I can't believe its coming! I remember being in Middle School discussing the rumored Metroid Dread during Lunch. Now almost 20 years later, I'm on a Lunch break discussing Metroid Dread with my colleagues! Can't wait to finally play this one. I love the chasing mechanism they got going here.
Nintendo should tell us what happened with this game's development. Fans deserve it and it should be an interesting story. edit: Ok guys I watched the the dev video they just uploaded.
Everyone see’s this as an appetizer before Metroid Prime 4… as a Super Metroid, Zero Misson, Samus Returns, and Fusion fan, I see this as the MAIN COURSE.
Yeah i feel pity for the fanboys who think that way. Dread IS a big deal, im happy since this game's development has no relation to Prime 4 or viceversa. So all this time Sakamoto and Mercury Steam have been working hard to revive 2D Metroid 😁 while Tanabe is still trying to figure out what to do after NAMCO failed to produce a good Metroid
@@astraldog3359 I think a big reason Metroid fails to sell as well as other Nintendo first party big hitters is the fact that they release at the wrong time. For example, Samus Returns came out for the aging 3DS shortly after the Switch came out when people were hungry for Switch games. I feel like Dread will be the most important release of the entire series. Switch games just sell. Flat out. There’s no doubt in my mind that this will outsell every Metroid game ever. By how large a margin I have no idea. If this game pushes over 4 million copies, I’ll be fairly confident we will see a new 2D Metroid in the future. A lot is riding on the success of this game.
@@golions13579 i can't agree with that, Fusion and Prime were released early on, had amazing reviews and good(not great) sales, Corruption was also early in the Wii life. I think Metroud just has less appeal than something like Donkey Kong or Zelda. Samus Returns timing was a little late but still managed to push 500k and was clearly a low budget release, i think Nintendo were happy with it and continued their plans for Dread instead of wasting time porting Samus Returns to Switch But i agree Dread is gonna push good numbers on Switch, not sure how much but at least biggest 2D Metroid 👍 it was recieved very positively on E3 Direct,Switch software numbers are insane
I'm definitely glad I did! Return of Samus was the first Metroid game I ever played and beat. It will always be my favorite! As soon as I was aware of Samus Returns, I instantly had to pre-order the Deluxe Edition!
In case anyone isn't aware, Metroid Dread has been the rumored next 2D installment since Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It was originally planned and canceled on the Nintendo DS back in 2005. It was even put as an easter egg in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption as a cheeky joke because it had been rumored for a couple years even by that point. This game has been the source of so many memes, speculation, and dashed hopes for the past sixteen years (June 2005 - June 2021).
As someone who works in audio production, I really appreciate the high attention to detail in the sound design and music in this game. It’s incredibly complimentary to the visuals
The only major thing I would've changed is taking a note from Super, by fleshing out the intro in showing Samus landing on the planet & letting you actually descend into Artaria at will, instead of condensing it with a cutscene, as well as making the initial encounter with Raven Beak into a tutorial boss. It could have done a great job setting the tone and easing players into the gameplay and story, all in one fell swoop
The game was good but I wish the music was better, even samus return's soundtrack I thought was better than dread's overly atmospheric soundtrack with barely any memorable songs imo. Some atmosphere is good, but too much and you just get an other m styled soundtrack. Hopefully the next game has more memorable music.
For those who are a little confused by the "Metroid 5" business... Metroid (NES) - Metroid 1 Metroid II: Return of Samus (Game Boy) - Metroid 2 Super Metroid (SNES) - Metroid 3 Metroid Fusion (GBA) - Metroid 4 Therefore, Metroid Dread is Metroid 5.
Also, the Metroid Prime sub-series are set between Metroid 1 and Metroid 2. As for Metroid Other M (as _maligned_ as it is), it's set between Metroid 3 and Metroid 4.
Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super Metroid, and then Fusion is the way to experience the 2D series in canon order. (Though you can play the fan game AM2R in place of Samus Returns if you prefer.) The original Metroid 1 and 2 are honestly quite horribly-aged, so it's recommended to experience their stories via the remakes.
Yes! Metroid Dread trailer has 1 Million views! See Nintendo, people want more Metroid! Edit: Aye, 2 million views now! Come on Metroid fans, let's keep it going!. Shout out to Alex Reyes for notifying me of this milestone!
@@dinar8749 Samus Returns was released on the wrong console at the wrong time, even a Zelda game would have performed bad that late into the 3DS' life cycle.
@@dinar8749 how many vews did it get one week After reveal? The game got unfairly assassinated though by being put on the 3DS 6 months After the release of the Switch. 3DS literally died After the release of the Switch. Ironically, Samus returns reemmerged in the top of the charts on Amazon and started selling back. Its value Saw some growth Also.
@@dinar8749 I don't think long-time fans care about graphics, they want a good story and probably more scares (because metroid is basically a horror game, just without the gore)
@@LockoIogy Honestly I wonder if the federation is out to kill Samus after she had the BSL self destruct, taking out the research Metroids in the process. These new bots give off heavy SA-X vibes too, so maybe the federation took inspiration from the X
@@chaoszero11 Wouldn’t surprise me if this is the direction they’re ultimately going for; they already set up Sylux twice, someone who despises the GF for unknown reasons, and now Sakamoto says Dread’s going to conclude the Metroid saga, which I assume means the original story he envisioned. What better way to end it then by revealing that the GF are not just an organization with questionable morals but also a corrupt one, willing to do anything it takes to continue their research, including eliminating close allies.
There's some pissed off rogue chozo and a very pissed off rogue government sector, both of which hate Samus. You know what they say, the enemy of my enemy might let me make an invincible killer robot with their tech.
In Fusion's epilogue Adam mentions to Samus that due to her actions she will be branded a fugitive by the Galactic Federation. I'd assume she's trying to prove her innocence in this game or she's been in hiding and a critical mission has brought her back into the limelight. I'm very excited to find out what the situation is :)
@@Lucrei. Yes, that is a good point; which would explain why those hunter-robots seem to be immune to Samus's weaponry. The GF have specifications on Samus's Fusion Suit, since they practically rebuilt it after the X organisms infected Samus in Metroid Fusion. So, this means that the GF also know how to defeat the Fusion Suit as well. This scenario equates to some pretty *dreadful* circumstances for Samus in this new game~
See im already theorizing that due to the actions of Fusion's story that The GF has indeed turned on her and that due to SR the faction of Rogue chozo have stolen either an X sample or Metroid data or both and are attempting to use both somehow.
