I mean like, do shots not light up a corridor when they travel down it in the original? I may have to fire it up at some point and check. I could have sworn they did.
From what I can understand:- YouTube

They say resolution is native?
Also didn't noticed the option for full narration, which one is recommended for a first play-trough?
"None" gives you no narration.
"Partial" only gives you narration for the opening (definitely at least do this).
"Full" gives some suit notifications a voice. Things like "Recorded to your log book" whenever you scan something that's added to the log book and such.
"Recorded to Logbook" is on by default across all options. I believe the main difference with "Full" is that when you lose your suit powers in the prologue, the malfunction texts are said out loud by your suit. I don't know if I'd recommend partial either. Might be a nostalgia thing for PAL users but I think it comes off corny as opposed to the silent swelling of the music.
I'd say fairly high. IIRC the initial rumors/leaks about Prime Remaster being just the first game with fully overhauled visuals but perfectly faithful gameplay/design also stated that Prime 2 and 3 were possible if this performed well. Which, with the price point and buzz, seems like a lock.
I mean...it depends what parts of primehack you want. You're not getting FoV, kb+m, ultra high res textures and arbitrary resolutions, customizable postprocessing etc with this out of the box. You will get new graphical effects, better geometry, things like that. What you see is what you get. Maybe down the road there'll be an equivalent fork of a switch emulator for this and we can have the best of both worlds.
The classic control scheme doesn't match an actual GameCube controller. Basically they didn't consider the GameCube controller for it.
Yes, the GameCube Controller Works in Metroid Prime Remastered! (+ Wii Pointer Controls!)
Yes, you CAN use the GameCube controller in Metroid Prime Remastered, amongst other control options we'll go over right now!__Video by: Joey Ferris - https:/...

Yeah I was like 7 when it came out and just never got around to it although we did have the trilogy for Wii back then but wasn't my type of game as a kid, can't wait!!
There are narrated callouts for loading up each region of the game. "TALLON OVERWORLD", etc.. In Europe it was only when going between the Overworld and Impact Crater. In Japan every area had a callout, but instead of playing when accessing an area from another area, it was only upon loading a save.
Can't say I am a fan of this face. At least it isn't Prime 2's and after lol
Edit: Okay I think it's growing on me. Feeling more positive about Prime 4 now.

It's faithful to the original but I wish they'd bring it more in line with her standardized modern look. Same with the varia suit, I would have preferred prime 2/3's design. Not a big deal tho
Glad I have Fire Emblem to keep me company until the physical version comes out because I would've downloaded this with the quickness
Thanks for confirming this is in. Won't be able to dive in until later today and missing the GOAT control scheme was my biggest fear.
According to the Metaforce folks (the people behind the reverse engineering of the original GC game), it seems to be the original game ported to the Tropical Freeze engine.
Still not a fan. Not that the design is bad per se but she's supposed to be in her early twenties at point of the timeline. She looks like she's in her thirties here.
Is there another way to pull up the scan visor other than right on the d-pad? A littlllle awkward for me given how often I like to scan things.
Yes they did. It looks like they still do albeit in a less noticeable way.
I've got my Switch out for the first time since Hades for this and...it doesn't turn on? I've had it on charge all night and the power button still does nothing? does anyone know if I need a new battery or is the whole think kaput? it worked fine last time I touched it....
I still don't get the Dread art style complaints. Game looked gorgeous in its natural environments imo.
The sterile EMMI rooms were meh, but areas like Ghavoran, Burenia and Hanubia were really cool.
Comparing anything to Prime's art style is unfair though, that much I get.

Dread looks and runs great too, yeah. It's a silly exercise to try and knock down one to prop up the other. They're also very different games.
for what it's worth I don't think it's quite as ridiculous looking as 2's did sometimes and it feels more like an attempt to play into the bio-tech-y design of the suit rather than like... sexy robot ass. It does look a bit silly either way though.
I'm stuck on the second boss Hive Mecha, really dogshit gamedesign, it killed all my enthusiasm for the game.
I hope it's an exception rather than the norm.

It's more of a mini boss but yeah if I had to rank them it'd be at the bottom. Game has some awesome boss fights, don't worry!
I think that's being ridiculous to be honest, she looks quite fresh faced, strong hair volume and could be in her twenties.
Actually noticed some when holding a charge beam! Nice to see Retro at least hasn't forgotten it lol
It's been almost 20 years and back then I couldn't deal with 1st person games, so I dropped the original game after about 2 hours and can't remember.
How does the gameplay hold up/ are there any QoL improvements? Does it feel dated for someone who'll essentially be playing it for the first time?

Absolutely incredible remaster and at a good price too. Retro putting this out for $40 compared to the $60 that Skyward Sword was for instance feels absolutely wild to me.
The game is gorgeous and holds a steady 60. It's the game that has impressed me the most in the system since Fast RMX. The new controls are great. Everything else is left untouched in regards to level design and combat scenarios. It's so good. It's so ridiculously good. And it was just a "here it is" kind of thing. I'm so happy this exists. One of the best games of all time somehow just got better. This is what remasters should be. The industry has much to learn from this and Dead Space.
If you haven't played Prime before, pick this up. If you have played Prime before, pick this up. Outstanding job Retro.
