Control Corruption in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Samus has control issuesSo maybe Metroid Prime 3: Corruption being pushed back to 2007 isn’t a bad idea after all. A lot of people who have actually been able to play the demo say that there are some control issues with the game’s responses to the Wiimote. And hopefully, by the time the game does come out, Retro Studios would have been able to fix some of these issues.

One complaint is that the controls are inconsistent, saying that the crosshairs move fast around the screen, but when you point them to the edge (to turn Samus around), the camera moves in a slower pace to catch up with the crosshair. It’s not that obvious in the demo trailer, but we could imagine how much of a hassle this would be if you were actually playing the game.

It’s a good thing the developers still retained the auto-lock targeting feature from the previous two games. This greatly reduces the whole “camera-crosshairs” chasing gig into something more tolerable and less-obvious than the demo.

Let’s just hope that by the release date, Samus is ready for launch. Waiting, waiting, waiting… Sigh…
