Metroid Prime 4 Ideas and Wishlist

[@tinotcg5815]

Sound design and atmosphere is going to be so important. Honestly I wouldn't be mad if it came out in 2020 they should take their time.

[@samy29987]

Yeah, that aspect of the game is key. Prime 1 not only made the experience memorable due to its atmosphere, but the themes of every area, sub-area and boss fights were just so memorable and stand on its own even today. Kenji Yamamoto must be rehired if possible so Prime 4 has its unique tracks and not remixes of previois tunes. Metroid games's atmosphere should be top 3 priorities when developing a game. Hopefully its awesome.

I hope Samus doesn't stay a mute forever. I'm not saying she's required to talk, but she's been a talking character since Super Metroid, yet Nintendo has flip flopped on whether they actually want her to talk or not for eons. It was kind of weird for plenty of people to talk at Samus in Prime 3, but Samus herself remained silent.

[@samy29987]

It would be an interesting feature if Samus talked and was voice acted, but control, art style, level design and atmosphere should be top 4 priorities imho.

[@samy29987]

One of the things that I would like to see (aside from the obvious and most necessary ones like great level design, sound design, atmosphere and controls) is more options in both controls and gameplay features. If you want to play with motion controls or standard or double analog, you can totally do it. And regarding features, it would be cool that there are tons of upgrades the player can use that aren't mandatory that enhances the experience if the player decides to explore the world in its entirety. New miscellaneous, beams, suit upgrades, visors, etc that add to the experience and replayability. Just my two cents.

[@jimmyjohnjoejr]

Yes thank you! We need more optional upgrades. I would love to see upgrades that directly enhance beams, but also have multiple beams. Like if Prime 1 had an optional, stronger upgrade for each of the power, wave, plasma, and wave beams.

[@samy29987]

@@jimmyjohnjoejr That is a very nice idea. Anything that improves and opens up gameplay is welcomed. But the player needs to explore the world to find said upgrades. And not just by scanning a wall, I mean entire caves that are very well hidden behind puzzles or other mechanisms.

[@Orasaki]

another cool thing would be after the events of prime 3 the space pirates split into two factions and are now fighting amongst themselves for control, some of the pirates will assist samus (since the opposing faction is supporting sylux who samus is after) but they try not to explicitly interact with samus either since she is technically not a friend either.

One major loose end in the Prime series is what happened to all the Metroids that the Pirates were keeping? By the time of Metroid II, the only Metroids left were the ones on SR-388, but the Pirates were breeding them. Many probably died when Phaaze was destroyed but not all of their metroids were phazon infused. What about the ones on Tallon IV or Aether? I hope Prime 4 clears this up. Seems like Sylux has an interest in the Metroids so maybe we'll get an answer

[@axelkusanagi4139]

I want more involvement with the ship. And for the suit upgrades to make gameplay completely different. Like a lighter suit that made traversal easier or a heavy suit that gave her more hp and firepower, but made it so you could only hover for a short time.

[@fleshmolotov3293]

The atmosphere of Metroid prime 2, mechanics and ability to sequence break of super metroid, character development and inner dialogue of fusion, the varied and vast maps of Metroid prime 1, vastly improved graphics like prime 3 but even more beefed up and stronker. All of those and a myriad of new and various tools to solve puzzles and blast creatures sounds like the perfect game.

[@analternatecroc8374]

Hey, not all the music in Samus Returns was just atmospheric. All the boss themes are really great. Plus, that remix of Lower Norfare is wonderful. If you can't tell, Samus Returns is the only Metroid game I've ever played, although I have played Hollow Knight, which, in my opinion, is the best example of Metroidvania out there, ever so slightly above Super Metroid. Also, I got a SNES classic recently, but have been to distracted by Earthbound and Zelda to really play Super

Unlocks the Spiky version of the suit. M2SR Metroid: Recharge 20 Super Missiles and 20 Power Bombs. Unlocks the Fusion suit (Harder, and the color scheme mimics the changes in Fusion) SSB Ridley: Shows you all the destructible blocks in the area. Unlocks the Double Charged Beam. SSB Dark Samus: Kills all normal enemies in the area. Unlocks the Hypermode.

