Metroid prime 3 has NO ONLINE

C'mon now.
I mean, I would expect this kind of stuff from karicha or whatnot, but Jandurin?

Shrug.  I'm nothing if not honest.  And I've railed against MP3 being online since August of last year, when I still thought it was a launch title.

Of course you are the pinacle of logic, going to this kind of ad hominum attack to defend something which, once again, DOESN'T HAVE A SOURCE.

Yep, that's some critical thinkin' right there.

Metroid Prime Hunters.

StealthSting

that's the exception not the rule. one could say Splinter cell is also classified as an action adventure game yet it's got online.

Hell MGS3 has online, is it this feature that will make or break MGS4? Is it THE feature that I'm must looking forward to see in MGS4? Quite frankly at this point in time the idea of online on MGS4 only crossed my mind...... At this point in time :lol:

Thank you sir for another excellent example ;) 

First of all, we don't even know what this means.

Second, this thread has some of the lamest damage control I've ever seen.
"We wouldn't online for Metroid anyways"?


C'mon now.

Disappointed.


And even if you use the lame excuse of "Metroid is a single player experience", what would be so hard to have both single player and online multiplayer, even if the online multiplayer is like Hunters. Doesn't take away from the single player campaign being a great Metroid adventure.


Seriously. C'mon.

There's not even proof that there will be no online yet.
And it just makes this damage control even more pathetic.

DireToad

Why is it damage control? Seriously, only at this gen would it be considered damage control for a series that never relied on Online to be so important for the said series in the first place.

This really impresses me, specially when you talk about MP I mean, if it were Starcraft or the Warcraft series or hell I could be here all day but Metroid? Come on. 

Its official, nobody can complain about the Halo 3 Beta graphics.

Good.  Keep the multiplayer for Brawl.Jandurin

There isn't really anything you could do online in MP3.  As for the graphics?  I actually do see a difference between the first 2, and MP3.  MP3 looks worse.  But not really.  You're just posting resized screenshots, or ones that show the most clutter.

I have always enjoyed the adventuring and the sense of being all alone. I have played a little bit of Hunters and have found the singleplayer does not meet the same quality as the other two Prime games. It feels... lesser. That is just me though.foxhound_fox

To the topic creator: Where is the source???

 

All I see are information that you claim they are official and 5 bad quality pics. Even the first pics from Metroid are better quality thatn that.

 

Also, can you explain how no big site has these pics except YOU in your JUNK directory of your "site under construction?"

I was wondering when someone was going to bring this up. Even if it's a pretty safe bet that there won't be any online, there has been no official word from Nintendo except for a release date. Personally, I would wait until information comes out from the Gamer's Day event (1 hr 35 min from right now) before saying anything else that *might* make one look like an idiot.

I would LOVE for online to be announced and see the sheep change their tune.

It would be glorious.

"OH WE HAVE ONLINE NOW SO IT ROCKS. Nintendo told us its cool to have online so now we love it."

People using Metroid Prime Hunters to conclude that MP could work are mistaken.

The SP sucked.

Firstly, I don't even think that those are new screenshots.  We'd have seen an update on multiple websites if there were new screens to be found, and besides you posted some of the worse looking screens rather than the screens that really show off how great the visuals look.  Personally, I thought MP was always ahead of it's time graphically anyway, only in this case it has finally caught up with itself.  The game looks great though.

Secondly, that doesn't prove anything... there hasn't been a new update on MP3 in months, so we are still waiting for the final word on online play.  If it doesn't though, then who cares?  Metroid Prime isn't meant to be a "Halo killer", it's its own single player designed franchise.  Metroid came first.

Lastly, the developers already mentioned before that they were at the very least considering use of WiiConnect24, perhaps for DC.  Even that would be enough for me.

Metroid Prime Hunters was a great multiplayer experience, but the single player was uneventful and dull.  Therefore, if they used the extra time to add in depth online multiplayer (which I doubt that they did), then I'll be happy because I'll still know that Retro, being the intricate developers they are, still are providing a great single player game as well.

However, if they added tons of stuff to the single player adventure, then I will still be satisfied because it'll be more polished... and will build upon the single player experience Metroid fans know, love, and expect.  It's a win win situation really.

Well if this IS true....I won't be getting it.....Online Multiplayer would be the only thing going for that game......haven't finished Metroid Prime or Metroid Prime 2:Echoescoltonnaslund

But I know that the day that Nintendo announces online multiplayer for Corruption, most of the people in this thread defending the "no online option" will be like "ZOMG NINTENDO KING OF ONLINE MULTIPLAYER TCHBO!"DireToad

this has become a thread to vent against nintendo. TC has pulled this info out of his own head. Those are NOT new screens, and they are low resolution snapshots at that. For god's sake, those screens look worse than the original MP you'd have to be a blind fanboy to fall for this thread. MP3's online component, or lack thereof, has NOT been confirmed by anyone who knows anything. I would say that MP3 will likely see an online battle arena. It makes sense because of the unique array of weaponry and abilities samus has. She has missles, beams, morph bombs. The morph ball would be an awesome defensive maneuvre. You could have battles where you can't lock on and have to aim with the wiimote only. You could have enemies on the field (eg space pirates, metroids)---which would capture the MP experience much better. The game will probably have online multiplayer, or multiplayer of some kind at least. If it doesn't, that would be a shameGunSmith1_basic

Actually, those screens don't look worse, they actually look cleaner than the screens for Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2... however, like those two games, Wii and GC games screenshot terribly, just look at Rogue squadron 3. Heck, the RE4 GC screens look butt ugly but we know how that game looks in motion...

