Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Metroid Prime trilogy director: 'Everything we do sucks'

If you think the Prime games sucked, I really hope Batman is mediocre :D



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Metroid Prime sucked so I agree with him lol. I absolutely hated the mechanics.

Exactly.  Friend of mine does amazing work in various fields (drawing, sculpting, painting, etc.) and he hates everything he does because it can never be up to his impossible standard.  What I would give to be half as good as him.

I thought he was bashing the Prime games at 1st and then I realized he's just kinda being humble.

Watch this game bomb on the 3DS though when Nintendo decides to make Super Metroid 2 or something. (I fear this may happen.)


OMG!  DDDDD= METROID PRIME: HUNTERS 2! METROID PRIME: HUNTERS 2!! MAKE IT HAPPENZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!


MP:Hunters sucked. Altho I agree that the 3DS has the potential of giving us the MP:H we deserve. 

As for the OT, I thought Prime2 was better than Prime3 imo. But I have a spoiler for this guy, he will never ever work on a game that is half as good as Prime, so he better get used to the fact that these ''sucky games'' were the pinnacle of his career (and what a pinnacle it was imo)

The multiplayer was the only good thing about MP Hunters, but even multiplayer had glaring flaws.  Samus would take extra damage with the missile's but everything else ridiculously weak, one character was good with the short range weapon that shot out an ultima type ground explosion. the lava character was good with the fire weapon, another character was good with the auto aim HP drain gun, etc.  It really made the game not worth playing because you either got the weapon your character was proficient with and went to town, or you got owned  by everyone because weapons your characters weren't proficient with were complete garbage.

Anyways, Im more interested in how Arkham City Origins Blackgate will do over Origins.  The new Arkham game is probably going to be too similar to the old Arkham games while Blackgate is going to be atleast a new gameplay experience.  I hope it's a good game.  If Blackgate on the Vita and 3DS have the same graphics, something Warner Bros is known for with all their Vita/3DS games, then I'll get the 3DS version even though I'm more of a Sony fan.  The reason is the 3D.  Whilei I'm not a fan of a lot of the games I've played in 3D, Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate shows that the game can look absolutely amazing in 3D, so I'm not losing anything by not getting the Vita version, but gaining what's possibly another great 3D game.



The best designers are never satisfied.

Difference is that Pacini wasn´t working alone on Metroid Prime and that obviously the departure from Nintendo wasn´t a friendly one. It´s just a completely different matter if you criticize a work you made on your own and saying something "sucked" that was developed by a studio with many competent coworkers you left behind.

MP:H was awesome :(  Probably one of the best competitive-multiplayer title from Nintendo.

I'm with you Wright. Hunters was an excellent game :)

@OP: Pacini seems to be a very tortured designer. He should really be more proud of his work. The Metroid Prime trilogy is arguably the greatest video game trilogy ever made (although I'd give the nod to Halo). Even if Metroid Prime was the only thing Pacini worked on, his career would be a success. That game is about as close to perfection as a game can get.



i salute your humbleness in the business full of douche...



 

Marketing. He just informed everyone that like prime to buy black gate. And he used his former title, which no one knew, to get publicity. Now black gate has a chance to gain market awareness in blogs and articles.

I wouldn´t call it humbleness. In fact it reminds me alot of Inafunes statements.
