Not that I doubt you, but would you mind sharing how you came across this info? Was it through some inside information, something official by Nintendo/Retro, etc.It’s around 130

It’s from Retro’s LinkedIn page. That was the best I could do.Not that I doubt you, but would you mind sharing how you came across this info? Was it through some inside information, something official by Nintendo/Retro, etc.
Actually i think its higher! Kyoto report said something along of 120s, but that page hasnt been updated since 2021. Since retro has put out dozens and dozens of job hirings since then id imagine its more akin to mid 140s or low 150sIt’s from Retro’s LinkedIn page. That was the best I could do.
Why? So you can see it looking the best possible?this is one I almost don't want to see until new hardware exists/is announced
it wasnt restarted in 2019,the restart was announced in 2019,it happened sometime between march and october 2018,plus retro was already helping while namco was the developer and it problably will reuse the engine from the metroid prime remake that started in 2017We expect Prime 1 HD to come first, also it hasnt been that long development restarted in 2019 , 3 years for what’s supossed to be one the big Nintendo games it’s not a lot.
There's absolutely no chance that they announce Metroid Prime HD without teasing MP4. It's been over 3 years since the reboot, and we've already done the whole "we're not ready to show MP4 today but here's something eise instead!" thing with Dread. Not to mention Metroid Prime 4 is a direct sequel to Metroid Prime HD.... I just can't see it.
Nintendo has done it twice with BOTW2.i don’t see Nintendo doing the “we know you’re waiting on Prime 4, but here’s this game” twice, especially since Metroid Prime is actually related to Prime 4. It’s much easier to do a teaser now to tie in with Metroid Prime Remaster.
Yeah. We’ll see if they do it for Metroid Prime 4. I think this case will be treated differently from BotW 2.Nintendo has done it twice with BOTW2.
we still got snippets of the game however. more than could be said for MetroidNintendo has done it twice with BOTW2.
I meant, in 2020 with AoC and in 2021 when they announced SS remasteredwe still got snippets of the game however. more than could be said for Metroid
so you're saying...I meant, in 2020 with AoC and in 2021 when they announced SS remastered
Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but my point is, that Nintendo has done it before. Saying, we know you want to see this, but here's this instead"so you're saying...
as long as they announce MP1 Remastered....
Yeah I guess hahaWhy? So you can see it looking the best possible?
I honestly don't think they'll talk about MP4 if they don't plan on showing it. and at that, I don't think they won't show it if they show MP1.Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but my point is, that Nintendo has done it before. Saying, we know you want to see this, but here's this instead"
watch the tradeoff be 30fpsYeah I guess haha
I’m tired of imagining what Nintendo games COULD look like if they weren’t 540p
Plus Metroid DESERVES IT
Prime 4 is absolutely going to be 30FPS. If dread, a far less technically demanding game, has semi-frequent frame drops to 40 there's no way in hell prime 4 is going to be 60fpswatch the tradeoff be 30fps
I genuinely hope it's 30fps. I honestly think it'll be a cross gen title, so it stands to gain more. that said I think Retro would be more devoted to less framerate variation than MercurySteam adapting their multiplatform engine for a Switch exclusivePrime 4 is absolutely going to be 30FPS. If dread, a far less technically demanding game, has semi-frequent frame drops to 40 there's no way in hell prime 4 is going to be 60fps
All 3 Prime games have been 60fps though. It could go either way, but I think 60fps has a solid chance. Perhaps between switch and switch 2 versions are that switch resolution goes to 720p-900p docked, while 2 is native 2-4k.Prime 4 is absolutely going to be 30FPS.

Prime 1-3 had the privilege of being in SD and on some of the most powerful SD hardware ever. In contrast, the switch is one of the weakest HD systems.All 3 Prime games have been 60fps though.

It really depends on the developers decisions here. We haven't had a fps Metroid prime game since the Wii days. They can make it however they want. You do know know that 1080p 60fps switch games exist, right? They just scale back on detail and/or resolutionPrime 1-3 had the privilege of being in SD and on some of the most powerful SD hardware ever. In contrast, the switch is one of the weakest HD systems.
Sure they could do whatever but being realistic i'll be shocked if it hits 60It really depends on the developers decisions here. We haven't had a fps Metroid prime game since the Wii days.

I really do think they could go either way with 60fps it 30fps. And Retro Studios have made 60fps games outside MP series as well. Like Some of the DKCR games (tropical freeze) for example.
oh how young we wereAssuming there is a Direct this June (which I think is almost a guarantee that there will be)
meanwhile based tangerineYou guys are expecting a June Direct?
Killed by the Guardians.Mistakes were made.
They've been hiring people for it for the entire development cycle, it's just how things work these days.Hopefully we see it in September? More people are getting hired for it, at least recently
When we finally see footage of the game, all I really want is to see Samus in a cool new suit.Did I say June earlier in this thread? I meant September, yes. lol
Ok, while a June Direct never materialized, I do ultimately stand by my general sentiment that the next big Nintendo show will show Metroid Prime 4 and the Metroid Prime remaster together. More than enough time has passed and they did update their social media with new artwork. When they talk about 2023 games, they are going to set Prime 4 up as one of the pillars next year. It might just be a teaser, and I expect it to be, but we’ll see it.
You'll get Samus in the Varia Suit and you'll fuckin' like itWhen we finally see footage of the game, all I really want is to see Samus in a cool new suit.
Yup I fully expect to see an awesome new suit and maybe a look at either the planet if it’s larger than past games or a new enemy if that’s more of the focus. Either way I can’t wait to see it!When we finally see footage of the game, all I really want is to see Samus in a cool new suit.
Every Prime had new suits thoYou'll get Samus in the Varia Suit and you'll fuckin' like it
Oh for sure. And I would much rather see a new suit.Every Prime had new suits tho
But why? Samus isn't defined by her normal Varia suit look for a long time now.Oh for sure. And I would much rather see a new suit.
I just know Nintendo ain't gonna let that happen in our first look at the game lmao
The marketing and art stuff for all the Prime games are pretty much exclusively in the Varia Suit if I'm not mistaken. I imagine they'll want that recognizability again.But why?
Retro has been quite faithful in adapting this look for 3D, but I find the Other M and Samus Returns takes on the Varia Suit to be a George Lucas-esque attempt at tampering with something that really didn't need to be tampered with. If you wanna do new things with Samus's look, make entirely new suits!
wouldn't bet on that after Dread. If they have a cool story reason for a new suit they will show it in the trailer for sure.The marketing and art stuff for all the Prime games are pretty much exclusively in the Varia Suit if I'm not mistaken. I imagine they'll want that recognizability again.
Sure we'll get cool new suits in the game proper though
I hope they don't redesign the Varia Suit again, just for the hell of it. Retro made some adjustments between Prime 1 and 2 (which I consider improvements), but then the Prime 2 look went on to be used in 3, and Federation Force, so it's been fairly consistent, which I appreciate!
I dunno, I just feel almost as though the Varia Suit is tampered with too often. Metroid 2 already got it right, a looooong time ago:

It just depends on when in the timeline they set the game and if it continues to be some kind of largely seperate narrative from the events of Fusion onward.wouldn't bet on that after Dread. If they have a cool story reason for a new suit they will show it in the trailer for sure.
But tbh I don't care either way. Just wanna know the scope of the game, the scale, the locations etc.
