Why are people looking forward to Prime 4 when Prime 3 sucked?

Prime 3 didn't suck though

But Prime 3 was great

because it's another metroid game (that isn't a remake)

>>385566423
It did, it was linear as fuck, had very tedious moments like the entirety of the sky planet, especially the part where you had to search for the nuke components. It had forced motion control shit for no reason (par for the course for a wii game) like the grapple. The level design is awful and has mostly mediocre music like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO_nhv1vLgw.

They ruined the feeling of isolation the series is known for by making Samus interact all the time with the Federation and even do joint missions with their troops. The final boss fight is bar none the most disappointing one, especially once you look at the concept art and see what was scrapped.

We haven't had a Metroid game for a decade, of course people are looking forward to it

>>385566891
>We haven't had a Metroid game for a decade
But Other M came out 7 years ago and FF came out last year.

>>385566986
I meant METROID games, not stupid space operas and toy commercials

>>385566423
It was narrative driven with those awful characters that stood in for bosses. It was linear with a level system instead of a connected world. If somehow, those are the quality you look for in a metroid, then sure, I can see how you would like it.

>>385567052
Fusion was a space opera.

>>385567207
I liked

>learning more about the feds
>different planets
>murky plot

Sure you were part of a massive war but Samus still did the things she wanted (unlike Other M), think of it like Batman cooperating with Jim Gordon

Because Corruption was one of the best Metroid games, and even if you hate it Retro isn't involved with 4 so it'll be a new take on the series.

Man I hope it is as good as federation force.

>>385566884
>MUH LINEARITY

Most Metroid games are linear dumb fuck.

>>385569117
No they aren't, they are interconnected and you can sequence break. Prime 3 had segmented, straightforward levels with little exploration as part of the main game.

>>385569228
Metroid Prime 2 was pretty linear as well

>>385569297
Not really? With the light world-dark world mechanic it by default has a shitton more to explore than expected, especially compared to Prime 3.

>>385569365
True but i feel it was more linear compared to the first prime.

>>385568898
This. Prime 4 will be just shit, don't bother with it.

>>385568614
Or the realistic truth:

>Modern AAA game design continues to get progressively worse, therefore, Metroid Prime 4 will necessarily suck.

>>385569365
>shitton more to explore than expected,

Ok? It was still linear. All the Prime Games are linear, fusion is linear and the games since have been linear. Only non linear games are 1 and super

>>385569545
>Ok? It was still linear.
No, read >>385569228

>>385568898
>>385569463
This. I don't know why people are hyping this shitty Prime 4 when we have full precedent that it will suck hard.

Seriously there's a reason why there's no replies against these posts. It's because we all know it will suck.

>metroid is dead..Nintendo will never release more games. Oh woe is me.
>Nintendo announces 2 metroid games
>they're going to be shit
I fucking hate every lowly piece of human garbage on this board

>>385569715

Fuck off.

>>385568614
>>Prime 4 will suck because Retro isn't developing it.
When did I say this? And how am I a shitposter?

>>385566146
>Why do people look forward to Metroid Prime.
Because Prime was their first Metroid game and all they have is non stop nostalgia, similar to Super being others first Metroid game.

In the long run, Nintendo is only wheeling out this series dead corpse because they want your money, they have no care for it, no passion, and no drive, if they did, they would have given a celebration to Metroid along with their other titles.

Just like F-Zero, they will wheel its dead corpse out when its time for some cash, and right now its all about NOSTALGIA for at least one more year before its REMEMBER THE 2000's!
oh...wait...thats what Prime is...Nintendo really is AHEAD OF THE GAME!

anyway, dosent matter, its got a 2019 release date, you'll see gameplay next year at E3, then release in 2019 or 2020, expect the open world Zelda treatment with dungeon crawling.

>>385569545
>All the prime games are linear
Looks like someone doesn't know how to get the space jump boots early.

>>385566146
Retro not making it; that's good enough for me.

>>385569920
>Nintendo is only wheeling out this series dead corpse because they want your money
And why would they do that if the series is dead and thus less profitable than other options?

