And Retro's been quiet for a while now, so I wouldn't be surprised if this has been knocking for a year or so. Still probably looking at a late-2018 release, though.

Is Prime 4 going to (hopefully) be the first Prime game that can be played with dual analog sticks on a controller?

4 will come out between Shenmue 3 and FFVIIRM

One of these is by a publisher that announces games before their release 12 months later at most.

One of these is a Kickstarter game that just got delayed an entire year.

One of these is episodic and in a series where the last mainline game took over 10 years from announcement to release.

Will leave it up to you which is more likely to come out on-time.

Retro Studios helped usher Metroid into the third dimension with the Metroid Prime series, but they aren’t working on Metroid Prime 4.

Nintendo wouldn’t say who exactly is working on this new first-person adventure, but senior product marketing manager of Nintendo of America Bill Trinen said that Nintendo designer and producer Kensuke Tanabe is helping lead the project alongside a “A talent new development team.” Tanabe previously worked as a producers on the first three Prime games as well as newer releases like Paper Mario: Color Splash and Donkey Kong Country Returns, so hopefully Metroid Prime 4 is in good hands

Quote
  • Samus now has free-aiming; you can point her arm cannon with a full 360-degree range of motion.
  • Samus has a Melee Counter: Right before an enemy charging at you hits your body, you can press X to knock them away and score a counter hit.
  • “Aeion abilities” are a new feature not in the original, giving Samus different abilities that are not suit upgrades. They’re limited abilities that rely on an energy gauge. One, called “Scan Pulse,” lets you display more of the game’s mini-map in a small area around you, showing you where hidden pathways and items are.
  • Like the original Game Boy game, you’re hunting down Metroids right from the get-go, and you have a Metroid detector to let you know they’re nearby.
  • You can use “map pins” to remind yourself to visit a location later once you have a new ability.
  • Metroid fights use the Melee Counter, too; the Alpha Metroid Samus goes up against has a highly-telegraphed charge slam that you can counter, to open him up for a damage opportunity.
  • The game’s soundtrack is being composed by two of the composers from the SNES game Super Metroid.
  • You can load up a menu seemingly at any time and return yourself to the “Last Checkpoint” or the “Last Save.”
  • The game does have 3D effects. (Hey, these days with 3DS games that’s not exactly a given...)
  • Going by the menu screen, it would seem as if there are 40 total Metroids (of different evolutions) scattered about the game for you to take down.
  • Samus acquires the Spring Ball not by finding a statue, but by defeating an evolved Metroid.
  • You can bomb-jump. (Respect to the Treehouse lady who did a bomb jump live on stream.)
  • Samus Returns has “Teleport Stations” that let you fast travel between areas. Convenient!
  • The Varia Suit is in the game, which helps you survive in “extreme heat.” You don’t even need authorization to put it on!
  • You lose your Aeion Gauge when you get hit by enemies, too, so you have an extra incentive to fight enemies rather than just run through them taking damage.
  • There are “audio cues” that let you know when to melee the Metroids, one of the Treehouse streamers says.
  • You can use the grapple beam to rip enemies off the wall.
  • We really feel that the potential for the 2D Metroid franchise has really opened up for us,” Sakamoto says.
  • The game will have a special edition with a reversible cover and a soundtrack with 25 tracks called “Samus Archives,” with tracks from many games including Samus Returns.
  • There will be two new Amiibos for the game: Samus in her pose from the Metroid II cover, and (finally!) a Metroid Amiibo.

Seems like they're jazzing it up with Other M combat, which was probably the least offensive part of that game. :idont

One of the biggest problems I had with Metroid 2 [granted, I haven't played it probably 20+ years] was how it was so, so easy to get completely lost and have no idea where you supposed to go next.

Also, if that fact sheet is anything to go by, it sounds like they're going more for Metroid Prime 1 than Metroid Prime 3 [or they could be referring to those DS games], which I'm fine with.

I didn't expect them to actually announce Prime 4, legit shocked at that.

It's also really shocking to me that they're doing a very similar thing to what they did in the Gamecube era. Release a console Prime game and a hand-held title in close proximity. I think it's a much better time for the series, enough time has passed and people really want it.

I said to myself I would buy a Switch if they announced a fucking Prime game. Now I just need to find one.

Mercury Steam working on this is pretty great tbh. At the very least a much better choice than Next Level Games who are a little too keen on forcing their own disjointed vision on a game.

More to the point, Mercury Steam is a highly competent developer with a solid programming team. Their co-director Jose Luis Márquez was originally a badass programmer.

Nintendo, specifically Yoshio Sakamoto, is in charge of gameplay and vision so any concerns are shortsighted.

Back to the game. If I think any part of the gameplay itself is worrying, it's the melee counter. It changes things about the formula that I'm not sure I want.

At the end of the day, if this doesn't turn out well, there's always AM2R or Bloodstained.

I'm not sure why any of you think Sakamoto being in charge of gameplay would ease anybody's concerns.

Sakamoto's always been very solid with gameplay (weird FPS mode in Other M notwithstanding), it's the story where he started to lose the plot - and which thankfully is already pretty set in stone by virtue of this being a remake.

I dunno, I was watching the stream and thinking "this looks pretty cool for a Metroid game" and then I come on the Bore and everyone's Chicken Littling over the developer. Seemed discordant.

Hmm, would Bloodstained be a good substitute? Metroid II predates Metroidvania's start (SotN) that Bloodstained is mostly inspired by.

I can't imagine them doing much to it if they did. Jumping it from 240p to 1080p, upping it to 60fps, and maybe cleaning up the textures if we're lucky.

On the other hand I could easily see this hitting a 3DS VC on Switch, if that ever happens.

Other M's gameplay was completely unremarkable. Underneath the flashy action moves was an often wonky and always shallow play experience with amateur level design.

And let's not forget how it's all tied to a terrible control scheme. I really don't like this revisionist history of Other M being bad because of just narrative, that game was a disaster on all fronts.

That apparently Team Ninja advised against, but which Sakamoto was determined to stick to against all else. As if a NES pad was somehow key to the game being 2d.
