I genuinely don’t understand the rant about the advisor because that’s exactly how it works in prime two and three lol Only the first game has the little red in orange boxes and even then after you scan them, they visibly change.
The changes with the scan visor were actually already implemented in Prime 2: There every scannable object was overlaid with a blue or red mesh if it was unscanned, and a green mesh when it was already scanned.
It was never gonna not be on Switch. This was blatantly obvious if you just did some digging. I don't think it's getting a separate Switch 2 version. I think the Switch version will just be playable on Switch 2 via backwards compatibility and maybe some minor improvements. It'd be cool if I was wrong about that but this is just what my gut feeling is.
@@knatkniht All the linkedin profiles of retro studios employees mention it as a switch game and Nintendo calling it a switch game in their financial reports
That wouldn't be too much of a far cry, because even with the WiiU's troubles, it was easily reverse compatible with Wii titles so a Switch 2 being reverse compatible with Switch 1 games would make logical sense.
@@madcorndog Well they did it with breath of the wild, a more profitable IP, why wouldn't they do the same for MP4? There's a HUGE install base on the switch, it would do great on the switch PLUS a bit more from the Switch 2, since most Nintendo fans will be owning.
Prime 2 and 3 had similar scanning to 4, only 1 has the symbols. in 2 and 3 scannable objects are highlighted completely blue for regular things (random debris or enemies ect) or red for important objects (lore or scan locks etc) then the objest turn green if they've already been scanned
Nintendo as done the "console launch game" also on older gen with 2 Zelda game in the past, and those Zelda where big, ambitious and great. No reason to fear for prime 4 just for that. It actually help the game to be available on one of the most owned console of all times (top 3). Have faith, everything else point towards a good release.
Nintendo did the exact same thing with Breath of the Wild and the Wii U. Soon enough they will announce the new Switch, and probably will bundle Metroid 4 with it. They know at least half of their customers will instabuy the next Metroid game. I don't see them losing this opportunity.
Metroid remaster and dread have sold a combined around 4-5 million copies. That's like 3% of the user base. Ya know just to temper expectations on Metroid Prime 4 sales numbers and it's ability to be a system seller. New Switch will almost certainly launch alongside a new Mario, Smash or Mario Kart
@@gamble777888 That's also expected. But I see a world where they bundle the new metroid 4 with the console. We've seen a few different bundles for every console at this point, they don't usually do just one bundle
Aside from the characters, the xenoblade games on switch all have pretty realistic visualls and lighting and are clearly more open than a prime game. They are all very long and loaded with prerendered scenes, large textures, and lengthy voiced dialogue. The storage will be fine, lmao.
At first, I was like "WTF are you talking about??? Oh wait. Mario, Zelda, Mariokart, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, Splatoon, Mario Party, Luigi's Mansion, Pokemon, Kirby.... yeah, ok." Hell, even Fire Emblem is selling better than Metroid.
@@nancyswift8090 Even consildating all the Mario Titles and not counting Smash, Metroid still only clock in at aroun 9 cause even Pikmin starting to do around the same as Fire Emblem. Facts are as legendary as Metroid is, it sadly isn’t accesible to bigger audiences but there’s nothing wrong with that cause not every game has to be for everyone
Don't worry about size, really don't worry about it. metal surfaces can be made look good with basically no real major investment in storage. As lighting does a lot of the work for them regarding shading and the like. I would be surprised if it's not to the scale of or larger then older tittles and only be 20 ish GB or so.
Additionally, younger gamers have been conditioned by the incredibly inefficient practices of modern game dev where where textures are unoptimised, stored uncompressed, and seemingly used without any consideration for efficient re-use. A developer that *does* consider these things, rather than rushing for the last 1% of graphical fidelity at all costs, can achieve quite a lot.
This was very well produced and entertaining to watch. As a huge Metroid fan all I can say is have faith. Nintendo must care about it because they hired an All-Star team.
I never really thought about her shoulders because they never seemed out of place. Probably because the pauldrons always looked more like they were on top of her arms then being positioned where her shoulders are meant to be. But I do see the improvement in their design
I wonder, how much do you think it really needs to sell? Because as of now, I get the impression it should at least sell better than previous Prime games. Like Prime 3 released on the Wii, a very successful console, yet it didn't sell as Prime 1, and even despite that Nintendo didn't forget about the series. Trust me when I tell you I also want to want this game to sell well, but what classifies as a "success" in this scenario seems like a weird thing to answer. It should at least sell as well, if not better than Dread.
It will definitely sell better than Dread because first person shooter style games are naturally more popular than side scrollers, and Prime 4 has really good graphics and you can't deny that good graphics draw people to buy your product.
Once I got to the end of the video I completely understood why you are fearing what might happen given Prime 4 Beyond being released on the switch in its last year or so. Hopefully, ya'll don't get the Star Fox treatment and then have your game series (or in this case sub-series) put on ice for the whole console gen.
Awesome video, because I agree that the graphics have more potential on a more powerful console. The comment section for the IGN MP4 reveal trailer was less forgiving of the look of the game. And I hated to see it cause I love Metroid, but they were right. I, as a metroid fan, feel like we are well overdue for a Metroid game with current gen graphics. Don't get me wrong, MP4 does look decent, but I own a Switch and a PS5, and my girl owns a PC. I see the constant differences in graphics between systems. Graphics aren't everything, but it'd be nice if for once, that's a big selling point for a Metroid game.
You might think that… but the graphics this Metroid prime game has is already good enough for me! I personally don’t want an ultra realistic graphics video game I never for a second of my life flipping care about graphics and if the graphics are good enough not too realistic and all that what is there to fix? and I personally think it looks good in-fact I prefer it this way I don’t even wish for better graphics if I get the new console just better vanilla space! Nintendo shouldn’t try to make its video games very realistic it should try to make them fun and try to conserve as much space as possible even on the new switch. I personally prefer art style over higher end graphics not everything has to look extra detailed.
BotW released on the WiiU and it didn’t spell disaster. Nintendo promised on 2017 that the game would release on Switch, and they are following through on that like they did with Zelda. Also, keep your expectations realistic when it comes to Nintendo and hardware specs. They’re not going to release games with a 30-50 GB install size because it’s a hybrid system. You can’t run an SSD that hot on a handheld device and expect any semblance of performance or battery life. Nintendo has hitched its wagon to this strategy a long time ago by prioritizing software design over hardware.
I would also like to point out modern games don't give two shits about their optimization; but I assume Nintendo does because of their lower specs and storage space. You can do a lot with less if you optimize it well.
Great editing and I like your style. I subscribed. I feel where you're coming with this and I was also concerned about the switch release. Due to the art style they went with, it definitely seems scalable though if they were to cross-gen the game. Also, MP3 felt short in comparison to 2&1 I wouldn't be happy with it, but if they expanded the game with an after story, I'd take that over nothing. I'm also a huge fan of the MP series, so I want to see it thrive. If MP4 ain't it, let's hope for MP5 I guess
Ngl like 5 seconds into the trailer I muttered "This is not on the switch" to myself and I still believe there is no way that footage was recorded on a switch
Well you're blind then because those were clearly Switch footage. If not then I'm really concerned about the Switch two cause you'd think textures would look a lot less muddy and the lighting a lot more dynamic and less baked.
