Metroid Prime Review

I played Metroid Prime. It was incredible.

Retro Studios perfectly translated Metroid game design into 3D, with a satisfyingly complex non-linear map, and puzzles that feel more alien than any Metroid I’ve played so far.

The environment design and atmosphere are some of the best I’ve ever seen. Every single region and room on Tallon IV is gorgeous and fun to explore, and collecting upgrades is just as satisfying as the 2D games. The graphics are amazing, with awesome lighting, and cool details like seeing rain droplets on Samus’ visor, or even her own reflection.

I got used to pressing R to aim decently quick, and after a while it became second nature. Plus with the lock-on it’s really not a problem. The sidestep dodge is fun, too, and the bosses are very challenging but rewarding.

The story is also wonderfully fantastical, with some really cool sci-fi ideas, and some very disturbing content for a first-party Nintendo game. I love how you collect pieces of the backstory through documents, like a traditional horror game.

Kenji Yamamoto and Kouichi Kyuma��s music is mind-blowing. It’s officially dethroned Super as my favorite soundtrack in the franchise I’ve heard so far. The synths are sweeping and beautiful, the grooves are badass, the melodies are fantastic. It’s perfect. In fact, this entire game is perfect. A total masterpiece. I can’t stop gushing about it enough. I’m almost completely sure it’s my new favorite Metroid.

5/5

My Favorite Unreal Engine Games!

Unreal engine has a special place in my own history with game design, as it was one of the first game engines I learned to make custom maps with during my college classes. The game we used was Unreal Tournament 2004, which was also the game that got me more into PC gaming in general. It's an engine I've long enjoyed working with, so I wanted to have a showcase of some of my favorite games using this engine from over the years!

UNREAL GOLD

The one that started it all. A great single player FPS adventure across an alien world where you play as escaped prisoner who befriends the planets friendly Nali folk and help protect them from an army of not-so-nice Skaarj. This one runs on the OG unreal Engine 1, which is quite pretty and for a game engine from the 90s, probably blew plenty of folks' socks off!

UNREAL TOURNAMENT SERIES (UT1, UT2004, UT3, UT4)

Using the same universe as Unreal 1's story adventure, unreal Tournament centers around a blood sport tournament hosted by the Liandri Mining Corporation as a means of entertainment for bored miners. This simply backstory sets the stage for the Epic's long-lasting multiplayer-based Unreal games, with the usual classic game modes such as Deathmatch and Capture the flag. Lots of replay value is added thanks to the robust modding community for the franchise, and for folks who don't want to deal with the risk of meeting toxic assholes in online matches, the series thankfully provides bots enemies you can play against as well! The engines of the games range all the way from the original up to Unreal Engine 4, after which Epic sadly killed off the series.

Sadly, a few years ago Epic decided to be douche bags and pull these games from all digital storefronts, along with the single player ones as well. If you can't find a physical copy, don't feel bad about yo-ho-ho-ing that shit (especially UT4 as it never got a physical release at all)!

UNREAL 2 THE AWAKENING

While I prefer the original, the sequel the Unreal 1/Gold is still another solid single player FPS adventure. There's a lot more complex story-line and character interaction going on in this one, as you get to relax between missions on your own ship and talk with your crew mates. Only big flaws I found in this one is that it did rear an uncomfortable habit that Epic had for a while with the Unreal games - dressing their female characters in ridiculously sexist attire. This one runs on the Unreal 2.0 Engine, a nice looking upgrade to the original engine that still ran smoothly on every computer I've ever tried it on.

BORDERLANDS SERIES

Okay, some of these feel like a bit of cheating - I've never actually beaten a Borderlands game. However, I have briefly played Borderlands 1 and 2, and watched my family play the crap out of all the games. They're great games, from all I've seen, So I'm still going to give them my approval. Colorful, funny, violent, queer-positive, They've have it all!

Most of the games are first-person shooters, but there's also a couple adventure games in the form of the Tales from the Borderlands titles. The first is using a different engine, but New Tales from the Borderlands uses Unreal Engine. All of the FPS titles use either Unreal 3.0 or 4.0.

There's no DRM free versions on PC, sadly, but all of the games have received physical releases on consoles, at-least.

KILLING FLOOR SERIES

Killing Floor started as mod for Unreal Tournament 2004, and later evolved into several standalone games! Most of the games are arena-based, you pick a map to play in and get to see how long you can survive fighting off waves of freaky monster people until the big boss arrives. You can play solo or online to team up with other players to fight the monsters. A couple of the games also have a story mode, namely the original mod version and the VR game Killing Floor incursion. These games are great fun and long-time favorite of mine, the only downer being that after the initial mod all other games are developed by tripwire, a gross company I stopped giving money to years ago. Thankfully, Killing Floor 2 is available as physical console games, so you can pick those up without giving tripwire money. The Killing Floor games have also show up in humble bundles several times, so keep an eye on those for a chance to get the games while giving all the money to charity instead of tripwire. Killing Floor 3 is currently in development, and hopefully these workarounds will exist for that game as well so I can try it out one day.

The original mod uses Unreal 2.0, while Killing Floor uses a special "midpoint" 2.5, which adds some nice features to the original 2.0 engine such as light bloom effects. KF2 uses Unreal engine 3, and KF3 is planned to run on Unreal 5.0.

HOLLOW MOON (UT2004 MOD)

Hollow Moon is a mod for Unreal Tournament 2004. It's basically the Backrooms in space! A great and creepy experience where you wander and explore an abandoned moon base, presented in an artsy black and white silent film style, accompanied by a haunting soundtrack.

