Only prolly with the prime trilogy is that prime 1 and 2's particle effects look better on game cube. Don't ask me how the gently caress that happened just keep playing metroid prime cause it's loving powerful

the issue is with metroid prime 2, some of the charge beam effects are hosed up. the water distortion effects in MP1 were also removed, since in the port all 3 games are running on the Mp3 engine and mp3's water physics are more complex (it was all fuel gel and poo poo) and caused all sorts of performance issues.

but, there's neon bloom in all the right places for MP1 and both games run/load a lot better so whatevs. i just wish mp2 also got the bloom treatment

Looking back it is actually pretty funny that there were people that thought Metroid: Other M wasn't going to be complete garbage. Like, Metroid Prime is one of the best games ever made and a perfect representation of what a Metroid game was supposed to be, so obviously Sakamoto was publicly spiteful of it's success and determined to make something that was different than that.

If the next console Metroid isn't a first person adventure game like Prime then I will be very upset.

It was kind of a neat idea. It wasn't just a theare mode where you could watch cutscenes, all the scenes were edited to be shorter or make more sense and they dummied up gameplay for transition scenes. Too bad Other M was a big steaming pile of diarrhea from a buffalo's rear end. I would kill for something liek that in a metal gear game, perfectly edited gameplay with directorial intent.

Prime 1 still looks fantastic, and its because of the area aesthetics and the monster designs. Super metroid still looks great. I dont want something with insane graphics, I just want something. Anything!

quote:

Takahashi then shared some tantalizing information: "So it has been a while since we released the last one and we're having discussions internally about what we can do next. So at this point we have two different types of Metroid games. We have the Prime style of Metroid game and we have the more traditional style of Metroid game. We feel that we do need to take care of both of these styles of play. And the hope is that at some point in the near future we'll be able to share something about them."

for me it was the pirate introduction in prime 1 and the chozo ghosts. RoS is probably the least played one but it's still good. Get it for your 3ds!
