24 days until Metroid Prime 4 ruins your day on /v/ video games

do we know anything about it?

>>725459842
There will be metroids in it.

>>725459842
It's open-world garbage.

Gonna stay away until I play trough it.

>>725459632 (OP)
It's going to be a wet fart. It's not going to be bad in an interesting way, it's going to be disappointingly boring and uninteresting. Discourse will dry up in less than 3 weeks because even shitting on it will be boring.

>>725460272
No it isn't.

>>725460851
>OoT is open world

>>725459632 (OP)
24 days until we put the final nail in modern Nintendo's coffin.
Predicted metascore : 84 (in other words: boring shit)

>>725460667
Nintencope

The local bookstore killed my hype by selling out of the Visual Retrospective.

>>725460936
none of the marketing has ever called it an open world game. If it was they'd plaster it ALL OVER by now. It's not open world, it just has a large hub.

>>725460851
The game doesn't even need to come out for me to realize that looks objectively boring. What are you gonna do? Hold down a button and watch a motorcycle drive through a desert?

>>725460879
>GTA isn't open world

>>725461263
GTA is (GTA 3 onwards), OoT and Prime 4 are not.

>>725460902
Look I'm not OK with how pants on head retarded nintendo is with their IPs and how it's churning out garbage after garbage, but hinging on fucking Metroid to say that Nintendo is losing in any metric is criminal behavior.

>>725461326
Prime 4 is an empty open world filled with small dungeons. It's basically BotW with the shrines.

>>725461558
see >>725461025

>>725461558
I don't think zoomie knows what games with hub zones are.

>>725461761
Since when do hub zones look like that? They're always small and tightly packed.

so xci fucking when?

What if it’s good?
Will /v/ be upset…
Will /v/ have “Comfy Metroid Prime 4 Thread(s)”…
Or will they treat the game like BOTW where they just say it’s trash?

>>725461963
Since OoT

>>725462198
>Or will they treat the game like BOTW where they just say it’s trash?
This one, 100%

>>725462290
Hyrule Field is tiny.

>>725462198
it doesn't matter
eric will make sure /v/ is unusable for a week

>>725462372
Felt big at the time

>>725462382
/v/ is usable?

>>725459632 (OP)
yay
can't wait

>>725459632 (OP)
I'm hyped!

it is going to flop, less than 1.5 million total copies sold

>>725462547
over a million is not a flop by any metric

>Browsing /v/ when a new Nintendo game comes out
No thanks, modern /v/ is obsessed with shitting on whatever the new hot game is, extra bad if it's Nintendo

>>725462662
for a game that has been anticipated for almost 20 years now, yes it absolutely will be. Even I'm not interested in buying this game, I own all 3 metroid prime games and the metroid prime collection on the wii and yet I don't even want to play this.

>>725461354
>hinging on fucking Metroid to say that Nintendo is losing in any metric is criminal behavior.
I'm done being a good guy with Nintendo.

>>725463061
1.5mil would still make it the 2nd best selling metroid prime game, and the third best selling metroid game overall.

>>725462662
Usually this is not a flop for Metroid because they probably spend similar amounts to the other games they have made
This game cost $100 million. It needs to sell 5 million apparently to break even. That’s 2 million more than the best seller, Dread, at 3 million.
It surely is possible on paper, but the marketing and crappy trailers haven’t done it any favors. The hype from 2017-2019 and being on two consoles might be its only hope.

>>725463165
ok maybe I overestimated it then, I'll be surprised if this sells 1 million.
Just almost 20 years in development hell for this game, the budget has to be pretty high they need to sell a lot of copies to make up for what they have spent over the years. Then again there's next to no marketing or anything for this game and just a few trailers.

desu I would unironically be more excited for a sequel to metroid dread right now than this

>>725463247
>This game cost $100 million. It needs to sell 5 million
>source: my ass

>>725463292
It'll do a cool 3 million (both switch and switch 2 editions combined)

>>725463302
Granted my source has been full of hot shit before but people did the math and if you paid retro’s employees an average game dev salary in Texas for 6 years since 2019, the game would cost about 100 million, maybe it was like 94/96 million? And that doesn’t include the cost of Bandai-Namco’s work on the game.

