Metroid Prime 4

[QUOTE="theuncharted34"]

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] I just want them to do F-Zero. Or like another poster said, a Star Fox :cry:charizard1605

Star fox is probably dead now, sadly. At least for a long time.

Maybe F-Zero is too for all I know. GX kind of bombed at retail, it seems Ninty doesn't want to take risks with those franchises anymore.

If anything a new F-Zero is more likely, since it's been much longer since the last F-Zero game.

I didn't even know there was an F-Zero game for the GBA :P

I too hope that Starfox is just resting, and not down for the count. :( I would buy a traditional Star fox game with excellent graphics day 1.

Thanks for that, DL! I'm currently field testing it as we speak... but I'm only getting one image on my end. Let me poke around some more...

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] This is one I found on Google, but I can't attest to how good it is. It changes between the images you give it every time a post page refreshes.

No, wait! It works :o

For some reason, you must hit refresh... otherwise the image doesn't change if you leave the thread and come back in via the new posts link. Odd, but it works :o

Meh, I'm satisfied :lol: Anyone curious enough to want to see others can hit that refresh button. Thanks for the enlightenment, DL!

To be honest, I'd be happy if they did remastered the Metroid Prime Series (1, 2, and 3)so that it had all updated textures, special effects, increased polygon count, widescreen, 1080p, and full surround sound while using the wii remote scheme from MP3, but released for the WiiU.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Maybe you should try a different one then. :PDarkLink77

Meh, I'm satisfied :lol: Anyone curious enough to want to see others can hit that refresh button. Thanks for the enlightenment, DL!

Actually, let me tell you, it's better to use this one. It allows me to use as many images as I'd like, where a few others I sampled just now limits it. And since I'm constantly making more (there are 19 as of now), I can add them as I make them.

So again, thanks a bunch! ;)

I would love the idea of Metroid Prime 4 on Wii U. Scanning with the controller would be pretty awesome and easily accessible . :)bbkkristian

They just re-released the MP Trilogy remastered, I highly doubt they'll do it again so soon.charizard1605

Metroid Prime 1 IS the best game ever made (afaik). Prime 2 wasn't as good but still not bad. I'd love a Prime 4. Make the world larger and more open, add more destruction, implement some stealth gameplay perhaps, it could be so good. That would be the ONLY game I'd consider getting a Wii-U for currently.

[QUOTE="Giant_Panda"]Prime 2 wasn't as good but still not bad. foxhound_fox

The light and dark worlds were a cool idea but I felt the combat and atmosphere were a let down compared to Prime.

[QUOTE="Giant_Panda"]Prime 2 wasn't as good but still not bad. foxhound_fox

Honestly, the LACK of a real check point system really REALLY killed the game and the series for me.

I could live with the back tracking, wondering around aimlessly and respawning enemies, but the lack of a real check point or save anywhere system totally destroyed the pacing of what could have been, to me at least, a phenominal single player immersive experience.

I'd rather have Team Ninja make another one. Other M's faults were largely not their fault.

Let's see.

Metroid Prime game, took ~3 years to develop, sells for 500-1500k.

DKCR, took ~2 years to develop, sells for 5 million.

Nintendo, in the 3DS+Wii U era, needs to be effective in order to maintain an acceptable games/year ratio, as it requires way more resources (which they have little of; 200 people altogether have worked on Zelda spanning 25 years while the AC team has around 500 employees)

Horrible business move to let Retro work on Prime 4 from Nintendo.

KingsofQueens

They are Metroidvanias (niche genre, probably why you dislike the games) and Other M is an action paced, story-driven, linear TPS with Metroid elements, which is as close as it gets to checkpoint based.

You could've used the hint system and with some general gaming experience you can easily maintain a high pace in Prime 1+3, they are straightforward, 2 is a cluster**** though. Getting used to the 3D map is also very helpful.

