Is someone else afraid that this game will not live to expectations?

Why is /v/ ignoring me?

>Retro is not involved

It will be shit then.

The only reason why it was good was because it was made by westerners

My feeling is basically this for Prime 4 and Samus Returns.

Nobody expected shit from Retro with Prime. I don't care who makes it as long as it turns out good.

We can only hope that this new team is as talented as Retro once was.

>It's being developed by a new formed team inside EAD.
Source? I've yet to see any confirmation on the team (other than it being Not Retro.) The Climax rumor from before sounded plausible enough. Either way, EAD is pretty much the part of Nintendo that puts out actual quality for the most part. Tanabe was the producer on the other Prime games so that's irrelevant. Other M wasn't a prime game. Fed Force technically was with the title but it was fairly obvious that it was a pet project of Tanabe's that Nintendo slapped the Metroid name on in a botched attempt to appease the fans. (The fact that it began as Blast Ball should say enough.)

>Now, I never played any Metroid, so I'll probably find this one good if the reviews are higher than eighty and if it looks and plays nice. But I can't see it living up to peoples expectations, everything is pointing to this being a completely different game than the Prime series, people are expecting a lot from this sequence but I think they will make huge changes/westernize this series and it will be as hated as Other M and Federation Force.
You should play the trilogy, because you'd realize that almost everything you just said could be said about Prime 3. Prime 3 is a pretty big departure from the first two games; it's much more linear, has escort missions, etc. but in spite of that it sold well, people bought and liked the game. And it's fairly obvious it was done that way because Retro didn't want to make Prime 3 a rehash, so handing it off to a new team is probably the best way to get fresh ideas on the series. Unless it's a total abomination most fans are glad to have a Metroid game on the console; outside the burst of Prime games they're quite scarce.

No metroid prime game has ever lived up to expectations.

They probably want to develop Metroid internally and create a specific Team just for it, like the Zelda team, Mario team, Animal Crossing team, Splatoon team etc, I think they want to make Metroid one of their flagship titles now.

>You should play the trilogy
I will probably buy the trilogy on the Wii U VC, but what are the chances of them releasing those games in HD for the Switch?
