"A new Twitter account has piqued the interest of Alex, but can all his predictions come true?"
Leaked gameplay footage from Nintendo and Retro Studios' canceled project titled 'Harmony' has found its way online.
Currently, the original developers are credited via a generic slate.
It's safe to say that it's the original developers who conceptualised and built these games in such a way that they're worthy of a remaster or remake today. Even if they had nothing to do with the new iteration, the dev team behind a remaster would be nowhere without the original vision – and so, the original dev team deserves a place in the credits of a remaster. That's exactly how former Retro studios engineer Zoid Kirsch feels.
Depending on how long the credits are for the current team, I can see why it would be decided not to essentially double that.
How long or short credits are is irrelevant. Every man or woman who put their time into the creation of anything (tv, movies, animation etc too) should have their names stamped on it, no excuses.
Noone realistically sits and reads every name and actually thanks them, but it's important to the people involved to have it there for what small validation or thanks it brings them. A little thing they can show their friends and family for years to come and feel proud to have contributed to. Kind of like seeing your face for 1 frame in the crowd on TV at a football match and having your own little stamp to show you were there.
Without those original devs, there is no beloved game to remaster and put new names on. Disappointing Nintendo, do the right thing and patch it in.
The developer of Metroid Prime 4 has added some talent from Sony Santa Monica who spent over seven years with the company.
I tweeted Retro Studios the other day saying "Metroid Prime 4 please!" Five minutes later I got a message saying that Retro Studios is now following me on Twitter. Does this mean anything? Not so sure but it does make you wonder what they're working on now.
Metroid Prime 4 would be cool. I'd rather them try a new genre, though. We've had 2X side-scroller, First-Person Adventure, and Pinball. How about RPG, Fighting, or Visual Novel? If we can get Pinball those shouldn't be a stretch at all.
Retro studios joint effort with game freak to create Pokemon MMO...Pikaboo
They could be gearing up for a q2 2016 release of prime 4. The prime trilogy alone is enough hype for the next year to see this kind of release. Top it off with an E3 teaser.... bah there I go dreaming again! Kick me.
A new Metroid, really hope so, in the future they could develop a Donkey Kong, but a 3D platformer this time.
But right now, the majority of Wii U owners want a new Metroid.
