I'm still utterly bewildered at how some people think this looks bad
The game overall looks great, animations are absolutely top-notch, but the low-res textures are killing the entire presentation.

Which part?You can see the quality drop
I have a title for the OT, but I'm not sure yet if I can do it.Who's gonna create the Metroid Dread |OT|
Only asking because there was no Skyward Sword |OT|
Someone said it was kinda sad that SS didn't have an |OT| but personally I found that kind of amusing if not completely hilarious whenever it crossed my mind lol
No worries, was only curious because I've seen some pretty hardcore Metroid fans out there on the webI have a title for the OT, but I'm not sure yet if I can do it.
Is this a third person shooter or a third person adventure?
(oldies will understand the bait)
We're down to a second person shooter or second person adventure now, lolIs this a third person shooter or a third person adventure?

It’s buoyed by the Switch OLED’s improved screen, which goes a long way toward bringing Metroid Dread’s otherwise spare environments to life. Due to launch the same day as the Switch OLED, Metroid Dread is being treated as a showcase game for Nintendo’s new console. And honestly? It looks great. The Switch OLED’s more vibrant colors really help it to pop out of the screen.
Its map is once again massive, filled with a multitude of alien-infested nooks and crannies to explore. Adding to its sense of scope is the way that Samus takes up much less screen real estate this time around, making the caverns and hallways feel vast by comparison. I got turned around more than once in my hands-on with Metroid Dread, slightly flustered by the lack of a Morph Ball (Samus, as always, is bereft of her powers to start the game). Notably, the map seems more complex than before, making it much harder to “simply go to the spot you haven’t explored yet.” Traversal definitely requires some thought in this game, which I appreciate.
While Metroid Dread doesn’t exactly sport AAA production values
When IGN starts dropping truth bombs in a preview there's a red flag for you.As you might expect, it’s a clear step up from the 3DS visually, its color palette allowing it to shine despite its otherwise simple presentation.

I’m also hopeful that Metroid Dread won’t suffer from quite the same bloat as Samus Returns, which somewhat overstayed its welcome in dramatically expanding its Metroid count and the scope of the map.
"Successfully timing out counter hits is a BIG PART OF SURVIVING ENCOUNTERS with larger foes"
Shoehorned stealth, everything here reads like a developer that didn't deserve to touch such an important part of the Metroid series.Feeding into this approach are the E.M.M.I. rooms dot the map, serving as bottlenecks where Samus is hunted by droids that desire only to harvest her DNA. These rooms are actually my least favorite part of Metroid Dread

If we didn't have Hollow Knight and the Ori games, that show us an incredible Metroid style game with beautiful graphics and amazing art style this would be OK, but that's not the gaming world we live in. People SHOULD EXPECT AAA PRODCUTION VALUES from a FULL RETAIL PRICED Nintendo game. The aforementioned games weren't even FULL RETAIL PRICED and had incredible style.
Everything myself and others were saying about the shitty art style is all true.
Again IGN is the most generous especially towards Nintendo, when even they feel the need to be honest about a games lack of visual quality, it's really something awful.
YIKES! Such dumb design choices that don't make any sense.
They want it to be a short game...

Talks about how you NEED to use the fucking awful parry melee move in the game, which was the worst part of the 3DS game, because the timing window sucked. They omitted this line from their text preview. Another red flag.

This is all reading like a 7/10, the fact that IGN is being honest in a preview should open a few eyes.
The reason I've been so critical about this title is that it fully pisses me off. I bought a Switch FOR METROID PRIME 4, I want a new Metroid experience that's GOOD. Nintendo has seemingly delivered a less than stellar Metroid game from some D-tier studio. I want to play Nintendo games, I really do, but fuck Nintendo is making it so god damned hard for me to justify the $80 CND on so many of their titles. My Switch is gathering dust, if it wasn't for my g/fs love of Pokemon and Animal Crossing the thing would be covered in serious dust, or sitting in a carrying case completely forgotten.
When you search "Metroid Dread preview" on google, you can see that Nintendo has google buried the previews by having their Youtube videos of the snippets pushing real previews off the first page. If you're not aware, companies can and do pay for this google manipulation.

first you ramble about how this look like a uprezed 3DS game. you got proven wrong.A padded Nintendo 90 won't fix the awful art style that indie Metroid games have surpassed years ago.
Eating words? Sounds like a good diet though.
Cant stand the developer. Wish Retro Studios made it.tell where Metroid Dread hurt you
It’s cherry picked because the actual review counteracts all the “issues”. He omits the sentences that follow. I would love to know what drives someone to be so negative towards an unreleased game to the point they reassemble a preview to their bias.first you ramble about how this look like a uprezed 3DS game. you got proven wrong.
now it's the art style that is the problem, something incredibly subjective to begin with.
and finally I should listen to fucking IGN out of all odds, or better said your cherry picked quotes from IGN.

There are.. No Metroid in this Metroid game?
Nintendo bad, Nintendo bad, IGN writes their true criticism in riddles in order to make bad Nintendo happy, the game is no "true" AAA experience so it will be bad bla bla blaThe non-bolded part is the actual previewers view, the other part is bullshit that they have to say to keep nintendo happy, you won't get previews in the future if you go too strong.
If you don't understand industry spin by now then...
I can't believe you don't see the issue in paying full price from a company that typically has AAA quality and this product lacks that.
This game isn't within Nintendo's typical product quality. I don't know what the hell is happening at Nintendo, but they need to change.

They do reek of post 2006 gamefaqs flamebait posts so it really isn't surprising.Imagine coming to a thread about a game you don't care about, so you can try to convince some internet strangers to not buy it based on some IGN (of all places) shitty preview. Holy shit.
No way in hell it will be better, it will be damn good though.I just played and beat my first Metroid game (Super Metroid) last week in preparation for this game. It was truly amazing and I regret not having experienced it back in the day. I've played almost all the classic franchises in my time, but missed out on Metroid entirely (including the Prime series). I knew the moment the title screen hit that Super Metroid was special, and I played until like 3 am before I even realized what time it was.
I'm praying that this game will be as good or better than Super Metroid.

What blew me away was how well it still holds up. When I go back to visit classic titles I usually adjust my expectations due to age.....but outside of a few minor complaints the game is timeless.No way in hell it will be better, it will be damn good though.