[@johnnydarling8021]

5:20 Did you know, Retro had intended for Metroid Prime 3 to have a more Open World mechanic, with Samus using her ship to travel to various planets (more than we got in the final game) but it was ultimately cut. Given that Retro was reformed (with as many of the original staff as possible) for the express purpose of making Metroid Prime 4, it wouldn’t surprise me if some of these old ideas came back in some way. Personally, I imagine an Open World Overworld of a single planet, that lets you go in whatever direction you choose, and taking on different areas in a non-linear fashion (like Breath of the Wild) with each Boss giving you a new power that (among other things, let’s you explore more of the map (more in line with traditional Metroidvania) but which powers you get are based on which area you chose to go first.

[@FoxsDumbSeriesMaker]

[@kai_824]

I want The game to be more atmospheric then the other 3 Prime games. Also I want Kraid to finally appear in 3D.

[@genobreaker1054]

Open world would be counter to it being Metroidvania. Personally, I liked the play style (and basically only that) of Other M which gave a 3D environment with mostly sidescrolling old school. Loved that so much I overlooked the many flaws of the game for quite a while. That said, I understand this is a Prime game. I just don't prefer FPS Metroid. Maybe that's just me. Now, I do agree with a lot of your points, and would to love more suitless Samus and hidden abilities and upgrades. Would love to see crystal flash make a return, I liked sense move from Other M (made Samus feel more badass, though it was pretty broken), and sound design in a new Metroid title is a MUST. They have no excuses for reusing previous tracs or remixing anything but title screen, load music, and MAYBE the best classics (like lower Norfair from Super).

[@jimmyjohnjoejr]

I personally wouldn't mind if Prime 4 was a TPS game. Maybe that way you wouldn't have to wait every time you go in and out of morph ball, morphing could just take a split second.. But I wouldn't want it to be like other M.

[@jimmyjohnjoejr]

@@obsetube1725 I would mainly want it to be third person because A) morph ball could happen instantly B) The HUD being part of samus' visor is a novel idea, but all of those unnecessary blue lines and shapes really clutter the screen. Either simplify the HUD or make it third person, where the HUD is forced to be more simple.

Expanding on that idea of having prime 4’s world be like Link Between Worlds: have a central area that acts as a hub between other areas, which also contains abilities that open up other areas, but have some of these abilities be closed off by abilities found in other areas. Have a pattern where you find an ability in the hub which opens up the next area, and then have an ability in the next area that opens up the way to a new ability in the hub. Rinse and repeat

[@demi-fiendoftime3825]

Thing I'm hoping for in Prime 4 is Gameplay more like the first 2 less like Prime 3 as I'm not a fan of it's more linear regular FPS nature and stacking beams. My biggest dream would be 3 worlds you can complete in any order and are the size of Tallon IV and Aether with new power ups, suits, and creatures to encounter.

[@themapcartographer5952]

This sounds very dumb to ask for, maybe overambitious for Nintendo, here is my idea on how to bring Metroid to next gen. -Add a night and day system on the planet. -Metroid needs more gore, I kill and blow up aliens and they don't bleed most of the time. -A traditional fps aim system, I was working on a super Metroid first person prime game ON PROJECT SPARK and it worked very well fighting Sidehoopers in a 3D space, I as well added lock on, both can work if tested. -An option to mix up beam weapons just like Metroid fusion. -A fully working screw attack I'm talking infinite jumps but you keep the same Height like other m. -Spazer beam was tested for my own Metroid game, it was very customizable id love to see it return. -Have sprint for Samus like in Super Metroid -Morph ball combat, you can charge boost ball and lock on to an enemy to make it easier to ram into them. -Samus having a parry and finishing moves like Samus returns but differs with what weapon you use. -Kraid needs to come back, Kraid needed 2 screens because of how big he was, if I were to bring him back the only thing you could see is his eyes while each time you damage him you see how big he gets. -Have more than just ice wave and plasma, as iconic and cool they are its boring to know that you gonna get the same powerups again. -Customizable hud, lets you change colours. -Multiplayer and campaign do not mix well, it limited the devs in prime hunters, think they should be separate games. -Samus needs to be more agile and faster, prime games she moved slow and sluggish compared to Super Metroid and Fusion, what made the boost guardian hard was the fact that there's no quick turn or transitioning out of ball faster.

I think if Metroid Prime 4 is to be Open World, that would be fine for the series. Its something new for Metroid that hasn't been done before, and the risk of the planet being barren and empty really fits that Metroid "You're on your own" feel. Have caves and other areas packed with classic Metroid enemies, and maybe while exploring the overworld, have Sylux show up and attack you to test your mettle before running away after you get a new powerup or something. I personally think an Open World Metroid game is a good idea.

