TwinIon Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I recall not loving Prime 1 as much as some others because I wasn't a fan of first person platforming without dual stick controls. After seeing how much of a visual improvement this one is along with the control tweaks make me excited to give this a go. Certainly the first Switch game in a while I'll play through.

Let’s be honest, first person platforming sucks with dual stick controls. You’re more used to the method of movement and have adjusted over years, but guesstimating where the ground and your invisible feet end is a definite weakness of the perspective. And it manifests more apparently with dual stick controls than anything else. I thought the subtle tilt Retro did when jumping was ingenious. I understand why they had to take it out for the dual stick option, but still. I played Supraland not too long ago, that game tried to fix the problem by actually showing you your feet when looking down, to facilitate precision platforming. It still didn’t quite work IMO. Modern FPSs don’t often experiment with smaller platforms for this reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 The one thing that might help with Prime is it being a dark game and the contrast on oled kinda making up for some of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen plenty of footage and I'm not worried at all about the visuals. I'm more worried about struggling with the puzzles and traversing the world. It will be awesome I'm sure.

No excuse really. 100% disagree. Dooms map was easy to navigate. It always showed where to go, also showed where all the hidden stuff was. Sure you had to explore to find the secret stuff but I'd love eternals map style to be in the MPrime game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Prime's map could do for some item icons for my taste, or at the very least a color coded "something is here," system. I could see how that might turn some people off, but RE2 Remake's handling of this was super respectful of my time and I very much appreciated it. There are like 2-3 choke points in Prime where I always kind of forget where to go or not know what I should be looking for, even with the hint system. Again, maybe a bit hand holdy for some, but I would personally like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said they did add a hint system to the game that does tell you if you can do something in an area. Make sure you have that option turned on.
