BeefJack: "What you have at heart in Other M is a 3D side-scrolling view, but the camera angle will switch automatically depending on the room you’re in. If a corridor turns, then the camera might switch to being behind Saums’ back, for example. You can – and will have to at times – slip into the first-person view as well.
While that all seems to work brilliantly, I was left a little concerned about the controls."
With Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty coming soon, it's time to look back at the developer's greatest triumphs...and one oddball favorite.
There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.
I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.
Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.
originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.
Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".
Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime reflects on Metroid: Other M and his initial high hopes for the game.
Yeah we all loved how you took a stoic badass and turned her into a whiny shrew. All those writers should be sacked.
VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "The early-mid 2000s saw something of a golden age for Metroid games. After an eight year hiatus, Metroid burst back onto the scene in dramatic fashion. Largely buoyed by the critical and financial success of Metroid Prime (at least, relative to other Metroid releases), Metroid saw a whopping six new titles between 2002 and 2007, as well as one rather bizarre pinball spin-off that wound up being much better than it had any right to be. Metroid had never been this popular before."
Never though the day would come where I say this but I’d be fine with having every 2D Metroid remade the way Dread plays.
This guys "impressions" are null as soon as he said this game is essentially a side scroller, and is similar to Shadow Complex. Not true. Just got this game last night (yes I have a copy reserved and will be buying on launch day as well), and this game really isn't a side scroller at all (which is what I was expecting). This game is really much more a 3D game. About 95% of the environments and rooms so far have been entirely 3D exploration, with a dynamic camera thats changes accordingly.
I've been surprised because I really thought this game would be essentially a 2D Metroid, but I've come to find out thats its really a 3D exploration third person Metroid game. Oh, and the controls are not bad. It really doesn't take much time at all to get used to. And if it does take you a while to get used to the controls, then you're just an awful gamer. It's really not bad at all.
