Metroid,like Contra should stay in the 2nd demension.

Well there's a reason why Metroid Fusion (and now Zero Mission) were made.

it looks quite a bit worse than Shattered Soldier, and SS looked pretty damn shitty to begin with. :rolleyes:

He seemed to imply that the Appaloosa games were a good handbook of "DO NOT do it this way" for them :)

Well, maybe the character models looked more like mannequins than anything that you would expect from a PS2, but otherwise the graphics looked fine to me. Shattered Soldier probably didn't have much of a budget to begin with.

I don't think it looks that bad.

I'm sure if there had been any need for such things they would've been in there. Although you're right, Prime didn't do the 2D games justice per se - it was ten times better then all of them.

Was there bigger screenshots posted? I'm wondering because the only real difference between the two that I could imagine would be detail level and the screens I saw were too small to tell if the textures were worse then SS. Looks on par with the prior PS2 game to me.

There was a need for such things, it is because it was a Metroid game! I'm done hijacking the thread here but I leave you with this. You think MP is 10X better than any 2D Metroid? Time will tell, let's see what everyone thinks of Prime in 10 years. I'm sure it won't be on ANY top 100 of all time list, and it sure as hell won't be #1 on any if it did make it.
