Arlo.EXE has stopped working due to his high hype levels

I very much concur with the latter statement!

It comes out a week before mine which makes me know what I’m getting for my birthday 😃😃😄

It's about weak and half after mine, but better late than never :-)

It comes out one day before my birthday. It’s perfect timing!!

Ooh, great point!

Probably, despite the scary feeling, SA-X AI isn't that good, she stop chasing you very easily in Metroid Fusion

@@eduu729 same with the space pirate AI from Zero Mission, it was way too easy to lose them haha

That was my thought, too!! They probably wanted to replicate the feel of scripted SA-X encounters AND bring back open-ended exploration, but it's hard to do both. Now they got the AI to pull it off

@@ArloStuff I wouldn't buy into that idea. Nintendo wanted some nostalgia dollars and nostalgia cred. There's no reality where they couldn't create the "dread" game they wanted with the tech at the time. Don't buy into the BS hype

Thank you so much for this info

I don't know if this is mentioned in the vid or not but its good that, even though this is the conclusion to the current story, they are still going to continue Samus' adventure. Metroid wouldn't be Metroid without her.

@@leagueofdead569 Ironically, the series called "Metroid" works without Metroids but doesn't work without Samus Aran.

@@justascarecrow6988 zelda situation

Not definitely. Only if Dread’s sales meet expectations.

fair point

They could've not mentioned it was a Metroid game, while still saying Prime 4 is on the way. They could've said, "Metroid Prime 4 is still in development, but here's something else you may want to see." Still, you make a good point.

@@dannys8014 yeah, that would have probably been best

I saw some people during the live stream when they showed “Metroid 5” thinking that they actually skipped Metroid Prime 4 and that this was Prime 5 or something like that, so the clarification was definitely justified 😅

On the other hand, think of it the other way: People are already hyped just by the way it was introduced.

That would be a great callback to Fusion / Prime 1

@@peterthefish97 and Zero Mission and Prime 2

problem is metroid isnt a very “normie” friendly franchise, it never really holds hands, it puts all on you to figure things out, harder than most games on the market, darker stories so less mass appeal, not advertised as much, it lacks consistency in its gameplay as every new game shakes up the formula, and also its got very little in the name of direct story and sure mario doesnt have much but its much more consistent and much less experimental

I think itd be cool to expand on the franchise and have a game or 2 follow a new character or characrers with different attacks and abilities. Unless a franchise is built around that concept already we dont see it too often but whenever it happens its great

@@majintv24 it would be very interesting to expand and follow other characters, but with the Metroid series it has and always will follow Samus until she is either too old to put on the armor, or she dies. Samus is as important to Metroid as Link is to Zelda. She is literally the only humanoid we know of that can wear and utilize the powersuit to it's full potential because of the genetic grafts she received from the Chozo, they built the armor to fit her properly. No other armor would work for a human. Samus is the best leading lady in the Nintendo library, because she's good at her job, and she has character. I think it will take Samus being incapacitated or killed outright to have a new character take her place in the franchise, but I hope they let us play as a chozo from before Samus's life

The Muppet Gods have let him live another day!

SUS AMONG US

The same can not be said for his chair.

It's like how in Japan, Super Mario World has thr subtitle "Super Mario Bros. 4"

Also shows it's been way too long since Fusion if the mainline games aren't even known anymore being numbered

@MageBurger I love those little moments . its like a callback to 80s movies when it would start with the text

Oh yeah, Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion use the "Metroid 3/4" label during the game's start clip before going to the title screen.

Never knew you were a metroid fan!

Just some BotW 2 footage would've done it for me, but a new Metroid game too? And one that looks this awesome? They sure came through with this E3.

Dude, u have the same tastes as I, do you want be my friend?

It wasn't a great year for Metroid fans, but starting October things are looking up! I would have been happy with Metroid Prime Pinball for Switch or a 2D collection. But Dread makes me happy.. though I had my own concept in my head for a metroid that was even more expansive.. but that could be done in a Metroid 6 or even 7.

