Metroid Released on the NES 30 years ago today, 15th of August, and with the E3 announcement that Metroid II would be remade as Metroid Samus Returns for the Nintendo 3DS we turned our attention towards Milton Guasti, the developer who spent about 10 years working on AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake). Shortly after releasing the remade game in 2016, he received a takedown request under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) from Nintendo. We wondered how he felt about this and what he’s been doing since.

Secondly, I want to ensure we actively look at the sentiment and create a holistic view of WHY feedback is given. And my working theory is that TTK is too high."
They need to give us weapons that are fun to use. Right now you will have over 30 enemy patrols that randomly appear around you in a near never ending horde. Most of the weapons we are getting are either semi automatic guns that can take out 1 light armored mob if you hit the weak point or low damage automatic rifles with high recoil.
To make the game more fun, we need some fun futuristic weapons. I would love to see a gun that can fire elemental rounds except for incendiary and a proper thermite grenade.
Druckmann claims the tech could 'push the boundaries of storytelling in games.'
I’m more interested in what else he said.
“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’
He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.
I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.

I hope Bluepoint are working on BB remake..
Sony now seem to have lost it with all the gaas, i have no hope in seeing them approaching FS to make a sequel. I hope gamers will push Sony and show continuous disapproval to the gaas model
I don’t know how to feel, Armored Core just isn’t as good as Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and the like.
I hope he does a new IP instead
Fortunately, if you're not interested in the AC series, he doesn't say he plans to drop everything to work exclusively on the next one, as implied by the article header. Just general comments about it being an important series he wants to be involved with at some point.
Definitely a good sport. His game did look really good though. I'm going to have to pick up "Metroid Samus Returns".
They did allow him to let it out into the wild. Given publicity little to no chance of anyone else re-releasing it and trying to clam it as theirs.
Daamm give that man a medal
