Possible relation between Dark energy and Phazon?

2010-04-07 09:58:28 am

Ok, we all know that "the stellar object" was a phazon filled Leviathan. And when it crashed onto aether, the pure phazon energy tore apart the dimensions. and all the phazon is on Dark Aether. It raises a question? Is all dark energy BLACK PHAZON? are the Ing actually PHAZON CREATURES? Was Dark Aether destined to become a Phaaze clone?

Blue Phazon is the first generation, Orange is the second, Is DARK ENERGY the THIRD?

It gets you thinking......

I was sure this was just a game. It sounds like you're analysing things waaay too much. Very Happy

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

It gets me thinking that you've put more thought into this than Retro did. Or, for that matter, anyone else on planet Earth.

It's radioactive sludge that could, if the plot called for it, travel through time and maybe turn water into liquid gold. Get over it.

why are his lips so thick

In Fraroc's defense, he (she? my apologies) didn't take any huge leaps in logic. The Prime games have also made story a heavy focus, putting a good amount of time into stuff like the Chozo lore on Tallon IV. While video games are notoriously bad storytellers--Metroid Fusion kind of rips apart any small amount of subtlety there is in the story of the first three Metroids--as a writer, you don't spend so much time on story just to have random stuff happen (unless you're writing for 24).

I really find no joy in the Prime stories, so I don't have a wonderful grasp on what happens, but what Fraroc is proposing seems like a simplistic and thematically cohesive reading of dark energy.

The logic seems plausible.

It all stems from an assumption of Dark Energy = Black Phazon though.

I wouldn't say that it would be the third level of Phazon, but more of the second.

Orange phazon was able to mutate in a whole environment, 'black phazon' only the negative environment.

On another note though, should Dark Energy be black phazon it leads to the technological progression of the pirates in corruption well.
In Prime it was just random mutation. In Echoes it was mutation from a higher mutative sludge that imbued "elemental" powers. In Corruption it was minimal mutation that imbued "pure" powers.

I was thinking that if Retro decided to continue the Prime series (as a spinoff series) then one of the plot elements should be dealing with the after-effects of Phazon, ie, planets that had odd effects after being hit by the Leviathan, a la Aether.
