this was another one of the games i got to play, after another 600 hours waiting in line. it was also the one i most anticipated playing.
gamecube's "metroid prime" is my favorite game in the past, oh, 5+ years or so, and certainly one i'd gladly place in the all-time list. the style and presentation are amazing, with the most detailed environments and ambience i've ever experienced in a game. the story and perspective and atmospheres were just so damn flawlessly intertwined. great shit.
when "corruption" was announced last year, and footage was shown, i was actually somewhat disappointed. thats when 'revolution' was first deemed graphically inferior to the other two next-next gen systems, and it really showed -- prime 3 looked nearly identical to 1 and 2.
gone are
those thoughts.
the game is beautiful. the framerate was insane. the attention to detail was spectacular. though, at first glance, and even when watching video of gameplay the day before, the game is noticeably built upon the same infrastructure, in person, there's such a tremendous upgrade. everything was gorgeous, and knowing that the demo i played will be nearly 10 months old by the game's final release, im sure it will get better still.
