Looks good, seems like an interesting concept. Will keep my eyes peeled for that one.

I think this is my most anticipated game at this point. Please be good

uhN0id,

I haven’t read anything about the game yet but just based on this trailer I’m getting a Dark Tide meets Helldivers vibe and I’m all for it.

I’m intrigued. I just finished my second playthrough of Papers, Please and I’m ready for more tedious work!

I’m glad they’re showing more extended sections of gameplay. I was worried after the last few trailers featured mainly quick cuts between cutscenes and seemingly canned animations. This is shaping up to be promising despite the somewhat worrisome delays.

HYPE!!!

That’s the entire AA series on Switch now with the exception of Layton vs Wright. Hopefully, this means AA7 is next?

It looks like an Octopath spin-off. Which is a good thing.

FINALLY!

Just wish we could use Wii controls. That was the best way to play prime. The switch remaster was okay, but not as good.

sheridan,
@sheridan@lemmy.world avatar

Switch remaster has a motion controls option. I quite like it. Is that comparable to how it played on the Wii?

Daedskin,

I feel like I’m the only one who prefers the original, gamecube controls. Playing through the switch remake, I played with the new controls for, like, 10 minutes before switching to the original control scheme and playing the rest of the game with it.

isyasad,
@isyasad@lemmy.world avatar

I’m with you on the Gamecube controls, tank controls are awkward but Wii pointing is more awkward. Although the best control scheme I used was a Steam controller on Dolphin (for the Wii version).

morphballganon,

Nope, you’re not the only one. The Wii port of Prime wasn’t as well-tested as the original.

brsrklf, (edited )

I prefer GameCube control for MP1 and 2 too.

Though MP3 did the wiimote control very well IMO (duh, it was made for it, but still, in this case it added something).

I have not tried MP1’s switch remake though, I only played the original MP and MP2 on gamecube and then Trilogy on the Wii.

Eggyhead,

Prime is why Nintendo needs to embrace VR.

nieminen,

Prime VR would be my JAM!

RightHandOfIkaros,

There are some forks of Dolphin that support VR.

nieminen,
5too,

I’m actually still trying to get one to work… might need to step back and make sure I can get base Dolphin to run it first!

morphballganon,

I guess you forgot about the Wii remote turning being too slow for fighting the hive queen

nieminen,

Yeah definitely have to turn up the sensitivity. The default level has you turning suuuuper slow.

morphballganon,

I maxed it out and it was still slower than the GCN stick let you turn. Beating the bee boss thus relied on luck where it shouldn’t.

nieminen,

Can’t argue there!

Eggyhead,

I forgot what the setting was, but the mode with the littlest deadzone/bounding box was the way to go for me. Had the butt of the wiimote rested on my leg for stability and played the game like a joystick aimed at the TV.

morphballganon,

Oh of course, anything else was unplayable

TallonMetroid,
@TallonMetroid@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, Switch pointer controls were pretty YMMV, simply because the joycons themselves aren’t nearly as reliable in that regard as the Wiimotes were.

VindictiveJudge,
@VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world avatar

The Wiimote worked with a pair of IR blasters to locate your screen. Joycons have no idea where your screen is. In that light, that they work as pointing devices at all is actually rather impressive.

skulblaka,
@skulblaka@startrek.website avatar

With Primehack you can play the OG prime series (I think the Wii U version?) on PC with a controller for dual joystick control like a modern FPS, or even m+k. It also runs well on steam deck, I have it on mine. It’s very excellent, highly recommend.

TastyWheat,

Oh man, Wiimote and nunchuck on Metroid Prime was incredible. So goddamn intuitive. You just… point at everything. I’ve actually been holding off on the remake because my one and only playthrough of MP1 was with the wiimote. It ruled.

nieminen,

Playing the original (GameCube) is also fun. For me neither control structure is the end all be all, I just preferred the Wii version.

The remake was visually good for the most part, but I think the original looks better overall.

I hope they release all 3 of the original primes with the remaster before 4 comes out, but I’ll still be playing my Wii prime trilogy 🤣

mikyopii, do games w Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Announcement Trailer
@mikyopii@programming.dev avatar

Was anyone else hoping for more of an evolution in gameplay? It looks like it plays exactly like Metroid Prime 2 but that game is 20 years old.

