Looks like something for the Nintendo DS due to the "low polygon environments" refrence. Its gotta be too late in the game to hire for Metroid: Hunters, isn't it?

 

[demi]

More like Metroid Prime 3 am i right

 

[Wario64]

Mario is shooting a gun.
Mario is in first person mode.

 

[Azih]

Yeah, seems DS

 

[Shin Johnpv]

More like Metroid Prime 3 am i right

no Retro does the Prime series not NST



anyway When is Hunters due? could be last minute hiring before crunch time to get it out on time

or maybe theres another title coming

I would also say it has to be DS due to the low poly thing

 

[deadhorse32]

They were working on a rally/racing game for GC at some point

 

[Willco]

GOLDENEYE 2: THE FINAL CHAPTER

 

[gofreak]

It does seem a little late for Metroid..

..perhaps they have a seperate DS FPS in the works?

 

[mumu]

When is Hunters due?

Not for another 6 months i think. With all the emphasis on tight deadlines and working under pressure you could be right.

 

[Defensor]

Mario is shooting a gun.
Mario is in first person mode.

He's back to combat the F.L.U.D. :lol

 

[Redbeard]

It's for revolution.

 

[SantaC]

it's probably for help on metroid hunters

 

[demi]

no Retro does the Prime series not NST

MEGATON

WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS INFO???? I NEED TO KNOW NOW PLZ

Hö? Where did you get this?

MEGATON

your mother told me all about it, she also told me you need to stop wetting the bed

 

[Soul4ger]

NST to do Goldeneye remake!! Haters head for the hills!!

 

[bitwise]

probably not for hunters, but its "sequel".

 

[Dave Long]

It's almost certainly for Hunters. I bet they want someone to help specifically with level design.

 

[Gahiggidy]

It's for revolution.

You could have a point. The first holgraphic console ever is likely to have very rudimentary graphics.

 

[Tenguman]

you guys missed what was under the FPS requirement?

Modeling in very low polygon environments with low tech lighting techniques.

They are looking for DS programmers most likely.

I didn't miss it.

[mrklaw]

come to think of it, there are several types of games that simply aren't done by Nintendo first party. Is it because they think/hope 3rd parties will fill the gap.

eg

FPS
Racing game (not kart)

NCL developed F-Zero and Wave Race. The last car racing game the team developed was Stunt Race FX and before than Famicom World Grand Prix and F1 Grand Prix 2 (Game Boy).

NOA developed Ridge Racer 64 and now Ridge Racer DS.

I am one of those few people that liked Stunt Race FX.

 

[Mashing]

GOLDENEYE 2: THE ONE THAT DOESN'T SUCK

Fixed

Edit: As far as level design goes they have one of hte best in the business sitting over at Retro (Zoid)... I'm sure they could get his input if he's not busy with something else.

So you are basically proving my point that Nintendo don't really do racing games. At least with cars.

I liked stunt race FX, but they still can't resist teh googly eyes, can they?

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

Metroid Hunters 2?

 

[Brofist]

Modeling in very low polygon environments with low tech lighting techniques.

:lol if that is for Revolution there's a problem. Like said before that perfectly matches the DS.

 

[shuri]

No fps on the DS, please. I think the metroid demo, while interesting from a technical point of view, shows that its not exactly the best platform for them
