Just watched a minute or two of the trailer...I had little interest in this and I love Metroid but, fuck that was sick. I'm a believer now. Looks good!

How was the 3DS game? I never played it but it looks well received.
This overview trailer sold me a lot more than the reveal trailer, although generally I'm not a fan of games that have chase sequences so I hope that's a lot more limited than the term "Dread" implies

What time is it?
Yeah. It's why it is hard to get excited about Dread. I'll still be there day one because I'm a sucker...

Don't do it. I can feel the instant regret that will follow. Enjoy the blackout and the full experience ahead.

I got the 77" LG G1 Evo model, so I'm set to throw anything at it.

I'm quite looking forward to the coolest looking 2D Metroid ever. It will go great with my steak. Can somebody pass the salt?

He's been in the other dread threads shitting them up with the normal "ZOMG 3ds mobile looking game!" Rhetoric. I'd just ignore at this point.You literally did ask though

Already preordered, but this trailer makes me more enthusiastic. Still would prefer a little more Primey stylishness, but the end kind of had lore stuff which is nice

Nah it's definitely a 240p 2ds game that's been upscaled into a budget mobile game, or so some idiots would have you believe.Still don't get the complaints about the visuals, I think Dread is easily the best looking Metroid game and I've played almost all of them.
Can't believe this game is less than one month away

I'm probably going to play through Metroid Fusion before Dread comes out which had me thinking Nintendo is leaving a lot of money on the table by not having Fusion available at least as a stand alone downloadable title. It seems like a no brainer. For people like me it's not an issue, but I'm sure there's tons of people that would be interested in playing Fusion before Dread drops next month

Not the biggest fan of the slight cell -shaded aesthetic this has (which almost every Nintendo game seems to have nowadays), but the environments look nice and everything else got me

I uh....what?
Correct me if I'm wrong but there is nothing even remotely cell shaded in this game.
Honestly my only worry is the music. We've heard solid stuff so far but I can think of two tracks so far that sound concerningly midi.
It should sound good though since even Samis Returns (a 3DS game) sounded excellent.

Define what has more soul about Super Metroid's 16 bits over Dread without having played it.

I’ve only watched the first trailer as to not spoil myself but it seems like it’s too much robots and steel and not enough creatures and natural environments like Super Metroid. I hope I’m wrong when I get to play through it.

Considering Nintendo's released at least 3 or more trailers for this game now, I have a good idea of what to expect - especially having played Mercurystream's abysmal Castlevania and mediocre reboot of Metroid 2.

I've watched all of the trailers and there are vastly more creatures than robots so you're in luck.

I don't like the graphics either. It really bothers me.
Everything in this 2.5D style looks... clean and plastic. I don't get the Metroid feeling at all from the textures and designs here. I'd much prefer that they either go full 3D (Prime) or go full 2D (modernized sprites or even hand-drawn, I don't care, as long as it isn't some skeletal-animation flash shit like Rayman).

I can still recall in the pre-release times of the original Metroid Prime how much hate it was getting because the Visuals did not look good in screenshots. Only in motion (because of 60fps) did its finer qualities stand out. Will certainly be expecting more of the same, and I'm almost certain there'll be "This looks no better than Metroid Prime 1/2/3!" comments.

I'm not a huge fan of metroidvania games and I don't particularly impressed by the visual side of it. But the gameplay looks pretty cool, willing to give it a chance.

It's more of an instadeath-esque enemy. Taking the SA-X enemy-model to the next level.

Pretty much. I think it'll be on par with the Alien Drone from Alien Isolation. I'm sure they won't be as tense as that though since I'm sure as the game progresses you'll be able to combat it.

They seem to have weak points tied to various abilities in the game. I wouldn't be surprised if they have a different EMMI for each environment in the game that makes initial exploration of new areas harrowing until you unlock the ability required to evade.

Call it art direction or just fantastic developers, but this is one of the prettiest games on the Switch I've seen, and games this year period.It does look like a Gameboy game to me, I agree.
Stunning.
