  Oh no! Not a Neo-Zelda open world type of game.

    yeah I dunno, the bike boost animation looked a bit jank. Couple that with the empty desert and the implications for the game design and I’m officially worried about Prime 4.

    Well, it’s not like I plan on getting a Switch 2 anytime soon anyway, so there’s that.

      I wonder if that’s what “beyond” means… Like implying the (ugh) open world map design

  This doesn’t look good… I hope I am wrong but definitely not buying day one.

    Yeah, the bike section looked horribly boring.

    And even though there’s some classic 1st-person gameplay, we all know Nintendo is going to push for tons of traversal on the stupid motorcycle, which will kill the vibe for the whole game.

  I don’t care if there’s a motorcycle. I didn’t need 10 shots showcasing it from different angles. Whatever. Imagine if a trailer showed the Spider Ball for 10 shots. Boring.

  Phew im glad they showed her get off that bike Im not sure I'm confident an open world metroid would work well. But who knows, maybe it'll be a Breath of the Wild moment for the series.

    But who knows, maybe it’ll be a Breath of the Wild moment for the series.

    At least Zelda was already pretty close to open world with most of their entries. Metroidvanias don’t really work as open worlds as a genre

    • TachyonTele@piefed.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      It could. I couldn't make it, but someone could make a banging open world metroid.

      I doubt it'll be this game.

      I suspect it won’t work for them, but I think the idea that they can’t work is wrong. With a really passionate and talented team, I think it could be done very well. It’d take real innovation though, unlike BotW. BotW was innovative for LoZ, but almost everything it’d done had been done before. I would say currently the closest formula they could copy is Elden Ring, and it isn’t as much of a Metroidvania as previous more enclosed entries were.

    I’m skeptical as well but they already restarted the game once when the original development team wasn’t producing a quality game. I suspect at worst it won’t be the worst game ever but it would be subpar for a Metroid game. Nintendo is usually pretty good at taking chances and making it work. Hell, I never thought Metroid could work in 3D and they proved me wrong. I guess my main issue is that Metroid traditionally is a cramped corridor style game, the opposite of an open world.

      After Dread im skeptical Nintendo actually cares anyways. Open world Metroid on two morphballs? I'm sure corporate loved the idea.

    I miss the curated dungeon design that we lost when Zelda went open world (no the divine beasts don’t count as dungeon’s)

    source

    • TachyonTele@piefed.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The problem with the divine beasts is the entire trip to them is part of thier dungeon.
      Someday I'd like to group a bunch of temples together, add environmental art to them, and release them as proper dungeons.

      I haven't looked into modding the game yet though.

    Given I think BOTW was just fine, I’m a little worried about Metroid 4.

• RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  As soon as I saw the motorcycle, I was immediately out. This is not Metroid.

  source

  • AlexLost@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Pretty sure Nintendo is the definitive voice on what Metroid is, so I’ll take their word and not yours. They are trying something new, something every Metroid has done. I’ll wait until I e played the game before I judge it’s merits

    source

    • RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Nintendo has been wrong before. Metroid Other M and Federation Force.

    You just know the last boss or one of its forms is going to be riding either a bigger motorcycle or a car. And you’re going to have to destroy all the wheels in order to get it to stop.

    source

    • RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Nintendo absolutely could not control themselves. There are probably multiple motorcycle bossfights. At least one is definitely in the massive empty desert area.

  • Suburbanl3g3nd@lemmings.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    There’s a motorcycle in BotW and people love that game lol. What a weird take

    source

    • RealM__@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      You mean the DLC-exclusive motorcycle in BotW, that released 9 months after the actual game, that you only unlock after completing all major dungeons, do a long quest chain, and then an additional dungeon plus a boss fight, that drains materials while you use it?

      You are comparing that DLC Bonus to an (appearent) major game design mechanic showcased in the Reveal Trailer?

      Be real dude.

      Not me, lol.

      Just because people like something doesn’t mean its good. Fortnite, League of Legends, the Disney Star Wars Sequel trilogy, etc.

  Man… this looks rough. I’m not sure what to even think. I really want to be excited for Prime 4 but none of the trailers have done it for me. Now we have this weird bike that looks awful.

  I’m happy to be wrong and will wait and see how things turn out but the faith is being tested.

  That was whelming. I recently replayed the Prime series but couldn’t remember why I had no memory of playing Prime 3. I had fun with 1 and 2, but gave up on 3 after the first few wii-mote gimmicks and getting orders from the marines or something.

  • XiberKernel@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    There was a prime 3? After reading your post, I recall 1 and 2. 3 escapes me, although I must have completed it…

• XiberKernel@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I can wait to play this on PC. I’m due for a dread replay though, perhaps after I complete Silksong.

    Fine print at the bottom says it’s footage from Switch 2 version, which there’d be no need to specify if it was an exclusive.

  I love Metroid games ever since I heard they were named after the Metroidvania genre of games

  source

  • Iunnrais@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Did you mistype, employ sarcasm, or were you not aware that the genre is named after Metroid, not the other way around? Metroidvania— games employing similar experiences to Metroid and some of the more notable Castlevania games.
