Will we ever see another Metroid after this disaster?
>>337291990
Are you posting in unicode son? Theres nothing in your post.
You know, I could've forgiven this game if it was just bad. I could've forgiven it even if the story was hogwash and turned Samus into a whiny crybaby. I don't play games for story, right?
No, the reason I still haven't forgiven them for it is because, during development, someone came up and said "let's make every cutscene unskippable, then dedicate an entire gamemode to letting the game play itself in a string of non-interactive cutscenes". And then the higher ups, including Sakamoto, approved of that idea.
Just gotta wonder who was on drugs that day when they decided that NINTENDO would allow a game to play itself in a cinematic experience.

So you two fags want a FPS wanna be from Tanabe after he fucked up Prime with Hunters, Corruption and now Federation Force? Prime 4 won't even be good because it will be an extension of the shit he gave us in these three games.
Also too fucking bad if you don't want Sakamoto because I got some bad for you he's still in charge and he plans to come back to games like Metroid when he is finish doing with all other devs do, build a new audience with new types of games.

I'm personally waiting on the Metroid 2 remake. As much as I enjoyed Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, it kind of had a little too much story for me. I wouldn't dare call it a cinematic experience like Other M, but it taught me that Samus doesn't need to talk, and it was excessive when they had her do it. We need to really buckle down and get back to subtle story-through-gameplay design.
>>337296630
It was bad, going from planet to freaking planet is NOT Metroid. In Prime 1 & 2 you explored different environments on ONE planet. Prime 3 is the most linear Prime next to Hunters. Let's not forget Hyper Mode with heavy pushed towards combat instead of classic Metroid exploration, fuck Prime 3.
Samus has nice legs.
>>337297067
what about them cheekbones
>>337291738
Dark souls 3 is the best metroid game I've played in years.
At this point I think Nintendo needs to get someone from outside Nintendo to make the game. They clearly don't know what to do with it.

i think Federation Force would be your GotY, 4 fed troopers are actually doing their job for Samus this time. and Other M is heavily influenced in the Metroid Prime game.

Miyamoto on had a hand in Metroid Prime 1 & 2 and wasn't involved with the rest of the series so he no longer has a say in Metroid Prime like back in 2002 - 2004.

Prime Hunters, Corruption and Federation Force are a clear departure from Metroid's isolation and exploration on ONE alien planet so they in turn like Other M are NOT Metroid.
Prime 1 & 2 had it perfect. Samus goes to an alien world going to different environments alone without all these other characters getting involved along with travelling to different planets. They also heavily dealt with exploration and isolation. Prime Hunters, 3 , and FF decided that story and combat was more important and put those in the forefront.

>not liking tubes
>a /v/-made Metroid culture is not vidya
>>337303881
But anon, Other M is feces. I played it, I 100%'d it.
It had moments where Other M looked like it could be an okay game, but then the game dumped a huge steaming pile all over those moments. The gameplay is mindlessly boring, the missile issue is garbage, the writing is some of the worst in video games, there's 0 exploration, the power-up system is the worst EVER in a Metroid title, the voice acting is abysmal, the music is meh-tier, and the Stoic Perfect Samurai Malkovich stole the promising kick-ass final area full of maybe-freeze-proof Metroids from the player.
Hell, the game couldn't even keep Samus' height consistent in cut scenes - the game says she's 5'1", but cut-scenes has her taller than characters that the game says are several inches taller than she is. The suit does NOT add that much height.
Don't make me drag out that 20+ page diatribe as to why Other M sucks, m8-E

Not remotely true for Prime 3. The intro had some setup cutscenes and then everyone buggered off to let Samus do her thing. Thereafter the only cutscenes were boss introductions and a small bit on the Pirate Homeworld.

Why is isolation so important? Super and Fusion created a horror element in homage to the film series that inspired it. This is an arguably enjoyable concept in such a series, but to say that it HAS to occur to be enjoyable is completely retarded.
Why does Samus always have to be "100% isolated" for every single game?. Why does the gunship have to break down every single game?
Retro asked these questions and gave us a game where her ship didn't break down and the mission (an actual mission, not replying to a distress signal) spanded an entire solar system rather than simply one planet.
Is it the idea that "she could get help" at any moment? She couldn't the federation has their hands completely tied. is it because "She could now run!", why would she abandon her comrades? With the leviathans there was no running.
None of your arguements make corruption the worst in the series. The only flaws it had, were again the AI bickering and being slightly more linear than prior games.
But it didn't lack the atrocious key hunt in echoes nor did it feel nearly as incomplete as echoes did.

