^Exactly. There is no "real" Samus, she is a character who exists in people's minds. Suddenly turning her into a "character" rather than an empty vessel upon which the player can project his/her ideas was a terrible idea, made worse by the particular characterization chosen.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
