So what are you expectations for this?

Personally, I'm hoping for something post-fusion, with the fusion suit.

I hope they keep the lock-on mechanics form the previous games, but make things a bit faster and harder. I hope that they follow the same design philosophy of BotW of just letting you explore the map on your own with little to no hand-holding, ala Super Metroid, and include multiple ways of reaching the ending.

Plotwise I just hope they go back to making Samus a silent protagonist, or at least a quiet one, and put less focus on character development and more focus on lore building.
>>
I hope there are little secrets like the original Doom
>>
>>385076870
I expect it to be a FPS made by a fully Japanese team.

I hope this will be good but with the mere fact that it ain't Retro makes me no longer hold hope that it will be.
>>
Who's making the game?
I just want a good Metroid P game.
With great music and atmosphere. And i unironically would like to have gyro aiming option.
>>
-sylux
-phazon is back judging from the blue surrounding the 4 in the logo
-I don't think dark samus/metroid prime is back, sylux will instead utilize phazon
>>
I'd rather have a multiplayer focused Metroid Prime Hunters 2 tbqh
>>
>>385077221
>Who's making the game?

We don't know yet. We know literally nothing about the game, I'm pretty sure they just wanted to calm down the fans who might have jumped to the conclusion that the Switch wasn't getting a Metroid game anytime soon because of the 3DS game being released.
>>
>>385077221
Nobody knows who is making it.
But if it was being made by Retro then we would have had a retro logo on screen.
>>
the good news is Retro might still do another DKC game
>>
>>385077956
That's shit news.
Nobody wants yet another DKC from Retro. Not even Retro.

What I want

>Decent and solid metroid game
>Option for normal controls, so I can play the game how I want to.
>new and actually creative powers, we need to stop recycling the old ones, but not at the risk of doing something new for the sake of doing something new
>Bosses that use the environment a lot, that's always cool
>Online multi arena like hunters, only upgraded.

What I'll get

>Forced and unavoidable motion controls that the apologists on /v/ will defend because "ITS ACCURATE HUR HURR SO THAT MEANS YOU SHOULD WANT TO USE INVASIVE MOTION CONTROLS!"

No like seriously, I have to make a sidenote here. I'm sick of modern day Nintendo's apologists. I don't want nor need motion controls. I don't care if its accuracy down to 4K pixel sort of tiny. I just want to use a normal god damn controller with normal controls. Fuck off gimmickfags.
>tons of cinematics explaining lore instead of letting me just fucking explore
>references to fed force somehow to save face for that debacle
>more characters I dont give a fuck about that will get forced on me storywise because Nintendo and its partners like to try to have metroid be a story game now.

Complete random guesses
>forced escort of NPC's or working with them to solve puzzles
on that note
>shitty motion control based puzzles somehow to take advantage of the haptic feedback crap
>and somehow, DARK SAMUS DARK SAMUS DARK SAMUS DARK SAMUS DARK SAMUS DARK SAMUS
Like I know its metroid prime but come the fuck on.
>>
>>385077956
doubt they'd spend this much time in the shadows over a DK game

>>385078003
fuck you
>>
>>385078556
I love Retro DKC. But have them move the fuck on and make some other fucking games.
>>
>>385077232
he stole a baby metroid at the end of federation force. you can guarantee he is going to try and create his own metroid prime somehow
>>
>>385078457

Hearing the amount of spite in your post really makes me sad for you, anon. I won't question it though, because this is /v/ - autism
>>
>>385078760
oh shit haven't thought of that, good prediction
>>
>>385078457
this is concerning, you really need to step away from the keyboard and step outside for a minute or two
>>
>>385077082
>no fucking open world- just make a first person metroidvania, please
>minimal/no dialogue
>some new weapons/suits/powerups would be nice
>set it on one planet and make that planet detailed and interesting, like prime 1&2
>focus on isolation and atmosphere over rootin' and shootin'

As long as it hits these boxes, I'm down.
>>
>>385078457

Pointer controls were pretty fucking good for Prime 3 though, even though I love the tank controls of the first 2.

