Dante Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Surely it can be turned off then.I want my fps controls to be fair and i dont want to feel like im cheating. Anyone else feel bothered about the metroid interview on ign where he said metroid would be on line but someone corrected his mistake saying it hasnt been confirmed hmm http://wii.ign.com/articles/732/732728p1.html NOE are clueless folks.
Charlie Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 IGN: How will social networking be handled? Will there be anonymous friend codes like on the DS network, or will users be able to choose recognisable IDs like on Xbox Live? David Yarnton: More details on that will come out closer to launch. But you will be able to play online, so for example with Metroid you will be able to play against friends online… [editor's note: at this point the Nintendo PR rep steps in to assert that Metroid has not been confirmed for online play]. Wasn't Metroid Hunters delayed to add online play in? Maybe Nintendo listened to the uproar after it was announced that it wasn't going to have a multiplayer...
mcj metroid Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Oh...oh damn...Looks like it's going to have to be zelda then...I don't like to settle for second best...:S... Red Steel might be a candidate too though. i feel your pain. they are far fewer first party launch games than i thought,I guess nintendo want to give third party a good chance.Red stell would have no chance against metroid
James McGeachie Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Wasn't Metroid Hunters delayed to add online play in? Maybe Nintendo listened to the uproar after it was announced that it wasn't going to have a multiplayer... Hunters was designed as a multiplayer game all along though, they just didn't have online planned for a while. Prime 3 on the other hand is supposed to be entirely singleplayer, no multiplayer at all. If they want to add online play, they're going to actually need to build a new multiplayer mode from scratch.

Prime 3 on the other hand is supposed to be entirely singleplayer, no multiplayer at all. If they want to add online play, they're going to actually need to build a new multiplayer mode from scratch.Metroid Prime 3 uses a heavy modified version of Metroid Prime 2 engine, who had multiplayer, so they ought to have working code for split-screen multiplayer from the start. They'd still need to get a Network multiplayer working though. They just weren't supposed to have time to implement new maps and such, given the delay... who knows. I think it'll have some sort of online, they really just need to polish gameplay a lot; maps and such can be downloadable extras, a bit like the Halo games through Xbox live.
thomaschung Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 i'm little concerned i will not like the new controls after seeing a latest video of someone playing on it. turning with the remote seems to be the biggest problem and I heard the people playing it weren't totally convinced with it as they felt like they were fighting with it somewhat. hope they fix it with the delay. just wish that some games could include standard controls in them as well.
assofaman Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 No need for concern about the Metroid controls. The people in the videos where they were criticising the control weren't playing with "expert" controls, thats why they had trouble.
gorrit Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Surely it can be turned off then.I want my fps controls to be fair and i dont want to feel like im cheating. I don't think so, since it's probably a big thing in the game (the only way to "fling" enemies and doors etc), but I think you might get rewarded for not using it, like enemies die easier if shot in the head, but lock on is only on torso or the middle of the enemy.
Shino Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 I think the inclusion of voices and living beings that are not enemies a bit shitty.
Charlie Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Do we have a release date for this other than 2007?
darksnowman Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Do we have a release date for this other than 2007? March - to kill the PS3 like a filthy stinking space pirate!
DCK Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 I really hope Nintendo is sticking to this plan of a constant stream of games (I doubt it), because that means we would get a nice spread of Metroid Prime 3, Super Paper Mario, Mario Galaxy, Battalion Wars and Smash Brawl over next year. Fingers crossed.
Dante Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Off-Screen Trailer video Edit: Stupid IGN it is the E3 tralier.
pedrocasilva Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Off-Screen Trailer video Edit: Stupid IGN it is the E3 tralier. indeed, saw that months ago... and the colors were better then.
Jamba Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 I think the inclusion of voices and living beings that are not enemies a bit shitty. I know what you mean, but I'll reserve my judgement. I don't think that we are going to feel very isolated and alone in this one do you?
Dante Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 I have found out who did this bad walkthrough video over at IGN. Luke Smith from 1up news aka only sony game player.
Daroh Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 Just watched a Clip on IGN, the federation ship walkthrough, and all I could think about was "Halo" (along with "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING YOU IDIOT? DID YOU NOT READ THE ON SCREEN TEXT?") Anyone else think this? Could just be because Halo is within a similar setting... yet...
AshMat Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 I want this game so much, also, BLUE BADGER FTW.
Stocka Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 BLUE BADGER FTW. I second that. We need more Phoenixness around here
Blue_Ninja0 Posted September 16, 2006 Posted September 16, 2006 I know what you mean, but I'll reserve my judgement. I don't think that we are going to feel very isolated and alone in this one do you? It's true that there's no isolation on the beggining of the game, but that doesn't mean you won't dwelve deep into a planet's underground tunnels all alone. All that life in the beggining is good because it show something is going on between the GF and the space pirates and that Samus is not the center of the universe and that's just like 2% of the game or something. The rest of the game will probably be the way we like it and the way it's supposed to be.

Anyone else think this? Could just be because Halo is within a similar setting... yet... So true. Just wait untill the Xbots find out about this... Get your shields.

DID YOU NOT READ THE ON SCREEN TEXT?") Anyone else think this? Could just be because Halo is within a similar setting... yet... didnt get the halo vibe but i did get the -omg you idiot!!!! have you even played any metroid prime game before?!?!?!?!-thing. same happened at e3 wth zelda . . . I know what you mean, but I'll reserve my judgement. I don't think that we are going to feel very isolated and alone in this one do you? im not a fan of the isolated feel-but it'll be like prime where it has a big opening and then calms down if you know what i mean. that hollywood style opening is just there to hook you and make you feel instantly a part of the action.
Hellfire Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Samus was running around in Space ships, Master Chief was still in his mommy's belly.
Konfucius Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 It's true that there's no isolation on the beggining of the game, but that doesn't mean you won't dwelve deep into a planet's underground tunnels all alone.

The rest of the game will probably be the way we like it and the way it's supposed to be. I actually think that there won't be so much of the isolated feeling this time. After all Samus visits more planets and there are other Hunters around. Sure there'll be the isolated areas too but I think the feeling won't be that strong as it used to - more like it was during Hunters.
BlueStar Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Not gonna bother with this one, controls look pretty shoddy in the vids I've seen. Damn floaty crosshair.
gaggle64 Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 I'm liking the more recnt vids floating arund. The enviorments and effects are rather delectable now, better then the higher echelon of Xbox titles. None too shabby.
