Retro Studios' Next Big Project?

NLife:
"A new Twitter account has piqued the interest of Alex, but can all his predictions come true?"

jcnba284107d ago

I tweeted Retro Studios the other day saying "Metroid Prime 4 please!" Five minutes later I got a message saying that Retro Studios is now following me on Twitter. Does this mean anything? Not so sure but it does make you wonder what they're working on now.

Moonman4107d ago

Thanks for sharing! Cool of them to do that.

"Does this mean anything?"

They also started to follow a bunch of hotels and restaurants. Make a guess...

Metroid Prime 4 would be cool. I'd rather them try a new genre, though. We've had 2X side-scroller, First-Person Adventure, and Pinball. How about RPG, Fighting, or Visual Novel? If we can get Pinball those shouldn't be a stretch at all.

M3TR01DFANBOY4107d ago

Retro didn't make Metroid prime pinball if thats what you're implying.

Concertoine4106d ago

I cant possibly imagine why youd want one of the most esteemed and talented studios in the industry to make a visual novel.

Retro studios joint effort with game freak to create Pokemon MMO...Pikaboo

Coachkeys4107d ago

They could be gearing up for a q2 2016 release of prime 4. The prime trilogy alone is enough hype for the next year to see this kind of release. Top it off with an E3 teaser.... bah there I go dreaming again! Kick me.

A new Metroid, really hope so, in the future they could develop a Donkey Kong, but a 3D platformer this time.
But right now, the majority of Wii U owners want a new Metroid.

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.

repsahj135d ago

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

Neonridr134d 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.

repsahj134d ago

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

badz149134d ago

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

repsahj133d 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?

Neonridr132d ago

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

not too bright are you there skippy.

badz149123d ago

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

Neonridr123d ago

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

Gamersunite880134d ago

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

repsahj133d 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.

Gamersunite880133d 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_Revan1158d 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.

Welshy1158d ago (Edited 1158d 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.

Welshy1158d 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.
