I think the change is of the same magnitude, I don't remember scanning that much in the old metroid at all, the focus on story is much more present with much more details backstory and set pieces, the way to approaches spaces is completely different, fighting is much more gated.

I Really don't see how re4 is different, it's like a continuation of re1-3, 1 was small scale tight corridor horror, 2 was increase in scope with more set piece, 3 introduce a more action bent on top of set pieces, 4 is set pieces with more action bent, still horror, the fighting is still base on the dread of approaching zombie given limited control (unless you are playing the wii game). It's incremental.

You have me curious bout how much different it is seriously!

resident evil 1 is basically zelda with zombies and awkward controls. re4 is a tense linear action shooter about positioning with a few token "puzzles" thrown in. it feels almost like an arcade game. totally different mechanical focus and tone.

the real tragedy is that the actual metroid torch was picked up by konami who kept cloning the same game without improvements for 10 years while mostly ignoring what made the original castlevanias good

The real tragedy is that no metroid like or metroidvanias has surpassed the level design of Super metroid yet.

Metroid 2 remake fangame

:D Even tough the fangame added some extra areas this game is still remake of metroid 2 map. Metroid map 2 is very linear. You beat the metroid laval goes down.. You go to next area.

True, and with that, most people managed to understand and beat the game.

this game lol

It would have been received 2000% better if it hadn't been revealed through that "Blast Ball" rocket league wannabe minigame.