>>337308657
Isolation is important because it gives you that feeling that you're alone. You are the only one on this planet fighting these aliens, and you are the only one who can stop it. Having other characters tag along with Samus hurts this balance.

We still don't know anything about "peak" Chozo so that is a great story to tell. What if the next planet Samus visit is a ancient Chozo planet that has the Chozo's most advanced weapons beyond the ones Samus received in Metroids 1 - 4 mixed in with Samus finding out about a godlike species who were beyond the Chozo and all other species in the universe.
>>337309329
Except Samus for the most part is alone in her mission. After the assault of Norion. All the other Mercs hired with her are corrupt and she is sent in to investigate.
The brain spouts locations but isn't qualified to just send her soldier aid except for the assault on the pirate home world, which is what her mission prerogative was on that planet anyway.

not that if it will get stale like SFZ, but to the point it can't be done over and over again in it's current state.
Nintendo probably wanna add multiplayer or let a rogue fed have a chance to shine in the next 2D Metroid
also, it's almost 9th gen, Shantae, Mario, FE, Wario Land, topdown Zelda, Megaman X already moved on beyond traditional sprites.
the dread project may as well be done into 2.5D
>>337310638>retconned
where?
>>337309258
I agree, I don't really care about a Metroid 5. Or the continuing story or anything. Evil feds is stupid, I didn't care about Fusion's story at all, and they keep having to come up with contrived reasons for there to still be Metroids around after Samus killed them all. It got silly.
Also for the love of god, I never want to see a ridiculous vague science vessel setting every again. It's a stupid and lazy way to have different biomes next to each other and the artificiality is just an excuse for laziness in the most important of Metroid, which is the world you explore.
>>337310638
i wished it was tho
>>337310727
My theory for this autism over specific themeing an aversion to new mechanics is just a result of starvation.
There hasn't been a metroid game in such a long time that people just want super or prime with only slightly different upgrades, a different map and a slightly different story that maintains the same exact theme.
They aren't ready to explore new ideas like being able to move from planet to planet, bounty hunting and a completely different style of upgrades from the normal (Like the ice missiles in corruption).
>>337310638
The retconned canon is the one where the Metroid Manga doesn't exist.
>>337311116
is the Metroid manga even canon?
>>337311079
>Like the ice missiles in corruption
What's wrong with Ice Missiles, that's been a thing since Metroid: Fusion.
>>337291738
It's not that we won't ever see another Metroid game but it's very unlikely that we will ever get a game on the level of Super Metroid or Prime ever again.
>>337311268
Why Sakamoto supervised it, since he barely had anything to do with it and every mainline and Prime game contradict it I say no. Only the first two chapters are canon really, but even those chapters have their issues when you look up the story of Metroid and Samus's story from the games.

>>337311408
Not the OP, but I accepted that; I'm fine with a Metroid game that is a step above Fusion.
>>337311275
Because they didn't like mitigation of the ice beam mechanic to the missiles, due to hating how they reverted back to a more classic metroid model of the beams stacking in effects rather than being 4 swappable weapons like in prior prime games.

