If Nintendo doesn’t say anything about this such as a release date by August I’m gonna be very concerned.

>>712821783
And he's not wrong. None of the Prime games are that good. Especially when compared to the sidescrollers. The first two games were fine as spectacle games to show you what the Gamecube could pull off, but after that you can't play through the games again from start to finish without getting bored or forcing yourself through it again. Or at least remembering how many "that moments" the game has.

>>712822106
This is bait. I played the Prime games well after they came out and 100%’d all of them except 3 because I only played that one recently and want to wait til beating 4 to replay the first 3 again.
>>712821974
Agreed. I think it’s 50/50 for whether we see this as a Direct announcement or Random announcement

>>712822106
I've replayed prime two years ago when the remaster released and was amazed at how well it held up and how it still kicked the shit out of 99% of all games released today, I think it's a (You) problem (the problem is you're indian)

>>712822106
Prime 1's the highest rated FPS of all time.

>>712821743
Blame Miyamoto for forcing first person view instead of third person like Retro originally wanted

>>712821743
You didn't think it was more atmospheric and isolating? How...how can this be?

>>712822468
He was right. It would take a studio even better than Retro back then to make a good Third Person Metroid

>>712822106
>I'm not a fan of Metroid Prime and I do not understand Metroid Prime.
That's all you needed to say.

>>712822549
Honestly, I wanted first person Metroid to be more like pic related.

>>712821743
The focus on the visor makes it work pretty well

>>712823689
Makes no sense. Samus is an unstoppable beast who kills everything in her path.
Ripley was vulnerable in Alien and to a lesser degree in Aliens. I already think about “Jesus Ripley kills like nobody in her movies but her daughter easily kills like 20+ people directly by shooting them”, like Isolation is supposed to be about you being the hunted, not the hunter. I would like to see Alpha, Gamma, Zeta, Omega, and maybe even Queen Metroids in 3D though

>>712824159
Exactly just do it like that part in Zero Mission when she loses her suit and has to travel defenceless. Then then then second game can be like Alien 2 where she can start to wreck shit.

>>712822106
Ahh the typical "it was never good" response, a classic from /v/.

>>712822106
Doesnt matter, they sell consoles.

>>712821347 (OP)
The weird lack of marketing and clarity around this game tells me it's probably shit. If it was good they would have spearheaded the switch 2 launch with it.

>>712821347 (OP)
nintendo always do a direct in september, so we'll probably hear about it then, and hopefully some new games
they wanna focus on dk bazinga right now

>>712825242
Metroid hunters was the only new Nintendo game for the ds launch, seems to have worked out all right for that system

>>712824462
That’s actually not a horrible idea for a spin off

>>712825389
Who the actual fuck plays that game besides the most autistic people imaginable

>>712825242
It sold me a GC

>>712825484
People who bought a ds at launch

>>712825389
Metroid Federation Force on the 3DS sold more. Your point?

Stupid sexy ball

>>712825484
It sold for the fact that it was the first game to try Nintendo's online service on the DS. It being Metroid in the age of Halo online meant Nintendo fans also finally had something they could play online from Nintendo that was an FPS or in the style of an FPS (and could probably fill the place MP2's multiplayer couldn't on Gamecube). Hunters wasn't a good game for single player although I liked the cutscense that used the dual screens as one long screen, but the only reason for its existence was to show you could finally play online. It was pretty nice for the time too, but the selling point wasn't necessarily that it was Metroid.

>>712826114
The ds sold 150 million units and the launch momentum was carried by metroid, the 3ds flopped so hard they had to do an emergency price cut because their launch title was nintendogs. This tells me that metroid is fine as a launch system seller

>>712821347 (OP)
Who cares. The games going to be shit lil bro

>>712826694
True

>>712821347 (OP)
I'm still holding out hope that this is a holiday release and Prime 2 and 3 HD is shadow dropped for the summer.

>>712826694

Let's laugh at those stuck on Switch 1.

