The animations on this game are unreal I don't think I've ever played a 2D game that feels so smooth, I mean I think most 3D games don't even put this much thought into animating all the tiny possibilities. Far too many games look like their characters are just gliding over the floor or uphill while a running animation is playing.
hi, pixel :3
EDIT: i mean, quote
Definitely, it was clearly very important to the developers.
Ori, and the original Rayman had some incredible animations as well
Huh, I thought you would be rooting for Cave Story, Quote.
its not a 2D game. Its fully 3D, but the camera is just fixed. Its probably why it looks amazing.
I think the creature in the tank in Dairon more closely resembles the wasp hive boss fight from Other M. There are a few references from that game in Dread, the biggest being the return of the diffusion beam.
The hyper beam being able to destroy free floating X seems to be the answer as to how Raven Beak was able to overcome ZDR being infested and his entire army possessed by them. Through battle he demonstrated to them he can erase them entirely asserting his dominance over them. We see he is also sporting the lightning armor aeion ability we had in Samus returns, however the coloring can vary depending on what level of shielding it is providing. I think this is also how he managed to retake control of his army after they were consumed by X, he must have a version or coloring that either repels X or destroys them completely if they touch him in this state. He is only able to be possessed at the end of Dread because Samus drained his suit stripping him of all his power. A rather fitting end for his character.
Speaking of raven beak having Aeion abilities, he also has the beam burst ability, which makes sense as he was the last Chozo, and presumably the last non-X creature alive on SR388
@@BenSchappacher Thankfully he didn't have phase shift, or at least refrained from using it.
@@NeoHedge1 He does have an ability similar to Phase Drift though, in the Flash Shift. There is speculation that the 'Phase' variant is more 'what you see' and the 'Flash' is 'what others see'
Raven Beak might just have a warriors honor code in which he won't take cheap advantage over a target to attack them while they'd be unable to counter at their full strength (But this might just as well Not be true, the dude blasts defenceless Thoha scientists and potentially at the end of the fight with Samus 'fakes being worn out' to trick Samus into charging in full force (he might have been genuinely tired though and the counter was on survival instinct rather than a plan) ( Although Raven Beak does seem to like his plans and who knows Where he draws the line between 'honor code' and 'victory at any cost'))
@@emmareiman64 Maybe his lightning armor variations took up the slots for other aeion abilities, or they were separate abilities themselves. We don't truly know all of his abilities, only the ones he uses against Samus during their battle.
Flash shift and phase drift have to be two separate abilities, but I can understand why people are making that correlation based off of speed and time. We can clearly see how Samus moves with both abilities, so I don't think that connection is accurate. Flash shift is restricted to horizontal movements where as phase drift is only limited by the aeion meter and Samus can move in all directions using it. Phase drift was mearly their answer for the speed boost on a limited system.
@@NeoHedge1 Raven Beak’s flash shift let’s him move in a triangle pattern though, he moves up and down at angles with it, as well as straight forward
Honestly, it's really cool how the emmis' fast and slow timings attack Samus in different ways, slow timing pins her to the ground, fast timing grabs her.
The entire thing with two different animations is epic anyway, they could've just gone with two different delays picked randomly but they took the extra steps and made it look cooler.
They had a time to scan who it was, so they could be sure that it was her instead of their bosses or some random employee that don't have her DNA.
This isn't specific to any speed of EMMI. Once you remove the faceplate, they all instantly slam samus onto the ground, but grab her when the faceplate is still present.
@@metroid031993 Excuse me... the video showed an EMMI with an intact faceplate doing the two animations, one with each speed
The Hyper Beam obliterating X parasites might explain how Raven Beak was able to contain them in the first place.
True!
well don't forget she's also part metroid now, and she's in the Metroid Suit
Metroids are the natural predators of X parasites, so of course the hyper beam would be powerful enough to eradicate X parasites now that she's in a fully metroid suit
It must have been such a pain for Raven Beak to contain the X. Seeing how quickly he was swarmed by a parasite as soon as his airship crashed, I wouldn't be suprised if he alone was anxious of how carelessly he could succumb to an X parasite while sealing Elun
The arm cannon glowing after you fire is different depending on which beam you have
:mindblown:
I suspect Samus fried the Ravenbeak X out of anger. She didn't want anymore of him near her.
