    Was anyone else hoping for more of an evolution in gameplay? It looks like it plays exactly like Metroid Prime 2 but that game is 20 years old.

    I really want this game to do well but that trailer is making me worried.

      In retrospect yeah. I was very excited just to see a trailer at all. After sitting with it for a while I’m kinda like, that’s it? To me it looks exactly like the recent Metroid Prime remaster (which to be fair I did really like).

      I wonder if the reveal of the big baddie was intended to carry more weight than it ultimately did.

      Still amped for this game anyway.

        The reveal wasn’t a complete surprise though.

        It was hinted that guy would return in MP3’s ending, and apparently in Federation Force too (I haven’t played that one, but of course the reveal has been floating around).

        Sure, it was still kind of hidden, but for those who recognized him at all, chances are they’d knew that too.

        The trailer certainly failed at making his apparition exciting in any case.