>>725463061
>>725463247
kek, I love how you already prepare your copes before it even released.

>>725459632 (OP)
I dont like how the crosshairs look.

>>725463247
>This game cost $100 million
It could, but we don't know that it did and the source this claim comes from isn't especially reliable. His Bananza leaks were accurate, but his track record's otherwise spotty and he habitually words his claims as cryptically as possible before then blowing up about people "misinterpreting" it, presumably in part for engagement.

I think it will be fun

I'm avoiding the internet like a plague come next week to avoid spoilers.

>>725466327
>caring about spoilers in a Metroid game

>>725466509
I heard samus was revealed to be a girl.

>>725466509
Slyux has been cockteased for decades, sure they definitely changed his story since Hunters but I still want his reveal to happen normally.

>>725466327
Only movie lovers care about spoilers.

>>725462464
>that time was 27 years ago
god I hate zoomers

>>725463292
>I'll be surprised if this sells 1 million.
what fucking retard

>>725468189
>>that time was 27 years ago
>god I hate zoomers
?????

>>725466327
sylux is samus' mother

>>725468282
it doesn't matter if it felt big 27 years ago, fucking zoomer

>>725462290
Hyrule Field is the worst part of OOT.

>>725459632 (OP)
Beyond what?

>>725468729
zoomers were only just being born 27 years ago, they weren't playing it at the time.

>>725459842
There's a motorcycle and some psychic powers.

That's about it.

>>725459632 (OP)
I'll skim a no-commentary playthrough of this on youtube, form my own opinion then stop there.

>>725468298
Calling it now, Sylux is her pissed off brother or a pissed off clone.

What is known is that Sylux was the result of Federation experiments.

That was revealed in those Japanese magazine scans.

>>725471246
You joke, but that's what 50% of the userbase does on this board.

>>725471443
>You joke
I'm not, it'll only take a minute or so to find out if the game is ACTUALLY open-world or just open-area (a deceptively significant difference.) I can always emulate or whatever if it actually looks enticing enough to boot up for myself.
>50% of the userbase
I'm surprised the number of people who even know about the games they bullshit about on /v/ is THAT high. Seems more like 5% especially since almost all threads on this board are off-topic or the 10th thread of a single game comprised entirely of general-tier ritualposting

>>725472694
I have faith in Retro Studios because of their track record and Nintendo being watchful over them.

>>725471307
sylux is either sa-x, dark samus or an amalgam of both.

Metroid is a grill

>>725473090
You do that. I'm reserving judgement until I can actually see some gameplay.

>>725473201
Or the Federation managed to create an unstable Samus clone.

The Lamorn ayy lmaos in Prime 4 might even be connected. Like imagine what the other alien races were thinking when they saw what the Chozo accomplished with Samus.

Hell Raven Beak wanted to create a loyal army of Samus clones.

>>725473448
Hey me too buddy, apparently something is happening this Friday lots of journos have signed NDAs.

>>725459632 (OP)
looks like pure ass anyways. but since /v/ rides nintendo's cock it will be spammed here non stop

>>725474058
it looks good

>>725474252
Okay tendie

>>725474252
You said the same about Dread, and I found that game to be somewhat middling.

>>725474548
Sorry about your shit taste

>>725474678
>oh my Jeffre Cantu Ledesma, I heckin love actionslop

botw era nintendo is pure feces, not every game needs to be open world slop
also modern Retro has none of the people that made the original Prime games great

will I get to see samus in her zero suit? hopefully she has a very tight and plump ass

>>725474747
>posted it again award

>>725474678
i enjoy that you suffer over video games
