It's a remake so shouldn't you already know the answer?

its metroid 2 so it will be on par with metroid 2

thats a silly way of looking at it since zero mission was essentially a remake. so the question is will they pull the same or similar quality as zero mission or will they fuck it up.

but REmake tier or Tales of Symphonia chronicles tier?

I honestly can't tell. It seems like it's development was really rushed.

The fact that it has melee attacks like Other M has more worried. Cautiously optimistic.

>Mirrors of Fate developer
You tell me.

every team needs a good manager

I loved Mirrors of Fate, why does Sup Forums hate it?

So far it looks pretty good, honestly. Maybe Mercury Steam only needed a Konami exec that cared about Castlevania implying they'd care breathing down their necks to not ruin the franchise.

I thought it looked amazing based on the Treehouse footage.

But I could just be an easy lay right now because I've been demanding a new Metroid game for six years.

>on par with Metroid 2
That's not saying much. It was always the worst one.

fuck u, i liked it

I'ts being made by the fine people of Mercury Steam, known for killing castlevania, so you decide.

...

I hope its good.

>people who made a bad game will never make a good game ever

Even if this and Prime 4 are good Metroidfags wouldn't buy it
Nintendo wasted effort trying to please a fanbase that will never be pleased

Their previous games aren't even bad, just pretty average.
Of course I would've preferred a more internal studio to develop the game though

>Will it be good?
Maybe.
>Will it be another Other M?
Definitely not. It's an actual Metroid game and doesn't hit you over the head with a retarded drawn-out poorly written plot.

It looks great.

Retro were shit before Nintendo gave them oversight, from trailers it looks like they've had the same magic touch on MercurySteam.

they played it for half an hour on stream yesterday and it looks pretty good

Well that's good news

Hopefully the Environments will be more varied than 2's caves.

>remake Fire Emblem 2
>remake Metroid 2
Are they going to remake Zelda 2 next?

...

...

i unironically hope so

>Zelda 2 remake
Who would do the game justice? From Software?

>From Software
Commit Sudoku

>From Software?
Yeahno.

I claim this thread in the name of Mother Brain.

Go build some tubes.

...

Why asking the same question twice ?

...

...

This alone is enough to tell me it's going to be garbage. Mercury Stream is one of the worst developers ever.

>it'll be shit! They're handing Metroid off to some no-talent western developer!

Now where have I heard that before...

They definitely aren't, although they're far from the best

Looks absolutely fine with me, don't know why Sup Forums keeps complaining about it
And no, it may turn out not to be as good as the older titles but it will NEVER be as bad as Other M

This

Original metroid was fucking shit and way worse than II.
I literally never beat it until I played the hacked version that uses saves.

It does look like it has some redeeming features, but it just won't be better than AM2R. Not in my eyes at least. allow me to explain:

>I cannot and will not consider the contextual action prompts to be good. I think they're garbage like quick time events, but calling them QTEs triggers the marketers, so I'm trying to be more "sensitive".
>hoping it has a hard mode, but I don't think it will
>the devs are a red flag
>too many casualized features, like checkpoints
>melee counter mechanic will trivialize most encounters
>have to pray that Sakamoto won't shove his waifu fetishes into this game

I'm so cautious about it, but at the same time no matter how good or bad it is, I'll still have AM2R. So I guess I shouldn't worry. But after a 10 year hiatus of bad Metroid games, can you blame me for being skeptical?

>no original suit
Fucking DROPPED

From what I've seen the qtes-promps whatever are like dark souls parries. They don't play automatically after a Melee. You have to shoot at the enemy.

Mercusteam went downhill after LOS1 (a great game) because of some internal problems. Producer or director was a pain in the ass and that's why the later games were pretty mediocre at best. The team is full of very good artists.

With something like the return of Metroid after more than 10 years, Nintendo probably watched over the project a lot. They were probably less free than they were with Konami and Castlevania.

I'm optimistic, what we saw already seems way better than Mirror of Fate, but you guys can't tell because you probably didn't played MOF.

So its a bit like Devil May Cry 4's context sensitive attacks?

Should have been sprite work or pixel art instead of this 2.5D garbage. Game looks ugly as fuck and doesn't even run at 60fps.

Maybe, even the weapon boost magic was selectable during the animation. I think that even if it's a locked action, you can still choose what to shoot snd when

From the looks of the hands on footage, it seems like they actually put effort into it. And the new abilities look fun to play around with.