@Thunder Life I definitely agree with you that the Endgame Fusion Suit is easily the strongest Samus suit to date. However, everything has a weakness, much like how the original Fusion Suit was weak to the cold and just like how Metroids are weak to the cold as well. So, this game's trailer leaves me with these my current questions: - Who/What are the Hunter Robots? - Why are they hunting Samus? - And how will Samus be able to defeat them if her weapons do not work on them? I am interested in doing more research in order to find out the answers~
@@chromeshellking That is a very astute theory, of which I believe that you are most-likely correct. After doing some research online, I found out the "Rogue Chozo" is a "Chozo Scientist", of whom can be seen briefly @ timestamp 1:33 within this video. Furthermore, based upon information from the Samus Returns "Chozo Memories" artwork, I am inclined to believe that this Chozo Scientist is supposedly the only Chozo left alive. Which leads me to believe that this remaining Chozo is not going to be in the best of mental-states or moral-alignments either. Thus, this Chozo will most-likely be an antagonist to Samus Aran in this upcoming game~
@@RuiNDieM1988 Yes. Says in the beginning of the reveal trailer, Metroid 5 (Fusion is 4, says it on the title screen). Sakamoto goes on to elaborate on this in the developer interview video.
@@Mikau888 this makes me happy. I just watched the treehouse gameplay and saw that Adam is now the ship's computer. So glad for a continuation of the story. Looks to be as good as fusion was at the very least.
I feel like we aren’t talking about the creepy chittering sound that the EMMI makes enough. I think the SAX footsteps might finally have a contender for “most terrifying sound in a Metroid game”
I think we aren't talk about the fact that there is a living Chozo in the trailer enough, the first time we actually see one in the series alive and well.
@@Smexbi It’s amazing and if you see Sakamotos video you see a mural of chozo killing others. So in other words we are seeing the war faction of the chozo here
hmm... didnt samus say at the end of fusion, that the X couldnt be destroyed so easily by a selfdestructing biolab? if so... isnt Sa-X still around "somewhere"?
Metroid: Star Fox, I can explain. Star Fox: You and WarioWare get new games announced this year and our last game announcement was in 2016?! Wario Land: 2016?! Our last main game was in 2008! F-Zero: You guys are getting new games?
19 years. We had to wait 19 years to see what happens after the X parasite. Its finally over, i cant wait. Now please bring back starfox and fzero next
Prime 4 is going to be the sequel to Fusion. We don't know where Dread will stand in the series lore just yet. If you meant gameplay-wise, Zero Mission and Samus Returns technically fill that bill.
Hopefully sales don't drop like crazy if they decide to make another 2D Metroid and Prime 5. I expect sales for Prime 4 will be great because of it's high anticipation but sales for Prime 2 were LESS THAN HALF of the sales for Prime 1. But I'd love to see Metroid enter a new golden age starting with this game.
@@jamespeterson4275 I think the low sales of prime 2 had more to do with it being sandwiched between big games like halo 2 and half life 2 coming out right around the same time
These guys really understand Metroid. The series is evolving in the right direction, it has the vibe and looks, and I just hope it plays and feels as good. Good job!
@@davebradshaw3188 which is funny because I saw a triggered fan in another comment section earlier. Guess you can’t please them all. But I’m personally excited for this game.
@paul they said it wasn’t Metroidvania enough. They also said the enemy placement is bad, personally I don’t know if this is true, I don’t specialize in this, but enemy placement shouldn’t that big of a deal. Unless it’s really bad, and this doesn’t look that bad.
I literally squealed like a schoolgirl when I saw 'Metroid 5'. I damn near passed out when I saw it say 'Metroid Dread'!! After 20 years, it's finally here!!!
I gasped and screamed as soon as I read *Metroid 5* and held both of my hands on my face. I was NOT expecting a game taking place after the events of Metroid Fusion.
@@NeoGio87 Because Zelda and Mario has taken the spotlight for too long, and us Metroid fans have been left in the shadows for years. Now our dread may be vanquished.
With the insanity of the reveal itself, I haven’t seen anyone talking about it, but it’s very interesting that this game seems to features a living Chozo. I’m curious if it connects to the mysterious 11th chozo memory in Samus returns
That's exactly what it is. You can tell from the feathers. It's one of the "Evil/Rogue Chozo", & he appears to have taken over a Galactic Federation facility of some kind if my guess is correct (& thus likely the E.M.M.I.'s as well, as Sakamoto has confirmed that the Federation has lost control of them). (My guess is that Planet ZDR is a Federation prison planet, where Samus has been imprisoned for the events of Fusion. Hence Samus starting at the planet's center & having to fight her way out to the surface in an inverse of the classic Metroid trope; with her initial escape likely being possible thanks to said Evil Chozo's actions).
@@Cooe. She probably got set up by a co-action between some of the Federation higher up and that rogue Chozo. The E.M.M.I.'s are very likely designed to "collect Samus" because, you know, she is very close to the ultimate weapon in the story. how she can contact her computer tho is beyond me.
@@Cooe. No one seems to be mentioning the Chozo presence on ZDR with Chozo statues, recharge stations being Chozo sculpts, occasional strange Chozo architecture more reminiscent to Metroid Prime than Super, and (spoilers) there’s a brief period in the treehouse gameplay where it appears a Chozo warrior in a varia suit is suspended in lava. It feels like the GF set up a base on a Chozo site, not realizing the Chozo were still around…? On top of that it’s 100% an evil faction. Samus Returns established Aeion energy which came from SR388 and it’s mysteriously present here. My guess is the evil Chozo stole all of the Aeion and established ZDR. What they’re doing, who knows. There are a lot of potentially interesting twists with this setup.
The story of metroid 5 (dread) is probably the aftermath of Metroid 4 (fusion) due to Samus destroying the research station (BSL) and by killing all the Metroids, again. In Galactic Federation's eyes Samus went rogue for destroying the station, and probably they are hunting her to be taken custody or something.
No no, you have every right to doubt them. I'm getting zero hopes up until I see it released AND be good. Other M is an example of how it could out. Nintendo is not the company they used to be.
@@cosmicmuse2195 Samus Returns, while technically a remake, felt like a new game, and was really good. This game looks similar to Samus Returns, so I have faith that it will be good.
@@cosmicmuse2195 nintendo did not develop metroid dread. It was a nintendo project some 15 years ago, but it was mercurystream that actually took up the task and finally developed it. These are the people who were responsible for samus returns for the 3ds, which is arguably the most recent metroid game to actually feel like a decent metroid game.
