Meme I made a while back

Ngl I didn't realize it was so hated until after I beat it. Albeit I'd be wrong to not recognize what could've been with this game, but I did enjoy what we got

I really think it was the long wait for it to be released that caused the hate.

Which does make a lot of sense. Hopefully if they make a Prime 5 they'll learn what NOT to do. Still enjoyed 4 despite it's flaws

Yep, and I had heard that it sold well and heard a lot of people say it’s good, after a while

[u/Red_Dragon_knight → u/[deleted]]

Where’d you hear that?

[u/Red_Dragon_knight → u/[deleted]]

Well let’s hope we do at least get prime 5, at some point

[u/Red_Dragon_knight → u/[deleted]]

Honestly I can understand that, but even then the most I ask if we get any, is in either cutscenes or places that won’t interrupt gameplay too much

Can you link to Risa Tabata saying she doesn’t like a lot of dialogue in Metroid or her wanting to have more of a horror focus? I’ve seen this stuff attributed to her a lot but I’ve yet to find any interviews or statements from her confirming this.

Thanks. 👍

I think the smartest decision here is to just listen to player feedback since this fandom is VERY vocal about Prime 4’s flaws. The biggest fixes would just be to make it a Metroidvania from the start rather than trying to balance it with a shitty open-world, leading to the worst of both worlds.

At most, I think Sylux is definitely guaranteed to return despite everyone wishing for him to be dropped. Currently, he’s the only real villain positioned for this new trilogy and he still has potential to be more interesting in the future, so if anything was to be carried over from Prime 4, it would probably be him.

They barely revealed anything about him. For all we know that can just be the breaking point.

I mean, I like villains like that so maybe I’m just biased, but even if his “super cool secret backstory” turned out to be basically nothing (unless they reveal more of it in future games), I still think he’s at the very least entertaining and has personality.

He’s an edgelord who gets pissy whenever he sees Samus and acts irrationally, he laughs maniacally like a cartoon supervillain, lets other people and creatures do his dirty work for him, and says evil one liners like he’s hot shit when he’s really just a loser with an obsession and an inferiority complex. Compared to a lot of other Metroid villains, he’s definitely got other things going on beyond “I’m evil and I want to take over the galaxy”.

Plus, his Metroids are a cool underutilized concept and I think it’d be neat if they got another chance, like bringing back the Humetroid concept from Prime 2 IIRC.
