No Metroid Prime 4 info at E3 again - are you concerned?

We're not going to be hearing or seeing this game before 2021, considering they just scrapped everything
As people have stated its only just started development after switching to Retro. So no, not yet.
I don't expect to hear about it next E3 either. And honestly, I'm not 100% on hearing about it the E3 after that. I definitely expect it at E3 2022 though.
And I'm not joking, they just started! I would have been shocked to hear about it this year. In fact, hearing about it this early might be a mistake.

What did you want, they announced that they were restarting development with a new studio <6 months ago. There's probably even less than what we got from the new Zelda game.
It would be a shame if that direct was the last time we heard about anything Metroid or Retro related until they start talking about MP4 again though.

Don't expect Prime 4 news for a long time.
Admittedly I would like to see news about an HD Prime Trilogy...

Lol this. It was very recently rebooted. Don't expect to see it until like 2022.
It began development again a few months ago, they even said they will start from scratch. What were you expecting lol.
What I'm concerned about though is Retro seriously not having a single game finished in the last 5 years and seemingly had everything scrapped before Metroid came to them. I hope morale at the studio isn't low. I know my morale would be if I worked on stuff for 5 years that never saw publication.

This was only 5 months ago. No one should have expected anything Metroid Prime 4 to be shown this year
I'd be far more troubled if they did show anything. E3 presentations cost time, money, and often misrepresent what the game will be down the line anyway. Showing something this early wouldn't do anyone any favors.
What? No, that game very recently started development fresh with a new dev. I'm not sure it'll be there next year even.
Is this a joke? It was just rebooted. Who in their right mind would expect it to be shown so soon?!
Of course not. They just explained to us what was going on to set expectations. No one should have expected info this E3.
For real. The game isn't coming out for like four years, and who knows if longer given the state of Retro Studios. It will probably end up as a Switch 2 launch title or cross gen.
I'm worried about Retro in general, as it is increasingly likely that they have failed at everything they tried in the past 5 years.
But not having any Metroid info during E3 is "normal" if the game was recently rebooted. What we are way overdue is info on a Retro game.

I thought there'd be more Nintendo games overall with them only developing for one system now. That was kind of their selling point with Switch initially. It doesn't seem like that's the case? I wish that'd still make smaller games from teams that would have been making 3DS games.
