Reggie said Nintendo has a launch window set for Prime 4, couldn't say the date yet
- Thread starter ClickyCal'
- Start date
I know they've lost a bunch of the top level talent since the Metroid days, but the studio must have retained some of the culture and knowledge since they've continued to put out quality games.
1. We don't have official confirmation on their involvement, though it does look likely, 2. Wasn't the rumour updated to say that Bamco Japan was leading the development?
It does sound more like we're going to see a trailer at the Game Awards. My guess is either late 2019 or March 2020.
You stealthly confirmed a trailer for Metroid Prime 4 at TGA. You know it!!!
Also a demo.
End of 2019 x the second big holiday game next to Pokémon
Or they might be shook no one will buy Metroid with Pokémon out
Or they might be shook no one will buy Metroid with Pokémon out
The massive disappointment around here if they're not showing MP4 or Bayo3 or the RetroStudios game at TGA could be something else LOL
Retro project reveal: Fucking Donkey Kong 3D, GTA clone, 18+.
The game you announced 17 months ago is well in development? That's a shocker. I thought they would have waited a few more years after the announcement to really begin development.
Metroid Prime's original team is scattered between multiple studios. It was never going to happen.
Also, consider that Retro Studios were a garbage fire studio when they began working on Prime, who had to be whipped into shape by Nintendo before they began pushing gold. They've done similar such attitude adjustments to Next Level Games and MercurySteam, who outside of Nintendo collaborations are usually pushing out mediocrity.
How good Prime 4 will be doesn't just boil down to the choice of studio. The people orchestrating it need the right vision for it.

OP
It's an absolute no brainer to reveal Prime 4 there, which is kinda why I think Nintendo won't lol
As opposed to Retros no games before MP1? You forget Nintendo is heading this. Depending on the level of control/delegation of duties the studios' involvement could be anything from just technical dev work to actively contributing to the game's design
Don't!
You already promised us a trailer.
Don't back down on your promises.
I'm stupidly excited for this. If they nail the atmosphere of the original trilogy then, I'll be very happy indeed. It's been way too long.
Hmm...5 periods, then 3, then 4...what could it mean??
OMG Prime 4 releasing in 534 days!!!
Retro moved onto other projects, which I can't really fault them for when they did three games back-to-back and each time was a nail biter in terms of project management. That, and losing talent to both Bluepoint and Armature couldn't have helped them out much in the long run if they did ever want to go back to it.
They had nothing when they announced it, just a old logo so I think that makes sense
Don't tell the gamers, the realities of development confuses them.
This is a misunderstanding of how Nintendo operates now. Sorry if I sound dismissive, I am sure they are talented in their own right, but Bandai Namco is like the people you contract to Physically build a house and nail it together. nintendo (sakamoto or tabata) does the civil engineering, architecture, project management, and so on.
Rétro Studios was a newbie studio with only a handful of canceled flukes on their backs, but Nintendo saw potential and gave them good management, and turned them into a studio that has only made masterpieces.
Retro Studios was a mess and didn't have anything going for it.
3 sets of ellipses each with different amounts of dots..
5 dots, 3 dots, then 4 dots. May 34th release date confirmed!
I don't think theyy atrted developing after they announced it.
I think they will show Fire Emblem at TGA.
Or maybe a TW101 and TW102? (Kinda like last year with Bayonetta)
