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.
All right, but Mother Brain has to go in that case. Maybe some kind of totally bad-ass wizard warrior king?
I was thinking that Ridley could jump in the time machine just as it's about to blow up, and due toits multiple ressurections he gets transformed into said badass wizard warrior thief.

I think they should just scrap the Metroid games and put Samus in the next Mario Kart. A 3rd person Metroid would make me vomit, unless I got to play as a metroid the whole time.
They should combine all of these ideas and make a first-person Mario Kart with Samus, Link; all of Nintendo's characters and just stop making every single other franchise.
Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Oh no you didn't bring that back, did you?
Random game thought : Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

I don't.
This.
Metroid Prime and Half-Life are two very similar franchises. Both have their silent heroes, both have damn good puzzles. One just focuses more on the shooting the other on the aadventure.
That said, MP could easily be in 3rd person, howeverit will be the same. There is NO difference between 1st and 3rd, other than the fact that you can see things coming from the sides/behind you. However in 3d person, doing some of the few shooting parts in MP will become a pain, since you'd have Samus blocking your view all the time. Therefore stay with 1st or 2D.
Isnt that like saying your character in 3rd Person shooters are in your way all the time!?
Come on there is a big difference in FP and 3rd Person. Combat for one could be change alot
That's exactly why it should NOT be in 3rd. 3rd person shooting is a joke and retarded, just like melee swordfighting in 1st is a joke.
You have obviously never played dark messiah of might and magic before.
The gameplay starts 1 minut in. Give it a watch for it is beyond awesome.
Thank you for linking to one of the games that's an example of first person melee sucking.... I could just as easily show you an awesome Morrowind video.
? difference is i have this game and i know it's awesome. Otherwise i wouldn't have played through it like 8 times so far and keep on doing it. Melee in this game is awesome.
I had high, VERY high hopes for Dark Messiah and I was extremely, EXTREMELY disappointed. Pro Tip: Use the Kick! I still can't get myself to finish this horrible game.
Did you play the pc version ? cause that one is awesome. I haven't tried the console version. And did you use the shield properly ? you have to use both the shield, sword and kick to fight properly.. and use the enviroments :p (if you are a warrior)
Of course I played the PC version... Pc versoins are in general far better than console versions and even then it sucked. I didn't use neithe shield nor sword nor spell, I used my mighty boot. Still a mediocre game.

Keeping aperspective does NOT mean there can't be innovation.
If you didn't explore the gameplay features properly you have no right to claim anything about the game :p

That's the problem, I explored them and found the boot to be the most efficient one. That alone should speak a ton about how crappy the game is....
