I'm surprised they let Sakamoto out of the pit they locked him in after Metroid Other M.
I'd imagine that Nintendo told him, in no uncertain terms, to cut the waifu Samus poo poo out.

seriously? people should ignore things that a developer has made in the past that might inform what their future products might be right? seriously?

we should hate on Death Stranding because Hideo Kojima worked on that poo poo, right?

In any case, I'm looking at the footage and I'm not seeing anything objectionable. It has the Metroid style, it updated the mechanics, it plays just like Metroid.

That says more than just a developer name.

Also, this is going to have a lot of unfortunate comparisons with AM2R I'm thinking.

Fire whoever hired Mercury Steam. I was so excited about this surprise announcement, but holy poo poo no wonder they saved it for after the showcase. What a bland looking thing.

I mean it looks like Metroid and its not like MercurySteam are an awful developer, the CV 3ds games were decent action games, with Nintendo guiding Metroid should be good

what? people like kojima (not me personally) and yes that gives people faith in Death Stranding

This remake looks clunky and ugly to me, but that's my impression of it

Kojima was a producer on the Lords of Shadow. That's the reason for the comparison to Mercury Steam.

I just don't think that one series should be a noose around this game's neck, especially when separated by so any years.

It sounds a lot like he's supervising in name only and the studio's actually doing everything on their own initiative.

They're not great. LoS2 basically killed Castlevania and LoS1 is an average God of War clone.

if they said they're developing a new metroid with the axiom verge dev and showed nothing at all but a splash image i'd be creaming my pants


my excitement went from 3 seeing the trailer, to a 5 hearing that the devs had done castlevania, to a 2 hearing that the castlevania they did was LOS and not any of the DS ones

now I'm planted firmly in "I'll believe it's good when it releases" territory