I seriously love that she did that
I noticed when in the metroid suit, you can walk into enemies killing them instantly. I accidentally came across it lol
Yeah, she absorbs the X inmediately. And if you shoot them with the hyper beam, they will be totaly destroyed, with the X included
Didn't know that :0
Same
This is a neat detail and makes absolute sense, since mere Metroid cells are lethal to X
Gained ability - Lethal Embrace
I like that the creatures avoid the parasites like "Nope not after what happened to Jerry 4"
Another detail that I don’t believe you have covered. During the elevator loading sequences, the lights move across Samus in the appropriate direction, and in the train sequences, she is always diving forward. They didn’t just make one loading screen, they made different ones for the direction she is moving.
2 fun facts: everyone knows that Dread doesn't have single wall jump, However The blue Spider Magnet can allow you to single Wall jump. And The Metroid Suit arm Cannon's Teeth actually have an animation where they move outwards to use Missiles. This can only work with Cheats
What can only be done with ceats ?
@@theblob7470 using missiles with the metroid suit
Its not that its a special animation but rather because all suits use the same model ‘rig’ for animations making the same parts move the same no matter the suit
spider walls in dread are basically reskinned ladders from fusion so when i got magnet i immediately tried one wall jumping like on ladders in fusion. pretty cool stuff.
Now I really wanna see this
The developers didn't have to go this hard into these details, but god bless them for doing so.
You think I was playing this game and NOT comparing every little thing to Fusion? Of course I would notice that the tiny X's have the same sprite as the Fusion sprite that Adam shows you. Of course I noticed that the power bombs worked the same. Fusion was my childhood and this game did it so much justice!
I'm keeping it very on the down low until I have a more developed pre-alpha but I'm currently developing a metroidvania and it's kind of nuts all the tiny details that organically develop like this during the creative process. This series of videos you've made has really put a smile on my face because I can completely see my own creative process in a lot of Dread's developer's decisions. A lot of "Hey, I have an enemy that kind of does that" or "Hey, I actually am working on a system where docile creatures are disturbed by nearby sounds too" and most of the time they're details I love putting in because I feel like they add a lot of believability to my worlds and that's a hugely important thing for me as a developer, but most of which I expect to go unnoticed. Videos like this make me happy to know the work that goes into stuff like this really is appreciated by players.
Best of luck on your metroidvania bro, the world needs more of em I’m getting bored of replaying hollow knight 20 times
It's so fun seeing such passion put into all the small details, and having a little bit of game design experience myself, it's such a satisfying process adding in those details and seeing your world come to life! The whole creative process is a huge, complex, and often exhausting process, but it's so fun and satisfying seeing it all come together!
I wish you good luck and hope everything goes well with your game!!
Hey good luck with your game! I love all these little details in games, they all add up to make a truly unique experience 😁
These detail videos make me appreciate the game even more honestly.
They deserve it to be honest, this game moved to my top 5 games. and i'm very picky about that. The details being one of the bigger reasons
This game deserved the GOTY
As much as I love Metroid Dread, I really can't be mad that 'It Takes Two' won!
At least it won best action adventure.
Was way too easy
The attention to detail and animations in this game are incredible - I really hope Mercury Steam and Nintendo upgrade and post Samus Returns to Switch.
That would be awesome. Hell I kind of want to see them do remakes in Dread's engine of the other games. Fusion especially would benefit from having an overhaul.
3:20 Under the vat where Draygon is potentially hidden you can find a large empty room with seemingly no purpose. Perhaps it was meant to house a boss fight but was cut before release.
There's Missile Expansion there
It could just be a reference.
Maybe dlc?
Did you notice that all Chozo x-parasites are red, except raven beaks this could be showing that because Raven Beak is more powerful, it takes a better X to take over him, just a theory though
@@Feroce What's Z-57's aspect?
I don't think that's the case, the purple X was the inside of Z57's core X, and cores can be of different colors, including purple.
@@user-jc2lz6jb2e Splitting up face and/or small extra hands
The X that infected Raven Beak was the core X that was experiment z-57. It found Kraid's remains and took control.
