Honestly, this is a sort of revival for the Metroid Prime games and it is expected to bring a lot of newcomers in. So I just can't see them using time travel to give specific fanservice for the entire franchise. I don't doubt they will make a lot of references in scan logs, but I doubt they will jump through older games with time portals and so on. IF time travel is essential to the game I think it will be limited to the planet Samus explores. Nothing else. It will be a cool gimmick like in Echoes where you jump between light and dark Aether, while maybe also putting some twists in the plot (for example, a younger Sylux in the past segments?).

I will say its motivations are what really have me intrigued. If time travel is gonna be a thing, and if the object in the trailer is what it’s after, is it trying to resurrect Metroid prime or bring back phazon after seeing its power during the events of prime 3? Or is it just after Metroids since, if the timeline adds up right, samus exterminated them all already. Edit: and you brought up exactly those points 5 minutes after I wrote this. But the on the same page there too.

I don't think Sylux will be a character we already know. The way they've been keeping it secret and building him up does make it seem like he'll be a character we know but I don't know any existing characters he could be. Most Metroid characters are far too obscure to work for this reveal. The majority of players don't know about the manga or some random NP article from the 80's. Sylux existing in Prime 3 means it can't be anyone we saw in any games that take place after that in the timeline, which is most of the franchise.

If we are going back to other planets, maybe we will visit Phaaze before it became Phaaze. And seeing what & how Phazon & perhaps even THE Metroid Prime itself was created.

In regards to Singleplayer and Multiplayer in Prime 4....I think the best possible result would be if it was basically like Halo Reach. A great campaign and a multiplayer you could play for years where you could customize your character. So take the majority of Prime Hunters multiplayer style, minus playing as the other hunters, and make it so you can unlock customizable parts to your Samus character. Nothing ridiculous, but like different suits she has worn in the other games and stuff. Have the maps be area's she has been to in her journeys and you could have a version of VIP mode from Halo but call it Bounty where a player is randomly selected as the one who has a bounty on their head and all other players are trying to take that player out for say 10 points, where you only get 1 point for taking out others, and once the bounty is taken down, a new bounty goes on the person who took out the last one. First to 50 points wins, or such.

I think that people really did conflate projection of certain traits on Samus based on her silence with a personality that wasn't being presented. Most games occur in isolated locations where speech is not a thing that happens. Most words that have come from her were brief moments of internal monologue- often just summaries. Even Other M presents Samus as a quiet, competent hunter in gameplay, and it was her most brutal iteration with regard to fighting enemies when it released. That game didn't conflict with her personality, it conflicted with the perception of a personality that was never actually explored. Other M was meant to establish that baseline. As we can see with Dread, that didn't change how she is when on the job: a generally quiet hunter with exceptional competence, the same behavior that was seen as stoicism, and incredible combat prowess. In one of the very few instances of meeting someone on an active mission who speaks a language she knows she responds, and there wasn't anything more to say, so I don't think that's going away. I can only assume that people wouldn't want more even if the setting and circumstances made sense regarding dialog and insight into Samus's internal monologue. The only exception (and perhaps ice breaker) I can imagine is a sort of origin story retelling leading up to the first Metroid where interactions with the Chozo and some involvement with humans who speak her language would occur.

To me it looked like in the trailer there was a under/overlay that was associated with the D pad. So maybe that gives us the ability to have swappable primary weapons and secondary weapons. Then having stackable features to the primary weapon types and even stackable abilities on secondary weapons. In the trailer they only showed the missile but maybe by a press of a button it would change that D pad section of the HUD to beam (primary) weapon types. The option at the start is the power beam. They only needing to show the missile (secondary) weapon in the trailer to showcase that something is different here.

Cool Q&A! I do have a perspective on whether dark Samus/phazon will show up in the game. Metroid Prime as an entity was not in MP hunters nor in MP federation Force. Heck, there's not even any metroids in Metroid Dread (apart from samus's DNA, but that doesn't count - there's no actual Metroid creatures) and the game is still called "Metroid" Dread. To me it's clear Nintendo is thinking in terms of brand/franchise. "Prime" at this point just refers to first person perspective. Given what Sakamoto has said about wrapping up the previous storyline, I think MP4 is going to be something completely different even if it incorporates time travel mechanics.

With regard to Samus speaking, Other M and the one line in Dread are not the only times we’ve seen it. Whilst not voiced Samus is speaking when she tells us the background to Super Metroid during the intro and also several times throughout Fusion, both talking directly to the player and in conversation with the AI Adam, so it is not a completely alien concept for the series. I think that, as this is a Prime game, we will not have her speak in this one though as that is a stylistic choice we have seen in all 3 previous games and from what we have already seen in the trailer they are really going for a consistent feel with those games.

