Forums - Nintendo - FPA Metroid Trilogy is over. Time to move on. 3rd Person anyone?

The series works incredibly well in First Person. A large part of what makes the game so great is just how enveloping and engaging the first person perspective is. The screen overlays, the scanning, steam on your helmet. It just draws you in so well. Arbitrarily switching the games perspective only makes sense if it's to usher in a new concept or play style.

I wouldn't support changing the games perspective just for the sake of it. If anything, I think we should maybe get a handheld or wiiware title, and then let the Metroid franchise take a break until the next console. Give Nintendo a chance to seriously up the graphical presentation as well.

This is basically what I want. Im not saying a give us a 3rd Person game that plays like some fucked up FPS/3rd Person game.

Bring Metroid back in 3rd Person and innovate with it. Do something none of us expect. Just changing the perspective is the first step.

I'm sure I'll get chewed out for this, but how about a third person game featuring Samus without the suit? Maybe in a bikini. That would be nice. Samus still has enough moves without the suit on, and seems to become more acrobatic. Maybe she could find love finally.

Or! Or...Samus could be pregnant and she knows who the father is but is afraid to tell him because...there's a bounty on his head and she is conflicted on whether to accept this killer bounty or have a father for her kid. New gameplay mechanics could be random vomiting, taking pills in the morning cycle to assist, and rumbling in the controller meaning the baby is kicking. Plus you'll have to protect your stomach area from enemies.

Edit: My bikini game would be this pic but in 3D. Ooo lala!

 

 

OH! OH! I KNOW THE BEST PERSEPCTIVE FOR THIS TOO!!!!!

She could also have a red-flashing area on her stomach so the enemies know what not to hit.

My friend, you have just boiled Metroid down to it's distilled essence, put it into a needle, and injected it into my eyeball!!!  THIS is the Metroid I've been wanting to play for years!!  Fuck yes! 

 

Call Nintendo up right now.

 

Because this idea was so awesome, I actually have to (for the first time ever) quote myself, quoting you!  This idea is so awesome, I want to do myself in the butt!

 

 

Goodnight.  Gotta go to work early in the morning.  Later dudes!

I don't know, the 1st person aspect has such great atmosphere to it. I don't see how 3rd person could retain that (among other things).

What about a MMORPG Metroid!!! You could choose race like Human, Chozo, Metroid, Random Space Creatures, etc; it would involve scanning, exploring and both first person, third person, and sidescrolling game segments. Also, hopefully they could innovate and work in the pregnant-Samus into the game somehow.

 



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

So far most people fear something different. You say FP did it right but I keep saying you never know until a 3rd Person version comes out.

 

Yes, but why? It's dissoluting the original integrity of the Metroid franchise to keep on stretching its orignal magic thin over genre after genre. 2D one's timeless. The Prime games were, surprisingly, equally great. So why? Why not just make a new 3rd person sci-fi IP--why do we have to bastardize Metroid's legacy just to get a whimsical, it-might-be-good game? That's a flimsy argument--I mean, I could claim that Little Big Planet would be better if it was 3rd person; we'll never know until we try. But why try, it works amazingly how it is?

Not trying to sound too angry or anything, this is just a subject I've given a good bit of thought to so I have fairly wordy things to say about it.

Because they can just use Metroid. Mario has been both Platform/RPG
I know its different but you can branch out the series to different type of game and it can still come out good.

Look Vlad! She's waving at you. Go mack it to her!

As a quick add on, it would be an awesome twist if the baby turned out to be an alien bore from the Sigourney Weaver Alien series and it busts through Samus' chest at the end instead of her giving birth as your love is holding your hand ever so gently by your side. His final task is to travel with that silly android with white blood and fuck up the Queen Alien once and for all.

If the next Metroid was to be a standard Metroid game in 3D, only in 3rd person, with all new upgrades and weapons, etc, i would still perfer a 1st person game. Why? Because i feel that the visors from Prime have a great deal of life left in them, and thats plenty innovation there. The visor aspect of the games wouldnt be right to lay in a 3rd person perspective.




--OkeyDokey-- on 04 January 2009

Unless they do something really special with it, I'd rather it just be kept the way it is.

I'd sell all my other games for a HD Metroid Prime ;_;

OMG what a great idea!! You could get together in groups of 40 and go kill bosses, who will in turn drops some power-ups which have a nice purple glow! With those you'd be able to explore and defeat new enemies! Brilliant!