[@trashaimgamer7822]

Open World is a terrible idea for Metroid, it would completely undermine the genre. Besides we had enough games turning open world just for the sake of having an open world and nothing good came out of it.

[@HatredSonneillon]

I agree with everything except the open world style gameplay depending on how its done. Most Metroid games dont feel too linear anyway and it feels like youre already exploring a world. I can see having some areas be large open dense spaces, but there needs to be a lot more areas with a sense of trespassing into unknown territory through almost claustrophobic corridors that I like from Metroid games. I would like to see another playable character or 2 for different playthroughs as well. I can see Metroid crossing over with Xenoblade somewhat. It makes sense for the pirates to not be so prominent in this game due to the end of Corruption, so having another form of enemy would be awesome like in Echoes. After all, the game is called Metroid not Space Pirates. Which brings up a concern of mine, Metroid Prime/Dark Samus was in every prime game so far, so does it still make sense to even call it Metroid Prime if they may not make an appearance?

[@AdAstraPerAsperae]

I’m putting something down that I saw in a dream. It’s Samus walking on a planet similar to earth, with a clearly broken down farm in the background. This is where the dream ended, it was very quick. What I remember most was what came after this dream when I was awake, multiple large scale worlds that all can be fully explored, it’s incredibly detailed but still clearly a game similar to the style for XCX, and the ideas that these worlds were all old Chozo controlled planets in the past but are currently just inhabited by other intelligent life forms who have basic civilization and have never seen something or someone as advanced as Samus so she’s viewed as some monster. I feel as though this would create a new feeling of isolation that the series hasn’t had before where you’re on a planet with other life, but because of Samus’s appearance in the power suit they reject her and force her away from settlements (by force I mean try attacking her and she just leaves because she has no reason to genocide another species). This could connect to the main timeline by having her being there in hiding from the federation after the events of fusion while still following up on bounty hunter business and to connect to the rest of the prime trilogy, the federation might turn to Sylux to have her captured so that they can recreate metroids and possibly X parasites using her DNA. I’m sorry if that was hard to follow, I had some of those ideas a few years ago and just came up with some on the spot after listening to the video.

[@Gaster601]

Something I would dig is (as you said) different skins BUT as an upgrade that grants you stealth points. Wear a bright yellow suit in a Cave and you'll be seen like a clown on a funeral, wear a dark suit and you are maybe able to pass through an area without being seen. This could also be a way to up the difficulty on the fly, maybe unlock an anti-colour palette that gives you a color that is the contrast of the current location, thus alarming EVERY enemy as soon as you get into their view. Easy mode? Get a color palette that enhances your stealth, thus granting you higher stealth and the ability to avoid battles. Something like a Chameleon Upgrade or something like that could fit and would GREATLY enhance the replayability of the game by adding personal challenges!

12:12 This made me laugh, as I’m posting from October 2022. Still zer0 information.

To add to your idea of secret power ups, maybe throw a secret boss in there. I know Tanabe said the phazon arc is over but maybe they could bring back Dark Samus for a secret fight. Something like Omega in Mega Man ZX or Inner Agent 3 in Splatoon 2 for a comparison. It obviously wouldn't be canon and it probably would have to stretch things a little but I think it'd be cool.

[@robertpowell9982]

I always picture the open world approach for Metroid sort of being like a massive overworld, with accesses to other regions within the game that take on the more traditional labyrinthian approach. Using Super Metroid as an example; Imagine Crateria from Super Metroid, except it's a massive area with various sites and scenery to take in while you explore and search for ways to progress forward in the game. Then there's areas with access points to the other regions like Brinstar and Maridia, which are only accessible after obtaining the correct power-ups to open up these areas to explore. Of course other areas are accessible even deeper like Lower Brinstar, Norfair and of course Tourian. Areas like the Crashed ship you can encounter early on but once again you won't be able to actually access the sship until you uncover the right power-up (Grapple Beam in this case). Another thing I'd like to see tbh, is a Zero-suit segment in the new game. This isn't the same as a Justin Bailey 'armourless' Samus like in Newtroid but iImagine Zero-mission's Chozodia/Mothership segment in the Prime styled kind of gameplay. In her Zero-suit Samus no longer has any HUD, no indication of health (because she'd die in only a few hits anyways) and instead of her arm cannon she has her paralyser which only stuns enemies for a few seconds (or depending on how strong they are). Of course Samus would be more agile without her suit so the player can be able to run from danger but a lot less likely to engage any enemies since she's a lot more vulnerable. It would help give the game a sense of urgency since during this time literally anything could possibly kill making a contrast to Samus normally taking some damage here and there and just a little "ugh" when hit, then recovering after killing a few zoomers and crates for health. Oh yeah Samus won't be able to destroy crates and small enemies for health, but maybe her paralyzer can destroy some flora to give her some kind of health recovery or something.

