Metroid Prime 3 to be bigger than Halo?!
BlindsideDork | 9:26 AM on 06.25.2007 18 comments




Maybe not bigger but according to that Play Magazine it could be the biggest revolution in FPS games since Halo, I assume they mean for consoles since Halo wasn't that revolutionary...but anyways, this wasn't meant to be a Halo bash.

Play Magazine has screenshots and talks about the Metroid Prime 3: Corruption time they had. There are no screenshots (which are said to be pretty) cause of some publishing rule, so if you want to see it, you have to get the magazine.

They had much good to say but I will highlight a few (less spoiler ones) first and if you want the whole list, look below it.


- Play feels motion controls work better than dual joystick

- Super sensitive pointer in “advanced” mode

- Beam stacking ala Super Metroid

- Visor switch: Hold minus and flick Wiimote in certain directions

- Back tracking in MP3:C makes more sense than in previous Primes

- Extra development time was to give the game more polish. Nintendo wanted “Twilight Princess” levels of polish. Game is focused on Metroid fans and hardcore gamers, but still accessible to newcomers due to controls.

- Larger environments, bloom lighting, better textures than Prime 2

- Corruption Mode not available in demo

- Play says it could be the biggest revolution in FPS gaming since Halo.



That actually covers most of it but you the full list is below...


!!! SPOILERS !!!


COMPLETE List of things they said:

- First level - You are attacked on a spaceship while meeting with the ship’s captain…action packed

- Play feels motion controls work better than dual joystick

- Super sensitive pointer in “advanced” mode

- Beam stacking ala Super Metroid

- Visor switch: Hold minus and flick Wiimote in certain directions

- Boss fight with Ridley at the end of the first level. Excellent difficulty curve by the time you reach the boss.

- Back tracking in MP3:C makes more sense than in previous Primes

- Extra development time was to give the game more polish. Nintendo wanted “Twilight Princess” levels of polish. Game is focused on Metroid fans and hardcore gamers, but still accessible to newcomers due to controls.

- Second level - floating city focused on exploration

- Larger environments, bloom lighting, better textures than Prime 2

- Corruption Mode not available in demo

- Play says it could be the biggest revolution in FPS gaming since Halo.


That is all that is said...

!!! End of Spoilers !!!


I am still excited about this game and can't wait till it comes out. Here is hoping she looks as good as her Smash rendition or even better! What you guys think?

Sure...let's hope that I don't get distracted by playing with my toy truck transformers!!!

But saddly and NOT saddly, NO multiplayer. Strictly single player which I am happy for cause multi for Metroid sucks. If they make an awesome single player like MP was, I will be content.

multi-player on the ds was pretty good, i'm always into just huge frag fests when i get frustrated with the story modes. both echos, and the ds game i've pretty much put down due to getting stuck and not thinking to pick it up, that happens ya know.

i would pick it up and play hunters but the pokemans has infested my ds and fused it's self into the cartridge slot. me and a co-worker have been playing it/talking about it incessantly and people think we're freakin weirdos for being in our 20's and playing pokemon. it also isn't a good pick up line to ask a girl to let you show her your pokemans, unless your choice spot to pick up chicks is an elementry school play ground....

reminds me of an comedian that had a line...

"I'll show you my pokemon if you let me get a peek-atchu!"


and another joke from a comedian's daughter (that is what he says)...

"Why should you never change infront of a Pokemon? Cause they might Peek-atchu."


ha ha, I need to stop this...

Yeah, Halo's not revolutionary, but it's still a great game.

I'm excited as... some really excited person for Metroid Prime 3.

Backtracking in the Metroid series always got me. I BEEN HERE.

Hopefully this'll be the first one I finish all the way through.
