Free Updates Incoming for Metroid Dread
Two free updates have been announced for Metroid Dread during today's Nintendo Direct.
The 1st free update includes Dread Mode, where you die in a single hit, and Rookie Mode, which provides greater healing for players who struggle with the games base difficulty. This update is available later today.
A 2nd free update is due for release in April 2022, and will bring a Boss Rush mode to the game.

Boss rush! gimme gimme gimme gimme.
That Dread mode though. no fucking way. hard pass. that's insanity
RE: Metroid (Series) - Moonface - Feb 11th, 2022
You just know some madman is going to have a speed run of Dread Mode put together and have it on the next GDQ.
RE: Metroid (Series) - Monocle - Feb 11th, 2022
oh i totally believe it. I'm sure there's a category on speedrun websites already. I. wonder if anyone I follow is gonna try it

RE: Metroid (Series) - Monocle - Feb 22nd, 2022
maybe people just wanted to go for the most difficult thing right away. I know I'm not about that at all.

I also suspect that as people are learning routes in that difficulty they'll just start with the simplest and quickest so that time isn't wasted collecting an item on a run that ends in death.

I wonder how many exploits were used. I know a few were patched out already
RE: Metroid (Series) - Moonface - Feb 25th, 2022
I don't think I've ever heard of a game patching out exploits used for speed running; unless the exploits were also harming regular players if people could accidentally trigger them and such. What ones got patched out?
Also in case you missed the alert I put something about Dread in the game demake thread in General Gaming you might find interesting.
RE: Metroid (Series) - Monocle - Feb 26th, 2022
Yeah they did with dread. there was a glitch that caused you to be invincible. there were speedrun for it too called Suitless runs. Patch 1.0.3 killed that glitch and destroyed an entire speedrun category
RE: Metroid (Series) - Moonface - Apr 24th, 2022
@Monocle, have you seen this video that breaks down the animation of Metroid Dread?
There was also this very recent video made by DidYouKnowGaming? that shares a lot of secrets from the Metroid Prime developers that haven't been shared before:
I'm not sure whether to watch this one at some point or if it'll go over my head from not having played the game or really knowing anything about it.
RE: Metroid (Series) - Monocle - May 4th, 2022
I haven't seen either of them but I'll need to take a look whenever I get a day off
RE: Metroid (Series) - Moonface - May 4th, 2022

I'm hoping I can watch the videos tomorrow, or at least the Dread one. Not sure if it's worth me watching the Prime one since I know nothing about the game.

Just came across this tweet where someone is making a Metroid N64 game:
I never knew the N64 didn't get a Metroid game. Would that make it one of the only pre-established Nintendo IP's to not get an entry on that system?