>>712827082
Let's laugh at those who wont emulate it day one on PC.

>>712827632
Not them but I am cautiously optimistic about this game, like I want it to be good but things are looking a bit weird

I'm really curious how the mouse controls will work on switch 2 for prime 4

>>712827920
If Bravely Default is anything to go off of, the mouse controls are incredibly smooth but will cramp the fuck out of you hand unless you're using it at the perfect angle.

>>712828389
well if that happens I'll just use the motion aiming

>>712828389
How does BD use the mouse?

>>712828512
The new minigames it added to the remaster require the mouse controls and can't be played any other way. One game is a rhythm game and the other you control Ringabel flying the ship in 1st person.

>>712828702
>new minigames
Oh I didnt know about that. Is it just for items? Did they add anything extra in the way of bosses?

>>712828784
To my knowledge that's all the new content. I don't know for sure, only started playing a few days ago. But yeah, the minigames give tokens you exchange for items, equipment, or cosmetic costumes. All the costumes are from the Japanese version that didn't come to the Western releases except for the brand new Perma-Job Outfit, which lets you use any job outfit regardless of your chosen jo (ie, looking like a Knight but your job is Black Mage)

>>712829075
So that guy was wrong, every version of the game has all the outfits, they are not censored in the western release

>>712821347 (OP)
Metroid Prime 1 is one of my favourite games but i hope they evolve the combat in MP4. It's really basic and in 2025 we need more.

I hope they port prime 2/3 to switch 2

if they do a MP4 Direct instead of a trailer on a general Direct it would suck, since only Metroid fans would see a MP4 Direct

>>712827632
You kys retard. Haven't seen the psychic powers bitch trope at all in the last 10 years lmao. Stupid fucking mutt.

>>712826562
Prime Hunters sold only a little over 1 million units in the entire lifetime of the DS, one of Nintendo's best selling devices of all time, and also managed to sell less than Echoes. Also DS itself wasn't even setting the world on fire sales wise until the red DS launched with Mario Kart, which was the first major system seller for the DS. Eventually you got stuff like Nintendogs (which sold around 28 million on DS) and such that came out and sold like crazy too while Hunters sales remained stagnant. It's like people decide to show up and lie about things in the hopes nobody actually around at the time is around to catch them.

>>712821974
>not a big fan of NINTENDO TODAY
You'll either hear about it from the app or 30 seconds later on Twitter or /v/, I don't understand what there is to not be a fan of. The granular looks at upcoming games are neat for the kind of sperg who would download a Nintendo news app.

will samus look like her smash ultimate version in prime 4 or will they go back to the ugly man faced version from 1

>>712826562
I guarantee you that a significant portion of people who remember Metroid Prime Hunters only do so because of the demo cartridge. Metroidfags are in for a rude awakening when Prime 4 releases and its legs fall off at 2.5 million units, it's not a system seller outside of its niche, I'm not even sure it will get a particularly big boost from the novelty of new hardware either

>>712829618
>Also DS itself wasn't even setting the world on fire sales wise until the red DS launched with Mario Kart, which was the first major system seller for the DS.
It was also the first Mario Kart game that was online, you could connect wirelessly with your friends locally with one cart, and it was a good Mario Kart on the go (outside of GBA). And the online was actually not bad. I don't know what it is with Nintendo and Mario Kart's online, but that seems to be the only game they know how to get right when it comes to that.

her reflection in Remastered looked more cute than in 4, but at least she now reacts to stuff

>>712821347 (OP)
Everything I've seen of this seems kinda boring, like its just Metroid Prime: Another One. I want a 3d metroid game where Samus has the agility of her 2d games and I thought we might finally get it with the popularity of NuDoom and Dread

>>712830582
I'm perfect fine with another prime game and nothing else

>>712830519
I didn't notice that, looks cool.

Doubtful imo, 3D Metroid is a bit more difficult to get into than 2D so I dunno if casuals will bite the bullet on it
I think it'll sell at least 2 mill alone off hype

>>712832545
What hype?

