Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

[killer kirby]

Perhaps in the end it shows how mother brain comes back and also how this game could possibly connect with Metroid 2 and Super Metroid....this game shall be very intersting

[DCK]

Wow, this is brilliant stuff!

Mother Brain (or relatives) in Metroid Prime 3 meaning it actually connects to the other Metroids now

and that spider ball gameplay looked really fast and intuitive.

 

I hope we get different vids if we get the Channel over here.

It was connected before. MP started out as Samus hunting down the remaining Space Pirates after the destruction of their homeworld in the original Metroid, but she ended up getting caught in the phazon plot.

 

I wonder if we'll see SR388 in MP3...

[canand]

I hope we get this channel.

[Gizmo]

It would be funny if the controls changed to Monkey Ball Style when you use the morph ball. Not that it would be good.

[Sparko]

The morph ball vid was gorgeous.

 

Cool mother brain again ya!

 

I agree, it was stunning wasn't it? Can't wait to play this!

[Chris the great]

i doubt we will se mother brain again, remember she dies in metroid and super metroid, we should however see her kin, they could be proper legends, i imagine some of the scans will reveal how she became corrupt and led the space pirates.

The Prime games are set before Super Metroid (and Metroid 2).

[Dante]

The Prime games are set before Super Metroid (and Metroid 2).

 

Yes, the order of the Metroid timelines goes Metroid/Metroid ZM> Metroid: RoS>Metroid Prime> Metroid Prime 2> Metroid Prime 3> Super Metroid> Metroid Fusion.

[Chris the great]

The Prime games are set before Super Metroid (and Metroid 2).

 

indeed, but i dont think they would resorect her twice, i mean, im not saying it cant happen, but im saying its unlikely to happen. if you reserect some one and they die again, its like oh turd, dead again, but then, i suppose ridly came back a few times, if you will him in prime 3 that will mark his 3rd deah, and forth being in super metroid.

 

i just dont think the story will take the mother brain route, possibly a father brain or somthing like that,

 

dante, are you sure return of samus is before prime? the pirate scans say that zebus has just been destroyed, which places it straigh after metroid, and samus dosent seem that shocked by the pirate metroids, which she thought to be extinct.

[Cube]

Ridley wasn't "fully" killed until Fusion, IIRC (Funny...all that time and Samus isn't the one who kills him).

 

And for all we know, "Mother Brian" could be the general term for the Space Pirates' main computer, and not one individual supercomputer/gigantic brain.

i suppose, though id wager the brain is is mother brain and heir main computer, the demo does state them to be super computers or somthing like that.

 

i wounder if there will ever ben post fusion metroid games

Like the semi-announced-ages-ago-but-still-no-actual-info-on-the-game Metroid Dread? (Sidescroller for DS).

Where what happend to that game?

[pedrocasilva]

Where what happend to that game?

It was quietly canceled, or put on hold indefinitely.

Return of Samus is after Metriod Prime series Chris.

 

Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission (1986/2004)

Samus travels through the caverns of the planet Zebes to stop the Space Pirates from exploiting the Metroid species for galactic domination. She confronts the cybernetic lifeform Mother Brain, as well as its guardians, Kraid and Ridley. In Metroid: Zero Mission, it is revealed that afterwards Samus was ambushed by Space Pirates after defeating Mother Brain and escaped from Zebes, and her ship crash-lands back on the surface. Stripped of her Power Suit and her gunship destroyed, she is forced to infiltrate the Space Pirate Mothership in order to find a way off the planet with only an emergency pistol for protection. After receiving a fully-powered suit from deep within the Chozo ruins, she steals an escape pod from the Space Pirate Mothership, as well as triggering its self-destruct sequence after eliminiating Mecha-Ridley.

