When is the review thread happening?
Do they say anything about TEH graphics? Do they explain how they came up with a 10 (aka perfect) despite "mediocre" graphics?
So... 4K60/HDR/DF seal of approval is mandatory, for a 10 score? Lololol, c'mon guys, you can do better. Don't let the salt invade your brain.Do they say anything about TEH graphics? Do they explain how they came up with a 10 (aka perfect) despite "mediocre" graphics?

Today I learned that there were no masterpieces in gaming last gen or before.

Now that would be something.
From a game design standpoint, Botw is such a monumental advancement compared to ww, tp, and ss that Metroid achieving something on that level would be spectacular.
The issues with Metroid are not as severe as with Zelda though. Metroid has mostly stuck to the very successful Super Metroid formula. The slight deviations from it being Prime 3, Fusion, and other M. All of them feel inferior in overall design, with more linear, segmented play.
Mario went from pure platforming to adding exploration in 2d to sandbox in 3d to more pure platforming in 3d. Oddessy seems to be a return to the 3d sandbox, so I'm curious how they've modernized it.
Botws design is more obvious. It's a modern take of the original ideas of non linearity, challenge, adventoruous exploration. 3d Zeldas had devolved into overly linear, tutorial heavy, awful messed focusing only on sequential puzzle solving. The Botw innovations are its interconnected gameplay systems and complete open traversal that lead to open, emergent gameplay.
So... Where can metroid really go? I think it has to be somewhere pretty different. Taking inspiration from horror and games like dark souls I think is a great starting point. Really push the isolationn, immersion, claustrophobia of diving deep underground hunting dangerous alien life forms. Along the way you discover havens of old chozo ruins and tech that empower you. Dunno.
Botw was almost exactly what I wanted zelda to be from a big picture game design standpoint. However I don't know what I want metroid to be... unlike zelda, the prototypical formula has already been nicely done in 3d.
Anyone in the UK surprised they could buy the digital version of the game from Amazon for something like £42, same cost as physical? I fully expected this game to be £50 or maybe even £55!

Gameplay and presentation wise? Yes. Story, character and pacing wise? Hell no.
Since it has the tightest platforming design of all console Marios one could argue that's too low.

One could also state it's too high.
Technically it's a follow up to Mario 64/Sunshine, in Nintendo's eyes. If anything, 3D Land and World were the sucessors to the Galaxy duology. As told by The Chart.
do this mean it is not in the Rosalina timeline? BOOOOOOOO BoOOOOOO!
Awesome news it was a guaranteed buy anyway. I haven't followed the news too much about the game since I want to go kinda blind but have we seen any ghost houses or penguins in Odyssey? These were always my favourite parts of older mario games.

Just what is it about Nintendo games reviewing well that drives some people crazy?
By all modern standards it clearly doesn't still have the top of the line, realistic feel that it did in 1996.
Not this week and not next week.

Those are nice covers. Does Edge do print? I've been looking to subscribe to a print magazine, just to have a surprise in my mail to look forward to.
Reminded me of this:

... Odyssey is the reinvention of the sandbox platformer we've been waiting for since 2002 ...
Odyssey already feels like the spiritual successor to Mario 64 we never quite got ...
There is, as we've already noted, a lot of Breath of the Wild in Super Mario Odyssey ...