>>712832545
idk at the same time you had the retarded normalfags who thought that dread shouldn't be worth 60 dollars because its a 2d game. Their thought process is legitimately "3D > 2D because 2D is old"

>>712832545
2D platformers tend to sell better than 3D platformers too iirc

>>712832545
>it'll sell at least 2 mill alone off hype
Who's hyped about this? I'm not trying to say people like yourself aren't excited, but I only hear of the Metroid Prime segment of the Metroid fanbase who aren't just going to buy it on the first Switch they already own who really caring about this game in the first place. It has almost no buzz otherwise.

>>712833736
You asked me the first time and I ignored your dumbass question and you asked me a second time and I'm still ignoring it

>>712821347 (OP)
This game is the last hope for metroid. The 2D games have been fucked since fusion

>>712821347 (OP)
It is the October title. You'll get a Metroid Prime 4 focused direct in September, along with a "partner showcase" 2 weeks after.

>>712830871
You first bootlicker

>>712821743
Metroid Prime spear headed the golden age of metroid and dominated during it (2002-2009).

I will never understand the 2D purist morons in this fanbase

>>712834738
October is pokemon, assuming it doesn't get delayed it's September or November (December's likely Kirby air riders)

They still haven't sold me on the psychic powers as a solid gimmick.

>>712834978
I forgot Pokemon was then. November then, since we know that Zelda Musou release in "Winter".

>>712835154
The zelda thing is likely January or February. It sucks that this shitty app has to exist now, we could have gotten another general direct but they just announced a DK exclusive one

>>712825242
Nintendo keeps making them so....

>>712835430
We could wake up tomorrow and Nintendo just decides to shadow drop Metroid Prime 2&3 on the Switch via a announcement on the app.

>>712835430
I doubt they would have put out a general direct even if they didn't have the Nintendo Today app. They just generally have a distaste for directs, as everyone copied them and now they don't have the market cornered. They already confirmed that Zelda Musou would be in 2025 anyway.

>>712835617
I don't think so, we're going to get another zelda situation where TP/WW hd are pushed back to fill some kind of hole. Doesn't make sense to release 2/3 so soon before 4

>>712830259
Was it really a loss?

>>712821743
kill yourself dobson
you lost

>>712835751
Prime 4 will most likely be the November game after pokemon.

I'm glad Prime 4 is on the Switch 1. I really can't justify a Switch 2 purchase, there's NOTHING to justify it.

>>712835898
Prime 4 in 4k will be enough for me.

Also playing DK next month.

>>712836076
>not even native 4k but dlss
Lmao enjoy your input lag retard
>>712835617
You'll get prime 1 & 2 on the emulator & like it lol

>>712835898
Unfortunately for me, I see the state of Prime 4 on Switch 1 and that is all the justification I need. I'm not going to buy one now and hopefully I can just get someone's used one that changed their mind or something. I just can't imagine playing it in sub 720p 30fps, when I could be going 120fps and mouse controls.
>But but, Switch 1 emulation
It just isn't the same and mouse controls would be a ways off for the Switch 1 version

>>712836337
>it just isn't the same
Primehack made it so I can never go back to playing the series on console. Even Prime Remastered is primitive in comparison.

I hope its a november release that way I can justify getting it and a switch 2 for my birthday

>>712833895
Where did this come from? That was my first reply to you. Sorry you were offended by the question.

*two roadblocks

>>712836504
Primehack adds very little to prime, precise aiming is demphasized in these games, it just makes it easier to play on PC without the fucked up control\ modifying of prime trilogy with the wiimote.

Controller is better due to morph ball analog control.

>>712837071
I still prefer KBM for morph ball.

>>712836845
idk e33 seems like a shoe-in for goty and I don't expect prime 4 to win it. e33 just seems like it hits all the right buttons to win over the majority of the crowd.