 

Metroid Prime (2002)

Samus receives a distress signal in her new ship and travels to Tallon IV to stop the Space Pirates from exploiting a powerful radioactive substance known as Phazon. She discovers that the ancient people who raised her and bestowed her with the Power Suit, the Chozo, once settled on Tallon IV, and their disappearance, as well as the emergence of Phazon, is due to a meteor crashing on the planet at an unknown date. The Chozo sealed away the source of the Phazon, and left the planet. Their prophecies foretold Samus' arrival, and they left her numerous weapons to help her defeat the source of the Phazon. After gathering all the abilities, having her suit corrupted by Phazon and collecting the 12 artifact keys, she unseals the Impact Crater and confronts Metroid Prime, a mutated Metroid and the source of the Phazon. After killing it, Metroid Prime absorbs Samus's Phazon Suit, and dies. However, collecting 100% of the items reveals that Metroid Prime has lived on, wearing the Phazon Suit.

 

Metroid Prime Hunters (2006)

When the Galactic Federation receives an unusual telepathic message, Samus is sent to the remote Alimbic Cluster in the Tetra Galaxy to uncover the rumored "Ultimate Power." Six rival bounty hunters that also heard the message attempt to secure the power before anyone else, including Samus. It transpires that the promise of ultimate power was actually a lie sent by the creature Gorea, sealed away by the Alimbics in a void between dimensions. After killing Gorea, Samus and the six bounty hunters all leave the cluster, empty handed, but alive.

 

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (2004)

Samus is sent to investigate the planet Aether after communication with a squad of Galactic Federation troopers was lost. Samus finds them all dead, killed by several creatures, mainly consisting of an evil race called the Ing. Upon meeting the only remaining member of Luminoth race, Samus learns Aether has been split into two dimensions by a meteor similar to the one that crashed on Tallon IV. Samus helps save Aether from the Ing, but encounters Metroid Prime in the process, who's genetic code has mutated and is wearing a Phazon version of her Varia Suit.

 

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (2007)

The third and final chapter of the Metroid Prime trilogy. Mark Pacini, the game director at Retro Studios, states that "Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is a direct sequel to Metroid Prime 2, and the goal of the game is to wrap up the storyline that involves the material Phazon." What is known so far is Metroid PRime and the Space Pirates have joined together in an attempt to corrupt the universe with Phazon. Samus tries to stop them, but she becomes corrupted by the Phazon.

 

Metroid II: Return of Samus (1991)

Following the events of the previous chapters, the Galactic Federation deems the Metroid species too dangerous to exist, and, after their own failed attempts, employ Samus to travel to the Metroid homeworld, SR388, and exterminate the entire species. After killing every Metroid, Samus finds an unhatched egg sac. As she prepares to destroy it, a Metroid larva pops out and believes Samus is its mother. It follows her back to her ship, and Samus hands it over to the Galactic Federation for research.

 

Super Metroid (1994)

Samus receives a distress signal from the research lab where she took the Metroid hatchling at the end of the previous game. She returns just in time to see Ridley stealing the hatchling. She then follows Ridley to the rebuilt base on Zebes to stop the Space Pirates in their new plan to clone the Metroids and use them as a weapon. She kills the reborn versions of Ridley, Kraid, and Mother Brain, blowing up Zebes and killing the last remaining Metroids.

 

Metroid Fusion (2002)

While acting as a bodyguard for researchers on the planet SR388, Samus is infected by a creature known as the X Parasite, the original prey of the Metroids. Doctors surgically remove Samus's Power Suit and cure the X infection with a vaccine created from Metroid DNA, allowing her to survive the parasite. She is then sent to investigate a disturbance at the Biologic Space Laboratories research station, where researchers attempted to contain the infected Power Suit. It turns out that the infected suit became an X mimicking Samus, the SA-X. This released other X parasites inside the other specimins, and began to infect the entire station. Samus attempts to stop them, but eventually decides, with the help of her computer Adam, to crash the station into SR388, killing both the X on the station, and on the planet.

Its was rumour.

 

 

So it is a rumour.

[Chris the great]

im sure it was more then a rumour, i seem to remember a single screen shot.

[Zechs Merquise]

Just watched the previews on the Wii channel. Awesome stuff. I just hope it lives up to it and it gets the media attention and press it deserves so it doesn't disappear into nothing.

