It's already in development.
>>730788832sweet, it will be restarted at least 5 times and release around 2040
>Prime 5ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
>>730788817Probably depends on how well Metroid 6 does. That said. They really could and probably should just make a brand new, non-Prime, non-OtherM 3D Metroid at this point though. 3D Metroid doesn't need to be Prime.
>>730788846Read the recent interview. 4 took long after the cancellation of the first version at Bamco because Retro Studios lacked the infrastructure to make it at the time so they had to spend a while hiring for all the necessary positions. Now they have everything in place.
>>730788817Other M 2 will be made instead
>>730788817time for a topdown metroid
>>730788992how did they make the other prime games without the infrastructure?
>>730789118They used to have it but no longer. Retro Studios always had a ton of staff turnover and many devs were burned out from working on the Prime series by the time they shipped Echoes. Some left then, others after Corruption. They hadn't made a first-person 3D game since then and needed to hire staff for it again, not to mention it being their first HD game in that style and generally being their first game in a decade to get off the ground and not ending up cancelled.By the way, the staff that left Retro post-Prime 2 and 3 mostly went on to form Armature Studio which was just shut down by Amazon. Maybe some of them could go back to Retro.
>>730788992>America-based studioNah, we're not getting Prime 5JP devs are way cheaper
>>730791274This is Nintendo. They didn't close or downsize Retro after they failed to deliver anything but a port and a remaster from 2014 to 2025 and they weren't even working as a significant support studio in the meantime. They're not going to waste all the work they did getting them back into shape now that they've finally put a new game out and if you've played Prime 4 you'll know it sequel baits way more heavily than all the previous ones.>JP devs are way cheaperAnd none of them is suitable to make a first person shooter. They don't even make 2D Metroid in Japan anymore.
>>730788817Hopefully not. I want metroid as a series to die. I cannot bear to see it ruined any more.
>>730791471>They don't even make 2D Metroid in Japan anymoreNo wonder it turned into generic QTEslop then. Japanese are the only ones who can do anything right.
>>730788817IM READY!!!! to take a quick nap
>>730791471>>730791603I see them making a Prime 5 using assets they made for 4, taking into account all the criticisms. They could actually do it right. It's obvious the game was unfinished even in the music department. A lot of the music sounds like half-baked rough music concepts that annoys me. Interesting ideas but lots of out-of-time stuff. Basically Nintendo rushed the game to market probably knowing they would make 5 no matter what just reusing the new assets (which look good as fuck and you forget how good it looks until you boot it up again).I have a suspicion Mercury steam will remake Super Metroid also as they've practiced with other titles.
>>730788817nintendo is such a pathetic company
>>730791993If MS remakes anything it’d be Fusion. That’s what they originally wanted to do before Sakamoto put them on SR
>>730792262Nahhhh..... Nobody wants a Fusion remake
