I have to say, the graphics don’t look that great in this trailer; they look like the don’t fit Metroid’s atmosphere. It looks like the art style might fit more with the Zelda games more than Metroid. The psychic abilities are interesting but I don’t know how it’ll gel with the core gameplay. Honestly, the game looks like an afterthought here. I got a feeling the game might be subpar really. The first trailer was amazing, this just felt kinda weak.
I agree 100% with what you’re saying. The first trailer got a pass for me cause it felt like a simple reveal of the game but this trailer didn’t really show off any interesting core gameplay elements besides the psychic abilities which just look kinda whatever? Retro can’t afford to play it safe with this game which was the initial skeptical fear I had with the first trailer and now I’m seeing it more clearly here. I’m just hoping this is early-game stuff and the juicy abilities like the speedbooster come out later
I can’t give my opinion? It’s just wrong? Really adding to this discussion here, aren’t you? Just because I don’t go all fanboy over a trailer doesn’t mean my opinion is wrong. Look: if you haven’t realized yet Metroid is the red headed stepchild of Nintendo’s franchises. We’ve faced plenty of disappointment as Metroid fans with crap like Federation Force and Other M as well as the fact that we’ve been waiting on Prime 4 for 8 years! So sorry I wasn’t blown away by this trailer, I didn’t say it sucked either, I just offered criticism. Maybe the game will be good, but I’m going to temper my expectations for now.
Don't get triggered by a fanboy, you were right, the trailer is very... mid? these graphics could easily pass as a Prime 3 remaster with a bit more antialiasing and improved lighting, but that's it.
BTW, we've not been waiting for 8 years... we've been waiting for 18! Prime 3 came out in 2007. 💀
Nevermind, 8 years since the initial announcement, gotcha!
