Rumor: Metroid Prime 4 developed with Bandai Namco Singapore & Ridge Racer 8 exclusive to Switch
- Thread starter Cinemikel
- Start date
His description implies that he only worked on the VR mode of AC7, which I think is exclusive to PSVR (someone please correct me if I'm wrong on that).
Not that I am trying to police your "feelings" or anything, but this is a game we know literally nothing about. We don't even know what this job listing means, if anything. It could be minor outsourcing work. So maybe cool the jets a little, lol.
Uhhh, that's exactly what they did with Metroid Prime with Retro, lol.
Not the first time Ridge Racer is exclusive on the newest platform released.
I wouldn't rule it out.
I don't know shit about that Metroid part.

People were worried about Samus Returns on 3DS because Mercury Steam and it turned out amazing, IMO. Let's wait and see how it looks. Retro laid the foundation for what to expect with Prime games. If anything I wouldn't expect any major changes and more of the same, which I'm personally fine with.
If it means anything, NateDrake hasn't locked the thread yet.
No. Ive have seen mulitple linkedin profiles say that. Especially Ubisoft.
Well Zhuge did hint months ago that Bamco was working on a first party Nintendo game that was the 4th entry in a series and appears that smash wasn't the one he was talking about. Also I believe we had someone on here said that they are indeed working on it.
Edit:Guy is actually in this thread too.

He's been right several times recently from what I remember. Can't look up the videos but he hinted at Dark Souls and the LA Noire ports along with some hints on the specific developers, IIRC.

Hopefully Bamco hires a great combat designer because I have no faith in prior staffers knowing how to make compelling shooting combat.
Ah, gotcha. Strange wording that seemed a little on the nose was all.
More ridge racer is always welcome. One of my favorite franchises from the ps1/ps2 eras.
I mean I'd play it on switch but I would prefer to have a PS4 version to relive my teenage years.

Well, ZhugeEX's twitter bio says he "covers the digital games market in China and SE Asia." Singapore falls there
The title is specifically AC7 VR though which could be exclusive to PSVR

Maybe it could be due to them not revealing any information about its development or developers? That is a good point though
They mean they are unannounced as the developer. Panic Buttons Linkedin still had wolf 2 listed as unannounced weeks after wolf 2 was announced for switch
RIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACEEEEEEEER!
Interested to see how it'll turn out on the Switch as the series is known for its sleek style and arcade goodness.

It seems so, but it PS4 AND PSVR which doesn't make too much sense if they are only working on the VR portion and being a lead designer. It is an easy mistake for someone who is only has cursory knowledge of the game since the game has mainly been advertised for Playstation and the official website doesn't list the other platforms on the first page but, someone who is a lead designer on it should realize it is multiplatform.
Metroid Prime 4 is going to be interesting for sure. Can another studio really out do or be on par with what Retro did?
This bit is true.
As a side note, the confusion around Ace Combat 7 is kinda sad and really speaks to how badly Namco has marketed the thing.
OP

It is correct though. The VR part is exclusive to PS4 and PSVR like it says
Plot twist, Namco let Prime 4 and Ridge Racer 8 get leaked to get viral marketing for Ace Combat 7.
Sure, but why? Presumably the people looking at LinkedIn profiles are professionals, not random strangers on the internet you want to impress.
There's no standard for listing these things; one way is as valid as another.
I'm definitely down for a new Ridge Racer, especially given the dearth of new arcade-style racing games today. Wouldn't mind a Switch port of Ace Combat, either...
I think, despite the denial many are in about it, we all know it's another Donkey Kong game.
