Well if it manages to get released and people can download it there's no problem even if it gets taken down afterwards. AM2R can be downloaded and played after all.The second this gets released is the second it gets C&D
I don't know why people do this to themselves, I don't see us living in a world where Nintendo doesn't try to protect their IP. This is that Metroid 2 remake all over again.
Fascinating project - could this evolve into a way better emulator for GCN games over the decades?
Absolutely not. It's a recreation of Metroid Prime's engine specifically and (by design) has no connection to the Gamecube hardware. Having said that, it would be a solid base for Metroid Prime 2 and 3 (and even fan games).
And I might remember that wrong but doesn't MP2 use some engine / tech parts of other Nintendo games, namely Mario sunshine with the dissolve when he jumps into a level?
Hmm, I don't actually remember that effect from either SMS or MP2! I doubt it's something that can't be recreated though, and even if it isn't, having a less fancy transition isn't the end of the world, especially for an initial release.
I doubt the engines are 1:1, but they were all built on the same tech even into the Wii eta (you can load wind waker maps into Mario Galaxy with only minor tweaks for example).Sure I find it interesting how the Nintendo games use their engine for mutliple games and genres from that era. I heard at some point that Sunshine and Wind Waker have the same engine base, but again - no idea if that is even true. I think it was from a magazine from the 00s.
The one where everyone loved it, it's still obtainable, it still gets updates, and the developer went on to work on Ori and the Will of the Wisps?The second this gets released is the second it gets C&D

I just played through Metroid Prime for the fourth time or so in my life and just hearing the Phendrana music in that video makes me immediately want to boot it up yet again. The soundtrack in this game is still fucking unreal and this looks great.
So true, it's awesome. People don't talk as much about the Chozo Ruins music...I love those beats.I just played through Metroid Prime for the fourth time or so in my life and just hearing the Phendrana music in that video makes me immediately want to boot it up yet again.

Very true. The whole soundtrack is top notch.
Technically, this was already possible via Dolphin VR. It was a fork of the main build by an individual developer. However, it included code that breached the open-source agreement. To my knowledge, it hasn't been updated in years.
It already works in Dolphin VR. I got it working with my Quest. It is very cool but the controls are a little clunky.
what?Essentially just a lot of effort for piracy when you could just dump your copy and play on dolphin
If only Sony can see that and make a game like that for psvr... They could have their own metroidvania game.
LMAO sorry
Man I'd kill for a VR Metroid Prime sort of game. Give me all the motion sickness of jumping in and out of first person, I'll take itIf only Sony can see that and make a game like that for psvr... They could have their own metroidvania game.
Yeah, hire the studio that did far point to make a metroid prime game. Can work for standard setup and vr.Man I'd kill for a VR Metroid Prime sort of game. Give me all the motion sickness of jumping in and out of first person, I'll take it
I haven't tried it yet, but the PrimeHack fork of Dolphin aims to do just that.I'm curious what Prime would play like with native keyboard and mouse controls.

It doesn't just aim to, it soars. Makes it feel like a completely native PC port and it's a fucking revelation!I haven't tried it yet, but the PrimeHack fork of Dolphin aims to do just that.
