The Metroid: Other M Thread - GS - 8.5, IGN 8.5, NP 8.5, Etc!

I don't think I own any games where I actually have a weapon, but not allowed to use it because the guy on the other line says, "Please hold and listen to elevator music on the way."wiifan001

[QUOTE="wiifan001"]This is going to be a weird Metroid game. The controls are totally not going to feel natural...not at first at least switching from first to third perspective and what not.

Whats the difference between that and not having an item until later in the game. This is the same problem people had with Prince of Persia 2008. "You can't die, Elika saves you" -- No, you can 'die', it's just a different animation. Instead of showing you the game over screen, it shows Elika's hand saving the Prince.

Same thing here. Instead of finding items later on in the game, someone authorizes it for you to use. Whats the problem here?

I was absolutely floored by that and the fact that people still say you don't die is amazing. I really had to wonder, whats wrong with people, does the internet sap people of all forms of common sense lol. Of course you died, you die and go back to your last checkpoint, nothing new there. It was just facepalm worthy seeing people crying about, essentially not having a game over screen :P Its the same deal here wiifan, whether they use the system they have in this game, or they say that Hyper Beam on Zebes burned out all her suit abilities or she tripped coming out of her shipped and lost all her upgrades down a drain, it all leads to the same Metroid formula.

I know, I don't get it either lol. I guess people just get too used to something, then when it's different they kind of get upset.

And yes WiiFan, the game is still far off.However, it gives me enough time for me to finish playing Metroid Prime 3: Corruption -- Then I'll have played all three games finally, back to back. Yay :). I basically beat Metroid: Zero Mission, Metroid: Fusion, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and now am working on Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, in the last four months or so. Fun stuff lol.

13 Things You Should Know About Other M

Wow, sounds really good. I'm more excited now :).

The main theme music is online. HERE

MOAR!

I don't know how that guy got it -- but it sounds so good.

Haziqonfire

I love that song. I still think the Prime and Echoes themes are better, but I am sure the tune will grow on me as I advance through the game.

Tonight On GameTrailers TV (12:30 EST on SpikeTV) theres a debut of a new Other M Trailer.Excited! More footage is always good lol.

they have the review copy already? AWESOME!

notes: 1- they don't like adam **** new abilities system either :P

2-they also noticed samus likes to go rebel and give a thumbs down to the mission briefings. i have to say it's one of the things i'm most curious about. WTF samus?

Yeah, they seem overall positive about it :P.

I just want to play it already.

"Samus starts the game with all of her powers unlocked, but unlike other games, she doesn't actually lose them. Instead, in a plot twist I still can't wrap my brain around, one of her comrades locks most of the powers on her suit for the safety of the others around her and the ship. They can only be reactivated when this particular character gives the order."

Its funny they list the exact reason why its that way and then say they cant understand it lol. She works alone usually, so she can cut lose, now she is around others and in a more delicate enviroment; in reality this is probably the most sensible reasoning for her not having all her abilities at the start of the game that they have ever come up with. Usually its just "This is the way it is, deal with it" yet people seem to have a firmer grasp of that, than this, its... strange.

Not sure if anyone's seen this or posted it yet, just saw it on GoNintendo so I thought I'd share it.

Japanese Metroid: Other M voice over trailer gets an English Dub. Link here,

http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=133198

It starts to show Metroid: Other M around 4:48. I like Samus's voice acting, works pretty well for her character.

That trailer was great -- but the snickering from people in the video was annoying. Samus has great voice work, especially for the emotion they were trying to go for. Damn good stuff.

Have to say, at first the voice work didn't sound too hot. It seems as time went on though it got a lot better. Or maybe it just grew on me :P

I think they nailed the voice work. It's what I would expect of Samus, almost emotionless and cold, considering what she's been through. I just can't wait, especially after reading the Iwata Asks, it sounds like Project M really is excited about this game and thought of the long-time Metroid fans.

So I have a great idea. We should totally do some Metroid trivia. I'll start with a random question. What is SR388? :P.

You are correct.

My next question is - Who killed Samus' parents?

[QUOTE="AmayaPapaya"]

[QUOTE="JordanElek"] Metroid homeworld. That was easy so I'll do another easy one. Who created Samus's suit?Haziqonfire

That would be Ridley, right?

What is Samus' registration number (from Prime 3)?

I'm a nerd and I actually know this lol.

What did the Chozo do to Samus as a child?

Holy **** at that trailer :|.

Holy BLEEP!!

I thought it was really good, wish it was a bit longer though.

Looks like there's a lot of clever ways to use the bombs, uncovering secret passages, opening up pathways.

Yes, that's right too.

What movies are the Metroid games heavily influenced by?

There was an exclusive new trailer on GTTV on Spike about 25 minutes ago.

That was amazing! Too bad I won't be able to get this on launch. I'm going to have to wait till later.

Is anyone else doing a total media blackout at this point? I think the last bit of media I looked at was the gameplay trailer that showed what looked like shinesparking. I'd rather have as many "this is awesome" moments while playing the game rather than having those moments spread out over the months before release. If I see too much, the game will have fewer "this is awesome" moments and more "oh this is that awesome part that I saw before" moments. The former are more satisfying..

Yea I was thinking about doing the same thing. I did the same with SMG2, only to have it ruined by the GS video review :P

Lesson learned.

He does that? Like in what review lol

Well I will say Nintendo is not really relying on taking the biggest moments of the game and putting them in the trailer to feed hype. They are mostly just basic gameplay, especially now with a bigger emphasis on showing that the game is in fact a Metroid game with exploration. So their not really spoiling anything.

What is the name of Samus' home planet?

I think SR38 or something like that. Nintendo is usually safe with their trailers. However the SMG2 stuff was awful. Every new video was like, SPOILER ALERT! I like the guy at Retro Studios (Tenabe?). He said he purposely hides a lot of info from the public until the game releases so gamers can experience it for themselves rather than have it spoiled.

He does that? Like in what review lolAmayaPapaya

[QUOTE="AmayaPapaya"]He does that? Like in what review lolJordanElek

Really? I usually like his reviews. I'll take a look at his other ones.

I saw the trailer and it ended and I was that's it. I want more. I hope to have the time to play on it.

trailer was freaking awesome
