Posted June 2, 2009 Nintendo are probably worse. Gah, there's no hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 The only thing with the story is that I hope it just doesn't try to overdo it, or become too cheesy, or even "too gritty that it becomes laughable." Even then, it wouldn't be a game breaker for me, I think. Hmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 2, 2009 Me and some of the guys from the uni watched it together. Everyone said the Nintendo Press Conference sucked right up to the showing of Mario Galaxy 2, whereafter they just thought it was dissapointing. When they saw the Team Ninja logo go on, they all gasped for breath, and when they saw Samus they screamed like little girls! This game seems awesome. I just hope it's not entirely a 2D game. A more combat and story oriented third person Metroid would kick buttocks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 The lady with the long blonde hair at the end of the trailer is the one in the Zero suit at the beginning, whilst Samus Aran is the one with the short blonde hair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 The subtitle is lame but the gameplay looks crazy (if that was in-game footage). The story could go either way though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 im gunna take a wild guess and say the final boss of this game will be like the final boss of SM, but instead of a Metroid saving you at the last minute, its Adam predictable, but...i wouldnt put it past nintendo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 The lady with the long blonde hair at the end of the trailer is the one in the Zero suit at the beginning, whilst Samus Aran is the one with the short blonde hair.Interesting!... so was she the original Samus or something? What's Samus doing on all these high tech stations anyways, I thought she was raised by the Chozo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 Heres the link http://twitter.com/RetroStudios Yes but that probably is not Retro's actual twitter. The message suggests it was made by people at GAF! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 Yeah but not on orbiting space stations etc... were they? And they gave Samus the Power Suit didn't they. That trailer makes it seem like a research project, so which Samus is the second test case, after the other blonde lady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 Judging from the clip though, this game would appear to be only Metroid in name and story - I'm having difficulty believing the gameplay will remain having seen that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 Well they were focusing on the action packed sections I guess! It looks like the game itself will be a combination of third person and perhaps some 2d exploration with also first person bits for some things. I'm still expecting there to be a lot of exploration like the other titles, otherwise I would be disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get me wrong, it looked amazing and I'll get it even if it gets panned, but it didn't scream the classic Metroid gameplay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 I hope so. Don't get me wrong, it looked amazing and I'll get it even if it gets panned, but it didn't scream the classic Metroid gameplay. No it didn't. But it did look AMAZING and was the sole highlight of the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 Holy... Just... And...but... :o Initial shock aside, I think I can warm up to a spin-off. I mean, it may be more story-based, but the gameplay is not like a traditional Metroid's, either. I'm sure the gameplay will be great. Ninja team are behind this, after all. That, and they're bringing several Metroid staples into this (not just aesthetically), so I have high hopes for an awesome Nintendo action game. That it's based on Metroid is an incredible, incredible bonus. As for the story, surely it follows the time she worked for Adam. And I have a feeling there will be plenty of flashbacks.

Posted June 2, 2009 Big interesting point is that Retro are basically a no-show... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 Having only played Prime 1 & 2 [but thougt I was up on the whole story], who is Adam? ...from Super Metroid? Big interesting point is that Retro are basically a no-show...Yeah big suprise! Glad they've been allowed to move on from Metroid though. Wonder if they'll release something in the next few days.

Posted June 2, 2009 Having only played Prime 1 & 2 [but thougt I was up on the whole story], who is Adam? ...from Super Metroid? In Metroid Fusion, Samus mentions her former CO, Adam, whose catchphrase was "Any objections, lady?" (so I jumped at hearing him say that, not seeing her suit ) By the way, go play Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission. Definitely worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 As far from the Metroid gameplay as it looked, man it stll looks unreal! This was an awesome trailer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2009 Pretty sad that Retro didn't show anything I was hoping for a big announcement. Before this conference I was hyped for: - Retro's showing - Factor 5's exclusive - Bethesda's Wii game And they all never materialised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
