Anyways, I think that MP looks like it will translate the best to the new style of play, simply because not only will the Wii make it look better and make it play differently, but it will actually be easier to play than it's GC MP1 and 2 counterparts. Can't wait for this title to make it out.

There will be both Ridley AND Dark Samus in this game! Awesomz!!
A cool new gameplay element is Samus hitting walls with her right hand(the normal one). You'll be able to break some walls and find hidden switches.

And this game owns so much. Why doesn't this forum have more raving Metroid fans like me!?
#7
Posted 13 May 2006 - 04:54 AM
They should have put Ridley or Dark Samus in SSBB, not Zero Samus.
#8
Posted 13 May 2006 - 05:23 AM
I would have prefered the Fusion Suit samus so the 'zero suit' =\.
And the fact that MP3 is a launch game concerns me. The graphics havn't been beefed up enough to next-gen, and some control issues need to be ironed out. That and it simply has not been in production long enough and will end up feeling more rushed than the last 1/3rd of MP1 (which is a bad thing...)

The only thing I want to see is Samus stop losing her weapons! It's really annoying having to go back and get all of her stuff. And lets try to avoid going back to find doors in places you've already been.
#13
Posted 13 May 2006 - 09:29 AM
I wouldn't like all doors you see in a room to be accesible right away. The game would be even more straight forward than it is now. I like back-tracking.
#14
Posted 13 May 2006 - 09:31 AM
And back-tracking is just pain-stakingly boring. I'm sorry, but I'd rather be exploring new worlds than going back to places I've already been.

Definetly. That was the worst thing about the Prime games was the amout you had to backtrack. Worst was thinking you knew the right way, only for it to be somewhere else.
#16
Posted 13 May 2006 - 03:08 PM
But yeah, MP3 looks fine, it's doing the same thing as Halo 3, it took the second game from the series, and added the expansive environments from the first game, and now, it's winnar! Expect to not go through nearly as many doors in MP3.
...I really want to see a Metroid Dread though. ESPECIALLY a 3d graphics, 2d gameplay one that's on Wii, sort of like how they're now making "Super Paper Mario" for GCN, but not with the dimension switching gameplay.

A very cool mechanic for Corruption; the nunchuck attachment also controls Samus' left hand, the one used for grapple beam. By thrusting it forward, Samus will release her grapple beam as an attack, forward, onto an enemy.
#19
Posted 13 May 2006 - 07:50 PM
If you don't like the backtracking style of Metroid, don't play the games, because all of them are like that.
Also, Red Steel apparently turned out really dodgy. It uses the remote in place of an analogue stick rather than making the game specially for the remote. Moving the controller to the left makes the target slowly move along to the left as if you were moving an analogue stick to the left. If doesn't use the controller as a pointer.
Metroid is far from living in it's shadow, seeing as it's an entirely different type of game and has been around for much longer than Red Steel...

Sure, but wouldn't it be even more enjoyable and have a better sensation if you unlock new areas by opening a door in the world you're already at? Also, MP has been kind of linear, maybe they could open up the worlds a bit, like the sandy place in MP1 (can't remember what it's called).
#23
Posted 17 May 2006 - 11:34 AM
I do agree that the game IS a bit too linear, but it's still awesome and maybe the linear thing just makes it a bit more different to other games... right?

At that point, you have no other option but to proceed in a specific manner; once you do, the process repeats, you can explore, scan items, pick up upgrades, etc. until the next required path.

It's like when one of your hands goes out of control, and you have to use your other hand to pin it down while you stab it with a syringe and inject it with stuff to paralyze it.

#42

You mean that kinda thing doesn't happen to you?
Anyway, I'm looking foreward to a lot of Wii games. My main reason for this one, though, is it's closest thing to an FPS that Nintendo has. And personally, I think it'd be freaking awesome to play an FPS on the Wii.

