Part 2

Given the difference in style and platform from the previous Metroid games, Other M quite notably has a few interesting tweaks. One of them is that Samus will begin firing before she raises her firearms completely. Doesn’t sound like a big deal, but this was done specifically to simulate the instantly-firing guns of the previous games.

Another interesting change is that despite the completion of a fair amount of CG footage, the team decided to remove them from the game so as not to disrupt the gameplay experience.
