Honestly, I really can't stand the HUD, there's barely any way to tell how much damage an enemy is doing, and it just doesn't look very Metroid, I'm really hoping they try to go back to numeric values for energy and missiles.
@AlexRmetroid Probably because you suck, I dunno, makes sense to me. If all you can do is bash on a new fan-made Metroid game that looks pretty promising, you can't possibly be making very good videos.
@AlexRmetroid Oh man, you sound so cool right now. I'm not looking at anything, bucko, with you sounding like a total big man. If you're making something big yourself, then why come over to someone else's project and make fun of it? Grow some damn balls and learn to have some respect for other people. And maybe some humility, because you obviously think a bit to highly of yourself. AM2R would be hot on my list if it weren't just recycling Zero Mission tiles and sprites, one of me least favorite.
Yeah, you go argue, try to prove something to me. I'd argue too, but it seems like I need to give a shit about you first... BUT I will answer 1 thing though, "probably because you suck", then I try to prove I don't suck, and there you go, a flame in the face. You should think about it.
@AlexRmetroid All your game is is a few new sprites, you're still using the entirety of the old Metroid engine, sprites, barely anything is really your work, as opposed to Minitroid being made of all-new sprites and a custom engine running the game. Plus, your annotations during the game about how much you suck at Metroid, which you do, quite a lot, aren't funny.
So, you're just making half-assed "remakes" of a game that really doesn't need remaking in the first place.
Dude, those aren't games, those are metroid ENGINES. ENGINES, for other people to make their own games out of. If you look at metroid zero, that was just a test to see how far my M:1 engine can go. Helped out a lot of people actually. (BTW who said they are supposed to be funny? They're supposed to be RETARDED not funny)
@AlexRmetroid Well, they are pretty retarded, so I guess you've got that going for you. Well, I guess all I can say is that you're videos won't get any more than 3 or 4 views, while Minitroid will get many more than that. Not only does whatever the hell you're making suck, but your comments, and your attitude sucks as well. That might actually be why you're videos aren't getting famous, you might want to think about that.
Lmao, yeah, like you're doing any better. Suck? LOL! Retarded? ROFL!
Dude, all I know is that people love it, use it, and well, they really represent the game they are based off of. You standing out here saying that I suck, yeah, back it up with good reason, I bet you can't. All you can do is tell me my videos don't get much views and that I suck. Yet I've created much more than you ever have
It's also EXTREMELY funny because you have no videos yourself... And here you are, showing off to me, trying to argue. Get in some sort of position here >_>
@AlexRmetroid I have 8 subs, and I haven't uploaded a single video, I'd say I'm doing pretty good actually.
Hey man, if it makes you feel better to show off your e-peen to random people across the internet, go right ahead, but honestly, I can't say I'm impressed by the seemingly self-conscious and needy brat I see through every one of your messages. You're only hurting yourself by keeping this going, because you sure as hell aren't proving anything to me.
@AlexRmetroid Well, I actually have quite a bit on you, you've resorted to name-calling, and I'm chill as can be. Talk about self-esteem issues, you're basically stalking me, and you have no real way of expressing yourself other than being extremely emotional and quick to anger.
You actually started it by coming to another person's project, bashing it for no real reason, and then complaining that your videos only get 3 views on average.
And your engine is no less pixelated than this is.
Yeah, that's my way of expressing myself. Problem?
And you're the one who rubbed it in further, so if I were you I'd shut up, but hey I think we're in the same position here so let's just both shut up and gtfo
@AlexRmetroid You're trying so hard to be the mature one, and yet the hardass at the same time, it doesn't work like that. You started this, you know this, otherwise you're just a complete narcissist. I don't have a problem with how you express yourself, I just have a problem with how you express yourself to me. Only an idiot looks for a fight, and obviously you were just raring to go. If you don't like the game, and just can't let yourself go without saying something, do so discreetly.
Who said I was trolling? Only someone idiotic enough to not be able to grasp the concept of an argument would be foolish enough to call the other a troll. Incase you're too stupid to understand, arguing ! = trolling.
Wow, I am impressed. You should make this as an iPhone app and a computer game, because I experienced more Metroid out of this then that other M garbage.
Where can I buy the music?? When will this be finished? You need to teach Nintendo how a proper Metroid should be done. This is already miles ahead of the dreadful game released on Wii that they slapped the name "Metroid" on.
I don't think Nintendo can C&D it. It barely resembles Metroid. It does not use sprites / music from other Metroid games nor simple palette swaps or something.
Oh my G*d, I love Metroid! Where can I get this game? Is this for PC or what? Nintendo needs to pick this up and put it on DSi Ware, STAT! I smell money maker.
I really can't approve of this. Even if the gameplay is fun and reasonably true to the official games, the aesthetics are so far separated from it that it no longer feels like Metroid. As long as you want to do something different, you might as well do something really different and make a game like Cave Story.
Kazooker, thank you for your ingenious input. It's made an enormous impact on our free, fandom inspired project, and I come bearing this key piece of wisdom just for you as a result, because you truly deserve to know:
@Kazooker It looks like Metroid, it plays like Metroid, it sounds like Metroid. So your well thought out conclusion is that it's not like Metroid? Yeah, either you've never played the first 3 Metroid games or you're fucking blind, either way you shouldn't comment further. Also why shouldn't they (/whoever's making this) make a Metroid game that is different from the others?
@Kazooker I feel that it's more accurate (aesthetically) to the series than some of the newer games that have been coming out. I miss the Metroid games where Samus was a strong female protagonist, instead of the busty blonde bimbo she is now. This style reminds me of a better time...
Beta here, answering all your Bit based question needs!
Yes, it is in a different resolution. Aside from the fact at the same resolution, it would conquer the screen with it's size (and actually become a mechanical obstruction) it's also to remind you that you're playing a game, and the scaling of what is 8x8 sized sprites is quite intentional.
looks nice, but its true that the screen shakes too much when anything hits something or something explodes, just imagine a screen with a whole bunch of bugs, it'll give me a headche
also at least some clues to where the hidden tanks would be nice, for example in any metroid game if i get to a secret room with nothing inside, its logical that there is some hiden item, but how could i guess there is a hidden tank in the corner left to the door, its not like i can ultra bomb the whole screen yet
@samus4561 as you can see , IF you can ... this is a fan project for METROID for the NES , wich didn't have diagonal aiming BECASE it doesn't need one :D . The game's better this way :D
This is really spectacular. One complaint, though, is that the screen shakes too much when you damage enemies/blow up blocks. Tremors of that magnitude should be reserved for blowing things up with super missiles/power bombs/killing bosses.
@genesisSOC Wouldnt that be awesome! I was thinking, maybe next Doc could make a 2D metroid type game with all the original metroid items and abilities, but also maybe a few Other M type melee attacks too! That would be awesome!
Having never played Cave Story, I can't help but get a Blaster Master vibe from seeing this.