Same thing here, the games are designed to look good in motion, and not to screenshot well. The Crysis devs were talking about the difference that actually makes. That's why the dev kit screens tend to look better than actual screens, because they're designed for screenshots, while the actual games are designed to look good in motion...

Good. Keep the multiplayer for Brawl.Jandurin

That is an absoultey ridiculous thing to say.

Are Nintendo fanboys only allowed to play one online game a year?

Yes.  A fiat straight from Miyamoto to us.

Now that I think of it... Why would those small, insignificant sites get information like this before the real gaming sites, like Gamespot...

oh, yeah, There's IGN and 1up too...

I smell someone leaking old screens, just to boost their popularity...

And then there's this...

Just moved it to my gamefly que. No on-line in a shooter = no buy from me. I usually only buy an adventure or RPG when it comes to a game only having SP and rent everything else. Hopefully sales will reflect (and I don't mean by a substantial margin, and not hoping it flops) that there is some general interest in playing on-line.jdknight21

Actually Metroid is an Adventure game...  You spend 30% of the game shooting enemies, 20% shooting doors, and the other 50% walking around, exploring, morph balling, and scanning...

Why?
What's so illogical about putting two good aspects of two good games into one package?
What's so hard to grasp about Corruption having the cla55ic MP single player adventure and have some multiplayer a la Hunters packed in as well?

I don't see what's so wrong about that.DireToad

Mainly because GameSpot is generally the last place on the internet to post daily news.

Try GAF, Kotaku, MaxConsole, GoNintendo, etc...

They're new screens, they look like garbage and millions of people are wondering why the hell this game was delayed for 8 months.

Guess I got it confused seeing all the Halo 3 vs. MP3 comparison threads.  Didn't expect fans of the game to compare it to an FPS.

TBH though you might see that on SW, I can guarantee you that on the Metroid boards you'd see the ground split open and all hell will break loose. Metroid's gameplay isn't meant for online (and if it is then fragging is the wrong way to go about it).

are you sure they are new shots? it looks like i've seen them before. even if they are new, the game in motion would probably tell us more about the upgrade/nogradereyad-u

They are from the E306 trailer, they are not really new.

Yeah, I'd rather wait till it's up here in plain english on Gamespot...  And even then, they'll probably tell us how it looks in actual motion...  

That's what I'm seeing noone realizes, every game looks better in motion.  they rant about 360 and PS3 screens but ignore videos that make the screens look like chicken poo, because they do compared to the game in motion...

intresetingly, screens taken off of a TV screen do often look better than feeded shots...

It would require drastic control reconfiguiring for multiplayer making the two experiences incosistent. That us unless you want a multiplayer with a lock-on. The strafing function is also tied to the lock on. For multiplayer to feel like MPH they would need to alter the controls (not impossible, but it seems more trouble than it's worth really, might as well make two different games). I'm sure it won't take too much effort to tack on a crappy online mode like MP2's multiplayer if they really wanted, but it seems kinds pointless really.

[QUOTE="DireToad"]Why?

If they could make the single player exactly the same in either case, then whatever.  If the multiplayer could be great with single player being great, then fine.

If they added multiplayer, I would wait for the reviews to come in before purchase, I guess, whereas no multiplayer = instant purchase, because that means my single player experience will be AS great AS possible.

I don't see why people are jumping all over this. Personally I've never enjoyed online gaming, so no big deal for me if it doesn't have it. What I have noticed, and has been stated by others, is that sometimes focus on multiplayer can lead to a shorter, or less rich single player mode. Why would I miss an element (online) in a game that hasn't had it. If I enjoyed MP in the past without online, why won't I enjoy this new version?

People like to call sheep brainwashed, but I sometimes wonder if it isn't the other fanboys that have been brainwashed to think that online is the be all and end all of modern gaming. While having online could possibly enhance what will likely be a great game, not having online will not detract from it.

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"]

Sigh.

Lets set all this straight.

I am not comparing Lair to Metroid.

This guy brought up UNCHARTED and its lack of online gameplay.

I brought up Resistance.

That was ignored.

My response to the mentioning of Uncharted was that thats not a genre people expect to play multiplayer. Instead I brought up Lair and Warhawk as two games that are missing the important multiplayer and single player options people expect from those kinds of games. Proving that I am not a hypocrite and I judget all games on the same criteria.

WITH THAT SAID, Metroid is missing an online component that people expect. PERIOD.

Anything else is just fanboy craziness.

Good LORD MAN. I swear you people are just insufferable at times.

 

karicha9

I brought up a game that didn't. You made an excuse: It's an adventure game. So is MPH.

MPH isn't an adventure game...

yep so they can earn more cash. but i really dont think mp can sell as good as halo.evil_naruto08

Metroid Prime is a game for fans of the series, fans of exploration, and who like the scanning concept (which I'm obsessed about... probably has to do with my Turn based strategy addiction (MGS:PO & SRW OG FTW!)) and also, those who are fans of surreal world design, which Retro has been praised for in both MP games... (well, they did have David Kirsch working for them...)

It's not a game for everyone.

And no, I don't think it was delayed for the holiday season... uh.. August?  Rather, Retro delayed Metroid Prime before to make the game more balanced, and there was a clear improvement from the E3 version and the final version...  

We'll see once more information is avaliable about the game...
