Slow Sunday, so just curious about people's opinions here - do you think Metroid Prime 4 will be numbered as it currently is, or will it simply have a subtitle/succeeding word (Metroid Prime: <Something>) instead?
Arguments in favor of both:
Subtitle:
- Newer players are less intimidated to start at this entry, not thinking that there are 3 other titles they need to catch up on first
- Can break a bit more from conventions of the current Metroid Prime series. Numbering just subconsciously ties it more so to what came before.
Number:
- Series convention
- May be easier to signal 'mainline' entry.
I personally think it makes more sense to just go with a subtitle and essentially 'reboot' Metroid Prime in that way. But interested to hear what you guys think.
