Metroid Prime 2: Echoes RE: News

OK, I would post this up as news, put I'm not allowed to put screens up (Damn you Tempo!! )

Metroid Prime Echoes has some more screens released and news about the game. Some of you may already know all of it, don't have a go at me, this is for the benefit for people that don't know.

Remember that guy 'shooting' at Samus in the grey armour? He's not an enemy. He's part of the Galactic Federation Troopers, and the main reson why Samus is on the new planet is to round these guys up and fight with them.

The planet Samus is on is called Aether, which, like A Link To The Past, has Light and Dark worlds. Samus trvels between the worlds through massive portals.

The screw attack is bac, letting Samus gain as much height as she wants, while destroying all enemies on the way up.

The spider ball will be used a lot more in the sequel, used to escape. Rumours are that you can use the Spider Ball almost anywhere. There are now cannons that will shoot Morph-Ball Samus across rooms to new areas.

^^^Phew! Considering I have a broken computer (again) I think that's pretty good!

What do you all think (on the news, not on my writing skill )

Cool, I knew all of that anyway. But thanks all the same...however they have just released some official art, wanna see anyone?

Sounds Halosih since you can fight with those grey armour dudes. Sounds good though, taking a leaf out of Lttp's book.

How is haloish. OMG those grey things are Luminoths (there are other grey things but those are space pirates)!!! They look a tonne better than halos enemies (halo is a good game though). Metroids enemies are as original as you can get!

I ment the part where Rob said where you fight alongside the gray armour guys, Haloish cause Masterchief= Samus, Marines= Gray armoured dude.

hopefully the new metroid will have a bit more action than the last one did as it felt a bit lonly it would be good to communcate to the GalacticFed dudes and meet up with them and stuff

I've heard some people comment that having interaction with other people in the game could hurt, as the Metroid series really uses isolation as the theme a lot of the time, but as long as interaction is limited to certain areas and times in the game, it could actually increase the sense of isolation, as you are much more likely to feel the sence of isolation if you have experienced 'social' interations too; you can see what you are missing, though I have no in-depth details about the game...

More action would be great. Very tasty art of Dark Samus by the way.

Any news on Mother brain and the space pirates and metroid involvement?
I mean metroids have featured in every single game.

Yes it does look a lot more action packed, and story driven such as Fusion. I think the bad guys most consist of the Ing and Dark Samus (metroid prime). For some reason the space pirates don't look as if they are that significant in the game. About the galactic feds, it would be great to fight iwht them in certain areas, and then you get isolated again.
GTG to sleep, cyas

Halo who??? Metroid allll the way !!!!

So Dark Samus is still knocking about? Right that's good to know, was afraid the Fusion-esque plot would be lost. Which would be awful as that plot was great!

Is it just me or does the video's linked above kinda make it look like a Halo re-make . #3 at the start, alients jumping at u, loads of ships and the whole scenery . Halo is a great game but i love Sammy so much more

Also in Metroid 2, i couldnt tell much in the movies but it looked like it..

Do they have that wierd fusion gel crap that floats around after killing a enemy and if you dont catch it, re-spawns a enemy, cos i god so hope not, that pissed me off

wo33er, there is an edit button that you can use to make changes to your post.

no, there will not be the floating X paracite.

Well im likeing everything about the new Metroid game looks to be an action paked sequel with lots more replay value with the multiplayer mode!

OMG!! The second link has my favorite song playing. The song when you land on tallon IV. That song is the greatest.

Na, MP 2 looks nothing like Halo...by the way IGN has just released some hands on impressions on the multiplayer, sounds which could be fun.

I'm in love with the Metroid series after being intoduced to it last year, and this is cool! Comparisons between Halo and MP really shouldn't be drawn with the gameplay, since MP is far more puzzle based and aims to be more immersive for one-player. Halo (I think) is far more action based and fast-paced.