Is it possible to get over how shitty Other M was? Every now and then something will remind me how much I hate this game. The other day I thought of the Deleter subplot and I was upset for quite a while that Other M exists. It's been years.
Sadly, no
>>337313325
WHY DOES IT EXIST? IT GOES NOWHERE! THERE'S NO RESOLUTION AND IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE OVERALL PLOT IN ANY WAY
>>337313325
It will end when Nintendo finally decides to Make Metriod: Dread. If a proper sequel to Fusion is not made I'm afraid the hate will continue.
>>337313542
Right? Every minute aspect of the story (or hell, the entire game) is this unbelievable awfulness and I do not understand how so many people could come together and create something so terrible. Like you read those Iwata Asks with the Team Ninja developers and how they're questioning Sakamoto at every retarded decision, but against their better judgement they keep going along with him. Why? Why did they let this happen?
>>337313710
I don't really want to see a sequel to Fusion because it will have the same elements as Other M. I think it'd take a concentrated effort to actively ignore every minor detail of Other M in the series going forward.
If Other M had normal controls and not pointy pointy waggly shit, it would be okay.
>>337314238
Because he's in charge of the Metroid series and could cancel the game at anytime, plus this was Team Ninja's first Metroid game, Sakamoto had to make sure they didn't screw it up. The issue though was that he decided to micromanage the team and fucked the game up himself.
Sakamoto stated himself that him and his team was only good at making 2D Metroid game where he is far more restricted and can't pour all of his vision down our throats so if anything he needs to stick with 2D and leave the 3D to Tanabe.
>>337314531
Team Ninja suggested Nunchuck controls but Sakamoto kept saying no
only reason Other M is remote-only because muh nostalgia.
>>337314531
It wouldn't though, it'd still be relentlessly linear with retarded locking doors through boring environments, there'd be no exploration, music would be bland and totally forgettable, game would still be ugly, combat would still be brokenly easy, and you'd still be sitting through a god-awful story.
>>337292935
Oh fuck, I've been triggered. Fucking seriously, I spent a good 15 minutes once just looking for some small bullshit in this damn game
I wonder what Sakamoto and his team at EPD are doing now that they released Miitomo. Seeing as how the next mobile game is not made by him and his team since it's Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem. Since I do remember Nintendo stated that all EPD teams from Mario to Zelda to Metroid and the rest would make games for both the NX and mobile.
>>337300963
Any fan of the series would know this was either a joke or a take on Samus being half-Chozo. Leave it to uniformed agenda pushing trannies to think its all about them.
>>337313325
If you think about the "Adam shoots Samus in the back" scene you'll be set for life.
I mean, Adam shoots and incapacitates Samus because he's convinced that the Metroid in front of her is immune to ice, then TRIES TO KILL IT WITH ICE.
Think about it. He shoots her in the back because he wants to stop her from trying to go to Sector Zero, because he's completely convinced (without a single piece of evidence, and this is something he flat out admits) that those Metroids are immune to ice and therefore unkillable - AND THEN TRIES TO KILL ONE WITH ICE.
People get upset by the SEXISM, but even if you set that aside this is still one of the stupidest, most nonsensical pieces of fiction ever written. This is just writing a scene after another, and not thinking how it all contradicts itself.

I don't really want to go to sleep angry, but you're right. Although I think it's worse than that, because it's not even like it's different scenes contradicting one another. It's one scene and nothing about it makes any sense at all and it contradicts itself in the scene several times. It's such an unbelievable pile of shit. I can't believe they got people to say the lines in a recording booth. Although they all sound bored to death so maybe they just stopped caring at that point.
>>337307890
ZM has the entire original Metroid on the cartridge. They're basically saying "why play just Metroid when you can play the remake and original bundled together?"
>>337313542
>Why does it exist
Sakamoto has no subtly. While metroid has always been inspired by Alien, Sakamoto couldn't help but shove as many blatant alien references in Other M as possible, including plenty of references to Alien 4 like in fusion.
This means inserting a character that's a plant for Weyland-Yuta- I mean the Gfed to cover up the corruption as it's discovered.
>>337315693
When I said "scene" I meant the individual parts of that cutscene.
Like
>Samus follows the Deleter in a room
>there's a Baby Metroid in the room!
>the Deleter shoots Samus in the back!
>the Baby Metroid is about to attack her, but... the Deleter kills the Metroid saving her?!?
>The Deleter is ADAM?!?!?!
>He wasn't actually the Deleter, he shot her in the back to save her!
And so on.
>>337315693
>Although they all sound bored to death
Didn't Sakamoto direct Samus' English voice actor?
Despite not knowing English?

Some of those images look pretty good actually. I might just search for and save some of them.

I'm really convinced it's a small vocal minority here that samefags the hell out of these threads.
The Queen fight was great and so was Phantoon. Nightmare was a cool fight as well.

hi Moviebob

>small vocal minority
kek
>>337317197
Nobody hates it for the sub-par gameplay, they just don't consider the few mildly entertaining fights to be redeeming in the least.
Also the queen fight was horrible, the only good fight was with the Rhedogian
>>337317197
LMAOOOOOOOOO
They fucking RUINED Nightmare. How could you think that fight was good at all?
And the Queen? That was trash too. They give you like ten seconds to figure out you have to use an ability that has been "unauthorized" the whole game, and only mentioned ONCE during the tutorial
>>337317197
>it's the just /v/ meme again
>>337317197
/v/ was also wrong about RE5, RE6, FFX, FFXII, FFXIII, FFXIII-2, LRFFXIII, 3rd Birthday, Mario Galaxy 2, and Zelda Twilight Princess among many other games.
/v/ really has the most ass backwards shortbus opinions on everything.

