how big of a flop do you think this game really will be?
Do you still think there's hope for a new metroid game after the eventual fallure of this one?
>>
At best it'd be an alright game but no matter what it's going to bomb horribly.
Nintendo could release a new trailer, send out a demo before release, and even have Pokemon Go promote it and it'd still bomb.
NLG is an alright studio so I'm hoping they'll survive this.

Anon they only said they were thinking of the future of 2D and 3D Metroid installments.
They didn't confirm they were in development and Tanabe said that a new Prime game would have to be released on the NX since it's too late for the Wii U. He said this in 2015 and Retro Studios' new game still hasn't been revealed.

>>344921801
Because the only reason people hate FF is due to their autism.

There is nothing wrong with the game itself, people just don't like it because it's now what 'they' wanted.

I understand the anger for the game, but if you take away the Metroid title and just call it Federation Force you can focus on what the game brings. A coop/puzzle shooter that's fun with friends or experience it with random players.

I always laugh at people who try and criticize Federation Force for it's gameplay, because that makes it clear that they really don't know what they are talking about.

This is the 'Dark Moon' of Metroid Prime. It's the classic gameplay mixed in with a new mission like structure, and, from a gameplay perspective, it looks better for it.
>>
>>344923178
Don't get me wrong.
I would have loved to play as a Fed and marine with a team but the way The was executed and how the game looks like it is straight out of a NDS with little no reason for it to be related to Metroid at all pissed me and probably most other Metroid fans off.

It was a amazing idea that was squandered as well as revealed at the worst possible time.

>>
>>344923535
>With little to no relation to Metroid Prime

People really need to stop talking out of their ass. The Galactic Federation is an established concept in the Metroid Universe, and expanding on what THEY do will, by extension, expand the Metroid universe as a whole.

I have to stress this, because I really do believe it's true... the people complaining about FF are NOT Metroid fans. These are the same kind of people who dismissed Prime 3 because of it's linear moments, Prime 2 because of it's dark world mechanics, Hunters for it's multiplayer, and Prime for not being Super.

Then you have super autistic fucks like Sean Malstrom who pretend Super isn't that great either because it has a map. Fuck that noise.

The fuck are you smoking?
It you payed even the slightest bit of attention you would have noticed that your character moves noticeably slower than Samus would. That you damage yourself and get knocked around if you come in contact with walls and other players. That all of the atmosphere and gameplay elements that made metroid what it is are missing from the game entirely.

Prime was never just a point and shoot FPS.
But FF is looking to be just that, but in a underwater pinball machine.

Much less capable, yes. Alone, that is. Without thier suits,
Yet riding mechs twice the size of her wielding her power.
Dealing damage to themselves and the players around them when walking into walls and other people.

That is just shitty. The Fed forces have been known to be able to take on the space pirates in a relatively ok fasion. They couldn't do shit to the big bad guys but they could go toe to toe with the grunts

You telling me that in the suits specifically made to match samus' they would be in danger of killing themselves because they walked into a fucking wall? While being no better at fighting the fucking space pirates?
>>
>>344924598
How come the pilots don't carry backup weapons?

Why do they even need to leave the robots in the first place? If they can make mechs with Samus' abilities then why can't they make remote controlled morph ball drones?

I think the problem people (who aren't the NOT MUH fags) have is that while other franchises do this thing all the time, they at least have main games released at the same time as or close to their spinoffs. Metroid hasn't had a single main series game in six years, more if you want to exclude Other M.

This is 60% of gripe with the game.

They aren't expanding on what they do. They took the galactic federation we had in Prime, completely threw that away, and gave us something else.

>Prime 3 because of it's linear moments, Prime 2 because of it's dark world mechanics

Those are both things that the games would have been stronger without though.

No. I was talking about Multi man Galactic forces team doing shit Samus can't do as a team.

All the webms and videos of the game I have seen so far only show them being less than competent as the mech driver than as normal feds and doing stupid shit like push a ball around. Everything samus can do already but have to instead resort to dumb shit like push a ball around or ration equipment.

