>What do you think the story will be?
Sylux sets up a base on remote planet for samus to blow up
>How do you think the planet/s will look like and what kind of level design will it have?
Given the trend of the last two Prime games, it'll be multiple planets again, with a bit more connectivity than Prime 3
>Do you want to see the ship being playable again?
Yeah, but only if it's more dynamic
>Do you want to see multiplayer again?
Sure, if it isn't halfassed and has good netcode
>Will you buy it?
Of course
>Also when do you think Nintendo's going to reveal more about it?
Not for a while, maybe Summer 2018

Sylux shenanigans, phazon is back in some form judging by the logo
>How do you think the planet/s will look like and what kind of level design will it have?
No fucking clue, maybe a mix of nature and technology like Aether but could really be anything
>Do you want to see the ship being playable again?
Wouldn't mind it

>What do you think the story will be?
The Federation misses the power phazon gave their equipment and creates synthetic phazon. Sylux steals a prototype constructor or something and sets out to hunt Samus.
>How do you think the planet/s will look like and what kind of level design will it have?
Dark, abandoned military base with a black and yellow/green colour scheme. Permanently stormy area around it. Transport vehicles to other sections of the planet and one location in orbit.
Dry, bright scrapyard area with rusted metal and half-functioning equipment
Lush jungle area with treehouses
Underwater base with flooded rooms and lava
>Do you want to see the ship being playable again?
No, it removed the isolation feeling.
>Do you want to see multiplayer again?
Nah
>Will you buy it?
It would require me to buy a Switch. Maybe - it depends on what FE looks like and whether Atlus makes anything.
>Also when do you think Nintendo's going to reveal more about it?
Not until 2018

>How do you think the planet/s will look like and what kind of level design will it have?
Abandoned Federation base where we learn about Sylux a bit more.
Jungle/mine site where Space pirates are up to no good again.
Probably a water-based area.
They said the design will be closer to Prime 1 so more along the lines of that.
>Do you want to see the ship being playable again?
I guess, I hope they keep the Prime 3 ship design

Eh, as long as it doesn't detract from the singleplayer

Next E3 or early 2018

Reminder that the less support you show for 3d titles, the more incentive Nintendo has to go back to the franchises' roots and release actual true to metroid games that sell, unlike shitty feminist sensationalist CoD clones.

I'm happy that it's being developed by a new team, because it means they'll probably do something fresh. As much as I love the original trilogy, I don't want a retread of the same shit.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see bigger, more open areas. They won't be constrained by hardware to chop everything up into little rooms like the original games, but it will be interesting to see if they do that anyway as a design decision. Bigger areas would certainly change the flow of the game a bit.

is the bottom left for Prime 4 or Fed force?

Insider here. I've been trying to research Metroid Prime 4 specifically. It's kind of an odd case.

Nintendo is specifically having certain aspects, like the art and scan logs, outsourced by another studio while the internal team works on the actual gameplay.

My assumption is that they're bringing on critical players from the old days to work on the project, although I can't say for certain who they are just yet. Actual environments look great and really expansive in some ways. You can call your ship in wherever when you're on the surface and have cleared the area of intelligent, hostile life.

Anything new or any suggestions you guys hope to see with beams/grapple? More Samus mechanics that would be good for puzzles/battle.

>>386167214
I'm looking forward to the day where Nintendo realises that just because you have a console that can push polygons it doesn't mean you can't make high-quality 2d art for it. Seeing Samus Returns be revealed as having 3d art was such a disappointment.

>>386167249
Ridley needs to fucking die along with the prime series. Metroid needs a new 2d game like it needs a new villain, enough with your fucking furfag epic space dragon scaly husbando bait shit already.Reoccuring villains that have died several times are a sign of creative bankruptcy and it's apalling as fuck that you're supportive of this character. Ridley doesn't even have any staying charm like Bowser does to make it in any way acceptable to keep bringing back such a generic villain that doesn't even have an interesting attack pattern in any of the games he appears in. Just a bunch of nostalgia pandering because Ridley was the scariest boss monster they could create on the NES.

