Just wondering what everybody's thoughts are on how soon after its release there will be a run of Metroid Prime 2. I'm betting on two weeks for the first ones... Anybody else have thoughts?

By "a run", do you mean a good run, or would an extremely crappy 30 hour long one suffice? I think it'll be maybe a month, maybe two, before there's a half decent run (for its time). Then it'll just keep getting better and better (like MP1). Remember, the run has to be planned (it takes time to find tricks and discover the quirks of the game), and THEN it has to be executed, usually repeating segments over and over until one of them is good enough. This can easily take weeks, even months.

I just think that somebody is going to sit down and play it nonstop for two weeks. Find and exploit some bugs built into the game. Granted, after a month or two or six some amazing runs will develop. As a terrible FPS gamer, watching a natural route run would be interesting. Then I don't have to personally experience the agony of sucking at what looks to be an amazing game. Regardless, the runs will in time be remarkable just like MP1.

This game seems extremly beautiful made compared to MP1. I saw yesterday 22 vids for MP2 and man that was some very nice graphical improvements. They have really put an effort to make a new story, new features, screwattack is back :))). And considering of what I have seen so far in the vids, I think after a couple of months the best speedrun time for this game will be close around 2hours. Kip and Radix should go for it.

Yeah - I made a speed run of Four Swords Adventures (Japanese) within 3 weeks of its release, but it was easily an hour too long for a good run. So a good run may take a few months.

I dunno a few months seems to be pushing it for me, look at Radix. He pulled off a Pikman 2 run in less than a month. I think the metroid guys will beat that time.

Thing is, if you look at Pikmin 2 and Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime is much bigger and is much harder to plan.

Importing won't do much good since NTSC game discs don't work in PAL systems. (at least not by default) This region stuff sure is a bitch.

So, Metroid Prime 2 had apparently been Fusion'd. While sequence breaking is possible, it's not nearly as much as in the other games. KaitouKid (BombAHead) should know more about it. Or you could try going to #echoes on irc.metroid2002.com . *plays some more MP 2*

Yeah, damn it. I was really excited about that infinite bomb jump against walls that was possible in the demo of MP2. But it's not in the full version. :( Also, it seems to have borrowed a few ideas from Fusion, which sucks. Not that Fusion is a bad game, it's just not "Metroid-y" if that makes any sense. Anyway, I'm sure it's still a great game, I will definately play it at some point.

From what I've noticed, and I think the guys over at metroid2002.com would agree with me, the game itself is very linear. You cannot get into certain areas until you "unlock" the fusion styles doors. Oh well. I'm sure somebody will find some backdoors. Unfortunately, I'm the most awful player ever so that somebody will never be me. Hell, I can't even sequence break (or beat) Metroid Prime 1... :(

The combat in MP2 totally sucks. But the environment design and exploration aspects of the game are totally top-notch, and that's what Metroid's all about. It's a pity about the lack of sequence breaking. I think it was dumb luck that MP1 turned out to be so speed-runnable.

This game's "sequence" slowly falling apart already, just give it time. Exhibit A.

Really? Can you give any references to the sequence breaking involved, Bladegash?
