I know that.
Its just I HATE the first-person view. Besides GoldenEye I dislike all FPS that Ive played. I wasnt sure I wanted MP3 but I gave it a shot. Its a good game. I dont regret it. Thing is its been done. Theyre bring the previous 2 enhanced on Wii which will be the superior versions of them. Its over

I want a 3rd Person Metroid.

Same goes for you. I dont think 3rd Person shooters are horrible like you make them out to be. I like Gears of War. I dont want 3rd Person Metroid to be like a Gears game. Im just saying just because you say 3rd person shooting sucks doesnt make it true. I admit the FP metroid worked its just my prefrence that the next would be 3rd Person.

Gears would have been MUCH better if it wasas 1st person, and the only reason it was in 3rd was so that it could implement the cover system, which in first person has existed for decades. We generally call it Crouch. The reticules are off, it's retarded to see wehre you are getting hit from, and overall the shooting is stupid, what's the point if I can jsut tilt the camera so I can see around the wall?

As for melee, you can't do proper badass moves in 1st persosn at all, look at Warrior Within and you'll see why melee should never be done in 3rd person.

That is not a discussion appropriate for this topic. Go have your 'third person shooters is for suckas' convo somewhere else.

I think that since Metroid has shooting elements and is in the thread title along with the words "3rd person" this applies perfectly to the issue at hand.

Not so much when it becomes a discussion about Gears of War.

Shooter, 3rd person. Gotta use something as an example. Want me to go after Armed and Dangerous instead?

Ideally it would be better if we talked about how the third person could possibly work in Metroid.

Part of the reason I'm saying this is because I have to try really hard not to argue with you about Gears, and even if we abstract that to the virtues of TPS vs. FPS, that's still getting away from what Metroid is. And I don't want to be the one to get the topic locked.

In that case, if we're gonna be looking at ways to make it good in 3rd person. Give her only melee attacksexcept maybe 1 or two. Then you could make her a boy and give her a green suit of armor. Also she finds a time machine where she goes back to a fantasy setting.
