I'm just now playing through echos, and just got here. Oh man, the chills when I saw the sprawling lights below and this menacing tower infront of me. This game is so much **darker** than it's predecessor
prime 1 and 2 are among some of my favorite games ever made, i think both contrast each other very well and each has their own strengths and weaknesses
At this point, you see the Luminoth and their technological prowess. You fight their rogue robots, some of which are able to disable the advanced Chozo technology that Samus has in her suit. They were in contact with the Chozo as well, so it makes sense that they could do that. I would like to see the Luminoth at least mentioned in Prime 4. In Prime 3, it was revealed that they met the Federation and helped them clear out the Space Pirates. I would also like to return to Aether or Tallon IV.
I love the detail that it was the *luminoth* that created the screw attack upgrade you were using throughout the series. Something that we would have assumed was always chozo, was really a product of their desire to seek out life in all forms
I remember my first full playthrough of Metroid Prime 2 and I didn't think anything could top what I just heard from Torvus Bog then I hit the Sactuary Fortress and this plays. Man I was blown away it fits so well. Metroid music has always been untouchable to me because it perfectly captured the environment and current moment going on to a tee. Can't wait to hear the different soundtracks in Metroid Prime 4 and Metroid Dread for that matter!
my favourite track of the game, it has this mysterious and ominous atmosphere... reaching this area for the first time is an unforgettable experience. Would love to see this thing remastered.
@@angelvillegas9604 Absolutely looking forward to it! I'm very glad that it looks like it's part of the trilogy and not weirdly different and "new-age" if you get what I mean.
I absolutely loved this entire level. The Quadraxis fight is the most fitting and perfect transition of tech themed music and environment into an equally astonishing and fitting level guardian. This entire playthrough solidified my preference for prime 2. It's an unbelievably underrated game.
Never knew why the Agon Wastes had to be more colorful for people :/ They are wastes and they make Sanctuary pop out that much more. If everything looked like Sanctuary, that would make people complain too :/
I think the main issue is that you go from the dusty Temple Grounds straight into the dusty Agon Wastes. So the opening hours of Prime 2 are very brown.
Kinda interesting how, with how advanced the Luminoth are as a species, that this is the only area with advanced technology. Although it's implied that the Sanctuary area was the first place they settled.
I think all their technology was invested in the Sanctuary Fortress, probably because that's where they lived. Torvus used to be a forest, and Agon was a fertile land, might've been used for agriculutral purposes and whatnot. I'd like to imagine it was just 'Sanctuary' before the Ing arrived, then they had to convert it into the 'Sanctuary Fortress' as the last stand against them.
It's so cool how the prime games use all sorts of unusual sounds to create music
kenji went off with the prime trilogy imo, i hope he does again for prime 4 :)
@@ethanclark640 Hope so!
@@ethanclark640 We need him to start composing for metroid games in general lol. Really needed him for dread.
the one dislike is from dark samus. which is actually a like in the dark world.
hehe good one

...Damn...he's onto me...
Uh oh looks like DS Came by *4* more times.........
@@BroAnarchy Nah, that’s just the Emperor Ing, the Boost Guardian, and Quadraxis!
@@AAZ-yu5ss dont forget the dark space pirates
Please Nintendo, *please* remaster this game just like Prime 1, I need to see this place again, with updated graphics on the switch
Would be amazing!
Yes
I’d even take a straight port at this point as long as they gave it remastered’s controls.
@@Comkill117 I have a sneaking suspicion Prime 1 was partly made because Nintendo wanted to test drive their new control scheme for use in Prime 4.

It is indeed darker. I think that contributes to the reason why I do prefer Prime 2 over 1. Glad you're enjoying it!
This game is absolutely more mature & not for the faint of heart. Otherwise dark Aether is very likely to get to you 😋
prime 1 and 2 are among some of my favorite games ever made, i think both contrast each other very well and each has their own strengths and weaknesses
Dark aether used to scare the shit out of me when I first played it. The whole thing was horrifying during my first playthrough.
Oh hell yeah, Sanctuary Fortress might be my favourite place in MP2.

Still no prime 4

Underrated track. It is beautiful!
It is! It was one of my favorites with Torvus Bog and some others.
It was my favorite
underrated game tbh
This is the most addictive theme in the whole game

Couldn't agree more! I'm really anxious that Prime 4 will have a very different feeling though...
Woaiauaouwaiiiaoao...
thanks, I was looking for the lyrics.
The music really captures the super advance tech of the sanctuary!
my favourite track of the game, it has this mysterious and ominous atmosphere... reaching this area for the first time is an unforgettable experience. Would love to see this thing remastered.
Let's hope Nintendo doesn't screw us over...
@@kruvik I hope they don't
Kenji did the whole soundtrack by himself and the first Prime game, he's a genius and a hard worker.
My one fear for Metroid Prime 4 is that Kenji Yamamoto won't compose the music. It's an absolute necessity for the Prime series.
After not hearing anything about it for so long, my fears grow stronger...
What about now @@kruvik
@@angelvillegas9604 Absolutely looking forward to it! I'm very glad that it looks like it's part of the trilogy and not weirdly different and "new-age" if you get what I mean.
@kruvik funny ppl are complaining it looks to much like prime 3. Can't please everyone I suppose
My favorite area in the prime trilogy.
Metroid prime 2 is a game ive never played but the soundtrack is incredible.
If you ever get the chance to play it, do it. Definitely can recommend it. Dolphin is always an option...
@@kruvik downloaded the dolphin emulator on my series x and started fresh with prime 1, game looks incredible in 4k!
@@Darian-mk1bw Very nice! Enjoy the crispy Prime series!
I play it on my GameCube through an hd adapter
@@kruvik best played in original hardware
welcome to Aether's futuristic city
Best track in the series!!
Imagine how beautiful the skybox is going to look if they make Prime 2 Remastered, just looking down and seeing that giant city below
Oh it would be amazing. I really hope the rumors that it's only a port are not true. Would be quite sad...
By far my favorite area in a Metroid game and one of my favorite areas in a video game.
My fav area in the entire series
PRIME 2 REMAKE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLZ
righttt? seeing phendrana makes me think of this and torvus
@@ethanclark640 torvus my beloved
masterpiece
Best area in the whole goddamn franchise, right here.
Sanctuary Fortress and Torvus Bog always feel special...
Damn, is it me or does this just go hard
ING smashers gave me the creeps in the middle room, cut through on morph ball to avoid the fight...now just vap 'em
with the power bomb
They still creep me out...
Una de los sitios más god de toda la saga Metroid Prime

It's like a computer from the 1980s discovers funk music for the first time
I ended up losing my save data some years ago which lead me to never fully completing the game. I think I should go for it again soon!
You should! After many years I booted up my GameCube 1 or 2 years ago and 100%-ed it on hard mode again. Felt great!
@@kruvik I've totally been playing again! So addicting to play at night for me.
@@tinotcg5815 Awesome! How far are you already?
Be careful, there's a glitch in Main Research where if you leave the room and return _before_ disabling the Echo Locks, the game softlocks.
@@ianfinrir8724 is that for both gamecube and wii versions of the game?
This part of the game is very difficult for my mind xD
Urgh, another boring map with rocks, cliffs and ohhhh....0:00
A man of culture i see
Oh great, it will probably be just another boring lifeless grey area as the oth...wow