I would like to see: Side quests, lots of em! Open world with many planets BUT you would have to upgrade your ship to travel to certain planets, and on those planted the "openworld" aspect is minimized but still a decent sized area to explore. Zero Suit Samus being playable and allowing you to get in and out of your Varia suit whenever you want. A Multiplayer that isn't big but still really good and allows the player to focus on something else to do while earning rewards for the rest of the game. Amiibo functionality with premium or exclusive Amiibo/rewards. More variants of the Varia suit and a way to travel or attack with your ship, for instance one way is you can call your gun ship down and it rains fire for a short time, or send out a drone to help you. I would like to see Variety among minions and side quests, instead of just adventuring and killing maybe make it so you have to defend a payload or escort a bomb or specific missions like having to fly in your Gun Ship and take on space pirates. More enemies with lots of variety. And finally, a way to control the flow of the battle or area-being able to slow time or go into a Focus mode allows the player to get a hold of the fight and turn the tides of battle (plus it makes for some sweet kills), a high speed mode where the player has to press a button and would instantly attack BUT you can so this multiple times in succession allowing a combo like attack or "free flow", this means the player can zoom around and attack but not lose momentum, however if you stuff up, free flow is cancelled. Thanks for reading this.

I can completely understand wanting Metroid Prime 4 to come out sooner or being given a glimpse or any kind of trailer/news, but let's be real, if it's rushed, it probably won't be as good as desired. The main question at this point is: Do you want Metroid Prime 4? Or do you want anOther M?

[@ASquared544]

Building on your open world idea, I say this: if it will be like that, don't make it a large, open, and spacious. Keep the mazelike feel that Metroidvania's are known for, with narrow areas with occasional openings. Make the map design more like Super Metroid or Hollow Knight and not Breath of the Wild, or other open world games.

Zero suit could maybe be accessed by going on pause and click the "turn all power ups off" and it let's you access some no guns allowed areas or use it for sneak, like, some ennemies are very good at hearing the morph ball rolling, the suits metalic footsteps and seeing the lights, so you turn your armor off, press the morph ball bouton and start crouch walking, making your hard to see and perfectly silent, could be nice of this can be used to perform melee take downs on humans\pirates(\evil chozos?), for the amiibos, maybe some bonus levels and suit designs, like, you tap the dark Samus amiibo and you get to play as a phazon corupted samus who's able to turn into dark samus but uses normal Samus power up and in the cutscenes everyone's pretty uncomfortable around her, tap mario and Samus get's to speack with Mario's voice, there's a mario cap and mustache always attached to Samus' face or helmet, it unlocks a small bonus map that is Super Mario Bros themed with a Ridley in a Bowser costume to go kill, tap a regular Samus amiibo and she has her 60's ish design from Metroid NES' cover, Breath of The Wild Guardian makes makes your power suit looks like it's Sheika tech, etc... For the multiplayer, Splatoon is bery modern in it's design, like Overwatch and stuff, yhe Switch lacks old school shooters besides DooM, Hunters was very Quaky and that could come back, to help dev time and have the multiplayer not take away from the solo, keep the engine, make new beams that are better suited for competituve play, add some customizable characters and release it as a stand alone DLC game, lime, you have Prime 4 and you can get the multiplayer when it's out at 15$ or you own the mtiplayer and through it you can get Prime 4 for 15$, making owning both around 60\70 and just one around 40\50.

So am i the only one getting Spectrobes vibes from the music that starts around 10:35? Specifically in Beyond the Portals when choosing a planet to travel to

[@ftwinzeler]

4:00 i feel like an open world metroid game would kinda ruin the tight puzzle design of the series. I know original zelda was like that too, but metroid has always stayed true to the close and crammed full of secrets world. And i wouldnt have it any other way

[@alinepiroutek8932]

11:52 That's so cute

[@ASquared544]

Maybe Prime 4 is gonna be released late 2019/2020 because they want to make it as perfect as possible, and they are withholding info because they don't want to build up hype too early?