That will be the only good thing about that. And keep in mind the game still has to be good. I briefly owned Vanguard, briefly. What a terrible game, the Nunchuk was overloaded with motions, the remote itself was inaccurate and hard to use. Even if it has 32 player online, the gameplay still has to be half decent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am thinking about buying this game with my Birthday money. But, I'm also thinking of picking up the first two on GC first, seeing as the only MP game I have is Mp-Hunters (awsome). Ideas? Suggestions? Ratings?
Edit- I'm pretty much sold on the two GC versions. Niether of them got below 9/10 or anything to that extent, and Prime got 2002 game of the year by like 3 different sites.

I'll tell you one thing about hard mode though, the Omega Pirate is WAAAAAAAY harder then Meta-Ridley. And they say Meta-R' is the hardest of the bosses. I lost one energy tank killing Ridley, and nearly all of them against the OP. Never died and I am SO ****ing proud of that.
Maybe I killed Ridley fast cause I've faught him a million times in Prime...
Anyway, I'm back from work. Time to play MP2 on hard, and party like it's 2002 cause Prime 3 ships tomorrow!

And I know. There's an unlockable screenshot mode, where you can take screenshots, not just from what you see through the visor, and send them to friends. If there's anything else, I haven't heard about it yet.

Yeah, I saw the video review and the written one. Even though I was expecting a bit higher (same as when Zelda got 9.5), both are concise and well-thought out, and it at least justifies the score really well.
It's interesting how reminiscent the review was for Zelda. Graphics? Better, but can't compete with next-gen graphics. Artistic design? The best. Soundtrack? Epic and appropriate. Gameplay? Wii controls greatly enhance experience. Overall difficulty? Slightly easier, but still a challenge.
But Corruption did more than Zelda to take advantage of the Wii's features (considering it was built from the ground up using the Wii's design, whereas Zelda was just a GC title with tacked on controls) and they still both got the same score.
Ah well. Doesn't change how much I want to play this game. :rolleyes:

Absolutely. The only thing you'll be missing out on is the nostalgia of seeing old enemies or events from the first Prime games, but MP3 is still entirely self-contained. If anything, it might be better, since the game will feel more fresh that way.
As for the latter question, it would be worth it in my opinion, but be sure to have at least one or two other games that you'll want to get. You can choose from maybe Zelda, or the later to be released Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl... or heck, you can surprise us by getting a good third party game (Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkiachi 2, Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz, Sonic & the Secret Rings are my top choices), or Soul Calibur Legends, which does look very good.
Now, back to Metroid. :rolleyes:

ANYWAY. This might possibly be the first Metroid game ever to be bought by me. I traded my friend AW:DS for Hunters for about a week, and I must admit, it was fun. And the graphics weren't half bad (for a hand held, at least. I'd compare the DS's graphics to an N64, but seeing as a DS is like, a million times smaller, and in fact SM64:DS actually has better graphics than the origional, you have to give it some credit). But I've never really fallen in love with the Metroid series. I'm not even quite sure why I'm thinking about getting MP:3, but I'll probably ask for it for christmas anyways.

GameSpot gave Corruption 8.5. Seriously, what's their problem? I mean, if EVERYBODY else is giving the game around the 9.5 mark, how can only they be right? History is repeating itself. Just remember what happened with Twilight Princess. I think GameSpot doesn't like the Wii for some strange reason.