>>712837173
Well you can prefer what you want, 360 degree movement is objectively better than 8 way for third person segments

>>712827749
Good luck emulating it with emulators that haven't been receiving updates for months.

>>712837289
And KBM still feels better because it's more solidly built than console controllers. More freedom and customization.

>>712838134
>playing worst versions of multiplats on nintendo systems

>we delayed the console so there would be more software
???Did you???

>>712836845
>closer to MP4 release
Are we though? They say it's on track for this year, but we're halfway through it now and the only thing they're doing right now is a DK Direct. I'm hoping to God that since it's only 15 minutes, they do a regular Direct next week where it doesn't take up time (it's happened before with Mario Wonder), now they also have that app where they can just reveal stuff whenever they want, like with Splatoon Raiders, so I honestly wouldn't be surprised that if a general Direct doesn't happen next week, Prime 4 does get delayed to next year

>>712840098
prime 4 getting delayed out of 2025 would be weird as shit considering they used it to demo the switch 2 in public events

>>712842306
Weird, yes, but this is Nintendo. They thrive on weird

>>712842420
Nintendo also rarely delays games anymore outside the Covid period

>>712822662
>first person
We could have had a decent series of 3D Metroids where Samus was a hyperagile space warrior instead of a slow and clunky SPARTAN-II. None of the Prime games are good btw.

>>712842595
You already had that with other M and it was shit. The prime games understand what makes metroid good (aside from 3's intro), sakamoto forgot after super

>>712842581
True, but I just can't help but have that nagging feeling that since it's the only game I give a shit about anymore, Nintendo or otherwise, it figures that they're staying so mum about it release date-wise

>>712842883
personally I think they're trying to decide whether to charge 70 or 80 bucks for it

>>712842737
That's because the level design was dogshit and they shoved the retarded story telling in.

Why are they STILL sitting on Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remastered?

>>712842306
I would accuse them of a conspiracy to stall enough time to pull Switch 1 support if it carries over into 2026.

>>712842967
I'm kinda hoping that since it's Metroid, a series that they don't hold in nearly the same regard as Mario or Zelda, it could be 60-70 for Switch 1 and 2 respectively, but at the same time, I can't help but feel that the performance boosts and mouse controls on the Switch 2 version would give them enough reason to bump that up to 80, and the Switch 1 version would be 70 as result

>>712836845
E33 is absolutely gonna win. I haven’t even played it yet but I’ve heard so many people say it’s legitimately the greatest video game ever made, and the fact that it comes from a new studio is gonna give it an extra boost on top of that. Metroid games are good but they aren’t best game of all time good.

>>712843130
They did announce Rhythem Heaven and Tomodachi Life for that year back in March, so your conspiracy is not unfounded

>>712843101
They're waiting to announce them for a Metroid Direct. They'll announced Metroid Prime 2 and 3 remastered which will come out "today!" on Switch 2 (Switch 1 is debatable) and then they'll announced Prime 4 coming in October.

>>712843441
>Metroid Direct
God I wish, but that DK Direct is making me a lot more doubtful of that. At the very least, it could get a meaty portion at a general Direct where they could announce all that

>>712843091
>That's because the level design was dogshit
ding ding ding, you just got why the 2D games have sucked compared to super since fusion

>>712821347 (OP)
There'll be a direct next week, trust the plan!
>>712836845
You're probably joshing right now, but really the best I can see Metroid get is a nom for best action/adventure title, like what Dread got.
>>712843101
>sitting on Metroid Prime 2 and 3 Remastered
Are they?

>>712843852
>There'll be a direct next week, trust the plan!
God I hope so. DK's making it really hard to though

>>712842967
$60 for switch 1, $70 for Switch 2 sounds right. DK is $70, I think they made Mario Kart $80 for other reasons

>>712843852
Yeah there no way they aren't shadow dropping the other two entrys after prime remastered did fantastic m8

>>712844091
General directs like a week after single game directs have happened in the past, and theres usually a general direct in june so I still expect one

>>712844160
Yeah because it was 40 bucks. They aren't doing that again. They didn't do it for thousand year door, they aren't doing it for those 2.

