Metroid Other M

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Not sure if there was a topic for it, I searched but found nothing, anyway. I've following the game since E3 last year, and this month is being agonizing. And now with the awesome kickass trailer/commercial released, I must say I can't wait.

So, any of you fan of Metroid? Hate the new game? Love it? Personally since Fusion, I waited for something like this.

[fruckert]

I'm honestly worried.
Still buying it when it comes out, though.
Or at least renting.

[fruckert]

Play Super Metroid.
Love life afterwards.

I'm pretty cautious on this. A story driven Metroid game could end badly. Also, Team Ninja :downs:

With the person above.

Metroid should be about desolate planets, data entries, ancient ruins and not people talking. Just the talking people in Metroid Prime 3 were annoying for me. Especially that there captain who's ugly as bidoof and had a horrible voice.

I LOVED the Primes, even the 2nd one that was frustrating as all heck at times. Still never beat that one on hard.

I'm a little with Prpl on the whole talking thing 3 had going on, but even when people and computers were ordering you around, they never really told you how to actually do any of the things they were asking of you but just kind of pointed you in the right direction. I'm a little wary of the direction this Other M thing is taking, but I'm pretty hooked on the genre in general and I've heard good things about Team Ninja, so yeah I'm gunna grab it.

I think it's okay they try this story driven thing, just like they tried the 1st person shooting thing. I am not worried about gameplay, a friend of mine  that got to play it and it's more critical about things than me, said it felt like an old Metroid game, gameplay wise. I don't worry of the story because the creator was on it from start to end, so anybody knows how to handle it it's him. The manga always showed the story of Samus, but we never saw that even referenced on a game. So I believe one game with a emotional touch won't hurt it's overall reputation. Besides, I hear the story driven thing will be handled as flashbacks, not as story on the spot. But whatever.

My worry is on the voice acting, which besides the commercial, has been very mixed on being bad, good, and horrible.

But if they can pull it off with and with music as such from the commercial, it can be a good success.

[Prpl_Mage]

Voice acting usually ruin game's chances of being awesome. Like Vaan's voice. Grandia 2, Metroid prime 3, star ocean till the end of time at some points. And so on.
Just hearing Samus speak in Super smash Brawl is annoying enough. She's not supposed to have a personality that apparent and stuff in my world.

[RuneBlade]

I say it'll be Metroid:Brawl. It will be **** compared to the earlier ones, but faggots will still like it and will want more, possibly ruining much of what is to come

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Troll post is troll.

Video game formulas cant stay the same forever. I think the problem is that most people didn't care about Samus' story, they just wanted to kill aliens and hazardous bio-organisms. And I think the creator never really wanted that, just that since players wanted it that way that's how he rolled. But he wants us to know the story of this one person, who we use to kill baddies but never cared to know how she got to where she is. Also I don't think they'll be another game like this, I think this game might stay unique, speaking that it prolly be the only Metroid game with a deep story.

[ZeroKirbyX]

You guys remember when Metroid Prime came out, and it was all 3D with a story? Man that ****ing ruined the series. **** rejuvenating a series on its last legs man. Is it really too much to ask for a game just like the old ones? I mean christ, I've already beaten Metroid, Metroid 2 and Super Metroid. Just toss me a game that's so similar to games I've already played I can clear it in a day and just compare it to previous games instead of judging it on its own merit.

**** Prime ruined the franchise with all its high end graphical effects, excellent combat and wonky controls. How dare they flesh out the Metroid universe? I don't need to know WHY the pirates were on Zebes.  I don't need to know why Samus half bird. I don't need to learn about the Chozo and why they have ego boosting statues in their image on EVERY DAMN PLANET.

Disregard that, just ****ing wait til' it comes out and stop bitching. If you don't think Other M will be good, you won't think it will when you actually play.

[SaiKar]

My sarcasm detector is reading a big "?" at Kirby's post there, but um, I think I agree maybe.

[ZeroKirbyX]

Yeah, huge sarcasm. I'm just recalling the exact same concerns when Prime was first announced. I agree that Other M could be a steaming pile, but I also think it could be a great game.

[Prpl_Mage]

It will be different indeed. Hopefully for the better like prime was (don't kill me)

[ZeroKirbyX]

Prime was so cool. Probably one of the best games in the series.
