You think Sakamoto retired last year? If so who is going to be his successor for the Metroid video game?
>Sakamoto gone>Tanabe goneMetroid just dies. The End.
>>736384374Why would he be retired? Also he wasn't involved in Beyond in any way like with all the other Prime games
>>736384374let's be honest, anyone could do a better job than those uncs
>>736384374They better deliver on an open world Metroid or I think I'm done with this franchise. It's 2026 and every other franchise has delivered by now. Metroid is the most fitting for it, and yet still hampered by obscene linearity.
>>736385147I hope they'll never listen to a retard like you
>>736385297Fuck off, tired of linear metroidvania slop.
>>736385464>I'm tired of a metroid game playing like a metroid game!Fuck off faggot play something else
>>736384374Liked Metroid Prime 1 but felt like Prime 2 was a step back. Does it get better in Prime 3?
>>736384374It's funny to me you think metroid isn't dead.
>>736385876As if I don't? Metroid has one more chance to redeem itself, if it's not open world I ain't touching this shit again.
>>736384884He's 66>>736384820Better to die than to continue down this route, though Tabata is going to keep prime going
>>736388038Ok then fuck off zoomer faggot not everything needs to be open world slop
>>736388126Ment for>>736386706Fuck
>>736388126>>736388192Fuck
>>736386706I'm inclined to agree, and it's wild to me no one sees how fit Metroid is to be open world. Ask any fan piece by piece what they want out of Metroid it will be like>do you want multiple planets to explore: Yes>do you want multiple orders to play the game in: Yes>do you want different abilities that open up new opportunities: Yesthen you would enjoy an open world game, it's that simple.
>>736388038He’s probably going to make one more Metroid game before he retires.
>>736388768If mercurysteam goes under that's it
>>736389249I thought Dread sold really well.
>>736388539The problem is that you won't open a red door and end up on another planet. To make it work, they should probably just make every planet accessible from the start, but most of them require breaking into some underground facility which requires a new upgrade.
>>736388539>>do you want multiple planets to explore: Yesnobody says this thoughthe only game to do that was prime 3 and fucking everyone hated that part of it
>>736384374>Tanabe immediately retired after this game hit shelves
>>736393403>The problem is that you won't open a red door and end up on another planet.What is the problem exactly? a door isn't going to lead to a whole other planet no>To make it work, they should probably just make every planet accessible from the startHow come? you could just as well reach a point on a planet where you get some inkling to go to another planet, and it's unlocked. Or even a teleporter is unlocked and allows interplanetary travel.
>>736393532>Nintendo when the guy who has been shitting on every small franchise he's given for 15+ years shits on a big must win AAA game
>>736393508>>>>nobody says this thoughI've heard it so many times. You realize Prime Hunters did this right? reasons to go back and forth to different planets.
>>736393581A Metroid game is built around getting a new ability used to open up a new area. Instead, the game saying "uhh you can go here now" and opening up a new place on a menu is not a compelling way for Samus to get there. I suggested making every planet accessible from the start because it prevents a new planet being made available specifically because the story says so.
>>736394181I suggested teleporters.
I don't really care if it's open world or a more traditional Metroid game, just make a good fucking game instead of whatever shit Prime 4 was. The whole map design and pacing made zero sense and I'm sure even a novice game director could tell that the game was ass.When you start naming the integral plot thing in your game>green energyyou know you delivered a bunch of shit
>>736394620That works fine too, I just assumed Samus would be getting in her spaceship to go to different planets rather than using a teleporter.
>>736384820>kill the series that semi-recently produced its most successful entry out of a 40-year history and was almost entirely outsourced anywayBecause that makes sense. We're getting Metroid 6. >>736385147When Nintendo themselves admit they come up with gameplay concepts then decide which series out of existing IPs would make a good fit for them, why the fuck would Metroid go open-world when modern Zelda exists? And if every other franchise is doing it, what do you gain as a consumer from yet ANOTHER game doing it, instead of just playing those?
>>736390896Their other two games bombed
>>736388539>do you want multiple planets to explore:As seperate campaigns, sure. As single self-contained sectors like Fusion and Prime 3, fuck no.
>>736393508Metroid P3C not only allowed you yo explore different planets, which would have been nice but it forced you to go back to the same places several times to do a single thing, there was too much backtracking and moving between places was sluggish.
>>736385147>They better deliver on an open world Metroid or I think I'm done with this franchise.Good. Be done with it. Go away and stay away forever. If that is what you actually want Metroid to be, then you simply do not and never did like Metroid.
