Metroid Prime 4 discussion

What do you wish from it in terms of gameplay or story ?

I hope it lets me explore an interesting and eerie planet without any handholding.

good graphics, ambiance and scanning Is largely my expectations when playing Prime games.

here's hoping they drop the prime shit altogether and start fresh with Metroid 5, i want an interesting lore and fauna and not another cliched plot filled with blue-glowing phazon shit and edgy "corruption" crap
i honestly don't know why the stubborness of doing yet another prime game, the plot is getting ridiculous at this point and doing Metroid 5 would at least give them a white canvas to work with
i'd love to see them putting some more emphasis on the suspense-horror aspect as well but it's not going to happen

Why are you so stupid?

provide an argument or fuck off you dumb kid

>No person nattering in your ear every 5 seconds telling you how to open a door or such
>Ability to drop multiple pings on the map and assign an icon to them like BoTW, make back tracking/finding next path easier if you can place a "bomb" symbol on a wall you can break later
>If you need to find 10 relics to open the final boss door, make it so you can acquire them throughout the game rather than "oh, you got the final suit, now you can get the 8 relics that were inaccessible beforehand"

Nintendo said it was cancelled

For it to actually come out

Gameplay
>more movement options, a bit faster, no auto-aim, make it so I can use KBM (or gyro as an option) make it really feel like Super Metroid, but in 3D
>no space pirates or Ridley. They're cool guys, but we need a break from them. Mario gets a break from Bowser, Link gets a break from Ganon, why can't Samus have a game without her nemesis?
>return of beam combinations, to incentivize mixing it up.
>obviously want 60 FPS
>new game plus, maybe with a built-in randomizer like AM2R had

Story
>kept in lore logs
>NO CUTSCENES
>Samus isn't allowed to talk, show feelings, or do anything of any kind besides be a video game character.
>absolutely no zero suit. infact, she's not allowed to leave her suit period

Child, you are an imbecile. They don't need to drop Prime to start fresh with Metroid 5. They are completely separate teams with, presumably, zero interaction, and Metroid 5 has already had its development hinted at. If you don't enjoy the Prime series then I can't objectively sway you - I can only subjectively comment on your shit taste - but don't try to shit talk one style of Metroid game because you're unobsevant and impatient in the wait for the other style, and don't call me a dumb kid when I'm a 43-year-old man who's way too fucking old for this shit.

>43 year old man raging on a kid's board
no, you are an animal and should be put down

I fucking want to be.

hopefully they add twin stick aiming and ADS. also hope Samus has that machine gun ability like Samus Returns. they should also put in levels and exp like igavania. the game should have no map and he structured like dark souls. if they do give you a map it should work like hollow Knight's where you need to fill it in. you should be able to Sprint again and use speed booster. I also hope Samus has an energy sword like from Halo 2. I think giving her the ability to hover like iron Man would be nice too. and you should be able to wall run and jump like in Titanfall.

does this sound good?

Sounds like obvious bait.

Yep. Nintendo will give keyboard and mouse support exclusively to Metroid Prime 4 on the Nintendo Switch.

do you honestly want another Prime 3?, i agree Prime 1 and 2 were great but cmon man, the series ran it's course
Prime 4 was not even Retro's idea, for all we know they are already doing something else entirely with their own vision, so it's either that or they are just doing the shit they are being told to do and i assure you it's not gonna be good
also there are rumours for another 2d style game but we don't know if it's going to be another remake or what, let me ask you this, do you honestly want Metroid 5 with the shitty Samus Returns aesthetic?
you are being realistic but i also love this series and really want it to take off

Gameplay
>more combat options like different weapon types, melee attacks, anything to make combat more interesting
>focus on new ideas and abilities instead of retreading the same old power ups and puzzles we've seen for decades
>big world puzzles, the kinda puzzles they attempted in Prime 2 and 3 but were never fully realized (like the ship visor & dark world)

Story
>focus on logs, environmental storytelling and just having interesting places to explore
>no more phazon shenanigans
>have Sylux being teased for 12 years finally pay off and have him be a fierce rival throughout the game

Good look making it run and look good on a weak console.

