end of the 4.5 tatami age

I'm curious if this game will contain any of the secret things in it that super metroid had where the game didn't explicitly tell you you could do stuff but you could learn how to do it from the animals or however the hell you were intended to find out about the crystal flash move. Is there anything in super metroid that hints that crystal flash is a thing that exists?

the back of the manual says to watch the demo after the title screen for hints about secret techniques so maybe there. i dunno though

If you sit at the title screen a demo play thing starts up that shows it being used at one point, as well as a lot of other things that aren't explicitly said.

What made Super Metroid so good was that it knew when to shut the gently caress up and let you play

lol why and how the gently caress would they do that.

I suspect Nintendo brought out Metroid in full force because AM3R got so much hype that they think the IP might have more legs than they suspected. If their version of M2 flops hard, they will get might nervous about MP4, which was never a huge seller to begin with. Cancelling would be dumb as hell but it's also Nintendo. Still, more likely is they'll dial it back and just put in enough resources to get it working to the point where the die hards will claim it's great and everyone else is just a hater that's playing it wrong.

Hey man, I dig. I think people who play a game at release and then burst into the room claiming it's GotY are nuts, I'm just giving some initial impressions. And not for nothing but it sounds like Bungie's learned a lot from the turgid launch of Destiny so they reworked the engine to allow quicker changes and hired two more studios to just work on mission content. But I know the true test of this kind of game is its longevity, so take everything I saw with a huge pinch of salt until November or so.

as long as they don't rework the economy again I'd probably jump back on by December, since I'd guess that's when the first expansive thing happens. Did not know they had extra studios to do content now so that's a plus. Not having Warlocks with self-rez anymore is already going to be a big change for everything.

By "can't get any other way" you're ignoring the ones that drop with every full exp bar after 20? Or are they different Bright Engrams?

This video was what made me hopeful about it:

It looks like 2D metroid.

The only thing that bothers me is the running animation, but everything else about it looks cool. It looks like its own thing, rather than a Super Metroid fan mod like AM2R was.

Yes.

I was honestly annoyed because I saw a headline that said "AMIIBO NOT NEEDED FIR HARD MODE" and when I actually clicked the article it mentioned that for hard mode all you needed to do was beat the game...but for the even harder fusion mode you needed an Amiibo so thanks for click baiting me with no news I guess

You can fake amiibos with NFC hacking tools but that's an awfully long way to go just to cheat at a single player game.

QTEs should have the other nearby buttons greyed out or made translucent or something so the player gets another layer of information on where the button they should be pressing is. It should have the button's color, shape or letter, and position.

Its also the only game/series in the genre to really nail sense of progression and actually make backtracking fun. As great as they are in their own ways, Hollow Knight and Ori and the modern games don't scratch that same itch.