The main thing that concerns me are the Aeion abilities, they seem like pointless fluff that only exist to make the game easier for casuals. Maybe the game gets a lot harder later and they start becoming necessary, but this is modern Nintendo so I doubt it. This is the one case where I actually would have preferred if an ability was locked behind amiibo, specifically that scan ability which completely trivializes exploration.

I still think that's too casual. I hated it when Dark Souls did it.

go download mirror of fate, play it, then you know how good this game will be

because it's not "castlsevania"

lords of shadow is the best castlevania game tho

Yours is a quite extreme stance on the matter. Sadly for you most people are fine with it nowadays, new zelda had them as well

I know. Casuals have ravaged the industry wanting things to be more "over-the-top" and "epic".

...

Yes

They're not, from a technical standpoint they're as AAA as AAA can be. They just need good directing.

The gameplay generally looks great
the melee counter looks too spammable though
I'm a little nervous

It's not required nor mandatory at least, same with the scanner.

Demon's Souls has parries.

Even if it's just an ok game, it'll still be the best Metroid since prime 3, and that's all I really want. To play a decent Metroid game again.

I can see all of this working well in a sequel to Metroid Fusion. Game would take play on a Chozo planet since going by Zero Mission and Samus Returns Sakamoto wants to expand on them and there may be a GF facility on the planet because they need to continue Fusion's storyline. Cutscenes will probably be short like Samus Returns with a little dialogue, thanks to the new Aeion abilities Samus will no longer need Adam to stop her to give her a map so Adam gets dropped out of the equation just like that. Samus will have inner monologues but like the Samus Returns cutscenes they will be completely skippable. The world will be bigger than any other 2D Metroid and will have freedom of exploration. Samus will wear a remodeled version of the Fusion Suit from the end of Metroid Fusion. Holy shit I already can't wait for Metroid 5, Sakamoto is right Samus Returns did open doors for future 2D Metroid games.

From what I've heard it's just a graphical remake, no new gameplay elements.

>known for killing castlevania

You mean Konami?

you're an idiot who didn't watch the gameplay then

Looks pretty good. Liked the treehouse gameplay. But I'll stay cautiously optimistic.

It's time to settle this amongst ourselves.

>strawpoll.me/13192610
what the fuck does it matter
they're both out

Return of Samus already has a story in place. No space for Sakamoto to waifufag with cutscenes. Mercury Steam worries me, but maybe they just need good direction.

They've streamed it for an hour yesterday and it's literally just 2D Metroid. I don't understand all the concern.
The graphics are kinda shit considering it's on 3DS but the sound and music were top notch.

if I heard the reveal right, they're flushing out the lore somehow

>Lord of Shadows
>Prime

>metroidvanias

XD

that's pretty cool.

They're also making Raiders of the Broken Planet, not sure how to feel about it.
Looks like ME:A with coop elements.

>10 people are corporate shills who hate all fan works

>only 2d can be metroidvania
are metroid threads always this shit

the 2nd LoS is metroidvania. Prime is definitely Super Metroid in 3D space, they even copied some music and had assets inspired by original areas in SM.

I'd be fine with them shoehorning space pirates or mother brain or some shit. I expect the game to be decent to good and Nintendo to take cue and make a Fusion sequel.

Way forward could do a pretty good one

MoF was following what Kojima already set up.
They're working with someone competent now.

I think the art design manages to offset the bad resolution, it's a good blend of Prime and classic styles. I'm just happy to see chozo ruins again.

It will probably be okay, but I expect it to be inferior to other sidescroller metroids from what we've scene.

...

>Escorting THE BABBY out at the end of the game.
>See an X Parasite float by in the background.

Do you think they fully appreciate it?

Looks bad. Not buying it.

>checkpoints

So, it has no save rooms, then? Or checkpoints and save rooms?

But what arguments do you have against the actual gameplay that was shown?

Please don't respond with simplistic babby "it's shit!!!" arguments.

I think he's shitposting and means just save rooms.

Nintendo has fixed up bad developers in the past. Have you ever played the games Next Level made before Nintendo partnered up with them?

I'd say it's more that Metroid cannot be Metroidvania. It's just Metroid.

Stop making me hype for something that won't happen in a lot of years, user. That sounds fabulous.

Never mind that fucking RETRO was complete garbage until Nintendo got them into shape for Prime.

Is the freeshop still not being updated?
Will I be able to get this free or will I actually need to pay for it?
