Excited?? I know I am...:beat: "I have to admit it's gettin better, it's gettin better alll the time" What do you guys think? Is everyone really anticipating Prime or not really interested?
As far as Metroid goes I played Super, and thought it was decent. I also liked the style of the game. I think the concept of Prime is a good one because FPSers are pretty fast paced, and then you have the exploring aspect which should slow things down and allow the story to progress and also show off the style of the game, I know I'll buy it when it hits shelves.

Look at the toggle cross hairs to the lower left and right do you think there's more to them than just switching the cross hair on screen?

"This is a beetle" lol!
Is that 4th pic of Samus rolling into a ball? I can't wait to see how Samus transforms into the ball. Man, those screens are great! :eek:

Damn. Another example of the NIntendo Deifference.
*checks off another reason to get a GCN*
Damn this game looks beautiful. I really like the whole visor-view thing. It adds a unique touch.
*Brain explodes at overload of new info and screenshots* For god sake Nintendo, I have got exams to revise for, lol.
This game just looks better and better, it should show Halo a thing or two methinks.

Oh cool, just noticed you can see Samus's face through the visor (Screen 3).
If only Metroid Prime had a multiplayer mode :(.

K.... just wonderin .. where are you people gettin your E3 stuff this year? I know last year it was mainly IGN since it was all free.... today is the preshow day right? I know that prolly all of IGN's exclusive **** is gonna be for insider only .. so where are you gettin your screens and videos this year? I've been kinda busy with homework and stuff lately so i havent had time to look around.
Metriod looks great, i guess retro pulled together. Werent they the ones that were having all the problems and lay offs cause they werent on schedual with raven blade and stuff?
Anyway... cant wait til E3 actually starts!
EDIT: 1300 posts WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOO :D

You actually see a bit of her real face in one of the screens, cool! :D

Wow, thats wicked how you can see her face.
Ginkasa
05-21-2002, 09:36 PM
Wow man. That face thing is awesome. I'm getting this game no matter what because of that alone!
I'm sorry... I couldn't resist :D

I loved Halo , but my only MAJOR complaint was the lack of weapons available to choose from.
I think Metroid would interest me a lot more coz I played the game when I was younger, but not for long though :unsure:

Oh man!! Just saw the Metroid Prime video (http://media.nintendo.com/nintendo/contents/gamepage/gamecontent/images/e3/metroid_prime/e3_metroidprime_gcn_trailer.wmv)!!

Why is everyone making the Metroid, Halo comparance? Won't Metroid be substantially different from Halo?
Blackmane
05-22-2002, 10:30 AM
I think that Metroid will be similar but not the same as Halo. First off, you are going to be alone so therefore no teamplay. And Metroid will be a much more fastpaced game to match the speed of the SNES days...

Like comparing FF to Chrono Cross
SF to KOF

I think they keep comparing them with eachother because MP will be the first exclusive, excelent shooter.
I like the atmosphere of the game. It looks like Retro has done a great job in keeping the Metroid atmosphere intact. And I like the pic where you can see Samus (is it Samus or the new rumored girl?) face. The effect looks great.

Multi-player would kick A$$, but you have to wonder how they could do M-P? Do it as a shoot'em up (similar to Perfect Dark [ah yes the days of PD]), or make it similar to what Nintendo, I guess, is doing with Zelda on GBA and making an entirely different quest with 4 people or so? I would prefer either, since both would have yelling and cursing at each other:D*your friends that is*

What do you mean impossible? If they can have four Links they can have four Samuses.

Right on! Also couldn't there be some other characters you could play as for multiplay?? Well I mean the more options the merrier

Oh my god. IGN weren't kidding when they said you would be able to see Samus's own face inside the visor through a reflection!
Check out this movieNOW! (http://cubemovies.ign.com/cube/video/mitradoid4.mov)
This is different from the picture where you see through the visor. You actually get to see the reflection of her face near the begining of the clip.
Ginkasa
05-22-2002, 08:22 PM
I didn't see her face but as I've said before my monitor is messed up so....
:unsure:
bobcat
05-23-2002, 06:02 AM
Whoa that movie looked sick (the last one)
But I didn't c any reflections :unsure:
Shadow_Link

Bobcat, look at the video in my last post. Right at the beginning, when she blasts the rubble, you manage to see her reflected face in the visor as a result of the glare. You can't miss it!
And if you do have more trouble, do it frame by frame and you will see it as soon as the rubble has been blasted!
You can ever see her eyes move from side to side!
Shows how much attention to detail went into this game.
Ok I managed to see Samus' face in the video, I took some screenshots, here take a look.
This shot you can see her face and her looking forwards:
And here you can see her face again looking to the side this time:
Ok firstly I apoligise for the multiple post but hey I have stuff to say so :p
After analysing that video that Shadow_Link posted a link to I have been able to determine that in the video Samus is on a spacecraft, you can see when she downloads the map of the spacecraft from a computer after rolling through a tunnle.
Also as for those 'Crosshairs' in the bottom left corner I have been able to determine that one at least is a visor, she changes to it and is says 'Scan Visor' in the corner. Just before she scans a computer terminal. Then this orange hologram appears, (which she has to step into, to activate an elevator).
Here's the shot showing that one of the crosshairs is a Scan Visor:

Calm down Ric... ;)
If you would have read GameSpot's hands-on you would have found out too. :D
Well except for the shiplevel thing.
And that DOES look cool! :D
Shadow_Link
05-23-2002, 12:02 PM
Ric, you shouldn't be sorry for the double post... You should be sorry for the triple post :D.
Back to topic. This game oozes with class! I can't wait to get my grubby mits on it!

Sheesh, if you're all so anxious to see a screen of Samus' face reflected in her visor, why didn't you just use the IGN one? If you have Insider, you are able to post their screenshots wherever you want. I know some people in this topic have Insider. Anyway...

Ok sorry for taking an interest in the game, I dont read every bloody press release and look at every screenshot, I like things to surprise me as they have viewing this video.
And on that note I spotted another Visor Function, the 'Combat Visor' which I was going to post the screenshot of. Anyway.
I have also noticed the multiple gun function Samus has, in the attachment it can quite clearly be seen in 'Ice Beam' mode:

By the way Xantar, that's a different example :D.
