If so, I'm a little disappointed. I didn't mind when they did this for Hunters, because the game was really focused on multiplayer and there were lots of other games available anyway, but I feel the lack of Metroid hurts the launch somewhat.

That being said, I've also heard on IGN that the game is playing extremely well now - on par with or better than mouse and keyboard - so if the extra time is allowing Retro to make the game totally super awesome AND add in online, I could definitely live with that.

You borrow style elements from 20yr old scifi flicks and 10 yr old PC scifi flight shooters, and you add bump mapping and TAKE AWAY character, and you got Halo.

Thread over.

Lets not turn this into a giant Halo bashing thread. It does rip off old sci-fi movies particulaly Aliens (BR, dropships, the flood, and the marines are all basically identical) and Samus did the whole powersuit with an energy shield long before but the automatic atmosphere caused by using preexisting ideas is probably one reason I liked it.

Regardless of what kind of vibe you get from the trailer you have to admit it is different. There is voice acting and humans that are not dead, as well as more cutscenes then Metroid usually has. Different looks great though.

If they bring Metroid online I think the lock on concept will be thrown out of the window for both multiplayer and single player. If the controls are as good as we have heard recently there is no reason to still have lock on either.

Feel free to laugh at me now, but games like Metroid and Tennis make me want a NEW POWER GLOVE.

This are the kind of things sigs are made for, Im so stoling it now. the ian quote will always be in my mind though!

I agree that Corruption is taking a different path, and its hard to not be skeptic, even when Metroid has gone away from its roots with Prime and Fusion and the result wasn't bad at all.

wandering: Expert mode should be fine when you are holding the controller, but definitely could be disorienting to watch someone else play. (Note: I have not seen the vid yet, but I did read the article on it.)

As a note, I have gotten to chance to play with Cornell's CAVE ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAVE ) a bit where they had a modified version of Quake with no gravity or guns (they were planning on using the engine for something else) which was controllable by the orientation of the controler + the direction pushed on an analog stick. Although the 3D display did make it feel more immersive than the Wii could be, it was very easy to control: just hold forward and point my hand where I wanted to go. That's what the MP3 expert controls look like. They will feel very natural.

Honestly, the new video is the best graphics I've ever seen in my life. That accounts for framerate, particle effects, character animation, style, and cutscenes. The Full Walkthru is PS3-worthy at certain parts, and on average, beats most offerings on 360!

I am very impressed with the way Corruption is turning out. The new control scheme will have the game feeling completely new, and at the same time have FPS lovers all over it. With Prime we got pure Metroid in 3D, it made us happy. With Fusion the franchise was advanced forward a bit, giving us the same gameplay we have loved for years, pluss adding alot of story to drive the game forward. Then with Echoes, we were steadily given a tiny bit more story and cut scenes, along with our first bit of voice acted dialogue. Now with Corruption, Samas has allies that aren't dead(yet) are willing to fight with her, there is voice acting, and the cut scenes are alot more flashy so far than anything we've seen in the last 2 3D console titles.

I imagine Nintendo or Retro has wanted to flesh out and develop the Metroid universe since the franchise came back in full force last generation. And instead of throwing it at us all at once we were gradually getting it piece by piece. Well Fusion really threw alot at us story wise, but still. Oh and Hunters also had an amazing opening. What ever, im saying it was all bound ot happen, Metroid wasn't going to stay silent for ever. And im sure most of the game will have Samus all alone somewhere in some deep dark cavern.

I'm intrigued at the mention of a motion-sensitivity option that allows you to fully customize how fast you want to look and turn.

Also, it's great that they felt very comfortable playing it, mentioning how much it resembled PC shooters. That is, after all, exactly what everyone was hoping for; PC gaming on a home console.

But they mention something that takes the Wii further than playing a PC game. The ability to yank objects with your grappling beam and puzzles that require you to twist, lift, and flip pieces are just a few examples.

Artimus · « **Reply #266 on:** January 04, 2007, 12:41:33 PM »

This game is going to be better than the first Prime, I can feel it. Which immediately makes it one of the best of all time.

ThePerm · « **Reply #267 on:** January 04, 2007, 02:57:51 PM »

ok i can see why Zelda not have voice acting, but not metroid! Just as long as samus doesnt talk..then again she has already talked before.

Certainly. Though I'd argue Zelda could use it (except for Link), especially consider their frigging mouths move.

TrueNerd · « **Reply #269 on:** January 04, 2007, 07:12:28 PM »

... And I just really excited for Metroid again. It may be time for my annual Super Metroid playthrough.

I need this game before the summer, Nintendo. BEFORE THE SUMMER.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #270 on:** January 04, 2007, 07:13:48 PM »

Cannot wait for this game. When is it supposed to come out.

I am frothing at the thought of this and Super Mario Galaxy.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #271 on:** January 05, 2007, 03:21:37 AM »

I'm not the biggest Metroid fan, but I'm glad to hear this is coming along so nicely.

Personally, I find the Metroid Prime series' method of telling the plot through scanning objects and critters is pretty interesting. It makes the story very "organic", you decide how much plot there is and you don't have to passively sit through tons of movies (though I wouldn't mind having a little more of those).

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #272 on:** January 05, 2007, 03:26:47 AM »

I'm still betting on this game being out by early June...If it isn't I'll cry... ;_;

Mario · « **Reply #273 on:** January 05, 2007, 03:29:19 AM »

I'm not expecting it earlier than November.

Artimus · « **Reply #274 on:** January 05, 2007, 04:55:11 AM »

I think if this doesn't come out before the fall then it's almost certain we won't see both Galaxy and Brawl this year.