I get your point, but I think it will do quite well. Retro Studios are masters of utilizing the hardware, so I think they'll crank out a very good game.
I get the worry but honestly? Trust the process! Keep in mind that Nintendo saved Prime 4 as the end of direct reveal, they usually do this with games considered a *massive* deal to them (Tears of the Kingdom used to always end directs). I think we'll see a situation where it comes out and sells better than expected!
I am not worried. I have faith in Retro. Look at tears of the kingdom on switch. Look at Metroid Dread and what it achieved. It wasn't the longest but about the length of a 2d metroid. If 4 can be around the same length or a little longer and has that isolated exploration feel people will buy it.
That rant at the end about the game coming to Switch was stupid. Prime 4 was announced for the Switch in 2017; I really don't get why people thought that wouldn't happen.
Dude, stop doom and glooming, 4 will be ok and everything we all hoped for. Whether it's on the switch or the new console or both, we're all going to enjoy the hell out of the game and you know it.
People keep saying "Mocktroid" but I honestly don't think these are Mochtroids. Why would Sylux take defects into a combat zone when he has perfectly healthy Metroids? These creatures look more like genetic hybrids, as they have traits of both Phazon and Dark Tallon Metroids.
TotK has like hundreds of hours worth of stuff in it and can fit into 16GB, metroid games are barely a fraction of that length so i genuinely don't understand the worry about the game being too limited. if the wii u can handle open world stuff like xenoblade x and BotW then prime 4 is gonna be fine lol
Holy nitpicking, Batman. I think you're underestimating the seriousness of what they've poured into reviving this IP. They were willing to restart instead of cancel and hire a smorgasbord of the best devs to work with Retro. Not only that, they resurrected DREAD.. a basically 20 yr old dead game that was only rumored. Nintendo knows their exclusive IPs are their bread and butter. Even if one of them takes a dip, they are very willing to revive and give new life to each one eventually. Breath easy. We just ended the Metroid drought. It's about to be a Metroid renaissance.
Development insight here. The scope of and core design of video games isn’t as defined as it has been in past generations to being only possible on specific hardware. Nowadays because x86 architecture is pretty much universal across the board. You can see this happening with the other platforms. Triple A 3rd party games still releasing across switch xbone ps4 ps4 pro xboneX and the series consoles. Both hardware and software for game development has become highly standardized in the modern era. Games are effectively just made and scaled to whatever device the devs want it on. Core game design concepts don’t change only visuals and frame rate. It’s as simple as will it run.
Retro has consistently given fantastic metroid games, meanwhile activision has crapped out a pachinka machine with a playable movie consistently for years now
with how good prime remaster looks and the fact that you can still see heavy stylization in the prime 4 trailer, I think you're gassing yourself up on the fear a bit
That rant at the end about the game coming to Switch was stupid. No matter how much you love Metroid, it's not a big enough franchise to launch a console. Had this been exclusive for the next Nintendo and been the big launch title, very few people would have bothered buying either the game or the device. Having this game available for the current switch is the best business move because it guarantees there are over 100 million different switches available for Prime 4 to be played on.
And I personally don’t care if the graphics are reduced a little either I mean people were playing prime 3 and 2 and there weren’t many complaints about graphics then at least not many until now, probably.
guy who titled a video around a subject shocked when viewers skip the 12 minutes of not-the-subject (EMOTIONAL) no hate tho i enjoyed the other 8 minutes :)
calm yourself. Prime 1-3 were developed with GCN/Wii hardware and the games were amazing. The switch is significantly more capable and we don’t need the switch 2 for prime 4. You’re worried about 4gb of ram? The GameCube had 43mb of ram and played Metroid prime perfectly.
I have only one franchise that I play. Monster Hunter mainline games and only the mainline games. I have only played world since launch and I will change it when wilds launches
I'd still buy the game, I still think Hunters was a mistake, and as for Retro Studios taking as long as they did, when you take into account much of the original development team left to form Armature Studio in 2008, that should paint a clear picture.
Huh I didn’t know that but bear with me here retro-studios was working on Metroid prime remastered cause it had to be started from scratch and retro-studios was working on it from then on.
The camera control looks like we going back to controller mode Point and shoot probably exists still but not as good I mean you can't beat the Wiimote in terms of point and interact
While I get what your saying, I don’t think we have much to fear. There’s nothing indicating that this wouldn’t be a launch title for the successor ..they just can’t confirm it. Now it’s alway possible Prime 4 won’t be a cross Gen title.. but I hold out hope. We will just have to see as the year progresses, the news cycle should be ramping up in the next two- three months
I don’t have enough money to get a new console and a new game at the same time so I wouldn’t mind if the graphics were lower for switch just so it can be playable and it can also be on the new switch with higher graphics.
I have zero worries after playing the prime remaster. Retro are absolute wizards. Cant wait for prime 4 and who knows we might get a somewhat enhanced version for switch 2. Part of me is happy tbh because if they DID design prime 4 from the ground up with switch 2 in mind they might take it in a very different direction that we dont want. Look at the ff7 remake for example, had they remade it for ps3 way back in 2009 it would likely be more like the og ff titles which I would have preferred. With prime 4 being made for switch it has a massive install base and is more likely to be designed similarly to prime 1 which I adore. Often times modern games try to do the bigger is better approach meanwhile they rarely are. Sometimes genius thrives within limitation. Time will tell though! I am super excited for it.
After the fiasco that was the WiiU, I actually understand why Nintendo would drop such a massive IP on an established install base, rather than risk wasting it on a failed launch. Plus, I really can't support the practice of abandoning a console as soon as the next gen is announced. That's exactly what ruined Sega, and those lessons stick deep.
I strongly Disagree... Yes it would be amazing if Prime 4 was a Switch 2 exclusive but the Switch is on track to potenitally become the highest selling console of all time and a lot of people who own one aren't going to upgrade for a while, so from a sales perspective I think it makes far more sense for the game to be cross-gen even if it slightly limits the game's scope (which from the trailer I really don't think will be an issue as much as you're making it out to be) than to release it as a Switch 2 exclusive at the start of the system's life and hope that enough Metroid fans will hop on board immedietly and/or that enough people who are planning to upgrade immedietly are interested in the game. ESPECIALLY when the game was announced for the Switch and has been reaffirmed as a Switch title multiple times over the years, there will be many people out there who bought a Switch partially if not primarily for Prime 4 who would be rightfully mad if they were told nope sorry you need to buy another console for the game you've waited 8 years for. Hell I remember rumors in late 2016 that BOTW might get cancelled for Wii U and become a Switch exclusive and people were mad at that idea, so imagine the the outrage of Nintendo doing that with a platform more than 10 times as successful than the Wii U...
This guy is ignorant that Namco was trusted with the development of MP4 and completely dropped the ball. Hence the announcement of restarting development from scratch with Retro Games. Also, how do you still have 32Gb of storage? I've been using a Tb since I got my Switch. Great click bait, I cringed the whole video.