I mean, I guess some of the fights were fun the first time. If you could skip cutscenes, it might have been worthwhile as a $5 action game.

even DMC2's decent compared to Other M

hell no

i'd make a site destroying Other M copies like the Shaq-Fu one than selling it for 25 cents

Did I miss something or are you not referring to the Monty Oum animation?

chirst, gonna go to sleep.
>>337320156
I have no idea what's going on and am asking for more information.
Call me retarded or whatever, I just want to know what he's talking about.
I'm still not sure how to get into Metroid II, when I played it as a kid I basically just got lost and just Spider Balled everywhere, and when I played it a year or two back the screen length drove me mad on top of being even more lost than I remembered being when I was younger. I know areas are locked off until you kill X amount of Metroids but being so used to actually being able to see more than a foot ahead of me, a small map, and there not being a secret around literally every wall so you have to spider ball into it just wasn't for me.
AM2R in comparison felt like it handled like an even faster Zero Mission and that also drove me nuts. Zero Mission was just the right speed but AM2R was just like everything I did had me moving at Speed Booster speed.
>>337291738
They made a shitload of them after they killed the series with Prime.
>>337321595
Fuck off purist.
2D and Prime are both great takes on Metroid.
>>337321760
>linear piece of shit that basically plays itself minus the scanning that interrupts the shitty gameplay segments is the same as a game meant to be played as quickly as possible and in any way the player can think of with sequence breaking
Prime is a piece of shit and anybody who thinks otherwise hates the series.
>>337321893
>linear
With the very first word you outed yourself as somebody who has no idea what they're talking about.
Prime 1 has a shitton of easy sequence breaks. Now Prime 2 makes it harder and Prime 3 has near to none, but we're both in agreement that Prime 3 isn't very good so it doesn't matter.
>>337322060
>Prime 1 has a shitton of easy sequence breaks.
That were through glitches that were removed in the definitive wii version. A bunch of game breaking glitches makes for a shitty game, not a proper sequel.
>>337322156
>That were through glitches that were removed in the definitive wii version.
Then it's not the definitive version is it, pleb? Point remains that classic Prime 1 is rife with opportunities to sequence break for players of all skill levels.
>>337322156
And Super's sequence breaks aren't glitches and exploits?
>>337321893
>Anyone who disagrees hates this series.
Sounds just like
>Anyone who likes ZSS loves Other M.
You've swapped directions, but your tactics remain the same, ACfag.
>>337322241
>a bunch of unintended glitches makes for a good game
Only on /v/ can somebody be this fucking stupid. Not even getting into the awful gameplay, Prime is not a Metroid game. It is a pile of shit in the same vein as DmC. A good series shit out to a western developer and raped.
>>337322315
Some are, most are not. Is wall jumping up past the bugs to get super bomb before super missle a glitch?
>>337322315
Clearly Torizo Skip, Early Super Missile, Early Ice Beam, Early Wrecked Ship with continuous long jump etc. don't count as sequence breaks because they are glitches.
>>337321893
Hypocrites like you are the worst part of any fanbase. "Everything I say is right, and if you disagree you're not a real fan." You literally hate a big portion of Metroid yet say other people hate the series for liking it? Definition of cognitive dissonance.
>>337322380
Yeah it can actually. If you're complaining about an updated version of the game having fewer glitches, then clearly having the glitches made the initial release of Metroid Prime better.
>>337317775
>Other M scored higher than Star Fox Zero
IT'S NOT FAIR
>>337322060
>Prime 3 isn't very good so it doesn't matter
Thank you, someone that finally gets it. Prime 3 was the shittiest Prime in the trilogy. It and Hunters lead to Federation Force and Prime 4 will suck because Tanabe never understood Metroid.
>>337322156
No, Tanabe's shitty decisions to remove something that has been part of Metroid from the beginning does not make for a broken game. Every decision Tanabe made with the Prime series has been shit. It was only a matter before his cancer would effect the core gameplay of the Prime series with it.
>>337322432
By your retarded logic, people who dislike Fallout 3 and Oblivion are now cancer. The same could be said for Sonic. A bunch of shitty games getting shitty sequels does not mean the originals are not the true essence of the series.
>>337322380
>Some are, most are not. Is wall jumping up past the bugs to get super bomb before super missle a glitch?
But some of the coolest and most important breaks are.
>>337322423
>>337322531
Are you seriously going to sit here and argue turning the series into an FPS didn't change the "core gameplay?"
I feel like the people worrying about there never being anymore Metroid are worrying about the wrong things.
We're going to get more Metroid, I have no doubts about that. The problem is that, with the way Nintendo is, I doubt it will ever be the Metroid we actually liked.