Also, back in the GameCube the storage space was a HUGE issue. The thing was more powerful than the PS2 yet the mini disks turned down a lot of developers, since they didn't wanna deal with the hassle of splitting their games into multiple pieces

You really think the AI in a game like this is going to be anything more sophisticated than a basic finite state machine? Gameplay-wise I don't see anything here that couldn't have been done on the Gamecube.

@@Monody512 Heck, the basic programming for patrol routes has basically existed since PAC-MAN.

Yeah, no, I'm sorry but I seriously the AI in Dread is going to be anything so CPU intensive that a gamecube couldn't pull it off. What Sakamoto really should be saying is that at the time they didn't have the creative drive and energy to properly execute this. Super Metroid is a masterpiece but that masterpiece also came at great human cost with staff essentially living a Nintendo and not emerging until the game was done.

@@Furluge This is nonsense. First off, they couldn't have made it a GC game even if they wanted to. It was ALWAYS a strictly handheld (in this case, the DS) targeted game, just like the prior 2 games that same team made (aka "Metroid Fusion" & "Zero Mission"). Development costs & dev team requirements on the GC would have simply been way, WAAAAAY too high for Sakamoto's super small team at Nintendo R&D1 to handle (let alone even get approved by upper management) and the GC was on its way out by 2004-2005 anyways. And 1st party Wii games had even LARGER budgets + dev team sizes as those for the GC, making it even LESS feasible a possibility. Secondly, the single-core, super low clocked IBM PowerPC CPU in the Cube was way, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY slower than even the 4-core ARM A57 setup in the Switch. It's VERY within the realm of possibility that the dynamic AI routines Sakamoto desired for the E.M.M.I's would STILL have been technologically unfeasible on even the GC without negatively impacting the rest of the game's design/quality. Only having a SINGLE CPU thread to work with is hard enough when dealing with stuff like complicated AI subroutines, let ALONE if that single thread is also crazy slow, and this was true even for that time. Both desktop CPU's like the Athlon/XP & Pentium 3/4 AS WELL as the P3 based Celeron in the OG Xbox were all EONS beyond the GC in raw CPU performance. The Cube's PS2 ass-kicking power came primarily from its custom ArtX designed "Flipper" GPU, NOT a super powerful CPU. The GC hardware's primary strength was in pushing STOOPID amounts of simultaneous polygons on screen at once (see "Metroid Prime" or "Rogue Squadron II"), where it could even whoop the OG Xbox by a notable margin, but complicated AI routines? That's the exact kind of things that the GC struggled with & which even the otherwise slower PS2 could do better (assuming an experienced PS2 dev). And even if it was technically possible on the Cube, getting a proper full-on 2D Metroid game greenlit for the home consoles w/ a proper home console game budget during the peak of the "Metroid Prime" era & the dawn of HD gaming would have been a COMPLETE non-starter. The massive indie led 2D gaming revival simply hadn't happened yet, as 3D gaming technology & game design was still evolving by MASSIVE leaps & bounds basically every single year.

That would be a baller plot thread.

Hm…if it was designed to hunt Metroids, then why weren’t they deployed sooner? The story so far would imply that these were created only after Fusion. Assuming your theory holds water, it holds significant implications for the story at large.

According to the online thing for Metroid dread, the EMMIs were made for exploring and extracting DNA. My guess is that they were sent by the federation to hunt down samus and extract the Metroid part of her DNA so they can resume their Metroid cloning program after she blew up the remaining Metroids in fusion

To me they kind of look like dog from half life 2, if he were made by aperture science.

Same here. They're *just* uncanny enough. I also like how the EMMI look like robots that could exist in real life: they seem to be designed similarly to four-legged bots that exist in real life (e.g. Spot or BigDog), although EMMI is clearly much more flexible. As such, it's not hard to believe that it's built specifically for both maximum stability and maximum mobility--the perfect weapon to chase down an agile target like Samus.

They have that smooth chrome style. Reminds me of the music video for "All is Full of Love" by Bjork

@TBN won't pop idk, SA-X was pretty darn creepy lol. But yeah, this is a big improvement in a lotta ways!

Looks like glados with legs chasing you.

