1) The game looks very bland. Art-style is very important to set the mood in a Metroidvania game. This game fails to do so. Should have gone with hand-drawn graphics or pixel art instead of polygonal 3D graphics. 2) Sakamoto is trying to put cinematic action elements into this game again, like he did with Other M, and we all know how that game turned out. I'm a big Metroid fan, anything below a masterpiece is not good enough for me. |
Other M certainly turned out poorly, but it wasn't as a result of the cinematic action moves thrown into Samus' arsenal. In fact, that was probably one of the few redeeming aspects of the game. Other M failed due to its non linearity, lack of exploration, and incredibly poorly handled story, and provided that this remake doesn't venture too far off course, none of those should be an issue.
