Yeah, sure. Nine months is fine, launch aligned.

Cancelling out the two seems the more sensible if we are both right on one bet.

Yeah, I know it's more sensible - I only suggested the alternative because it gives me an excuse to get a VC game. That and, well, there's the point that one of these will be resolved in like a week and the other will take nine months, so payout could take a very long time.

All right. Are we agreed on the conditions of the bet, then? Just to restate them:

1. I hold that Metroid: Other M will have less than two hours of cutscenes, counting only unskippable narrative-driving dialogue, being told where to go, and the like. Boss intros, area overviews, and mid-bossfight cutscenes do not count.

2. I hold that Metroid: Other M will outsell Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, for the first nine months of sales, launch-aligned.

Stakes: 500 Wii Points per condition, to be awarded in the form of a game of the winner's choosing.

Yep, that's all fine.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I loved what I have seen so far. also, there are many people considering what we got in the Prime series as "what Metroid should be", and I don't really agree with that.

Not by a long shot.  Heck, you can't even use half the powers in the Prime series based on the fact its only in First Person.  But more accurately, eventhough the Prime games are still fun, they're not true Metroid games.  In the sense of how you explore areas, control Samus and use her suit.

That's why this game looks to be such a big deal.  Because Sakamoto (creator of Metroid) is finding a way to truly make it so you can control Samus in a fully 3D environment and still have the 'Metroid experience'.  In other words, the speed and accuracy of a Metroid game like the 2D Metroids, but in a 3D game.  Something they couldn't do on the N64 or even the GameCube (which is why they chose to go with the first person perspective). 

I mean, we've already confirmed a number of things you couldn't do in Prime such as the Power Grip, flipping while jumping, dashing, etc.  All these things will most likely lead to Samus once again using all her past abilities, in both first and third person.  And I for one am stoaked.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

@the guy sayin mature does not equal sex

all im sayin is i grew up a bit, matured, then had sex

so can samus, or at least ridley



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

with these changes i can honestly say that im more interested inmetroid now than in the prime series days

im guessing that's what the developers were going for

I think this game takes it back to what's real about metroid.

It looks like Ninja Gaiden with a gun, which is completely fine by me.

Also this game has graphics that are leaps over 99% of the Wii's library. This game has sky rockete to one of my most hyped games EVER

I really look forward to it, especially considering Super Metroid and to a lesser extent Zero Mission are two of my favorite games of all time
