![]() While Dread retains the classic side-scrolling aesthetic and gameplay elements of the first two games, Prime is the branch that covers the first-person shooter adventures that Samus has. It seems to be a studio that has a really good culture and I think they will have an appropriate reverence for the original games even if most of the staff have moved on. Is Metroid Dread Metroid Prime 4 No, those are two completely different types of games. I am anxious about Prime 4, but I'm glad it's in the hands of Retro. With Dread just around the corner, and Metroid Prime remake rumors popping up, I figured some of us would want to talk about Prime 4 The game is currently in development after being announced at E3 2017 initially developed by Bandai Namco with Retro Studios taking over and rebooting the project in January 2019. Moreover, I think all of the above are neither overdone nor underdone - they are weaved into the core game with the deftest of touches. Metroid Prime 4 is a whole new installment in the series, so everything from its story to its features and controls had to be built from the ground up. It is part of the storytelling and the lore, it is part of the puzzles, but it is also a reminder that you are on an alien world and you need to study your environment in order to progress.

It was perfect in Prime I think they just about got away with it in Prime 2 with the GF I think they put a step wrong with Prime 3. Published A new leak reveals that the highly-anticipated fourth installment in the Metroid Prime series might see its first gameplay reveal in a Nintendo Direct in early 2018. The things that stand out for me are things that would be so easy to get wrong in a sequel, especially one developed after such a long time, so I'm pretty nervous for Prime 4. I think Prime is still my favourite 3D game ever (save perhaps for BotW) and I often go back and think what makes it so special.
