haha i cant believe you can say that.. if halo 1 and 2 werent THAT good (which is not the case) then why would halo 3 be getting so much hype.. i havent even played online halo and i think its 1 of the best games ever made (yes i do have super smash bros and i do LOVE super smash and still play it all the time but just not as good as halo).. so please dont say halo is "overrated"

Halo is probably the best console FPS since Goldeneye. However, lets not forget that it's incredibly outdated when compared to PC FPS's. It's just simply rubbish. Halo 2 or Half Life 2? Well I wonder.... And if your talking multiplayer, Halo 2 vs Battlefield 2? Again, a complete no brainer. The Halo hype annoys me. I do not see how it can be considered anything other than average when compared to PC shooters.

The point with Metroid is, perhaps it could change this. It's fairly redundant to play FPS's on ANY console atm if you have a PC. They're simply worse. Metroid has a chance to change this. I think the Wii controllers have the opportunity to provide a true alternative to keyboard and mouse. They will never be as easy to use, as accurate or allow you to become do proficient a headshot machine with. But - they may feel a lot better, make you feel as if your really holding the gun. If that's the case and the controls are tight it could be revolutionary. I've got hopes but really for all of this to materialise it does need an online multiplayer mode. Without that the "revolution" would be crucially incomplete.

As for SSMB, yes of course it's anti-revolutionary. I mean for god sakes; if they changed that game in any major way there would be absolute uproar on these boards.

It wont 'revolutionize' FPS's. They already have a lot of games that use the same thing.

Its only redundant to play Xbox games if you have a PC.

Errr what do you mean by that?
A lot of games that use a Wii Remote or something similar for aim? Name me one.... Time Crisis is not comparable - it's on rails, which is something completely different.

GamerCon · 06-07-2007, 12:58 PM

Well theres Far Cry, Medal of Honor, Elebits, Zelda. Its not going to be the first game to do it so it wont be revolutionary. Just to clear it up, im not saying anything bad about it, just saying its not revolutionary. This:

I've never been a fan of shooting games myself, but this..is different. I just couldn't get into Bond games, the controls were too unreal, you know? They just never felt like they fit before, i didn't feel like i was actually shooting.

Probably the dumbest thing i ever heard.

Time Crisis was a fun game though.

Or when a friend comes over. Normal multi gonna be unimpressive? Look, Nintys gotta stay fun while making good use of online. A game with good graphics(which Wii dun have) and good online feels like an empty shell to me without a good solid one player story/mode. Online is good, but dun forget that you should be able to play one player. I only play free online games on my comp F' YOU P2P!!!!!

F' YOU WoW!

One player still rules!!! I do think console online is worth a bit more though and I hope Metroid is online so dun get me wrong. Its just not THE MOST IMPORTANT factor of a game.

Did I say anything about NOT including one player or multiplayer? I didnt think so...

Obviously they are important, but I think you can agree that they are not nearly as important as online gameplay is in this time period

MP3 has all the chance in the world to be "revolutionary". Nintendo needs that killer FPS for the Wii still, and this could very well be it. Far Cry and Red Steel paved the way, but were no where near as good as MP3 looks. Plus, Metroid is the shit in general. I'm a HUGE Halo fan (Play H2 every night on XBOXLIVE), but Metroid is just better in terms of story and gameplay. MP1 had absolutly BEAUTIFUL and well thought out enviorments to travel to and through. Halo has a great story, but I just prefer Metroids story better..something about the atmosphere is just amazing.

I also agree that SSBB is "anti-revoltionary." It's NOTHING DIFFERENT. A bunch of famous 1st and 3rd party characters fighing each other on small worlds based on the characters native enviorments. Woo ****ing hoo. I'm not saying it's not going to be a great game, because it definatly is. It's just not anything new. But also, we don't really NEED anything new with these games. They can continue to use this formula and produce high quality games all they want. And with using WiiConnect24, we can get new levels and other content easy and cheaply, which will keep the game fresh for a LONG time.

I still disagree. With lack of online gameplay, Metroid Prime 3 will impress no one except those of us that played Prime 1 and 2. Why? Simply because NO ONE ELSE WILL BUY IT.

Gamer's these days are not satisfied with one player and multiplayer. They need to know that they are going to get not just weeks or months, but years of gameplay out of a game before they spend their hard-earned cash on it.

Im hoping that MP3 will get the series some hype from non-nintendo/metroid gamers, and then more people will buy MP4, which will be online, and then, and ONLY then, will the series take off as one of the best gaming series' of its generation.

No it doesnt, it cant. Since its already been done it will only have better and smoother controls.

QFT

However, who has said that MP3 isn't going to be online? If SSBB is going to be I don't see why Nintendo wouldn't make MP3 online as well.

LevesqueIsKing · 06-07-2007, 06:42 PM

^nothing has been confirmed, but its safe to say that there will be no online multiplayer.

There is, however, a rumor that mp3 will use wiiconnect24 to allow players to download updates for the game (eg additional maps, weapons, etc.), but imo, this will not keep many people's interest in the game.

If they used wiiconnect24 to update the online multiplayer, however, that would be simply amazing.

WAIT!! HOLD EVERYTHING. STOP TYPING AND LET GO OF THAT MOUSE RIGHT NOW!

Could Ninty use WiiConnect24 to eventually add online gameplay to the game? Would that be too big of an update? I think that this might be what they are planning. They want to add it, but they dont want to delay the game any further, so theyre hoping they can get online running a few months after the game is released.

Thoughts?

I really don't care about your arguments at all, but I feel compelled to add that that was possibly the most ignorant thing I have ever read and you should be ashamed of yourself. With that said, you must be like 9 if you think 1995 is "ancient". As far as I'm concerned, there are no ancient video games because that would require them to be, oh, let's say 2000 year old. Roughly.

Wow, your so cool because you take everything literally.

Go back to second grade and learn how to use sarcasm.

Bullshit. Using that logic, we can just say that NO FPS'S WILL EVER BE REVOLUTIONARY BECAUSE IT"S BEEN DONE BEFORE. Thats a VERY ignorant thing to say.

You know i could've sworn that Metroid Prime 3: Corruption was going to be the last game in the series!!!

Did i miss something?
B/c i didnt know MP4 was coming out!

Yes, you are correct. Metroid Prime is a trilogy. He was simply using MP4 as an example of the game being more successful if it had online, which is a VERY valid and strong agument.

LevesqueIsKing · 06-07-2007, 06:57 PM

All I meant by MP4 was 'the next metroid installment'

There is going to be more metroid games, arent there? I might die if there is no more metroid...

First off, they don't teach sarcasm in second grade. Consequently, revisiting it wouldn't help me at all...
Secondly, I don't take everything literally; and when I do it's usually just to piss people off (see above)
Thirdly, maybe if you understood the functions of proper syntax, grammar, and tone then people would be able to correctly read your writing.

Now, it is not my intention to start some sort of stupid internet English war, so I'm going to drop the subject of your keyboarding inadequacies. Have a nice day.
