In short:
" We' re happy to report that it simulates the accuracy of PC first-person shooters almost perfectly, and we found ourselves soaring through levels, zipping around corners, pulling quick turns and zapping down enemies with pinpoint precision without seconds. Simply put, Retro has nailed it - and it makes the wait to 2007 for the game that much more difficult. We' re not kidding when we write that Prime 3 feels like a brand new game with this control."

So it seems Retro studios " nailed it" . I' m very relieved, especially since I love Metroid Prime. And the fact that the graphics were impressive is filling me with joy .
I can' t wait, it' s too bad the game has been delayed.

Wow, I' m behind. I wasn' t aware it' d been delayed. Well, now they have no excuse not to do a good job.

That' s good though, because I saw the Red Steel-Esque controll scheme, and it just didn' t look to good for anything that requred quick response time.

Hard to tell from those clips but the lighting is definitely much better. Particle effects and stuff like that is supposed to be better too. Other than that it hasn' t changed much, at least nothing I can notice in those clips.
You haven' t played Metroid Prime on the GCN? Man, you really should!

Echoes f**king kills Halo 2 as far as a single player game goes.

...yeah i know.....

....i' m watching that 98MG HD demo, and i' m pretty genuinely impressed... ...this game looks GORGEOUS!!! .....silky smooth 60fps ...beautifully vibrant sci fi hues...

...i think i wanna go for a wii...

this game is so fuckin awesome!!! and the new control scheme is soooo coool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Samus interacts with some people? Cuts-cenes? Holy crap - I can' t wait for this game (have you seen how cool enemies look and move?)

I never liked Metroid Prime but I can see how fans would be looking foward to the next one using the wiimote.

I think Metroid Prime was an outstanding achievemetn and innovative game.I didn' t like it as much as I' d like to - even though I' ve finished it (it felt boring at times).

I didn' t bother with Echoes since it' s based on " more of the same" concept and my 1h experience with it, only aproved this opinion.

This new one seems to be a totally different game (you know what I mean) - if it is as different as it seems , then I' m getting it ASAP :)

You won;t be the only one gatting it ASAP!!!!