>>712844323
Yeah, I remember that's what happened in 2023: We got a Mario Wonder Direct near its release (that was also only 15 minutes), and then not too long after we got a general Direct where it was barely there because it got its own show. I just don't know if lightning will strike twice here though, even if they still need to talk about games like Kirby Air Riders and that wheelchair game alongside Prime 4

>>712843852
>Are they
I mean, yeah? It's a no brainer to drop the remasters before MP4 is out. Literally free money

>>712843101
>>712843852
They haven't done the Prime 2/3 remasters yet
Retro was tasked with the trilogy but only got at as far as finishing the first game before they were thrown onto Prime 4 after Nintendo didn't like the original project scope

>>712844684
I dunno, I'm in the boat that thinks they only remastered Prime 1 so that the new hires at Retro could know how to make a Metroid Prime game, and if they announced remasters of the other 2, especially now, that would definitely delay 4, and with how long it's been since they announced it, I'm sure at least some people at the company just want to put the game out already

>>712844726
They could have another studio do them like Grezzo with OOT3D and MM3D. It's just a remaster

>>712844516
TTYD was a full on remake

>>712844684
I disagree, it'll oversaturate the launch period with metroid. It's better to release them after 4 at this point

>>712844948
That's an option on the table but for some reason Nintendo doesn't want to do it
Odd since if they had gotten a third party company to do them they probably would've been out last year

>>712845187
That isnt justification for that price especially with all the problems it had you dumb fucking bootlicker. I bet you think brilliant diamond and shing pearl were worth 60 dollars for being full remakes too

>>712845273
>it'll oversaturate the launch period with metroid.
?????
Who cares

>>712845273
>it'll oversaturate the launch period with metroid

>>712845827
>>712846043
casuals will only buy 1, ignore the other, then forget they exist

>>712843101
Retro just barely finished prime remastered with the help of iron galaxy before being put in charge of prime 4, the least we can expect is a hd port of 2 and 3.

>>712843441
>Prime 4 coming in October
not a chance pokemon legends release in october, september is a free month so my bet is going there.

Genuinely curious what’s the appeal of playing this over something like Doom TDA? Combat looks quite clunky and dated.

>>712846258
Again, who cares?

>>712846452
If you go to prime expecting your typical fps then you are gonna be dissapointed, the game is literally metroid but in 3d.

>>712846452
Because doom (new doom) is over complicated slop and Metroid prime is focused on chill exploration and atmosphere

>>712846570
you should, given that metroid needs extra support in general

>>712846414
They were put in charge before prime R was finished, they were developing both at the same time

>>712846452
It's a metroidvania, not an FPS

>>712846842
>>712846957
I don’t get it though, other FPS games have lots of exploration as well. And there’s nothing over complicated about Doom.

>>712847319
>other FPS games have lots of exploration as well.
hardly any FPS has the exploration focus of Prime, and certainly not the metroidvania aspect. Your arsenal in prime isn't limited to just weapons either

>>712846957
>Metroid prime is focused on chill exploration and atmosphere
Considering how everyone still cries about Starfield, that's actually going to be a problem. Get ready for everyone to call the game slow and boring (although Prime games are famous for cleanly hiding their loading screens behind doors so it won't have that issue).

>>712847537
>Starfield shill
kys

>>712847537
starfield doesn't have actual exploration or level design, it's empty nonsense

>>712847131
nigga they had like 4 years between MP1 and now. Blame Nintendo if anything

>>712846452
They have very little in common

>>712847537
Starfield is just the typical Bethesda jank but without handcrafted locations or fun quests like the dark brotherhood.

