It's been years since the Metroid Series took its first step into 3D space. With an extra axis came one of the GameCube's strongest titles. It was well loved then, but even today, Metroid Prime, developed here in the States by Retro Studios, brings something fresh to the table, a table now inhabited by games that often forget that game environments should be just as active and alive in a game's narrative as the protagonist herself.
Retro Studios has built incredible atmosphere, puzzle-solving and environmental diversity. Based on the length of the development cycle, we must assume it's designed primarily around the limits of Switch 1 (we have yet to see that version of the game) so the strategy for Switch 2 is seemingly to supercharge a good-looking game to run and feel even better.
Yes! And they said that MP4 has top notch HDR effects, if you have a capable Display like OLED or MiniLED.
man this review makes me so hyped for the game now. Really happy with the overall presentation here. Now I'm debating running the game in performance mode since it looks like only the resolution takes a hit while everything else remains the same. 120fps is tempting.
I will try first the quality then maybe I will use performance after I unlocked the hardest difficulty.
so...it's not 4K60Hz haha. they didn't even mention 1440p which makes this a false advertisement.
How did it become false advertising? The game is still being displayed as 4k @ 60 right? They didn't say anything about "NATIVE" 4k @ 60.
Even Naughty Dog said that The Last of Us part 1 is 4k@60 performance mode even though it's also 1440P upscaled, right?
they never said Native 4K. I guess no PS5 title is 4K either then.
not too bright are you there skippy.
My copy arrived earlier today together with my pre ordered AC Shadows that got delayed 2 days as expected delivery! Now I don't know what to play at first, but decided to finish MP4 first.
That's awesome! Prime 4 has been my most anticipated game for years and it's finally out. I can't wait to tear into it.
Leaked gameplay footage from Nintendo and Retro Studios' canceled project titled 'Harmony' has found its way online.
Metroid Prime is a detective game at heart, and the Scan Visor is Samus' trusty magnifying glass.
