I WANT A DECENT RAYMAN PLATFORMER AGAIN!!


And fututre ftw.

I think that making Metroid into a "search and destroy" type game - more like a sandbox - would be kinda good.
Kinda like GTA with all the cheats as standard lol
Come on... it would be fantastic!

Oh god, ive just ruined my keyboard.... =S lol

Who knows maybe they'll realease FF VII as a PSOne Classic on the PS network

I'll second the Rayman bit. The original Rayman was one of my favorite Jaguar games.

And yeah - it's an old argument at this point, but just for the sake of confirmation, I'm all about the new one from Team ICO. Their last two games are two of my top ten of all time.

While Red Dead Revolver 2 would be amazing, I'd have to put my vote in for Metroid DS. I'm still playing the GBA games, and A DS one could be so much bigger. I can't agree with the suggestion of 2.5D visuals, because I feel that Sprites are much more artistic and you can make a much better atmosphere with them. Also the suggestion for a Survival Horror one would be nice, but mabye next generation when nintendo cares about us again and we can have some decent visuals to go along with it. Dead Space would be a good inspiration for what they should do.

Ken Levine looks like Charlie Day...

Why does everyone seem to think that a futuristic CoD would be just like Halo, with candy-colored aliens? Let me just list off a few of the other futuristic games it could resemble instead:

System Shock 2
Dead Space
Unreal Tournament
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (near-future, but it counts)
Gears of War series
Star Wars Battlefront series
Frontlines: Fuel of War
Battlefield: 2142
MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf
Red Faction series
Project: Snowblind (which deserved far more acclaim than it got)

And that's just off the top of my head. And let's not forget that Infinity Ward doesn't suck.

Damn, people.

CoD:Future Warfare...WOOT!!!!

What this article says about Metroid, I agree with wholeheartedly... except for the part about this new game being on the DS. Let's not fool ourselves; compared to our home theater setups, that thing is terrible. For a new Metroid, I'd take what I could get -- no doubt about that -- but if we dare to dream, let's dream it comes out on Wiiware at the very least, and a glorious, feature-packed, triple-A disc of blinding awesome at best. Heck, you know you want it on PS360 even more. Whoa, just imagine.

Anyway, when you think about it, this February will be the fifth anniversary of the last entry in the original Metroid series (a.k.a. not the Prime series). It's so preposterously overdue for a well-loved, popular series, I can't understand it.

One more thing; the old article with the series shake-up ideas: it could be because of a combination of my youthful imagination and the game's lack of a Galactic Codex, but I tell ya, Super Metroid WAS a grounded, dark, isolation-horror game (as much as it could be on a SNES). And I loved it. It wasn't until the Prime series took over that Metroid got real goofy; what with the overabundance of pulsing, Tron-esque lights, a mutagenic goo that turns inanimate rocks into roaring monsters, and not to mention Ice Man and Mystique getting fake IDs and crossing over into Prime 3's story. I'd love to see Metroid get Battlestar'd. Something like Dead Space in tone, like Brett said. Gore notwithstanding. I would love for it to be as weighted and serious as I remember Super Metroid being.

So, were I in charge of Nintendo right now, I'd fire everyone on the best team there, -- hear me out -- personally start up a new independent studio, hire all those same guys for it, sell the Metroid license to the new studio, get production rolling on a realistic, dark, gritty, border-line depressing Metroid game, and make it 2D, but with the best, most beautiful 3D graphics possible, and release it for Xbox 360 and PS3. Throw in four-player online co-op, competitive multiplayer modes with COD-style XP gain and unlocks... everything! Then port the game to Wii. Just imagine! :)
