" Spire is the sole remaining Diamont, the last member of an ancient silicone-based race whose bodies are composed of organic rock. "




possible?
Thread title: 
would be cool.
Why isn't the image tag showing? The image is crucial to the thread :(
soaking through
Think it might not work for bitmaps.



There we go.

Looks pretty promising.  Good find.
I don't get it...
What's in the picture that gives us some info of Spire's (or any other Diamont's) existence?
I'm guessing it's the statue in the side of the cliff in the top left corner of the screen.

Also the whole area just screams "giant rock creatures live here".
Yeah, that too...  laugh new

I added a pic of spire, and his mouth and facial fetures REALLY look like those things...
Spire is the ONLY Diamont, and correct me if I'm wrong but IIRC Retro already confirmed that the MPH hunters won't be in the game, so no Spire himself. So maybe there will be creatures similar to Diamonts, but the Diamonts themselves doesn't seem likely.

Ready and willing.
Or maybe the dead world of the Diamonts.
If MP3 is before MPH in the timeline, the race can still be alive... Maybe  Samus causes their extinction?
Hunters is between Prime and Prime 2. Corruption is after Prime 2.
Bananas GOOD, Kremlings BAD
Either way, the planet's ruins and local probably-insect wildlife will still be around.

Yep, I'm betting it's the abandoned Diamont world. Wouldn't be the first time they've lifted something directly from one of their previous games (KOFF Grenchlers KOFF).

Except it'll be nice and new for me.  Go not having played Hunters.
Except Hunters was not their game.  Also what Mr Potter said about what Retro said.

The planet here has definately been seen 2 other times: the bombing run and heavy lifting parts of the attract vids.  The sea urchin looking rocks/plants are there too.

What appears to be a moon of phazon being mined in the background  makes this place an important one (probably visited far into the game).  But being an old-ish image, we might be looking at the recent demo area 3 (the brown ground and sky are similar enough).

That doesnt mean that Hunters isnt "canon"; Hunters is labeled "prime" for some reason. We could very well be visiting the world that Spire's race *used* to live on. There isn't any solid reason to rule it out that I can see.
They can even pull a "Well actually Spire THOUGHT he was the last of his race but ta-da, he was wrong"

Or they rebourned and maybe got evil because of the phazons influence.

...Or the Phazon somehow sampled left-over DNA and --Voila!-- a new Diamont!
And rarely (especially in console RPGs) the sole remaining member of a race actually is so. But in the end, if they want the Diamont, they will find a way, no matter what. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

this is what I would think given pic evidence . . .not saying spire would be in the game, but it might be the planet that the diamonts lived on before the race died off . . . .think of the original metroid prime for a good example of what I'm trying to get at (chozo used to live there but don't anymore for whatever reason)

thats no moon....


its a mountain.
