[NS] Metroid Dread

By the way, le collector est scalpé en masse c'est une honte, introuvable en france, en 30 secondes dès qu'il y a du restock ça repart aussi sec, c'est abusé.
J'en ai eu deux sur amazon UK, mais quand même, c'est pas normal.

Je veux dire, ils ont un peu rien compris à Metroid 2, plus tu t'enfonces vers le nid des metroid, moins t'es censé avoir de mobs, parce qu'ils ont tous été bouffé. C'est un truc vachement intimiste, pour arriver à la fin dans des zones absolument désertes. Et la "fuite" de la planète en toute simplicité, avec une petite mélodie qui fait réfléchir sur nos actes d'exterminer une race quasi entière.

Non, dans le remake c'est la foire à l'action du début à la fin, avec le moment de la "fuite" absolument ruiné et un boss surprise absolument pas nécessaire, sympa dans la mise en scène et le combat, comme tout le jeu, mais absolument pas nécessaire.

Alors quand je les vois ruiner l'immersion dans M2, ce qui était quand même un exploit à faire. Les voir au commande d'un jeu qui est fait pour ce sentiment de "peur" ça peut justement faire peur.

I had an epiphany a few days after I saw this. You know how you said that the tension the first game tried to implement on the way to the final boss fight is totally missing in the remake, like they totally missed the point?

I don't think they missed the point. I think MercurySteam left that long, empty corridor out because that's not how the story goes anymore.

When Metriod 2 came out, there was nothing in continuity but the first game. I don't think the fact that Metriods were created by the Chozo even existed yet, save maybe in supplementary materials only a handful of people actually read. Therefore, it made since to show how SR388 had been ravaged by the Metriod menace.

But Fusion retconned established that the Metriods were deliberately put there by the Chozo to keep in check something far worse -- the X Parasites.

So of course the lower tunnels of SR388 are still full of life; the Metriods haven't been feeding on them, they've been feeding on the X, allowing the planet's ecosystem to grow and thrive. They're now the protectors of SR388, not its plague.

And sure, if their numbers started growing out of control, they could end up wiping out life on the planet -- but thanks to visual storytelling, we know the Chozo made sure that wouldn't happen. The Chozo built a series of checks and balances to keep the Metriods from overpopulating -- checks and balances that were working perfectly fine, until you blundered in.

Really, the remake in hindsight is much grimmer than the original. Because in this version, it turns out you're the bad guy of the game. You're not the righteous space warrior exterminating a race of evil aliens, like you thought -- you're the villain in an Eco-film whose ignorance and thoughtlessness ends up dooming an entire world. We actually see that in the epilogue, when an X infests a native animal, signaling the parasite's eventual takeover.

No wonder the Chozo-built Diggernaut kept attacking you -- it wasn't malfunctioning, it was trying to stop you because it knew what would happen if you succeeded.
