@Skeletor1979 I do get your complaints here, but I do have to say that having a game with the title DREAD, which seems to be all about a stalker chasing you, would lose its core if it had an easy mode, right? Because if you know that its easy then you have nothing to fear?
Just like a horror game would lose its whole horror element if you had an enemy chasing you, and you could just easily shoot it or something like that? Right?
And sure Metroid is not a horror game but it has been heavily influence by the Alien franchise and this game is clearly something they've wanted to do ever since SA-X was introduced in Fusion.
@Skeletor1979 it has to do with the fact that the "difficulty" in metroidvanias comes from the small amount of guidance which is integral to the game genre since those games are all about discovery and exploration. In terms of punishment, nearly no metroidvanias are punishingly difficult in any sense, except for maybe Hollow Knight.
Some people just don't like the mininal amount of guidance. That's just the way it is.
Also, the counter mechanic in Samus Returns is VERY forgiving with the counter mechanic. And it's really not that hectic, but maybe the game just isn't for you, which is dissapointing, but you know that happens.
In addition, making a game for a smaller and more niche fan base has nothing to do with going bankrupt or doing bad business overall.
There are countless of examples where a smaller franchise have tried to get more popular, and they immediately lost the very essence that made them loved in the first place.
I really recommend you to watch a presentation called "Why dark souls is the Ikea of video games", if you are more interested in the topic.
@Skeletor1979 all games do not have to be for everyone. Where ever did you get this idea? Some genres are niche for a reason, and trying to please everyone, pleases no one.
@Pirate1 it will be VERY useful but please I beg for everyone to keep themselves from buying that Amiibo. That fast travel mechanic should be free for everyone.
@faint well, yes it is the same genre technically, although this one will be an actual sequel to persona 5 and will have much more focus on story and environmental combat and dialogue like in the normal Persona games.
@Jokerwolf but. but it is lending it to your friend digitally with the family share function. And also there is nothing greedy in expecting multiple people to pay for access to a product that cost a lot of money to make... Atleast when we are talking about people who don't live under the same roof.
@ramu-chan I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the game is actually designed again almost from ground up for the switch version so it should run well. Atleast everything I've seen on Nintendo Treehouses has been promising, ofc that could be a "faked" presentation

Re: Random: The Song In This Metroid Dread Japanese Commercial Is A Certified Banger
@swoose maybe not bleak, but is sure as hell doesn't fit with music like this one. It would ruin the atmosphere and theme completely.

@nessisonett that's not dubstep at all.

Re: Random: Want To Develop For Nintendo Switch? Better Make Sure You're Not A Yakuza, Then
@Severian actually the Yakuza games are allowed to be made because one of Sega's big bosses is good friends with a Yakuza member.

@Jackpaza0508 the game's price might be the factor that makes the difference between the two.
