Prime 4 is going to rock isn't it? like it's going to be The Reason to own a Switch 2.

>>714050735 (OP)
Lol no.

>>714050735 (OP)
Looks underwhelming desu. It needs a Bananza tier direct to save it.

>>714050735 (OP)
It will play better emulated on PC either way lol

>>714051296
I played MP1 recently with Primehack and it's awesome with keyboard+mouse with instant door loading. Too bad about the second half of the game tho lol i'm not looking forward to playing 2 & 3. Couldn't give a shit about 4 because I don't trust modern devs to not fuck it up desu.

>>714050735 (OP)
Prime 4 is the only high quality game from Nintendo that's been revealed for the switch 2 (actually a switch 1 game but whatever). It not being good is going to be a bad sign

>>714051504
>I'm not looking forward to playing 2
why? It's better

Sex with balls

>>714050735 (OP)
This new suit is HOT

>>714053173
that's not a new suit, it's the prime 2 varia (based for reusing it because it's the best one in the series) slimmed down a bit, unless you mean the other new suit which is yes, the best suit since the light suit

>>714051296
Like you even know how to set it up.

>>714052383
Happy to be wrong but they just look cartoony and kiddiefied compared to the atmosphere of 1.

>>714053308
I'm not sure how 2 looks cartoony compared to 1 given its darker atmosphere.

>kiddified
prime 2 is the most difficult metroid game, unfortunately hard mode needs to be unlocked after a first playthrough though if you're emulating I'm sure you can bypass that

>>714053253
I'm considering the new varia suit design new because the shape is far more feminine than any previous version. I liked the PED when Prime 3 came out but after replaying it recently I realized how masculine it looks.
Dread and Prime 4 are are making the right decision by having her look unmistakably female.

>>714053436
I prefer the bulkier prime varia over the slim one to be honest. I'm ok with the slimmer varia here in prime 4 because it's done in service of the new suit. I don't like Dread's suit at all

>>714053378
Prime 2 is the most difficult Prime game. The original Metroid, Fusion's Japanese exclusive hard mode and Dread are the hardest games in the series.

>>714053527
>OG metroid
not hard, more like retarded in how you need to locate kraid

>japanese fusion hard mode
played it, not as hard as prime 2 on hard. Majority of the enemies including bosses are cleared by mindlessly spamming missiles their way

>Dread
You have an argument with Dread mode but otherwise no, Dread's enemy/boss moves are highly telegraphed and easy to avoid once you become familiar with their limited movepools with rare exceptions

>>714053526
I love the Dread suit. Prime 1 was cool because the weird proportions suited the bizarre art style of the game but I like it when you can tell she's a girl. The Fusion suit is the worst in the series.

>>714053643
Dread is hard even on normal. Don't even try to bullshit me and say you didn't die a bunch on the first Chozo robot fight.

>>714053667
OG Prime 1 varia is fucked up, I was talking more along the lines of prime 2/3 and the remastered suit which incorporates elements of the prime 2 varia

>fusion suit is the worst in the series
agreed there

>>714053731
No, you're right, I died a bunch on normal mode...but went through hard with a single death. This is because, again, once you know enemy patterns/moves, it's incredibly easy to dodge them in Dread (this applies to SR as well). The difficulty of dread comes from not really being able to anticipate what a boss is going to do on a blind run.

Contrast this with prime 2 where boost guardian or emperor ing are a challenge everytime on hard mode even if you know their movesets

>>714053763
Yes the changes made to the varia suit in Prime 2 and 3 were great. Especially in the butt region. Personally I was not a fan of the light suit though lots of people seem to love it, my favorite was the dark suit.

>>714054013
dark suit is interesting, it's not one of my favorites but I appreciate how different it is

>>714053831
Omega Pirate still fucks me up on hard sometimes. Especially in remastered where they got rid of the ice troopers susceptibility to freezing + missile.
Mercury Steam's approach to bosses is different which is why they're hard initially. You're gonna die a few times until you memorize the patterns. I intentionally take long breaks between playthroughs so I don't memorize them very well to keep it fresh.

