Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

[supermariopro101]

I'm hoping any Metroids after Corruption will be done in 2D, and get back to the elements that gave Metroid its feel.

I'm glad they brought back beam-stacking, and all. But part of what defined Metroid was being alone on an alien planet, with only silence and a will to survive as company. [Well there was the Green Koala Squad and that ostrich but you get my point]. Bringing the hunters into the single player will probably turn it into more of a Halo-ripoff than a true Metroid. And it's sad, because even Prime took on a Resident Evil-like undertone. Sometimes I'm against the universal sharing of ideas because it monotonizes a lot of things that once were unique.

Anyway, the new gameplay mechanics seem fresh. I was playing Prime the other day and desiring some of the vary same things I read in the interview. Like how Samus can travel to several planets in one game. And wishing I could combine my plasma with my spazer [wave]. Kinda weird huh?

Let's just hope the rule of threequels holds up this time.

I forgot what the site was called, but they are putting Metroid Prime into 2D as we speak. How they are pulling this off is beyond me and the site cannot be completely trusted I'm afraid, but it's worth a shot to look for.

As for beam-stacking, I really liked the concept because frankly what are you going to c-stick with on the wii controller, assuming the control pad will already be used for something else. I guess it's kind of the way the bricks fall into place. Plasma combined with spazer (or Murder Beam) would be pretty awesome.

It will be interesting to see what dangers Samus will face after Metroid Fusion since there will be no more Mother Brain, Kraid, or Ridley (well maybe Meta-Ridley).

I look forward to future games produced by Retro Studios. Majority of the team says they will be working on an "original" game.

metroid prime sucked the dark suit and became dark samus right ?

 

[The Great Marth]

indeed,you be correct.

 

[no. 1 smash daddy]

dark samus is awesome and better, even better than samus.

 

[Y34HDUD3!!!]

Dark Samus its a way better than Samus, but because its a game and we are supposed to beat it they make Dark Samus an idiot.

 

[Mr.GAW]

Metroid Prime 3 features a very welcomed rewards system that some have compared to achievements on Xbox Live. As you progress through the game, you earn Samus medals for accomplishing various goals, from 500 kills to beating certain enemies and scanning items. There are differently colored medals for your various successes, and you can use combos of these achievements to buy special unlockable extras -- concept art, music, storyboards, stickers and bobbleheads, and even a screenshot tool that enables you to (by pressing up on the D-Pad) snap in-game photos and send them to friends over WiiConnect24. The game also uses WiiConnect24 to let you trade friend vouchers with players you've already added to your Wii system address book. Friend vouchers can be converted into friend credits, which are also utilized -- in combination with the other medals -- to unlock the extras. Indeed, the best extras can only be purchased if you trade friend vouchers with your buddies. For the purposes of our hands-on update (and eventually our review), we traded vouchers with our friends at GameSpy, and then we converted those vouchers into friend credits to buy, for example, the screenshot tool.

Win, I say. Win.

 

[Y34HDUD3!!!]

LOL @ my english back in 2006. Can't believe I sucked so bad at it.

Anyways, this game looks like its made of pure win. I'm sure to buy it as soon as I can.

 

[WaterTails]

Win, I say. Win.

Agreed. especially the photo-snapping-and-sending to the wii message board!

More reason to buy this kick*** game, if anyone wasn't going to get it!

Also, PM me if you register me for the friend-roster-thing!

 

[Legendary Angel]

This is definitely my second favorite game I am looking forward too (Brawl is in first ) I am SO glad that they are bringing back beam stacking. Having to select beams was honestly too frustrating to have to switch constantly for doors or puzzles and was too boring because you couldn't experience using all the beams throughout all the game.

I am completely satisfied with the controls as the appear so far. Though locking is still in the game, the ability to aim with your gun without moving the screen simultaneously is an encouragement to me. But hey, you can't truly understand how it will feel until you literally play it, so.

Dark Samus MUST die!

Oh, and the new grappling beam rocks.

 

[Legolastom]

This seems to be better than i could ever have imagined (To bad i gotta wait till October to play it).

But that rewards system thing looks great! i wonder what other surprises will be hided in it.

(Unlockable multiplayer o_0)

 

[lonewolfe]

I am definitely buying this on Tuesday. After downloading the Metroid 3 Preview Channel, I was sold...

I'm amazed by the online features, I was expecting absolutely nothing ><.

With all these recent Wii titles with online features/play, I have no doubt Brawl will be online.

IGN gives Metroid Prime 3 a 9.5 out of 10!!

http://wii.ign.com/objects/748/748547.html

 

[ness4life]

Nintendo Power gave it a 10. Then again, they gave Twilight Princess a 9.5. I'll forgive them if the game is 10-worthy.

 

[Stryks]

Gametrailers gave it a 9.6, but in the process I saw many spoilers, I know hate myself...

