Its not even that good desu

Metroid 2 wasnt very good in general, it was linear as shit. AM2R doesnt break away from that at all. The only real significant change the game makes is making metroids a chore to kill
>>344236321
Best be joking, nigga
>>344235952
FUCKING HYPE!!
I've been waiting so long for this, when this releases I'll be replaying every Metroid in the franchise.
>>344237005
>>344237005
I agree that Metroid 2 didn't follow exploration of the series, which in my opinion is what metroid is about, however I found metroid 2 to be fun and no matter how linear it was the world still felt alien and it still felt like you were exploring somewhere new.
AM2R has lots of passion and good ideas driven into it that should be common place in metroid titles. And albeit linear, the fresh coat of paint, new bosses, metroid AI, and redone music make me feel like AM2R is not only cannon but also a solid entry in the franchise
>>344237961
I just don't like how they decided to incorporate the Other M suit design into it.
>>344238258
of all the things to nit-pick, it's the suit design?
why? there's yet to be a bad looking suit, even in other M
>>344238258
from AM2R or from Metroid 2?
>>344238420
>Other M suit
>not bad looking
Nigga u wot
>>344238439
AM2R uses something of a cross between Other M's suit design and Zero Mission's design. Zero Mission's design is the Metroid II/Super with Prime 2/3 details, so AM2R effectively mashes up all the suit designs except for Metroid 1 and Prime 1's.
>>344237961
>cannon
>>344238764
i'll agree that most suits come down to taste, but none of them are outright ugly; the only suits that look drastically different are the special ones made for a niche purpose, and even those look nice.
>>344237404
Chores not difficult, theyre tedious just like AM2R is. Deal with it nigga
>>344237961
It feels really unmemorable. There isnt really anything unique about AM2R. The graphics largely come from Zero Mission, the new bosses arent even memorable. Metroid AI wasnt anything special and the redone music isnt a plus when its not anything to write home about either. Metroid 2 didnt need a remake, there was nothing worth remaking.
>>344235952
Oh shit. Thank you for informing me of this. I stopped visiting the blog a while ago, and it's good to see it's finally going to release. This game is fucking great, especially for such a small project.
>>344239169
>and the redone music isnt a plus when its not anything to write home about either
>Not cumming every time you go back to the Hydro Station area for that sweet remaking of Super Metroid's Brinstar Overgrowth Area
Honestly nigga, you have bad taste.
>>344236162
>fans are making better metroid games than nintendo
SQQUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGet those torrents ready. Pretty sure nintendo will have it taken down within a month.
>>344235952
it's so fun and good
honestly one of my favorite metroids and i only played the 3/4ths done version
>>344240087
They don't really have a reason to when this isn't being monetized. I mean, yeah, they can still technically throw a CnD at them, but I really doubt they will bother.
>>344240190
I haven't played the demos since the 1/4 done version.
I decided to experience it all at once. I can't fucking wait.
>>344236321
I really hope this is bait. It was every bit as good as Zero Mission last time I played a demo for it.
>>344237005
Metroid 2, and AM2R as an extension, take a different approach to exploration. Instead of having a single massive interconnected map it distinct areas connected by a hub shaft that are each fairly big and open. It allows for the game to make Metroid encounters more interesting since they can scale the difficulty properly and break up the hunt into smaller chunks so it's less overwhelming.
It reminds me a lot of how Echoes handled exploration in some ways, and that's not a bad thing. I've never really liked the idea of every Metroid game needing to be a carbon copy of Super Metroid, that games already day near perfect and stagnancy is the last thing the Metroid series needs. Zero Mission was less interesting than its peers because it felt like a diet Super Metroid when compared to the experimentation being done with the Prime series and Fusion.
>>344237961
according to /v/. metroid zero mission, fusion and the prime games and other m all didn't follow the exploration of the series. So 75% of the series doesn't follow this integral part?
>>344240538
Nintendo doesn't do that unless they're monetizing it.
>>344244189
Don't forget that Metroid 1 and 2 are outdated and not worth playing.
The series might as well just be Super Metroid and nothing else based on what the more extreme fans in these threads seem to believe.