>>386167325

THANK YOU, JESUS. I thought they would run out of contrived plot excuses for bringing Ridley back a long time ago, but it just kept fucking happening. If they're gonna rehash an old boss, at least bring back Kraid. We haven't seen him in a while.

I'm sure we'll be exploring the ruins of another ancient "Chozo but totally different because they have a different name" race.

>>386167424
How do you not see those Sonic complaints are coming from three distinct groups of people? "I CLAPPED" fags who want mania aren't compatible with boostshit fags which aren't compatible with adventure fags. It's especially obvious since 1-3, adventure+2, and unleashed/generations line up so clearly with the childhoods of three distinct generations.

>What do you think the story will be?
Something about Sylux doing evil stuff.
>How do you think the planet/s will look like and what kind of level design will it have?
I don't know, but all I want is a single location, be it a planet, a moon, or a space station, but with varied and creative environments, coupled with good game design.
>Do you want to see the ship being playable again?
Hell yeah. First I want them to return and improve the Prime formula and introduce new on-foot elements before anything else but I would love to see the ship having more use in future Metroid games. It's one of the most iconic vehicles in all of vidya. We should totally get a Metroid game that were sort of like Arkham Knight but better.

I am not sure, I'm 50/50 for it either being different zones, or different planets. As long as it's executed well, I'm all for whatever they go with, I just want more ecosystems to study with the scan visor and learn about the world(s).

>>386167891
>all I want is a single location

I agree. Multiple locations in Prime 3 was cool, but multiple locations inherently makes everything a little more linear and removes some of the exploration that made me love the first game. Part of what makes Metroid games fun for me is getting to know the world and gradually figuring out how all of the areas interconnect. Even Prime 2 lost some of that by having such a rigidly-defined hub structure.

What are the chances this game will have something to do with the "Monks of Grondheim"?

This has been bugging me ever since I noticed that one log entry in Metroid Prime 1...
https://www.metroidwiki.org/wiki/Monks_of_Grondheim
Who are these monks? And why do they value these red magma crystals so highly? Will we ever get an answer?

>>386168023
By 3 you mean all three prime games? Yeah, I can wholeheartedly agree.

>>386168317
Finally, someone here who makes sense. Fuck multiple locations.

>>386168023
It's weaker than the other two but it's nowhere near garbage.

>>386167705
>I'm sure we'll be exploring the ruins of another ancient "Chozo but totally different because they have a different name" race.
the Luminoth were a great alternative

>>386168403
If there's no Chozo, the Federation better fuck off too.

>>386168235
Small numbers usually come before big numbers, assuming you've never played them before.

Gamecube controls > Wiimote controls, fight me. I'm guessing the new one will have motion aiming, which mite b cool.

>>386168476
I like the Luminoth, but they were basically the exact same concept as the Chozo. They just had slightly different architecture.

>>386168618
My guess is standard shooter controls with gyro for fine-tuning like every other aiming thing Nintendo has done. I'm happy with it so whatever.

>fight me
Gladly, c'mere fgt

>>386168023
It's a 7/10 game in a 9-10/10 series. It's by no means garbage, but it's not fantastic.

>game

>Suit
Gravity or Dark

>Prime 4 Story
I dont know, but an idea I like is that sylux shoots down samus and traps her on a planet. His character is then like SA-X, where he is super powerful and samus is basically on the run from him on this planet (maybe she tries to hide from him and when he finds her she will have to retreat to a surrounding planet)
>Areas
I think we will get areas that mimic the areas in the earlier prime series (lava, snow, swamp, future tech, ruins, etc)
>Playable Ship
Maybe, I wasnt a huge fan of it in 3 but i could get behind it if they changed our interaction with it (maybe we control the ship for a couple smaller sections that involves manually flying and fighting)
>Multiplayer
Sure, I would like multiplayer, but only if it is an afterthought from the single player experience. I would prefer if they maybe made their own stand-alone game
>Buy it
Yes

Some Sylux dumb shit since Tanabe has a boner for him. Also, federation stuff.

