@SamoStudios WHERE ARE THESE GAMES (if they're on the web)?! HOW CAN I PLAY THEM?! HOW LONG UNTIL YOU APPLY TO NINTENDO?! That last one's a joke, but if you know about when/if DO TELL.
I don't know how I didn't know of this and the album until yesterday. Everyone's all about Zelda right now that they practically forget that Metroid exists and actually has it's 25th Anniversary this year as well.
@SamoStudios I personally believe Metroid deserves more credit. It's my second favorite Nintendo-only series, and Super Metroid is my favorite of the series. Long live Metroid! ^v^
This and The Crimson Depths are two of my favorite songs from Harmony of a Hunter. AWESOME JOB. I love how you take them from a 16-bit(?) style to a full Orchestra with Choir.
This is beautiful man, I've been a fan since Super Metroid was released, unfortunately need felt the desire to play the original Dx But I must say you picked my favorite track from the entire series!! With out a doubt you did it justice and more. Keep up the amazing work!
Amazing man! The animation makes me want an updated Super Metroid for sure. Super Metroid has been my all time favorite game ever since I was 8. Good, good stuff. And the arrangement was superb as well! Nintendo, hire this guy!
just WOoooWWWW I first heard the song (and now have listened to it like... 7 times today lol) and then came across your video! Amazing job with everything! The epic nostalgia brought tears to my eyes
You should work as a music composer for Nintendo. Awesome job you did here; not only with this fantastic song but also with the music video that fits the song just perfectly in my opinion.
Hehe well considering this one took half a year, donations would certainly help! :P I also have a lot of other projects to work on, and being only one guy it just takes a long time to make stuff
Did you use adobe creature creator with after effects or another system because it looks a little like after effects on the animation. Nice work and damn this song is good.
Absolutely amazing! I have been playing Metroid for 3 years now, and even now I still get an awsome thrill each time I play it :D. Great music and animation :D.
lol :D. For quiet a while I didn't know how fun Metroid really was; I had heard of it, but didn't know what it was about. Then one summer I decided to look into it (in 2009). I heard the Prime Trilogy was coming out, and thought for 50.00 bucks, why not. I now own every Metroid game :D. It really is the coolest series ever made :D!
Thanks, yeah if I had like... a year, I could have made it full length hehe. Maybe next time. Everything in the vid is actually relatively low-poly, modeled as if it could work in a Metroid Prime game. The real focus was the lighting and atmosphere, which I spent a lot more time on
It is soo exiting to see the classic Prime 2 suit instead of the Other M one. No offense Team Ninja, but Retro does a better Varia suit than you. Just saying.
This animation is incredible! It just begging for a Super Metroid remake! On a sidenote I have just listened the Harmomny of a Hunter album and your remix of kraid's theme is absolutely outstanding. The best remix I've heard, since M: ZM. Keeo uo the good work! :D
@purplecowadoom Honestly, I was frustrated by Retro changing the design without explanation. It looks awesome, but how do you explain it? Her suit changes into this awesome looking Federation-y design with the extra green highlights and cool visor and then BAM, it changes back for no raisin in Metroid 2. Other M's design would have been nice if they would have just followed Super's design more closely while changing a few things that didn't appear in 2D. Then there might be some pattern.
Yo SamoStudios, any future on making more CG sequences maybe based on the older games, adaptate characters that have never truly been in 3D? Maybe adaptated some fight sequences from the NES, era?
Hehe yeah, well I had a time limit with this, and it already took several months just to create what is here, plus I was also composing the Ending Suite for the album as well during that time. But I'm glad you liked it! xD
Wow, excellent opening cinematic... almost exactly how I'd always pictured it (the water cascading into the shaft is a nice touch). Tons of work obviously went into this... congrats for that, and for the album's reception. I didn't manage to snag a physical copy, but goes to show how successful it's been!
@SuperWunderwaffen ...What? That doesn't make any sense at all. I was asking why he used her model from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (or maybe Prime 3) instead of her original Metroid Prime model, because they both look very different and her Metroid Prime model is the one that looks more like Super Metroid. Supposedly her Other M appearance is the one that's supposed to be her Super Metroid suit in 3D, but that looks even less like it.
I used the only model I could find lol >_< If I had time to model her from scratch I would have made the Super Metroid standard suit. But I only had a few months to work on it before the album launched, and the focus was creating the world, not Samus
@1upD Maybe he used it because it's the best model. The one from Prime 1 and the one from Echoes, Hunters, and Corruption are the same except for the visor, which has a "crest" shape in the sequels. Prime 1 just had a dull, flat visor. The crest shape introduced in Echoes made it look much better. It is THE true model for the Varia and Gravity Suits.
@SuperWunderwaffen The differences are very subtle. The helmet and the lights are different. That version is not always the 'true' model. I don't think it's justified to say that the design in Metroid Prime and Super Metroid is 'non-canon' just because the other suit is ' best'. It's hard to say. Other M seems to assert that it's design was 'canon'. It's really a matter of interpretation, unfortunately. I'd have liked to see more concrete reasons for design changes, however subtle
@1upD I kind of felt like Nintendo/Team Ninja changed the suit as some silent way of discrediting Retro's design. I felt like it was like they were saying,"That wasn't Japanese so we have to change it." Kind of ticked me off honestly.
There should be a metroid game using this guy's animations and the music from this album. That would be truly awesome.
