Three slick new Metroid Other M videos!

Sweet Game Preview - This gives a great overview of the games direction, plot, pacing and gameplay. It's chock full of short but sweet info.

Super Niftly Interactive Trailer - Quick but this is a neat way to get an idea of how switching to first person will feel in the heat of the action. As I suspected it seems like it will work great!

Sweet Action Trailer - What I really like about this video is that it show off tons of environments and puzzle concepts as well as the action. Quelling the concern many people had that the game would feel claustrophobic and confined to only mundane space ship hallways. There is obviously LOTS to see in Other M!

Enjoy and discuss everybody!

Daaaamn.

What's there to discuss other than that this game can't come out fast enough? :P

The concern that I have with the first person perspective has still not been addressed though. What if I need to dodge while firing missles? This clip shows how seamless the transition is (which was never in doubt) but no evasive action was needed as the enemies did not fire off projectiles. What happens when they do and you are stuck motionless?

Any Spoiler warning with the vids?

EDIT: I re-read what you said, and it turns out, I have seen all of these videos before..

I'm glad this game is coming out soon, I don't think I can wait much longer.

Well then you get the **** out of first-person mode and dodge. :P

awesome, the fact that i see samus moving so fast feels new to me :P , ive been playing the primes for too long. cant wait to get this game later on.

now I understand how do you change from 3 person to 1 person. Cool

The game looks like it could have been great if they didn't kill the control scheme. Maybe a little heavy on the cinematics as well, but I could have gotten over that. I don't think I can get over the controls.psychobrew

This, really how easy is it to bash something before you even try it. Dang

LoL. Give me the $50 I need to try it out first. It's a catch 22 so I have to go with my gut which tells me I will find the controls annoying. I'm not willing to spend the money to figure it out.

I don't rent games. If I don't like the game, I've wasted money. If I do like the game, I've still wasted money.

The previews I've seen have all criticized the controls, and I know from my tastes in games that I won't like them either (auto aim is not for me).

If only Nintendo offered demos...

I could see if this were solely a FPS, an over the shoulder shooter like Gears of War, or even only a 2-D side scrolling platformer--then manual aiming wouldn't be bad. However, Other M is not that kind game. When you are surrounded by enemies that come at your from all sorts of angles--manual aiming would not work for this type of game. It would be too slow and frustrating.

[QUOTE="psychobrew"]

well simple answer is "you can just rent". simple answer 2 is "every single person that tried it said it feels great after less than 5 minutes of adaptation".BrunoBRS

Ewwww...I wouldn't even play it, if it were like that. To each his own though. I think this is still one of those games that worth taking a risk with, when you're against the ropes about it. After all, it's a hardcore-first party Nintendo game--that right there increases its chances of awesomeness!

Hitting the dodge button at the right time allows you to evade an attack. So you'll have to flip that wiimote sideways FAST and hit that button to dodge. Sounds intense to me.

All I can say is: do want.

Glad I pre-ordered.

EDIT: Beginning of the action trailer. Shoots a missile, then dodges the three purple blobs.

I'm not a big Metroid fan but those videos were awesome. I can't wait for this game.

this might just be my most anticipated game of the year...

I do not see much platforming gameplay anymore. Don't people like platforming anymore? If you play past Metroid games, you push the jump buttom as much as the shoot buttom. This doesn't seem be the case anymore. I love the platforming aspect of the Metroid games, so this kind of sadden me a bit. nchan

Oh quit the whining and wait to play the game. From previews, it appears there will be plenty of platforming. Trailers mostly showcase fast pace action or the juicy stuff
