The Gamespot E3 showcase has a bunch of indie games I hadn't seen at all this week, seems pretty neat.

Xalavier Nelson's next game is a Max Payne-ish werewolf noir game "El Paso Elsewhere"

Yeah looks awesome. She just better not be taking orders like she did in Other M, or there's going to be some :toughguy:

Lol considering they did not even mention Other M in that Metroid Dread - Development History video I think we're good. Hopefully ADAM will probably be her AI buddy to help explain things to new players/interact with some machines.

I love Nintendo just preemptively going "Adam does not give orders to Samus. He points out opportunities, and Samus can make her own decisions about where she goes and when."

Is he from Other M? Cause I never played it but she keeps talking about this dude in Fusion.

Fusion was such a good game with the “there’s something you can’t hurt yet stalking you” dynamic. I’m glad they’re seemingly using it again.

In Other M, you don't lose your weapons and suit in a conveniently placed accident, no, your upgrades are just disabled and Samus has to ask Adam for permission to enable those upgrades.

Fusion was the first game with Adam, In Other M he is a bigger character that gives you permission before you can use abilities.

Spoiler for Adam: In fusion you find out he is Samus's former CO who's brain was downloaded into a computer and made into an AI after he died. Other M is where he dies saving Samus or something, I vaguely remember that game.

It's such a dumb system, IIRC the Varia Suit doesn't get activated until after you ran around the lava area for a good bit and Samus is fighting a giant lava worm.

It might be factually true that Asteroids is the most anticipated game for the Intellivision Amico. But they omitted the "Uhh.... I dunno" part when they replied "Uh... I dunno, Asteroids?"

There are so many issues with Metroid: Other M beyond its just aggressive destruction of Samus that people who focus in on the story for why Other M sucks are not giving you a complete picture on just how bad it is as a total package.

Oh that’s weird because I’ve played one, super and fusion and felt the whole time like there was a game between I missed. She talks about her CO so much I assumed he was an established character.

Knowing now that the Metroid 2D well has been so dry, I’m glad something new is finally coming out. Fusion was so good for a GBA game.

"The Hero of the Age..."

The hero of all ages
A decent E3 overall. Devolver had an enjoyable presentation and I can't wait to play Demon Throttle. Elden Ring looks promising. So does Back 4 Blood, Salt and Sacrifice, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. Age of Empires IV makes me want to build a new PC sooner rather than later. Hopefully Metal Slug Tactics gets a console release down the road. I wish Ubisoft would allow another Child of Light to be made, but the new Mario+Rabbids will be good and Rival Riders looks kinda interesting. Halo: Infinite had a much better showing this year and Battlefield is looking to get back on track with this new one.

And Nintendo had a surprise or two up it's sleeve after all. Not only is Splatoon 3 in development, but Metroid Dread actually looks really good. A new WarioWare and an Advance Wars re-release were icing on the cake.

quote:

The X is a terrifyingly lethal parasite that takes over organic creatures, mimicking them afterward based on their genetic information.

It once infected me too. But my life was saved, thanks to a vaccine created from the X's natural enemy: Metroids. Not only that, it made me into the only being capable of fighting this creature that threatens the galaxy. After a deadly battle with the SA-X, a copy of me at my full capabilities, I finally succeeded in wiping out the X, along with the planet SR388.
However...

One day, the Galactic Federation received video footage from an unknown source indicating that the X still lived. The Federation dispatched a special unit consisting of seven E.M.M.I. robots to the remote planet ZDR, believed to be the source of the transmission.

Soon after arriving on ZDR, the whole unit mysteriously vanished.

Does the X truly still exist? And just what is happening on ZDR? It's up to me, the only one immune to the X parasite, to go find out...

SMT5 is looking great

Metroid - I don’t really love Mercury steam stuff but it looked not too bad?

Also Tekken in smash is most exciting because of the incredible soundtrack choices they’ll have

I wasn't that impressed with Advance Wars aesthetic from the direct, but the Treehouse play session really won me over on the art style.

It's just switching back to the Japanese naming system, none of which were called Castlevania

I mean that was a bit and there was no way they were going to show the 5 minutes of gameplay from Gloomwood but it would've blown everything else out of the water. The weirder one was New Blood had a shorter Fallen Aces trailer but I don't think that was shown just put up on their YouTube.

Never played Other M but everything I've heard about it makes me wonder how the gently caress it got made.