"Metroid prime 4 is still in developement, but we decided to release a new metroid title for metroid fans to enjoy while we still work on metroid prime 4"
1. Thank you for bringing back the Samus who shoots first and asks questions after she blows up whatever ship or planet she's on. 2. Thank you for bringing back the close range combat from the Samus Returns Remake. 3. Thank you for bringing back good ol' fashioned 2-D gameplay. 4. Thank you for never giving up on making this. We've been waiting since... What? Metroid Prime 3? 5. Thank you for the Metroid series in general.
@@jmeister7482 I'm also holding out for a Fusion remake. The Samus Returns Remake was so good, I'm hoping they give the Metroid series a grand Anniversary Year at some point.
As a Spaniard, knowing that a studio based in my country is co-developing a Metroid game makes me really proud. I can see a big future for our videogame industry. EDIT: Metroid Dread is now the most critically acclaimed game developed in Spain, and also the first one nominated for Game Of The Year. How cool is that? EDIT 2: So, there have been cases of crunch and other really bad things like names that should appear but do not in the credits of the game. It's not the first time this has happened in the development of a Metroid game since Retro Studios experienced the same when making Prime 1, and it's a shame that history repeats itself. I'm still proud of every single person from my country who contributed on the development of Dread, along with the final product, however, I'm not fine with the treatment that people suffered inside the studio, and if someone needs to be judge for them actions, let them be. Enjoy the game, it's the least you can do, but keep this in mind, el fin no justifica los medios.
@@SALTYTOAD000 Yes it's a word... that means someone from Spain. I know this feeling. That's how I felt when I learned Raven (from Wisconsin) was making Star Wars games (Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy).
I can't be the only one here that is losing their mind at seeing an actual living Chozo. It's there. It's moving. And it looks so cool. Now is it a flashback, or is this going to be an actual moment where we get to meet and see a Chozo?
THE MYTH... THE RUMOUR... THE CANCELLED PROJECT RETURNED FROM THE ASHES OF SCRAPPED GAMES.... THE SEQUAL YOU´VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.... *MMMEEEEEEEEEETROIIIIIIIIIIIIID DREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAD*
I had mega chills throughout this entire trailer. This is the perfect gift for my 30th birthday on Oct. 26, and will scratch the itch for Prime 4. Thanks Nintendo!
The fact that this made it on trending warms my heart. I’m so excited for new players to enjoy Metroid, and to see the franchise back in the limelight where it always deserves to be.
@@gabrieleburella2500 I saw a seagull die. One was flying and the top of a paratransit van hit it while driving. Not hard enough to kill it, but it knocked it out of the air. When the seagull fell to the ground, a following car drove directly over it with its tire. The other seagulls in the air flew in circles above the squished seagull.... I finally told someone that story....
Yesterday I was thinking like... “wouldn’t it be awesome if Nintendo announced a revived Metroid Dread for the series’ 25th? Nahhhh they’ll probably port the gbatroids or the trilogy and call it a remaster anniversary special” I’m so glad I was wrong lmao
@@scorporal You actually had the thought? Goddamn. I think the last time the game even strafed my mind was like 4 years ago. Maybe you're a subtle psychic?
When They announce halo infinite and Doom Eternal became even more popular, they decided to announce Metroid Dread, that is a great comeback for the series
It's good to hear Prime 4 is still being worked on, but as a primarily classic Metroid fan, oh my GOD did this blow my mind. Dread is real. Like, this has to be my personal highlight for all of E3, closely followed by the return of WarioWare, the Sonic Colours gameplay, and of course the X Box Minifridge
Honestly, my favorite part about the EMMI is that the way that they move is eerily reminiscent to how a lot of real-life robots move, right down to the abnormal rotation and reach of their appendages, subtle, uncanny precision and purpose of each individual gesture, and just the complete inorganic imitation of organic motion.
Same! I also love how the sterile-looking and bright designs of the EMMIs contrast a lot of Samus's other foes and give you this impression that they were initially built for much more heroic purposes. And that eratic cold chirping they make is some great surreal horror.
2017: The Treehouse surprises us with Samus Returns out of nowhere. 2018: The Treehouse opens with Ridley. 2021: The biggest game isn't what people expected and the Treehouse opens with Metroid 5! It's nice to be a Metroid fan.
This is a post I copy and paste but I hope it's helpful to someone. If you really enjoy them I'd recommend you also play the two terrific fan games AM2R and Metroid Planets. Metroid Planets has a terrific and remake and reimagining of the first game that unlike Zero Mission stays faithful to the original mechanics. There's also a considerable amount of awesome mods/hacks on Metroid Construction, especially for Super. I don't agree that the first two have aged that badly. The first 2 games certainly aren't as polished as the newer ones but I think they have some charm still. However fans have certainly made them better with Metroid HD being a terrific improvement hack and Metroid 2 EJRT being a quality hack that adds colour. I'd suggest that you/anyone else play them like that. Super has the terrific mod Project Base that creates a more modern experience. Fusion also has the quality Sequence Breaking mod that opens the game up. Here's the best hacks that create all new games based on my experience. There's many others worth playing as well but this is a start. Metroid 1: ---------------- Rouge Dawn Incursion Over the Moon
Super Metroid: --------------------- Hyper Metroid Ascent Escape 2 Vitality Ancient Chozo (Similar to Super but different and gorgeous enough to recommend on it's own) Nature (Vanilla, means it has little to no graphical or mechanical changes) Recovery (Vanilla) Hidden (Vanilla) Retroid (Metroid 1 remake in the SM engine) Y Faster (Speedrun) Y Faster 2 (Speedrun) Super Zero Mission (Hard)
Eris (Hard) Redesign Axeil Edition (Hard)
YPX (Hard) Cliffhanger Redux (Very Hard) Zero Mission: ------------------ Scrolls 6 Also there are some real cool randomizers: ------------------------------------------------------------------ A Link to the Past and Super Metroid combo randomizer Zelda 1 and Metroid 1 combo randomizer Varia Randomizer for Super Metroid Metroid 1 Randomizer Zero Mission Randomizer Fusion Randomizer (In Beta) It's really quite amazing what fans have done for the series. Even the first two Prime games have randomizers. And despite what people may say even Other M is a decent game, albeit with a silly story and some clunky mechanics. It's a great series and the depth of controls in Super is something I've yet to find replicated.
