Move aside Silksong, mommy is coming home soon

>switch 1 game that was delayed for like 10 years
Yeah this is gonna be ass. I'll buy it but it's gonna be ass

>>718817916
baka dread was delayed 20 years lmao shit was supposed to be a DS game

>>718817916
I wanna see what the game they cancelled was like

Beyond's original incarnation was so shitty they had to break the news in a direct that they restarted development

>>718817916
He says in comparison to silksong

>>718817974
The Dread then and the Dread we got are likely extremely different and the only commonality between the two is the name.

>>718817916
they were both announced in 2017 lol

Sex with balls

>I wanna see what the game they cancelled was like
Faggots fucks didn't even tell you who was making it.

>Beyond's original incarnation was so shitty they had to break the news in a direct that they restarted development
It was so great it gave them PTSD. They didn't want another one of their IP's made so well they couldn't top it in the future.

Wasn't it Bamco Singapore or some shit?

>>718818496
It's very likely the same thing is true of Prime 4

>>718817916
It was never delayed at all. The original project was scrapped and they put Retro in charge. By all accounts development at Retro went well and there weren't any major issues. It just takes a long time to make a AAA game from scratch, especially when you have to rebuild your studio

>>718818976
not really, tanabe was talking about sylux and time travel and shit a decade ago and as far as we know prime 4 was never in development/canceled before (current prime 4 was rebooted once)/. The only thing that survived in dread was the concept of samus being chased by an enemy, everything fusion/other M were building up to got tossed to the side (thank god) in favor of chozo stuff introduced in SR

>>718818862
See? You're not even sure. And what of this development team? What was their say on the matter or did they just get NDA'd into oblivion? You're not gonna tell me Namco didn't put out for Nintendo, that's a crock of shit and you know it.
They probably made her an actual bounty hunter, the concept was so foreign to Nintendo because their previous titles were hit classics such as Other M and Federation force. I bet Sakamoto took a look at it in the middle of Dread and shat bricks and begged Nintendo to cancel it because his apology for other M game made him run out of steam and he didn't want it to be overshadowed by a literal who Bamco studio.

>Move aside Silksong, halo 4 is coming soon

>>718817916
Its modern Nintendo, of course it will be shit

>>718817974
You can tell with how bad of a game it was.

>>718819036
And when you have to deal with a global pandemic that forces you to work from home for a little while

>>718817780 (OP)
This might be a bit silly, but what will be next for Metroid after Beyond? Is Mercury Steam just going to make 2D Metroid while Retro makes the Prime games? I kind of want to see a less predictable future.

>>718817984
No it wasn't anon.
The message was NOT in a direct.
It was just a sudden info drop one day on the switch news app/twitter.

>>718818862
anon don't reply to the starfx schizxo.
He is deep on the NDS hole.
Faggot will ruin every starfox and DK thread he can.
Ignore the inbred.

>>718817984
Metroid Prime 4, the first attempt, will be the next great gaming mythos people will try to uncover. The trick is finding the employees willing to talk.

>>718820493
Sakamoto basically soft-confirmed Metroid 6 when Dread was close to release, so we're definitely getting that at some point. I just hope he got the chaser gimmick fetish out of his system with the SA-X and the EMMI

>>718818548
Dread was in development hell since the mid 2000s.

>>718819036
>It was never delayed at all. The original project was scrapped and they put Retro in charge.
cool proof, this non existent., no demo, no info game. In fact it was never delayed because it never existed in the first place! It was all so simple, I just had to redescribe other descriptions!
By all accounts development at Retro went well and there weren't any major issues.
Of course there wasn't. Because Prime is literally all they've ever fucking done. It's more of a mystery to me why they didn't have them working on it in the first place.
>It just takes a long time to make a AAA game from scratch
It means nothing, you should see how long some companies spend to scrap a AAAA game from scratch.

>>718817780 (OP)
I'm not assuming this is gonna be shit, I just think it'll be 8/10 at best. How many people that even worked on the originals are working on this, 18 years after Prime 3? It's been over a decade since we even saw the last game by Retro. This doesn't even feel like a ship of theseus situation at this point it's so detached from the originals.

>>718821093
Dread literally died and became a fan meme. By Other M most fans clued in because most fans up and fucking left after Sakamoto knowingly put out Abomination M. Then it went on life support for over a decade where they had to simply keep the trademark going by making BLAST BALL until Sakamoto got the brilliant idea to take multiple fanfiction.net submissions and shove them all into one game along with the fangasm title.

>>718817916
What's fucking stupid is that it's still going to be on switch 1 when it finally comes out and the amount of videos comparing is going to make switch 2 look like a nothing burger in terms of graphics improvements. A console so bereft of launch titles that they have to keep it alive using previous gen titles.

>>718821593
Not to mention that what we saw back when they still insisted it was just a Switch game was running at 60fps just fine, no doubt thanks to them working on Prime Remastered to help them learn the Switch's hardware. So, what? It's pretty much just mouse controls that are the main selling point of the Switch 2 version?

>bisexual lighting
hard pass.

There hasn't been a good metroid game since Prime anyway so i'm used to not having metroid in my life anymore.

From what? A crystal ball?