[DiemetriX]

Metroid Dread was first announced in the June 2005 issue of Game Informer, and further details emerged on the magazine's Internet forums. According to the forum moderators, the game was a 2D side-scroller being developed for the Nintendo DS, and its plot follows the events of Metroid Fusion.

 

On 2005-09-19, IGN reported that Metroid Dread is indeed in development, but will probably not be formally announced for some time. Nintendo had neither confirmed nor denied its existence.

 

On 2005-10-07, the Nintendo-Next website reported that the project has been cancelled, but chose not to reveal their sources.

 

On 2006-02-17, the British Official Nintendo Magazine included Metroid Dread in their "Official Release Dates", listed under November 2006, albeit as 'TBC' (to be confirmed). However, on March 16, 2006, in the second issue of the magazine, the game was marked with a vague '2006' release date, although ONM highlighted the ambiguity surrounding the game, and suggested to wait until E3 2006 for some more concrete information.

 

On 2006-03-23, the website N-Sider reported that the IGN editor Craig Harris was asked about Metroid Dread, and his response was that it was too early to show at E³ in 2005, but that it could be shown later that year. This lends credence to the possibility that the game has not been cancelled, and that this could have been reported falsely by Nintendo-Next. The game failed to make an appearance at E³ in 2006 or 2007, although this is not necessarily an indication that the game is indeed cancelled.

 

 

[Chris the great]

id love to think that the game is still in development, but that much time on a ds side scroller seems unlikly, but then perhaps with hunters and what not the games development has been stunted. we can always dream.

[James McGeachie]

That Aurora stuff is a bit interesting but also worrying. It seems like they're trying to give Mother Brain's origin backstory probably so they can have something similar to fight in Prime 3. Problem is from what I recall Mother Brain's official story, as found in the official webcomic, was that she was the Chozo's own supercomputer, who was essentially corrupted and put to use by the space pirates.

Who says that these scientists didn't base their technology on Chozo technology? Aren't Galactic Federation suits and weapons based on Chozo technology?

From Ign:Last week, we wrote an editorial that took a critical look at Nintendo's lack of hype for Metroid Prime 3. We recently chatted with NOA's Perrin Kaplan about the piece and asked what the company had planned for Corruption in the next few weeks and beyond. Here's what she had to say:

 

Matt, I only wish we could have answered this question before you posted your long commentary on marketing for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. We read it with great interest. It says to us that you care, you love the franchise and you just want more. But it was also a bit conspicuous and disappointing that while you gave great prominence to your editorial, your site then ignored the free, exclusive Metroid Prime 3 Preview videos once they appeared in the WiiWare section of the Wii Shop Channel.

 

[Editor's note: In our defense, we did post the Metroid VC news and the new videos from the Metroid Preview Channel along with analyses for both.]

 

 

Nevertheless, here we are and there are a few things we want readers to know. First, we obviously care greatly about Metroid Prime 3. We made a conscious decision to give people a peek inside the world of Metroid Prime 3 a bit closer to launch, instead of bombarding them for many months. It's just a different way of doing things, and surprise is the key.

We could have told you about the surprise Metroid Prime 3 Preview videos ahead of time, but then they wouldn't have been much of a surprise, would they? All that Wii owners have to do is update their Wii systems to Version 3 and voila, you find a cool treat for all Metroid Prime fans. Finding it that way, frankly, might add a bit of intrigue for those who aren't as familiar with the franchise.

 

 

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is for gamers who have enjoyed the franchise in the past, as well as those who have yet to discover the fun of the Metroid Prime universe. It's a great way to experience the Wii Remote, whether you are a novice player or whether you are male or even female. I know that after just a few minutes with it, players will never look at a first-person game quite the same way again.

To answer one of your other comments, we still have a lot of our more traditional marketing efforts planned. People will see it all shortly, from ads to many of the usual tactics we use to support our key products. Plus: a few more surprises like the Metroid Prime 3 Preview. And no, I'm still not going to spoil the fun and tell you about it ahead of time!

 

-----------------------------------------------

I really think ign got burned here. Was it not the exact same day they released the previews.
