Sorry MP3 will not beat Halo 3 even with its stupid gimmicky gameplay remote control =\

Halo 3's graphics will also be superior. Even without darkening the backgrounds and making rough surfaces shiny for no reason. :roll:

Halo 3's MP > MP3's MP if it even has multiplayer =

Story goes to Halo 3 tooGigas_Yuu

WHY would you compare Metroid to all those standard first person shooters?

The depth and complexity that is Metroid is on a completely different level.

And Doom, Quake, Unreal Tournament and Counter-Strike piss all over Metroid.

Crysis looks really great; both in gameplay and graphics. I can't believe some people are actually trying to say otherwise.

Crysis makes Metroid look like a child's game.

The Metroid Prime series is truly a quality experience. Mood, gameplay, atmosphere, graphics, exploration (it's like a Zelda/halo mix) and pacing are all wonderful. With the new controls it might make me hate other FPS controls.

Everybody the TC is a fakeboy trying to start a flame war which he succeeded in doing. He is a big 360 supporter as you can tell by his sig, and he makes a pretty bold statement which he doesn't even back up. And don't you think it is kind of weird that he hasn't posted back in this thread after his statement. And most sheep pretty much know Metroid Prime is an FPA which he calls an FPS. All he wanted to do is make sheep look bad and give people a reason to bash Metroid Prime, a critically acclaimed game.

Hate to break it to you in such a fashion that your psyche wouldn't allow you to channel the correctness of this post, but Metroid Prime, while in the FPS format, was never a FPS. It was always an adventure game, so when people think of FPSes, they think of games with hundreds of guns and 32-player online. Metroid is more like Myst than Halo.

In terms of level of interest I have about each game, I'm gonna say: Halo > Killzone > Crysis >>>> Metroid.

I hate Nintendo for being the originators of the videogame sequel. Make some new original games please... My mistake, they have Cooking Mama, right? Aren't they releasing a health food game too?? Anyone up for some Cooking Mama 2? What a joke. Nintendo is going to be the death of video game development. It's like they are afraid of change. For god's sake, the Wii is a flattened Gamecube. I liked them better when they couldn't sell a console to save their lives...

Nintendo hatred asside, I really don't see what the appeal behind Metroid is. I played Metroid Prime on my GC and couldn't get past the first couple hours because it was so damned boring. Shooting laser guns are okay but every single FPS has them. Resistance has them, Halo has them, big f'n whoop. Cool, I can rool up into a little ball and... ummm... move and stuff. sweet. Cool, I'm actually a girl under the suit... it's cool because that makes the gameplay super sexy now... Cool... uhhh... did I mention that I can roll up into a little ball and all the exciting modes of gameplay that creates?

I hope that all these stupid first party Nintendo rehashes bomb so that they will force a stale company with a gimmick of a console to do something original. Oh and in case you're wondering, motion controls sure as hell aren't original. They are just the first company to sell it with success. A few months ago, people were selling "futuristic motion controlled games" at Kiosks in malls for 15 bucks. I could play ping pong on my freaking TV! Then Nintendo got some brilliant idea to stick their logo on it and all of a sudden it was the most original thing that anyone had ever seen. What do these brilliant motion controls allow you to do? Oh you can uh... roll up into a little ball and uhh... move around with it and stuff... cool! 

So yeah, Metroid sucks.

Sorry about that rant but I hate fads with a passion... Now if you'll excuse me, I have to listen to my iPod as my furby broke and I can't find my Pokemon cards anywhere. 

MisterEngilsh
You say you hate Nintendo because they don't make original games, yet you are most interested in Halo, which is one of the most unoriginal games imaginable.

Metroid Prime 3 is a first person adventure,so thus,it cannot destroy every first person shooter this year,as it is not a first person shooter.

MP2's score deserved to be in the 7's. One of the most dissapointing games I have played.

I have to agree. I adored Metroid Prime, but I couldn't even finish Echoes. I got halfway through the game and I was like, "What the heck? Is this even from the same developer?"

i have the gamecube and i never thought of getting any of MP games.....i think it didnt get me into it cuz of this FPA thing..

and TC gives some crappy reasons...cause past mp games was AAA?...halo1,2 was AAA.. and MP graphics is the best graphic on wii?? ok...but cant be on the level in graphics with the other games ......and crysis  from what i have seen...looks great ...and for killzone2 i dont know maybe it will be great maybe not.

MMetroid prime 3 will be better than all of those games (Specially Halo 3) even if it doesn't have the state-ofthe art graphics  that Halo has, The thing is that it's not baout the graphics it's about the gameplay that makes you fell closer to the action.

Considering that the MP series has deeper, more involved gameplay than pretty much all FPS games (especially ones like Doom and UT), if anything, I'd say the opposite were true.

Metroid Prime 3 will destroy all these game in gameplay because of past metroid prime games and theyve consistently been AAA , it will also use the wiis controller, halo 3 will have great gameplay also but will not live up to 360 current graphics, killzone 2 dont make me laugh, and crysis that game only has graphics weres the gameplay.

first of all...stop with FPA nonsense, MP isn't adventure game. Second...MP might be deeper than Halo or Doom, but compared to stuff like SWAT4, SystemShock, Deus Ex, STALKEr and others it's quite shallow.

