None of the multiplayer maps in this game were bad or unbalanced. Prove me wrong, /v/.
Can this game still be played online? Via private servers maybe? Or emulation?
>>333830435
You actually played the multiplayer?
was fun until hackers took over
>>333830435
I can't
>FedForce went with coop shit and space football instead of arena shooter
Fug
the game was inherently unbalanced: fast alt forms were too good at escaping (samus, trace, and sylux, especially fucking samus) and the shitty hit detection made it worse. high level play revolved around the sniper weapon because it was next to impossible to kill anything otherwise except on the smaller maps.
reiterate that the hit detection over wifi was god awful and was impossible to tell if you were actually hitting the person or missing, usually requiring ass tons of lead and prediction that varied wildly
>>333832494
I'll admit, the alt forms were overpowered, and the hit boxes are a bit disproportionate, but it still has good multiplayer besides that.
>>333832494
Only played this game casuallywith the botsbut even if it was unbalanced it was fun as fuck. Plus all the character designs are top notch and it kills me that they will die being only in this game
>sniper alien was invisible
THEY MAKE THE SNIPER BE INVISIBLE
WHAT THE FUCK
>>333833178
was kinda shit, since sitting still made it a target for other snipers, trace was better on maps that didn't have a dedicated sniper pickup so he'd be the only one with it
>>333833178
Trace was the bane of all multiplayer matches. If anyone played as him and got the sniper, it was over.
All they had to do was remake this game for the 3DS
Would have been cheaper and sold more then federation force and fans would have not gotten mad
Nintendo is fucking clueless
>>333833083
the tier list was something like
high: samus, trace, noxus
mid: sylux
low: kanden, spire, weavel
noxus was good because of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB2wOzhzhjM
so does Feddie Force have online multiplayer?
>>333833396
NST is dead, m8.
>>333833396
I looked it up and Hunters sold less than both the GBA Metroid games and the DS had sold double the GBA.
I can see why they're trying Federation Force. A Hunters remake would have sold just as bad as Codename: S.T.E.A.M.
>>333833518
Yeah, Blastball :^)
>>333830435
except oubliette
also literally every map had bugs that allowed you to get out of the map boundaries
>>333833630
nah, NST is dead as shit
Federation Force was a ideological thing right before Hunters came to be (2005)
>>333833840
Who is NST
>>333830435
CIRCLE CIRCLE DOT DOT I JUST GOT MY CUTIE SHOT
YOU THINK THAT GIRL IS HOT?
I THINK I RATHER NOT>
Uh Hunh?
Ok
Yea?
OK I
I'd fuck her anyway
>>333833518
>NST, despite developing Hunters - the only other first-person portable Metroid game - has had absolutely no involvement in the Next Level Games project, again highlighting the fallout and drop down the reckoning following Project H.A.M.M.E.R.; in fact the studio only found out about it during E3 along with the public, upsetting some Hunters development veterans.
Nah they're not dead yet, they're just probably starving in a basement somewhere.
>>333833880
guys who did Wave Race, Snowboard 1080, and Prime Hunters
they were also responsible fore Project HAMMER but the former director/producer was a giant fucking hack and literally destroyed most of the development and parts of NST, even Kensuke Tanabe couldn't save the game.
now a days, NST is a shell of it's former and just developing shitty MvDK games and soon working on mobiletendo/DeNA trash.they were also going to be part of Project Dread's development
OP here, what do you guys think was the best multiplayer map? Fuel Stack and Outer Reach were some solid-tier maps
>you will never literally gather all the kids in your neighborhood at one of your houses with your nintendo ds's and have a giant match of download play Metroid Prime Hunters mulitplayer ever again
>>333834075
bring them back, please. send them to Retro Studios or give NLG a hand at FF.
NLG can't into First Person like how Tanabe isn't good at actual FPS games.
>>333833883
i wanna fuck that robot
>>333834192
sic transit a best
>1v1 alinos perch trace ditto imp only
I used to play that so much
>>333832048
> Via private servers maybe?
Yes.
i remember being ecstatic when i first got 5 star rank as a kid
