Quote from Prime Hunter:

Speaking of Dark Samus, I stumbled across this a few days ago while I was looking for info on Corruption:

It's a video demonstration for some drum game on the Wii, but as the demo is going on there is a TV playing some clips of Corruption. About 35 or so seconds in, you can easily see a closeup on someone's visor, and then what I believe to be Dark Samus walking across the screen. She appears to walk just like DS did in Echoes. (Unfortunately, the camera isn't real close to this image to get a good look at DS.) The segment ends with DS blasting off and out the window in the background. (The segment is roughly five seconds long.)

Is it just me, or does this image look very similar to the one that was released as Dark Samus?

Game Informer has a video of that intro.

A must watch. grin new

Uh... yeah: I think that proves which one Dark Samus is. grin new

I LOVE the part where Samus is using the grapple beam on what appears to be a roller coaster type thing: I've always wanted her to do something like that. (Man, they weren't kidding when they said the Grapple Beam was VERY improved, did they?)

I did notice another Ridley cameo: Look about 1/2 way through the clip. Samus appears to be in morphball mode and he's landing ontop of where she is. 8-) (Could Ridley make more than two appearances in this game?)

And is it just me, or are those other two hunters (Rundus appears one of them) very cool looking as well?

can someone transfer that video to youtube or something, because the GI clip only gives me the stupid sound thing. -_-

I don't really like the Phazon woman, but the mech thing that's controlled with the Morph Ball looks awesome. And the Grapple Beam ride. whoa (@c.bags)

Must... play... NOW! laugh new

And we now know how Samus got Corrupted.

Has anybody been able to sucessfully download this movie yet? Whenever I do, I can't play it on anything I have.

On a similar note, I found that there are 3 more gameplay videos:

http://cache.gameinformer.com/downloads/downloads2014/movies/2006/e3/nintendo/metroid-4.mp4

I haven't watched them yet, but the first one looks like it's the very beginning of the E3 demo.

Try changing the file extension of the downloaded file from ".mpeg" to ".mp4".

There we go. grin new

Thank you for the assistance. (Part of my problem was after downloading it, I had to manually tell QuickTime to play that kind of movie clip.)

I watched those other three clips I linked to: They all are part of the demo, since the gameplay continues where the previous clip left off. (Interesting Morphball puzzle in that last clip.)

I thought the Phazon lady was a suitless Dark Samus.

Samus' universe is getting crowded.

It's probably either a boss or a form of Dark Samus, yes. I don't want it to be in the game at all, though, as it looks just like Prime - pleeease tell me they're using more original enemies this time...

That was the Ridley cameo I mentioned: From what I understand, Ridley has landed on a pipe that Samus is traveling through.

The things in the foreground are the claws of his feet, and the thing on the left is his right arm. I believe his left wing is on the far right of the screen, too. You can also see the tip of his head: It's that pointed thing near the top-center of the screen. (It's best to actually see the video clip in order to understand my reasoning though.)

That's... my interpretation of things. (Yes I know, there are a lot of THINGS in my description of him. laugh new

)

Edit: Oh, and that thing going down the middle is his tail.

Edit 2:

Quote from Hejira:

I doubt it: There is a part of the video where she is running next to Samus, and the fact that she seems to get corrupted along with Samus as well.

Some pretty cool stuff there... vid 2 and 3 were pretty lame (the guy almost appeared to not know what he was doing), but the other 2 were cool.

Pretty sweet looking wall jump that was going on in that "intro" clip. 8-)

I also enjoyed that morph ball maze in the last vid... that is the first time I've seen someone find that in the demo.

This game is going to be awesome, SBing or no.

At least it can't be less original than the bosses in Metroid Prime: Hunters. Anyway, the more I see of the game, the more excited I get. As long as I don't see too much, that is :P

Meh, the more I see, the less excited I get. These videos are looking more and more like a generic FPS by the minute ... I can't exactly determine why.

I'm kinda fence sitting...I like the game alot but the grapics ands stuff look a bit more like Halo then metroid prime..

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. There's too much action, it looks like.
