What the hell was going on with Retro after DKC Tropical Freeze? The momentum suddenly dies and we get some weird fisher price prototype game for girls and now they are scrambling to build their studio back up to handle a new Metroid. What got them to drop the ball so hard? They didn't start development for Metroid Prime 4 until 6 yeas ago so why couldn't they just put out one small game in-between the long ass wait?
>you will never work for a company 11 years doing nothingFuck
Project Harmony
they were just having a big gay orgy for about 8 years and nintendo said hey what's goin on so they had to fart out a game
>>729623854So you're just ignoring the metroid prime 1 remake? Ok moron.
You know how it is with western studios. Even with Nintendo at the helm it's a fucking shit show if you're not indie.
>>729623854They need a tardwrangler that isn't Tanabe, and no leeway to make an IP of their own, at least if Harmony is any indication.
They should just make Prime 2 remake
>>729623854They did Switch 1 versions of Tropical Freeze and Prime 1.
>>729623854Trying to scrape together what was left of Bamco's sloppy seconds.
>>729624490>and no leeway to make an IP of their ownActually if they threw Old Retro a bone and let them make one of their wish fulfillment games then maybe their top tier devs would have stayed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZBql2LtBlk
>Retro makes a new DK game because they want to>Primefags throw a fit as if DK was getting games left and right>nearly a decade later Prime 4 comes out>it's shitYou get what you deserve.
didn't they hire former 343i devs and a former writer for playstation? can't say I'm surprised it turned out the way it did
>>729624672Consider the time those games came out my underage friend. People were mad because Nintendo put Metroid on the backburner after their own fuck-up (Other M), not because DK got two good games.
>>729624091>Remake
>>729624658You make a good point. I'm not sure if any of the staff from Prime 1 remains, there are still some oldheads around from Prime 2 and 3 IIRC.
>>729624695What would those devs even do that could ruin the game? Seems like most of this is on the directors and writers.
>>729624672this.
>>729623854there is the tropical freeze port and the prime 1 remaster, there is stuff canceled but not 11 years without nothing.
>>729623854>weird fisher price prototype game for girlsWhat game is this referring to
I want to know how bad the Bandai attempt turned out if this was the rebooted atttempt
>>729626785Honestly Nintendo probably regrets not just taking what Bandai Namco had and dumping it out quickly in hindsight. Should have been a late 2020/early 2021 release and just moved on, then you can launch Dread in 2022 to save face
Furthermore, what was going on at Retro to where this was the outcome of SIX YEARS of development?Six years is Breath of the Wild-tier quality.I swear Westerners have become legitimately retarded after this whole Trump Tranny Covid Refugee shit first reared its head in 2012. I don’t think I’ve played a good western game in two whole decades. Maybe Tomb Raider, maybe Tomb Raider was good. Ironic.
>>729626615Project Harmony. The prototype got leaked like a year ago and it looked like a cheap toy game you would see pushed out on the Wii years.
>>729627295I think bloat and work culture shifting to avoid crunch time is causing this.
>>729624870People outright complained that Retro wasn't doing Prime 4 when Tropical Freeze was revealed, as if Other M being a fuck up was due to Retro or Donkey Kong. Blame Nintendo for not having a heavier hand with Other M's development and direction. Nintendo listened to the crybabies and announced 4 without anything to show for it until last year.Seven fucking years in the dark. Primefags better buy that game and keep their mouths shut. We'll never get a proper DKC game again, and I don't trust EPD with DKC, keyword. DK is one thing, DKC is another.
