New Metroid Prime 3 details

[Crash]

news? Why do they keep teasing us with this stuff?

Tell me what's so revolutionary!!!!!!!!

MP1 was ok, never played MP2...

But what I wanna know is why does everything nowadays have to be part of a trilogy? I mean even things that don't even seem trilogy-esque...

Onimusha... Metal Gear Solid... Metroid Prime...

*scratches head*

It's not just videogames. The movies are doing it, too. The next X-men movie will probably be the last one. Batman is set to be a trilogy. And of course, we had The Matrix which was apparently conceived as a trilogy from the start.

Of course, that happens in the movies because actors sign three movie contracts as standard practice. It's happening to videogames either because they are imitating the movies or because that's how many developers figure they can put out before people get sick of the franchise.

Although on the other hand, lots of videogames go way beyond trilogies. Just look at all the big names in the PS3 lineup.

I guess trilogy works best for story telling.

You get an origin/gensis tale in the first one.

You get an explanation/purpose in the second one.

You get the final showdown/battle/goal in the last one.

Who knows.

Sort of like Shakespeare's 5 Act plays. If it works. It works.

OK. Metroid Prime was just plain OK you say? God, I hate it when people hate on Metroid Prime. Its the best game of this generation on any console, beats the living **** out of Halo, single player anyways, yet people just dont get it. I dont understand.

You could, you know, try to explain why you believe it is the best game of this generation rather than just saying they "don't get it."

You know.

The Metroid Prime series kicks too much ass.

I hope they don't use alternate dimensions in MP3... that got old fast in Echoes.

Metroid Prime was still the most surreal gaming experience of this generation though, hands down. It reminded me of playing Ocarina of Time, how there was nothing before it that it really felt like.