^ Dark Aether really feels like somewhere you really don't want to be. I never finished Echoes on Hard, either. I hated going to Dark Lower Torvus. Still do- that place is suffocating. But it just shows how good Retro is at atmosphere.

Sakamoto has been very clear that he does not consider the prime games to be canon. They are a side franchise. Games like Fusion and Other M are the future of metroid.

They should just branch out the Metroid franchise like what the Halo series did. I'm getting sick of Samus and the lone gunman type persona. They should make a game about the galactic feds or Prime Hunters 2 without Samus.

I personally think Metroid: other M was a good game, no need to dis it.

As for Metroid prime 4, I too would like to see Retro Studios work with Ninty on this one. The graphical layouts in HD on a metroid game= jaw dropping slobber with joy on new wii u controller lol.

Um no, he's not made it "very clear". But, you got to give credit to the fanboys for really twisting his words around just so they can say he's made it very clear.

The internet never ceases to amaze!

[QUOTE="forgot_it"][QUOTE="Timstuff"]Nintendo gave Sakamoto in charge of being Nintendo Japan's supervisor for Metroid Prime 3, and it was considered the weakest of the trilogy because of his interference and generally misguided ideas about the Metroid franchise. Then, they let him produce Metroid Other M, and at least half the fanbase hated it and wanted him gone.Timstuff

Miyamoto was the Nintendo Japan producer for the first two games, and many speculate that Sakamoto was resentful of it since Miyamoto was not part of the original Metroid team, and Sakamoto felt that he should have been given Miyamoto's position since he was one of the artists who worked on the first game and directed Super Metroid (but I reiterate, he was not the producer). Thus, when Miyamoto stepped back, Sakamoto stepped in and set about trying to put his own stamp on the Metroid franchise and distancing it from Miyamoto's contributions, and by extension, Retro's. When Nintendo actually gave Sakamoto the greenlight to produce and direct a Metroid game for consoles, he gave us Other M, and much fanrage ensued.

I wouldn't mind a metroid prime 4 or has been shown a super metroid remake.

Considering Japan's distaste for first person games, it's understandable.

That does beg the question: if the Metroid series has only really been successful in the United States, should Nintendo just hand the franchise over to Western devs a la Retro?

Here's a video that sums up Metroid: Other M's story pretty effectively, if you use your imagination a little. ;)

See? I saved you the $10 it would cost to grab a used copy of Other M. :lol:

There will be no metroid prime 4 since the MP trilogy ended. And Other M was awesome, the hate is not justified. Nothing wrong for it being newLastRambo341

I would like both a Metroidd Prime 4 and Other M 2.

I loved the look and atmosphere of ythe Prime game,s so to have one on the Wii U on a HD TV would be amazing. Plus if the game was as good as Metroid Prime 1 and 2, it would be an amazing experience. After that though I'd like to see Nintendo go back to a 2D experience like Super Metroid again.

I loved the conmbat of Other M and would love another game with it. Just take away the pixel hunts, have it so the "fight" with the main antagonist of the game isn't a f***ing pixel hunt, and make it so Samus's Gravity suit (or whatever suit or suits she gets) changes color, and it will be perfect.

I thought this was an announcment of Metroid Prime 4. :P

In all seriousnessthough I would love for Retro Studios to make a fourth one with HD graphics naturally, even more expansive and larger variety of levels, new weapons. You know, all that good stuff.

And NO MP!That mode is poisonous to core FPSs. I'm sick of seeing FPSs have medicore/below average SP and medicore/below average MP. If they develop another one, don't do any MP.

No way, charizard. That spot in the timeline is reserved for the fabled Metroid Dread.

Or perhaps Another M... ;)

Have you no faith in Dread :o Now that the DS is old news, a traditional Metroid game on 3DS seems to be the best course of action.

I remember retro studios said that they are taking a break from metriod series, I don't mind they do another one but its up to them to do whatever they want like reviving one of the nintendo franchises or make a their own ip. I enjoy MP2 more than the first one because MP2 is the hardest of all.Enforcedspot