I'm buying this game for sure, and I'm even happier that they haven't forgot about Prime 4 because they said they're working on it. And when I saw Botw 2 my life was completed
Nintendo: We are still working on Metroid Prime 4 Fans: Damn it Nintendo: We have been working on a new Metroid game that you can play in the meantime. Fans: “still unimpressed” Nintendo: “shows Metroid Dread” Fans: Take as much time as you need.
But Nintendo would have conquered E3 if they at least showed Prime 4 content alongside Breath2. Instead, Microsoft swept the floor with Halo ∞ , Forza and a hatload of other blockbuster PC IPs like Stalker and Far Cry, list goes on. Nintendo aren't that serious about competition anymore it seems, they have their indie audience.
@@netweed09 I agree with you. Although it would have been nice if they showed at least a trailer of some sort of Prime 4, along with BOTW 2, I hope that next year they will show something to do with Prime 4 along with more gameplay of BOTW 2. And honestly, do to COVID, things have been really difficult so hopefully they will do something good next year.
@@sakethkambhampati5452 Thanks fella. My views divide opinion and are not welcomed especially by the more inexperienced and younger audience these days. All I want is the Best for Nintendo. I grew up seeing their greatest moments, like the Majora and Wind Waker reveal. I hate to see Microsoft bully them about like this now with Forza Horizon while Nintendo is still bringing out 2D titles. Look at how great Breath2 is,, they can do it
@@netweed09 As Shigeru Miyamoto once said: "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." With the exception of Cyberpunk 2077 lol. They are many great franchises that they can bring back such as F-Zero, Star Fox, etc.
@@arandomeguy7761 In his opinion. Everybody demands great games as they expected but nope. That's what happens when they expect too much when reality will oftenly debunked everybody's expectations. Thanos was right all along.
As another non Metroid fan, I literally had a panic attack when they announced this. Might be due to the fact that I've played a lot of indie Metroidvanias.
Word. I actually wasn't even that excited when I first saw it. Like my brain got rid of the synapses needed for recognizing a new Metroid game a long time ago. But now I can't wait!
Well, Sakamoto did say years ago that it wasnt actually cancelled but they had to scrap what they had and he had no idea when it would actually come out. People just kind of gave up on waiting because they thought the series itself was canned and assumed it was cancelled "by default". People had more or less forgotten about it by the time SR came out
I’m glad they actually did something with this game. I remember hearing about “Dread” being talked about forever ago, and I’m really glad it’s finally happening!
That's what I tell my friends to have no knowledge of Metroid, that this game getting announced is basically the same as Half-Life 3 getting announced.
@@Gabriel-oq8gs They kind of give off as if they were inspired off of the chozo, specifically the two times you fight the chozo statues from super with the way they stand up straight.
@@TsunamiRX I've seen a good speculation on to what EMMI may be actually inspired from and it makes to much sense, but it doesn't seem to be based off the Chozo.
I highly reccomend you play Fusion to prepare 1) Because it's an amazing game and 2) this is a true sequel in that it's a follow up both narratively but also mechanically! Hard to explain but other Fusion players will understand (particularly the stealth sections!)
Fun Fact: Metroid in Chozo language means “ultimate warrior” Metroid were made by Chozos to destroy Parasite X and being that ultimates warriors Even if Samus lost Metroid’s DNA, she still being the Ultimate warrior of her galaxy That’s why this saga cannot change its name in future games
Even without her Metroid DNA, she would be vulnerable to the X-Parasites back when she was on an investigation on SR388 with a couple of Federation personnel.
As a new fan to the series (Thanks to AM2R) I'm more than a little excited to have a new Metroid game for my switch, just starting to test out the older NES and SNES games via the Switch's emulators
To think what I've done between hearing about Metroid Dread and seeing this trailer actually materialize. I graduated high school, got married, had two kids. May have grey in my beard but I feel like a kid again.
The game got panned for not having game play that was as loved as Super metroid and I agree some what... But you can't deny the story telling fearful experience of fusion was super well done. Game still creeps me out to this day.
@@starrk7158 Forgot that Fusion is technically the last game which makes sense why Samus armor looks very skinny and her masked different as well. Looks very interesting and fun to play.
It does seem to have a similar tone as Metroid Fusion. Constantly being hunted by invincible creatures. Slowing gaining power ups to help your escape throughout the game until you're finally strong enough to stop running & fight back
@@danny.thrash It takes a lot of inspiration from Super Metroid but isn't nearly as freeform in progression. It's much more rigid and backtrack heavy. If you can tolerate that, it's a damn good time.
It's about time!!! I'm 46 years old and I remember playing these Metroid games as a kid. Metroid Prime on Cube was the best! Just glad to play another one.
Just finished a 100% binge on all the games in chronological order a day before the news dropped cant wait for it. Finally a continuation of the story.
@@shaneryan8134 Metroid / Zero mission Metroid Prime 1-3 Metroid 2 Samus Returns Super Metroid - 3 Metroid **cough** Other M - 3.5 Metroid Fusion - 4 Metroid Dread - 5 And Metroid prime 4 could take place anywhere between Prime 3 and Dread.
@@Mannwhich Honestly you should have just left "Metroid: Other M" off that list. Trying to fit that trash heap of a game into the chronological canon w/o a mountain of story conflicts &/or ret-cons is damn near impossible & even if you are successful, it's presence only makes the overall story WORSE, NOT better. There's a reason Dread is "Metroid 5" and not "Metroid 6".
@@Mannwhich Also, there's no reason Prime 4 has to take place in-between 1 & 2 anymore. The "Dark Samus/Phazon" arc that takes place during that period of time was officially finished w/ Corruption. Meaning the next Prime game is free to take place WHENEVER Retro Studios wants in the overall timeline. Though obviously it almost surely won't take place after Fusion, as Dread already has that covered.
I love it, only thing is the helmet. One of the early shots before EMMI shows, it looks a bit weird not being “attached” to the suit. Minor nit pick, carry on. I’m hyped lol
@@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342 from the looks of her new armor it seems like a hybrid between her power suit and the fusion suit. Since this is a sequel to Fusion, I think that’s intended

Alright ladies and gentlemen we got our Metroid announcement, it is time to support the franchise (or continuing to support it).
•o•
Metroid Dread actually existing and releasing is like the Metroid equivalent of discovering that aliens exist. I still can't believe it.
Yeah, it's wild! I wish more people actually talked or at least noticed the recent news about UFO's etc.
OMG! I always knew aliens were real before they released the UFO news. And OMG! I can't believe dread is a real game!!!!