Prime 3 style unfortunately. Didn't like the federation involvement, and the way you navigate through planets working for the feds.
It took out the isolation feeling and made you feel that you were in an universe with more people than you. Except the pirate base it didn't feel isolated or hostile.

Do I want Metroid Prime 2 multiplayer? Fuck no. Would the Switch be perfect for a sequel to Hunters? Absolutely. No voice chat aside, a new, multiplayer-focused Hunters game would be super fun. Especially if they decided to put event the slightest amount of effort into balancing it this time.

Still have it preordered but fuck, all that shit about Fusion suit pisses me off. I do hope that Fusion mode is just cosmetic bullshit that we can unlock in the game another way. I do still want those amiibos though, just because I need to have them but I also only have an original 3DS model so I'm fucked there.

>>386165697
You can send the same message (probably much more clearly) by buying the game and then loudly complaining to Nintendo that you want an alternate way of unlocking the amiibo content without buying the amiibos. That way you can act like a victim, who didn't know that the game requires amiibos to unlock all of its content until after you bought it.

>>386171047
That's odd, with Dobson about you'd think that would get inflated too.

Uh... Samus Returns, constantly talks about SR opening the of the potential of the 2D Metroid franchise, talks about wanting to make more 2D Metroid games now, gives hints to Metroid 5 in interviews and with the remodeled Fusion Suit in SR.

>>386171631
Except in this case it's a game series that is on life support and this might be its only chance at getting continued. Most of us want to buy the game to support getting them to make more of them, but we can do that while also voicing non-support of amiibo bullshit.

since Metroid and the Prime sub-series isn't save from getting mobage trash, we should also talk about how they're going to do a Metroid Prime game for Android apps

Is the fusion suit a latex suit or are there metal components because Samus has a super masculine body with developed delts and huge lats. Are there metal bits underneath? It looks fleshy and stuff so I can't tel what the material is.
She even has pecs. Not boobs-pecs.

>>386172585
that doesn't mean shit, there could be a gameplay section at the end like ZM regardless of amiibos. Don't know why people complain about the ZSS bit in ZM, I thought it was fun.

>>386172436
Not him but if Samus Returns does well, we're getting more 2D Metroid games, if Prime 4 does poorly, say goodbye and good riddance to the Prime series. The Metroid Prime series is a sub series of the 2D games.

It means a lot, for the most part, Sakamoto really didn't even want that shit in Other Shit, that tells you something. In a Q&A he stated that the suitless Samus was only playable in Zero Mission because of the Justin Bailey code in Metroid NES, he wanted it to be a throwback.

Yup and that's why it won't be playable in Samus Returns. The Zero Suit gimmick was for Zero Mission and pushed for it. Aeion Abilities, free aiming, and melee counter are being pushed for Samus Returns.

Tallon IV is full of passageways back to old places. Whenever you need to head back, a new one opens up. It's excellent, it makes the world feel like it's actually cohesive rather than a bunch of segregated video game levels.

As much as I would like it, it will lessen the headcanon that Rundas no longer gained conciousness for long enough to impale himself with his own stalgmite.

Also Ghor was already 6% of his original body so that's do-able.

