1. You get on the bike.
You were ahead of our time.
The "normal" Metroid Prime environments are still there and aren't really like the shrines. The towers we've seen look like a dark version of Skytown Elysia.
But we got Prime 3, Federation Force and Other M. Every damn Metroid game in the last 15+ years has stepped out of the box and it sucked. I WANT actual Metroid-ing lol. Stay in the fucking box bitch
not in and of itself. the original MP ran at 60 fps.It's...not impressive for a Switch 1 game running at 60 fps?
Nintendo stole my idea for a Battle Royale-type F Zero.
But it wasn't semi open world with riding around a vast area on a fast moving vehicle….? The comparison is odd given the context. BotW chugged at 30 fps and didn't look better than this.
I didn't like that game so I conveniently left it out.
Metroid Prime has very small environments too due to the memory limitations of the Gamecube. What little we've seen of Prime 4 dwarfs anything in the original which was essentially a series of small rooms connected together with hidden loading screens (the doors).
It had shit music, zero atmosphere, boring backgrounds and an emphasis on combat I wasn't too into despite it being very competent at it. I'm not saying it's a bad game but I didn't care for it and thought it was disappointing. I just made a RTTP Super Metroid thread some months back, you can investigate for further reading material.

Doesn't like un-Metroidy Metroid games, wants Metroidy Metroid game. Gets done, but doesn't like it. An impossible-to-please gaming audience, in a nutshell.
People saying that this look like a PS3 game needs their eyes checked ASAP
yeah but MP also wasn't on 2025 hardware either.
That's...precisely my point.
Is going to be fucking EPIC.
it's...not 2025 hardware. it's 2017 (actually 2015) hardware, and Switch 1 games are a known quantity at this pointyeah but MP also wasn't on 2025 hardware either.
60 fps just nothing special in and of itself.
. It's been 8 years, we know what they look like. Switch 2 upgrades simply up-res the game, increase FPS, maybe add higher-res textures in some cases. But the game logic and the game has to run on Switch 1 to begin with, thus it was designed with that in mind. I'd also point out MP4 has been in development since 2019 and would've only recently been tuned for Switch 2 very, very late in development.
Thats how it works here
.
I think if they would have given games like these the AAA big budget console treatment, people wouldn't be as scared or upset about Metroid being "too different":
ok my bad. 2017 hardware vs 2000 hardware. same point.it's...not 2025 hardware. it's 2017 (actually 2015) hardware, and Switch 1 games are a known quantity at this point
The fact that Metroid Prime 4 is a Switch 1 game and can run at 60 fps with that fidelity actually is impressive, given how weak the tech is. Given the semi open world and whatnot. BotW has an even bigger world and chugs just to barely hit 30 fps most of the time.
This. There shouldn't be a bike, there should be a bike but its too empty, blah blah blah. Heaven forbid they do anything new. You literally cannot win, I fully agree.
Wind Waker. Big open world to cruise thru. Wasn't 60. But 2000 era hardware.

Especially Federation Force, as it was a potential moment for the I.P. to expand into something more. It could have been Metroid's version of Republic Commando.
Ummm... completely different engines/ technology/ the ocean was created during development as a way to load the game between areas...? I don't follow your point anymore, this is getting out into the weeds at this point.
IT's not impressive to do 60. Hope you can follow that.
They were created as handheld games and they were received as handheld gamesI think if they would have given games like these the AAA big budget console treatment, people wouldn't be as scared or upset about Metroid being "too different":

It is, though. And Wind Waker wasn't 60 fps on GameCube, it was 30. But anyway, this is far removed from the original point at this stage. Enjoy your day!
I'm not saying "these games were great and are underrated".
You'll take your Metroid Prime: Other Motorcycle and like it.
Yeah this is a videogame, I think you got the wrong hobby.
