Metroid Thread - Metroid Prime 4: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Edition Anonymous 04/17/2025 (Thu) 00:06:41 Id: 97c850 No. 1104740
What are your hopes, dreams, expectations, reservations, etc.? Is it possible to live up to the hype? Will we finally be able to pilot Samus's ship? Why is Sylux such a jobber? Why are there vaginas everywhere on Viewros? <Latest gameplay trailers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b53LOjS2R4U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W9xes7BZto
>>1198533 >>1195848 >might as well say it's not dynamic lighting unless there are at least 4 bounces. No, because dynamic lighting doesnt require any bounces and typically havent had any bounces because raytracing wasnt used in games before nvidia started pushing it in 2018 with specialized hardware and software making it viable. I dont think shadows cast by dynamic lightingt are calculated with raytracing, they are simpler "fake" shadows

>>1218983 The top 6 panels are pre-rendered cgi, which is the worst thing about this game so far.

Discussing this game is a nightmare on 4chan because those retards do nothing but spam porn and instigate console wars. >hey guys, can we discuss the new metroid >SHUT THE FUCK UP, I WANNA TALK ABOUT REMODELING SAMUS' SHITHOLE >OMG LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY IT'LL MAKE NINTENDO, SNOYS BTFO The place gives me a headache.
>>1250846 >bolts Since when is Samus an Astartes?
>>1355051 You're preaching to the choir, why do you think this site even exists?

>>1189434 Funny that you mention Bionicle. When I got the collectors edition of Metroid dread, my family remarked Samus looks link one. And I can see it, especially with the movie versions. A humanoid looking mostly robotic, but with visible muscle and glowing highlights. Now that I'm thinking about it, Metroid and Bionicle have a lot of simulaties: >Collectables that are ancient artefacts that grand new powers just hidden around the place >Said collectables can only be used by the chosen one(s) >Fetch quest of said collectables occasionally gets reset for contrived reasons >Highly advanced technology that looks like magic, but also primitive stuff like history carved in stone walls and spears >Changes of armor, both updates, and design changes that aren't explained (varia looks different almost every game) >Main character(s) have to fight local wildlife before facing the actual enemy >Main character(s) arrive years after the conflict started >Main villain used to be an high ranking figure on the good side before just deciding to defect inspired by previous bad guys. This happens before the start of the first chapter of the story. >The place the story takes place in gets completely destroyed beyond repair at the end >A chapter where the main hero(es) get poisoned, destroying their minds, but also giving them more power. The poison get removed and their biology just gets reset with no traced left of the corruption and the power that came with it, despite big visible changes while the corruption was active. (Prime 3, Hordika arc) >Origin story gets explained in a later chapter
>>1189434 it honestly does, lets hope they keep the same gameplay philosophy as MP games and limit the changes to the aesthetics
>>1106648 wasn't the original H.R Giger aesthetic pretty much all about things like that?
>trailer was deleted nande
>>1104740 >pic 3 That is a very shapely mech
>>1747392 It's what a regular human requires to mimic just a fraction of Samus' power.
(294.91 KB 1079x717 Tired of this shit.jpg)

>>1746920 So now Samus just gets the BotW motorcycle complete with overly panned-out camera to go with the totally still fresh open world? No Speed Booster or cruising around in her Gunship? Will the next trailer have a skilltree reveal too? Is the Amiibo for the inevitable Mario Kart guest DLC? I hate to sound so nitpicky, but it feels like Prime 3 all over again, where they're just following popular trends above all.
>>1747570 Instead of the shitty generic motorcycle they could have just used her ball form.

The desert shown off looks boring and empty, and I'm just gonna genuinely hope that it's a small part of the game. the motorcycle also feels like a really weird addition. Like they couldn't come up with something better? I get that she can't use her ship because muh time travel taking her to some new world and timespace, but really. They already did this with Breath of the Wild and the Shiekahcycle. Feels like a bit of a rehash. The rest didn't seem bad, although I'm betting they want to play it safe after the whole Bamco debacle. there's an ice world, fire world, jungle world. Definitely want to play it by the book. Not saying that it's a bad thing, sometimes you should stick to what works, but let's hope they have more than nostalgia to prop it up.
>>1747582 I assume/hope it'll be like Jak 3, where a shitty driving desert map is mostly just a hub between areas. >>1748213 The funniest part is they seemed proud of this shot.
Okay, but would
>>1747582 What are the Koroks going to be. There has to be SOMETHING in the endless, open land between cookie cutter points of interest, otherwise the game won't break a 65 on MoisheCritic. Surely they'll have meaningless collectibles spread across the empty plains for you to waste hours driving around to get… only to receive just a different colored suit and nothing else.
Looks like Halo

>>1748580 You're telling me!
>>1104740 >second image The Varia Suit isn't supposed to be so slim. Not only is there not supposed to be so much space between Samus' helmet and those units, but the top of her head should not reach so highly above them. What's more, her legs are noticeably thin compared to what they should be: in general, the Varia Suit adds armor and functionality to the Power Suit; this way, it's as if the upgrade is more tell than show--as if to avoid projecting the powerful and cool image Samus' armor normally does. That is a common MO in this effeminate era--if it looks cool or strong, it's to be avoided or toned down somehow. Even that armor suit in the third image looks more "portly" than possessed of powerful bulk; and indeed, women and effeminates prefer round and soft designs that are either cute or suitable for japes over hard and strong ones that are meant to be taken seriously. That third image's design, as it appears, can't be taken seriously. That said...if the beam stacking of MP3 returns, I won't even pirate this (I don't have a Switch 2: aside from the fact that there's no real reason to get one, all the retarded Nintendoisms, particularly the aping paid online multiplayer, have left me without desire to go past the Switch where consoles are concerned). It's only a display of developer laziness that simplifies combat to no beneficial end (except for simpletons and those who never should have been playing games in the first place).
>>1748732 all they did was make it more realistic and not break her bones, relax
>>1747582 There's probably more to it.
>>1748847 >Realistic Care to explain what you mean by this? You're not making a whole lot of sense, given the Morph Ball at the very least.
>>1748534 "Would" what? You didn't finish the sentence.
>>1750333 The bike He would fuck the bike And cum in it at least 6 times in an hour.

>>1747582 Yeah, I kinda get that vibe too. This will probably be playing it safe with a gimmick (psychic). Add in a little marketable element (the motorbike), you got a winner.

>>1753136 Power armor should be feminine & voluptuous
So this game's gonna be an empty open world? No longer semi-linear exploration? Literally the METROID of METROIDvania? Wow, this game's shit before it's even released. I don't want to sound like a normalfaggot, but i also don't know how to describe this game other than "open world slop".
>>1746920 Also what is this shit? Samus already has an ability that not only increases her speed, but is iconic as shit. What's the need to add this? Why didn't then iterate on her morph ball?
>>1105048 Penetrate the building Impregnate the alien architecture
>>1754417 Maybe they thought having her ride a motorcycle with her giant ass arched toward the camera would be more dignified than turning into a morph wheel
>>1753136 >No, you're just a fag who's trying too hard to not come off as a fag, but failing miserably. Stop projecting, start thinking. Or not--usually a tall order for your kind.