(it's not a windwaker situation, this artstyle can't benefit the main series of games in any way whatsoever) plus if the limitations were so bad they could have made it better on the n3ds, that's litterally the only reason that console exists, to work around the original models shitty hardware

>>344920738
>It looks great
I want you to tell me what looks fun about the slow ball escorting, slow enemy attacks in general which is an insult after Hunters itself made fights against things like Guardians and the six hunters an insanely quick accuracy-filled test, and it's especially disgusting after the pirates are all on your ass in Primes 1 and 2 but in Federation Force they barely do anything at all. What about the forced stealth segments that require you to dodge huge enemies to unlock something? The bosses that looks like an absolute slog thanks to them being invincible for ages before you can hit them like three times and then they go to being invincible again(Hunters had this problem as well), and you're all going to be fighting over getting the power ups it seems.

There's not even any exploration or anything, it's a straight line with a side area during the straight line that has a single power up.
>>
Samus' suit is alien supertechnology with organic components and really unorthodox abilities, even the chinese bootleg versions should be more interesting than 'Federation trooper but bigger'

Like imagine if the Federation actually found some of their own Chozo upgrades but then misinterpreted what the technology was actually supposed to be used for. So like what's supposed to be the spider-ball ends up being a different application of 'sticking to things'.

Or maybe they can't replicate the technology at all but their engineers are inspired to create new upgrades as a plan B. Stuff like "oh we don't know how the gravity suit works but we did come up with this system that uses supercavitation to help our guys move around underwater quickly"

This didn't have to be so boring.
>>
A problem with Federation Force's presentation is that there isn't much to speculate about plot wise.
The second trailer should've delivering something that could've surprised people to catch at least some sort of interest.

The mechs are so ridiculously boring and it's a lose-lose situation now.

Since the Golems are just Samus-lite you aren't really getting a fresh perspective on the setting.

But they also make the setting way less cool just by existing. Why should I care about Samus if Samus-lite is good enough to get the job done and can be mass produced?

>Game has no exploration at all, the most you can deviate for an item is in your straight line there'll be a side bit that you can open if you have the right beam and it will have an item that a single person on the four man team can grab.
>Stealth missions where you move even slower than the mechs.

Metroid Prime Hunters was a mess of a game and extremely short, but at least the gameplay had you dodging like crazy, needing to be accurate, had exploration(Despite it being basically four or five rooms at most), and had just stuff in general to find.

I don't care about the art style and the people who say it's not a Metroid game because Samus isn't in it are absolute retards, it wears the Metroid skin but plays nothing like one.

I just want hunters 2 for the multiplayer, but i'm not hopeful

>It doesn't need to be technically impressive to use realistic proportions

My point was you can't use the 3DS as an excuse for why you need the characters to be chibi when REvelations exists. And that was, what, a launch title? Whatever, it came out years ago. Aren't devs supposed to get better at exploiting a console's capabilities the further into its lifespan we get? i remember that being a thing in 6th gen.
>>
>>344929839
basically all of this. It's like DmC for Metroid. Sure, the initial reaction was like "oh man it looks nothing like the originals" but after actually seeing it played, the response changed to "worse still, it plays like ass!"

>>344926878
The bomb squad members died super easy, and there was a GF guy in the beginning portion that WILL die if you don't close the air hatch.

GF troopers only really had an advantage with phazon armaments, there are super expendable otherwise.

The gameplay should reflect that.

Like in left 4 dead, if you don't work as a team, you WILL die.

Hell, they can expand that with different classes like bomb ( the powerbomb guy that could open secret passages ) heavy explosives ( missle trooper ) regular soldier ( automatic weaponry meant to clear loads of easy enemies like bugs ), ect.

Hell, even have a "upgrade" system that can have you buy better weaponry as you gain exp.

They could have gone so many ways with this, but that chibi artsyle is the biggest travesty.

At least it's better than nothing

Did something happen to NLG recently?