The Questions that I was thinking was - should Nintendo Release Metroid Prime 2&3 before MP4 Drops ?? and the other Question on my mind was - should Samus have a Grappling Hook Type Item too help her Navigate around the Environments etc. I don't think Metroid Prime 4 needs DLC or a Multiplayer Mode for it too Sell really well but for longevity wise, it would be amazing too see happen tho. There is two Character Doom Crossovers I would really love too see at some point and that is Master Chief plus Samus, seeing both of those Characters with their Weapons etc in the Doom World would be so Dope.

Hold to select, tap to activate/deactivate. Thanks for the fantastic coverage!

For Weapon Stacking vs Interchanging.. Why not both? Have stacking upgrades for the beams as well as separate selectable ones? So for example? Base Beam. You have to switch to these to use them. These would be like Prime 1's Plasma/Ice/Wave/Power. Stacking Upgrades: think Charge Beam, Diffusion Beam, Wide Beam. These apply to all beams owned. Solomon is not in a manga. He's from a non-canon thing called Blood of the Chozo. Which was a thing in a Nintendo Power magazine.

As far as Remakes vs DLC i think the real problem is pacing... I would really love to see series attempting a Trilogy to prioritize the sequel and aim for DLC simultaneously released with the sequels or a year before, but the industry seems irrationally geared to rush DLC to year of release of the first game. It creates a really short hype cycle and doesn't allow for a "complete" physical release to make sense when that could give good sales.

I think a lot of people overestimate how much Retro and Tanabe *can* do when it comes to story and characters. It is true Sakamoto will review and approve every single word in the design documents, but we need to remember the time Retro wanted to make Samus do some bounty hunting, and Nintendo told them no because there was a disconnect between the teams. We also need to remember that Nintendo keeps Tanabe on an incredibly tight leash, he cannot give names to NPCs in Paper Mario anymore. A lot of speculation flat out ignores the logistics side of things. Could Samus talk in MP4? Sure. Could Sylux be Samus's brother or Ian Malkovich? Sure. Could Prime 4 take place outside of their designated time slot that allows creative freedom? Sure. Could Prime 4 completely alter the whole Metroid timeline? Sure. Will it tho? Most likely not, at least not to the extent many of us imagine or want. They can't do most of that because they would overstepping their boundaries, and they would require heavy back and forth supervision, which Sakamoto confirmed is not a thing that happens because there is no communication between the parties. Like, I can see Samus talking here, but we likely won't get any new insight into her character, it will be mostly Dread-like one lines.

I think a primary reason why Samus doesn't speak much, is cause on her adventures....it's just her...she's alone...who's she going to talk to? Nobody. If nobody is around, you aren't talking lol. If you were out in space alone, with nobody to converse with, you wouldn't be talking, and if you came across someone who wasn't a threat, cause most entities Samus comes across are a threat, she isn't going to suddenly be like "WHOA, lets talk about this, lets not fight." That's not right lol. So if she happens to come across someone who isn't a threat to her for once, and it was someone she respects like that Chozo in Dread, cause of her history with being raised by the Chozo, then it makes sense for her to speak a sentence. But the point is, Samus as a person doesn't need to speak, I don't think she is bothered with not talking, it's not vital to her missions, it's not needed to survive. She is a bounty hunter, she does her job, and she is a lone wolf. So her talking on the rare instance when it makes sense, is more powerful and impactful.

Hey, if you get a chance I’d love to hear your take on this theory Time Portal Theory: In the last scene of the trailer it shows a beautiful, open, untouched area. Since this game is believed to be on one planet with time shifting is it possible that she goes from the intro area with bases and research buildings to an earlier time before there’s any development? Same planet. Same area. Different time period. Is the portal she’s walking away from how she moves through time? Is the portal tech the hardware we see the researchers trying to move out of the laboratory as the pirates attack? Does Samus have to use the time portal to escape Sylex & the pirates? And is the portal the game’s logo?

Wish people would stop with the Prime 4 being cross gen. Not happening. The situation is NOTHING like the past two times Nintendo did it. With TP the Gamecube was a failure, and with the Wii, people seem to drastically forget that a reason for there being a different version (cause Wii was backwards compatible with Gamecube games) was because the Wii had a totally different control style, MOTION CONTROLS, and most people in the world are right handed, so they had to make a separate version where they swapped the sword into Link's right hand and mirrored the entire game world on the Wii version. THAT is why it was cross gen. No powerful second version, it was due to a failed last system and totally different controls on the new one. And BOTW also was on the failed Wii U system, but unlike the Wii, the Switch was NOT backwards compatable to Wii U games, so cross gen happened. You couldn't put a Wii U disc in the Switch lol. With the Switch 2, there is NO logical reason for cross gen. Switch isn't a failure like the Gamecube and Wii U were, the Switch 2 will be backwards compatible, and wont have any new crazy control style. So making a second version of Prime 4 makes absolutely no sense. The 142 million switch userbase is the biggest userbase Nintendo has ever had. They aren't going to make a "better" version on a system with a zero user base which would make the original version they put all their effort into pointless and screw over the 142 million Switch users lol. Nintendo does NOT like doing cross gen. They only do it under STRICT SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. Look at Sony and the PS5 if you want to see how well cross gen goes when you do it with all your games...doesn't end well.

