Metroid Prime Trilogy Missing Graphical Effects from GCN Originals

As it would appear, there have been several graphical effects removed from the Wii version of the Metroid Prime.

is it just me or did i completely miss any sort of comparison in this vid???

LionheartAce5346d ago

Well, I noticed the water doesn't really ripple and there are less particle effects on charging beams. Nothing deal breaking to be honest, you would never notice unless you're looking for it. So far I've enjoyed it and didn't notice until this video. I love the controls. So good.

phosphor1125346d ago

But i certainly noticed those things and it bugged the crap out of me. Like the freeze noise was there, but it didn't show your blaster freeze over. I think I know why its not there. In the other MP games (for the GC) the gun was static, so all you have to do for effects was to overlay them over the gun.. freeze, heat waves.. etc. But now.. it's moving so thats harder to calculate accurately.

1 thing I DON'T understand though, is lack of moving water..I'm pretty sure the wii can handle all those features..

ChickeyCantor5345d ago

"freeze, heat waves.. etc. But now.. it's moving so thats harder to calculate accurately. "

I dont think thats a problem since the frost object could just take the position and rotation from the gun.

It would be interesting if someone interviewed them on this.

Lightning looks good though

phosphor1125344d ago

I concur. I would really want to know why they didn't include those things? I'm sure they could have. Also, yes, the lighting is better.

I for one hate the Wii controllers. I tried playing Corruption but the game sucked and the Wii controllers just made my writ hurt. As far as I am concerned the first game was the nest of the trilogy.

GFahim5345d ago

just dont know how to play a WII FPS.

DrRobotnik5346d ago

Probably the reason is space. They needed to squeeze 3 games on to one disk. So something had to go.

DanteLinkX5345d ago

Nope, its not space, Metroid Prime Trilogy is a Dual Layer DVD, it has 8.5 GBs, Echoes is 4.5GBs and the other 2 cube metroids are 3.8GBs (as a total), I know this because I looked around in the howebrew scene.

DrRobotnik5345d ago (Edited 5345d ago )

ok 4.5+3.8=8.3....now factor in the extra coding for the motion controls and new interface when selecting weapons, and any other extras they might have added or secrets. Yeah, something had to go.

ChickeyCantor5345d ago

"now factor in the extra coding for the motion"
Why do people think a script is tons of gigs.

The control coding is perhaps ALMOST an Mb.

Just like how people think monster hunter 3cant add more content while in fact the game is only 2.7 gb

ReservoirDog3165345d ago

Who cares? It's still a good game and I'm still gonna get it once I can save up enough.

Alex_Mexico5345d ago (Edited 5345d ago )

when you port a 7 year old game into a "more powerful" system one generation later you kinda expect "more" rather than "less".
Yes, its small changes what it lacks but still: WTF.

CobraKai5345d ago

That's exactly how I feel. I was expecting slightly better graphics, not slightly worse. I'm content with my GC originals and muh original uncensored Prime 3.

Metroid Prime Remastered is Great, But a Trilogy Collection Would have Been Better

Players jumping into the series before Metroid Prime 4 releases need access to the entire trilogy on the Switch, not just Metroid Prime Remastered.

Imagine Metroid Prime using UE 5?, thank you Nintendo you are ossummm! :D

badz149440d ago

you want them to melt all the Switch worldwide?

PhillyDillyDee441d ago

Theyre gonna pull some BS, just watch. Im betting 1 and 2 will be sold individually then 3 will be a part of a trilogy pack.

Petebloodyonion441d ago

I don't know why everybody is praising Nintendo for remastering Prime1 when they became silent radio on Prime4.
As much as I can see the game looking better it's still played exactly like the Metroid prime 1 on Gamecube or the Trilogy version that I also own on Wiiu (It's the Wii version but it was made a Wiiu title)

--Onilink--441d ago

Because its a great remaster? And actually reasonably priced against all odds?

I dont need them to be telling me every six months that Prime 4 is still coming. They are developing the game and will show more details when its ready, simple as that.

I have no problems with Nintendo not showing it yet if they still don’t want to

jambola441d ago

it's 40
I've seen better remastered trilogies for roughly the same, hell I've seen collections 5 times bigger for half the price

Petebloodyonion441d ago

and they released the COMPLETE trilogy on Wii-u for 20$
https://www.gamespot.com/ar...

