Yeah. #FE was alright for what it was and should definitely get a Switch port but W101 is quite literally the best Wii U game and it's a crime that it hasn't been given a new life on the Switch.

Multiple people hinting at Metroid Prime 4 being at The Game Awards?

This 30/60fps discussion reminds me that I'm actually quite worried for the quality of this upcoming Metroid, as retro ain't doing it. I really hope they don't fuck this up. As far as I'm concerned, 30fps would a significant let down and certainly not a good look when compared to the previous titles.
We'll see in 10 days now.

Please, for the love of god, no high heels, no federation, no Sylux and no multiplayer focus. That stuff just doesn't work in Metroid. Save that for a spin-off.
I don't remember what it was about, but I remember him going all in on a leak of some sort, that got proven false, only for him to double down and make a fool of himself.
Don't pay any attention to him. Seriously.
Pretty sure it was about what the Switch is and it's specs. I think what kind of chip it was using or something.
Seems like he never did, but it got picked up because that's what happens with bad translations

They did the SotC remake, right? I played through that earlier this year and was thoroughly impressed.
Yeah and some of the key staff there actually worked on Metroid Prime lol. It would be like poetry.
Yeah I saw that, one of the few UE4 fan projects that actually don't completely ruin the art. Still a bit too realistic looking for my tastes.
Sylux should be fine if he serves a similar role as Dark Samus in Echoes.
I think Sylux has a lot of potential. I'm interested to see his inevitable redesign.
You don't liek the role it played in the games? Prime 2's implementation was fantastic imo, her bossfights were fun and she was actually somewhat intimidating at times.
The whole concept of her actually being Metroid Prime is great.
Thing is, if they bring back Sylux, then where in the timeline does that place the game?
I know many here won't care but part of what I loved about the prime games growing up was how the lore all fit together and told stories not only of each and every planet you went to, but also of the history of the chozo and the luminoth and the battles between samus and the space pirates, as well as the federation.
It's the kind of storybuilding people praise in Souls games, and I think that it's part of Metroid Prime's DNA.
I really hope expanding the scope to include Sylux and his grudge with the federation doesn't ruin that.

I actually like that part, but the character design and the idea of an "evil twin" character just never did it for me, especially since the latter had already been done better (IMO) in another Metroid game. I love the more organic, grotesque and mechanical enemies in Metroid games, like the Parasite Queen, Quadraxis, Draygon, or Mother Brain.
He's a humanoid boss fight if anything. And those tend to be pretty cool!
But yeah, he doesn't need to be this vocal, constantly in your face antagonist or anything. More like just a malicious force on the planet that Samus has to deal with. Maybe throw in a bit of cat and mouse with them hunting each other. I have no attachment to Sylux (never even played Hunters), but the concept of hunter vs hunter could be very tense and intimate if they pull it off right.
Edit - the harder they lean into the SA-X with Sylux, the better
I need the Trilogy remaster and Prime 4. At least with the announcement of the first one, or a new trailer of the second, I will be happy.
Spawn Wave is also a mod here? I didn't know that! You both are awesome!!

I mean, SA-X is definetely a better "evil twin" than Dark Samus, but I think that it's mainly because of how each developer executed their respective idea, not necessarily because one is conceptually better/superior than other.
SA-X was used to instill fear in every corner, while Dark Samus is more of a combat-counter in that regard. In the end, I think both were well and fully realized in their own unique ways.
Oh on paper it sounds lame as hell, but the way they managed to make her existence at the end of Prime 1 plausibe and managed to develop her as a threat over 3 games was done pretty well imo. Of course SA-X was damn good too. Fusion is also way creepier than any Prime game outside of maybe 2 at some points. 3's tone went downhill sadly.
You could argue Dark Samus is organic, seeking for a body and the way her homeplanet invades other planets.
Agreed 100% - SA-X was awesome and terrifying.
Having points in the story such as at the beginning where Sylux is legitimately more powerful to the point where Samus would have to avoid him or hide would be a good touch, I think.
lol
Nate is Direct-Feed. They are both the same person. One and only. And they are both mods here.
The other is Jon, who is an entirely new person. And also a mod.
It's very difficult for it to lean towards SA-X, that could one-hit kill Samus. Sylux, and the other NDS hunters, were built as rivals and having Sylux be much stronger than Samus would feel weird, considering she already got the best of him in the past.
One of the cool things , in theory, about Prime: Hunters is that if you lost to a hunter, you lose one of the "key" items of the game and has hunt it again (again, theory. In practice, their AI was too weak to challenge you). I would like to see Samus arriving into a room in order to obtain a upgrade or key item, only to turn out that it was already stolen by Sylux or another hunter, and you have to hunt him down, possibly by looking for clues/trail using the scan visor and other visors, like in the Arkham Games.
OK, I misunderstood it. I saw Spawn Wave and Direct Feed Games in the OP. I knew Nate Drake is Direct Feed Games, and so I concluded the other mod was Spawn Wave.
I have already checked out about Jon, and found he's from GameXplain. I didn't know this.
I feel ridiculous right now.
C'mon... don't need to feel this way. I was just messing with ya
Sorry
That's how i imagined they would do it. With him being sort of the stalker type, following Samus around on her missions and trying to take her out when she's not expecting. I really don't think they need to give him any dialogue at all.
Well considering that the OP is about Nate hinting at Metroid. And he came into this thread and didn't deny it.... do you need any more hints?So do any of these mods or sites have any other hints they'd like to throw us?

It'd be helpful if Nate could tell us if we should expect Only Metroid Prime 4 or both Metroid Prime 4 and Metroid Prime Trilogy
People bought the triology, but thats obviously not what I am talking about.
I am talking about the possibility that a boring triology could hurt sales of a new game. And MP1 & MP2 could be boring for newcomers and make them not buy MP4.
I really hope we get to see like 5-10 seconds of gameplay atleast. Maybe Samus can run in a straight line and everyone will assume it's a Metroid Run game.
"Ugh, Samus was in morph ball for like 20%. Is it possible that Prime 4 is a pinball game??"
I would take it and enjoy it. The pinball game on DS was cool as heck.
I'd argue that Prime 3 is the creepiest in the trilogy just because of the two locations below:
-The abandoned Metroid facility in SkyTown
-The derelict GFS Valhalla
Hunters was a legitimately excellent multiplayer shooter with KBM-like controls, great characters and well-designed environments. Thing is, while Sylux was neat, so were the other hunters (my favorite being Trace), so it's intriguing to me that Sylux lived on but the others appear to have been forgotten.
...unless they all appear in MP4, which would be incredible, come to think of it.
Well now I can go back to expecting Wind Waker HD next year.
I
I'm sorry, but that's just not Metroid. Metroid is all about isolation and atmosphere. It's a beautifully eerie and lonely experience. Honestly, the only thing that I would agree with is the dual-analog/motion + lock-on controls.
Imagine if this one involved Samus doing actual bounty hunting lol.
A cross between this:
And this:
Would be amazing
I hope we get a little gameplay. I'm not expecting much from that because I could see Nintendo saving it for E3.