Does it have the same control scheme as Metroid Prime on Gamecube?
>>
>>344924625
6 years after the worst game in the series all you get is a spin off chibi co-op shooter that is nothing like Metroid.
And all of this at the series 30th anniversary while Zelda get's all the attention

>Overall, the game looks pretty alright. I still think the Super Deformed look is misplaced in this kind of game, but once you're playing it sort of fades into your periphery. The game looked like it was running at 30FPS with 3D off.
>Movement in the game feels about right. The walking speed feels about the same as in prime. When charging your power beam, you move a bit slower. You can hover a bit after you jump by holding the A button. When locked on you can also strafe jump around your target if you need to dodge an incoming projectile.
>Reviving teammates is as easy as being near them and mashing A. You only get 40 points of health back though, so it's important to have someone with repair kits around. And speaking of...
>Enemies do not drop health energy from what I noticed. If you need a heal you need to carry repair kits or be near someone who has them.
>There's a new beam type here: Shock Beam. I didn't get to use it too much so I wasn't able to learn what its effects were. I wanna say it's gonna be similar to the Wave Beam since that also had electrical properties in Prime, but I can't say for sure. It does do more damage than an uncharged power beam shot.
>If you just lock on and move the analog stick left or right, you'll walk around your target. If you jump while locked on and moving, you'll do a fast dodge-jump in the direction you're holding.
>I was playing this on the New 3DS XL. The controls were configured similarly to Prime's default mapping with a few exceptions.
>You can lock on to targets as you would in Metroid Prime. For further precision, you can press and hold either L or ZL (I forget which) to use motion controls for aiming.
>Rather than using the c-stick or d-pad to switch beam types, you press a button top cycle through them. The beams also use ammo like missiles.

I'll buy it.

Then mail it, and my receipt, to Nintendo, demanding a real Metroid Prime game.

It's because they're being cheap.

>>344923535
If they made a Manthony "Remembuh" Higgs game where you walk around smack talking monsters and then your plasma cannon finally charges at the end of the game and you miss your shot... well... that would be okay.
>>
>>344923952
No, you idiot. Stop.
What people like you and Nintendo need to learn is that a series isn't just a setting. You can't just make an unrelated game, tack on the setting of Metroid and call it a Metroid game. Metroid is about a certain atmosphere, a certain gameplay core of exploration and item collecting.
When Mario does it they call it Mario Tennis, and make no efforts to have us believe it's a mainstream Mario game. When Zelda does it they call it Tingle's Rosy Rupee Land, they don't try and have us believe it's a proper Zelda game.

But this game is so clearly not Metroid, yet they're calling it a Metroid game. But on top of that this is the only Metroid game for years. It's an insult. If this had come out two years after Prime 3 nobody would care, it would just be a shitty spinoff. But the fact that they're acting like this is the great new game in the series is insulting. Nintendo is so out of touch with their various fanbases that it isn't even funny anymore.

Also, I fucking hate the proportions of the troopers. This is the worst form of super deformation. Their entire bodies could fit inside their skulls.

This will probably sell decent because of people who are curious of what "the big deal" is.
Others will buy it just because nothing else coming out in august interests them.

It's Wind Waker all over again.
People are throwing tantrums because of how it looks, despite it actually looking good. People just hate change.
This game will turn out to be the best in the series, and eventually people will get over their childish tantrums and start loving it for the great game that it is.

Just watch. You'll see how right I am in a few months.

If Earthbound was turned into an M rated gorefest with little humor would fans appreciate the changes?
If F-Zero was incredibly toned down in speed and all the futuristic environments were replaced by generic and grey cities would fans appreciate the changes?

>>344929839
I disagree, anon.
I think you should care about the visual style because it looks like vomit. There are plenty of great looking games on 3DS, there's no excuse for a game to look like this.

>>344940415

This isn't Metroid's Windwaker though, this is Metroid's Spirit Tracks.
>>
>>344920382
My only solace is that it will result in some Chozo armor for Miitomo

>>344940954

This is Metroid's Sticker Star.

Not the one you are replying to but every game that takes place in the same timeline as windwaker bar windwaker was trash due to terrible fucking controls and Cel-shading not looking the least bit good on a nds.

>>344945782
They are, but I've seen so many people hate them because they don't play like normal Kirby games.
Hell I have a Co-worker that hates most of the Mario spin offs because "Mario is supposed to run through worlds, jump on stuff, beat Bowser, save the princess and that's it, everything else Nintendo does with him is bullshit that makes no sense".