>>712847537
prime games even if they're not as mechanically rich as the sidescrolling metroid are still vastly more interesting to play than bethesda sludge

if they added the speedbooster to prime 4, doubly so

>>712846452
Prime is an adventure game like earlier 3D Zeldas but with Metroid's world design from a first person perspective, not a pure shooter.

>>712830259
I don't like how he has human proportions now

>>712847537
Starfield is a Bethesda "RPG". Metroid Prime is a First Person Adventure game. They're not the same. Bold of you to even insinuate that you enjoy garbage like Starfield.

>>712843318
Look at the retard championing for a game he hasn't even played.
This is why i hate you E33 faggots.

>>712847537
>Starfield
Again, completely different kind of game with its own problems.

>>712847319
I like doom, but prime is good for almost exactly opposite reasons. Just because they're both FPSes doesnt mean they play the same way.
Its like comparing doom to an imsim like deus ex or system shock 2.
Sure you could look at the relative speed and see how in imsims you have to fiddle around in menus more. Theres what you describe as " clunkiness." But thats an abstract term that people can't even describe well. You could say "doom is better because faster game = better game" But I don't want my imsims to be fast like boomer shooters. I WANT them to be slow. Because that leads to more methodical combat. You manage your resources more, you map out areas, look for anything any way you can progress.
I mentioned imsims because they're probably the closest thing to prime games, but even that connection is minor. Nothing on the market plays like prime.

>>712848084
>even if they're not as mechanically rich as the sidescrolling metroid
I disagree with this statement, there are more mechanics with prime than the sidescrollers. Dread is the closest in terms of having as many mechanics

>>712846452
I went into prime completely blind expecting call of duty with different lazer cannons instead I got a relaxing nature walk through jungle,snow & a neat lava factory filled with space pirates

>>712847537
>Starfield
Get out. Fuck you.

>>712848270
I mean I don’t know how I’ll feel about the game personally, especially since I find parry mechanics kinda boring and think that video game stories are generally overrated, but it’s clear that the reception to the game has been like nothing else.

why doesn't metroid prime play like titanfall or other source games and give you movement options like the 2d games do

>>712848270
I didn't play it either, but you're out of your mind if you think all the award outlets will choose Prime 4 over it, assuming Prime 4 even comes out this year, at least

>>712821743
third person when you're in morph ball

>>712848669
>or other source games
haha yeah epic, I love slop and every game should play the same

>>712843318
Uh the prime trilogy's average ratings are above E33, Prime 1 in particular is consistently in top 10s of all time

>>712848270
You're needlessly hostile for no reason. E33 is more than likely going to win because it has the widest appeal whilst having the most critical acclaim. One doesn't need to play the game themselves to see this.
I would love to see prime 4 win GOTY because it would be funny and I could be smug and shitpost about my favorite series being one of the GOAT. However ultimately the GOTY title is mostly irrelevant

>>712848669
Because they're console only games and the control methods avaliable to them would have been poorly suited for a focus on fast combat.

>>712848669
Because the prime team understands what makes metroid good at its core and it's not flashy, wacky movement

Other M tried to focus on action, speed, and movement in the context of a metroidvania and it was awful

>>712821347 (OP)
It's really weird that they haven't done more than commit to a 2025 release. They've said that much but we're halfway through the year and they won't get more specific? Smells weird.

>>712849050
How do you know Prime 4 won't be rated above it? Prime R is

>>712849109
>Other M tried to focus on action, speed, and movement
other m movement is unironically the worst in the entire series

even if you ignore the fact it's a 3D game played with a dpad in big 2010 you just have to watch a speedrun to see how miserable the movement options are, the fastest way to do anything is basically use the morphball and roll around

>>712848669
becuase GameCube couldn't process that speed

>>712847537
Anyone taking up for Starfield needs to seek mental help. Even if they were the same kind of game, Starfield is trash.

