Well, discussion has halted for a little while, so a new topic in need imo.

What environments would people like to see in this game? We already have Sector Zero, a snowy ruins area and a city-thing in the sky. What else do you want?

A forest. Not a bog or rainforest, a wooded area with many trees for protection. I'd love to see an area like that.

I want to see environments similar to Metroid Prime 1, but hopefully it's much larger.

dark caverns. Talking like incredibly dark so you cant see except without using the x-ray visor. maybe some phosphorescent fungus thrown in there once in a while

Somewhat similar to the quarantine zone in MP1?

more natural. but same lighting almost.

We'll probably see something like that later in the game, near areas of concentrated phazon.

and a 0 grav area would be nice. always wanted that. So many possibilities. Add in physics to have samus projected backwards when she fires her cannon. plus then you can introduce new equipment like magboots or something allows you to stick to metal plating let it be on the floor, walls, or ceiling. similar to the spiderball but in some respects more limiting while in others allowing you to explore more freely

How about a twilight-ish like extradimensional zone for the final battle?

Welcome back Fatherbrain!

That sounds pretty cool. The final battle between Dark Samus and Samus will likely take place is a very wierd environment.

As long as there are no environments like the dark world, I will be happy. Sticking to a few pockets of light was just a pain.

i dont mind a hostile environment once in a while. but not all the time. Actually having an area or two where you have to rush through because you are taking constant damage would be rather interesting and add another challenge. besides which there is pretty much always hostile environments in metroid games. its just most times you can get equipment that negates the damage caused. Like incredibly hot areas or lava

I hope there will be cases in which you will have to evacuate in a certain amount of time.

I think that is a staple of the series.

Yep, expect at least one or two escapes.
