Man let me tell you that all of my doubts about the DS hardware are gone. The game looks incredible in motion. The 21st can't come any sooner.

Is Metroid Prime a level in Halo 2 or something?

Kon Tiki · Nov 9, 2004

Sound is horrid.

That analoge thumb pad looks like it does it job.

You think so? Maybe so, I honestly was paying more attention to just how loud the system is. Wow, those stereo speakers really make a difference. I gotta say though, the gun sound was really nerveracking.

The sound the gun makes? Yes it is horrid.

Thumb 'strap' for analog control.

cybamerc · Nov 9, 2004

It's really too bad Nintendo didn't include hardware support for mip mapping and texture filtering. The game looks fairly complex poly-wise and has decent textures. With some filtering it would look very good.

Looks straight out of Doom 1 to me.

mrklaw · Nov 9, 2004

considering the positive impressions of the thumb strap, its even more stupid that Nintendo didn't include an analog stick on DS. Sure, the thumb strap is better than stylus, but analog stick beats all.

A wide array of colors will soon be available to counter PSP's neck strap.

Good call. Jag killer app on NDS!

mrklaw · Nov 9, 2004

looking at those videos, I'm wondering if you can use the thumbstrap on the right hand, and use the dpad for moving (left trigger for fire). Thats my standard setup for PCs and consoles (right hand is mouselook).

ninge · Nov 9, 2004

noice!

Yes.

TR, TL, thumb right or left.

I can't tell if you're joking but that pic is hardly representative of how the game looks.

Kiriku · Nov 9, 2004

How is it possible to play a Metroid Prime game without the original Metroid Prime control scheme!?! Impossible, it will never work!! Unless.

Deku Tree · Nov 9, 2004

Looks good. Sounds terrible.

EDIT:

This game so far looks like it plays alot more like and FPS than like a traditional Metroid Prime game. And they give you the option of multiple control schemes.

Mashing · Nov 9, 2004

The gun is too loud and obnoxious, I'll give you that (hopefully you can turn it down), but the music is quite good and the game runs very smoothly from what I could tell... looks like 60 fps.

No, its the hit bowling game on the NES.

evilromero · Nov 9, 2004

Eh, I've been saying this since they demonstrated the final demo at the Nintendo Gamer's Conference. I kept saying how it'll rival all console FPS games.

I hope he was talking about the controls.

Gchaime · Nov 9, 2004

Well, atleast soundwise the stayed true to the nes-classic. Please tell me that it's just the DS's cheap mexican speakers that make it sound so 8-bit.

Either way it looks fantastic.

evilromero · Nov 9, 2004

I'm talking about the controls. Watching the video makes it perfectly clear that Hunters is going in the right direction.

Tthe engine would make a nice goldeneye.

human5892 · Nov 9, 2004

I'd love a 60FPS Goldeneye, even if the texturing had to take a hit.

Please don't use the word Jag. It's insulting. If you can't be bothered to type out "Jaguar" then at least use "JGR".

Kon Tiki · Nov 9, 2004

Never heard it used as insulting term, sorry. I know what you feel, I cringe whenever I see 'jap' used. What does it mean?

olimario · Nov 9, 2004

I can't tell if he's a furry or an Atari famboy.

Miburou · Nov 9, 2004

Um, it was supposed to be a joke.

Kon Tiki · Nov 9, 2004

oh I see .... damn jag lover.

RoH · Nov 9, 2004

Wow those video clips look great to me, and the sound was not that great, but I'm guessing thats just how it was encoded. good base though....

rs7k · Nov 9, 2004

I can't even tell the quality of the graphics from that video. Surely I can't be alone.

kitchenmotors · Nov 9, 2004

The texture quality on the DS is akin to PS One than N64. Lots of detail. Lack of filtering gives the textures a PS One look, but polygon wise it's beyond N64.

I happen to like the textures on the DS. When I go back and play N64/PS One/ Saturn games I far prefer the sharpness of the textures on PS One/Saturn to the blurry dull textures on N64. But then again, I'm not a cheap graphic whore who will bend over and take it like a little bitch for anything that looks nice.

snapty00 · Nov 9, 2004

God, when the Metroid attaches to Samus, it looks so fucking shitty. It's jarring. This game needs texture filtering like there's no tomorrow.

They also might want to just take out that FMV or make it not cut out like that. It's seems cut-off.

BigGreenMat · Nov 9, 2004

That looked damn good to me. Again I agree though why couldn't basic filtering have been included with perspective correction. Still I have to say seeing this along with that DS commercial with lots of games actually being played made me want the DS. The PSP just doesn't seem to be viable yet as far as software goes and also on how quick and fun and playable it will be.

Actually it is. That screen cap was taken from the 11MB video and in motion it really does look that bad. :lol

This game looks like an early 90's fps with a smooth as silk framerate.

Unison · Nov 9, 2004

The funny thing is that the facehugger in the Jag AVP looked better than that.

Get off of it.
This title is more than 'get the job done' and looks superior to Mario 64 even with it's realistic style.

Reasonably funny joke, still all the jokes in this world cannot prevent the success of MP on the DS (or DS for that matter)

Even Yamauchi finds himself laughing as you might notice. It can't be the next Goldeneye though, because the Goldeneye of this gen is Halo.

Unison · Nov 9, 2004

No lie... I'm still getting a DS on launch day. I've looked at blocky pixels before... a few more won't kill me.
