Never been a big fan of Donkey Kong, so im hoping for something new.

sknygy4493d ago

I wouldn't mind Donkey Kong... in something new. But I'm bored of the same template Rare used in the 90s.

I say bring on something entirely new, something unique, which uses the Wii U and Retro's artists abilities to the max!

deafdani4492d ago

A new IP would be nice, for sure.

That being said, I'm totally buying Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze day one. :3

_QQ_4493d ago

Must be for that second team making metroid.

ritsuka6664493d ago

Nope. Retro next game is Donkey kong open world.

_QQ_4493d ago

Thats why i said the second team.

Neonridr4492d ago

where in that article does it say that their next game is a DK one? That article simply speaks about how Retro builds future games off of similar approaches regardless of genre.

No where does it say that Metroid won't be the next game.

deafdani4492d ago (Edited 4492d ago )

Your reading comprehension is funny here. Nowhere in that article you posted do they confirm they are making a 3D DK game, nor a Metroid one, for that matter.

They're all just talking hypothetically.

Geobros4493d ago

I am a big fan of DKC series but ok......I would prefer a hole new Metroid for 3DS!!!! And one for Wii U of course.

Metallox4493d ago (Edited 4493d ago )

A third Donkey Kong Country game?! I kill myself if that happens again.

crusf4493d ago

Why all the Donkey Kong hate? Retro had there run in reviving the metroid series in fantastic fashion so its only fair there creative genius reaches new nintendo IP'S

Geobros4493d ago

We don't hate Donkey Kong but we want something different....If they could make another Donkey Kong and same time a Metroid that would be perfect. But if they develop a title every 3-4 years, I would prefer metroid this time.

jaymart2k4493d ago

I'd love a Donkey Kong 3D World/Land type game. 1st things 1st tho, a new Metroid game.

deafdani4492d ago (Edited 4492d ago )

Funny how you condemn them for the possibility of making a third Donkey Kong game, yet you demand another Metroid, despite the fact that they already made three Metroid Prime games in a row.

Double standards much?

Metallox4492d ago

Donkey Kong Country, I mean. They are just wasting potential making more platformer games. I'd be happy if they make a 3D DK game. I'd prefer Metroid or something new though.

Review: Metroid Prime 4 Beyond On Switch 2 | Digital Foundry

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.

Benn waiting on this game for a lonnnng time.

repsahj165d ago

Yes! And they said that MP4 has top notch HDR effects, if you have a capable Display like OLED or MiniLED.

Neonridr164d ago

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.

repsahj164d ago

I will try first the quality then maybe I will use performance after I unlocked the hardest difficulty.

badz149164d ago

so...it's not 4K60Hz haha. they didn't even mention 1440p which makes this a false advertisement.

repsahj163d ago

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?

Neonridr162d ago

they never said Native 4K. I guess no PS5 title is 4K either then.

not too bright are you there skippy.

badz149154d ago

GT7 is native 4K and so are many sports games. What do you mean none?

Neonridr153d ago

@badz149 - and GT7 is also a cross-gen title. What 1st party Sony title has hit 4K native since?

Gamersunite880164d ago

Tomorrow! It's almost here! After such a long wait!

repsahj163d ago

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.

Gamersunite880163d ago

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.

Metroid Prime Dev "Let Down" As Original Credits Excluded From Remaster

Currently, the original developers are credited via a generic slate.

It's safe to say that it's the original developers who conceptualised and built these games in such a way that they're worthy of a remaster or remake today. Even if they had nothing to do with the new iteration, the dev team behind a remaster would be nowhere without the original vision – and so, the original dev team deserves a place in the credits of a remaster. That's exactly how former Retro studios engineer Zoid Kirsch feels.

Based on the work of the original development team.

That's pretty low..

Double_O_Revan1189d ago

Depending on how long the credits are for the current team, I can see why it would be decided not to essentially double that.

Welshy1188d ago (Edited 1188d ago )

How long or short credits are is irrelevant. Every man or woman who put their time into the creation of anything (tv, movies, animation etc too) should have their names stamped on it, no excuses.

Noone realistically sits and reads every name and actually thanks them, but it's important to the people involved to have it there for what small validation or thanks it brings them. A little thing they can show their friends and family for years to come and feel proud to have contributed to. Kind of like seeing your face for 1 frame in the crowd on TV at a football match and having your own little stamp to show you were there.

Welshy1188d ago

Without those original devs, there is no beloved game to remaster and put new names on. Disappointing Nintendo, do the right thing and patch it in.