@@ryukothesimp5034 it wasn't Retro that was initially developing MP4. Even if it was, it's not a bad thing for Nintendo to cancel a project when it doesn't meet their standard.
Why are you comparing file sizes for processing and rendering? Some games that have 10+ times the file sizes run horribly even with optimization. Plus, metroid will probably never be a long format game. They don't need 50gb to look good for 10-20 hours at best.
You can't honestly believe that having metroid as a launch title for the next nintendo console is a good idea. Metroid is nowhere popular enough to be that, If anything having it as the launch title would actually hurt sales and back fire on the series future. I'm sorry but despite what you just said of the end it's nowhere near being one of Nintendo's most important properties and is not part of their so called big three. It's below series like kirby, Fire emblem, and xenoblade, let alone compared to title pokemon, splatoon, or animal crossing. Also not having it on the switch would definitely be a death sentence because it would be losing out on a huge audience to sell to. Also I highly doubt that retro studios would make a very short game like you're applying here just because it looks really nice. If anything they'll have it around the same length as the other games if not longer while still looking really good, your argument doesn't make any sense and this is coming from a preson who's not a fan of any metroid series or retro studios
Sorry, but your analysis at the end was SUPER flawed. The assumptions you made about the next console are just hopium and copium. There's no indication that Nintendo would try to outgun the XbOneX or PS4Pro, and fitting that kind of hardware into an affordable portable package sounds both difficult, and very unlike them. Even the Steam Deck only gets compared to the PS4, and it isn't expected to play its flagship games at 1080p 60fps in docked mode as a basic feature like the new nintendo console would. Plus, you say that Prime 4 releasing as a swan song would be a death knell for it even if it also released on the new console, bit BotW did the same thing, and also did so after a super long development cycle, and it's one of the best selling games in recent history. Metroid may not have the same brand power, but if BotW was set up for success, then so is Prime 4
Metroid is a game with a ton of backtracking. Its not like its some giant JRPG. I think Retro can easily get a meaty game onto a 32GB Switch card. If not there's also a 64GB one they can use.
I couldn't disagree more with your point of view. First of all, nintendo had cross-gen releases before. And very successful at times (BoTW as the latest installment). And retro studios now and in 00's are two completely different studios. Most of prime developers left in the last 20 or so years, so what familiarity is there? Also, game development changed a lot and games take longer to develop nowadays. Look at other series, like ratchet and clank, for example. First 3 games were done in a year each. Last installment took like 5 or so years. Why should metroid be an exception? The thing that worries me is the fact that it looks more like a halo game than a metroid prime. And it can be a flop like prime 3 was.
I can see your concern. Based on tears of the kingdom I don’t think Nintendo will be sacrificing content. Also you have to remember that Nvidia will be attached to the next console and I think 1080p will be the benchmark for handheld performance. Both Nintendo and nvidia are amazing at optimization and performance trickery. The Wii U ran botw at 720p and the switch ran it at 900p. Nintendo pulled prime 4 because it wasn’t up to standards, I’m pretty sure they aren’t gonna risk it. However, there is only a switch logo in the trailer so perhaps it’s damned. Probably not but just maybe.
I’m worried about Prime 4 because it’s been 17 years since the last Prime game and development was restarted (which is almost always a bad sign). I love Metroid Prime 1,2,and 3. I want to love Prime 4 but I’m just concerned the window to make it has passed and they won’t be able to replicate the magic. I just don’t want to set myself up for disappointment, which I’m very worried might happen based on what I know so far. But idk that’s just my thoughts.
Glad to see others willing to voice concern about this; as someone who has loved the franchise since Super Metroid, I WANT to be excited for Prime 4, but between the amount of time passed since Prime 3, the prior cancellation, the amount of fumbles Metroid has committed over the years (Other M, Federation Force, the killing of AM2R, etc.) and the general lousy, anti-consumer state of Nintendo, I can't help but be wary. And yes, I am fully aware mine is an unpopular opinion and will most likely get me flamed by Nintendo fanboys (truly the battered housewives of gaming; no matter how much they are mistreated they just keep coming back for more), so be it, some people simply have no intention of listening to differing opinions.
Oh I’m listening I understand your opinion your concerns are valid. yes Nintendo gets on my nerves a lot! they still won’t port two Zelda games I’ve never got to try on switch! but I also heard that one of the main reasons prime 4 got restarted was because Nintendo wasn’t impressed with the way things were going with it and at the time it wasn’t being made by retro studios so Nintendo was like scrap it and start over! This time with retro studios, and Nintendo was doing good making the newest 2D Metroid so they still could potentially do good with the newest 3D one your right tho that Nintendo a lot of the time is anti consumer but if it wants to keep alive it has to make video games that interest people and one thing I’ll mention they did that was not anti consumer was making Metroid prime remastered only 40$.
A short game? Damn. I have been worried about Nintendo releasing Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on the Switch, esp. this late. I fear it'll be another Samus Returns. I do worry that if Beyond fails, Nintendo will see this as a problem with the series, rather than their fault for releasing it at all so late. I'm sure Nintendo has spent over 100 million dollars, minimum, on this game alone. Even if it's a success in terms of critical reception, I doubt it will break even. When the last Nintendo Direct happened on June 18, I suspected we would see Beyond, and it was at this point that I didn't want to. And unlike with Dread and Remastered, where I was shouting with excitement, this was a fizzle by comparison. I hope Beyond succeeds and surpasses Dread, because this game is going to need a miracle like that if it's going to be successful. I prefer the side-scrollers, but this needs to succeed, or we might see another hiatus.
Medtroid prime is kind of boring. I love 2D metroid series. I played a bit of each of the prime games and have a hard time playing for more than like half an hr.
I personally don’t quite think so. It definitely feels different tho, the first Metroid game I’ve ever played was super Metroid so I can feel the difference there are almost certainly flaws in it but it’s in 3D so it feels very different you may even say a bit too hard to backtrack cause of the extra dimension but in essence it most certainly did it’s best to imagine Metroid in 3D and it’s extra dimension may have been your problem with it but I’m not entirely sure /,’ from what I hear from you it’s definitely not anything to do with the end-game.
You are overreacting. Dread and Prime remastered madera good sells, and I'm sure Prime 4 will make it too. I mean, I'm sure you've seen how much the fans are hyped for the game and even Nintendo player that aren't that much of a fan of Metroid series are looking for Metroid games now
I really hope that Prime 4 will be the next BOTW and I, too, was kinda disappointed to see it pop up in that direct. Hopefully the fact that it has to run on Switch doesn't cripple it too much, because 5 years of radio silence for a crippled game is ridiculous. And this argument can be made for Tears of The Kingdom, too. The entire thing is a huge "YES, but..", and most of it has to do with the fact that the Switch is not capable of handling the 2 "new worlds to explore" that we were promised. Part of me still hopes that the game will run kinda meh on Switch, as I have heard that BOTW does on WiiU, and actually be the game we all deserve on the next console. Also, if this game flops, Nintendo better realize that the only reason why it, and most of Metroid really, never became as successful as Zelda, is because of their garbage commercial decisions, surely not the franchise.
