A third person Ratchet and clank sort of approach for the next Metroid game?

I really like the feel of the 3D metroid games and how they did some cool interactive stuff with the visor, but if they take it into third person it could lend itself to some better platforming. I think the MP series does the first person platfroming really well but looking at the new Bionic commando I think that if they went for a third person with over the shoulder aiming system it could change the way it plays.

For instance they could implement quicktime events.

Yeah, that's possible.

But the platforming seems to work ok with the first person already so I'm not sure if they'd want to change it

I think the platforming is great in first person but all theyve perfected is grappling and jumping.

If it was in third person maybe they could do like more screww jumping stuff, the morph ball would be exactly the same and they could do some awesome dodging and rolling animations and itd be awesome to be like fighting neo Kraid or something, and he shoots a spike and you like dodge to the side. I remember those cutscenes in MP when a boss appears, it shoots something and samus dodges to the side and it switches to first person.

They could do like more kind of rebounding, hanging on to ledges stuff.

Retro Studios is not currently developing nor has plans for another Metroid Prime title. However, what you guys are describing sounds hella cool. I could get into that if they do it right.

That would be interesting, but I doubt that it will never happen.

I'd much rather see an over-the-shoulder Metroid game, but a platformer could be good.

That would be great, but unlikely

Hmm a game that worked like that would be awesome! It would give the gamer so much more control.

I'd love to stare at her hot ass the whole time.

R&C? No thanks, i rather have a New Super Mario Bros - like side scrolling, with 3D characters and environments.
