Please no. Nintendo can do that with a new IP, metroid has a history and there are expectations in the genre for its fans, it is too risky to make it an entirely different game in hopes of appealing to new fans while distancing itself from the established metroid fanbase who will guarantee a purchase of the game. I don't mind good multi-player in Metroid games, but they shouldn't take from the single-player (ala Prime Hunters.) As for the story, I prefer the method of "telling a story through the environment" that Nintendo uses in Metroid game. Fusion and Other M weren't horrible games for me, but they definitely took the appeal out of the story by using a more cinematic approach rather than an environmental one. . |
I agree, don't mess with Metroid and make it more action based/cinematic for the sake of better sales, they can make a new IP that focus on those elements. Take a look at Resident Evil for example, it was a survival-horror game with a dedicated fanbase but Capcom wanted to make it appeal to the Call of Duty demographic which has hurt the brand name and made many long time fans bitter. Now Capcom is talking about bringing the series back to its roots.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
