Posted February 7, 2006 **posted this on Gamespot forums, wonder what u all thought : peace: ** they've already done light and dark beams, flame and ice... whats next?? I reckon one other beam they could make is a cutting beam (like a laser etc). The revo controller would be ideal for this! I imagine fighting one boss where you have to cut key points to make it's armor fall off and reveal it's vulnerable core.... what do you think? :awesome: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2006 That would be extremely sweet. You could use it in the main game too. For example, cutting parts off a locked door in order to proceed past it. Maybe the hinges. Actually, there's a lot of potential for this idea. Using the wave beam will be amazing anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2006 The biggest advance the revo can give to the prime series in my view is the free hand control, getting rid of the slightly overly simple lock-on system.. it would just add more skill and involvment to the game P.S. the cutting beam could also be used as a way to enter more areas, like cutting through a wall etc (if it's made of a certain type of substance maybe) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2006 Thats a very good idea. If its actually in the game you deserve all credit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2006 I'd like to see a load of new functions with the arm-cannon! They could just do so much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2006 P.S. the cutting beam could also be used as a way to enter more areas, like cutting through a wall etc (if it's made of a certain type of substance maybe) You could make it upgradeable, so it can cut through progressively tougher materials, another way of doing the stage unlocking that is traditionally done by obtaining different beam weapons.

Posted February 7, 2006 great ideas. you could have an xray beam to find weak spots to use the said laser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2006 Is there a video ANYWHERE of the Metroid Prime 2 demo being played with the Rev controller at E3 2005? All I've found is the 20 second (or so) video clip of Metroid Prime 3; which by the way has Samus' ship looking and moving REALLY wierd; like a completely new design!

Posted February 7, 2006 Cutting stalagnits on the roof, that fall down on your opponents. But what really would be cool is using the laser-whip to grab tables and rocks in the room with an indianajones-style move and then throwing it into the direction of your opponents. Really big things like vehicles throwing must be very funny, then they explode and destroy everything.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2006 Metroid Prime 2 wasn't demoed with the Rev controller at E3, it was at special demonstrations before TGS and in a few press briefings since. No footage of it being played has been made available, so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better than the cutting beam, and the cutting beam idea was great aswell! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2006 a bit like in half life 2 but without the gravity then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2006 a bit like in half life 2 but without the gravity then? Yeah, but using the grapple beam to throw them, like in SSBM! That'd be awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2006 Id love a redfaction style Metriod, blow up your own holes then roll through them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2006 I like both laser ideas. There should defintely have been more use of the grapple beam in both primes. Aswell as that i'd like to see a melee move in Prime 3, or if anything just be able to swing the controller and beat the crap out of enemies close quater. Just an idea.

Posted February 7, 2006 Good call Lazy... (or not so) So many times have i just wanted to take my Phazon encrusted knuckle (Prime 1) and lamp some little shitster with it. Wouldn't want to hurt the arm cannon of course... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 7, 2006 cool idea i reckon dual wield remote would be great tho, one for the arm cannon the other for grapple beam, i think that it should have a different use as well because the spin attack just made grapple unnecessary. maybe a magnetic pulse or something gadget like .

Posted February 7, 2006 Yeah, but using the grapple beam to throw them, like in SSBM! That'd be aaawesome! I loved the gravity gun Half-Life 2 and it would fit Metroid Prime so well It'd be cool if they used an air pressure gun that could flip really distant switches and push huge boxes out of the way.

Posted February 7, 2006 A cutting beam would be cool and the upgrades would be to get through doors with harder material instead of all the different kind of beams,good theory and certianly possible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 7, 2006 ummm. jesus...wtf a cutting BEAM right aint that just a LIGHTSABRE!??? how is a cutting beam a lightsabre??? a lightsabre is about 1-1.5m in length , can be used like a sword and can deflect lasers. A beam is infinite in length and cannot be used like a sword or deflect lasers...... anyway, it's just an idea!!! : peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