0% chance of DLC in Prime 4. Retro doesn't do DLC. They release a full finished product then move onto the next project. The better question would be does Retro do Prime 5 after Prime 4? Or do they do a different game, or maybe return to DKC for a third and finale entry.

I disagree that Nintendo should release prime 2-3 before 4. People would be burned out by the series at that point.

I don't mind dlc these days bc development cycles are so damn long. Plus the graphics don't change much from game to game anymore. A game like destiny survives off dlc and does fine. Since Nintendo is always a gen behind graphically, it kind of always leaves u wanting a proper sequel with updated graphics so it's kind of weird with them. For instance, totk should've probably come out around 2021 but probably suffered a delay due to COVID. That would've been perfect but since it came out so much later, it ended up being so outdated graphically and leaves u starved for an upgrade. Point is if they can hash out a proper sequel in about two or three years tops, I'm all for a sequel. If not, then give me some dlc

I know! About 6 months ago I was heavily thinking about changing it. I already have the name. But it’s a pretty big deal to change it and can actually hurt the channel. The name is a remnant from 10-14 years ago. 🤷♂️

There's definitely a few more reasonable explanations they could provide for the return of Phazon if they really wanted to, they wouldn't just have to Rise Of Skywalker it. Also, there actually WAS some precident for Palpatine's return set up in Episode 3, but they needed to properly build it up in the more recent movies leading UP to Rise of Skywalker and give Palpatine's return more buildup than just revealing his comeback in the opening crawl without any warning in the previous movie, and then having the only explanation given for his revival be a single quote from Revenge of the Sith which is admittedly an awesome reveal for those who remember it, but those who don't go on with no explanation.

@@calvinbrinenestoris2357 No, Palpatine died, Anakin Skywalker at the end brought balance to the force with his sacrifice. Lucas said that multiple times. Everything else is bullshit. Snoke was a good enough villain, but they had to burn it. "Somehow Palpatine return" is not a joke on the laziness of the explanation, but about how they completely ignored the story told before.

@IIARROWS I was referring to how Palps mentioned in Episode 3 that his master found a way to cheat death, and then directly quoted that episode 3 scene in episode 9, which was meant to explain his return. Poe's "somehow Palpatine returned" was meant to explain things to the resistance, not the audience. The problem was that not everyone remembered enough of, or even SAW Revenge of the Sith to get that, and his return definitely required LEAGUES more information and settup. Even for those who did see and remember ROTS, you're right about what Lucas said with the chosen one prophecy, and with Snoke making more sense as a villain, and all that.

@@calvinbrinenestoris2357 Cloning is not cheating death. And in any case, as I already explained, the problem is not the sentence, but the concept. Palpatine is dead, end of the story. Literally. Reusing the same antagonist doesn't make for an interesting story. It makes everything that happened inconsequential and useless. Beside showing lack of originality.

I think ... sale jump from 3M to 5M is a bit too hopeful ... 3.5M Is more feasible but really hard as Metroid only have one game that hit 3M. But if Engine ... a big expensive part of it already finish. why not start Prime 5. give it 4-5 year to breath. Also Metroid as brand is not strong so avoid big stuff from 1st party like mario, zelda or 3rd party like cod.

prime 4 will be switch only, there is no reason to make two versions, breath of the wild has two versions because it is a disc and cartridge, but the games were identical otherwise by saying something that will not exist will just hurt prime 4's sales, sabotaging your own favourite franchise

@@HoboWithAShotgun Nintendo is going to go with innovation, they have left the power race since the GameCube. You want the cost down as much as possible, and if next console will be a DS hybrid then that second screen will raise the cost of the console so you need to bring down the cost in other areas resulting in a slightly more powerful console than the Switch. Besides, Nintendo games peak with the Switch visually anyways. They don't have unsustainable game budgets that take 10+ years to make, they go for visual design and a good art style to stand the test of time instead.

@@MasterStacona they showed off the switch 2 last year with a running matrix demo that looked similar to PS5. That's a massive upgrade. Will it be PS5? No at max probably series S. (DLSS helped with the demo of course) But they've built up a huge fan base and they won't screw it up for something too out there. Not until switch 2s eventual successor anyways.

Samus' brother Salomon is not canon and was not in the official manga. You should know that, Metroid super fan. 😉 The canon theory is about Adams brother Ian, who supposedly died in the Other M flashback. Me personally, I think that idea is super stupid. 😂 I hope they don't go with it.
