Was anyone else disappointed by the announcement of Metroid Prime: Federation Force for 3DS? I've been waiting for a Metroid game on the 3DS ever since I bought it, and when one finally gets announced, it turns out to be a generic multiplayer shooter with no actual Metroid elements other than "being set in the Metroid Prime universe". Maybe it won't be a bad game. It very well could be great fun. But why on earth did they have to slap the Metroid name on to this game? 
All I'm saying is, I'm pretty disappointed that the one Metroid game we get on a system where we've been waiting to get a Metroid title on is a cheap, unimaginative spinoff. How did you guys feel about this game's announcement at this year's E3?

If I'm going to be brutally honest here, my advice for people is just to keep quiet. I personally was not disappointed, as the game looks like it would be quite a lot of fun, and I am almost 100% positive that there will be much more to the game than everyone speculates. Everyone looks at it and thinks, okay, its going to be a multiplayer game with absolutely no background, but I highly doubt that. Considering the Metroid series as a whole, that isn't unwarranted.

It is clear that the game has much more focus on the Galactic Federation rather than just Samus herself, and if it ends up having a kind of story/campaign mode, this would be quite the interesting break away from what is traditionally "Metroid".

SMBLOZ123 : I see what you're saying. Like I said, it very well could be a great game. But really, Metroid is about atmosphere, loneliness, and exploration. I'm all for series changing gears and whatnot, but this just seems totally out of left field (in a bad way) for a Metroid title and seems to me that there is no real reason for this game to even have the word "Metroid" in its title other than to sell more copies.

Everyone was disappointed. Just look at the number of dislikes on the trailer!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGu3Xe1uUUg
Over 73,000 compared to 7,000 is a lot.

And there's a petition to cancel it.

Pros and cons of the trailer from my perspective:

+ Co-op. I love co-op, I ****ING LOVE CO-OP. The only games that have boring Co-Op are the games that pretend the 2nd player doesn't exist (Fable III's co-op wasn't even worthy of being called Co-Op).

- Even for an early development game, the graphics suck really bad.
- Even the graphics
design is bad. Those Federation Force guys look like midget cadets.
- Obviously not going to have a good story.
- No Samus. Does that also mean no Metroids? Does that mean IT SHOULDN'T BE CALLED A METROID GAME?
- Co-op exclusive
- I couldn't see any different weapon powerups. Every character just has a regular arm cannon.

I feel that a lot of people are making tons of negative assumptions from no solid proof... 

I mean how can you tell if a game would have a solid story from what we've seen so far,,,

Honestly it seems that the biggest gripe people have with the game is that it has Metroid in the Title. It's a spin off, set in the Metroid world. So it would make sense to state that it is in the title..

I just feel that it deserves a chance to be played before everyone rallies to get it cancelled, you never know it could be a diamond in the rough... it wouldn't be the first after all.

I mean I will admit the it has been getting insane amounts of hate before we barely even knowing anything about it, but at the same time I can sort of see where longtime fans are coming from, I mean finally getting a Metroid title and this is it.

Well either way I don't care too much, I haven't played that much of metroid to begin with, I've only played Super Metroid some time ago as well as having played some of Prime way back when I had a gamecube, I never really got hooked on the series, so I couldn't really get upset to it to begin with

But yeah who knows, people are making a lot of negative assumptions, maybe the developers of the game will prove people wrong.

I've never been a huge fan of Metroid, but I gotta say after seeing the trailer, I've gotta say I'm very disgusted with the whole thing. For one thing, the graphics look horrible for a 3ds game, it looks more like something you'd see from the DS era. I don't know what they're thinking with this multiplayer game, but what I do know is all the hate it's receiving is completely justified. I've never been this disgusted with a trailer before, and I'm not even a Metroid fan to begin with.

Well to be honest, the game is not half bad, the graphics looks like some kind of DS graphics, and it is Co-op exclusive, I have Metroid Prime Trilogy on my wii, maybe i should try this one myself.

If I can take the gloves off and be perfectly honest here, I don't see any real reason to complain on the fans part. I mean did we really get this upset whenever they announced a Super Mario RPG? Or did we get this upset whenever they announced a Mario kart racing game? Did we get so upset when they announced Mario golf or tennis? No these are all series that we all began to fall in love with after we gave them some time, and it's likely that this Metroid game --being a spin-off just like Mario Kart was a super Mario-- will be good popular as well.

I can understand being disappointed that you're not getting a full fledged Metroid title, but at the same time don't look at it as a negative thing that they're bringing a spinoff of the series. If anything this is good for Metroid and could even spawn more of the classic games if this takes off, as it can bring Metroid back into the spotlight.

It's entirely possible that this game won't be for you if you're a classic Metroid fan, but again that doesn't mean anything bad, as a spin-off doesn't replace a game or show or whatever, it's simply a side "What if" experience, not unlike "What if Mario and Bowser were golf buddies instead of arch enemies?".

So yeah disappointment is understandable, I just don't understand all this hate that everybody is given it. As for the arguments against it, how do we know it's not going to have a solid story just because we saw a clip of gameplay? There are shooters they have great story lines. For example (and I talk about this too much) Winback had a great story for a game of its time, and it was a shooter. Genre means nothing about the story, that's like saying that every RPG that's ever been made or ever will be made is going to have a great story, but we've already seen that isn't true. So this game may have a great story, and the gameplay may be great as well, and it's too early to judge the graphics or say if this game is going to be fun or not, there's really no way of knowing until we play it.

So I say let's give it a shot and then we can determine whether it was a good idea or bad idea. That's just my two cents.
