I’m counting down the hours until it drops by completing Chapter 1 for the first time.
Definitely gonna help the immersion, I feel.
Hope you have fun, pal.
You playing DR Chapter 1 for the first time THEN Chapter 2 right after is definitly gonna give you a experience few peoples will be able to have.
Samus Returns was fun as **** so I'm very confident in Mercury Steam's ability to create top notch Metroid games.
SR, while a very fun game for me, definitly did feel like a "playground" of sort, like MS trying to figure out how to make a Metroid game on the 3DS, try to introduce new ideas for future games & still trying to be a more or less faithful remake to Metroid 2.
They more or less succeeded in some areas, but if Dread is any indication, they took the feedback - both positive & negative - SR had, and worked hard in the lab to give us what could
possibly be the game Metroid as a franchise needed after all those dark years.
Of course, 'games not out yet, but every trailers & new info basically make the game look better & better, and hey, even Sakomoto seem to have learned some of his lessons after all those years (he & few others Nintendo devs are working on Dread to a extent). If Dread truly become one of the best game in the franchise, my worries that Other M would forever taint the franchise kinda like 06 was to Sonic will be thankfully not come true. (mind you not one is gonna forget Other M any time soon, but we at least we won't have to bring up as often as before)
