Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (2025)

[SmallWars]

I still haven't played 3. But looking forward to this regardless.

On a sidenote, anyone remember MP: Hunters from the DS days? That online multiplayer was lit and had an awesome community. The maps, characters and whole game was amazing.

Wasn’t Bandai Namco the development team for this originally.Damn I wonder what happened during development?

And is that rumored StarFox racing game done by another team at retro or some other dev?

I guess this means we won’t be seeing this anytime soon

Update:



The game has restarted development and is now being developed by Retro Studios.

It's gonna be a loooong time before we see this game.

Oh well. There's plenty of other games to play in the meantime.

I wanna see what they had in development to make Nintendo throw the whole game away and start from scratch.

 

[ThisWorldAintRight]

Good news is that it's Retro. They made the best Metroid games.

For real breh you know this shyt had to be trash for Nintendo to be sohh transparent about it

 

[$$$HotBoyRonald$$$]

At least Nintendo apologizes about it...

Square Enix would just say everything is fine and release the game half finished 10 years later.

 

[PikaDaDon]

Damn. They've restarted development FROM SCRATCH:

Metroid Prime 4 development restarted at Retro Studios - Gematsu

It was rumored that Namco Bandai was working on the game. I guess whatever they made wasn't up to Nintendo's standard so they have to rebuild everything.

 

[THE 101]

People will complain, but I give Nintendo props for not short changing gamers, and making sure the product is thorough.

Likely not as bad as some would think.

This seems like a Mass Effect Andromeda situation where they handed the game off to a team that wasn't fit for the job. They decided it was best to just take the L and flush that time and money invested down the toilet, as opposed to EA who were desperate to make a return and released the game anyway despite red flags being everywhere. And I think it's likely the original MP4 is probably not a particularly bad game but like Andromeda, it's just well below the standards of what was released previously. MP4 cannot be anything less than a GOTG candidate for the franchise to thrive. It can't be just so-so like Andromeda was

Nomura a master of the art of finesse. Can't believe anyone takes what that man says seriously

Yeah, any developer would have said "Game is going great we'll update you soon." and then release the game shytty as fukk 15 years later. (lookin at you 3D Realms)

 

[Microfracture]

fukk giving them props they kept up this trash trend of announcing a game years and years from release. If your game comes out in 2021 stop teasing the shyt in 2017

 

[Apollo Kid]

I don't mind the delay and Retro taking it over is good news.

You are absolutely correct, developing games is easy and they don't run into problems during development at all, fukk them and their mishaps.
