NOTHING in gaming I am looking forward to more than.............. THIS

Team Ninja + Nintendo = Metroid another GOTG

The combination of these two developers will be deadly, maybe even greater than Nintendo and Rare.

They make up for eachothers shortcomings very nicely.

-But please don't say that. Combo better than Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Conker, and Banjo. ALL which have scored above 9.5 :?

- That being siad, I was extremely excited to see this. Image what the reception would have been if it were ZELDA insted :o.

Everyone would be lost as hell.

[QUOTE="princeofshapeir"] Maybe it's just me, but I prefer cutscenes to actual elements in the game that tell the story. That's not to say that I don't want the story to be told in the actual game - it's just that cutscenes are needed too to make a story-driven game.princeofshapeir

[QUOTE="princeofshapeir"][QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"] You don't even need a cutscene to tell a story. Fans would feel alienated though.AAllxxjjnn

To be honest both could be a part of a game. I think of SH 1 or 2the main story it self was cutscenes,but if you wanted to get even deeper and even learn some side stuff you had to read some of the writing in the game.

I deal with them, but i don't like them. A lot of developers are moving away from cutscenes, trying to find new and unique ways to move the narrative forward. They want to deliver a story without removing the player from the game.AAllxxjjnn

Reading a well written log > a cutscene. Reading lots of well written logs > everything :oIronBass

I gotta disagree reading about something is nothing in comparrison to seeing things in action such as a knife fight between Leon Kennedy and Krauser.Serraph105

And there are other ones in the game that aren't QTE, and still are awesome.princeofshapeir

It was still a cutscene. And there are other ones in the game that aren't QTE, and still are awesome.princeofshapeir

I'm a huge Prime fan.

I'm a bit let down about this new entry in the series (but I'm also happy to hear that Retro is working on something else, so at least we'll get another game in the series.) The last Ninja Gaiden was a bit of a let down, and Team Ninja WITHOUT Itagaki is a shadow of its former self. This game looks to be all action rather than the adventure/exploration that defined the Retro entries, I'm also worried that it'll have all the frustrating camera issues that sometimes worked their way into Ninja Gaiden.

Metroid made by Team Ninja WITHOUT Itagaki rather than by Retro? No thanks, I'll hold out to see what Retro is working on instead.

Logs (Metroid Prime series, Bioshock), Interactive dialogue -thanks FFox- (Mass Effect, Fallout) Quick Time Events (Resident Evil 4/5, GoW series). More and more devs are going beyond the standard cutscenes.IronBass

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if there are two cinematic cutscenes in the game, one at the beginning and one at the end. I think we're getting ahead of ourselves.

I'd rather 9 hours of well made cutscenes with VA ala MGS than hours upon hours of tedious scanning with little or no VAIm_single

[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"]Hopefully they don't make Link talk, like how Team Ninja is making Samus talk. :|IronBass

i don't think so. i think that a lot of the games for the ps3 and xbox 360 look better then that. xscott1018

Could turn out awesome, and it could turn out wierd. We'll have to wait and see for this one.

I personally think Samus should talk. I agree that Link should never talk but I think Samus should so long as its not Phillips CDI bad. I don't see why people are argueing over cutscenes and scanning. Maybe both should be put in and Nintendo is also involved si I'm sure they no what there doing. The only skepticism I have is the camara and whether Team Ninja is writing the story or if Nintendo is writing it.

As for Retro, I would prefer if they do something new. Also, as much as I think Metroid Other M is going to be great, I also love the Prime series to the pint that metroid Prime was my favorite game last gen. Prime turned out well and they were an unknown developer. My point is lets just wait before we jump to conclusions to a game that was just annouced yesterday.

Oh nintendo, when will you ever stop constantly milking your franchises. We need some new ip's, please!

Ever play Metroid: Fusion (made by Nintendo R&D1, the same team who has made every single other Metroid that isn't a Prime)?foxhound_fox

I did.

But my complaint was more foucsed on the cheesey dialogue and the weak voice-acting.

Metroid Fusion was win. But that's because I was able to "read" her. A

fter so many games with a silent protagonist, I have "how would she sound like" in my head.

Actually listening to her... is fail.

Yeah, I agree. How is voice acting in a Nintendo video game a bad thing?ChrisSpartan117

Everything about this game screams "generic Japanese action adventure game" to me.supercubedude64

Like the part about it being Metroid, or the part about it being Nintendo and Team Ninja, or what?

SMG2 looks like an expansion pack.

Gamer556

people will always be ***ing and moaning no matter what nintendo does it seems :roll:

Even if what they are doing is making a sequel to one of the best platformers in existence

I never expected Metroid to go this way :O

Looks frickin' awesome!

I think it will be a very good title but Super Mario Galaxy 2 looks outstanding.

Then you cannot adapt to the times. She hasn't been a silent protagonist since Super Metroid (she talked in first person at the beginning of the game about the developments between Metroid 2 and Metroid 3).foxhound_fox

I don't mind listening to her. Just that I expect dialogues and voice-acting on par with the character.

Samus is one of the only characters in Nintendo's repertoire that has the potential to be so much more than just a blank slate for players to see themselves as. She is nothing like Gordan Freeman... she is a character with a defined personality... and if Nitnendo chooses to change her, then you have to accept it as canon. I enjoyed Fusion more than any other Metroid game when it came to plot and narrative... because there actually was one.foxhound_fox

Agreed. Fusion's plot was excellent.

I can bet you that every single Zelda fan who cried about Twilight Princess being too similar to Ocarina of Time will cry when the next Zelda is so different from the Zelda formula that it doesn't resemble it at all.foxhound_fox

Change is not the problem. Majora's Mask was a good example of change. Another M, so far at least, doesn't. I hope I'm wrong. And btw. TP was awesome. I wouldn't mind a Majora's Mask 2, though.

Nintendo 2010 looks Amzing SMG2, new Zelda, Metroid other M.

My gut was telling me it was going to be Wii Fit Plus. I am dissappoint.

This will be potentially one of the best games for the next decade or longer.

I am very stoked about this game... finally Metroid is back in 3rd person!!! (where it belongs IMO)

[QUOTE="mdisen2"]

It looks like Super Metroid 3D, same asthetic. I was happy to hear the creator of both Metroid Fusion and Super Metroid is working on this, and that the story would bridge the two games.

screechmario

Also with Team Ninja on the job you can bet the combat engine will be deep.

My god this is gonna be awesome.

I'm with you guys on this one. This game looks far more like Super Metroid than the prime series tries to be. The dash attack returns!! That used to be a super metroid exclusive!
