Metroid Prime Remastered - Zero Punctuation
This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee reviews Metroid Prime Remastered, the revamp of the iconic Retro Studios GameCube FPS.
In the time since UC2 released, Donut Drake would have seen both a public outcry of criticism over the joke of his fatness, and later an outpouring of support for and celebration of it.
GG man changed the screenshot. The original title card had three different Drakes with goofy smiles, and the middle one wearing sunglasses.
And as for today's scenario: yeah, there would be be a whole bunch of useless people crying on Twitter and YouTube about it.

‘Tetris’ Review: Taron Egerton In Sensational Video Game Origin Story That Plays Like A Nail-Biting Cold War Spy Thriller – SXSW
A review of 'Tetris' premiering at SXSW. Taron Egerton stars in the true-life origin story of the famous game that went from Russia to the world.

Wow, I'm actually impressed someone managed to be alive for the last near 40 years and never heard of Tetris.
The name Taron Egerton just screams 'as a child the only shows I was allowed to watch on tv were nature documentaries' and other upper-middle class pretentious twaddle.
At the risk of being the 'Acktually' guy, Taron Egerton is the star of the movie. He was Eggsy in Kingsman, I think that's where he got his start unless he did a bit of British TV first, and can do some absolute belter covers of Elton John songs which landed him the role of the man in a recent movie. I think its the reviewer, Pete Hammond, saying they've never heard of Tetris.

One part of the environmental storytelling and lore I like to point out is also in Latria. In the original, the level has these yellow flags, or straps of cloth, spread throughout the level. This obviously, OBVIOUSLY references the Old Monk's takeover and corruption of the area, which the player only realizes later when they meet the boss and see his famously yellow robes, the source of his power.
No Blue Point saw these bits of foreshadowing, figured yellow wasn't scary enough or something, and made all the flags red. RED How do you even miss the point this bad.

They also did quite a job on Maneaters. When you enter the arena in original, the first thing you see is a pair of glowing green eyes coming at you from darkess, as this extremely creepy and ominous music kicks in. In remake, you'll see the monster right away and the music is changed to a generic orchestra piece. Not to mention that Maneater's design was changed from a statue embedded with a tortured soul to a hairy gorilla with wings.
So um, please stay away from Bloodborne, Bluepoint.
