    I think Metroid Prime 2's game over screen was the scariest. Lime you actually hear Samus' heart monitor go into overdrive before flatlining and it all goes static.

  • @magic00squirrel
    @magic00squirrel 3 роки тому +450

    Metroid Dread has my favorite death sequence. Like others have pointed out, the lights and effects really add to it, but I think the reason it’s so successful is actually Samus’s pose, particularly her arms. In other death animations, her arms sort of angle to the back, which in my opinion looks a little awkward. In Dread, her arms shoot more outwards, which really sells the feeling of force.

    The return of Samus:

    Super Metroid: It's just me... or do they bounce?
    Prime: Imagine if someone really tought their TV turned off during a critical moment in the game
    Prime morphball: never knew about this one, it's a really cool detail
    Fusion:Samus states in the intro of the game that due to the X they could not remove the suit from her alive, this make this one the best one as a game-over screen IMO
    Zero mission:I just noticed her hair tie also desintegrates
    Prime 2: Another really good one, I love the way it just abruptly cuts to "Continue from last save?"
    Pinball: . . . Poetic
    Prime hunters: "Let's do like Primes'es game-over screen but w/o the cool parts"
    Prime hunters morphball: That's the default explotion effect
    Prime 3: Metroid: The only Nintendo franchise allowed to have corpses and blood
    Corruption: This one is also great, the cool animation and a simple but effective game over
    Other M: Can't unheard the "Snake? SNAAAAAAAKE!!!"
    Federation forces: I forgot this existed
    Samus returns: Now we'll never know what Metroid 2 death animation was
    DREAD: This one is the best visually, all the flashing lights and effects do a great job making it really impactful
