![]() Metroid Prime Remastered is built on the game that the original team members created, and their names are just as important to see listed as any others. Yvojf9f9Mq- Zoid Kirsch February 11, 2023įollowing Kirsch's Tweet, Metroid Prime tech lead Jack Mathews chimed in, calling the lack of credit "shameful." The fact of the matter is, Metroid Prime Remastered would not have existed without the work of people like Mathews and Kirsch in the first place. I worked with so many amazing people on the game and everyone's name should be included in the remaster, not just a single card like this. However, Save Stations and elevators leading to other zones are out of the way most of the time, and backtracking through already cleared rooms can be very tedious.While many studios did amazing work on the remaster, I'm let down Metroid Prime's Remaster does not include the full original game credits. Had I decided to backtrack and find a Save Station, instead of pushing forward, I could have avoided that from happening. Early on, I lost two and a half hours of progress after some turrets annihilated me at Magmoor Caverns. In that way, it is not too different from a classic side-scrolling Metroid game. Most enemies only respawn after leaving a room and wandering for a bit, and resources can be scarce. But after just a few hours, I caved in and realized that the game is very disorienting if you’re not using it, especially if you’re not familiarized with the layout of Tallon IV.Ĭombat can be challenging at times, and some Game Overs are bound to happen. I was expecting the hints to feel cheap, and thought I would do well without them. If you deactivate this option in the settings menu, the game won’t ever tell you where to go. I got distracted exploring and ended up having to backtrack to obtain it. It never reaches a point where it feels grim or gratuitous, but the writing doesn’t skirt around some gruesome details regarding the Space Pirates, how awful they are, and the way some of them meet their end.įor instance, I initially missed the Charge Beam upgrade that you can get early on in the Chozo Ruins. It really surprised me how dark and foreboding most of the entries, lore, and the overall narrative of the game are. ![]() You do this by using your scan visor and checking text entries, Space Pirate logs, and Chozo diaries. Metroid Prime Remastered doesn’t offer much more in the way of motive, instead relying on the player choosing to explore the mystery of what happened in Tallon IV. Otherwise, the game throws you right into the action. ![]() ![]() Some light exposition is available if the player enables the new narration setting, previously exclusive to the original Japanese and European GameCube release. The game opens with a short cutscene of Samus Aran landing on a Space Pirate vessel. During her mission, Samus discovers that the remaining Space Pirates are using Phazon to experiment on their soldiers and, with the titular Metroids, trying to create a dangerous army to conquer the galaxy and transcend life. She arrives at Tallon IV, a former Chozo colony that was hit long ago by a meteorite containing a dangerous and enigmatic substance called Phazon. After the destruction of Zebes in Metroid: Zero Mission, Samus Aran sets out to pursue the remains of the Space Pirates she fought. Metroid Prime Remastered is set between the events of Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid: Samus Returns, both remakes of Metroid and Metroid II: Return of Samus. ![]()
