It's a possibility, but there's still the issue of controlling it. It works fine in a sidescroller, it might work decently in third person, but with the way the MP games are designed, it's not possible. And they wouldn't totally redesign the formula just for the sake of adding one new item, so no, "then make it third person" is not a proper response.

In a nutshell, It would be EXTREMELY difficult to put a Speed Booster in a 1st pers. shooter is what you mean right? ...Oh, and btw, arent all sidescrollers also considered 3rd pers. shooters? |

Daz... he meant like how it is with the screw attack. If you aim at something, and activate speed booster, it would run until you disengaged it. Not exactly like screw attack, but... whatever. You would probably only be able to run at certain targets. And I don't seem to remember doors taking more time to open, or any kind of stopping to load of any sort in Metroid Prime. edit: You also wouldn't be able to turn once you activated speed booster. Just straight. And to me, what I just described sounds like a combination of screw attack and grappling beam.... or something. |

It's basically what I'm implying. All you have to do is use your head.

Um, first off, then you obviously have a very faulty memory, as doors stop to load all the damn time. Ever shot a door and stood in front of it for about ten seconds before it finally opened? Happens all the time to me and everyone else i've spoken to about it... And of course it usually seems to happen when you're low on health and under fire trying to escape, but that's another story. XD Anyway, you're again assuming it will work without actually thinking about practical application. If you could only run in a straight line, you'd only be able to use it in completely empty and huge rooms. MP/2 probably have about three validly sized obstacle-free rooms altogether, if that, and there's no way they'd redesign the entire games' map just to allow them to use an item like this. Sure, they could have just a few rooms meant for it, but eh, it just seems kinda pointless and forced that way. Even assuming they did that there's still the issue of load times and game crashing.. Plus, what the hell button would you use for it? Look, they put in the Boost Ball because an actual Speed Booster is not gonna work. That's probably the best we're gonna get. |

1. If the Revolution is capable of faster loading speeds, there could be up to 5 rooms loaded at a time. 2. The speed booster doesn't have to go THAT fast, so i don't see how it would be difficult for controlling. Make it say MP2 screw attack speed. If it had more left/right capabiltiy, it would be easy to control. 3. After running a while, the camera can move to third person. No need for a seperate button. |

I gotta agree with Daz. The speed booster would not be practical, or even very useful for that matter in a 3D metroid game. I mean, what are you possibly gonna do with a speedbooster upgrade in that game, run through a wall? Shinespark a boss? I don't think so. |

1. Okay, fine. 2. If it's not even that fast, what's the point? The screw attack is only a bit faster than walking IIRC.. 3. That would be annoying as hell. >_> Sorry, but randomly shifting to 3rd person every time you start exploring would .. ugh. Just no. |

It's practically the screw attack on foot, except instead of using "B" to constantly jump, you just have to move left to right a bit. |

Alright, never mind, I get what Daz is saying. It would be kinda pointless to put it in for one or two rooms. but of course, there could be a way of using a 'speed booster', so to speak, as an addition to the boost ball. So in stead of short bursts, it's...well... foreverish. Unless you hit something head on, or disengage it (just boost ball button again). But a running speed booster would get kinda annoying. .... speed ball.. odd sounding. you gotta admit, a speed booster morph ball thingermawhatsit would actually work. |