1 - bro did not play prime 2 and 3 lol 2 - graphics are not what makes metroid metroid, atmosphere and exploration are 3 - would you be willing to buy a whole new console just to play a metroid game?
Here’s me reacting to your points 1 yep……I didn’t get to play them either 2 yes when will people realize that the reason I liked the series was not cause of graphics but what you just said? 3 it’s like the people getting good money only care about what they want! better graphics and such at the expense of people like me who won’t be able to afford a new console, why can’t it just be cross-gen? lower graphics for me higher for them everyone is happy.
They have to put it out on switch. Think about there is a really good chance that by the time this game releases the switch will be the most successful home console in history eclipsing the ps2. They would be insane not to release mp4 on the switch. Not everyone is going to upgrade right away. Especially people who are used to gaming on dated hardware. I don’t think the switch is going to be a limiting factor just look at what they did with mp remastered. Retro will work their magic and I believe this game is going to be amazing. I just hope we get mp 2 and 3 remastered before it releases so that I can go back and play those with updated visuals.
Never clicked on the 'Dislike' and ''Don't Recommend Channel'' buttons so fast!! These videos for views are such a stretch. Look, no one cares lol; We sensible people have eyes and saw what We saw which is incredible for 1st time footage. Regardless; the animations, system melting visuals and whole mystery surrounding the 'main' Villain and theme of the game look set to beat the 1st 3 combined. We're not greedy like you for the sake of ''controversy'' and chasing algorithms for the sake of cheap, -ve opinions. 🚮
You should play Federation Force in coop and enjoy it. Make peace with yourself,it's actually really good, most of the controls that were so praised in Metroid Prime remastered were already present in Fed Force and it got the best combat from all of the prime series. It was released at an unfortunate time,with unfortunate marketing.
18:06 Prime 4 doesn't look that much better than Prime Remastered & that game looks phenomenal, runs at a locked 60fps & fits just fine on the standard Switch's storage. its not really a stretch to assume Prime 4 will be of a comparable size to Prime Remastered.
@@robertkenny1201 why? graphically Prime 4 barely looks better than prime remastered & it will likely be a comparable length. i don't see why it wouldn't fit.
Hot take: Metroid is better as a 2D game and always has been. If this ends the Prime franchise, I'll only be sad that I don't get more Metroid, not that I'll get less Prime. Dread showed that the desire and love for 2D Metroids is still there, and the fan response to Prime 4 has been great, but if I had to choose, I'll always choose 2D. The sheer number of indie games that are 2D Metroidvanias based on the success of the format should speak to what I'm saying. I don't see too many first person Metroidvanias around these days. Having said that, I'm looking forward to Prime 4 and hope that you're wrong, but there are some points you made that should be considered valid.
I think both 2D and 3D can coexist besides,the 3D ones are very unique just for the fact they are 3D Metroid games I personally think both can continue I will actually be equally sad for both! if 3D fell I’d be as sad as I would be if 2D fell.
I hope most agree with me here! I think the 3D ones should continue as well as 2D I think there both good and the first one was pretty much a Metroid game in 3D! And I’d want that to be the way forward for prime 4 but also take a little inspiration from super Metroid where at a certain point the places you once were at temporally close on you till you get what you need there.
i just want an amazing 2d pixel art super metroid remake with updated animation and effects. not some stupid pixel remaster either. i literally lost interest the moment they abandoned the classic style. it tells me nintendo is the japanese government and that they're doing the same thing every other fps game does- training us to be fluent with drones for future wars.
Super Metroid in my eyes is in no need of a remake it’s the first Metroid game I’ve ever played it’s graphics still hold up. The fluent with drones thing doesn’t even make sense are you talking about Metroid dread? Actually your talking about the prime ones are you? The first Metroid prime game was made somewhere in the early 20s it’s old the other two are also old they aren’t new and Nintendo was very experimental varying in success so not corporate and the 3D Metroid entries for the most part aren’t fps they are first person exploration games that you also have a gun as a weapon for defense,opening doors and fighting but they have been a thing since the very first Metroid game so what you said was absolute baloney and Nintendo is not the Japanese government I’ll tell you that!
I can see your concern. Based on tears of the kingdom I don’t think Nintendo will be sacrificing content. Also you have to remember that Nvidia will be attached to the next console I think 1080p will be the benchmark for handheld performance.

I genuinely don’t understand the rant about the advisor because that’s exactly how it works in prime two and three lol
Only the first game has the little red in orange boxes and even then after you scan them, they visibly change.
I was about to comment this. It sounds like he didn’t complete the trilogy, let alone start the second or third game. 🤷♂️
@@justkevin09 and even in the first one, its VERY clear what you have and haven't scanned because the block changes.
The changes with the scan visor were actually already implemented in Prime 2: There every scannable object was overlaid with a blue or red mesh if it was unscanned, and a green mesh when it was already scanned.
Came here to say this. This is a pretty old update. Good, but already done
BoTW was also released on Wii U, that's my copium.
It was never gonna not be on Switch. This was blatantly obvious if you just did some digging. I don't think it's getting a separate Switch 2 version. I think the Switch version will just be playable on Switch 2 via backwards compatibility and maybe some minor improvements. It'd be cool if I was wrong about that but this is just what my gut feeling is.
@@knatkniht All the linkedin profiles of retro studios employees mention it as a switch game and Nintendo calling it a switch game in their financial reports
That wouldn't be too much of a far cry, because even with the WiiU's troubles, it was easily reverse compatible with Wii titles so a Switch 2 being reverse compatible with Switch 1 games would make logical sense.
It's getting 2 version. Switch and Switch 2.
@@megamegaO don't be so sure. It can be really hard to predict Nintendo even when it seems so obvious.
@@madcorndog Well they did it with breath of the wild, a more profitable IP, why wouldn't they do the same for MP4? There's a HUGE install base on the switch, it would do great on the switch PLUS a bit more from the Switch 2, since most Nintendo fans will be owning.
Prime 2 and 3 had similar scanning to 4, only 1 has the symbols. in 2 and 3 scannable objects are highlighted completely blue for regular things (random debris or enemies ect) or red for important objects (lore or scan locks etc) then the objest turn green if they've already been scanned
This is correct. Prime 1 is the black sheep. 4 is merely echoing Echoes.
@@0tf850 *rim-shot*
Nintendo as done the "console launch game" also on older gen with 2 Zelda game in the past, and those Zelda where big, ambitious and great. No reason to fear for prime 4 just for that.
It actually help the game to be available on one of the most owned console of all times
(top 3).
Have faith, everything else point towards a good release.
Nintendo did the exact same thing with Breath of the Wild and the Wii U. Soon enough they will announce the new Switch, and probably will bundle Metroid 4 with it.
They know at least half of their customers will instabuy the next Metroid game. I don't see them losing this opportunity.
