Wont lie, at the beginning of the trailer, i was wondering if they were making a Metroid racing game.

I like the motorcycle.
Day one now, yes. A motorcycle figure will appear shortly.

Looked awful. Metroid should be about tight level design, not bland open spaces to ride a bike on.
What the fuck.
What the fuck.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
probably just between areas

The bike is amazing. So unexpected.

If this allows for a greater sense of exploration and/or new and interesting game mechanics then I'm all for it.

Glad I was wrong and this isn't getting pushed to 2026.
The bike and open world looking parts are interesting. Maybe they maintain the Metroid loop by blocking off sections of the world until you get the right upgrade to access them.
Worst case scenario, it's a Gears 5 situation and it is just empty space to drive through between the "real" levels.

I don't really care about motorbiking through the land. If I want good exploration, we already have a Metroid Prime to look forward to. That's the whole point of the series lol. I don't need vast, open plains of nothingness. Maybe they're a bit more interesting than they seem here, but they didn't look particularly exciting.

No one shall be brought before our LORD David Bowie without the true and secret knowledge of the Photoshop. For in that time, so shall He appear.
I'm hoping this trailer intentionally only showed the sprawling areas. In Metroid, I want to feel either suffocatingly claustrophobic, or utterly alone. If the large areas help me feel small and alone, I'm all for it.
I just hope we also get some tight, constrained level design too.
But hell, at least the fucking federation wasn't in this trailer.

Not gonna lie, it looked pretty bland.

Yeah I am hoping there aren't many bike segments. I wouldn't mind having that as a quick travel method, but slowly riding along in an open nothing space I am not so sure about.

I love it, no one expected it, she just revs up a motorcycle out of nowhereWhat the FUCK is this shit? Who asked for this?

Dude that shit looks so sweet. They changed it up. So TIRED of lazy fucking sequels. Thank you Nintendo for trying to iterate and change things up between games. Fuck! Sony take note. I don't want any more sequels with nothing new in them but more of the same, Death Stranding, Horizon, Ghosts of Yotai listen up.

I agree. Missed opportunity to Shinespark through the desert instead. Instead they ported over the Master Cycle from BotW.
Not a fan of the seemingly wide empty areas.

Yeah visually it's badass to see her on a bike, that I am cool with. The open desert area with like nothing to it is what I fear the bike segments will be like.

There are many Metroid fans that wouldn't mind a game that let's you explore more than just one main location or just one single all connected map.
There's nothing wrong with finding ways to expand the Metroid Universe/Lore through actual gameplay, (i.e. moving to several locations, of varying sizes, to explore) if it's done well.

There's the twist. This large open area is just Mario Kart DLC.

So from fully restarting development from scratch and having Retro make the game, including pre-production, Metroid Prime 4 was in development from January 2019 until November 2025. Wow. That is a long time!
That's 7 full calendar years. Dang!
