Metroid Prime 3 is starting to look damn good

I don't think it'll reach the heights of Mario Galaxy, Mass Effect or Bioshoock in terms of quality. But this game is starting to look amazing. Just to recap (for those who don't know already)

• Great Graphics (noticeably better than the GC games)
• Control system that supposedly rivals the PC/Mouse combo
• Stackable Beams
• The return of Ridley
• Ability to call in your ship for air support and as a portable savestation
• AI Temamates (Troopers and bounty hunters)
• Alien Vehicles (so far all we've seen is a huge mech)
• some of the most imaginative enemies seen in a metroid game (those steambot things)
• The ability to visit numerous planets
• The ability to enter "supercharge mode" for limited periiods of time to blow enemies away
• Different Planets
• MOTHER BRAIN

Seriously if they put kraid in there this could be one of the best games ever. I havent been this excited about a Metroid title since Metroid Prime 1

Kraid could be a lot of fun in the Prime Universe...

I only wish I had beat the first 2.

EDIT: ....ill give you a cookie

Sorry, but the things you listed don't excite me as a 360 fan.

AI Teammates?

Alien Vehicles?

Since when do great graphics mean noticably better than a last gen game?

Wii is B/C buy them and complete them. It can be quite difficult though (especially the second one). Meta Ridley is nails

Looks good?

or sounds good?

Because it definitly doesn't look good.

They might as well just remade MP2

add wiggly controls to save some dev time.

the games barely have stories to them, just enough to advance you through the game but not enough where you will get lost if you play them out of order...

[/spoiler] In the end of MP, you see a dark figure which you will later (MP2) recognize as Dark Samus. Dark Samus is a Samus copy made of Phazon, an element which is highly radioactive and poisonous. How did Dark Samus copy Samu's DNA, I have no idea, maybe they said it in a log but I didn't scan it. Anyway, after 3 fights with Dark Samus you beat her, but in the end you find out that she somehow survived. That's how MP2 ended.[spoiler]

yes he could

When you see video footage of the new game and it looks better than the last game.

AI teammates are a new addition to metroid as are the vehicles (the metroid games tend to focus more on Samus's solitary experiences and the environments do not allow for such additions). The introduction of multiple planets allows for them.

I dont think you could get excited for this game given your halo avatar, it'll probably be a little too hard for you and more attractive to older gamers who played the originals.

But then again Mother Brain died and then was definately killed by the Self Destruct Sequence right? But then how did she reappear in Super Metroid.

Ridley is another mystery. Killed in Metroid, changed into Meta Ridley in Metroid Prime, Still Meta Ridley in Metroid Prime 3, and then in Super Metroid he reverts back to a fully Organic Ridley.

I am confused about the Metroid Timeline and what is canon and what is retconned. I just finished Zero Mission today and Samus went on a whole other little mission afterwards into the Space Pirate Mothership. Even funnier is that when it was all said and done the ship activated its Self Destruct Sequence. Tell me why the hell you would blow up your own Mother Ship?

If anyone can fill in the blanks I'd be very thankful.

No man, this is SW. If anything gets an AAA, it still crap! :D

It looks OK to me , and the space pirate battles look far more detailed than they used to

It looks a lot better in motion.

Don't get me wrong, I think the games gonna be good, but the things listed their don't make me think, This game is going to be good.

II-FBIsniper-II

I'd reccomend trying the original, you may find it a bit daunting coming from halo but it got GOTY here for a reason. The AI teammates will be a great addition IMO as they were one of my favourite features of Halo 1. and you know somethings good when half life copies it. Same goes for the vehicles but the vehicles in Metroid look very unique (as shown in the picture below)

Dark_Knight6

Everything does. I havent seen any walkthroughs yet where they're fighting space pirates though, the only one i've seen is where samus is fighting those steam robot things.

Is it me or... does this game seem very... halo inspired?Silenthps

Apparently the opening sequence is VERY halo inspired but it goes back to being metroid as soon as you escape the ship

Well, for Wii games right now, that's good. Shows devs are actually putting effort into games now. As for the other things, it's just new to the Prime series, so it's exciting that we'll be able to try that stuff out on the perfect shooting game controls.