Metroid remaster and dread have sold a combined around 4-5 million copies. That's like 3% of the user base. Ya know just to temper expectations on Metroid Prime 4 sales numbers and it's ability to be a system seller. New Switch will almost certainly launch alongside a new Mario, Smash or Mario Kart
@@gamble777888 That's also expected. But I see a world where they bundle the new metroid 4 with the console. We've seen a few different bundles for every console at this point, they don't usually do just one bundle
what the hell are u talking about
Bro this is nintendo. Youve lost your mind lol.
Aside from the characters, the xenoblade games on switch all have pretty realistic visualls and lighting and are clearly more open than a prime game. They are all very long and loaded with prerendered scenes, large textures, and lengthy voiced dialogue. The storage will be fine, lmao.
Hate to be that guy but Metroid hasn’t been in Nintendo’s big 3 for a while. I struggle to see it the big 10.
At first, I was like "WTF are you talking about??? Oh wait. Mario, Zelda, Mariokart, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, Splatoon, Mario Party, Luigi's Mansion, Pokemon, Kirby.... yeah, ok." Hell, even Fire Emblem is selling better than Metroid.
@@nancyswift8090 Even consildating all the Mario Titles and not counting Smash, Metroid still only clock in at aroun 9 cause even Pikmin starting to do around the same as Fire Emblem. Facts are as legendary as Metroid is, it sadly isn’t accesible to bigger audiences but there’s nothing wrong with that cause not every game has to be for everyone
@@nancyswift8090 Never underestimate fire emblem or even xenoblade
@@DDKoD I wouldn't say that pikimi is on the same level as fire emblem it's definitely below it considering it gets multiple games and spin-offs
Don't worry about size, really don't worry about it. metal surfaces can be made look good with basically no real major investment in storage. As lighting does a lot of the work for them regarding shading and the like.
I would be surprised if it's not to the scale of or larger then older tittles and only be 20 ish GB or so.
Additionally, younger gamers have been conditioned by the incredibly inefficient practices of modern game dev where where textures are unoptimised, stored uncompressed, and seemingly used without any consideration for efficient re-use.
A developer that *does* consider these things, rather than rushing for the last 1% of graphical fidelity at all costs, can achieve quite a lot.
This was very well produced and entertaining to watch. As a huge Metroid fan all I can say is have faith. Nintendo must care about it because they hired an All-Star team.
I never really thought about her shoulders because they never seemed out of place. Probably because the pauldrons always looked more like they were on top of her arms then being positioned where her shoulders are meant to be. But I do see the improvement in their design
I wonder, how much do you think it really needs to sell? Because as of now, I get the impression it should at least sell better than previous Prime games. Like Prime 3 released on the Wii, a very successful console, yet it didn't sell as Prime 1, and even despite that Nintendo didn't forget about the series.
Trust me when I tell you I also want to want this game to sell well, but what classifies as a "success" in this scenario seems like a weird thing to answer. It should at least sell as well, if not better than Dread.
yup I think around 5mm would be a big success. Anything above that would be very surprising.
It will definitely sell better than Dread because first person shooter style games are naturally more popular than side scrollers, and Prime 4 has really good graphics and you can't deny that good graphics draw people to buy your product.
Once I got to the end of the video I completely understood why you are fearing what might happen given Prime 4 Beyond being released on the switch in its last year or so. Hopefully, ya'll don't get the Star Fox treatment and then have your game series (or in this case sub-series) put on ice for the whole console gen.
Awesome video, because I agree that the graphics have more potential on a more powerful console. The comment section for the IGN MP4 reveal trailer was less forgiving of the look of the game. And I hated to see it cause I love Metroid, but they were right.
I, as a metroid fan, feel like we are well overdue for a Metroid game with current gen graphics. Don't get me wrong, MP4 does look decent, but I own a Switch and a PS5, and my girl owns a PC. I see the constant differences in graphics between systems. Graphics aren't everything, but it'd be nice if for once, that's a big selling point for a Metroid game.
You might think that… but the graphics this Metroid prime game has is already good enough for me! I personally don’t want an ultra realistic graphics video game I never for a second of my life flipping care about graphics and if the graphics are good enough not too realistic and all that what is there to fix? and I personally think it looks good in-fact I prefer it this way I don’t even wish for better graphics if I get the new console just better vanilla space! Nintendo shouldn’t try to make its video games very realistic it should try to make them fun and try to conserve as much space as possible even on the new switch. I personally prefer art style over higher end graphics not everything has to look extra detailed.
I know it’s a hot take but Metroid Prime remastered already looked good and the fact prime 4 looks similar in graphics isn’t a bad thing.
BotW released on the WiiU and it didn’t spell disaster. Nintendo promised on 2017 that the game would release on Switch, and they are following through on that like they did with Zelda.
Also, keep your expectations realistic when it comes to Nintendo and hardware specs. They’re not going to release games with a 30-50 GB install size because it’s a hybrid system. You can’t run an SSD that hot on a handheld device and expect any semblance of performance or battery life.
Nintendo has hitched its wagon to this strategy a long time ago by prioritizing software design over hardware.
I would also like to point out modern games don't give two shits about their optimization; but I assume Nintendo does because of their lower specs and storage space. You can do a lot with less if you optimize it well.
Counterpoint the Steam deck has a 1tb nvme SSD and they really don't get that hot when playing games
Great editing and I like your style. I subscribed.
I feel where you're coming with this and I was also concerned about the switch release. Due to the art style they went with, it definitely seems scalable though if they were to cross-gen the game.
Also, MP3 felt short in comparison to 2&1
I wouldn't be happy with it, but if they expanded the game with an after story, I'd take that over nothing.
I'm also a huge fan of the MP series, so I want to see it thrive. If MP4 ain't it, let's hope for MP5 I guess
It will be it
Solid take, love your energy. I hope it does well too…
I get his issues they all make sense but at the same time I’m not planning on getting a new console this soon.
Her new visor hud reminds me of the visor hud from Republic Commando.
I think one of my greatest desires ever is Nentendo just saying ‘fuck it’ and giving up on consoles and going fully 3rd party
Ngl like 5 seconds into the trailer I muttered "This is not on the switch" to myself and I still believe there is no way that footage was recorded on a switch
Well you're blind then because those were clearly Switch footage. If not then I'm really concerned about the Switch two cause you'd think textures would look a lot less muddy and the lighting a lot more dynamic and less baked.
You know nothing about Retro studios then
Cheer up its gonna sell a lot of copies anyways and this game will be fantastic as always! GOTY contender calling it!
They also did this to SM and Return of Samus and both of those games bombed in sales.
I get your point, but I think it will do quite well. Retro Studios are masters of utilizing the hardware, so I think they'll crank out a very good game.
I get the worry but honestly?
Trust the process!
Keep in mind that Nintendo saved Prime 4 as the end of direct reveal, they usually do this with games considered a *massive* deal to them (Tears of the Kingdom used to always end directs).
I think we'll see a situation where it comes out and sells better than expected!
I am not worried. I have faith in Retro. Look at tears of the kingdom on switch. Look at Metroid Dread and what it achieved. It wasn't the longest but about the length of a 2d metroid. If 4 can be around the same length or a little longer and has that isolated exploration feel people will buy it.
