Saying backtracking is time consuming does not mean I want a linear game. Metroidvanias are about exploring but after backtracking through magmoor caverns for the 20 millionth time, that doesn't add any thing other than pad out the game's length. It's a late game problem that would need a clever fast travel solution. That would absolutely not ruin metroid nor does it mean I don't understand the point of a metroidvania. This isn't my first one and other metroidvanias have figured fast travel out without it harming the game.
there IS a hint system for finding the artifact keys, although the game doesn't really tell you that that is what it is.. in ridley's boss arena, you can scan the statues and they'll give you log entries that explain where each key is hidden, and they'll have a room name highlighted. looking on your map, you'll see that whenever you have a room highlighted, the room's name will be displayed in the UI. match that up with a key's log entry, and you'll know you need to do some extra sleuthing in that room to find it. But even with that, some of these keys are just a massive bitch to find, like that power bombable wall in phendrana that is completely camouflaged against the scenery. and at least in the original game, wasn't scanable. the only way you'd know that there was something behind it was if you turned on your xray visor, which.. why the hell anyone do that in the first place? using xray to look through rocks never comes up anywhere else in the game that i remember.
The hint for that specific artifact in Phendrana's Edge literally says: "look for the unseen entrance at its top". And by that point in the game you know that the visors are helpful to detect invisible objects and enemies within the world. If players can't put 2 and 2 together, that's really on them.
@@samy29987 There's also the fact that there's a door marked in the 3d map. People give too much shit to that artifact. I'd argue the one that needs the tower to be knocked down is way more obtuse.
There's a version of Dolphin someone made which allows you to play all three Metroid Prime games on PC with keyboard and mouse controls. It's an amazingly good experience. Highly recommend it to anyone who just played the remaster and wants to experience the other two games in the series, or for people like me who don't own a Switch.
@@hectord3013 What do you mean? I don't have a switch, and I'm not about to go and buy one just for a single game. Especially not when that game is a remaster of a game which I just replayed like six months ago.
@@TheLadderman it isn't the only switch game, and it isn't the only Metroid game on the console, I assume that you just download illegally Metroid Dread too
@@hectord3013 No, I just haven't played it. I haven't bought a Switch because I don't care enough about any of the games to spend several hundred dollars on one, is it that difficult to understand?
I'm amazed how good the graphics are and the controls are spot on! I bought a copy yesterday and been playing ever since and I gotta go back and buy another copy to put in my unopened game collection.
This is what I consider to be one of the greatest games of all time that has aged really well. Retro knock it out of the ball park then, and this remaster proves they still have that magic.
Hey I remember watching you a while back when I started getting into Halo And now you are doing a video on one of my favorite games Keep up the good content man
I loved how they shadow dropped this one at the Nintendo Direct, bought it the same day, well done Nintendo, keep it going with remasters of 2, 3 and eventually release Prime 4 please? ;)
It has been a delight to play through this game. I never owned any of the original Prime games but one of my good friends did and I have a lot of fun memories of watching him play through Prime 2 and 3 and get absolutely smashed in Prime 2's multiplayer. I've been eagerly awaiting this game to get a remaster or remake and jt has been well worth the wait, I'm super impressed with how well done it is.
They absolutely nailed the controls in this version. The Wii-style pointer controls with the JoyCons is a nice touch too. Will also say Metroid Prime 2 has much better boss battles, though they are significantly harder and a sore point for some players.
I like using Dual Stick and then enabling gyro. Lets me use the joycons to whip around the room quickly and then fine time my aim with motion. Makes canvassing areas for scan nodes a breeze. It would have been nice to have a way to do the lock-on dash without being locked on to something (clicking the sticks in are unused), but oh well. I feel like the "bar" between remaster and remake mostly comes down to if mechanics are adapted to new controller schemes and allow for new ways to play that you couldn't accomplish with the original controller.
@@tomt7986 Considering the Switch is on the verge of becoming the best selling video game console in the history of the industry, I’d say it is very real indeed.
Metroid Prime is my favourite game of all time and even to this day it still holds up for me. Probably one of my most played games of all time is Prime 1 and 2. The environment, gameplay, lore and especially the soundtrack is amazing. Metroid Prime is one of those games where i generally have no complaints about the game aside from how backtracking can be tedious at times. And as one of the comments said. The Artifacts can be scanned and hinted at in the artifact temple. They give you hints on the room name and it's up to you to look around the map screen to connect dots. Although the remaster does see new and improved animations, for example the Wave troopers bursting from the ceiling has a completely different animation compared to the original but it looks a lot more life like then the original
I adored Metroid Prime when I played it for the first time after downloading the Trilogy version on my Wii U years back, and after finishing my 100% Normal mode run (and starting my 100% Hard mode run) of the Remaster, I can safely say I still adore this game.
I know it's not specific to this video, but I truly appreciate when UA-camrs time stamp their ads in their videos. It makes it way easier to skip past them and watch the actual content.
I remember the first time I played Metroid Prime on the first generation DS, yes the big silver clam. I never figured out how to get past the first area but I kept replaying it anyway.
I had just gotten the gravity suit and gotten into the phazon mines, and I had to delete my entire save and start over. I missed the scan for the stupid aqua drone in the wrecked ship. Just got back to the parasite queen.
Metroid Prime is tied for my favorite game of all time. Your desire for new Half-likes? That's my desire for more games like this. But it's not something anyone wants to make

