It never does, it's a meme game tendies prop up because it was their first FPS and also the only notable one on the console

>>712819394
this be my favorite

I don't see how they could possibly top Prime's soundtrack for MP4. it's like top 5 within all of vidya, I swear

Prime 4 already has the vaseline smear all modern nintendo games do, no way it manages to recapture the atmosphere of prime 1 despite the dated graphics

the only way to like Metroid Prime is if you've never played an actual FPS or an actual Metroid

>>712820020
This line of thinking only leads to your disappointment. Prime 2 and 3 both had excellent soundtracks, no reason to think 4 won't be at least as good.

>>712820196
a load of shit. I count Blood as one of my favorite FPS games and I still love Prime, also love the 2D Metroids
Prime isn't even trying to be an FPS, it's an action-adventure and metroidvania first and foremost. it even has a fucking lock-on
might as well call OoT an action game

>>712820364
Don't respond to obvious shitposters, anon.

>>712820364
>Prime isn't even trying to be an FPS,
Yes it is, that's why it's not a metroidvania.

>>712820196
I think Prime is overrated but there are a lot of redeeming qualities to it regardless

>>712820231
Anon it's been nearly 2 decades, nobody involved is related to actual metroid prime. Dread's weakest link was forgettable music. There is plenty of reason to doubt that prime 4 will have a good ost.

Nostalgia is a powerful thing. I loved prime as a kid, but I'm baffled that adults in their 30s are looking at the footage from Beyond and thinking it will be decent let alone good. From my perception it looks like a 6/10 game at best. Also going back to play the prime trilogy as an adult is sobering. There are praiseworthy elements, but they are all presentation fluff. I do not trust modern nintendo to put that level of effort into a release.

no, there's just one and it's "I only had a gamecube when I was 12"

>>712817710 (OP)
When you realize that the only good games are 2D

>>712820196
FPS is one of the most mid genres in vidya.

Sucks for you. The Prime trilogy is still as good as I remembered them to be and 4 is looking great.

>>712820196
kek true

>>712821463
also true lmao

It's easy when you imagine what could've been

Autechre was almost brought on board to do Prime 1's OST before Nintendo VETOd the idea and opted to do it inhouse. I'm not saying Prime's OST is bad but it's interesting to think about what could've got.

I've played a few more games over the last 20 years that may or may not have raised my standards for games. Lock on in an fps is unthinkable in 201X. This is a post doom eternal world and prime is still releasing a game designed around a single stick console controller. Make it make sense.

>>712822114
>Make it make sense
They're different games, different series, different style of FPS. Metroid Prime is barely an FPS in the traditional sense. That's no different than claiming turn-based RPG is "outdated" when real time exists.

>>712822234
no it isn't
it's like saying an FPS without dual analog control in the era where FPS had that feels like clunky shit
>but it's barely an FPS!
yes, because they were literally unable to make it play like one, despite wanting to make an FPS

>>712817710 (OP)
I liked it right off the bat, won't be for everyone though. Some sections are legitimately difficult. If you aren't interested in the metroid universe you won't really care for it either.

It's a "you had to be there" kind of game.

>>712822234
>Metroid Prime is barely an FPS in the traditional sense
It's just a bad fps, simple as that.