Ummm Metroid prime just isn’t the same scope and scale of TOTK nor does anyone want it to be.
I’d love to hear about how you feel about the timeline. 🤘🏻
That rant at the end about the game coming to Switch was stupid.
Prime 4 was announced for the Switch in 2017; I really don't get why people thought that wouldn't happen.
They have to say it would be for the Switch, even if they have planned another console… maybe it‘s gonna be a multi console game like Zelda?
I’m not getting a new console anytime soon so it would have to be cross-gen to make most of everyone happy.
Dude, stop doom and glooming, 4 will be ok and everything we all hoped for. Whether it's on the switch or the new console or both, we're all going to enjoy the hell out of the game and you know it.
You may have forgotten but Prime 2 and 3 already had the color coded scan visor, Prime 1 was the only game that used the squares.
I really I really want Ridley to return to this game and also I really want real Metroids to return
People keep saying "Mocktroid" but I honestly don't think these are Mochtroids. Why would Sylux take defects into a combat zone when he has perfectly healthy Metroids? These creatures look more like genetic hybrids, as they have traits of both Phazon and Dark Tallon Metroids.
They looked kinda like fission Metroids to me until he told me about the nuclei.
TotK has like hundreds of hours worth of stuff in it and can fit into 16GB, metroid games are barely a fraction of that length so i genuinely don't understand the worry about the game being too limited. if the wii u can handle open world stuff like xenoblade x and BotW then prime 4 is gonna be fine lol
Holy nitpicking, Batman. I think you're underestimating the seriousness of what they've poured into reviving this IP. They were willing to restart instead of cancel and hire a smorgasbord of the best devs to work with Retro. Not only that, they resurrected DREAD.. a basically 20 yr old dead game that was only rumored. Nintendo knows their exclusive IPs are their bread and butter. Even if one of them takes a dip, they are very willing to revive and give new life to each one eventually. Breath easy. We just ended the Metroid drought. It's about to be a Metroid renaissance.
Development insight here. The scope of and core design of video games isn’t as defined as it has been in past generations to being only possible on specific hardware. Nowadays because x86 architecture is pretty much universal across the board. You can see this happening with the other platforms. Triple A 3rd party games still releasing across switch xbone ps4 ps4 pro xboneX and the series consoles. Both hardware and software for game development has become highly standardized in the modern era. Games are effectively just made and scaled to whatever device the devs want it on. Core game design concepts don’t change only visuals and frame rate. It’s as simple as will it run.
Retro has consistently given fantastic metroid games,
meanwhile activision has crapped out a pachinka machine with a playable movie consistently for years now
with how good prime remaster looks and the fact that you can still see heavy stylization in the prime 4 trailer, I think you're gassing yourself up on the fear a bit
That rant at the end about the game coming to Switch was stupid.
No matter how much you love Metroid, it's not a big enough franchise to launch a console. Had this been exclusive for the next Nintendo and been the big launch title, very few people would have bothered buying either the game or the device.
Having this game available for the current switch is the best business move because it guarantees there are over 100 million different switches available for Prime 4 to be played on.
And I personally don’t care if the graphics are reduced a little either I mean people were playing prime 3 and 2 and there weren’t many complaints about graphics then at least not many until now, probably.
guy who titled a video around a subject shocked when viewers skip the 12 minutes of not-the-subject (EMOTIONAL)
no hate tho i enjoyed the other 8 minutes :)
calm yourself. Prime 1-3 were developed with GCN/Wii hardware and the games were amazing. The switch is significantly more capable and we don’t need the switch 2 for prime 4. You’re worried about 4gb of ram? The GameCube had 43mb of ram and played Metroid prime perfectly.
I have only one franchise that I play. Monster Hunter mainline games and only the mainline games. I have only played world since launch and I will change it when wilds launches
I'd still buy the game, I still think Hunters was a mistake, and as for Retro Studios taking as long as they did, when you take into account much of the original development team left to form Armature Studio in 2008, that should paint a clear picture.
Huh I didn’t know that but bear with me here retro-studios was working on Metroid prime remastered cause it had to be started from scratch and retro-studios was working on it from then on.
I have First Hunt as well. Lol
The camera control looks like we going back to controller mode
Point and shoot probably exists still but not as good
I mean you can't beat the Wiimote in terms of point and interact
Still I would have to practice on that.
While I get what your saying, I don’t think we have much to fear. There’s nothing indicating that this wouldn’t be a launch title for the successor ..they just can’t confirm it. Now it’s alway possible Prime 4 won’t be a cross Gen title.. but I hold out hope.
We will just have to see as the year progresses, the news cycle should be ramping up in the next two- three months
I don’t have enough money to get a new console and a new game at the same time so I wouldn’t mind if the graphics were lower for switch just so it can be playable and it can also be on the new switch with higher graphics.
Man idk what this panic is for but i guess go off
I have zero worries after playing the prime remaster. Retro are absolute wizards. Cant wait for prime 4 and who knows we might get a somewhat enhanced version for switch 2. Part of me is happy tbh because if they DID design prime 4 from the ground up with switch 2 in mind they might take it in a very different direction that we dont want. Look at the ff7 remake for example, had they remade it for ps3 way back in 2009 it would likely be more like the og ff titles which I would have preferred. With prime 4 being made for switch it has a massive install base and is more likely to be designed similarly to prime 1 which I adore. Often times modern games try to do the bigger is better approach meanwhile they rarely are. Sometimes genius thrives within limitation. Time will tell though! I am super excited for it.
After the fiasco that was the WiiU, I actually understand why Nintendo would drop such a massive IP on an established install base, rather than risk wasting it on a failed launch.
Plus, I really can't support the practice of abandoning a console as soon as the next gen is announced. That's exactly what ruined Sega, and those lessons stick deep.
I strongly Disagree...
Yes it would be amazing if Prime 4 was a Switch 2 exclusive but the Switch is on track to potenitally become the highest selling console of all time and a lot of people who own one aren't going to upgrade for a while, so from a sales perspective I think it makes far more sense for the game to be cross-gen even if it slightly limits the game's scope (which from the trailer I really don't think will be an issue as much as you're making it out to be) than to release it as a Switch 2 exclusive at the start of the system's life and hope that enough Metroid fans will hop on board immedietly and/or that enough people who are planning to upgrade immedietly are interested in the game.
ESPECIALLY when the game was announced for the Switch and has been reaffirmed as a Switch title multiple times over the years, there will be many people out there who bought a Switch partially if not primarily for Prime 4 who would be rightfully mad if they were told nope sorry you need to buy another console for the game you've waited 8 years for.
Hell I remember rumors in late 2016 that BOTW might get cancelled for Wii U and become a Switch exclusive and people were mad at that idea, so imagine the the outrage of Nintendo doing that with a platform more than 10 times as successful than the Wii U...
Yes yes! you understand my mindset I don’t want prime 4 to be a switch 2 exclusive cause that would cement the idea of me never getting to play it.
I've never been a big metroid prime fan. I like 2d metroid games.
