That's what I said, when I heard about missile expansions only adding one missile, Adam. Also, that hologram Space Pirate is part of a training module at the start of the game. It's been said that the various exotic environments are holographic simulations, but it wasn't explicitly stated anywhere that all the wildlife/enemies would be holographic as well. We'll have to see how it turns out in a few weeks...

that image sends chills down my spine. spending 20 minutes to refill six energy tanks is not cool.

the concentrate move isn't worth getting worked up about. i think it'll be much more minor than people are making it out to be; it takes up to 10 complete seconds to perform, only refills one tank, and may only be available when your health is very low. in other words, it's an emergency stop gap until you reach a recharge station, not a casual way of refilling your health freely whenever you feel like it.

save stations are apparently the only way to completely refill, meaning that between stations you're pretty much on your own. if you're going to worry about anything, it should be that this game isn't f'ing around with the difficulty.

@romulux: It has already been said that you'll only be able to refill one energy tank via the concentration move only when your health is critical. The main purpose of it is to refill your missiles, not your health...

that's my point. when people heard there were no pickups they just assumed concentrate would cover everything; a lot of the people complaining about the move are looking at it as if it's the default way to refill your health, replacing pickups dropped by enemies in the other games, when really there is no comparable way to refill your health in this game (aside from stations).

no one's talking about the fact that this game is much more survival oriented because of the near total lack of health refills because we didn't know until recently how limited the concentrate move is. i think that's a much more interesting gameplay change than the concentrate move itself.

Must...not...give in to Other M...

fix'd

Less than 3 weeks!!!!!!

this might be the first post-zero suit samus that looks like a real person

sooooooo HAWT

Man!! If you think thats 'HAWT' you wanna pop your head out of your bedroom window and try checking out some real women,they'll blow your mind!

She looks pretty generic in that photo. Since when does she wear a headset piece?

Did you not know???!!! After defeating Mother Brain she temped for a while at a call centre selling life insurance. It'll all come out in the cut scenes,you'll see.

Well, she looks more real.....

I don't know why, but I have a Strong feeling that this Game is going to Fail....

at least give it a chance. if you expect it to fail going in then that's probably what you'll come away with. also, weird choice of capitalization there.

i think this new samus is just as good as the metroid prime model:

Nice art.

Here's more of the same artist..

@romulux: That's one awesome cover...

hey im new here. been reading this thread. i will chime in by saying this game looks awesome. sakamoto knows his stuff, this will be a good game. if the story is worth its salt, it might be another classic.

@RememberMe: Welcome aboard, sir. I agree with your assumption as well, and kudos on your screen name...

thank you. i figured i'd make it something humorous lol