Also you fucks need to stop responding to the obvious "Prime is shit" bait, that stuff got stale years ago.
>>337310821
BTFO
>>337322610
Metroid Prime 1 & 2 had differences from the 2D games but they kept the exploration, isolation, and somewhat of the sequence breaks until Tanabe put his two senses in. The rest of the Prime games are shit though.
>>337322610
When people talk about the core gameplay of a Metroidvania they're not talking about the moment to moment gameplay, they're talking about a structure.
The exploration, level design, powerup system etc. are all very true to the theme of charting and overcoming a hostile alien environment.
>>337322785
Couldn't have said it better myself.
>>337322785
>when people talk about the core gameplay, they don't actually mean anything about how the game plays
Then maybe they should use a proper term instead of being a retard. Prime plays nothing like a Metroid game and it's the biggest reason the game is garbage. The level design and horrible scanning segment bullshit don't help, but the core gameplay is fucking awful. For fuck's sake, modern FPSes have more complex controls and more intuitive controls.
>>337320678
Sucks for you
AM2R controls like a dream to me
>>337322610
The only Metroid game that can really be argued to be an FPS in a traditional sense of Prime Hunters, and quite possibly Federation Force.
Prime 1-3 sure as fuck weren't Halo, despite people seemingly connecting the two. Even Hunters was more of an arena shooter.
>>337323001
>even game consisting of shooting in firstd person outside of minigame-style segements
>not an FPS
>>337322380
>>337322423
Nah, those are exploits, but it's still something that wasn't intended by the developers in both cases. Whether it's a glitch or an exploit, in both Super and Prime you're taking advantage of developer oversights to do things out of order.
Really, though, I'm not sure why you'd call game a game nonlinear when all of the options to progress differently are completely accidental.
>>337322940
>Prime plays nothing like a Metroid game
You explore an untamed world finding secrets and growing more powerful through abilities that eventually come to let you dominate that were previously difficult or impossible to overcome.
No, it's not a side-scrolling shooter anymore, but that's not what made Metroid interesting. It's not Mega Man.
>>337323109
>in a traditional sense
Reading comprehensions?
Go play Metroid Prime and then go play Halo. Or Quake. Or Doom. Or anything that fits the FPS genre.
It's very much its own experience.
>>337322940
It's a good thing the game doesn't focus on twitchy FPS gameplay then. Because you're right, if Metroid were designed like Halo and the point was simply to shoot aliens, the control would be inadequate.
At the same time, games like Super Metroid have poor controls if you're expecting a pure platformer. The gravity is much too floaty, combat isn't very interesting and the button mapping isn't as good as later 2D entries.
The game still works because it's about more than just linear platforming, it's about mastering the complexities to break the game's initially rigid design.
It isn't the point of the game and by focusing on the switch from platformer to FPS you're missing the bigger picture.
>>337323126
It may not have been done by design, but it's still easy to do and improves the game significantly.
>>337323295
Metroid Prime is designed to simply walk forward and shoot aliens. The game is incredibly linear with a shitty gimmick in each room that blocks you moving forward into the next room to do the same thing. And the worst part is the gun play is horrible. So what's the fucking point? To see a lifeless world with nothing in it? To find every shitty scan point that tells a story even Primefags hate?
>>337323381
>skipping most of the game improves it significantly
At least we can agree on this.
>>337323282
>>337323001
I really don't get why anyone would care so much about the integrity of a videogame that they would feel the need to push these semantic arguments about genres simply to try and distance it from other games in the genre. I love Prime but it's not like it's so special you have to pretend it transcends genres when it's pretty clear what it is.
It's an FPS. Just because it's different from other games in the genre doesn't mean it isn't one. Crash Bandicoot is nothing like Banjo Kazooie but they're both 3D platformers. A single genre can have variety in it.
>>337323475
>Metroid Prime is designed to simply walk forward and shoot aliens.
That's Other M, famalam
>>337323551
Other M is shit but that's not what we're discussing right now.
>>337323526
>in a traditional sense
Please, stop ignoring that I wrote this.
Yes, Prime is a series where you shoot things in first person, no one's denying that, but if you go in expecting CoD, you're going to be disappointed.
It's its own little niche not many games in a very saturated market attempted to ape.
>>337323475
>Metroid Prime is designed to simply walk forward and shoot aliens.
Look at a single level map from the game
and say that with a straight face.
>>337323520
Have you ever played Deus Ex, anon?
