

That'd be fine for something 'new', but it would be very disappointing for a Metroid Prime game imo. I want visors, scanning, and the works.

They litterally did the same for Tears of the Kingdom, before realizing people were thinking that if they don't show anything that means the game has nothing to show for, so they tried to put more stuff last second

It's a Switch 1 game at its core

Either people complain about "its too safe" or if it's too different "it's not my Metroid".
Literally people in GAF saying Silent Hill f is not real Silent Hill just because it has Japanese setting.

Halo? Is that you? Is it possible to copy Halo even more? cmon now
I mean. Space pirates were a thing before halo even existed

It needs to have all the scanning, exploration etc. Just the gunplay needs to be more inspired.
This is the first reaction I get by watching it.
If Metroid Dread can take gameplay so much further, not sure why Prime cannot do it.
BOTW was massive departure, but was taken well. If devs have a good reason to make changes they should do so.

Well, to be fair, the space pirate designs before Halo's existence weren't very similar to the ones we have now.
I guess, but I think it's fine as long as the combat is serviceable. The different beams/powers should be used/designed mainly for exploration and puzzle solving rather than combat anyway, imo.

Doesn't she usually lose her powers at the beginning of the game? (At least this happened in Metroid Prime 1 & 2 for what I can remember)

I played it on the gamescom, the demo ends with a small event i think is stripping her of her powers.

It's 2025 and people still complain about the gunplay in Metroid Prime ?
"Shooting" is just a mean on Metroid, it is absolutely not the core of the experience. So it needs to stay simple and effective, because you have a lot of other things you have to do.
For example Doom Eternal gunplay has no place in Metroid. Micro managing health and ammo with too many buttons for the controller just sucks.
Nobody ever complained about the gunplay in 2D Metroid games.

Hopefully at least it has added mechanics like dash, evade etc.
Even the most safe looking titles (eg Gears 5, Uncharted 4 etc) have enough under the hood so that they feel like generational leaps.
Nobody is asking for Doom Eternal gameplay here. But something more precise and satisfying like Returnal wouldn't be amiss here.
Not sure if you played Metroid Dread, but it is a massive leap over previous 2D Metroid games.

I'm personally mostly curious about what the psychic stuff will/can bring to the table. That seems to be the big new thing for this one. What they've shown so far hasn't been very impressive though.

Hopefully it has solid atmosphere, lore, feeling of mystery etc.
Needs to go back to MP 1 & 2 in those regards.

Sorry for being off topic boys but : Why no Metroid Dread S2 update yet ? I mean, it's a 1st party game ffs...
Bought it , played it for an hour but shelved it in the hopes of an increased resolution patch /S2 update.

Who knows.. You could ask that about most Switch (1) games right now I feel. They've given us free updates for ~11 out of >70 (?) first party titles.
And one of the games they chose to prioritize to give a Switch 2 update over something like Metroid Dread was Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain..
Nintendo gonna Nintendo.

Not to mention you're instantly playing and it instantly rules. It's not a 90 minute walk & talk & cutscene fest.

Man, some of you are fucking grumps. Haven't had a Prime game since 2007 and we all know the setting shown here isn't going to be the whole game. We all know this by now. I don't know why the fuck anyone is fixated on it. Shooting these fucking sponges is the least interesting part of a Prime game anyway. Always has been. The best parts will be what we haven't seen. Hopefully, the game delivers in a lot of other aspects.

Graphics look really good. Not sure why people bagging on them. Looks better than any Nintendo exclusiven so far on Switch 2, which isn't saying much as Nintendos work has been so underwhelming on Sw2.

Can't believe Nintendo hasn't patched MP Remastered for Switch 2 in anticipation of MP4's release! Game looks like shit on the 1080p handheld mode ...shame on Nintendo for not doing the bare minimum for Switch 2 buyers!

How did I play Metroid Dread then?vaibhavpisal is showing much 'concern' for a game thread of a console he obviously doesn't own....
Anyways, am day 1 on Prime 4. But am not getting blown away by what is shown. Day 1 simply cause its Metroid.

You don't need a SW2 for Dread and to the rest of what you said says.... Says no Metroid fan!

When you read something like Metroid is copying Halo you know that this thread is full of them.

There is only one game poster in my room, its Metroid.
I might be a fan, but this should've been a jump, not a re hash.
Again, these trailers can be deceiving, there can be a good generational leap under the hood. Am open for that. But if it still feels pea shooter like on Wii, I will be disappointed for sure.

Possibly controversial, but I never saw what made Halo special like others did back in the day, outside of maybe multiplayer. Single player wise it did nothing that shooters hadn't already done before, and better, many years prior.
Prime however. That was a special game. 2&3 weren't as great, but still very good.

No single player shooter on console controlled like Halo did before Halo. Halo was the first major game that proved how well FPS games could work on console.

Goldeneye and TimeSplitters played great to me. There's also everything else that makes a great campaign experience. I found many games before Halo offering what Halo didn't years later.
That being said. Personal preference also plays a massive part.

Go play Goldeneye today and tell me it plays great. Come on lol
