Nintendo Power is still around? Damn... I remember getting that back when I first got my NES. Have issues 1-100 and something somewhere back home... damn

Hi!

Newsflash.

No one gives a fuck if gc or xbox is better. Just play what u wanna play.

Well, at least they can make really round and shiny balls now! Too bad the levels only have 7 polygons, BUT THE BALL IS EXACTLY like real life spheres!

I really think this game should be a 3rd person shooter. It's quite a jump to go from an entire legacy of 2D side-scrollers, to a first-person game. Half the fun in the game is getting cool upgrades to Samus' suit... like that dash attack in the SNES version, or the wall-jumping... but how are you going to see all this cool stuff in first person mode? I want to see Samus jump around and dodge stuff :(

I guess you can switch to 3rd person view when you engage a certain suit upgrade (like the ball)... but I still want to see Samus move around in 3rd person. Oh well.

I just hope the gameplay is good... I hope it's similar to the other Metroid games, in that there is a huge huge map to go around on, and you go from one end of the map to the other... often back tracking and going back to areas when you get a new piece of equipment or weapon. I hope the game isn't some stupid linear FPS game... where you go from one level to the next, finding keys and killing a boss or two. *sigh*

These visuals puts some "evidence" behind the IBM Gekko article on Cube, mhz isn't everything :-)

I thought it was supposed to be 3rd person, and only switching to first person when you go into that combat / helmet view?

I bet Jack loves it when Steve posts this stuff!

it will be funny if this beats xboxs top game halo

That first shot looks very promising indeed.

FIRST POST!?