This guy is ignorant that Namco was trusted with the development of MP4 and completely dropped the ball. Hence the announcement of restarting development from scratch with Retro Games. Also, how do you still have 32Gb of storage? I've been using a Tb since I got my Switch. Great click bait, I cringed the whole video.
He literally mentions this in the video saying retro had to restart development 5 years ago.
@@ryukothesimp5034 it wasn't Retro that was initially developing MP4. Even if it was, it's not a bad thing for Nintendo to cancel a project when it doesn't meet their standard.
@@Ferahtsutrue if there’s a high standard we won’t be given garbage,that’s just how the cookies crumble.

You need to chill dude.
Why are you comparing file sizes for processing and rendering? Some games that have 10+ times the file sizes run horribly even with optimization. Plus, metroid will probably never be a long format game. They don't need 50gb to look good for 10-20 hours at best.
Besides a 10-20 hour long video-game would be fine for me.
Not too short and not too long.
You can't honestly believe that having metroid as a launch title for the next nintendo console is a good idea. Metroid is nowhere popular enough to be that, If anything having it as the launch title would actually hurt sales and back fire on the series future. I'm sorry but despite what you just said of the end it's nowhere near being one of Nintendo's most important properties and is not part of their so called big three. It's below series like kirby, Fire emblem, and xenoblade, let alone compared to title pokemon, splatoon, or animal crossing.
Also not having it on the switch would definitely be a death sentence because it would be losing out on a huge audience to sell to. Also I highly doubt that retro studios would make a very short game like you're applying here just because it looks really nice. If anything they'll have it around the same length as the other games if not longer while still looking really good, your argument doesn't make any sense and this is coming from a preson who's not a fan of any metroid series or retro studios
Sorry, but your analysis at the end was SUPER flawed. The assumptions you made about the next console are just hopium and copium. There's no indication that Nintendo would try to outgun the XbOneX or PS4Pro, and fitting that kind of hardware into an affordable portable package sounds both difficult, and very unlike them. Even the Steam Deck only gets compared to the PS4, and it isn't expected to play its flagship games at 1080p 60fps in docked mode as a basic feature like the new nintendo console would. Plus, you say that Prime 4 releasing as a swan song would be a death knell for it even if it also released on the new console, bit BotW did the same thing, and also did so after a super long development cycle, and it's one of the best selling games in recent history. Metroid may not have the same brand power, but if BotW was set up for success, then so is Prime 4
Metroid is a game with a ton of backtracking. Its not like its some giant JRPG. I think Retro can easily get a meaty game onto a 32GB Switch card. If not there's also a 64GB one they can use.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has me hyped
I couldn't disagree more with your point of view.
First of all, nintendo had cross-gen releases before. And very successful at times (BoTW as the latest installment).
And retro studios now and in 00's are two completely different studios. Most of prime developers left in the last 20 or so years, so what familiarity is there?
Also, game development changed a lot and games take longer to develop nowadays. Look at other series, like ratchet and clank, for example. First 3 games were done in a year each. Last installment took like 5 or so years.
Why should metroid be an exception?
The thing that worries me is the fact that it looks more like a halo game than a metroid prime. And it can be a flop like prime 3 was.
I’m just happy we got a new game bro. RUclipsrs complain to much 😒
Its possible we could get HD Remasters of Metroid Prime 2 Echoes and Metroid Prime 3 Corruption for the Switch to help build up hype for this game.
true
I honestly haven’t played either I only played prime 1 in the trilogy so I’d like to give them a try.
The last of us and uncharted was made in a PS3...enough said
Un nerf Samus' Butt :3
I can see your concern. Based on tears of the kingdom I don’t think Nintendo will be sacrificing content. Also you have to remember that Nvidia will be attached to the next console and I think 1080p will be the benchmark for handheld performance. Both Nintendo and nvidia are amazing at optimization and performance trickery. The Wii U ran botw at 720p and the switch ran it at 900p.
Nintendo pulled prime 4 because it wasn’t up to standards, I’m pretty sure they aren’t gonna risk it. However, there is only a switch logo in the trailer so perhaps it’s damned. Probably not but just maybe.
did you watch the whole video before commenting?
I’d rather have Metroid prime 4 be cross-gen then to be switch 2 exclusive!
I’m worried about Prime 4 because it’s been 17 years since the last Prime game and development was restarted (which is almost always a bad sign). I love Metroid Prime 1,2,and 3. I want to love Prime 4 but I’m just concerned the window to make it has passed and they won’t be able to replicate the magic. I just don’t want to set myself up for disappointment, which I’m very worried might happen based on what I know so far. But idk that’s just my thoughts.
Well if they look back at prime 1 and see what it did right and what it did wrong they might be able to.
Oh and if you’re not so sure you can look at an honest game review when it comes out.
Glad to see others willing to voice concern about this; as someone who has loved the franchise since Super Metroid, I WANT to be excited for Prime 4, but between the amount of time passed since Prime 3, the prior cancellation, the amount of fumbles Metroid has committed over the years (Other M, Federation Force, the killing of AM2R, etc.) and the general lousy, anti-consumer state of Nintendo, I can't help but be wary.
And yes, I am fully aware mine is an unpopular opinion and will most likely get me flamed by Nintendo fanboys (truly the battered housewives of gaming; no matter how much they are mistreated they just keep coming back for more), so be it, some people simply have no intention of listening to differing opinions.
To be fair Samus Returns is pretty good while Dread is extremely good. They care at least somewhat.
Oh I’m listening I understand your opinion your concerns are valid. yes Nintendo gets on my nerves a lot! they still won’t port two Zelda games I’ve never got to try on switch! but I also heard that one of the main reasons prime 4 got restarted was because Nintendo wasn’t impressed with the way things were going with it and at the time it wasn’t being made by retro studios so Nintendo was like scrap it and start over! This time with retro studios, and Nintendo was doing good making the newest 2D Metroid so they still could potentially do good with the newest 3D one your right tho that Nintendo a lot of the time is anti consumer but if it wants to keep alive it has to make video games that interest people and one thing I’ll mention they did that was not anti consumer was making Metroid prime remastered only 40$.
Oh and I can also relate that the first Metroid game I’ve ever played was also super Metroid.
A short game? Damn. I have been worried about Nintendo releasing Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on the Switch, esp. this late. I fear it'll be another Samus Returns. I do worry that if Beyond fails, Nintendo will see this as a problem with the series, rather than their fault for releasing it at all so late.
I'm sure Nintendo has spent over 100 million dollars, minimum, on this game alone. Even if it's a success in terms of critical reception, I doubt it will break even.
When the last Nintendo Direct happened on June 18, I suspected we would see Beyond, and it was at this point that I didn't want to. And unlike with Dread and Remastered, where I was shouting with excitement, this was a fizzle by comparison.
I hope Beyond succeeds and surpasses Dread, because this game is going to need a miracle like that if it's going to be successful. I prefer the side-scrollers, but this needs to succeed, or we might see another hiatus.
Why did yt recommend this sad video to me?
you didnt have to steal my top three favorite franchises smh
Medtroid prime is kind of boring. I love 2D metroid series. I played a bit of each of the prime games and have a hard time playing for more than like half an hr.