>>712848669
Because le wacky cool hyper speed shonen shit doesn't belong

>>712849210
If we don't get a general Direct next week after DK this week, I'm gonna be a lot more doubtful Prime 4's gonna hit this year. And I'm already pretty doubtful now since we're halfway through it and still noting more than just the year. Really starting to wish we got a release date back in March

>>712849291
regardless, metroid's juggernaut games are super and prime, neither of which have extensive movement options. Rather, they have great level design, exploration, and a fun arsenal to play around with

>Everyone jumping on the Starfield and Titanfall anons
Goodness.

>>712849291
I'd maybe argue it's better than Hunters' single player campaign. Let's be honest though, people played that one for the multiplayer.

>>712849516
>neither of which have extensive movement options
bro

super still mogs 90% of all games released today with its movement mechanics

>>712821347 (OP)
why is it called metroid prime if samus is older than ever?

>>712849701
Super Metroid has basic movement compared to modern metroidvanias like Hollow Knight and Ori

>>712849559
Metroid Prime's primary fanbase are cranky white men in their 30's, uneducated zoomies are not tolerated

>>712849865
that's titanfall's primary demo too though

>>712849810
no

you have no idea what you're talking about

>>712849701
I really can't agree, even in the context of other metroidvanias. Super is at its base very floaty and clunky, not unlike the prime games. There are select rooms dedicated to the speedbooster, similar to the boos ball in prime, but otherwise the movement isn't notable in super, nor does it have to be

>>712849865
Zoomers hate Starfield though.

>>712849079
but I played titanfall 2 just fine on a ps4 controller? i literally learned to airstrafe on a controller in that game
with new controllers having gyro and the fucking switch 2 having mouse support it would be trival to design a game where you go fast and aim
I rocket jump better in tf2 on a controller with flick stick or trackpads on a steam deck+ gyro than i do on a mouse and keyboard

>>712849219
I don't know
Its just what I said, E33 seemingly has the best balance between mass appeal and high acclaim. Individual scores from some IGN reviewer or whoever isn't really a factor in which game wins GOTY vote

>>712849385
but dread is by far the most fun 2d metroid??

>>712850053
Okay, can you do that on a gamecube controller? No? Okay point stands.

>>712850097
Super and ZM are more fun because they have actual exploration instead of constantly boxing you in. Nevermind the terrible emmi segments

>>712850097
Maybe if Mercury Steam had better map designers.

>>712850085
nta but E33 is definitely GOTY as of right now. what's going to beat it? unity? hundred line? it's a sure thing

>>712822468
Blaming Miyamoto for Prime isn't exactly the insult you think it is.

>>712849559
>>712849865
>>712849924
metroid prime is literally my favorite game of all time and I'M the titanfall poster
the most fun I had in super metroid was fucking around with the shinespark
there is literally no reason prime couldn't be designed with more fun and engaging gameplay now that it's tied to system with a real controller
Nintendo are literally the ones who pushed gyro controls themselves and now they're pushing mouse joycons

>>712850148
metroid prime 4 is releasing for the nintendo switch 2
even the fucking switch 2 gamecube controller has a gyroscope in it
there's literally nothing in that webm you couldn't do on a GameCube controller

With better tech they could probably implement faster movement and with how potentially big the world is possibly going to be (mass overview of the jungle, wide desert in box art) I could see them implementing some kind of way to move faster.

>>712849940
it doesn't matter how super "feels", objectively it has a lot of depth and variety in terms of movement options, the wall jump alone is far deeper than any equivalent in modern games

there's a reason why it's still one of the most popular speedrun games 30 years later, like mario 64 it's one of these landmark titles that'll never be surpassed

>>712830259
I don't know why that hack Tanabe is so obsessed with Sylux. Then agian I don't know why he was let near Metroid again after Federation Force.
I hope he doesn't fuck this up.

>>712850259
I'm the Starfield anon. I was just trying to say current demographics might try to unfairly call Metroid Prime 4 too slow and boring because they don't get it. Or that they were expecting it to be a bit more on the action side when that's not what Prime games were ever supposed to be about. I can already tell they're going to hound on the psychic powers being a "pace breaker".