When was metroid dread leaked?
aliens do exist too if you haven't heard recently

Alright ladies and gentlemen we got our Metroid announcement, it is time to support the franchise (or continuing to support it).
In case anyone isn't aware, Metroid Dread has been the rumored next 2D installment since Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It was originally planned and canceled on the Nintendo DS back in 2005. It was even put as an easter egg in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption as a cheeky joke because it had been rumored for a couple years even by that point. This game has been the source of so many memes, speculation, and dashed hopes for the past sixteen years (June 2005 - June 2021).
Thank you! I was so confused.
Is this the Metroid game that Nintendo started over completely?

Coming back here after beating the game, I can tell you all it was absolutely worth the wait.
Theres room for improvement.
@@The_Ostrich Doesn't make him wrong though. Every game ever made has room for improvement.
The only major thing I would've changed is taking a note from Super, by fleshing out the intro in showing Samus landing on the planet & letting you actually descend into Artaria at will, instead of condensing it with a cutscene, as well as making the initial encounter with Raven Beak into a tutorial boss. It could have done a great job setting the tone and easing players into the gameplay and story, all in one fell swoop
The game was good but I wish the music was better, even samus return's soundtrack I thought was better than dread's overly atmospheric soundtrack with barely any memorable songs imo.
Some atmosphere is good, but too much and you just get an other m styled soundtrack.
Hopefully the next game has more memorable music.

Metroid (NES) - Metroid 1
Metroid II: Return of Samus (Game Boy) - Metroid 2
Super Metroid (SNES) - Metroid 3

Therefore, Metroid Dread is Metroid 5.

Zero Mission, Samus Returns, Super Metroid, and then Fusion is the way to experience the 2D series in canon order. (Though you can play the fan game AM2R in place of Samus Returns if you prefer.)

Surprised to see an actual alive Chozo, while also thinking it probably explains the existence of a robot that seems to be immune to Samus's tech.
EMMIs are from the Federation
@@LockoIogy might be using chozo tech still
@@LockoIogy Honestly I wonder if the federation is out to kill Samus after she had the BSL self destruct, taking out the research Metroids in the process. These new bots give off heavy SA-X vibes too, so maybe the federation took inspiration from the X
@@chaoszero11 Wouldn’t surprise me if this is the direction they’re ultimately going for; they already set up Sylux twice, someone who despises the GF for unknown reasons, and now Sakamoto says Dread’s going to conclude the Metroid saga, which I assume means the original story he envisioned. What better way to end it then by revealing that the GF are not just an organization with questionable morals but also a corrupt one, willing to do anything it takes to continue their research, including eliminating close allies.
There's some pissed off rogue chozo and a very pissed off rogue government sector, both of which hate Samus. You know what they say, the enemy of my enemy might let me make an invincible killer robot with their tech.

Metroid Fusion Samus: _"Finally, the galaxy is at peace..."_
HAL 9000: _"I am sorry, Samus...That is something that I can not allow to happen"_
In Fusion's epilogue Adam mentions to Samus that due to her actions she will be branded a fugitive by the Galactic Federation.
I'd assume she's trying to prove her innocence in this game or she's been in hiding and a critical mission has brought her back into the limelight. I'm very excited to find out what the situation is :)
@@Lucrei. Yes, that is a good point; which would explain why those hunter-robots seem to be immune to Samus's weaponry.
The GF have specifications on Samus's Fusion Suit, since they practically rebuilt it after the X organisms infected Samus in Metroid Fusion.
So, this means that the GF also know how to defeat the Fusion Suit as well.
This scenario equates to some pretty *dreadful* circumstances for Samus in this new game~
See im already theorizing that due to the actions of Fusion's story that The GF has indeed turned on her and that due to SR the faction of Rogue chozo have stolen either an X sample or Metroid data or both and are attempting to use both somehow.
@Thunder Life I definitely agree with you that the Endgame Fusion Suit is easily the strongest Samus suit to date.
However, everything has a weakness, much like how the original Fusion Suit was weak to the cold and just like how Metroids are weak to the cold as well.
So, this game's trailer leaves me with these my current questions:
- Who/What are the Hunter Robots?
- Why are they hunting Samus?
- And how will Samus be able to defeat them if her weapons do not work on them?
I am interested in doing more research in order to find out the answers~
@@chromeshellking That is a very astute theory, of which I believe that you are most-likely correct.
After doing some research online, I found out the "Rogue Chozo" is a "Chozo Scientist", of whom can be seen briefly @ timestamp 1:33 within this video.
Furthermore, based upon information from the Samus Returns "Chozo Memories" artwork, I am inclined to believe that this Chozo Scientist is supposedly the only Chozo left alive.
Which leads me to believe that this remaining Chozo is not going to be in the best of mental-states or moral-alignments either.
Thus, this Chozo will most-likely be an antagonist to Samus Aran in this upcoming game~

Hey, PK
I feel like we aren’t talking about the creepy chittering sound that the EMMI makes enough.
I think the SAX footsteps might finally have a contender for “most terrifying sound in a Metroid game”
if you combine the HD factor AND this cousins from AUTO are twice as relentless as SAX we combine a game to temember
I think we aren't talk about the fact that there is a living Chozo in the trailer enough, the first time we actually see one in the series alive and well.
@@Smexbi It’s amazing and if you see Sakamotos video you see a mural of chozo killing others. So in other words we are seeing the war faction of the chozo here
The fact the footsteps now have a contender like Alien chase is even more terrifying to me
hmm... didnt samus say at the end of fusion, that the X couldnt be destroyed so easily by a selfdestructing biolab? if so... isnt Sa-X still around "somewhere"?

Prime 4 is going to be the sequel to Fusion. We don't know where Dread will stand in the series lore just yet.
If you meant gameplay-wise, Zero Mission and Samus Returns technically fill that bill.
From almost dead, to reborn, to game of the year. Metroid is back and this time, it's here to stay.

@@Synthicity You sound like a villain telling his tragic backstory
With the insanity of the reveal itself, I haven’t seen anyone talking about it, but it’s very interesting that this game seems to features a living Chozo. I’m curious if it connects to the mysterious 11th chozo memory in Samus returns
That's exactly what it is. You can tell from the feathers. It's one of the "Evil/Rogue Chozo", & he appears to have taken over a Galactic Federation facility of some kind if my guess is correct (& thus likely the E.M.M.I.'s as well, as Sakamoto has confirmed that the Federation has lost control of them).
