Oh yay. In three years of work they've managed just a single piece of art. It's gonna be decades before Prime 4 comes out.

Retro Studios updated their Twitter banner with Metroid
- Thread starter AhiKuma
- Start date
Mario Kart 7 was a full on collaboration. According a recent interview Retro actually designed 21 out of the 32 tracks for the game.

BotW2 could also be the final announcement, ending with a release date for this year, which segues into a Treehouse Live demonstration. It would mirror the January 2017 presentation that showed many new games (Odyssey, ARMS, XC2), but closed on a final date for an already announced title (BotW1).
In which case, a good penultimate announcement would be, "Development is progressing smoothly on Metroid Prime 4, but we need a bit more time before we show it. In the meanwhile, check out this!" *cue footage of Metroid Prime Remastered*

Ah thanks for the info, I knew they assisted with some assets for the game but had no idea they were this involved, that's cool! Though MK7 came out in 2011 and so could maybe be better bundled to their GC/Wii work at this point.. I know they haven't just been chilling and having BBQ parties this whole time, they must have tons of prototypes and work done during the years, would be super interesting to one day find out what projects they've worked on during the companys quiet period..
Could be Dark Samus staring down the Federation soldier we play as.
how do people notice these things? are there bots for when someonce changes their profile picture or banner?
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.. 🤔
I agree it's been an agonizing wait, but this is certainly a sign of more than "Hey, Jim finished concept art numero uno guys! Woo! 🎉"
I'm still not anticipating any real news this year though. No expectations worked out well for the Direct a couple weeks ago.
Just a couple weeks ago people were freaking out about Retro tweeting about job openings, jumping to conclusions about the current state of development. Happens every time.
I try not to think about it. The most likely explanation is whatever they were working on from early 2014 to late 2018 was cancelled. I'm sure someday we'll hear about what they were working on.
Okay, so yeah, sarcasm. Just checking 😅
And yeah I hope we at least hear what happened to it. I wonder if it fell apart because Nintendo was too hands off, or not enough. Then again it could have nothing to do with them entirely, internal drama or something. Anyways.
So she appears to be in some sort of abandoned duct. The "feel" of the setting here might be hinting that the game will be more dark and desolate than previous titles. Maybe they will go back to the creepy nature of the original Metroid.
Still, at least it's something I guess. Wonder how long we'll have to wait for a teaser/announcement
I hope that banner is somewhat indicative of the tone Prime 4 will have (or perhaps it's for the remake that was teased last year?) Regardless, something's coming.
It kind of wouldn't be Prime without it. I'm just hoping they do something fresh with it still.
I think that's what we'll see first. And then the "one more thing" will either be Prime/Prime 4 or whatever Tokyo is working on (Mario or DK).
What about it? We'll see it too. Doubtful that it needs to be a closer since it's already been that twice.
OP
OP
That screams like the main thing to show at e3/summer direct. Prime 1 RE/Prime 4 is like the last thing type of reveal or whatever.
I'd say Metroid definitely crawls. Crawls to the finish line.
yes this pleases me, prime HD/4 dual reveal E3 direct please
yeah I'm sure there's nothing else
Be still my heaving flamecharred ribs.
and I can still smell the Kraid?

Haha!
