Prime 4 isn't just a safe Prime 1 retread (SM upgrades, Ice/Fire/Grass worlds, Space Pirates, Ridley) with bigger areas. Does a lot of unique stuff, like Prime 2.
Prime 4 is non-linear like M1, SM, and ZM.
Physic powers are a meaningful gimmick, not just window dressing (e g. Dark World vs. Hypermode)
Sylux is heavily involved in the plot.
MercurySteam is working on Metroid 6, out 2026
Retro is already working on Prime 5, comes out in 2-3 years.

Prime 4 is linear like Prime 1-3.
Physic powers are window dressing (Press X to open purple physic door)