NAISANCEE

Continuing with the theme of Unreal Engine liminal space games, NaissanceE has you exploring a massive, strange world trying to find your way out. It's a little spooky, and very mysterious. The art and sound design are fantastic. It's also both free AND DRM free, so you can back up your own copy of the game! My only complaints are that there a couple sections of the game where the lighting and platforming gets hard to understand through poor lighting or awkward physics.

The game runs on Unreal Engine 3, and it's almost always a visual treat.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 isn't actually out yet, but it's a very rare example of an upcoming AAA game I'm actually excited for, so I wanted to mention it here. It will be the first title in the series to use Unreal engine, as all of the previous titles were made in GSC Gameworld's own X-Ray Engine. Hopefully the game will be just as fun, cool and spooky as the original trilogy when it comes out! And I hope the dev team is all keeping safe from putin's little homophobic warmongering clown show.

UNLUCKY (shameless self-plug!)

Yup, our very own project "Unlucky" is also an Unreal Engine game! We're using Unreal Engine 5, which I haven't had as much experience with as 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0, but I'm learning my way around it as I test out my 3d models in-engine. :)

Gremlins: Stripe Vs Gizmo - PS2

We the Mogwai brotherhood gather together just as we did so many years ago in a secret location deep within. The Himalayan Mountains in Kathmandu Nepal. This exact day many years ago we gathered to say goodbye to this little Mogwai who is now known as Gizmo. Today we gather together to celebrate his heroic actions and his crushing victory in the last Gremlin invasion in the very town of Kingston Falls a few short years ago. Let us pay homage to his courage. His will and his intelligence which make him a role model for us all. Gizmo in the proud Mogwai tradition we will now all sing in your honor...

Gizmo! What happened? ...Oh no! Six new Mogwais have just been created! It's almost midnight. We must keep them from eating. You take care of the one with the white stripe on his head! We'll take care of the others. Hurry up! Stripe is escaping! Take a boxing glove and bring him back to us!

[HERE'S AN IDEA THAT'S NOT YET A PITCH YET THIS TIME IT'S ACTUALLY A GOOD AND INTERESTING ONE]

Vigilante: Anarchy

What is it —

An action-adventure, third-person shooter that deals in modern day outlaws, gangsters, drug operations and criminals.

PREMISE:

Set in the fictional Byron City, New York, the game follows Franklin Beaumont, an experienced Punisher-type crime fighting vigilante who's in his first year and yet has already made a name for himself with the criminal underworld and police department. A mysterious force that leaves bodies hanging, riddled with bullets, he's now the only person for the job of taking back the city now that a series of violent riots has lead to the criminals, gangs and mobs taking over two entire sections of said city.

NOTES/TRIVIA/DETAILS:

• When it comes to the character of Franklin Beaumont, he will be voiced by Tom Hardy and his backstory for the most part will be kept ambigious with some of the few things we know on him are he was once a high-ranking officer in the Marine Corps, the captain of the BCPD and that his family who he had a troubled and dysfunctional relationship with were killed in cold blood in a robbery gone wrong.

• The game will be a very hard MA rating. While they're won't be swearing non-stop every one or two minutes, the violence will be brutal, creative and visceral. But at the same time, it won't be just non-stop gun shooting. I want there to be actual variety in stealth, how you kill people and the hand-to-hand combat.

• As for who makes the game, that's easy. It's Hundred Stars Games. The new company from the former founders of Rocksteady, this is basically the hard R version of Arkham City and even Origins even though they didn't make the latter.

• Now this should be interesting — I have in mind who should do the score and that's the underrated as hell Christopher Drake with him giving it the same epic and blood-pumping music of Origins in a new setting.

• Another thing that should be interesting is all of the easter eggs and secrets, some of them will be flat-out references either direct or blatant that heavily imply a retroactive shared universe with other media that shows there's more to this world than a former U.S. marine and cop-turned-vigilante. For example, when hacking into a boat in a certain district and the shipyard, you can discover a secret lair where you find a new and improved black Survey Corps uniform, a crown, a red flowing cloak and several photos of two women (presumably in a relationship) doing several things together — it's Mikasa Ackerman and Historia Reiss.

[Image ID: A gifset containing four gifs of the first person game Neon White.

Gif 1 shows a first person perspective of the player character, Neon White, in two different levels. One level is set amongst the rooftops of white buildings in the clouds and the player is using a Soul Card with the Stomp ability to jump off a ledge and slam down in front of an enemy. The scene transitions to a different level inside a building with warm lighting. One enemy points a read laser beam at the player as they destroy another enemy.

Gif 2 shows Neon White speaking to the character Neon Violet in a typical visual novel layout. Neon Violet’s text box says, “You can just really tell a lot about someone by how they’d like to be murdered.” Neon White asks, “So this is a question you ask a lot?” and Neon Violet replies, “On every date, yes.”

Gif 3 shows a first person perspective of the player switching between Soul Cards. The player first uses the Soul Card labeled as Purify, which appears as a purple card with an assault rifle’s silhouette on it, to shoot at enemies. The player approaches a ledge and switches to the yellow Soul Card labeled as Elevate, which displays a silhouette of a pistol, to float to the next part of the level.

Gif 4 shows Neon White and another character talking to the NPC Mikey. They are in a standard visual novel layout. Mikey appears to be an orange cat with triangular sunglasses on a floating cloud. A text box displays Mikey’s dialogue saying, “If you saw my true form you’re freakin’ head would explode!!”
