And it could give us some idea of what he wants to do with the game.
It's not exactly guaranteed to hold up considering it's like five years old now.īut it is the same interview where he confirmed Sylux.
Metroid prime 4 first announcement series#
It could've been amazing, but it ended up being just okay.Īll that said, there was an old interview with the series producer mentioning he might want to do something similar to Prime 2 again. What if you had to enter Torvus in the dark world first, before find the light world portal a few rooms in. Like dark versions of the elevators, so you actually had interconnected areas. Imagine how much cooler it would've been if there was more long term travel in the dark world. Metroid Prime 4 finally has a shot to make it big time. Metroid Prime 2 sales got destroyed by the Wii hype and Metroid Prime 3 was on a casual focused console and tried to appeal to a bigger audience with worse results. I'm guessing that any time they couldn't get a dark world variant of a room done, they just dropped one of those "ingworm" walls where a door would normally be and called it. The Gamecube didnt sell very many units, and Metroid Prime still managed to be a pretty big hit. Like maybe a third at best, with most of it just being single rooms you only ever visit for a puzzle.Īnd it was likely because of the time crunch. It was way less than half of the world map. It was such a cool concept, but the way it was pulled off made it almost pointless. But it didn't have the whole mess from the first game, going back and forth through Magmoor into Phendrana multiple times. More interconnected paths between areas, that weren't blocked off by one of the last major items you get, would've helped out immensely. The backtracking could've been done less messy.
Enemies weren't usually overly tanky, like in Prime 3, but they dealt a lot of damage and had decent variety with their attack patterns. It was a genuinely hard game, but in a fair way for the most part. The way they handled the difficulty was great, except for those specific two bosses we all know and hate.
And I think it's the closest the series has ever come to horror, besides maybe Fusion. Fighting scarier beefier possessed versions of normal enemies was always fun. Metroid Prime 4 returns to the first-person adventure roots of the original and introduces a new storyline that ties together the events of the Metroid. Thematically and visually, it was the coolest. I still say Prime 2 was the best in the series.