I don't think the Gandrayda one works either, even if her killing pirates is an argument for it

And for Prime 4
>What do you think the story will be?
Sylux is planning on attacking the Galactic Federation using Metroids (and possibly Phazon), so Samus goes out to stop him.
>How do you think the planet/s will look like and what kind of level design will it have?
I'd be fine with another world like Prime 1 (more amorphous) or Prime 2 (more segmented) as long as it's done well. In any case, I'd rather have the game be set on one planet and for that planet to have an interesting lore, backstory, etc.
Personally, I think a water-based planet would be interesting. There'd be plenty of room for new biomes we haven't seen in Metroid games; lush tropical islands, towering amphibious cities, spooky volcanic trenches, and of course, a massive underwater base for Sylux to hide in.
>Do you want to see the ship being playable again?
Personally, I'd rather not see it. The ship in Prime 3 was fun but ultimately a gimmick. I'd be okay with it as a means of fast-travelling around the different areas of the map to cut down on backtracking time, though... As long as it doesn't become a crutch for the devs to lean on so they become lazy with the actual level design.
>Do you want to see multiplayer again?
Only if it was developed by a completely separate team and was totally separated from the single player experience. If it was going to steal any resources that would make the SP better, then it should be scrapped.
>Will you buy it?
Yes
>Also when do you think Nintendo's going to reveal more about it?
E3 2018 at the earliest

>>386176328
Phendrana-Magmoor-Tallon is pretty short. You only need to take that route to get the Space Jump, and it takes you through interesting new rooms.

>>386165697
Come on anon. This is the last chance for the series. If Samus Returns doesn't sell well, forget about any new Metroid on 2D any time soon (and probably for ever)

Prime 4 is the same i think. This is the last chance for the series.

Samus Returns can flop like Zero Mission and Metroid 5 will still happen later on
Metroid Prime 4 sells worse than MP3, Prime 5 will be made 3-4 years later

Good. 2D is garbage and Metroid should be a blockbuster 3D FPA (First person adventure) game from now on just so you faggot subhuman Anti prime shitposters can fuck off.

>>386178146
I feel like the only one who doesn't like Sylux's suit. I like the basic idea of it but something about it just makes it look simplistic and bare compared to the Varia Suit. I think it's partially because Hunters was on the DS. It sorely needs another color.

Hopefully the Prime 4 version is better.

>>386178510
I didn't give a shit whether that garbage killed the Prime series or not, I'm just buying Samus Returns to guarantee that a Metroid 5 is made. I can care less whether Metroid Prime 4 does well or fails.

>>386178620

you don't have to buy anything for a game that's obviously coming REGARDLESS of some redo of Metroid 2.

>>386179513
And that's what makes me so happy. If I'm not able to get SR next month, and it sells really well like over a million or 2 million, I won't buy the game because I really want Metroid 5, I never purchased Zero Mission because it was just a remake.

>>386181224
>and it sells really well like over a million or 2 million

considering the last remake didn't even hit a million and the only games to go over 2 mill are 1/prime 1 that's highly unlikely

Well, Zero Mission was released at the end of the GBA's life cycle with the DS having a lot of hype. Samus Returns doesn't have to worry about that.

I'm thinking that there will be some new odd things now that they are working with such awesome new tech. I bet it will be really amazing seeing as it skipped a generation. I'm expecting some big mechanical engineer environments
>Do you want to see the ship being playable again?
Absolutely, even if it is a carbon copy of 3s ship. The controls in the ship really reinforced the immersion.
>Do you want to see multiplayer again?
God yes. I loved how you could host your own offline games in MPH. I would kill for that with improved AI.

>Also when do you think Nintendo's going to reveal more about it?
Maybe later this year or early next year.

>>386182718
Okay, makes sense. A bigger question is what system will Sakamoto put Metroid 5 on, 3DS or Switch, If Switch manages to hit massive numbers next year it could become a Switch project but if he really wants to utilize the second screen he could make it the last big game on the 3DS.

You can't use fucking circles and lines to signify level design. If you do the same with dark souls and demon's souls, dark souls looks better but in reality the level design of demon's souls is better

Yeah because it's a Prime thread, if it was a 2D Metroid thread, the faggots would start pouring in like in an FPS Halo thread on /v/.