I wasnt even born yet when rumors of Dread started but somehow I must have heard about it somewhere because i felt deep down in my memory when I went through my metroid phase and completed super metroid a bunch on the wiius vc when i was about 5 or 6 I must have stumbled upon the name Metroid Dread somewhere on youtube rapidly watching metroid videos. It felt really familiar and strange and really felt like I heard it somewhere but not recently. I just feel like I really need to play this now.

I actually shouted “No f**king way!!” And got goosebumps when “METROID 5” popped up 🤘

As someone who knows next to nothing about Metroid, when I saw "Metroid 5" I was confused. But when I saw "Metroid Dread" I felt like I had heard it somewhere before. Then I heard people talking about Arlo and his reaction, so I got here and watched him die. But now I have (some) knowledge, so that's cool.

Your channel is amazing Pad.

Love your content bro!

Ay nice to see you here pad

Checkmark bitch

Hey Pad!

I feel exactly the same: love the Metroid series a lot, and Fusion is by far my favourite!

Fusion was dissapointing for a lot of people becuase it was the first 2d metroid that wasn't actually a metroidvania... that's why I'm even more excited for this game, knowing that it'll be the first metroidvania from the ORIGINAL metroidvania series in 27 years!

Not sure of your age, but us older Metroid fans were blown away by how Super Metroid perfected what Metroid meant at the time (and we walked uphill in the snow both ways to buy it at our local video game shop ;-) ). After experiencing that, all the hand holding that occurred in Metroid Fusion was kind of a turn off. At least that's how I felt about it. The whole concept around Metroid up thru Super Metroid was that you were alone. After the brief intros, there was zero talking in those games (that I remember, and remakes aside). No help was coming. Win or die. Then all of a sudden, in Fusion, you have this "Adam" guy telling you what to do, holding back upgrades from you, and putting a pinpoint on your map telling you exactly where to go. Oh and everything else is basically closed off until you achieve this next step of the mission. It was a guided tour of that research station. Sure, Zebes was sectioned off based on your abilities in Super Metroid, but it didn't FEEL like anything was being held back from you. I still like Fusion. It is a fantastic game. But when I make the decision to play a Metroid game, 70% of the time, I'm gonna sink the next 3 hours into Super Metroid.

@@lukew1383 Yeah, you've pretty much summed up what makes Dread such a big deal as a return to the Metroidvania-style formula of Super. Another exciting thing about this game is that Adam returns as your ship's computer from Fusion, but this time around he's just there to give the player a bunch of lore and a few gameplay tips. You're still on your own when it comes to finding your way out of the bowels of planet ZDR.

@@BenjaminAnderson21 no the first 2d metroid that wasn't an exploration one was metroid 2....

I have never wanted a video game to be made as badly as this one. I play through the entire series every year around this time, and I always get bummed when I get to Fusion, knowing that it was the last entry to an incomplete but otherwise boss series.

@@twinkie415 I think I’ll buy dread when it comes out, I actually quite like metroidvanias so I think I’ll enjoy it :)

You said it! I personally am a huge fan of the series since I was a kid, but I didn't even think of it like that. I'm really glad that they waited until the time was right, even though it was quite a long time!

@@Mikau888 Fuckin. Amazing.

This new suit is a contender for my favorite Samus look. It's so clean and sleek looking and the color scheme is striking and brilliant. I adore it.

One of my favorite things about the Fusion suit is that it accentuates beyond any shadow of a doubt the non-euclidean alien anatomy it gives her, subtly conveying how incomprehensibly advanced the civilization behind it is.

1st impression was bad for me but after watching the gameplay and it warmed up to me it just shot to the top.

@@NoLongerNeedThis not just a sequel, but a sequel to Fusion, a gba game and currently the last in the timeline.

@@kite4803 - Canonically there hasn’t been a direct sequel to Metroid Fusion and that was in 2002, every other Metroid game like Prime was set in between the Metroid games 1-4.

@@luffyymkwii8384 Speedrun strats in this game are gonna be nuts.