>>333835521
>tfw never got past 3
>>333833452
Sylux was top tier along with Samus and Trace. I don't think Noxus was ever considered top even with the Judicator glitch, because his alt form was so poor and you needed the Judicator/Imperialist combo to make the glitch properly viable.
>>333835897
>even with the Judicator glitch,
What glitch is that?
>>333835521
I once boosted my way to five star, felt like a complete fraud and reset my rank. Legitimately got up to 4 star afterwards and stayed there.
>>333835980
Was called Shadow Freeze. Noxus could charge the Judicator, aim at the floor and the freeze effect would travel basically infinitely in a straight line in front of him, so you could freeze people from miles away. What you'd then do (ideally) is switch to the Imperialist for an easy OHKO headshot. You could also perform this while in the air, which IIRC broadened the range of the freeze effect.
>tfw my DSi is so broken I can't even play this game because it freezes every half an hour
what do
I wouldn't wanna play another DS but I never even managed to finish this game
should I, /v/?
>>333836561
Didi freezing caused damage
>>333830435
No, you could cheat in some of the multiplayer maps like an asshole by getting past boundaries/walls.
>>333832136
This game was made for multiplayer. The singleplayer mode was dull, boring and a forgettable experience. Since online is dead, except through hacking, this game is also dead.
>>333830435
Too many hackers and horrible controls but otherwise a really good game, probably one of the best games on the DS.
>>333836705
The single player in Prime Hunters is shit. Don't bother.
>>333833178
That could be used against the sniper. They weren't totally invisible. If you had good eyes then you could sniff them out.
>>333836719
Minimal damage
>>333833630
Hunters was a garbage Metroid game. The single player was extremely lacking. The multiplayer was great fun but it doesn't feel like a Metroid game to me.
Federation Force feels like a repeat of Hunters to some degree so I could care less about that game.
>>333836705
You are missing nothing. Hunters is garbage in single player and the ending is crap too.
Play another game.
>>333830435
Boring multiplayer.
It makes such an obnoxious and terrible flaw: too many fucking healing items on the map.
>>333837538
Which part do you think is B8?
>>333837374
the only thing Metroid really needs is fucking multiplayer
you're entirely right on the single player (and that was even the hard part of the Hunters' development)
>>333837746
All of it. The singleplayer was good, if you knew what you were doing, and the multiplayer was fast and competitive, especially with 3 others in Deathmatch.
>>333837746
"Could care less".
That's the b8.
>>333837919
Did you actually read what I said? I didn't dis the multiplayer. The multiplayer was great but that alone doesn't make it a Metroid game to me.
The singleplayer was boring. If you disagree then let's just agree to disagree.
>>333837987
I'm saying I have zero interest in Federation Force.

good times.

I barely remember them so I can't say
What I remember is that Tracer was a cheap piece of shit and that the rock guy sucked ass
>>333838385
Yeah, the phrase for that is "couldn't care less," because there's no way for you to care less
>>333832136
You didn't? You do know this game was MP focused, like Q3, right? The SP was just tacked on.
Man, you missed out.

I would love to see a fully realized remake of this where the multiplayer is much more balanced and fleshed out and the single-player isn't an after-thought. When emulated, the game looks phenomenal and the areas in general were very atmospheric.
>>333839780
Me and my friends did it every recess. Shy Guy was supposed to be slightly worst than everyone, but I got so gud with him I could play him and still destroy everyone, even though I had the game.
>>333830435
Hunters was ahead of its time, it could have been a much better game if it was released today. But we got FF instead, fuck everything.
>>333834075

was gonna say
>Tamaki
until i saw that Unseen64 dug this up
>Dread "literally looked like a port of Fusion on DS"
I have two copies of this game so I can bust it out with my friend.
>>333842078
Maybe "instead" wasn't the correct choice of words, but FF obviously took over the idea of a multiplayer centric Metroid game.
