The immersion to me is in being on an alien world with the few survivors of whatever event happened at the research base. At least he's not saying button names like some games.
I was honestly expecting there to be NPCs the whole time, since Prime 3 had a number of them.

At least this time, Samus actually acts like herself and not subservient to the annoying npc.
What we've seen, I'm guessing the guy is, hopefully, only gonna be there in the tutorial, and that the other npcs are not as bad.

yea, he's nowhere near as bad as the horrid Other M writing. Like, that game felt like they didn't even understand who Samus is as a character, this at least feels like the writers understand her.

I feel like he is SUPPOSED to be an "annoying" character. Seems like he might just be there for the tutorial zone, which... honestly, at least it's not the PED Suit chair again.

gonna be honest... having watched the full video of the gameplay... he doesn't bother me that much. I would rather have this than another "Other M" level of bs if we're gonna have npcs. Samus actually acted like herself when interacting with this guy, and is her proper tall self.

True, but I'm just saying that Retro might be able to pull off a good atmosphere even with the NPCs. maybe not on the level of Annihilation, but still something good. Especially since we went from a whole base full of Troopers, down to what the trailers showed of like, about 5 people so far.

That was the feeling I got too, it's clearly a tutorial zone, and honestly kinda less egregious than Prime 3's "you can't leave the chair until you complete our PED Suit tutorial"

also, I liked the characterization they had with Samus giving him the translation data, just no nonsense, silent communication of "hand over the datachip" transfer the data, and hands it back to him.

I've played every Metroid game, and honestly... he seems like a smaller issue than the potentially oversized and empty desert that feels out of place.
The desert feels like it was put here specifically to justify the bike.

but it's not "Nintendo" it's Retro pulling it off, and they did pretty good with the past Metroid Prime games, even 3 has good atmosphere.

my old favorite was the Wing Star, though I am curious about the Transform Star in the new game.

seriously. I saw a video where someone didn't even recognize Rex Wheelie and claimed they played the old one all the time.
for EVERY returning star and wheelie during the directs, I was like "welcome back" or "welcome home" because it is so good to see them again.

Nah, this is just where you find homegrown furries.

Also, the way Samus is interacting with him feels perfectly in-line with her character, unlike a certain other game.
In the long run, I kinda just don't see the problem with this. Feels on par with what we had in Prime 3, just with less hardware limitations.

Honestly... the federation troopers don't worry me as much in this one because of what we see here. Seems like we take him to a specific location, and he kinda bunkers down there.
Even after the overview trailer, I think the Desert feels the most out of place. It just seems too big and empty.

Here's my most recent Wireframe work on Sparrow, a non-binary protag for my game. They still have the Mirror modifier on them until I can get them UV Unwrapped as most of their model would be able to have symmetrical texturing.

This week for #XenithAwakening I got Sparrow's casual outfit legs modeled up, including some nice Legwarmers, and thinking about adding a 3d element to the top of their shorts.

I had/have a ponysona, though the one I have now is not the one I had then. He's kinda immortalized in my own Fallout Equestria side story, meanwhile my current one I'd probably write her as my old Ponysona's daughter in said story.

I have a literal forest on my island, as well as an apple orchard, and a couple other themed areas. Like a sorta village area with an outdoor theater behind the Museum, a Witchy Area with the Able Sisters, and a playground near Hopkins.
