[Wii] Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Wow, using the grapple beam for offense with the Wiimote is awesome, and even though 1up wasn't impressed, the Ridley fight seemed really cool too.

I hope this makes launch.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Am I the only one that's seriously put off by the gun leading the camera in Wii FPSs? When I first heard about it when they were talking about Red Steel, I thought it was a cool idea. However, seeing it in gameplay was disheartening. It just looks, unnatural, which is NOT something I want to see on the Wii.

NO ONE does that in real life, and even though your sight and gun movement isn't perfectly syncronised IRL like in other FPS', it just looks bad. I hope that I get used to this, especially since I'm REALLY looking forward to Prime 3 and the Wii otherwise (some of the ideas they have for Prime 3 look completely awesome, and I'm in love with the idea of new grapple beam functionality). Maybe you'll be able to control the level of "cam lag" like you do with sensitivity in the current gen?

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, I have a couple of ideas, although I'm not sure if they're any better or worse honestly. First I believe that a lower amount of camera lag would help immensly. I see Samus getting shot by some off screen creature while the player helplessly stands there waiting for the camera to let him turn around. When pointing off screen the lag should be removed ENTIRELY.

The other option has its own problems. You could restrict the uses of the motion sensing of the analog attachement, by making it your camera. You could look around with the movements of the attachement. It would be sort of like if you could use triple analog controls. This is unappealing because of how complicated it may be.

ADDITIONAL THOUGHT: How cool would a wireless Wii headset be that could detect motion? In addition to normal headset functions and a microphone, it could have allowed you to "look" around by tilting your head in the appropriate angle. THAT would have been intuitive and cool.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm sorry, it's just how long the people are sitting there waiting for the camera to shift that bugs me.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

There's references in the story to the other 2, certainly, and yes, Dark Samus is still around, but the game can stand on it's own. Although, I'd probably say less so than the other two; simply because this is the most story driven installment, although most/all of it is picked up pretty easily.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Agreed, and if you play just 3, you won't be playing the best in the series. So suck it up, realize the controls don't suck, and revel in the glory of one of the best 2D to 3D transitions in history.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I think it's the shortest Prime, but it could have also just been me getting better at games.

FELIPE NO