(My guess is that Planet ZDR is a Federation prison planet, where Samus has been imprisoned for the events of Fusion. Hence Samus starting at the planet's center & having to fight her way out to the surface in an inverse of the classic Metroid trope; with her initial escape likely being possible thanks to said Evil Chozo's actions).
I caught that as well. Would be cool if you actually interact with one for the first time in the series.
@@Cooe. She probably got set up by a co-action between some of the Federation higher up and that rogue Chozo. The E.M.M.I.'s are very likely designed to "collect Samus" because, you know, she is very close to the ultimate weapon in the story. how she can contact her computer tho is beyond me.
@@Cooe. No one seems to be mentioning the Chozo presence on ZDR with Chozo statues, recharge stations being Chozo sculpts, occasional strange Chozo architecture more reminiscent to Metroid Prime than Super, and (spoilers) there’s a brief period in the treehouse gameplay where it appears a Chozo warrior in a varia suit is suspended in lava.
It feels like the GF set up a base on a Chozo site, not realizing the Chozo were still around…? On top of that it’s 100% an evil faction. Samus Returns established Aeion energy which came from SR388 and it’s mysteriously present here.
My guess is the evil Chozo stole all of the Aeion and established ZDR. What they’re doing, who knows. There are a lot of potentially interesting twists with this setup.
The story of metroid 5 (dread) is probably the aftermath of Metroid 4 (fusion) due to Samus destroying the research station (BSL) and by killing all the Metroids, again. In Galactic Federation's eyes Samus went rogue for destroying the station, and probably they are hunting her to be taken custody or something.

They never could give dread justice on the Nintendo DS
@@scorporal You actually had the thought? Goddamn. I think the last time the game even strafed my mind was like 4 years ago.
Maybe you're a subtle psychic?
"Experiment status report update. Metroid project "Dread" is nearing the final stages of completion."
I've got to know. Was this quote from a Metroid game? It feels like it was but I haven't played a lot of the series.
@@SwerveStarEx it was a scan in metroid prime 3 on the pirate homeworld
@@DarkSymphony777 Holy moly. Thanks.
@@SwerveStarEx welcome
When They announce halo infinite and Doom Eternal became even more popular, they decided to announce Metroid Dread, that is a great comeback for the series
The power armor trio is back in action.
Those series have nothing to do with each other.
Badasses in suits is the perfect concept idea.
@@Matt-vx1mz suited warriors go into space and kill things, how do they not?
@@franktoth1272 Yes, and thast's about it. Any other thing like gameplay or storytelling methods are very different.
More people bought the game than the number of people who viewed this trailer, that’s actually insane for the Metroid franchise!
It's good to hear Prime 4 is still being worked on, but as a primarily classic Metroid fan, oh my GOD did this blow my mind. Dread is real. Like, this has to be my personal highlight for all of E3, closely followed by the return of WarioWare, the Sonic Colours gameplay, and of course the X Box Minifridge
Honestly, my favorite part about the EMMI is that the way that they move is eerily reminiscent to how a lot of real-life robots move, right down to the abnormal rotation and reach of their appendages, subtle, uncanny precision and purpose of each individual gesture, and just the complete inorganic imitation of organic motion.
It's more rudimentary than the terminators, this robot army are designed to kill samus Arran
It looks exactly like the demogorgon
@@Khorn_Bezerker05 The Faceplate, sure, but the rest looks like Grievous from the 2003 Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars series.
Same! I also love how the sterile-looking and bright designs of the EMMIs contrast a lot of Samus's other foes and give you this impression that they were initially built for much more heroic purposes. And that eratic cold chirping they make is some great surreal horror.
Based off of AMEE from Red Planet
2017: The Treehouse surprises us with Samus Returns out of nowhere.
2018: The Treehouse opens with Ridley.
2021: The biggest game isn't what people expected and the Treehouse opens with Metroid 5!
It's nice to be a Metroid fan.
Ya, but remember before 2017 and after 2009, it really wasn't that great to be a metroid fan
@@philipboes1100 Which is why I was very specific for the years I mentioned.
Dude, this trailer literally has more views than the entire E3 Presentation. Thats amazing! Finally metroid gets the love it deserves
At last, Metroid is making a comeback.
From the bottom of my heart and soul Nintendo, Thank you so much!
Man... I haven't been this hyped during any e3.. ever. Nintendo went so far above my expectations with this one.
This is a post I copy and paste but I hope it's helpful to someone.
If you really enjoy them I'd recommend you also play the two terrific fan games AM2R and Metroid Planets. Metroid Planets has a terrific and remake and reimagining of the first game that unlike Zero Mission stays faithful to the original mechanics. There's also a considerable amount of awesome mods/hacks on Metroid Construction, especially for Super.
I don't agree that the first two have aged that badly. The first 2 games certainly aren't as polished as the newer ones but I think they have some charm still. However fans have certainly made them better with Metroid HD being a terrific improvement hack and Metroid 2 EJRT being a quality hack that adds colour. I'd suggest that you/anyone else play them like that. Super has the terrific mod Project Base that creates a more modern experience. Fusion also has the quality Sequence Breaking mod that opens the game up. Here's the best hacks that create all new games based on my experience. There's many others worth playing as well but this is a start.
Metroid 1:
----------------
Rouge Dawn
Incursion
Over the Moon
Super Metroid:
---------------------
Hyper Metroid
Ascent
Escape 2
Vitality
Ancient Chozo (Similar to Super but different and gorgeous enough to recommend on it's own)
Nature (Vanilla, means it has little to no graphical or mechanical changes)
Recovery (Vanilla)
Hidden (Vanilla)
Retroid (Metroid 1 remake in the SM engine)
Y Faster (Speedrun)
Y Faster 2 (Speedrun)
Super Zero Mission (Hard)
Eris (Hard)
Redesign Axeil Edition (Hard)
YPX (Hard)
Cliffhanger Redux (Very Hard)
Zero Mission:
------------------
Scrolls 6
Also there are some real cool randomizers:
------------------------------------------------------------------
A Link to the Past and Super Metroid combo randomizer
Zelda 1 and Metroid 1 combo randomizer
Varia Randomizer for Super Metroid
Metroid 1 Randomizer
Zero Mission Randomizer
Fusion Randomizer (In Beta)
It's really quite amazing what fans have done for the series. Even the first two Prime games have randomizers. And despite what people may say even Other M is a decent game, albeit with a silly story and some clunky mechanics. It's a great series and the depth of controls in Super is something I've yet to find replicated.
In my opinion, this is the best thing to come out of E3 this year
Well, Nintendo was the company everyone was waiting for, and MY GOD did they deliver!
