Bivotar Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I caught "I Spy" this weekend, and before the previews was a commercial for Metroid Prime. It was AWESOME! The game looks absolutely incredible and they showed a lot of in-game action. I want to get this game badly, but for some reason fps games on consoles (not pc's) make me extremely motion sick. Does this happen to anybody else? I really tried to play Perfect Dark but after a couple times of getting near puking sick, I gave up.

MegaManFan Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I caught "I Spy" this weekend, and before the previews was a commercial for Metroid Prime. It was AWESOME!

Does this happen to anybody else? I really tried to play Perfect Dark but after a couple times of getting near puking sick, I gave up. I know exactly what you mean. The Spyro games on Playstation literally made me queasy. I bought one and couldn't finish it, played the demo on another and gave up when I turned green. I wouldn't say this is true of ALL FP-style games, but it happens more often than I'd like. I guess for better or worse it's partly why I'm still a 2-D retrogamer. BTW I wish I had known you were going! I've been wanting to see I-Spy myself, but my wife's not much of a moviegoer unless it's sappy romance. *sighs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcakus Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 Get a smaller TV, that will help. I used to get headaches, a smaller TV helps quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikau Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 i havent seen the commercial on a movie screen, but i did see it from a streaming video download. it was sweet! and after playing the demo, there is no way in hell that i wont get this game on release day! perfect dark made me a little queazy at first too. rare tried to make it look too good for its own good, and the framerate made the game a little hard to look at. also, Metroid Prime really isnt a shooter. its more of an adventure. think of halflife, but with more environment interaction. in fact, some of halflifes developers are working on Prime! retro studios is loaded with great talent!

sdstuff64 Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 I played the demo of bot hof the new Metroids,and I have to say they are good. I don't know if either are better then Super Metroid,as you only get 10min with each but they are good.I had to get use to the one stick movement in Prime,cause I am so use to using both sticks but it isn't too bad. I know Prime isn't a fps,but it is in the first person for 98% of the game,and you have a gun in which you shoot stuff with.But it's all good.

sdstuff64 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Prime is GameCube only right??? Damnit.. I knew I was going to have to buy one. It's Metroid!Yea it is.Oh well,I guess you get Animal Crossing and PSO too.Those are my fav GC games right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupcakus Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Animal Crossing, Mario SC, and Metroid are my reasons for picking it up. Oh and Mario Party 4, MP is the only game I've ever been able to get my wife to play with me, so it's worth it's weight. PSO will make it to XBox live eventually, so I'll wait for it, it will be much better on XBox anyway. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 I wasn't interested in the FPS Metroid for a while, even after checking it out at Toys R Us. However, having played Metroid Fusion on the GBA, it was just so much damn fun that it has me excited for the GC version 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdstuff64 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 PSO will make it to XBox live eventually, so I'll wait for it, it will be much better on XBox anyway. :-) Yea,you get it free with Xbox Live in Japan!What a rip off!I'm sure it will be sweet,but in the Xbox version do you get ep.II?