Then again I still dont know who the last boss is, how many times u beat ridley, etc. so im good...

 

[Mr.GAW]

Actually, GT gave it a 9.6.

Silly Stryks.

 

[Stryks]

Woops my bad, how did I missed that? well point of the matter is, prime 3 is the best prime so far according to advance reviews, and since it tops mp1 which was like one of the best GC titles I ever played, in fact it was one of the best games I ever played PERIOD, I am more than excited to play it...

 

[Doggalina]

Gamespot gave it an 8.5. It's like Twilight Princess all over again!

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

stupid gamespot. and IGN gave MP1 a 9.8, so i wouldn't say they're calling this the best metroid.

 

[Stryks]

Did u even READ the review??
they say it's the best prime, but lowered the score cause of similarities to the other primes, unlike MP1 which was the 1st and thus similar to no one...

 

[TigerBlade34]

Totally picking this up this Friday or my birthday. I was expecting these awesome reviews.

 

[Wuss]

gamespot is so dumb...

I can't wait to buy it, I just have to wait till I beat RE4, don't wanna start MP3 without having beaten RE4...

 

[Sir James]

Gamespot's review is ********. They lowered the score for a lack of multiplayer! This makes no sense at all. Not all games should have online multiplayer. Nintendo has always gone for the in-depth single player experience. Gamespot should have lowered the score IF there was a multiplayer but it wasn't too great.

Gamespot is just a bunch of fanboys who hate the Wii. Let them keep giving 10's to games like Grand Theft Auto, I don't give a **** anymore. I'm sure if Samus was able to kill innocent people, shoot cops, and steal cars this game would be a perfect 10.

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

I'm sure if Samus was able to kill innocent people, shoot cops, and steal cars this game would be a perfect 10.

well said. But, hey, the games still gonna sell a ****load, and their review isn't going to change the games content and make it worse, so let's just remember that for every smart person there's ten more idiots who hate the smart person.

 

[Chill]

Who cares? It's just a number. Are you going to somehow have less fun because the game didn't get the rating you wanted it to have?

That said, I'm picking this up ASAP tommorow.

so let's just remember that for every smart person there's ten more idiots who hate the smart person.

Did you mean to type this?

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

i have no clue. It's late and i'm tired. I'm going to bed now. I just meant there's lots of idiots out there. WHo give crappy reviews .

blarg

If a major gaming website said that what you liked sucked would it take the fun away from the game? no.Would it influence some peoples decision to buy the game? Yes (But only a few).Would it show that the website is run by Gypsy lee? Yes it may well do...

To bad i have to wait till ****ing end of October just to get this game...

 

[Tallgeese*]

No online =`gay.

 

[h1roshi]

wow, im loving the great reviews this game is getting. i will definitely try to buy this game soon...peace

-hiroshi

 

[nuro]

I just don't get why a ds metroid gets online play but not this one?

The game got great reviews except from gamespot. Ever since the TP incident no one believes gamespot for reviews anymore it seems.

 

[h1roshi]

um, maybe because TP was soooooo a 10...... 8.5, WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?...peace

-hiroshi

 

[Mr.GAW]

Argh. I have to go through seven hours of not playing this game while it's out because of school.

 

[john de zelda]

Wow........im crazy for this.........Prime 3.......but don have $$$$$ =(

they must be very playing.....|o|

 

[RyuDragonKing]

I HAVE IT!!! OMG this game is epic... I can answer questions about it if anyone wants to ask...

 

[greenblob]

According to GS, the best Wii game so far is WarioWare and Metroid is even with Mercury Meltdown and Madden '07.

Anyway, this game makes me sad that I still can't find a Wii.

 

[Creo]

..I'll definitely go rent this game today. I don't exactly have the money for a buy so I got to go rent this game before it is gone..

 

[ChRed2AKrisp]

dammit, i'm in college right now and won't be back until saturday to be this(i have a preorder, and they said they could hold it).

 

[Stryks]

God I hope they bring the game today once my parents return from the US (I live in mexico XD) I just NEED metroid...

 

[cradmazy_SKAG]

this game is awesome. the control is superb. the fact that you can aim the blaster independently of your tilting movement is 10x better then prime 1 and 2.

im still on the GFS Olympus, beat the beserker boss and cannot wait to finish this game

wiimote control = WORTH THE HYPE!!!!!!!!
make sure u switch right to advanced

ive only played 2 hours and am already proficent at aiming... cant wait to be awesome at it

 

[Stryks]

Ok since now people are getting the game I advised for those who have it to please use spoiler tags, already knew about that boss so im not surpsirsed but seriously

Spoiler

DONT TELL ANYTHING WITOUTH USING THESE TAGS

 

[Sir James]

This game is truly epic. Set the control settings to advanced and prepare to play the best Wii game yet. Nintendo was right: THIS is how you make a FPS on the Wii. It really is the closest thing you're going to get to a keyboard and mouse.
