Did you skip the Metroid Prime series because it was First-Person?

Valkyria00, Read my post and you'll understand why it won't work.

MP has too many in your face aspects that would be obscured by the character herself. Scanning, which is a very huge game element, would be awkward in 3rd person.

Not to mention the entire HUD, visor system, aiming system, and again the scanning system all rely on a 1st person perspective.

Going into 3rd person would completely change these elements.

Yes but thats because youre just used to playing it that way. What if it went Third-Person and did something completly different and made the game just as enjoyable and fun?

Damn.....didnt explaing that too well. OK Im not saying I want Prime to be Third-Person it is what it is and you all love it which is fine.

What I want is Third-Person Metroid. If the First-Person gameplay doesnt work than change it entirely to work for third person. If scanning wont work change it and make something new.

No thats not even close to what im saying/

That's just the thing, it DOES work in 1st person.  Better than just about any other 1st person perspective title I've ever played.

 

Going 3rd person loses a whole lot of ambience.  You're no longer the character in 3rd person but become simple a puppet master.    You're also changing a whole lot of gameplay mechanics.   I'm not saying they wouldn't be good but soem of those elements cannot be replaced in 3rd person simply because of the nature of those two perspectives.
