Stop with the empty environments and long areas of jumping around doing nothing. Make it a proper shooting game. |
If it was any more like Halo, Gears, Resistance, etc. it would be just as meh and been there done that as the games I just lsited. Metroid truly is an exceptional game and it deserved its spot as 2nd best (after zelda OOT) until overhyped games fucked up the positioning (read: GTAiV's craptastic appearence).
As for how to make it sell well, Metroid is a sisngle-player game, how are you going to ada multi player to it? Deathmatch? Yeah right... The story is just fine, and I even like the silent-treatment. It works in the exact same way that Half-Life works, perfectly. The story itself is fine as it is too, it doesn't get in the way, and it lets the creators come up with some great locales and puzzles. A different story would only get in the way of gameplay and that would be catastrophic. It doesn't need to be a shooter because I have yet to see a GEAT shooter on a console, and it focuses on an area that is rarely tread upon, first-person adventure.
The biggest problem has been already pointed out; its first appearence is that of a shooter, and a hard-core one at that. Mothers won't buy it for their kids, and people who don't know of it just won't buy it because they hear about he "AMAZING HALO, Gears, and Resistance!!111oneeleven!!1" and compare Prime to those weak games. Nontendo needs to advertise it to everyone and somehow show that Metroid is not like those games at all.
P.S. Prime 1 was the best game last generation and Prime 3 is the best game this generation so far. Perfect in every aspect.