I'd love it if they also become faster, stronger and more intelligent as the game progresses. Instead of introducing a new variant that possesses expanded abilities, it would be really scary to encounter the same E.M.M.I as before, hide behind a wall, and suddenly it's able to break through and pursue you. That's just an example, but all it would take is to have a few abilities that they gain over time. They could break through terrain, work together to corner you, lock doors to funnel you down paths - there's loads of ways they could become more threatening. Also, if they didn't all improve at the same rate, it would make it more interesting (as well as more fair) every time you encounter one - not knowing if you'll be able to take the easy way out, or if it'll be too smart to be tricked. By the end of the game, they'll all be incredibly powerful and cunning, so you'll never truly outclass them.

Actually that was shown in the treehouse, like they first start off not being able to crawl through tight spaces, and then they introduce ones that do just that.

Aye, same! How lucky are we?

Its quite *Toasty* isn't it? :3

Same boat bro waiting over 20 years

These things were probably designed to hunt down or contain Metroids, and Samus has to find that out the hard way after destroying them.

Umm play fusion.

Yea initially I assumed it meant the end of the story and future games would be set before. But then realized coukd just mean focused on other stuff than Metroids/X/etc. If they aren’t heavily involved and resolved here maybe 6 on could be focused on Samus against the Federation themselves or a new alien threat.

Am I the only one who read "DREADful" in Bayonetta's voice?

Being a sequel to Fusion makes the horror adventure aspect make even more sense

On the Nintendo website they confirm that the x virus is back

I personally suspect EMMI is attacking Samus because it detects the Metroid DNA inside her.

EMMI seems to have some of Samus’ abilities, so maybe they are made from the parts of her suit they removed at the beginning of fusion? They don’t look like anything we’ve seen before so they might have been created by the Federation. Nvm, i forgot that the SA-X WAS her original suit, and not just a copy. It’s still not impossible, but it’s pretty unlikely.

Hey, spoilers! The heck, man?

Damnnnnnnnnn I didn’t know about that

The final (11th) Chozo Memory is an edit of the 10th one, it is all red and shows a Chozo with an arm cannon having killed another Chozo, posed as if giving orders for war. The "cryptic message" instead of saying 11/10 saying "2d/10", with "2d" being in red, so "M5D and the D was colored red" is only partly true. Image of 11th Memory: imgur.com/a/ZvFnYFZ

Fusion is such a great game too in spite of it's linearity! Lol

Some people just have more specific wants, I suppose. I hope Metroid fans in general aren't going to be in too particular of a mindset as to what this game should exactly be like. Many of them have been playing Super in particular so long, I can imagine at least some of them feel on a certain level that Super is exactly what Metroid as a whole should be, and consequently might be less open to divergence from that formula... It pays to go in with an open mind, I believe.

Yeah its ridiculous. The game still has a ton of exploration you can do too, its just the main story is now more linear.

@@Nicholasryan17 which is not a bad thing at all. The story will likely be pretty important since this is the last game in the story arc so they need to be able to tell it in an efficient way. One of my biggest issues with breath of the wild was that the story was an absolute mess, constantly being shown via flashbacks every so often.

Ironically, I like fusion (and zero mission, those two are my favorites), but I really disliked samus returns. It felt too easy (at least after a certain pickup), relied too hard on its gimmick, and looked.. weirdly generic.

No, don’t make me go want that. Damn it, too late.

Nobody needs that old crap. Zero Mission and Samus Returns are the way to play those games, the NES one is in NSO anyway.

@@Ray_2112 Agree that the revised games are better than the originals… BUT they were updated with Quality of Life improvements which required additional buttons… L & R buttons… Game and Watch only has two buttons… which is probably why the Zelda Game & Watch has the NES games, and the Gameboy Link’s Awakening… In retrospective the Mario Game & Watch could’ve and should’ve had Mario, 1,2,3 or Super Mario Land 1, 2, 3, Wario Land… Maybe a Mario Game & Watch 2… could have these Gameboy games…as they’re infinitely more fun than original Super Mario Bros.

Well, you can kill them. You can see that in the Treehouse presentation. Actually a really interesting mechanic.

I think indie metroidvanias will actually boost this game’s sales. The indie games introduced so many people to the metroidvania genre. I wouldn’t be nearly as excited for this game if I hadn’t enjoyed other metroidvanias like hollow knight and iconoclasts.