To compare MP3 with Halo 3, Killzone 2 and Crysis is incredibly stupid. I wouldn't recommend to question a game's gameplay without trying it, either (Crysis). Litchie
It isn't really. Alot of people prefer Metroid to halo and Crysis/Killzone are nonentities

[QUOTE="GunSmith1_basic"]Metroid prime gunplay is far from shallow.  You have to know when to lock and when not to.  You have to prioritize which enemies to kill at which time, since they often surprise you or come at you in groups.  You can use different visors and weapons for different situations.  The lock on feature of this latest MP, and most FPSes, which is actually a cop out, will be replaced largely by the wiimote, which rewards skillful and fast-paced shooting.TOAO_Cyrus1

 

The Wii has yet to prove it can do a real FPS. COD3, Read Steal, and MOH: Vangard have all had terrible controlls. MP3 will still have lock on.

:roll: someone who knows nothing

red steel had good controls :|

cod set a good standarad on wii but grapchis were so bad NO ONE BOUGHT IT

 

so before you use your big mouth go play it first.

Myst is FPA, MP (and Zelda) are not adventure games. They are action-adventure. Totally diffrent genre from adventure. Please avoid this mistake in the future, because I'm too big adventure genre fan to ignore posts like yours :) 

and if they are hybrids then why comparing them to MP is apple to oranges? What's more if that's the case why compare MP to UT3 and then brag about it's depth?

Fakeboy or not, the thread starter is not that far-removed from the truth. MP - 9.7 MP2 - 9.1, thats two AAA games and one GOTY, with two GOTY nominations...people seem to have short term memories.

We confuse this for a shooter only because its in first person and the weapons are all ranged. When playing other shooters, not just the first person kind, we have to realize that there really isn't any platforming/exploring involved, and a large part of Metroid Prime is spent doing that. It is first person, yes. It has FPS-like action yes. But it is an adventure game before its a finger-twitching shooter.

and if they are hybrids then why comparing them to MP is apple to oranges? What's more if that's the case why compare MP to UT3 and then brag about it's depth? 

Sorry, I wasn't trying to get into a battle of semantics with you; when I said adventure, I wasn't ruling out it being action-adventure, I was simply stating it wasn't just a shooter. But I'm glad I have you here as my editor to point these things out. ;)

Also, my point was that Metroid Prime isn't a typical shooter, so comparing it to FPS (like I was) is comparing apples to oranges. The post was written a little confusingly, I know, but what I was trying to say was that Deus Ex and games like that don't figure into this conversation, since I was arguing against FPS, not against titles that branch off from the genre. The point I'm trying to make is that (for example) when Goldeneye came out for the N64, you could make an argument for it being more than "just an FPS", as there were different objectives you had to complete in each mission. Nowadays the typical FPS is all about shooting (just look at Halo; I love the series, but the gameplay itself is pretty standard, albeit refined), which is why I'm arguing the statement that MP is a "child's game" compared to the typical FPS. It may not be quite as epic as Deus Ex, but it's on a different level of complexity than Doom, and Halo, and games of that mold. Why "brag about its depth"? I wasn't; I was merely responding to previous posts which attacked Metroid Prime's complexity by comparing it to FPS games.

look at topic title than tc name...

and this is FAKEBOY

 

accodring to some sheep its going more inline with fps on wii than what it was when it was fpa

but what do gamespot and ign say it is?

Ign calls it - Genre:Adventure

gamespot calls it - Genre: Sci-Fi First-Person Shooter

:? which is it

And Zelda is a RPG like Final Fantasy, Nintendo said so themselves. But then again, in normal terms all games are RPGs because you play someone your not. :|

We confuse this for a shooter only because its in first person and the weapons are all ranged. When playing other shooters, not just the first person kind, we have to realize that there really isn't any platforming/exploring involved, and a large part of Metroid Prime is spent doing that. It is first person, yes. It has FPS-like action yes. But it is an adventure game before its a finger-twitching shooter.

 

just because a game has some exploration and few basic puzzles mixed with platorming doesn't mean it's an adventure game. MP is ten times more similiar to FPS than to adventure game/.

Metroid Prime 3 will destroy all these game in gameplay because of past metroid prime games and theyve consistently been AAA , it will also use the wiis controller, halo 3 will have great gameplay also but will not live up to 360 current graphics, killzone 2 dont make me laugh, and crysis that game only has graphics weres the gameplay.

I was really excited about playing MP3 on-line.  I haven't been reading up on it, but I was thinking, if this game supports the GC controller are people really going to be using the Wii-mote on-line?  I just haven't found the Wii-mote as fast and as responsive as a regular console controller and there seems like there is going to be that divide.  Which doesn't interest me at all.  Of course if I'm wrong and you can only use the Wii-mote then I'm interested, but it's too close to Halo 3 for me.  So this will probably be an x-mas gift from the girlfriend when I get it because my interest lies elsewhere this holiday season in terms of gaming.

Just because it has some shooting and a few bosses mixed in doesn't mean its a FPS either. See how the logic fails?

It does not have some, or few, it has many. Take a look at it this way: when MP was 2D, was it a shooter? Perhaps a better question would be was it anything like Contra, or Metal Slug, both of which are shooters? The answer is no. MP is more of an adventure game. If you read a certain post above this one, someone explains how its actually an action-adventure (that gets even more into semantics).

My logic is flawless. I never wrote MP is FPS, I just wrote it's not an adventure game and that much is true. MP is simply action-adventure, preety typical one(when it comes to proportions of action to adventure elements). that's exacly what MP is: action-adventure. So please...don't call it adventure, because it makes even less sense than calling it FPS.Â
