They call me Hammy!
You make great points, and very well stated. I agree with you entirely.Krusnik said:Yeah, I really bet it's a rip off.
They are different games, the only thing remotely close is that they kill aliens, and are trying to save the galaxy with the help of some marines. Oh and they both have suits, you can't forget that they both wear some sort of suit.
Metroid is a first person adventure.
Halo is a first person shooter.
Metroid you get power ups like every level. (Upgraded gun, grapple, etc)
Halo you get different weapons throughout every level.
Metroid has puzzles.
Halo doesnt.
Besides what where they gonna copy off of?
They basically really only had the side scrollers of Metroid at the time, something I doubt the Halo developers would've done. Metroid Prime and Halo both started development around 1998/1999.
And I don't think Bungie went over to Retro Studios and secretly looked at what they were doing for the new Metroid game.
They are alike in someways, but very different in many others. It's not a rip off.
Halo would be I guess okay on the Wii. The first one I think would only make the cut. Any after that they'd have to downgrade the graphics. It'll never happen though.
