Anyone else upset with the new direction Metroid OTHER M is taking?

Is anyone else upset with the new direction Metroid OTHER M is taking?

I loved Metroid Prime's unique gaming style and I feel like all Nintendo ever does is think:

" How can we make this game more appealing to other types of people and gamers?" And it ruins the whole thing.

FMV's are cool, but from the trailer the game looks very different than an exploring/adventure/scanning sh** game. Most people found that boring, but I loved having a game like that, and now the only one is gone D=

Anyone else feel the same?

I don't remember them saying at any point that they were making Other M appeal to everyone :O

They said it was taking Metroid more towards its roots, which is awesome.

BTW when I said making it appeal to more people I meant people who thought The Metroid Prime series was boring, with all the backtracking, puzzles, and tedious gameplay at times.

OTHER M looks very action-oriented and fast paced.

Im actually happy they are changing the style. this style isnt new. this perspective was how the original metroid was. it was changed to an FPS in the prime series. Its about time it reverted back to the original Metroid formula. The primes were good, but not as good as the originals

Do we even know what direction Metroid: Other M is taking?

I sure don't. We have, what, one single two- or three-minute trailer? Of course the trailer is going to have action in it; so did Metroid Prime, and that's what makes for an interesting trailer. People don't get hyped for a game by watching Samus scan stuff and then read text.

Sounds like someone is jumping the gun. Does change scare you? People *****ed about Metroid Prime because it departed from tradition too.

Nope, Im looking forward to it :)

I'm glad they're refreshing the series again.

The Metroid Primes were awesome, some of my favorite games of all time in fact. But what more could they do with that first person perspective? 3 games was enough.

Now we can look forward to something new and different :)

I saw a lot more third person and first person in there than I did 2d, but maybe thats just me.

Metroid is for the Japanese audience only

If you live out of Japan this Metroid is not meant for you

Judging by these two screenshots it seems there will be first person and like 3D side scrolling which im not too sure about having both. I love the Metroid Prime series graphics and gamplay which was in first person; 3D side scrolling may not be too bad but i am curious as to how there could be both in this game. Also, the graphics seems more colourful, i liked the more realistic graphics of the metroid prime series. Whether or not this will be a good direction for the metroid series is unknown as there has been little information released about the game.

No, opposite of the opposite lol

Japan was the place that made Super Metroid a hit

What did Nintendo do to reward their support? Turned it into a FPS and the Japanese audience left in droves, good ol' fashioned slap in their faces

The Wii is doing badly in Japan and part of their plan is to bring back a noteworthy franchise to the genre Japan wants

A better question would be if anyone is upset that Nintendo and Team Ninja are so blatantly trying to dethrone SMG as Wii Graphics King.

Seriously? Other M looks to have the tech and the art to make sweet love to my eyes.

Honestly if Nintendo believes that Team Ninja is going to do a good job with the Metroid series then we should at least wait to see more gameplay before we start to judge. Not much has been shown and Team Ninja has donea great job with its other games so we just need to wait to see. It might be a great hit.

From what I've seen I'm happy with the new direction.

The only thing that upsets me about Other M is that it isn't released already and at my house, and in my Wii with me playing it insesently and taking a week off of work to do so. Curse that game! ;P

What new direction?

By direction i believe he means the gameplay perspective. Like going from first person to a third person sidescroller. in actuality it was TP-->FP-->TP again. Either way. i liked all the metroid games. My favorite Metroid was Super Metroid, and my favorite prime game was prime 1.

Some fresh air won't hurt. Aside that I think the important things in Metroid series are the atmosphere and the somewhat slow pace of the game progress. Be it in 2D or 3D, it really doesn't matter.

I own Ninja Gaiden DS and I believe Team Ninja will do an awesome job.

I'm upset that Nintendo didn't hand off that style of gameplay to another forgotten franchise like Kid Icarus. The Metroid franchise already establised itself with the 1st-person-shooter Prime series, and Other M appears to be overdoing it.

Team Ninja + Fusion Team + Series Director Yoshio Sakamoto ... who has worked on every Metroid title but Metroid II - He supervised over the Retro games. So yeah, its in good hands.

Also the Metroid series needs to evolve from what it already was. The Prime series was good, but the 2D Metroid titles are far better. The best thing the Prime games did was create an amazing atmosphere.

With Team Ninja working on the game, they can make the game more story heavy and have more action.

I actually like this, another Metroid Prime game would be too much. It's a great trilogy but it's time Metroid tries something new again and it'll probably be awesome. I just hope a new sidescrolling Metroid comes to DS.

Well said. I agree. :lol:

I think Metroid: Other M is going to an awesome game no matter how it comes out because metroid games are always great. I think it will still have scanning in it somehow and even if it doesn't it will still be great. I can't wait for it!!!!!!:D

Don't worry. Yoshio Sakamoto and the guys behind Fuison are assisting Team Ninja. I don't think Samus'sother daddy (Gunpei Yokoi was the other one) will trick away from the form of a Metroid game. The game looks sweet and I want to see Samus in a space bikini :P Which never seems to happen in 3D :evil:

I am happy with what I saw but I am not sure if I can tell the direction it is taking based on a three-minute trailer. But do you really think Team Ninja will produce a game that will appeal to everyone? I don't think that will happen.

dude i have no clue what you are talking about this one looks like the best one yet

i almost peed my pants when i saw the trailer

Actually, I'm glad with the new direction Metroid is taking. The Prime Trilogy was good and all, but I think people are ready for a change to the Metroid series. My only concern, like the guy a couple posts above me said, is that Tam Ninja would turn Metroid into an action frenzy and destroy the exploration aspect the series is known for. Then again, all I saw was a 3-minute trailer, and trailers are supposed to look fun and exciting, so action is the main focus in the trialer. Since I know that it actually won't be action, action, and more action, I'm reassured that Team Ninja and Nintendo will not dissapoint.:)

in the trailer Samus's HUD said 03 2010

anyone else think thats a potential release date? I hope so. But then it would go HEAD TO HEAD with God of War 3. So maybe not a wise move.

i hope to have this beautiful looking mash up of 3D side scrolling and first person shooting in mah handz asap
