I just found out that Prime was meant to be third-person, but he fought the studio on making it first-person.

That suit is badass. I have no idea why Nintendo hates it. Is it because they stole it from some anime and are ashamed of their theft? When Samus wears it, she's in first-person. When Samus is in third-person, they put her in the zero suit.

Man, that's frustrating. GoldenEye worked because Bond was just a guy in a tuxedo. It's the personality, not the outfit, that makes the character entertaining. And since that doesn't transfer into a 90s game anyway, you lose nothing in the game going first-person. But with a character like Samus, Batman, Godzilla, etc., anyone who has a unique look that is recognizable in silhouette, I'd never want to play a first-person game starring them. They should always be front and center where the player can see them.

I missed out because Miyamoto wanted the first-person look. I'm grateful to him for all of the IPs, but that is super frustrating. Fuck first-person perspectives. Just fuck 'em.

Gaming is a weird industry where you can scam the consumers with lies and fake promises, and there will still be fanboys defending it.

I mean, first person is okay if you're just some generic character. If you're wandering a haunted mansion or something, it's fine. But I don't get why anyone should hide a character with a unique look behind the camera.

That'd be like if you were watching Jurassic Park, but the dinosaurs were always hidden behind the bushes. "And behind those trees are the special effects that we couldn't afford."

While I would normally agree, the little visual touches that made Metroid Prime so groundbreakingly immersive would've been completely lost in 3rd person.

Agreed. Prime is amazing, particularly in the crazy attention to detail.

I genuinely can't imagine a third person Prime game being anywhere near as good. The first person person perspective gave it character and immersion a third person game just couldn't.

But hey if you want to rob yourself of playing one of the best games of all time, go for it. You'll always have Other M for your third person fix.

Wank to her in form-hiding armor?

If anything, first-person would be more fetishy since I would be in the body of the big tiddied blonde. :/

There are already plenty of third-person Metroid games, though. This was something different. If there was an amazing character design and then you only ever play as them in first-person I could understand the gripe.

The visor shape you look out of really keeps Samus' iconic design in my head as I'm playing, too.

Metroid Prime wouldn't be half-as-good in third-person. Visor scans, the way the environment interacts with your visor, how sometimes you see you own eyes reflected back in the helmet unexpectedly, the way it feels to move around and how much upgrades add to that feeling of jumping higher or being more powerful. It is such an immersive experience.

And, hey, if you really want to experience third-person, go around as much as you can in Morph Ball.

Metroid Prime being first person worked amazingly well. So, you're really missing out on an incredible gameplay experience that probably wouldn't have worked as well as a third person shooter.