>>385570010
The head of Prime 4 (Kensuke Tanabe) was also part of Federation Force, and we all know how that turned out.

Metroid fans are the Sonic fanbase of Nintendo IPs, for more than a decade they've been getting shit after shit yet they still blindly hype up the next game thinking it's gonna be good this time.

Could you BE any more wrong?

>>385572164
Yes, significantly. For example:

"Super Metroid is better than Prime 3"

is a vastly less correct statement.

>>385570140
Not to mention Color Splash.

Prime 4 is literally going to be the gimmickiest shit.

>>385566146
Prime 3 was a good game in its own right, and Retro isn't making 4 anyway.

>>385566146
For all the idiots saying Metroid games have always been linear to defend Prime 3.

There's a difference between linear progression, and linear design. All the Metroid games and most games in general have linear progression. However, the level design in Super Metroid, Prime 1, Prime 2, etc... is NOT linear, and they encourage and reward exploration and experimentation.. Contrary to Prime 3 which had both linear progression and level design.

That's not to say Linear level design can't work, Fusion did it just fine. Problem with Prime 3 however is that bit botched a lot of other things in the process as well, ruining what Metroid was loved for. Its biggest sin was trying to turn Metroid, into Halo.

Prime 3 sucked, not as much as Other M, but it still sucked nonetheless.

can't be worse than prime 2 was

>>385573096
You are a fool. A foolish fool.

>>385573096
(you)


Something along the lines of Prime 2 is the only reason I'd even consider playing Prime 4.

>>385573250
>wanting another super linear metroid with zelda style temples, bland environments, terrible bossfights, backtracking cranked up to 11 and some of the worst new powerups ever introduced to the series
yeah me too, maybe prime 4 will have 3 versions of the same level instead of just 2

>>385573597
>Prime 2 was linear

This is how I know you're full of shit

>terrible bosses
The game with the two most memorable bosses in the Prime Trilogy: Quadraxis, and the Dark Samus encounters.

Now I know you're just a meming fag. Just admit you couldn't beat it cause it was too hard for you and that you preferred Haloid Prime 3 instead.

>>385572894
Fucking this. Glad to see /v/ waking up to how trash this will be.

>>385573075

Why exactly is Corruption Halo, just because you interact with soldiers who look like Master Chief? Now that's bullshit.

You still play all the game as only Samus and use most of her moveset into platforming, combat and finding lore, the linear level design is better than it was in Fusion, and I'm not saying Fusion was bad either. Linear Metroid games can be still be fun but it's the desirable formula.

>>385569715
I know, bipolar fucks are acting like 2 different people or something

>>385576614

*its's not the desirable formula.

It's gonna be shit, Prime 1 was god tier but 2 and 3 were full of fucking terrible design choices.

>>385572894

>headed by a man that wants to infuse gimmicks into everything he touches

who?

>>385576718
This. The only reasonable move here is to boycott this shit. Everyone is waking up to this scam thank fuck

>>385566146

It was the worst of the Primes, certainly more linear and cinematic than the two games that came before it, but I think it was good enough to hold water and close the trilogy out without tarnishing its legacy. That said, for that very reason I'm apprehensive about Prime 4, not excited. Prime 3 was already stretching the series' goodwill a bit but it came out intact and wrapped everything up that needed wrapping up with a neat little bow. A Prime 4 was never necessary, 3's secret ending be damned, and I'm scared that they'll fuck it up. I want a new Metroid but call it anything else, please. Well, maybe not Other M 2, but anything else aside from that.

Is this a LARP thread?

>Prime series ended, literally no reason for this to be called Prime 4
Corruption literally ends on sequel bait.

>>385576875
I agree. Metroid is a dead series that Nintendo should have keep in the grave.

>>385576718

2 was a fantastic game, though. Its biggest sin were drab, lacking location variety, reskinned beams and a couple of casual filter bosses that weren't even that bad. Design-wise it was fine, especially once you got the Dark Suit.

>>385577116
Glad you agree. Fortunately that is confirm to happen now that MSR is being boycotted to shit.
