Spoiler Metroid Dread has leaked. Be careful for spoilers (heavy marked spoilers inside)

[Magic-Man]

PLEASE MARK ALL SPOILERS. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Spoiler: Non story, non gameplay spoiler

SAMUS HAS VOICE ACTING!

 

[kimbo99]

Wow that's pretty intense. And that is for keeping it hidden. It's not really story related but it's a huge revelation that some may be happy about.

 

[Reinhard Schneider]

Oooookay, this is uh... Interesting. Not the leal of course (fuck that) but the contents of the spoiler

Spoiler

Metroid is one of the last games i expected to have voice acting. Was that a real language or an invented one?

Well we know from the last direct and gameplay previews that

Spoiler: clip above

That Adam AI is voiced and speaks in English. So either that's a clip of Samus from a Japanese/another language copy of the game, or she's speaking Chozo.

 

[EvilChameleon]

This particular bit of information has certainly increased my interest in this game greatly.

 

[tjhin]

5 more days. Oled + Dread.

 

[sanstea]

That isn't Japanese, so she has to speak Chozo here.

And I love the voice they chose.

 

[DecoReturns]

the first thing I asked for when it was reveled was

Spoiler

Voice Acting.

Can’t believe I got that right lol

 

[Dragoncaine]

Let's try to keep all major gameplay and story details out of this thread, okay? This isn't actually a spoiler thread. Just a place to talk about some interesting things in the leaked clips.

Spoiler: Non story, non gameplay spoiler

SAMUS HAS VOICE ACTING!

That's amazing. This is all I wanted to know about the game. I'm even more hyped now.

 

[Reinhard Schneider]

EDIT: Wrong tab lol

 

[MisterSpo]

Oh no

*takes an axe to the router*

 

[TreIII]

Stan the bilingual queen.

I wonder who her VA is now.

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

Music is chill-inducing as usual. Let‘s goooo

If people don't want this up I can delete this but these aren't major gameplay spoilers, just showing off and possibly expanding on mechanics we've seen already

But, it will spoil some puzzles so if you don't want that don't look. If you don't care, then damn this is hype

Spoiler: Speedbooster/Shinesparking

Speedbooster clip, follows off of a bit we saw in one of the Dread reports


Shinespark puzzle


Use shinesparking to start a combat encounter (enemies we've already seen before). I'm not too familiar with how shinesparking worked in previous games (I didn't do any of the tricky puzzles in Zero Mission, for example) but were you allowed to jump while holding the charge?

 

[Phantom Thief]

So

Spoiler: Question about spoiler contents

this is a different VA than the one from Other M?

Holy shit. The movement in this game is unreal. It looks soooo much more fluid than Samus Returns.

Fears still not assuaged about the music, but this looks amazing

 

[sanstea]

The sound effects are so crunchy and mechanical. Really like the sound design.

Feel like the music is too low, though maybe that’s just the compositions we’ve heard themselves

 

[sanstea]

Of course it's dependent on the music. In some you can always hear it, in other areas the speedbooster overpowers the ambience.

 

[Lovecatt]

Idk why but that clip in the op got me so hyped

 

[Starphanluke]

Wait...

Spoiler

Is that a real language from a foreign copy, or is she speaking Chozo? It isn't Japanese (I speak it), but otherwise I don't recognize it.

 

[meaulnes]

Shame that some will not be able to use the speedbooster that much, will need pause to find themselves when entering new rooms

 

[NabiscoFelt]

Doorn't you dare bring this up

 

[Donnie]

Oh no

 

[Magic-Man]

Can't believe I'm this excited for a game with DS graphics

 

[DecoReturns]

Can't believe I'm this excited for a game with DS graphics

Come on. Metroid Dread looks great but not as great as Death Stranding on PS5.

Spoiler

 

[Red Monster]

Can't believe I'm this excited for a game with DS graphics

Honestly it’s such a shame that Dread is on Switch, what a waste. Why don’t they put it on a real console like the Ps5?

 

[Slash]

Shame that some will not be able to use the speedbooster that much, will need pause to find themselves when entering new rooms

Uh oh

 

[Heruderu]

The game looks fun. Too bad the image quality is abysmal and the framerate drops everywhere, it even looks like it’s 30 fps smh

Spoiler

/s just in case

 

[Dragoncaine]

Shame that some will not be able to use the speedbooster that much, will need pause to find themselves when entering new rooms

Aw shit, here we go again

 

[k samedi]

Hype!

Nintendo is probably the only company in the world who can get people hyped about voice acting.

 

[undefined]

Slightly scared of reading stuff but for those who already have it, any early impressions? How does it feel compared to Samus Returns?

Feel free to delete if this is too much but here is a major boss spoiler

Spoiler: Major Boss Spoilers

 

[Pawprii]

Spoiler

leaker is 8 hours in but only collected 39% of the items

 

[Slash]

Spoiler

Do you have a link to where these videos are coming from?

 

[snikdasnek]

Do you have a link to where these videos are coming from?

They're coming from /v/ on 4chan if you have the stomach for it

 

[Dopply]

Added spoiler prefix but you already know I didn't read whatever was in that damn spoiler embed, peace out

Good god almighty *sweats, faints*

 

[Phendrift]

Hopefully the music is ripped soon

 

[NabiscoFelt]

Yeah, nope

I'll just wait for info to be shared over here

 

[Dragoncaine]

Good god almighty *sweats, faints*

Must...resist...urge...to look...

 

[Dragoncaine]

Spoiler

leaker is 8 hours in but only collected 39% of the items

Spoiler

Damn, so only 39% completion in 8 hours?! Let's goooooooooo
I got 93% completion in 16 hours on my first SR run, so this sounds amazingly promising, especially considering that game's repetitive structure

 

[Phendrift]

Has the leaker given any impressions? How’s the interconnectivity of the areas? The music?

 

[Brock Reiher]

Spoiler

I didn't think they'd ever give her voice acting again after the response to Other M

 

[Pawprii]

Spoiler: leaker's impression

• samus feels like a dream to control
• areas are large and filled with multiple bosses
• 8 hours in and already fighting bigbird （however the game does not take account boss fight resets）
• leaker thinks that big bird is not the final boss since some plot point is not answered

 

[Red Monster]

Ohhhhhhh my god

This clip isn’t even all that remarkable. But it looks so good

 

[NabiscoFelt]

• 8 hours in and already fighting bigbird （however the game does not take account boss fight resets）
• leaker thinks that big bird is not the final boss since some plot point is not answered

Spoiler

Since the leaker is apparently only at 39% completion, I wouldn't be surprised if Big Bird was more of an "ending of act 2" kind of boss and Act 3 only starts after you beat him (maybe it's where the X start to show up)
