I was a little apprehensive with the previous one but I actually really like what's shown here. Looks like the stuff early on with pirates vs the federation is gonna be the action intro, and then Samus gets summoned (forcefully?) to this planet here. Curiously Samus didn't have the purple color in the previous trailer,
even when on planet Viewros, so either they changed that to not reveal too much or it's something you get early on but not immediately. Might be the former though, the first area is the same as the one shown in the old trailer. Then again, she has an E-Tank already, and she didn't in the previous trailer. So who knows.
At 1:00 we can see that the psychic aliens are called "Lamorn", and also that Samus has an ability named "Psychic Mote" that'll activate it. That's probably what's shown at 1:50?
At 1:05 Samus' charge beam is purple-ish, but it doesn't look like the Wave Beam. I thought this might be a Metroid Prime 2 situation where you get unique beams not from the franchise's standard set, but while in the following scenes against the aliens the beams continue to look non-wavey, at 1:57 it definitely
is the Wave Beam.
Something else I noticed is that in the first trailer the beam used by the Pirates to destroy a Federation defense turret is a
similar shade of purple. Probably means nothing, but yknow
The "abhorrent alien creatures" are interesting to me. They've got a whole cutscene and exposition, and they show up in multiple rooms, so I assume they're more than just a standard enemy, and maybe an antagonist of sorts? But we've already got Sylux and the Space Pirates, so I dunno how major they might be. Something very interesting is that both their head tentacles (though they only have four rather than six) and their additional pair of arms is very much like the Lamorn's.
The guided beam thing seems pretty busted- we've seen Psychic Mote require external help so maybe it's the same for that? Dunno.
"Chosen one. We welcome you.". I assume the first bit is another prophecy, like MP1, but "we" suggests that there's more than this one Lamorn, though they may similarly be in an incorporeal state (wonder if it's a psychic ghost or their "natural" state)
The thing at 2:32 definitely looks like Federation tech. Wonder what's up with that.
2:33 appears to take place in some ruined area. Maybe it's the intro from trailer 1, but I don't think so. Some Space Pirate base on Viewros maybe. There's also two tall towers in the background, I'd assume they're Lamorn architecture but they look to be in much better shape than their palace early on. The scene right after that is tricky to interpret- does the Space Pirate have a Metroid implanted in his body?
"Carvex" is definitely being fought in the area we saw Samus restoring earlier on, with the purple circle. It's also an early game boss, judging by the two E-Tanks. What's really weird here is that Samus only has 10 missiles, whereas she had 30 in Trailer 1, on the Federation Base. Either that happens later (I doubt it), or she gets hurt bad enough to lose her abilities again.
The Beyond Suit (I'm gonna call it that until official name) seems to be obtained in some active environment, there's no dust or erosion here unlike the Lamorn tech we see earlier, and that trends towards lighter colors. Maybe it's a Space Pirate area?
Overall very interesting stuff, I'm looking forward to playing this.
