Metroid games should never have cutscenes (that are more than a few still images with text overlaid).

ngl this looks like it’ll be pretty sick — a 4.5 star romhack at the very least
(srsly tho it’s funny to me to see how a good number of these new mechanics have appeared in romhacks before)
should probably preorder it soon

The Symphony of the Night dash in the trailer feels like some great shift in the balance of canonical metroidvania/search action mechanics.
The ‘Vania side is assimilating the Metroid side after all these years.

I don’t mind all the neon & candy colors necessarily but why would you call a game that looks and sounds like this DREAD

Pathologically honest admission of the emotion they foresee the announcements instilling.

feeling slightly vindicated in saying when the original trailer dropped that folks were overreacting a little to the lack of environmental variety. I do think some of the areas in this new trailer look genuinely pretty cool (lightning and rain outside! a resplendent not-decaying palace!). come to think of it, returning to 60fps will help bring something of the feeling in the older games that was missing in SR as well.
I still think that nintendo and mercury steam have everything else to prove based on the last 15 years of metroid. I’ll play it and hope they tone down the weird parry/melee focus at least.

I’m put off by mecha bird person as another consistent antagonist. I liked the EMIs being impersonal and I don’t need more scaffolding on Chozo lore.
New aliens! I loved the moth people in Echoes.

Yeah, we’re going to get talked at/told a lot about it, aren’t we…
This game being forcefully talkative is not something I am worried about. I mean, one of the first things they confirmed was that the Adam convos would be optional, and for whatever faults you can pin on SR it at least had the sense to remain wordless (even in it’s explanation of Mr. Epsilon Eagle’s backstory here).

Kraid is cool, i like him. And there’s a squid? i think i gotta buy this now. ALso this trailer is much better despite the annoying lookin bird guy stuff
probably time for a dedicated dread thread, given that the game is out in the open now
I still do not trust MercurySteam