I'm buying this game for sure, and I'm even happier that they haven't forgot about Prime 4 because they said they're working on it. And when I saw Botw 2 my life was completed
This and SMT
Shat myself. 20 years later, a new 2D Metroid. Was expecting Prime 4 but somehow to me this is just so much better. Seriously made me ecstatic.
Who is here after Metroid prime 4 got announced?
Nintendo: We are still working on Metroid Prime 4
Fans: Damn it
Nintendo: We have been working on a new Metroid game that you can play in the meantime.
Fans: “still unimpressed”
Nintendo: “shows Metroid Dread”
Fans: Take as much time as you need.
But Nintendo would have conquered E3 if they at least showed Prime 4 content alongside Breath2. Instead, Microsoft swept the floor with Halo ∞ , Forza and a hatload of other blockbuster PC IPs like Stalker and Far Cry, list goes on.
Nintendo aren't that serious about competition anymore it seems, they have their indie audience.
@@netweed09 I agree with you. Although it would have been nice if they showed at least a trailer of some sort of Prime 4, along with BOTW 2, I hope that next year they will show something to do with Prime 4 along with more gameplay of BOTW 2. And honestly, do to COVID, things have been really difficult so hopefully they will do something good next year.
@@sakethkambhampati5452 Thanks fella. My views divide opinion and are not welcomed especially by the more inexperienced and younger audience these days. All I want is the Best for Nintendo.
I grew up seeing their greatest moments, like the Majora and Wind Waker reveal. I hate to see Microsoft bully them about like this now with Forza Horizon while Nintendo is still bringing out 2D titles. Look at how great Breath2 is,, they can do it
@@netweed09 As Shigeru Miyamoto once said: "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." With the exception of Cyberpunk 2077 lol.
They are many great franchises that they can bring back such as F-Zero, Star Fox, etc.
I wish they cancel prime 4 so they can put all of the effort on Metroid 5
I've waited nearly 2 decades for this moment. Nintendo won E3.
U call this a win ?
good cos this game looks like it came from 2 decades ago. Maybe you two can both go back in time while Nintendo today delivers a real 3D FPS metroid
@@arandomeguy7761 In his opinion. Everybody demands great games as they expected but nope. That's what happens when they expect too much when reality will oftenly debunked everybody's expectations. Thanos was right all along.
Lol that’s a good one. XD
@@emblemedfate4270 this is the real Metroid.
“You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you..”
As a non metroid fan, this is pretty cool.
As another non Metroid fan, I literally had a panic attack when they announced this.
Might be due to the fact that I've played a lot of indie Metroidvanias.
As a non Metroid fan, I’m buying this game.
As a gay rockstar, I have nothing to add to this
I've never played Metroid and now I wish I had the console for this
@@seancolorado The game's 10 hours long it's not really a must play, so yeah dw
0:17 the soundtrack and sound effects is so freaking chilling omg.
Yesss
Yesss
Except the explosion at 0:42 of the rocket. Still can’t wait to play though
@@DarksideGaming lol I feel you
Metroid Fusion walked so that Metroid Dread could run
So Metroid Fusion and Metroid Prime 3 walk into a bar...
fusion ran so dread could walk
Alright ladies and gentlemen we got our Metroid announcement, it is time to support the franchise (or continuing to support it).
Wouldn't Samus's return fit?
And Metroid still can't crawl.
Been rewatching this throughout the day. It feels unreal.
Word. I actually wasn't even that excited when I first saw it. Like my brain got rid of the synapses needed for recognizing a new Metroid game a long time ago. But now I can't wait!
I can't wait to go on this adventure.
Hi samus
hello TOADmemer
Yeah, you’re a fugitive and the Federation wants to kill you with their E.M.M.I. robots. Hope you are excited.
AND TO FEEL DREAD!!!
They said it was a myth, they said it was cancelled, that it was never real...
Good thing they put emphasis on the "was" never real.
Well, Sakamoto did say years ago that it wasnt actually cancelled but they had to scrap what they had and he had no idea when it would actually come out. People just kind of gave up on waiting because they thought the series itself was canned and assumed it was cancelled "by default". People had more or less forgotten about it by the time SR came out
I’m glad they actually did something with this game. I remember hearing about “Dread” being talked about forever ago, and I’m really glad it’s finally happening!
It was Fusion sequel for NDS, now it returns as a Switch Game
This is Metroid fans own Half-Life 3.
I’ve been waiting for this game to happen since high school. Thank you so much Nintendo and Mercury Steam!!
If this is the Metroid equivalent for HL3, then Other M is HL:Alyx
@@OnionChoppingNinja nah, because alyx was actually a good game lmao
@@OnionChoppingNinja HL: Alyx is good tho
@@OnionChoppingNinja Nah that'd be Samus Returns
That's what I tell my friends to have no knowledge of Metroid, that this game getting announced is basically the same as Half-Life 3 getting announced.
Imo, this was the biggest announcement for Nintendo at E3
This was imo the only thing that truly made me go O.o at this year’s E3 because I thought it was kinda underwhelming :P
We already knew botw 2 was a thing, this was just a complete bombshell Nintendo dropped on us!
The EMMIs are gonna be absolutely terrifying by just sound alone. Never played Fusion but I'm def buying this
They sound like birds
@@redray213 I like that weird chirping sound they make. I think it sounds really unnatural and unsettling.
@@Gabriel-oq8gs They kind of give off as if they were inspired off of the chozo, specifically the two times you fight the chozo statues from super with the way they stand up straight.
@@TsunamiRX I've seen a good speculation on to what EMMI may be actually inspired from and it makes to much sense, but it doesn't seem to be based off the Chozo.
I highly reccomend you play Fusion to prepare
1) Because it's an amazing game
and
2) this is a true sequel in that it's a follow up both narratively but also mechanically! Hard to explain but other Fusion players will understand (particularly the stealth sections!)
Dont mind me, just watching this for the 50th time today.
I can't stop watching it, and on slow, too!
Literally with you
gotta get it more views so more people get recommended it XD
but for real this game looks so cool!
Same
Same here 😂🙌🏽🔥❤️
Nintendo was like: "oh boy those Metroidvania games really blew up in the past years. We should make our own Metroidvania game..."
Uuuuuuhhhhhh
Lmao
With blackjack and hookers
@@bbarrett726 "...no, wait, forget blackjack and hookers. Put in killer robots!"