--Onilink--441d ago

@pete

And that was still the Wii version, with literally no WiiU enhancements whatsoever…

I 100% prefer a remaster of the level we got at $40 than just a simple upres port of the trilogy at $60 like it has happened with basically every other Nintendo remaster so far, or even worse for them to release a Wii port for $20 with no enhancements

Not to mention this is clearly part of the work Retro is doing graphically for Prime 4

Tacoboto441d ago

That's not accurate on either part. The Wii U "title" is only just the Wii version - motion controls and 480p only. This version is the first version with dual-stick controls so that alone makes the feel of this different than either version 10 or 20 years ago.

Petebloodyonion441d ago

Yes like I said the Wii u is the Wii version but was billed as a Wiiu game the point it appears straight into the Wii-u Menu and not the Wii one like the Wii game but it is essentially the Wii Trilogy offered at a discount price at the time with remote controls.

PhillyDillyDee441d ago

As much as you can see? Guess you missed the part about modernized controls. I also saw a video that showed off an updated soundtrack.

Petebloodyonion441d ago

Ok they modernized control... update the music basically exactly what they did with the Wii trilogy (that supported motion control-like corruption)
My point isn't that the game is fined tune but the fact that ppl celebrate Nintendo for not delivering something that was a major announcement in 2017.
How would ppl feel if Sony was announcing Uncharted 5 and after 6 years they would release a remaster of the 1st Uncharted or if the upcoming Perfect Dark by MS is ... the remaster of the 1st one so you can still wait.

Heck I can already see the Xbox has no game or can't make a game comment flooding in

And also you know that they didn't made the trilogy so they can release the others game later on.

Neonridr441d ago

and TLOU on PS5 plays exactly the same as it does on PS4. What's your point? A great game deserves to be enjoyed by a larger audience.

Petebloodyonion441d ago (Edited 441d ago )

and the majority of the crowd dissed Sony for basically remastering a Ps4 titles
how many reviews gave it a great score but mentioned that the price was too high?
Heck, go see Angry joe review it's the perfect satire where he basically goes fetch the review of the Ps4 changes some filters, renames the file name to Tlou part 1, and press play.
Also, did NaughtyDog announce Tlou3 Part 5 years ago?

Again my issue isn't that they remaster a great game it's the fact that they are giving a middle finger to fans of the actual trilogy (ppl like me who basically own all previous versions) while saying get ready for parts 2 and 3 before the damn part 4.

And let's be clear if Microsoft would have put that crappy move with a 40$ Remake of Halo1 instead of Infinite
the negative comments would have flooded this thread.
Heck just wonder what would happen if MS release a Perfect Dark remaster instead of the new one?

Tacoboto440d ago

What are you on, Pete?

Halo CE already got remade, in 2011. Then it got re-released again as part of MCC in 2014. It's still getting updated. Nintendo hasn't said anything about remakes of Prime 2 or 3. The only TLOU being officially worked on is Factions and Part 1 PC.

What you're saying here is wrong, your initial post is wrong, and all of your follow ups have been wrong.

jambola441d ago

but that would be expected to cost less and nintendo doesn't like things costing less
especially when people keep supporting that anyway

Profchaos441d ago

Metroid fans for years: "we want prime remastered."

Metroid fans after getting what they want: "yeah.... It's ok but where's the rest"

Rage77441d ago

Notice that the people bitchin aren't the "Nintendo Fans".
That age old myth of "Crazed, Zealot acting Nintendo fans" is a construct from years of trolling coming from
"opposite camp fans".
Most of the people you see complaining here arent true Nintendo fans, they are low key "imposters" that fake
"concern", because "they care" when in reality you only see praising only what others do but Nintendo in teir eyes can only do wrong...its gotten old and it didnt work against the Switch's success and it probably never will.
In the meantime, i prefer to enjoy stuff instead of being day in and day out "disapointed" in the stuff i dont care about. Would it had been nice to have all 3? Sure, does it make this one less great? Abso-F&^in-lutely NOT. :)

jambola441d ago

Lol
"Not true Nintendo fans" ok

jambola441d ago

It's almost like there are a variety of people on the internet with varying opinions
Crazy

Rage77441d ago

Ah yes, There are in fact many with varied opinions and that in itself is a great thing to have, what is not so great is the people who either try to either force their opinions on to you, or try to guilt you into either feeling bad or dumb for not conforming to their opinion. Or as an alternative those who dont have a valid argument and resort to either belittling others or going for low petty insults to puff their egos online.
I personally care for none of the examples above, but have seen a lot of it happen for many years now.
I stick to being around peeps who enjoy the medium (video games) and dont feel the need to crap over somebody else's enjoyment.