I personally don’t quite think so. It definitely feels different tho, the first Metroid game I’ve ever played was super Metroid so I can feel the difference there are almost certainly flaws in it but it’s in 3D so it feels very different you may even say a bit too hard to backtrack cause of the extra dimension but in essence it most certainly did it’s best to imagine Metroid in 3D and it’s extra dimension may have been your problem with it but I’m not entirely sure /,’ from what I hear from you it’s definitely not anything to do with the end-game.
@@cfamcam5663 1st person games don't really appeal to me though. I might try again later.
You are overreacting. Dread and Prime remastered madera good sells, and I'm sure Prime 4 will make it too. I mean, I'm sure you've seen how much the fans are hyped for the game and even Nintendo player that aren't that much of a fan of Metroid series are looking for Metroid games now
I really hope that Prime 4 will be the next BOTW and I, too, was kinda disappointed to see it pop up in that direct. Hopefully the fact that it has to run on Switch doesn't cripple it too much, because 5 years of radio silence for a crippled game is ridiculous. And this argument can be made for Tears of The Kingdom, too. The entire thing is a huge "YES, but..", and most of it has to do with the fact that the Switch is not capable of handling the 2 "new worlds to explore" that we were promised.
Part of me still hopes that the game will run kinda meh on Switch, as I have heard that BOTW does on WiiU, and actually be the game we all deserve on the next console.
Also, if this game flops, Nintendo better realize that the only reason why it, and most of Metroid really, never became as successful as Zelda, is because of their garbage commercial decisions, surely not the franchise.
what is lil bro yapping about
1 - bro did not play prime 2 and 3 lol
2 - graphics are not what makes metroid metroid, atmosphere and exploration are
3 - would you be willing to buy a whole new console just to play a metroid game?
Here’s me reacting to your points 1 yep……I didn’t get to play them either 2 yes when will people realize that the reason I liked the series was not cause of graphics but what you just said? 3 it’s like the people getting good money only care about what they want! better graphics and such at the expense of people like me who won’t be able to afford a new console, why can’t it just be cross-gen? lower graphics for me higher for them everyone is happy.
Then don’t play it. Simple
They have to put it out on switch. Think about there is a really good chance that by the time this game releases the switch will be the most successful home console in history eclipsing the ps2. They would be insane not to release mp4 on the switch. Not everyone is going to upgrade right away. Especially people who are used to gaming on dated hardware. I don’t think the switch is going to be a limiting factor just look at what they did with mp remastered. Retro will work their magic and I believe this game is going to be amazing. I just hope we get mp 2 and 3 remastered before it releases so that I can go back and play those with updated visuals.
I don’t think they will but I can see a port for prime2/3.
Never clicked on the 'Dislike' and ''Don't Recommend Channel'' buttons so fast!! These videos for views are such a stretch. Look, no one cares lol; We sensible people have eyes and saw what We saw which is incredible for 1st time footage. Regardless; the animations, system melting visuals and whole mystery surrounding the 'main' Villain and theme of the game look set to beat the 1st 3 combined. We're not greedy like you for the sake of ''controversy'' and chasing algorithms for the sake of cheap, -ve opinions. 🚮
Yes why should people care so much about graphics? this isn’t a live action movie!
@@cfamcam5663 What? Did I mention the graphics are the only strength.
You should play Federation Force in coop and enjoy it.
Make peace with yourself,it's actually really good, most of the controls that were so praised in Metroid Prime remastered were already present in Fed Force and it got the best combat from all of the prime series.
It was released at an unfortunate time,with unfortunate marketing.
You’re tweaking
I couldn't watch because you said the word "franchise" within 17 seconds.
What?
18:06 Prime 4 doesn't look that much better than Prime Remastered & that game looks phenomenal, runs at a locked 60fps & fits just fine on the standard Switch's storage. its not really a stretch to assume Prime 4 will be of a comparable size to Prime Remastered.
I doubt it.
@@robertkenny1201 why? graphically Prime 4 barely looks better than prime remastered & it will likely be a comparable length. i don't see why it wouldn't fit.
@@asdfxcvbn746I agree and I’d want it available for switch for when I feel like buying it.
your outta line, but youre not wrong
His concerns kinda make sense, but I still want the game to be a cross-gen as opposed to an exclusive.
i share these concerns as well. not choosing prime 4 to be a flagship next-gen console title would be a huge L.
Sorry not sorry, your getting the new console I can’t. I’d like it to be cross-gen instead of switch 2 exclusive!
Hot take: Metroid is better as a 2D game and always has been. If this ends the Prime franchise, I'll only be sad that I don't get more Metroid, not that I'll get less Prime.
Dread showed that the desire and love for 2D Metroids is still there, and the fan response to Prime 4 has been great, but if I had to choose, I'll always choose 2D.
The sheer number of indie games that are 2D Metroidvanias based on the success of the format should speak to what I'm saying. I don't see too many first person Metroidvanias around these days.
Having said that, I'm looking forward to Prime 4 and hope that you're wrong, but there are some points you made that should be considered valid.
I think both 2D and 3D can coexist besides,the 3D ones are very unique just for the fact they are 3D Metroid games I personally think both can continue I will actually be equally sad for both! if 3D fell I’d be as sad as I would be if 2D fell.
I hope most agree with me here! I think the 3D ones should continue as well as 2D I think there both good and the first one was pretty much a Metroid game in 3D! And I’d want that to be the way forward for prime 4 but also take a little inspiration from super Metroid where at a certain point the places you once were at temporally close on you till you get what you need there.
i just want an amazing 2d pixel art super metroid remake with updated animation and effects. not some stupid pixel remaster either. i literally lost interest the moment they abandoned the classic style. it tells me nintendo is the japanese government and that they're doing the same thing every other fps game does- training us to be fluent with drones for future wars.
The hell are you talking about?
Super Metroid in my eyes is in no need of a remake it’s the first Metroid game I’ve ever played it’s graphics still hold up. The fluent with drones thing doesn’t even make sense are you talking about Metroid dread? Actually your talking about the prime ones are you? The first Metroid prime game was made somewhere in the early 20s it’s old the other two are also old they aren’t new and Nintendo was very experimental varying in success so not corporate and the 3D Metroid entries for the most part aren’t fps they are first person exploration games that you also have a gun as a weapon for defense,opening doors and fighting but they have been a thing since the very first Metroid game so what you said was absolute baloney and Nintendo is not the Japanese government I’ll tell you that!
Fuuuuuck, the end Died’d me. 🪦☠️
I can see your concern. Based on tears of the kingdom I don’t think Nintendo will be sacrificing content. Also you have to remember that Nvidia will be attached to the next console I think 1080p will be the benchmark for handheld performance. Both Nintendo and nvidia are amazing at optimization and performance trickery.
The Wii U ran botw at 720p and the switch ran it at 900p. Nintendo pulled prime 4 because it wasn’t up to standards, I’m pretty sure they aren’t gonna risk it.
However, there is only a switch logo in the trailer so perhaps it’s damned. Probably not but maybe
