New Metroid: Prime Details!

http://cube.ign.com/news/37440.html

Omg, this game will absolutely kick ass.

I\'m excited again!!!

That does sound badass,  can\'t wait until space world...

I read the article this morning and I must say it made me re-gain some interest in Metroid Prime. I guess it\'s a unique way of doing a fps. Can\'t wait to see it in action come Spaceworld.

First Person shooter still, eh? I just can\'t get excited about it no matter what I read. Maybe footage at SpaceWorld will help get me excited because these articles just are not doing it.

There is just something wrong with Metriod being a FPS. It is ..Well, its unholy and a sin.

I\'ve loved Metroid since the 8-bit Nintendo days. Best game ever!! I\'m actually considering buying the Game Cube now...

I dunno...

I completely understand your thoughts LiC.. but seeing how we\'re not going to have Metroid "our way," we have to hope for the best. (and expect the worst)

It better be good...otherwise...I may cry... Not really, but I don\'t think they\'re going to mess this one up. It\'s a BIG title...

well i must say that im hyped for metroid on the gamecube once again and i cant wait to see what they show at the space world show....ofcourse i wish metroid was like part 3,  but theres nothing we could do about that now...from the mock pic that they made of looking through samus\'s eyes,  i got a really good feeling of the possibilities...i love how everything will reflect off the glass including lights and even water drips...
unfortunately,  what i took from the article was that its not going to look as cool as the mock pic is...and that pisses me off because i thought they did a great job putting together that moc pic which prolly took the artist no more than an hour to do...i hope the real game looks awesome and atleast remotely close to what that pic looked like....ofcourse lets not forget that metroid was not only graphics...this new sequel better have great gameplay,  ambient music and an eerie story line to go along with it...retro better not cheese it up...
ive been waiting for this title for years..................

If it wasn\'t  first person I might acutal be excited about it.  Oh yeah why is retro studios doing this game instead of nintendo.  Stupid move for nintendo...... :thepimp:

Taken from article
We presented the above mock-up image of what Metroid Prime\'s first-person view could look like to insiders at Retro Studios, who verified that while it\'s not nearly as flashy or "cool" as what\'s being done internally, it does capture the general idea.

That makes me think that the actual game looks flashier and better than the mock-up.

Way does nintendo have to use mock-up?  Is the actual game not that impressive or something?

Because Retro can\'t show actual footage until Spaceworld.

I agree some games should not be changed and this is one of them I can\'t get excited about this. WOOOW and fps..just like all the others..wooooooooo

I think if people just enjoyed Prime at face value and forgot about it being related to Meroid at all, they\'d have a much better time with it. I personally see Prime as GC\'s Halo.
