Opmerkelijke constatering in Corrupt persbericht!
Corruptie bij Retro Studios of gaat het hier gewoon om de subnaam van Metroid Prime 3? Hadden we eerder vandaag al vijf nieuwe screens en het nieuwe logo van de directe opvolger van Echoes, hebben we nu een persbericht waaruit duidelijk wordt dat de multiplayer, zoals we die nog in deel twee hadden, verleden tijd is. Je zal dus slechts in je eentje in het pak van Samus Aran kunnen kruipen. Over online mogelijkheden wordt niet gerept, maar ook dat kunnen we waarschijnlijk helaas niet in Retro Studios' nieuwste pareltje. Voor het gehele persbericht, zie hieronder.
Metroid Prime® 3 Corruption Format: Nintendo Wii™ Launch Date: 08/20/07 ESRB: RP (Rating Pending) Game Type: First-Person Adventure Accessories: Wii Remote and Nunchuk™ controllers Players: 1 Developer: Retro Studios KEY INFORMATION If you think you knew what it felt like to be the bounty hunter behind the visor, think again. Take aim at evil with Nintendo’s revolutionary controller. Players control Samus by moving with the Nunchuk controller and aiming with the pointer, allowing for a level of immersion unlike anything they have ever experienced. Through the eyes of Samus, players experience a quantum leap in first-person control as they wield the Wii Remote controller, the ultimate device for the first-person shooter genre. Samus will employ well-known power-ups like the Grapple Beam and Morph Ball, as well as a bunch of new surprises, to help her survive her coming trials. Game storyline Six months have passed since the events on the planet Aether. The Galactic Federation’s network computer, Aurora Unit, is suddenly and completely corrupted with something like a virus. The Federation believes Space Pirates may be behind the problem and, beginning with Samus, starts to contact bounty hunters. As they explain the situation to the assembled hunters, the Federation is attacked by the pirates. Samus and the other hunters leap to the defense of the Federation capital, only to find that the enemy the hunters face is the presumed-dead Dark Samus. Dark Samus is armed with immense power that no one can withstand. It soon becomes obvious that the forces controlling Dark Samus and the terror of the contaminated Phazon are a dire threat that could corrupt the entire universe. Characters Samus, Dark Samus, the Galactic Federation and new bounty hunters. How to progress through the game: The war initiated by Dark Samus and the Space Pirates rages across many planets as they attempt to corrupt each with Phazon seeds. Players use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to explore alien landscapes, hunt for weapons and information, and destroy the seeds. Saving the planets from corruption isn’t enough, though. Eventually, players must take down Samus’ mortal enemy, Dark Samus. Special powers/weapons/moves/features Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers, players will be able to grasp and pull things by using actual arm movements, as well as execute amazing feats like aiming and blasting in midair or at a full run. The game also incorporates a new system involving Phazon. If you fill Samus’ Phazon supply to a certain level, Samus will temporarily go into hyper mode, a state in which she can pull off incredible feats; on the flip side, if she exceeds the maximum Phazon level, she’ll perish. Also, for the first time in the Metroid series, Samus’ ship will be used in active game play.