About the number 4 (the one about the NES Metroid sprite), in the same scene the X parasite has its GBA Fusion sprite as well.
the amount of polishment is just delightful
3:25, to add on to that, there’s a seemingly useless boss sized room right beneath.
Most intriguing room of the game
Hooray for another Dread video! ❤❤
Maybe you could go over how in the cutscene where Samus counters EMMI-07PB (Hanubia) the animation actually looks a bit different than normal. The camera's movement is different, less cinematic, and I'm not sure if the counter flash appears.
6:30 - Says "power bombs", shows regular bombs. FYI
They have some power, though.
i did not know that there were two counter windows on emmis I always thought the only one was countering them from grabbing you. i like the animation on countering the needle a lot more, did not know you could do that.
The attention to detail in Dread never ceases to amaze me!
I can't believe you're still finding little details like this. Game is absolutely incredible.
Great video, as always. Perhaps you can also add (As seen in the heat from Samus's Arm Cannon) that the reflection of the shots size in the floor grows bigger the closer she shots to it.
Wait... I actually was never aware you have 2 opportunities for a counter and assumed if you whiffed the grab, that was it. I had NO idea you could counter the stab too!
It's incredible how much detail they packed into a Switch game. But after being ignored for so long, Samus deserves no less.
Also, #14, those are normal Bombs, not Power Bombs.
“Autsharps” “Goliath”
Where do you find these names for the enemies
DREAD Report for one.
The Dread reports that released prior to the games. They are like manuals for Dread
The real thing to learn here is that you also have a chance to counter an E.M.M.I. after it grabs you.
I always thought you could only counter it before it grabs you.
You've really collected some excellent, easily-missed details in these vids. I don't think I've ever even thought to use the grapple beam downwards on an already clinged-to magnetic wall, but sure enough they made an animation specifically for that interaction and it looks sick.
Also I remember being so happy to see the X parasites get sucked in with power bombs like in Fusion as shown here. Really happy that this game got to be made by a team that really knew their stuff.
I just realized there are two chances to counter an EMMI. You can counter the grab or the fatal blow.
Just received the game can’t wait to try it :) ! The attention to details looks awesome
The X that killed Raven Beak is also the one that killed Kraid, and probably also killed Corpius (During the Exp Z - 57 boss fight)
I used to think Samus' animations peaked with Other M, but this utterly blows that game out of the water
I never realized how cool the animations were because I was so pissed off dealing with the EMMIs.
I wonder if somebody has gone into the game files for the Draygon-looking silhouette, I bet that could give some answers!
These videos are so well done!
I can finally watch your Metroid Dread content! Since I now own the game and have beaten it once, I don't have to worry about story spoilers :) Love this channel! Thank you for the great content!
Thank you! ^^ Hope you'll enjoy it :)
Metriod Prime 1 is what's in the tank. The first boss you face on the space station. The Parasite Queen
It baffles me to no end how this game didn't get Game of the Year!
Yeah it's become one of my favorite games of all time. It's the first game in a long time that I've wanted to complete 100%
It will get some probably. TGA is not an indicator of what is The Ultimate Game Of The Year.
Also all of them are subjective.
Was much too easy
Another interesting detail: When all of the x parasites were drawn in by the power bombs they flew in the shape of an infinity symbol
Another cool video! A small addition to #4: The X Parasite depiction you can see in the intro video are taken from Metroid Fusion. In the third conversation with the B.S.L. station computer in Fusion, that very same X Parasite depiction is being shown on a small screen!
6:16
Samus: “OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW! OW!” *(Spike damage)*
Goliath: “This is fine.”
It would make sense that a clone of Draygon was in the background of Dairon, because there was a clone of Kraid.
1:13 if I'm correct, the same thing happened in Fusion. Neat touch
Thanks so much for making this.
2:39 okay this detail is actually insane, they really did not have to do that BUT THEY DID
#3 was in Fusion as well. A nice example of continuity from Mercury. Looking forward to their next project.
The animators in this game did an incredible job
These details make the world more real through subtlety. Each developer should have a team just for details. Not gonna happen but man would it be nice. Way to be dedicated to finding as much as you can.
WAIT YOU COULD PARRY THE SECOND PART OF THE EMMI ATTACK?
