Are they washed?
>>750213727Metroid Prime 1 was the best one , so yes Although DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze are pretty good Maybe Nintendo should give them other series aside from Metroid Prime, must be pretty boring work in the same shit for decades
I won't judge until their next game. Not having to rebuild the devleopment team as they went, to pick up another studio's failed leftovers and to follow Tanabe's ideas. Granted, they do need a good tard wrangler because they've shown they can't make anything without one.
>>750213727No, Prime 4 was hosed due to 2 separate reboots and an overworld area that the current retro devs couldn't get rid of and other sections had to be rushed due to the fact Nintendo just wanted to rip off the bandaid.The actual gameplay they controlled was very good, so I'm confident prime 5 wil be extremely high quality.
>>750215936Does anyone know if the Retro devs are the same ones as 20 years ago? I'm just curious.
>>750215995I went through the whole credits a while back and prime 4 had like a third of the guys left over from prime 3's time and you can cut that in half when comparing it to 1 and 2. The leftovers were mostly in the art, sound and gameplay engineering side (aka the parts that were the highest quality). They were mostly in directorial roles now while the previous team directors had retired or left in the years between 3 and 4. All the writers and quite a bit of the art team had left over the years hence they hired people from 343 for the art too on top of all the contract people they had. Oh and as far as I saw most of the people hired to actually work at retro for 4 are still there so retro isn't getting gutted yet (not that Nintendo is known to do that even in really bad cases)
>>750217671They've only hired more people since Prime 4. They almost certainly had Prime 5 or something else in development since before Prime 4's release.
>>750213727Prime 5 is coming for sure, trust the plan
>>750213727Maybe, prime 4 is their only bad game but harmony was shelved/canceled as well. Can't blame tanabe for that one since apparently sakamoto was producing it according to kiwi talkz
>>750215995Obviously not. No one ever works at the same company for 20+ years, unless they're the founder. You usually don't stay at a company for longer than 10-15 years
>>750213727Did you see what absolute shit Retro was making before Prime 4 got dropped on their lap? Clearly something is wrong there.
