Posted June 25, 2007 Yeah, and let's not forget that Japan doesn't have a release date either. Thats true but they are not really know for their love of Metroid anyway. Hopefully we'll get this in September! *wishful thinking* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 25, 2007 Yeah, Japan doesn't really like Metroid and it's going off Zelda. They're all about Pokemon/Mario/Final Fantasy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 26, 2007 Amazon are idiots. They said Super Mario Galaxy would be released as a Wii launch title. They were wrong. Still, some good deals, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 26, 2007 They should use the Metroid engine for the next Zelda game. That'd be awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 26, 2007 That would make no sense whatsoever. Urm...actually it made perfect sense. He is suggesting that Nintendo use the game engine for Metroid Prime 3 Corruption for the next Legend of Zelda game. I think it was fairly black and white, personally.

Posted June 26, 2007 A Zelda game, using the Metroid engine, with a GRAW like camera angle behind link would be so awesome. An engine designed for one game being used for an entirely different kind of game with entirely different technical requirements and a Zelda game with the camera of a third person tactical shooter. What the f*ck are you smoking? Not that a Metroid engine couldn't be modified to run Zelda, but why would you? What's so special about the Metroid engine?

Posted June 26, 2007 An engine designed for one game being used for an entirely different kind of game with entirely different technical requirements and a Zelda game with the camera of a third person tactical shooter Metroid and Zelda have a lot of common elements - Metroid just has more shooting and less NPCs that you can talk too (although scanning seems replace that). The perspective is the main difference - just like the 2D games. The "technical requirements" are similar - large environments built for exploration. And a new engine could help with making Zelda feel "fresh," so what better than the Metroid Prime engine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 26, 2007 Exactly. Something needs to be done to make Zelda fresh again. Resi 4 was totally scraped, and turned in to what it is now, and the series is much better for it now. Zelda, although great, needs a change. Imagine being able to use the boomerang, slingshot, and all of the other weapons while on the move while using a lock on similar to Metroid's. Bring me a Zelda on the Metroid engine please.

What the f*ck are you smoking? Not that a Metroid engine couldn't be modified to run Zelda, but why would you? What's so special about the Metroid engine? There's no reason why they couldn't modify the engine to make it work, and what's wrong with a third person angle similar to GRAW's? It isn't the camera angle which makes GRAW a tactical shooter. There's no logical reason it wouldn't work well in a Zelda game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incase you haven't noticed, both Metroid Primes were a series of pretty small rooms. Zelda, on the other hand, has Hyrule field. What would an engine change accomplish? The Prime 3 engine isn't doing anything the Twilight Princess engine didn't. It's the basic polygon/texture stuff with BLOOM LIGHTING. Heck, unless I see some water effects going on you could actually assume the TP engine is the more feature-rich. Graphics wouldn't really be affected either as it's all entirely down to artwork.