>>714054390
Yeah, MS's enemy design is very telegraphed/clockwork in design. This wouldn't be much of a problem except bosses have like 6 moves in total barring raven beak who has a few more.

Omega pirate is tough but gets a lot easier once you realize Power bombs fuck up his armor.

>>714053436
I like the new proportions, I was a bit iffy on it from the reveal trailer but the Treehouse footage showed more angles and poses where it looks great, and she still has bulk which is specially noticeable whe she stands close to GF Troopers

>>714054631
Took me about 20 years to realize this was a remix of red brinstar.

Aren't you Samus Aran? It's an honor to meet you~
Samus looks down, "At ease soldier."

I think it's going to be just okay. A perfectly serviceable revision that doesn't really do anything revolutionary and is in fact somewhat backwards in some aspects. Just like Dread.

>>714054973
Just OK is above average by today's standards. Just making a fucking game that doesn't slap you in the face with Jewry is a godsend.

>>714053378
Just loaded up 2 and it crashed during the first dark world transition, off to a great start. 1 worked flawlessly for what its worth.

never played anything other than fusion. do they come up with some clever excuse for samus to obtain all that gear again every single game?

>>714050735 (OP)
Ye, that games been cooking for 10 years, possibly more.

>>714055149
2 has emulation issues. It stutters and slows down even on high end gaming PCs. The actual GCN version had noticeable slowdown in many places. It's not surprising, just look at it, the game still looks phenomenal.

>>714055356
he's on primehack which is based on the wii version

>>714055168
outside of prime 2 and 3, not really

>>714055226
active development on this version of prime 4's only been 6 years (consider covid hit and slowed them down + they needed extra dev time for the switch 2 version)

>I send Samus my number along with the mission briefing, I hope she calls me

>>714054819
designs in general look great so far. Sylux's base design is unchanged from hunters but looks a lot better with just some basic proportion alterations

>>714050735 (OP)
Listen Prime was fucking great back in the day, but 2D Metroid is just superior. Prime 4 psychic powers reveal felt underwhelming, even Prime 2 which was kind of "gaiden-y" felt more interesting with the light and dark themes

>>714055951
Prime 3 (the worst of the prime trilogy) is more enjoyable than the 2D games released after super

You know Prime 4 has this right, except it's a lot more involved with two entirely different planetscapes instead of mostly being similar. We haven't even seen the major new mechanic of Prime 4 with the new suit yet.

>>714056064
Prime 4 definitely looks like Metroid Prime 2 2.

>>714056093
GOOD

though truthfully it looks like a mix of all 3, though the new alien race/planet swapping mechanic is definitely leaning more on 2.

I just had the best idea ever
some kind of plastic casing shaped like the arm cannon
but you put the joycon in it and use motion controls
and press buttons inside it like samus
I would buy the SHIT out of it

>>714056356
I made that out of cardboard when I was 10.

Sylux' new model looks amazing, also I'm thinking we're going to control one of the Golem mechs with the new phiki powers at one point in the game since we see one all mangled up in Viewros

How did the crashed pirate ship in Prime 1 get what looks like years of vegitation growing in it after being on the planet for just a couple of hours?

GOTY remains to be seen, but if Prime 4 is on par with the previous games' soundtracks it's got best music locked down.

>>714057969
I love prime's soundtracks but it's not beating E33 in that sector

It's gonna be interesting to see what this game will bring to the table artistically without Andrew Jones' bizarre concept art.

>>714053308
>cartoony and kiddiefied
it's griddier and more difficult

>>714058221
Maybe he doesn't like purple.

>>714058186
Im a little worried about this myself, but the weird yonic architecture seen in the Lamorn structures gives me hope it'll have a cool art direction

>>714057969
Anything lewd by this artist regarding Samus?

>still no release date

>>714058743
Schizo theory, but it'll probably be given one this month at the end of the daily A to Z thing they're doing on Nintendo's stupid app.