😹👍
Fun Fact: Metroid in Chozo language
means “ultimate warrior”
Metroid were made by Chozos to destroy Parasite X and being that ultimates warriors
Even if Samus lost Metroid’s DNA, she still being the Ultimate warrior of her galaxy
That’s why this saga cannot change its name in future games
35 year old news
Ultimate warrior Dread
Even without her Metroid DNA, she would be vulnerable to the X-Parasites back when she was on an investigation on SR388 with a couple of Federation personnel.
Ultimate Warrior
Ultimate Warrior II Return of Samus
Super Ultimate Warrior
Ultimate Warrior Fusion
Ultimate Warrior Dread
I honestly never thought we’d get a sequel to fusion.
it's the natural progression at this point after all
As a new fan to the series (Thanks to AM2R) I'm more than a little excited to have a new Metroid game for my switch, just starting to test out the older NES and SNES games via the Switch's emulators
@@UNSCPILOT you mean the Switch Online?
@@wogardrodriguez9699 yep, though the fact you have to sign up for online just to use an emulator for mostly singleplayer games is kinda janky, NGL
To think what I've done between hearing about Metroid Dread and seeing this trailer actually materialize.
I graduated high school, got married, had two kids.
May have grey in my beard but I feel like a kid again.
Same here brother...same here. 🙏
Screamed when I saw Metroid 5.
Screamed louder when I saw Metroid Dread.
It's finally here.
same 😄
I missed the part that said metroid 5 I was to screaming but then dread pop up and I almost black out.
@W dawg 090 I think I might have screamed louder than Arlo lol.
When I saw Metroid 5 I was so psyched... finally!!!
Just beat the game 100% my reaction seeing this live was definitely justified, completely met my expectations
It surpassed mine
@@justin02350 Same. I had my expectations low so I wouldn't be disappointed. Instead I was floored.
*"Dread* it. Run from it. Metroid still arrives."
*+*
Metroid Dread & Knuckles
I'm getting metroid fusion vibes with the literal dread
it is a sequel after all
The game got panned for not having game play that was as loved as Super metroid and I agree some what... But you can't deny the story telling fearful experience of fusion was super well done. Game still creeps me out to this day.
@@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342 I agree with you completely.
@@starrk7158 Forgot that Fusion is technically the last game which makes sense why Samus armor looks very skinny and her masked different as well. Looks very interesting and fun to play.
It does seem to have a similar tone as Metroid Fusion. Constantly being hunted by invincible creatures. Slowing gaining power ups to help your escape throughout the game until you're finally strong enough to stop running & fight back
I can’t believe it’s actually real.
I can't believe they were actually working on it! IT'S BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT FOR OVER 16 YEARS. Everyone thought it was cancelled!
is this metroid 4 or different game ??
Same here! I can't wait to play this game!
@@gamer_geek2638 5, 4 was Fusion
@@gamer_geek2638 This is Metroid 5, Metroid 4 is Metroid Fusion. The one you are probably talking about is Metroid Prime 4. This isn't it.
This is probably the best Metroid game ever made, after beating this, I can say that with full confidence.
Lol def not. Maybe the best 2D Metroid, but the best Metroid overall is Metroid Prime.
@@The_Ostrich Prime 1 isn't even the best Prime game, Prime 2 is better
@@squidyouknowI've heard that Prime 1 is basically 3D Super Metroid. Is that true?
@@squidyouknow totally agree, echoes is prime perfection
@@danny.thrash It takes a lot of inspiration from Super Metroid but isn't nearly as freeform in progression. It's much more rigid and backtrack heavy. If you can tolerate that, it's a damn good time.
TWENTY YEARS
THANK YOU NINTENDO
WE FINALLY GET TO SEE IT HAPPEN
Hope Metroid Prime 4 will not be the next Metroid Dread at this point.
20 years is,a lot of time!
It's about time!!! I'm 46 years old and I remember playing these Metroid games as a kid. Metroid Prime on Cube was the best! Just glad to play another one.
Just finished a 100% binge on all the games in chronological order a day before the news dropped cant wait for it. Finally a continuation of the story.
@@danielsinferno5733 what is the chronological order of all the games? Been meaning to do that too
@@shaneryan8134
Metroid / Zero mission
Metroid Prime 1-3
Metroid 2 Samus Returns
Super Metroid - 3
Metroid **cough** Other M - 3.5
Metroid Fusion - 4
Metroid Dread - 5
And Metroid prime 4 could take place anywhere between Prime 3 and Dread.
@@Mannwhich Honestly you should have just left "Metroid: Other M" off that list. Trying to fit that trash heap of a game into the chronological canon w/o a mountain of story conflicts &/or ret-cons is damn near impossible & even if you are successful, it's presence only makes the overall story WORSE, NOT better.
There's a reason Dread is "Metroid 5" and not "Metroid 6".
@@Mannwhich Also, there's no reason Prime 4 has to take place in-between 1 & 2 anymore. The "Dark Samus/Phazon" arc that takes place during that period of time was officially finished w/ Corruption. Meaning the next Prime game is free to take place WHENEVER Retro Studios wants in the overall timeline. Though obviously it almost surely won't take place after Fusion, as Dread already has that covered.
Samus has a nice suit this time, white is a really good color on the suit
With the blue and stuff too. Totally sick! Honestly though... The suit looks great in like every color.
I love it, only thing is the helmet. One of the early shots before EMMI shows, it looks a bit weird not being “attached” to the suit. Minor nit pick, carry on. I’m hyped lol
Metroid was already sci-fi, but the new power suit and the machinery heavy themes in the trailer ramp up the sci-fi feel exponentially imo.
@@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342 from the looks of her new armor it seems like a hybrid between her power suit and the fusion suit. Since this is a sequel to Fusion, I think that’s intended
@@RatedShadowXrd my theory is that since the suit from fusion was a layer of the armor under the plating, this is new plating to complete the armor.
Little did we know, this was all actual gameplay footage
Imagine how many Metroid fans died before seeing Dread finally becoming a reality.
Sudden bittersweetness, ouch-
We'll complete the saga for them, too.
And one day we will also be dead when metroid 8 comes out.
Goddamit man
Watch Arlo’s reaction.
@WEABOBOSS he is already born somewhere hope he is lucky to born as a human.
HOLD EVERYTHING! Is that a live Chozo?!
It appears so
Pre-corruption Chozo, yes
@@ghostprojekt I don't think we saw any living Chozo before _corruption_ . Ghosts yes, but no living ones.
Yes
It’s the one from the 11th memory in Samus Returns
