Let's be honest: Does Prime 4 even have a chance of living up to the Trilogy?

Of course not
You'll be lucky if it even compares to 3

Doubtful it'll live up to the first 2 but given that they started all over and handed it to retro I'm confident that it will still be a good game.

If they try to just make Metroid Prime but bigger it'll be fine, but knowing Nintendo they'll want some half baked tacked on gimmick that makes the game worse.

I can see it reaching or being better than 3. As for 1/2? I'm not holding my breath

Maybe. Nintendo restarted development because it wasn’t up to the series standard. Hopefully it’s at least better than corruption. That wasn’t a bad game, but it was a step in the wrong direction.

i mean 3 was good but not great, so the bar isn't that high.

If they continue down the path 3 went with the NPCs rather than the isolation feel that 1 and 2 had then it probably wont be as good.

>americans

isolation was one of the key features outlined in the 2017 E3 press note, so hopefully they won't

Should I try getting back into it?

Super Metroid is potentially the best game ever made. It's stupid how tightly designed it is, tied with those fantastic production values and unrivaled atmosphere. If it's not the best it has to be pretty good

Metroid Prime is far more flawed from a design perspective, but it's still full of tons of passion atmosphere that I can forgive how much more structured and rigid the game is overall. the music, atmosphere, they nailed every other aspect of it. Plus it's still gorgeous looking even today

It's been like 8 years, the standards are going to be low because no one remembers shit. Yas Forums is still gonna shit on it

The correct stance.
The fact that they cared about how it was turning out enough to scrap what was already done and bring in an entirely different studio means that it is unlikely that they will release a bad game. However, it is also unlikely that they will come out with another masterpiece like Metroid Prime. So Corruption, being the weakest entry in the trilogy, is the most reasonable one to use as a standard to hold the new game to.

Expect Corruption, hope for Prime.

It's hard to say, because we don't really know their angle yet. It could be another isolated, story-light game like Prime 1, a more setting-developed game like Prime 3, or something else entirely.

Would love more giant-sized bosses

I don't think I've ever seen a more universally loved boss. Even Mother Brain has some detractors for it's lack of challenge.

there's some legit criticism that he drops to much health but aside from that, he's a great capstone of the best area in 2

who considers MB a good boss fight? I mean quadraxis is too easy too, which is why I think Emperor Ing in the best

Emperor Ing has the unfortunate effortless second stage
Though he's my favorite as well

I mean it's just a transition phase so you can unload more of your arsenal

Why aren't they releasing the original trilogy on switch

sure but it didn't have to drop enough health and ammo to fill you up completely
just have that stage drop no health refills and it's okay

>tightly designed
>in reality full of glitches and exploits that can be found by people not even looking for them

You know you're American when you understand this ranking system.

I don't see how prime is any more structured than super

You can literally do all of the bosses in a backwards order in Super if you want. Prime you generally have to do things in the order the developers intended, it's much less freeform in that sense

>sequence breaking counts for super but not prime

Yeah, probably. The first one was experimental and limited, but so well-designed and carefully crafted that I'd consider it a home run. The second game was severely limited by Nintendo stifling Retro's creative vision and didn't live up to the first game, but the end result was still fun. The third game was the weakest but had enough character going for it. Honestly it would be surprising if they're trying this hard and can't even surpass the second and third Primes, I bet it will be at least be a better game than those. It would take a massively retarded and uncreative shift in direction to ruin it.

prime 2 improves on 1 more than it falters

None of that means anything with snes controls being so clunky

>Super re-releases leave sequence breaks alone.
>Prime re-releases patch out shit like getting the Space Jump and Plasma Beam early.

the original still exists. You can still get space jump early by the way, but not before morph bombs

I'm really, really enjoying this so far. Amazing stuff for a fan project.
Also played the official 3DS remake of Metroid II which I thought was also pretty fun, but AM2R is already winning me over.

I've never heard this. Do you have any examples?
Echoes is my favorite.