Graphics: For the Wii, the best graphics yet. Easily. There are details on every surface, creature, and liquid. The particle effects in some areas are just amazing. The visor gets a real treat in scan mode too, which looks incredibly realistic. Runs smoothly, no matter how intense the battles can get. Just flows perfectly.10/10
Sound/ Music: From foot steps, to creature growls to the music, it is incredibly done and shows the moodiness wherever you may be. Boss music is just great. No question about it. 10/10
Gameplay: Sometimes you don't have to fire your weapon for a while, except to open doors, and sometimes, you can barely move without feeling like you're being attacked. The boss battles just seem great. From the first to the last the battles just seem epic. Hyper mode is a GREAT addition that just makes you feel powerful. If you get tired of something, you can just go into hyper mode, and blast it out of existence in seconds. My only issue is the final boss is easy compared to some of the other bosses. 9.5/10
Controls: Great. Mastered. If anybody who reads this knows how fast you can react with a mouse and keyboard compared to a controller on a console, that is how it feels. Retro perfected the control down to perfection. Any FPS' that come to the Wii from now on, MUST have they're controls live up to the reaction time of Prime 3. A and B can be revered if you find your thumb hurting too much, but I didn't find it a problem. 10/10
Replay value: Since when doesn't a Metroid game have good replay value? I first recommened you play through the first time scanning everything you can see, then come back a second time for 100%. The BEST part about scanning, is when you start a new game on that file the scans CARRY over to the next playthrough, so you DON'T have to scan everything again. What a lifesaver. A few parts are pains to do over, but it's worth it. Hard mode is recommened for the second playthrough, and there is a mode HARDER then hard, which I don't even dare to try yet. 9.5/10
OVERALL: Is it the Wii's best game as of yet? Is it better then Twilight Princess? That is an absolute yes. Metroid Prime 3 plays great, has awesome bosses, and has a story beyond imagination. And with 3 different endings. (Less then 75%, 75%-99%, 100% Not completely different endings Just more of an ending depending on the percentage.) Bungie has some competition in the "end of a trilogy" section this year. 10/10
Overall score isn't an average.

That's essentially it. Did you ever see the preview of it from 1UP? They kept hitting it for it's graphics not being as good as the other system's games and compared it to "big budget games" like Halo 3. They're 360 fanboys, and do not give fair reviews to anything but. Mind you they ARE rated as the WORST site for Wii reviews and the like.
And T is right. Most sites are paid to give games lower scores. Reviews by big sites, like IGN and Gamespot, should always be taken with that in mind. If it seems too low to be real, it most likely is.

What was Gamespot's problem with Prime 3? I can't seem to find any problem besides the multiplayer comment.
And Metroid, is NOT about multiplayer. Metroid is a single person game. Some people have not learned it, and never will. Metroid has always been praised for it's story. People have to start seeing past the fact that it is not multiplayer that makes a great game. It's story, graphics, gameplay and controls. I myself am not a fan of multiplayer. There is always too many idiots to deal with online and the such. I prefer an engaging single player game to ANYTHING which is why I love Metroid.
And I've noticed something. Fanboys of XBox's and multiplayer games all seem to have a problem with Nintendo JUST because they don't have online multiplayer. I made a comment about MP3 elsewhere, and I got this. This quote is from someone who can't seem to get enough online XBox, goes to this forum, and hasn't been here in a while. I'm not giving a name for his safety from fanboys.

I honestly don't understand it. Why people can like multiplayer more then a game with good story, is beyond me. Except Super Smash Bros. That's the only exception.

Is there ANY point to that article, at all? Why would you want to graphically compare a new game on a new console to it's prequel on an older console? No ****, it's going to look better. And some of the compared areas don't even look similiar, period. And I'll quote a specific part of the article:
"The jagged light-lines on the platform in the back of the Metroid Prime 3 shot make us wonder how the game would look in true high-definition."
I sense some Wii-hate right there. It's subtle, but I think it's definitely there.
Actually, even if GameSpot weren't biased against the Wii I still wouldn't like them. They gave Half-Life 2 a 9.2/10 whilst they gave GTA: San Andreas a 9.6/10, for crying out loud. That says something right there.
I agree with Nosferatu about online and multiplayer. He said it all.

Controls are fun, graphics are nice but the textures are sometimes a little too simple, sound is alright, everything sounds the way you'd expect. The music can be repetitive and unimaginative compared to other Nintendo titles, but who plays a Metroid game for the music? I'm just feeling a pacing problem with this game. Sometimes I get an itch in my trigger
