Paperclyp Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Do I play 2 and 3? I sorta played the Prime remake and though, I think I'm good. But now I've got a mild itch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Looks ok. So maybe it will actually launch with the Switch 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPiranha Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I don’t think a Metroid has ever been a launch title? Did Samus Returns make it for the Game Boy? Honestly I kind of expect a new fully 3D Mario announcement for the Switch 2. This looks good though and glad to have some proof of life. I’d be happy to see it be a platform straddling title, or for Switch 2 to be fully BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Looks like Metroid Prime. I'm honestly not sure if I'll be dissapointed or excited if Prime 4 plays exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metroid could very well launch simultaneously on the Switch and Switch 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are great games of their own accord. The few things Prime 1 doesn't do well, namely combat that turns into simon-says color matching by the end, are improved in 2 and 3. I'd also say the enviornment design by the end of 2 and 3 far supersceeds Prime 1. Lots of holy shit that's cool things. But they aren't as consistent about it either. 2 is by far the most difficult, especially in the Gamecube original release. The world switching mechanic gets a bit annoying with how the dark side treats you. Its final area is my favorite in the 3D series. You might need a guide for the near-end of the game. It's the most cryptic of the three. 3 is more 'cinematic' to its detriment. Namely the first few hours are weak. But it eventually settles into the Prime structure, just with different planets as opposed to one interconnected world. It has some of the highest highs (and lows) of the Prime series, boss fights are epic (if not a bit mashy), and the ending sequence is a franchise highlight. Another cool thing about Prime 3, you don't lose any of your abilities at the start. You're fully there, everything is additive. For what its worth, it came out right around Bioshock, and but ending up sticking with with me more. People were so enamored with the HD twins and anti-Wii at the time, including about its controls, I feel the game never truly got its fair shake. Those who saw it through know, it brings you places you always hoped the franchise would end up at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Still holding out hope for remasters of 2/3 before this comes out. I still have the collection on Wii and I can dig that out of the closet if necessary, but I want to replay them before 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I’ve just rewatched the trailer and I’m all for cinematic Metroid, but the charge beam needs beefing up a bit, it just looks weirdly small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 The original Metroid Primes were some some of my favorite games of all time, but honestly this trailer really barely shows us anything. Is there a single new gameplay element or new console generation sparkle or anything being shown? It's just more of the same. I'll also probably get this, even though I'm barely a console gamer anymore, but this trailer isn't really hyping me up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s definitely more dynamic and has more going on in the environment from the very small teaser we’ve seen. Even if it’s just more Metroid Prime with nicer trappings, it’s still going to be the only game like it released for almost two decades.

Chris- Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 It's sad/hilarious how Nintendo forced Retro to put out this 'gameplay' trailer and publicly hold them to 2025. Given what has been reported about the game's development, Nintendo really didn't do them any favors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given what has been reported about the game's development, Nintendo really didn't do them any favors! Huh? We haven’t heard anything about a troubled development since Retro started rebooting it. If anything their success with Remastered should instill some confidence. Its not a bad trailer either. Not jaw dropping or anything, but it’s focused on what the game looks like, very much as a follow up. You could similar things for Perfect Dark this year, though maybe there’s a few more questions there with the player movement looking scripted at parts.

DarkStar189 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 You could have told me that was a GameCube remaster and I would have agreed. I know it was just a tease, but i thought it looked pretty underwhelming by 2024 standards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyPiranha Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Why would this game be a pass if they don’t rerelease 2&3? If anything, releasing them shortly before the new one is going to cannibalize sales because you’re getting two, probably very similar games for the same price.

Brick Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I have a theory that the "Beyond" in the title could be referencing where we're going. The logo looks a bit like a black hole render, so maybe we travel through a black hole, to a galaxy or dimension beyond it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I haven't played Prime 2 or 3, but I'll still play 4. It's not like I'm invested in the story for the series. The Remaster was a good bit of fun. I'd like Remasters for the other two, but it's not necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're using a character from Prime Hunters as a villain. A game they had no hand in, by long shutdown studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 So to keep things on topic... Do we think Sylux had those Metroids imprinted to him, and that's why they're tame, or maybe those are just mochtroids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 D1Ps greatest bromance is fighting. Ms Fucking Cleos predicting reboots and 2&3 don’t matter even though it’s literally named Metroid Prime 4.
