Let's talk about the new Metroid game that's not Metroid.

[Toaster]

Shadow Complex

Now he's got one close to completion, a spiritual successor to Super Metroid that runs on Unreal graphics technology. He describes it as a game of exploration punctuated by combat. It's a mostly side-scrolling game of military bases, robots, forests and caves, rich in earth tones and energized by explosions and energy blasts. , 120 power-ups — many of them hidden — and a bunch of core power upgrades. A flashlight reveals which boulders can be obliterated only once the hero has missiles, which hatches need a different gadget. A distant corner can only be grabbed once the player's earned a grappling hook.

It probably won't be nearly as good as an actual Metroid title, but damn, this game makes me want to own a 360 because it at least looks and sounds like an actual Metroid game which is more than I can say from my impressions of Other M.

If I want something that's practically Super Metroid, why wouldn't I just play... Super Metroid? Or Super Metroid 2? }:3

As long as it doesn't end up like another Metroid clone



edit: the guy's name is Donald Mustard. I bet he has a 12" beard.

I hope he gets all kinds of cool armor. I dont wanna be running around as some dude in jeans and a shirt the entire game. :/

Also, does the game reeeeeeeeally have to be three times the size of Super Metroid, just because it can be? How are you gonna remember where to go back?

Yeahh.

And y'know what I'd like?

Colors.

I think you can make a Metroid-esque game that's not confusing without having the backgrounds color coded for your convenience.

whether they'll accomplish that, though, will be seen.

Everything this generation has to do with the military or some **** and has zero colors. }:s

I'm not sure I should be taking that kind of talk from someone who likes to work in monochrome. :3

Grey, brown and using lots of bloom is the future of gaming.
