Metroid Prime Done Even Quicker

Posted by simoniker on from the zoom-zoom-zoom dept.

Thanks to the Gaming-Age forum regulars for pointing to news of a new world speed record at Metroid Prime for GameCube. The record-breaker, Radix, was originally inspired by an earlier Slashdot article about CALFoolio's non-item-based speed record, and "decided... to focus on a 100% speed run: one that gets all 100 items in the game." This run comes with a complete video record of the amazingly swift 1 hour, 37 minute play-through.

    ... in a time honored Metroid fashion, if you finish the game THAT fast, does she take off more than ther suit during the end credits? ;)

  2. Oddly enough, by Dr.+Photo · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "CalFoolio" doesn't even play Metroid Prime anymore. (Probably got sick of it after countless speed runs.)

    And there are not 100 items in the game. A 100% score indicates that you've been everywhere and scanned everything.

    I'd like to see you doing that with a PS game which is maybe "cool" but certainly not *FUN*.

    Man, I can't tell you how many times I played through SSX and SSX:Tricky just to shave seconds off my time or get more points. That was fun as hell. I spent even more time levelling up items alone in Disgaea. That was great fun as well.

    There ARE plenty of quality games on EACH console, it's just that the PS2 and XBox have a lot of crappy titles in addition to the good ones.