I really want this game to do well but that trailer is making me worried.

billiam0202,

Let’s face it: that trailer was just bad. We already knew MP4 was in the works; there was nothing that was shown for us to get excited for. No new enemies, no new suits, no new abilities, no new weapons. If I had to guess, I’d say the team was told to put something together for Nintendo Direct at the last minute, so they threw together footage from the intro level. It worries me that Nintendo wants to drive the hype from the existence of MP4, instead of the content of MP4.

brsrklf,

Yeah, I suspect the last minute trailer request too. I am a huge fan of the Metroid Prime trilogy (hunters doesn’t count), and that trailer did practically nothing for me.

Woo, slight remix of the space pirate theme, scanning a dead pirate, and morph balling through a conduit. And three seconds of Sylux, again, because we’re supposed to care about that character for some reason.

skulblaka,
@skulblaka@startrek.website avatar

I actually liked Hunters :c

brsrklf,

It failed completely at being a Metroid game. It’s obvious the single-player “story” was just hastily hacked together from the multiplayer mode.

Maps were linear, without any kind of secrets or exploration. They were mostly boring corridors between multiplayer arenas for fights against bots.

The only abilities were different coloured guns, and while the MP trilogy gives the four beams specific properties to interact with the environment, I can’t remember what most Hunters guns were supposed to do beside opening corresponding doors.

There were three boring and mostly static bosses in the whole game, two of them copy pasted once to make it last a bit longer.

I don’t even think its controls or arena map design felt like Metroid Prime. The very limited Metroid Prime 2 multiplayer felt more like “competitive Metroid Prime”. It was more fun to me anyway, not that I’d buy a Metroid game for multiplayer.

skulblaka,
@skulblaka@startrek.website avatar

I think this is all fair criticism. I played this game when I was 12, after all, and did mostly play the multiplayer after a single run through of the story.

Also important to note that I hadn’t actually played the mainline Prime games yet at that time, that probably had a lot to do with it.

jose1324,

Hunters counts 😭

brsrklf, (edited )

I have a personal beef with that game :)

I am sure there are people with good memories of it as an arena shooter, but I had little interest in that. And as a Metroid, it sucked (…sorry)

I remember trying the First Hunt demo, that was a demo cartridge from the beginning of the DS and was supposed to be a short teaser for what Hunters would be. Back then I thought, yeah, with a game around it, it could be great.

Turns out the actual Hunters was absolutely nothing like that, and focused only on multiplayer. The only reason they tacked a half-assed single-player mode on it is so it could be sold to people who wanted an actual Metroid game. I’d respect the game more if they didn’t try to sell it as more than it really was.

Tikiporch,

Your guess is very generous.

OpenPassageways,

This late in the Switch’s lifecycle, I’d argue that the existence of a new game as big as a Prime sequel is good to remind people of. Haven’t touched my Switch in a while, but will likely be picking it up again for Zelda and Prime.

fpslem,

With a 2025 release, is may not even come out for Switch, it may release on Switch 2/successor.

emb,

Yeah, somewhat agree.

It’s great just to see it exist. And not every game needs to reinvent the wheel, especially when the series hasn’t had a game in 15 years.

But by the end of it, I was kinda left wanting some new hook.

Sylux showing up was a cool moment though. I didn’t expect them to honor that tease from Prime 3, and I appreciate it.

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

It’s great just to see it exist. And not every game needs to reinvent the wheel, especially when the series hasn’t had a game in 15 years.

Plus it’s a MetroidVania. Well, kinda the MetroidVania, or half of it. Trying too much with it would feel weird IMO because I’d want the two grandfathers to focus more on the central tenets, not some inventive genre-spinoffs.

catalyst,
@catalyst@lemmy.world avatar

In retrospect yeah. I was very excited just to see a trailer at all. After sitting with it for a while I’m kinda like, that’s it? To me it looks exactly like the recent Metroid Prime remaster (which to be fair I did really like).

I wonder if the reveal of the big baddie was intended to carry more weight than it ultimately did.

Still amped for this game anyway.

brsrklf,

The reveal wasn’t a complete surprise though.

It was hinted that guy would return in MP3’s ending, and apparently in Federation Force too (I haven’t played that one, but of course the reveal has been floating around).

Sure, it was still kind of hidden, but for those who recognized him at all, chances are they’d knew that too.

The trailer certainly failed at making his apparition exciting in any case.

petrol_sniff_king,

The trailer certainly failed at making his apparition exciting in any case.

I… completely disagree, but you know, whatever.

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

My personal view is that I rather have more traditional gameplay than upgrade trees and whatnot.

OpenPassageways,

They did great with Metroid Dread, putting a new spin on an old classic.