The possible saving grace is that Retro allegedly pitched themselves for Prime 4. That implies passion. And I liked Samus Returns.

>do you honestly want another Prime 3?
I'll take another prime 3 over another metroid 4 any day of the week

I just want it to be good, but I know it's not because Retro is searching for a fucking art director

>not another cliched plot
>when he wants a mainline metroid which just rips off alien, done many times before
idiot

>you are being realistic but i also love this series and really want it to take off
then you wouldn't ask for a 2D metroid over a prime game

You've never watched Alien. Metroid has only superficial similarities to it and its sequel that you'll find in many scifi stories.

As close as Prime 1 as possible

Be set after Super Metroid and involve Phazon returning/being found or some shit. Maybe just use an dead cache of Phazon cacooning/preserving Metroids. Samus in direct conflict with Federation and Space Pirate remnants

>no npc's like 3
>no more natural/ruined/non spaceship environments with random doors breaking up the rooms for technical reasons
>maybe one upgrade/block is a door that needs to be shot with something
>be more seamless and learn from Dark Souls
>map isn't a grid of similarly sized ~square-ish rooms and connecting hallways

I'd really like all of the movement options of the 2D games. Samus Returns had no Speed Booster, and I'm still mad about it. Ideally, the game would switch between first-person and third-person for platforming and shooting, respectively.
True Space Jump, Screw Attack, and Speed Booster. Yes, they're difficult to implement, but I'd like to see the devs at least try.
Yakuza/Serris theme remix.
More skittish Samus. Those bits in Prime 3 where a door shuts behind her and she gets startled and jumps? Cute as fuck without being overly... not Samus I guess.
If they're going to reuse the Prime Screw Attack, at least improve it. Give it infinite jumps and/or height gain, let it instakill enemies on contact, no bouncing off enemies or walls.
Kraid.

>superficial
the entire creation of metroids as well as the chozo are pulled from Alien. Samus herself is a lead similar to those of alien. Even SR continues to take from Alien with SR's lore panels paralleling those from prometheus/alien covenant. The only unique thing are the space pirates, who were generic video game baddies until the prime games flesh them out. I don't know how you can consider prime generic but not the 2D titles

>gameplay
-the biggest gameplay change would probably be moving away from a room based system with locked doors. I think doing this would mean 30fps instead of 60 though, so I'm kind of hesitant
-proper gyro controls for precise aiming, give me something like prime 3's X-ray visor on a larger scale
-interconnected world like 1/2, the environmental variety in prime 3 is nice but I don't think the trade off is worth it
-a hard mode that at least rivals that of prime 2 or the phazon mines section of prime 1
-key hunt is in but is completely optional

>story
-minimal cutscenes, maximum lore scans
-Sylux is a threat in battle, unlike ridley/dark samus/SA-X
-possible return of weveal
-whatever sylux does with the metroid is so fucked it's what leads the GF to commission the destruction of all metroids on SR-388

Speed booster is redundant with boost ball, and boost ball has more capabilities than speed booster

I want Samus to be retconned into being a robot.

Was okay until I got to your requests for the story....

>let it instakill enemies on contact
doesn't' it already do this, aside from the huge enemies

What's unreasonable about those requests?

Also, Prime 3 was excellent. The Aurora units got annoying, but that was minor. The world building was some of the best in the series.

>Open world metroid

Maybe? I mean, my favourite parts of the Prime games are the exploration and not the fighting. But I'm not sure if it can work.

Nahh, ideally breath of the wild should have been an open world metroid from the start.
Zelda and Metroid should both have the same progression, with Zelda being more open-ended

keep sucking on that phazon infused dick then asshat

it was cartoonish crap, didn't even feel like metroid