>>344244792
Yea, from what i hear from threads of this series, the only game they like is super metroid and all others are terrible. Oddly enough, super metroid is the one i like the least (not counting other m of course) due to the floaty nature and slowness of it. But I have a weird bias against SNES games probably due to having a genesis growing up.
What's a metroid? Sounds new. I'll be sure to buy that new 3ds ip on 3ds! Finally a mature game for mature gamers such as myself.
Watched a trailer, it's just 80% reused GBA Metroid assets. Joy. Originality has died.
>>344247859
You've watched an old trailer then.
That said, the intent was to remake Metroid II similarly to how Metroid was remade with Zero Mission. So yes, it would invoke a GBA feel, and early builds did outright use GBA assets, but newer builds do not.
>>344248119
lol, the newer version looks even worse. what the fuck is this resolution, and these color palettes are retarded. Also recolored assest =/= new.
>>344247859
The trailers are for ancient builds of the game, though it is intentionally designed to be a Zero Mission-esque update to Metroid 2.
Here's a bit from the most recent demo, which has a majority of the first half of the game.

>>344248673
Yeah don't bother, obvious troll.
>>344248742
Just because I have standards and don't eat up 2005-esque Game Maker looking garbage just because Nintendo has forsaken a legendary series doesn't make me a troll.
Careful not to trigger any Primefags everyone. He might post 50 unfunny tubes comics in reddit-taliation
>>344248858
>Why doesn't this freeware fan remake look exactly like the Gameboy games its built off of and not Ori and the Blind Forest or Dragon's Crown
>>344249818
>its built off of
It's not a romhack, anon.
But it IS made to look like a GBA game.
>>344235952
Wut?
>>344250253
Another Metroid 2 Remake
what it ways on the tin
>>344250727
*saysfucc
>>344250727
The title makes it seem like there had been many attempts to remake the game in the past, but I only really know of two projects.
AM2R, which is just about finished, and Planet SR388, which dropped off the planet.
>>344248673
Fuck, this actually looks amazing...
I like the mechanics and fluff behind AM2R but I have to admit I wish the colors were closer to Super's grimdark scheme rather than ZM/Fusion's bright palette
>>344252071
>actually wanting grimdark
>>344236162
>>344239931
It's Next Level games, cut them some slack
For the last goddamn time you were already told your getting a Metroid game on NX as a follow up to the lore in Fedforce
>>344249159
>Primefags
I like both 2D and Prime though
>>344243980
I find this funny because Sakamoto said the same thing even though Other M failed. Sakamoto said that him and his team could easily make another Super Metroid but then there would be no progress for the series. He would just be making the same game over and over. This the main reason we haven't seen a mainline game since Other M because Nintendo and Sakamoto was trying to come up with ideas for a traditional mainline Metroid game.
>>344253637
Then you're not a Primefag
>>344253884
I like it
Fusion was the best shit ever because it wasnt just Super again
>>344253898
>>344253884
>They were stalling
>>>>>>Meanwhile Aunouma and Next Level games spent 7 years on FedForce
>>>They eventually came up with follow up games giving character development for sylux
>Only to be shitposted to death because Sakamoto was too busy with Game and Wario and Rhythm Heaven
>>344235952
How many days until Nintendo sends a C&D?
>>344254837
If it didn't happen by now, it's not going to happen at all. The guy isn't taking money for this, so they have no reason to send a C&D.
>>344255204
Neither did the Super Mario 64 in Galaxy style remake and look how that worked out
It wasn't even a full project, he literally did bob-omb battlefield and that's it
>>344250941
at the time of its inception there were a handfull of projects, I used to have a bunch of bookmarks for them.
ironically all of them died well before completion, so the name just seems kind of funny now
>>344254808
They didn't spend 7 years on it. It was shelved and picked back up later.
Also you forgot about Tomodachi Life and Miitomo.
>>344256773
The difference is that Nintendo never plans to remake Metroid 2. On the other hand, a free remake of Super Mario 64, whether it's Galaxy style of completely remade in an art style reminiscent of Cubism, has the possibility of realistically cutting into Nintendo's profits.
Metroid is basically dead to Nintendo now, basically just an IP for them to use to teach new game developers. It's already been ruined, they can't make it any worse.
poor Sammy