>>386186000
The first Prime has an organic flow to it and, similar to Super, doesn't compartmentalize the game into a bunch of areas. You get the Boost Ball in Phendrana but need to go back to Talon Overworld before you can apply it to proceed. In Echoes you do all the things in Agon Waste then go to Torvus Bog then go to Sanctuary Fortress and don't need to go back until the Sky Temple Keys.

Prime 2's world design is a hub which has no place in a Metroid game.

I haven't played Hunters in well over ten years but from that image it looks like Prime 3 where it functions similarly to a level select with independent areas. Those images only focus on the macro design of the world, so Hunters would probably end up looking very similar to Prime 3.

>>386186545
anti-prime 2D only metroid "fans" are people like Andrew Dobsin and Moviebob, what kind of behavior do you expect from them?

>>386186593
Hunters would literally be the same as Prime 3, but with 1 line instead of several. It's just showing area transitions.

>>386186934

If we're restricted to the Prime series, I have to say the first one. The second and third brought in some interesting ideas, but they also showed signs of creative roadblocks. The first prime was handled just great, aside from the awkward controls. As a first person game, I'll always prefer a keyboard and mouse over any other scheme.

>suit
Either the Dark Suit or the Phazon Suit. It's not everyday you can enjoy being edgy Mccoldsteel with black and red decals all over your body.

annihilator Beam, for sure. Ripping the fabric of reality never felt so good. Ammo limits suck though.

Tallon IV.

Hopefully it won't exist. Video games are for gameplay, not story.

Hopefully one rife with sequence breaking potential.

Have it turn into a robot for certain segments. Maybe a support ally for certain bosses.

Hell no.

It's pretty obvious from watching gameplay that it's a mechanic that is designed to be used quite frequently. It's a 'press X to awesome' without a cool down and enemies blatantly telegraph their moves obviously to encourage use of the move.

If they made the boss good, there wouldn't be a problem. But he barely even attacks Samus half the time, and sets up for obvious counters the other half of the time. At no point should a boss purposely stand still for 5 seconds so you can wail on them endlessly.

I'm new to the series and just finished the Prime Trilogy. Currently I'm suffering through Other M, but I guess that was a mistake. Thinking about just dropping it, at least for now.

I know I pretty much fucked the order I should play Metroid games, but what should I play now? I don't really care about the chronology, just the fun factor. So, Prime Hunters? Zero Mission? AMR2?

As a guy that discovered metroid 2 months ago and has played through all of the 2d games and just finished Prime 2 I'll say that both 2d and 3d are equally as good in terms of level design, music and atmosphere, gameplay and story with Prime being just slightly better in the latter.

I love Metroid games of any kind. 2D or 3D, I don't mind. I just want quality games. Of course, there are issues that actively prevent games from being good, such as the gross over-sexualization of Samus herself.

>haha dude what are you, a fag XDXD

yes yes, get the jokes out of the way. Meanwhile, I want you to tell me why Samus needs to be out of her suit for any longer than the end credits sequence. That's just fluff that's unnecessary in the modern gaming age. Samus needs to be kicking ass and taking names in a fun, videogamey fashion, without excess masturbatory wank fuel put in because Sakamoto has a fetish for helpless damsels who get shot by his self-insert.

But thanks to the Smash community and autists like Dobson and Moviebob, Samus has to be this bimbo slut who undresses every 5 seconds and has "deep emotions". Heaven forbid we have a decently strong female character without her fellating a pole and sucking off every guy in a 5 mile radius.

There's nothing wrong with 2.5D, it's that the art style of Samus Returns is boring as hell. Metroid warrants a unique art style that really highlights the sense of mystique that the alien worlds you navigate in previous Metroid games always had to take you in. I do hope they fix that for Metroid 5.

Super Metroid would be the next logical step after Zero Mission

Playing Metroid Prime on gamecube is perfectly fine to be honest, since dolphin is such a bitch to get working