Layers of Fear 2023 - remake I'm noticing a worrying trend
Hey, I have to ask you something, you see I have a windows 11 laptop and I downloaded this game of my abandoned ware called bad day la, and I can't seem to get it to run, do you think you could help me?
Yeah I’ve no idea how I found all the artifacts either when I was what like 9-10 when it came out? I know I beat the game lmao but nowadays I had to UA-cam how to find them
Sure there was a couple wonky cut scene errors in the original but it’s crazy thinking back to a time when games used to be shipped DONE. Not tinkering after the fact. You had to solve issues before you put them in the mail… Why can’t they still do this?
Nintendo is like the Florida Man of the gaming industry. I just can’t describe it other than that they are simply the Florida Man of game companies. Also, yes I know Nintendo is not from America, and that it’s from Japan. I’m just saying they live in a reality that can only be compared to the Florida Man dimension
For regular metroids, yes, for fusion metroids, no. That doesn't work on them, you have to use the blaster corresponding with their color which then makes them multiply AND they respawn indefinitely so that doesn't apply.
Retro made Prime Nintendo commissioned them for the project. People give “Nintendo” way too much credit when a lot of the time their teams aren’t making these games
And Retro had a lot of problems at first and Nintendo had to help restructure/fix them. I think they removed the CEO who was hosting porn on Nintendo servers or something like that. Dude was a clown. Though I will agree Retro Studios does great work.
I think we’re just spoiled by modern gaming but Prime 1 may benefit from a fast travel but it doesn’t reaaaally need one. It’s a pretty confined all things considered. But oh boi. Wait till you play prime 2 and 3, those are certainly backtracking supreme. I still love those games but they are significantly bigger games than Prime 1 and backtracking is everywhere. Those fission metroids got added to other areas in the game in later revisions as you only saw them in final area in the original GC release.
6:05 Ironically, as a kid I was OBSESSED with reading all the stuff in games and absorbing all the game world. Back then before online wikis being so prevalent and feeling like the videogame world was something unique to discover and become immersed in, I could not get enough of in-game fluff and lore, I'd read the manuals and everything. Nowadays as an adult, I'll skip every flavor text, I'll skip cutscenes if I can too. I only want to play the game now.
Please don’t compare Prime Remastered to the terrible Halo CE Anniversary remaster. That remaster, while technically very impressive, is disrespectful to the source material at almost every turn. The art design is complete different. The sound effects were all swapped for things that sound so different from the original that it’s jarring. Swapping to the old graphics is cool, but the awful sound effects remain. It’s just meh. Prime Remastered seems so much more faithful by comparison.
@@Jarekthegamingdragon lol, I remember rewinding the video several times to find it in the intro. It’s so early I missed it every time. I was so confused. Makes much more sense now.
There is 5 seconds of halo in this entire video and it wasn't a comparison. It was a statement on controls at the time this game released. I could have used footage from literally any other shooter. Stop complaining.

Can you do review for hidden gen called TEKNO THE BASE (2007)? It's a free game made by one person.
Man, Dead Space remake, Metroid Prime Remastered, Silent Hill 2 remake and REmake 4. It's going to be a good year for these games.
Also System Shock (2023) in March.

Thank you, I was forgetting one.
Max Payne 1&2 Remake by Remedy
There's also a new Alone in the Dark game coming (though it's more of a reboot/reimagining of the first game).
Silent Hill 2 is the one I'm worried about. We don't know much about it and Bloober team... I don't think they're quite up to the task.

also there isn't as much backtracking when you already know the order of things; usually you return to odld areas via new routes