[@mariic2]

Am I the only one who wants to see a Co-op game featuring Samus and Joey?

[@OnionSkin]

Prime 4 done like Breath isn't too hard to imagine if it's thought of like the Hyrule Castle segment. Sprawling catacombs that move deep into the earth. Perhaps a suggested path through the game but easy to carve your own route through the world if you're clever. Kinda like super metroid where there's abilities that can be multi purpose or used in creative ways. An open world game set almost fully underground could be pretty fresh.

[@adrikrotten880]

Bet it will have gameplay at E3 and will be the main show case for Nintendo. Also bet it will be a late 2020 release. Maybe early 2021.

[@Maplebandit5]

Going through these older videos and and hearing the bgm is part of the fun for me. Did not expect Custom Robo! Like 10 people remember that game exist (slight hyperbole of course).

[@vanarzyksianardeamnis3078]

Probably it won't sound right at first, but hear me out please! What if there were optional bosses that, once defeated, grant samus an optional power ups like combos found in MP and MP2? I honestly loved how in Samus Returns almost every power up can be used both offensively and for exploration, that's why it's my favourite alongside MP and MP3. And if they managed to do that while adding some optional bosses that granted some cool and optional powerups or, even better, some new optional areas to explore to your liking to get a optional but interesting power up?

[@AvalbusRagnell]

I agree that the music and sound effects are really important in any game, they play the vital role of immerse the player into the game atmosphere, but in a Metroid game this is even more important. Personally I would love a remake of some of the songs from super Metroid and fusion, like the music heard in Maridia, or the aquatic section of sector 4 if I am not mistaken from fusion, but of course, I also think everyone including myself would love new original music. For that to happen, the talent, skills and participation of Kenji Yamamoto are fundamental.

[@genericstickman5967]

Just being Ridley back as a ghost that turns anyone he possesses into a new body for him

[@SamusPrime]

Playing as Justin Bailey or Zero Suit Samus would be EPIC. Great vid, can't wait for the next one!

[@TheOrpheon]

Thanks rest assured got a few planned for the coming weeks, before I take a small break

[@evanschulz9704]

I would love to see a run feature/speed boost in prime 4 because traversing at high speed would make backtracking less annoying because even if the speed is just 20% faster than the regular speed it gives the illusion of faster travel. An idea could be that you run from place to place you would take damage from enemies or collision so a bit of a double edge sword but with the speed boost you could speed through any enemy and possibly new path ways like in the 2D games

[@tristanwelke7827]

In regards to wishlists I have a small one for prime 4 (okay maybe not small) 1. The same style as the previous 3 (first person, same movement, same U.I. etc.) It wouldn't feel like a prime game if they dramatically change the game play. 2. I'd personally like to see the prime 3 mechanic of multiple planets and different Landing sites to incorporate the ship (or one *ENORMOUS* planet with multiple landing sites). 3. As an optional item that the player can aquire if they actively look for it, I'd like to see the spazer beam make it's first full 3D appearance, perhaps with the first person style instead of splitting your shot into 3 it could split into 5, one in the middle, one above and below, one to the right and left firing in a plus + pattern and serving only as a raw damage boost for those who find it. 4. A returning mechanic from series favorite Super Metroid, the ability to deactivate aquired upgrades if for the only purpose of a self inflicted hard mode. 5. Some type of new game+ 6. A Ridley encounter (not even a fight just an encounter) this is probably a given. 7. The dramatic return of the scan visor. (And the visor system in general) 8. Accommodation's to allow low percentage runs (see just how little you really need to beat the game) 9. Whether or not the beams stack (classic style) or serve as separate interchangeable weapons (prime style) doesn't really matter to me I like both systems, though, I'd like to see something new in regards to beams. 10. Lastly some type of randomizer that could maybe be unlocked by beating the hardest difficulty, randomize upgrade and expansion locations to dramatically alter the games flow and add replayability. (I'm sure of all this list this one is the least likely, and most unreasonably demanding) EDIT: 11. A Kraid battle the guy is one of the 3 OG Metroid badies and has never seen see the light of prime (mother brain either). Maybe a meta Kraid to fit ridley's cybernetic theme.

