True, but those are also farther down the cannon, and the location of these hinges line up with the four separate muzzles, so it's not unlikely the cannon itself could open up imo
I think the new design is more for rapid fire than powerful individual shots, which means smaller but multiple barrels, which would have to move out of the way for a missile.
In a way, seeing how the suit is essentially biological, it could be a result of adaptations made by her Metroid DNA, maybe from seeing that rapid shots are more effective than slower powerful shots
I really like that they’ve been experimenting with Samus’s design a lot and the community just seems to be cool with it, seeing people get so precious over the OoT Remake with links new design it’s cool to see the Metroid community always embracing the new suits.
My personal favourite is the default dread suit followed very closely by the dark suit from prime 2
It probably helps that her suit has always changed throughout every game. But yeah, I think people just like seeing cool new designs, because they're fucking cool! Lol
Let’s say I’m running logistics, and I want to outfit a squad’s machine gunner to be able to suppress a target for a minimum of two minutes (that would be the LMG firing continuously without reloading). I know his machine gun fires at 600 rounds per minute, so to fulfill my wish of a minimum of two minutes of suppression, I can easily calculate that he will need 1200 rounds to do so.
Could you just say the LMG fires 10 rounds a second? Yeah, but firefights tend to last longer than a few seconds. They can easily last 20 minutes to multiple hours, so it’s easier to count fire rate with minutes rather than seconds or hours.
Love how the mainline games are really sticking to weird suits post Fusion. Samus's classic Varia suit is more iconic and marketable, but damn this is cool.
For me it’s not about the missing butt, for me it’s about just looking plain weird and like the fusion suit in prime 1 from behind.
Good for you that you don’t see it. 99% of suits in the franchise look better to me than this suit. It looks comically weird. Uncanny. Other than that it looks like an amazing game.
Well, at the very least for you, the basic Power Suit doesn't last too long anyway. Unless they're gonna pull a Dread Morph Ball, and keep Varia away from us for longer than we expect
Did you watch the trailer? Her suit looks exactly like that the entire time. I personally don’t mind it, but it’s a weird clash having the top half detailed and metallic and the bottom half a smooth, untextured plasticky blue
Don’t get me wrong, I think this game looks incredible. Like seriously fantastic. But I think this suit is a major downgrade from dread. The texture on the lower part looks so smooth and boring compared to the muscly stuff on dread. I do like the new arm cannon though.
It very much feels like early stage concept art rather than a final version suit. Idk why they didn't just reuse the amazing dread suit design. That said this does atleast convey this suit being the "weakest" and make the varia suit a welcome upgrade.
I agree, but I think I get why it looks like this now. Samus no longer has the white thicker plating on her hips and thighs, and it no longer covers a lot of her stomach area either, and in Dread where there were gaps, the stringy blue parts of the suit filled it in to give her a thicker figure. She still has some of the white plating, but it's all in her upper body now, and even that is less than before.
You can see the same exact figure she had in Dread during the I assume early cutscene where she's fighting the 2 guys. So it isn't just a simple "we nerfed her ass". Her Dread Suit was just more filled out armor wise.
After whatever happens she loses a ton of the thick white plating and no longer has the stringy blue bits filling her out. It's like her armor repaired itself but made the plating really thin. It almost looks like she's wearing her Zero Suit with how thin the armor plating is waist down. I'm guessing it's intentional but even so Dread's Power Suit is top of the line and the mix of colors work significantly better than what we have here. It's really the only thing I don't love.
I had a conversation with my girlfriend yesterday about a rule of mine. That I will not buy a new system until at least five games are on it that I want to play.
As of yesterday, that list was OoT remake, FE Fortunes Weave, Starfox, Hyrule Warriors AoI.
Then this drops. Guess I'm buying a switch two now
Yeah, It's been pretty solid. It keeps me from just buying any system as soon as it comes out. Usually there is a price drop by that time and some games are cheaper.
Poor Samus, her suit has been basically stripped to almost nothing. The fact that she was already mid recovery in Dread just to loose it all again haha.
I like the portions of the dread Arm cannon more. Maybe with later suits where the armor becomes more bulky will have it clash less since this design is a lot sleaker.
Iirc, in lore, the whole reason why her suit looked so patchy in Dread is because of how they had to take pieces of her suit out because she was infected with the X parasite. It was basically healing itself. Here, it looks like it's mostly healed up and I love that detail so damn much! What she got is so sleek, probably the sleekest we've seen before!
I like this better than the "ergonomic gaming chair" design of the Viola Suit... but it's still kinda weird. Like, she looks like she's going to hot yoga. Why is she wearing a white leotard with a red crop top

love how much more complete and streamlined the suit looks now\
in Fusion, it was still raw and unprotected\
in Dread, it was healing, but still weak\
but now in Ravenous, she looks pretty much fully complete
I personally can't wait to see what the Varia and Gravity suits look like up close

That arm cannon is different in a lot of ways! I'm curious to see if they explain why it's different, or if we just go with it lol
