![]() ![]() ![]() Samus continues through several more rooms with a natural look before reaching another artificial room. Apparently recognizing her, the hatchling stops, sparing Samus's life. The Metroid Hatchling, now fully grown, appears and attacks Samus, reducing her energy level to 1. Native plants and animals of Zebes are seen, but the majority of them are devoid of life, and appear to be in decay. Once all of the Metroids have been defeated, allowing Samus to advance, a more naturally-occurring section of Tourian is accessed. As in the original, Metroids attack Samus from the foreground, and as in Zero Mission they must all be killed to advance. Super Metroid's Tourian maintains the same artificial look of the original, as well as the presence of both Rinkas and Metroids. Kraid and Ridley again stand in between Samus and Tourian, but this time, Phantoon and Draygon must also be killed in order for Samus to advance. This elevator shaft is sealed by the Golden Statue, and cannot be accessed until four bosses are defeated. Instead, an elevator in the western parts of Crateria, which comprises the surface and top layers of Zebes, is its entry point. In Super Metroid, Tourian's location has changed, and it is no longer accessed through the upper areas of Brinstar. However, upon defeating Mother Brain, a time bomb is set, and Samus is required to flee through a long, upward escape shaft, leading to the surface of Zebes. Mother Brain, protected by five barriers of Zebetite, several turrets, and a constant barrage of Rinkas, is the final boss encountered by Samus in Tourian. This is accomplished by freezing them with the Ice Beam and shooting them with Missiles. In Zero Mission, Metroids appear from the background, and must be exterminated before the next room can be accessed. In the original, Metroids are always visible in the foreground, and killing them is not required. While there are no Space Pirates in Metroid's Tourian, Zero Mission contains the bodies of dead Space Pirates, implying that they were killed by the Metroids. Throughout Tourian, Rinkas constantly appear to stall Samus's progress, implying a defense system. Tourian is a series of long hallways with doors of various levels blocking the way, requiring the use of Missiles to proceed. After the barrier, an elevator leading down to Tourian can be accessed. There, a barrier blocks the way, and it can only be opened by the defeat of Kraid and Ridley in their respective hideouts. In both games, the entry point to Tourian is reached by ascending a tall shaft east of the staring point in Brinstar, and traveling westward from there. So get ready to blast off in a rocket fuelled Starfield performance preview.Though their maps vary to some extent, Metroid and Zero Mission feature comparable maps, with Tourian located in roughly the same place in both. We also compare the improvements over the previous showing, enhancements within the engine, and much more. The biggest question after the show(s) was: why is it 30fps on Xbox Series X and Series S and not 60fps? In this IGN Performance preview, we dive into the details shared by the team, the revealed PC minimum and recommended specifications, and how the Creation Engine 2 works, comparing the previous games to gauge some of the potential reasons why the team might have chosen 30fps. With Starfield being the center of the Xbox 2023 Showcase last week, Bethesda gave us a deep dive into one of the biggest games this generation. ![]()