[@halowillneverbegoodagain1868]

For the love of me i hope they change the movement

[@tristanwelke7827]

@@halowillneverbegoodagain1868 God of war serves as an example that a change in game play can be beneficial to a new experience, I just hope that if they do change the movement that it still holds an essence of the prime style to it, like how the new god of war is different with echos of its past installments. Prime in no way had the best gameplay, controls, or movement so I can see where you're coming from but I guess ultimately "to each their own" I personally really liked the whole feel of the trilogy, but, that's just me.

[@halowillneverbegoodagain1868]

@@tristanwelke7827 Im sure it will stay true to Prime's feel. Just in the sense they will keep the atmosphere, exploration but excise features that alot of people dont like (stale combat, rigid movement). And for elaboration: with the new environments likely to be more complex and ambitious, the old movement would likely be unintuitive in favor of a more fluid and brisk system. Also this is a must if they bring back the Shinespark 🤞

[@HitodamaKyrie]

Biggest things for me: I want an updated FPS control scheme. Don't need anything gimmicky about the controls. We can finally move away from the old tank controls and I fully support that idea. It should combine that with the style of Prime. Exploring an alien environment, scanning items and enemies, finding item unlocks letting you progress. I would really like some more characterization of Samus herself, but not like the overdone mess that was Other M. A mission log here or there is fine, but it's probably best to have Samus communicate through action rather than words most of the time.

[@PeterVerzijl]

I would like to see sequence breaking back into the series. Super Metroid and Metroid Zero Mission had such good design where you could skip or re-order the bosses in the game in such a way to scave off minutes from a play through. The more linear focus of the recent titles makes this harder. It would also influence the level design to be more open ended and explorable. For example, the way you can get super missiles early in Super Metroid broke the entire game open. This would increase replay value greatly. However, this might be hard to re-create in a 3D game, but I'd love to see them try.

[@jackbrotwin]

Hey everyone no need to worry there will be a metroid prime 4 they will probably use the timeline we created. For them and we'll of it works out you will see a preview but if they mess up the story we sent them well just know this visual company will laugh at them.

[@tristanhelgerson7964]

Now hear me out.... character development for Ridley and a talking roll

[@YoutubeGuy-ns9xj]

I'd love to see them make a good 3rd person 3d Metroid game. Returnal and also Jedi Fallen Order did so many great things in that area. I just like the 3rd person camera so much more because you can see more and it's a lot smoother, plus you can see your character

[@tekkaikenmega509]

My thoughts on prime 4 Space exploration i wanted to be able to control her gunship imagine gunship upgrades and being able to fly and shoot it like star fox 64 with actual space battles. Multiplayer - like metroid 2 but with online friends so no split screen while you hunt down up to 4 friends or random online people and a surviver mode that you keep going one opponent after the next till you no longer have health

[@tekkaikenmega509]

Hey 4 year ago me keep those dreams alive champ

[@slimjimbrandon232]

I hope its a 1st person or 3rd person viewpoint, sorta like Battlefront games. I do hope that it is motion sensing though cuz I feel like that is always more precise and faster than just using a control stick. I feel like in any shooter game that i have to use a control stick with, it's just too hard to be precise, but with a mouse or motuon sensing it is so much easier. And we've seen motion sensing in some switch games already. I do hope that it is an open world, but still story driven, somewhat like Breath of the Wild or Xenoblade, still completing key points in a main mission, but still being able to do what you want.

[@diegog1853]

Maybe i don't want exactly an open world metroid in a breath of the wild sense (althoug it would be actually cool, specially if you can change to third person and speed boost on the open map). What i definetely want is a more open and longer experience that your typicall metroid prime game. I was spoiled by playing 70 hours of hollow knight in a single file. A big, non linear map, even if its not completely open, is what i really want for a new metroid game

[@halowillneverbegoodagain1868]

I couldn't agree more! I think Hollow Knight is THE standard for a Metroidvania today. It also convinced me that other characters can work in a Metroid style game without sacrificing atmosphere. They're still plenty room for thier own ideas since its a 3D game. Maybe also take notes from DOOM and the new God of War (the director directly cited Metroid as an inspiration). Also 50 hours sounds just right. As much as I loved Botw it did feel quite bloated.

[@hubblebublumbubwub5215]

Hollow Knight was great but a bit too big IMO. Some locations seemed stretched out or didn’t have a good reason to exist.