Switch has no pointer though, and I don't really like the Splatoon-like gyro aiming, so I hope they just go back to regular controls.
>>
>>385078835
when dark samus "died" at the end of prime 3 she bodyhopped to sylux who was sitting just outside the star system waiting to tail samus as she escaped. the new dark samus/sylux plans to raise an army of metroid prime children to take over the galaxy
>>
>>385076870
>Personally, I'm hoping for something post-fusion, with the fusion suit

Aren't the Prime Games in their own canon? It would take place after Prime 3/Federation Force with Sylux after Samus
>>
>>385078457
>I just want to use a normal god damn controller with normal controls. Fuck off gimmickfags.

Analog sticks were a gimmick, Anon. A successful gimmick, but a gimmick all the same.
>>

I swear to god I'll stab a nigger if this proves true

no

not metroid

I wasn't crazy about Corruption so I hope they take more from the first two.

>>385077181
Really, nobody remembers no one trusted Retro at first? Trust the new guys, they'll have the same tight grip on their necks that Retro did in 2000 when development of Prime began.
>>
>>385079665
That "tight grip" is part of what worries me, though. The Nintendo that supervised Retro in 2000 is not the same Nintendo we have now.
>>
>>385079572
I'm pretty sure I remember reading something saying that they're following prime 1's design, but I can't find the source so take it with a grain of salt
>>
I want multiplayer ala Metroid prime hunters
>>
>Retro isn't working on it, just some "talented team"
>Sakamoto will probably be heavily involved this time

I'm not expecting great things to be honest, but if they manage to surprise me, I won't mind at all.
>>
>>385079665
That was then on a completely new series of Metroid.
This is the fucking sequel to Metroid Prime.
Having someone else make it is a problem.
>>
>>385079762
Who knows, new Nintendo under Kimishima seems miles better than Iwata, like Yamauchi 2.0.
A rough based yakuza man is what Nintendo needed to be successful, not gentle Iwata, as horrible as that sounds. Not only that, but Kimishima handled Pokémon in it's golden era of Gen 1 and Gen 2, so I imagine he'll want Metroid to become a real household name.
>>
>>385079963
>Sakamoto will probably be heavily involved this time

literally confirmed (again) that he has absolutely nothing to do with prime, he just approves if the story falls in line with the universe
>>
>>385076870
>New team

None. Retro got Metroid. Everyone else will try to turn it into Halo or worse...Tomb Raider Reboot.
>>
>>385080997
>New JAPANESE team
What if they really do a good job at proper 3D Metroidvania in third person
>>
>>385078457
>thinks analog stick aiming in an FPS is "normal controls"

dear god, this is the most summer post I've seen in a while
>>
>>385076870
>expectations
amiibo bullshit and another sylux cliffhanger
>>
>>385081883
This. Expecting much else from a Neo-Nintendo failure like this is pure delusion.

>>385080997
The sad thing is the worst case scenario may very well be the one that will happen, seeing as Sakamoto is getting his grubby paws all over the series now.

>>385079971
Correct. But don't expect a Sakamotroid fanboy to understand why this game will be dogshit on a summer sidewalk.

How mad are they really?

>>385077221
Considering how little of a care Neo-Nintendo gives about their IPs, if this year's E3 is any indication, it will probably be Blizzard or Infinity Ward.
>>
I hope it has multiple control options. Traditional controls for console FPS fags of course, but also motion aiming like Corruption and the Trilogy had for Wii. The Switch's right Joy-Con has a gyro built into it that makes this motion sensitive aiming possible and it's actually more accurate than the wii remotes were.

do you faggots not understand?

That's all. Literally Fusion Prime.

REMOVE THE FEDERATION
No Metroid has EVER benefited from their presence in the game.

Prime games are not his turf.
They're Kensuke Tanabe's. Have fun faggots.

>>385083968
Okay. Well enjoy Color Splash Prime 4™!

>>385083968
They are. as far as ken is a producer.
The real question.
Is Mark Pacini Directing?
Better not be fucking Jason Carr
>>
>>385084469
Nope. New team. In Japan.
Retro are doing "something new".
>inb4 DKC Returns 3
>>
>>385084567
So it's going to suck.
With a full japanese team. and no western Director.