>>712850392
I'm pretty much 100% sure the speedbooster is back

as you said the environments are bigger, they're not hamstrung by potato hardware anymore (yes yes I know it's a switch 1 game but still, it's much better than gc/wii) and both the level design and samus new animation outside of morph ball makes me think the speedbooster is definitively in

>>712850210
This anon has good taste. Also, I hate aiming with the stick in a 2D Metroid. The gba controls just feel so much better.

>>712835430
>just announced a DK exclusive one
Fuck. I hope they at least announce new costumes for Pauline in World. Its about the only thing that would interest me they could announce their.

>>712849995
Pretty sure everyone hates Starfield.

>>712836845
Doubt Dorito Pope will ever give a Nintendo title GOTY again without Reggie giving him reach arounds.

>>712850394
> wall jump alone is far deeper than any equivalent in modern games
I don't see how it's any deeper than, say, the walljump of hollow knight

>there's a reason why it's still one of the most popular speedrun games 30 years later,
The same could be said about prime, Prime was so popular SDA had to completely change its ruleset to accommodate for it. That said, prime is significantly more challenging to speed run at a top level and doesn't get as much nowdays because of how hyperoptimized it's become

>>712850665
My current copium is that they're doing DK now so that it doesn't take up time in a general Direct next week. The fact htat this one is gonna be so short is certainly helping with that; this has happened before with Mario Wonder. But that's my only bit of copium left, and if they wait until September to do a general, I feel that'll be it for Prime 4's chances of making it this year

>>712850653
Dread should have had full 360 aiming instead of wasting a button in it. SR had the excuse of the base 3DS not having a second analog, there's none of that here with the switch

>>712850895
geoff doesn't decide which games get nominated. He doesn't even have a vote

>>712850789
That's the Shattered Space DLC. Regular Starfield is Mixed.

>>712850097
Maybe if you're a faggot or underage
>Speedrunning
Oh my bad, you're a troon

>>712850420
Federation Force wasn't even bad you just hate it because "le....SHEEP"

>>712851418
I think sucking Tanabe's cock has given you brain damage anon.

>>712850420
federation force wasn't nearly as offensive as other M and they gave that nigga another game

>>712851418
>>712851807
Its main problem was that it was just came out at the wrong time. It was definitely NOT the thing we wanted to see after how disastrous Other M was

>>712851418
>Federation Force

Wait wasn't that the one that released on the tail end of the 3DS?

That games multiplayer was awesome

Only good thing about Federation Force was watching that brown Treehouse dude nearly say the gamer word during a livestream because all his team mates were jobbing.

>>712821347 (OP)
Im gonna be very pleased. No nintendo spoon fed spoilers of the entire game thanks.

>>712852932
Oh I don't want spoilers either, I just want to know if the game's even coming ou this year at this point

Pokemon has October so I figure the big bombshell trailer with the release date is in the September direct and dropping in November. Considering the Switch 2 has mouse support, modern Ethernet support (Switch 1 capped at CAT5 speed), and Slyux is back, I'm wondering if they'll drop Hunters 2 as multiplayer. Would explain all the AAA FPS devs they hired.

>>712850420
I don't mind the Federation being involved if it's like Prime 3 where they help but ultimately have to rely on Samus.

>>712829173
Maybe this is just a me thing, but the combat was one of my least favorite things from Prime 1 when I was replaying it. I think it might've been because I was playing on hard.
>>712830902
Speedbooster

>>712855512
>Speedbooster
Would probably be limited to speed panel obstacle courses.

Since Prime 2 and 3 HD aren't real, I hope the Trilogy comes to Wii NSO at least since I assume the mouse functionality will let the Joy-Con 2's emulate the Wii-Mote/Nun-chuck.

>>712856519
That's assuming they even do a Wii app

>>712856519
>fake

Who said that anon?

>>712822468
>Blame Miyamoto for one of the highest rated games of all time
Do I have to?