[@thesnatcher3616]

​@@hubblebublumbubwub5215 The only part of the game that felt stretched out was that long hallway at the end of Ancient Basin. And you have the crystal heart by that point in the game anyways which basically reduces the walk time to just a few seconds. There are plenty of shortcuts and movement upgrades as the game goes on, which makes backtracking MUCH MUCH quicker. It's not about how LONG it takes to get somewhere. The challenge comes in figuring out WHERE to go. But that's how I felt tbh. Every major area always had something to do in the room that you were in.

[@Drums_of_Liberation]

What I would like to see is Prime 4 taking place after Fusion. Cylax can still be the villain in that the Federation hires him to capture Samus in retaliation for destroying the BSL Station and their plans on weaponizing the X Parasites and their Metroid cloning facility.

[@jjabbott7249]

Wishlist: 1. Be able to pilot your ship while on your way to other planets. 2. NO VOICE ACTING. Other M was bad enough. 3. Have Ridley speak. Show off more evidence that he's an intelligent being rather than a monster. Yes, I know he leads the pirates and built his own robot, but still. Gimme more of that. 4. Good story. Samus Returns was great, but I wanted a lot more out of the lore. Maybe bring back the scan from Prime. 5. No lock on combat. I want to be able to aim and win fights by myself (ahem, other M) 6. Bring back the parry attack from Samus Returns.

[@maureengraham3535]

I had subtitles on and now I'm really hyped for *metric pint for*

[@hibahhussain2944]

Io joke but what if prime 4 was a sequel to fusion..either way, I do wanna see a Metroid 5 but the developers made a risky move by 1. changing her suit 2. killing all the metroids and parasites 3. Samus vs federation ~(i'd actually love to see how that plays out) 4. killing the majority of the old school bosses 5. I think we can all agree that after other M, Adam isnt' a very popular character and probably wouldn't be a good idea to add him in which they may have to 6. ect... honestly they made way to many risks which is why I see fusion inferior to the rest of the series (based upon story anyway)

[@TheOrpheon]

How about instead of VS federation is just NO federation or pirates, but a new threat.

[@Elusive9T2RETRO]

I have a feeling that Ridley will be a big part of of MP4, due to them pushing him during SMBU and it getting a new Amiibo as well

[@bisounoursdestenebres7657]

If there is something I'd like to see in a Metroid game, after seeing the Chozo memories in Return of Samus, is Samus fighting a warlord-style Chozo (actually I think it would rather fit as another 2D game for the sake of contuinity with Return of Samus). Imagine : Samus fighting against someone with another suit, with the same abilities like the SAX did in Fusion, but this time, she's at her full power ! We could finally get a glimps of what would an "evil" Samus would be, who the Chozos were, and more importantly, the more I think about this epic fight as a final boss, the more cool and awesome it sounds to me (take all this as a personnal opinion of course) ! It even allows to see the Chozo techynologies used in other ways : why not make the screw attack an actual weapon used by Chozo warriors ? The spider ball as gloves or boots or something used to climb on every surface ? We could even see the metroids in action as the "ultimate bio-weapon wich can wipe out all life in the galaxy" in competent hands !

[@johnnydarling8021]

4:00 Given the success of Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Kirby Forgotten Lands, and countless others following suit, it wouldn’t surprise me if they were to bring Metroidvania to the Open World trend. I actually think it would go together quite naturally, since Exploration has always been a keystone of the Metroidvania formula. Go wherever you want, and access new areas using new abilities. No real linear path, and encourage speedrunners.

[@redowldeer]

I can agree with literally everything you’ve said man. Haha. Let us all hope Prime 4 comes soon enough and, that it’s good.

[@HalfBlindProductions]

i'll never know how you made chibi Samus just so darn adorable!!

[@jeanlucacanomontiel4824]

If metroid prime 4 comes to be an Open world, I would like to see a bounty mechanic. Like, you have this big main city and the people in there want you to accomplish some missions around the planet or maybe even other planets! Also, I would like it to be a Fusion sequel.

[@zeke5793]

I hope it’s turns out like the first two prime games. Exploring a planet is much better than traveling around in the ship. Also, I don’t know if any other people share this opinion, but I couldn’t care less about the sylux story. I’d prefer a story with more lore and not many cinematics like super Metroid and prime 1

[@MatthewCampbell765]

With the mission based gameplay I wouldn't be too scared. Hand-held games tend to be made with the idea of being able to pick up and put down really quickly. The Switch is only half hand-held and they've gotten pretty good at making open-ended games for it.
