Cool, they titled it appropriately.

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

Oh no! Not a Neo-Zelda open world type of game.
RealM__@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
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.

As soon as I saw the motorcycle, I was immediately out. This is not Metroid.
tkohldesac@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
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.
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Nintendo absolutely could not control themselves. There are probably multiple motorcycle bossfights. At least one is definitely in the massive empty desert area.
AlexLost@lemmy.world 14 hours 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
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Nintendo has been wrong before. Metroid Other M and Federation Force.
TachyonTele@piefed.social 14 hours ago
Nintendo hasn't made a Metroid game in decades.

There’s a motorcycle in BotW and people love that game lol. What a weird take
RealM__@lemmy.world 1 hour 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.
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Not me, lol.
Just because people like something doesn’t mean its good. Fortnite, League of Legends, the Disney Star Wars Sequel trilogy, etc.

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

This doesn’t look good… I hope I am wrong but definitely not buying day one.
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 12 hours ago
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.
TachyonTele@piefed.social 19 hours ago
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
Cethin@lemmy.zip 52 minutes ago
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.
TachyonTele@piefed.social 12 hours ago
It could. I couldn't make it, but someone could make a banging open world metroid.
I doubt it'll be this game.
jacksilver@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Given I think BOTW was just fine, I’m a little worried about Metroid 4.
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 hours ago
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.
TachyonTele@piefed.social 15 hours ago
After Dread im skeptical Nintendo actually cares anyways. Open world Metroid on two morphballs? I'm sure corporate loved the idea.
morphballganon@mtgzone.com 16 hours ago
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.

Fuck, switch 2 only?
TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
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.
simple@piefed.social 15 hours ago
It's coming to Switch 1 too
QuantumStorm@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Oh good, I was watching on my phone and must have not seen it.
TachyonTele@piefed.social 15 hours ago
PC version will be out before the Switch versions, don't worry.