I have some faith that they won’t just be rehashing an old formula and that this “Beyond” aspect will have some gameplay twists.

This trailer seems meant to reassure those of us who have been waiting decades for a true successor to Prime that “yes, in fact this is it”.

I expect we will see more trailers as it gets closer, teasing some of the new story and gameplay innovations once they are more polished.

doggle,

I’m cautiously optimistic, but prime is made by a completely different developer than dread so there’s no guarantees, unfortunately

RabbitMix,

yeah this was one of my most anticipated games, until I saw this trailer and noticed the gameplay looks completely unchanged, now all my interest has disappeared.

Grass, do gaming w Hi-Rez CEO Claims Valve Is Overpowered | Cold Take (11:38)

unlike nearly every other company in existence in any industry, they actually earned their position. It would be nice if they gave a bigger cut to devs, sure, but literally nothing is stopping devs from going on multiple platforms. I am also more forgiving of that due to their contributions to linux gaming, especially now that windows is continuing to go bonkers even after they reached the point that I could no longer tolerate it.

I only buy off steam, gog, and itch.io for some indie stuff as the rest are a terrible experience. And there’s the other part, other platforms need to be good for anyone to want to use them, because nobody will leave steam for a worse platform unless gabe dies and the supposed fuckery prevention plan fails and they go corporate and get an EA approved ceo. Even then it would likely be a slow burn like twitter and reddit. gog and itch have the minimalist store covered so even that is a hurdle. Maybe epic execs can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and figure out how not to suck, then people might use them for more than just hoarding free games they will likely never play.

Remember how it took several years for EA to figure out how to let you put more than one item in your shopping cart? LOL

Grass,

I only remember the ea desktop app bugging out and having a terrible time trying to play with friends in multiplayer games

Lipriv30,

Check out zoom games.

Grass,

unless you mean zoom the chat with your coworkers thing, I can’t find it.

Lipriv30,

I’m confused about what you’re saying. I think you want this: https://www.zoom-platform.com/

Grass,

even if I search ‘zoom platform’ its like the 7th result after zoom the video conferencing software. just the sad state of the internet these days. anyway I found it now and I’ll check it out after work.

danc4498, do games w Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Announcement Trailer

Some serious halo vibes. Are all the prime games like that?

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Visually maybe but not gameplay wise. They are very much Metroidvanias (that genre isn’t called that by chance) where you collect gear to open up the maps more and more and shoot aliens on the way.

I really loved Prime 3 on the Wii. One of the few shooters that played well on there. I got the trilogy when that was ported but got stuck somewhere in the first game. Was too proud to look up a walkthrough.

morphballganon,

Halo is more “figuring out how to defeat this room of enemies IS the puzzle” whereas Metroid’s puzzles are platforming and figuring out how to apply this new item to the areas you’ve already visited, and there just happen to also be enemies to fight.

danc4498,

This trailer definitely looked more halo then.

catloaf,

Probably because looking around a room doesn’t make a good trailer.

They actually went and made an official english version for Investigations 2. Neat.

I think that with that, every Ace Attorney game is now playable outside Japan.

Cadeillac,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

I’m so excited. Somehow I ended up starting with Miles Edgeworth and fell in love, but I didn’t finish it. Reading makes me sleepy. Maybe I’ll try to finish the first collection while I wait

VaultBoyNewVegas,

Would be nice to see a new entry. I’ve been dying to see Apollo learn the truth about Trucy since finishing the second Apollo game.

Katana314,

I hate to say this, but I doubt that will ever happen.

It’s the ‘Kingdom Hearts’ issue. When you build on a plot thread across multiple games, you devalue a number of entries as a result. People want the modern convenience and superior design of recent releases, but also don’t want to be left out of central information. It’s why it’s hard to get people into the Trails series. To Ace Attorney’s credit, something they’ve done right in their games is avoid spoiling the central culprit of past games in future ones, even going so far as to only reference vague turnouts of past cases.

It really, really doesn’t help that a large number of people consider AJ:AA to be one of the least satisfying games in the series (in part only because they almost all hit a high bar). So if anyone were to skip a game, that might be it.

Katana314, do games w Ace Attorney Investigations Collection - Reveal Trailer

There’s going to be a bunch of confusion abound in fan discussions, as each of the characters appearing in this game get different names from the fan translation.

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah that’s the point of the video.

He’s not wrong, Valve does have a lot of power over the PC gaming market. Worryingly so. But Hi-Rez of all possible asshole companies with an asshole boss should be very very quiet about such subjects.