6:37 I think you meant "bombs", not "power bombs", based on the gameplay in that clip.
Well hope this game sells well enough more 2D Metroid games to be made in the future. I don't want the franchise dedicated to Prime games.
It sold really well during October and got a GOTY nominee. Dread paved the way for more 2D Metroid games for sure.
I think it’s the best selling in the series
@@justinokraski3796 not yet
@@danielmales123 It is now, though not by much. Pretty surprising it only beat Prime 1 by only 60,000 sales.
3:20 in metriod prime there was a large parasite that was changed drastically by phazon.
i think one of the reasearch logs meantioned that it gave the parasite multiple new apendages as well as new features which includes changes to the birthing cannal at the bottom of the creature.
if all the phazon changes were removed from the creature, it might strongly resemble what the creature in the tank looks like
I just completed Dread today and can safely say it's one of the best games I've ever played. It is my introduction to the Metroid series and I'm glad to be here
I can totally relate to Gooplots
Mercury Steam hit it out of the park with this one.
6:35 When the autosharp gets popped into the air, it emits sparks at the bottom as if it's still scraping the ground. It's a shame the developers didn't care about the little details in this game...
(100% joking, love this game and the details are incredible)
3:28 those arms of that creature reminds me of the parasite queen from metroid prime 1
I think that the NES Metroid sprite on the Dread intro is also a little nod to Super Mario Sunshine.
You can grapple hook those ceiling laser creatures to take away their laser beam. They become a standard tentacle monster after.
3 months and i always learn something new about this game.
I love this series
details aside this dude counters EMMIS like a god
#14 says Power Bombs but uses plain old Bombs.
If you shoot, while standing still, Samus will take a step back to stabilize her for the recoil of her arm cannon.
unless she is against a wall, then she steps forward
Number 14. Will they go higher if you use Cross Bombs?
Would be interesting to see, though potentially the answer is no. Depends on if it's able to touch a 2nd bomb in the cross, since if the 1st one shoots it up, logically it shouldn't be going higher than that without hitting others
(It's 5am though, I ain't a science master)
@@emmareiman64 Oh yea, they might not go higher, but slow down or speed up for some time or even go opposite direction because of Cross Bombs horizontal explosion effect. This totally requires many tests because this might have different behaviours depending on how close the object is to the Cross Bomb
(1. Didn't reach the bomb (probably slow down or go to opposite direction?)
2. The center of the bomb (Jump higher?)
3. Passed the bomb (Speed up?))
Very elegant!
The X Parasites getting sucked in by powerbombs is already a detail seen in Metroid Fusion
Nice!
What a game Metroid Dread is! 10/10
#6. There is a big room at the bottom of that area that serves no purpose. I think Dragon was meant to be a boss but was cut out. Also outside of the Speed Booster EMMI, Dairon doesn't have any other bosses.
i've telled Samus' arm cannon when using charged shot, the front barrel glows.
Man, they put a lot of detail in this game.
what a cool way to sell me on the game without telling me much about it
Idk why, but I really like that intro.
Love it
I had no idea you could rapelle down spider strips
More like “Very very Very Cool Details” for the video title 👍👍
Sure nice of Nintendo to add that last detail even though it’s literally impossible to escape an EMMI 😇
I called Raven Beak X "Kraiven Beak". It felt right
I used every floor switch that way when I figured that out.
I fckn love this game dawg.
The sheer amount of detail the programmers put into this game that they didn't really have to... you can tell this game was a labor of love.
Dope
This game is awesome!
I think the Mini metroid in the prologue is the baby metroid from metroid 2
We all miss him.
Wow there a lot in this game
any other fusion vets here immediately try the vaccum thing when they got power bombs?
the saw thing got it by accident while trying to get the E-tank part before meeting Quite Robe* (Silent Mant?) xD
Silent Mant? I know the game doesn't repeat his name (Quiet Robe) particularly often, but how did you get it *that* wrong?
@@44bigfreeze spanish xd
That spike-balls bouncing is hilarious.
the teeth on the suit are not similar to a metroid's fangs...theyre just also fangs
I once managed to get 16 power bombs
I Know!
What happened to the spider ball?
Best game ever
