10 Cool Details in Metroid Dread (Part 2)

[@MasterLink221]

Here is a Detail I Just figured out, When looking at the Mission Log you can see that Samus Encounters/Destroys an EMMI, "Destroyed E.M.M.I.-06WB", I thought -06WB Was a Serial Code or something, untill i realized that 06 means its the 6th EMMI and WB means Wave Beam, This is true for all EMMI's as they all state their Weapon and Which number they are.

Regarding the Chozo language bits: Chozodian makes heavy use of suffixes to add context to words, so ORO and OROMEL are very likely different contexts of a similar term. Some theorize that "ORO" refers to simply "lift," as a sort of unbound contraption, while "OROMEL" is a static, land-based lift contraption. There's an entire community built around studying the Chozo language, and they've made remarkable strides in this regard.

ORO is gold in Spanish, maybe it means "goal/prize elevator" like an extra layer of meaning.

[@notquitenil]

@@oldkefka Current evidence points to middle-eastern languages as the primary inspiration for Chozodian, and any parallels with Spanish are coincidental. Given that MercurySteam is a Spanish developer, they were likely very careful to prevent their primary language from bleeding into Chozodian beyond simple homophones, to prevent it from sounding too familiar.

In the under water level, there's a part where you walk by a view of the under water through glass windows, in one window(I don't recall where exactly) as you pass by it, a shark attacks the window trying to get at you.

[@torvusbolt201]

In the files, Ker and Rem are referred to as "chozo_five" and "chozo_seven" respectively. Ai might mean "one", considering how "aimar" means "once", among other examples I don't remember atm I speculate that oromel is "updown", which would be very funny. Also, in-game, the last elevator only goes up, and all you see is "oro". The very last Adam briefing was supposed to be in Chozo, and apparently Raven Beak says "oro" in it, which apparently was supposed to mean "up"

The morph sphere one is awesome When she doesn't have it, she leans her hand at the place is more comfortable for her to look through When she has the morph ball, she leans her hand down so she can grt some impulse to go throw the place It's so natural and logical when you think about it

[@AndrevusWhitetail]

Actually, i think she puts her hand up without the Morph Ball so she can more easily kick her feet forward for the slide and conversely, put her hand down to be able to roll forward into a Morph Ball transformation.

To be fair, It Takes Two is awesome and extremely wholesome. The common trend of relationships today is that you should just get divorced and walk away, but It Takes Two puts a giant middle finger to that philosophy and teaches that marriages are worth fixing. I feel the same way about God of War 2018, how it pushed against the common trend of dad's being deadbeats or clowns that can't be taken seriously, and gives you a man with a brutal past who just wants to settle down and be at peace with his son.

4:44 I'm sure I'm unbelievably late to the party here but it just dawned on me. Seeing that the Chozo language can be translated into English letter for letter, and then spoken, makes me wonder if the scene where Quiet Robe speaks has been translated the same way. Like it isn't just random sounds, it's an actual language that someone came up with and wrote out in English in the script.

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

Mercury Steam has gone a long way. Working for Nintendo really does seem to force developers to fit into a certain level of quality and detail-rich subtelties even though the hardware is pretty limited. Guess that's why they've been around for so long. At this point it's kind of hard to believe that they are the same people who worked at Clive Barker's Jericho, which is this... kind of unremarkable shooter.

[@Hysteria98]

To be fair though, it was apparently MS that challenged Nintendo to make a new Metroid in the first place. Sakamoto literally left the series to die because he didn't end up with a console advanced enough for a better AI to develop the SA-X concept from Fusion.

[@JasonBoyce]

I thought Jericho was pretty good, just that it was only half the game. Great concept and pretty disturbing overall. A much more ambitious project than Undying, and even that one wasn't finished

[@AndrevusWhitetail]

Well, except Pokémon. TPC and GameFreak don't seem to be challenged that much to reach that level of polish given their recent outings. Still, one dev out of a dozen is still better than more.

@@AndrevusWhitetail I genuinely don't care in the slightest for Pokemon, but I assume you are talking about that Legends that is about to come out. I think. I'm all about Platinum Games' stuff, mainly Hideki Kamiya-directed games. The guy is a magician.

[@ExtremeAce]

@@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253 No just in general, Pokemon has lost some good qualities over time. From a point where they created a top tier game which pushed the DS to it's limitations being Black/White/Black2/White2 to a barebones game lacking any charm being Sword/Shield. And considering it's literally the highest grossing media franchise in the world, it's a damn shame how they can't produce games which can be claimed as one of the best for it's console. Maybe they'll put enough care in the recent game like they used to, but I don't really care much either.

my only complaint is the abilities that hardly get used. I would have liked to have seen her melee attack used more often in non-timing attacks for example. And yeah a phantom cloak use for some enemies.

[@DeskoDev]

@@joeskis One of my more minor complaints is that there aren't many secret/skippable abilities aside from Space Jump - I do agree that the upgrades that are there are underutilized though. Hell, I kinda wish there were more missile doors. I get that the charge beam doors are supposed to replace them in general, but missiles are easier to replenish than ever in Dread. Dare I say, they could have even brought back the 5-missile requirement without issue.

[@N.i.E.M.O]

While my opinions of Dread's overall graphics and sound design is 'mixed' to say the least, I do have to give them credit when it comes to a lot of the small details. The portrayal of Samus in particular seems like a perfect merger between her attitude as the lone, quiet ,and experienced bounty-hunter from the Prime games and the over-the-top acrobatics of Other M. It's a shame that the world of ZDR just feels so uninspired, particularly the 'technological' environments; the various labs and research stations all look very man-made, as if the Galactic Federation could have built all of it. It just doesn't evoke that same atmosphere of a truly ancient and 'alien' world like Super Metroid did with Zebes, or even the Prime games with Tallon IV, Aether, Elysia, Urtraygus, etc. And while the background elements do look pretty cool and exceptionally detailed at times, they often clash with the game's actual level-design, which feels messy, random, and maze-like simply for the sake of being confusing. I also feel that the decision to present much of the rooms as 'interconnected', on the same screen, actually detracts from the atmosphere as it just looks too 'gamey' - as if you are looking at an ant-farm.

[@ziggystardust7001]

While I do agree that the level design kind of dictates the games art style and environment design, I might have to disagree with the sound design. The game is brimming with great sound effects, audio, and jingles throughout the whole journey. And while the soundtrack is the weakest in all the 2D entries, it still does it’s fair job to set in the atmosphere, especially in the emmi rooms whenever one of the robots are still on patrol.
