probably prime 5 given how much money/assets were dumped into 4
prime 2 + 3 remakes
Metroid Prime 5
>>728961930DKCR 3
>>728961930pulling P4 under the rug and pretend they've forgotten, then P2 and P3 remakes
>>728961930hibernation for another 20 years
getting put down if there's any mercy in those cold world
>>728961930Liquidation hopefully
Can someone fucking leak what they were working on from 2014 to 2019 already, I want to know how much of a shitshow it was behind the scenes for 5 entire years to produce absolutely nothing
>>728964621that was already extensively leaked dumbass, not going to spoonfeed you
Hopefully HD ports of Prime 2 and 3 alongside a Switch 2 patch for Prime Remastered.
>>728961930Becoming a support studio, same fate as NST.
>>728964621you still don't know?
>>728967532but NST still releases their own games?
>>728966906I wouldn't mind a remake of hunters either
>>728967837Can they release anything on the level of Project HAMMER or did Nintendo drop the HAMMER on them too hard?
>>728961930Prime 2 + 3 Remastered next year and Prime 5 for late 2027/early 2028
>>728968207>prime 5 late 2027/early 2028lmao
>>728961930>4 ends on a stupid cliffhangerWhat do you think?
Hopefully no more Metroid money for shitty FPS trash
>>728967750Can't believe Nintendo greenlit a 4-5 year dev cycle for a little girl's game.
>>728971558they didn't, Retro spent the time making Demos so that Nintendo would fund them. but nintendo turned down all their demos
>>728961930Even if Prime 4 does poorly (it's still unclear whether or not it did) it's clear they dumped so much time and assets on it plus the egregious cliffhanger that the goal was to then move straight to 5.Prime 5 is going to happen, the question is if they learn anything from the controversy.
>>728962003And the fact they partially worked on Prime 5 while working on Prime 4, while setting up for a sequel, and only agreeing to do Prime 4 if they could do multiple games/achieve their ambitions for the games.
>>728973185>And the fact they partially worked on Prime 5 while working on Prime 4Ah, Prime 5 is gonna suck then huh.
>>728973282it depends on if the rumors of Tanabe getting "retired" after Prime 4 are true or notthere's a pretty big chance the squad and motorbike shit was all his idea and he kinda forced it into the game
prototyping weird stuff before pulled back into the phazon mines
>>728973405Tanabe's too young to be retiring when it comes to japan ages, even yamamoto who stopped actively composing for almost 2 decades came back to compose on prime 4. Tanabe's got at least a few games in him unless shinya takahashi's getting promoted and he's taking his place
>>728961930The trash can
>>728973405That's somewhat presumptuous.I just hope Prime 5 dev team has enough humility to accept some concepts were just bad and alter course from there.
>>728968970>>728972775There are plenty of games that end on cliffhangers that never got sequels, hell, there's a megaman legends game on the catalog right now.
>>728968048For all the FPS devs they hired, I figured they'd make Hunters 2 as a Prime 4 multiplayer mode.
>>728962003The Green Crystals are such a horrible mechanic that it feels as if they did it out of spite, almost as if they didn't want to take up the project but had to.
>>728973185>Prime 5 while working on Prime 4, while setting up for a sequel, and only agreeing to do Prime 4 if they could do multiple games/achieve their ambitions for the games.i want actual proof to this shit.I've yet to see any
>>728962003Seems logical.They wouldn't want to wait until the assets for 4 are out of date.A Galaxy 2/New Vegas-type 'expand-alone' sequel would be the economical choice.I mean Retro did that before with DKC Returns into Tropical Freeze
it wont be prime 5 but instead a spin off based around the soldiers and will probably be a third person co op game.
>>728974202Yamamoto is also a creative role with a lot of respect. He could very easily retire but tell Nintendo he's happy to return on contract for certain franchises.
There will never be another Metroid Prime.
>>728961930Echoes Remaster
>>728977852so Federation Force 2?
The company will once again go through restructuring. Many vets will lose their jobs.
>>728962003I haven't played 4 (nor do I plan to). Is there any sort of sequel bait like how 1 had Dark Samus?
>>728980210Good. Every single person involved with Prime 4 should be fucking jobless and homeless.
