I do not think you will be able to get hte same atmosphere unless you made it a side scroller. No one I know wants that. Nostalga is what makes you want it but there is a whole generation of kids who followed you that will go WTF is this shit? Halo it is. |
They absolutely are not apples and oranges. Super Metroid is not just any 2D sidescroller. It is arguably more open, and infinitely more sequence-breakable, and definitely more explorable than any of the Prime games. It has absolutely nothing to do with being 2D or 3D. That's the falacy with the move to 3D. People assume that the added dimention add things just by the virtue of being 3D.
And it's not nostalgia. I played Prime before Super Metroid or any other Metroid. If anything, I should be nostalgic for the Prime Trilogy.
