He’s going to make us care.Does anyone give a shit about Sylux as a character? I feel like Tanabe thinks people care about Sylux when most people don't.
Yeah and admittedly we haven't had any inkling of what their intention of him as a character will be. We're working on super outdated assumptions based on a low poly DS game with little to no depth.That's the thing: he's such a blank slate, that I can't really get too upset that they're choosing to shine a spotlight on him, in Prime 4. They can do whatever the hell they want with the character, really, including (hopefully) giving him a visual redesign. I don't find Metroid Prime Hunters to be the greatest game, but if all they're taking from it is this glorified multiplayer skin of a character, I'm totally cool with that.
Really cool addition to the lore! I downloaded it but haven't had the chance to play it yet. When I finally do, will definitely be thinking of Fami!To add to the Fami lore that Belly dropped, a few pages back: not only was this the first thread ever posted to Fami...
...But the Metroid Dread ST was the first ST for a new game on the site, as well:
Metroid Dread |ST| The Chozon One
famiboards.com
(Yes, still proud of this one)
The takeaway? Metroid (Dread specifically) is awesome, and significant, in the site's history
And that's my thing: Sylux is such a nothing character at the moment, that they really can do anything with him. Retro and Tanabe know he's got a tough act to follow after the likes of Raven Beak, and especially their own Metroid Prime/Dark Samus. I'd like to think all this Thanos-style buildup will lead somewhere.That's the thing: he's such a blank slate, that I can't really get too upset that they're choosing to shine a spotlight on him, in Prime 4.

Hilariously with his current iteration I strongly feel that this would be in-character for himI hope they give Sylux a fedora.
I have no idea who Sylux is
You have no idea how much it comforts me to know I'm not the only one who dislikes Grimdark Vegetavoice The HedgehogHe's like the Shadow the Hedgehog of Metroid to me, he gives me serious edge for the sake of edge vibes, and not just because he's made of sharp polygons.

Any objections mlady
"Definitely, still, F my life..."
They were not hitting at 100 with those hunter designs, let's just say that much. I'm actually surprised Retro had a hand in designing them, 'cuz for the longest time, I found most of them pretty uggo, whereas the hunters featured in Prime 3 are actually quite cool looking, imo (Rundas especially).Yeah and admittedly we haven't had any inkling of what their intention of him as a character will be. We're working on super outdated assumptions based on a low poly DS game with little to no depth.
I just definitely think he's going to need a very substantial redesign and fleshing out to be compelling, at least to me personally. His Hunters iteration looks like someone's fanon OC.
I'd say Weavel has the best design, but he's also basically just wearing a Power Suit, with some embellishments:
Wait, people like Shooterskates McHedgehog?You have no idea how much it comforts me to know I'm not the only one who dislikes Grimdark Vegetavoice The Hedgehog
At least Weavel had a reasonable motivation, and one I actually liked. "That's the ***** that blew me in half!"I'd say Weavel has the best design, but he's also basically just wearing a Power Suit, with some embellishments
Hahaha!Any objections mlady
My guess it’s NateOkay it's totally fucking Jon. Either him or @Raccoon
And that's what made him "work", in my eyes.I'd say Weavel has the best design, but he's also basically just wearing a Power Suit, with some embellishments:
Oh god, don't speak of Science Team(tm)'s last major project...And that's what made him "work", in my eyes.
So long as the Space Pirates on the Prime side are portrayed as an actual competent paramilitary force that was actively designing and reverse-engineering Chozo tech, a bootleg Power Suit made a lot of sense.
He'd be nice to see again, too. Especially if the Prime series ever gets to move to a point in time where Weavel may likely be the last Pirate left. Or at least, certainly Science Team(tm)'s last major project.
True. Gotta love an adversary that maintains consistency with established series lore.And that's what made him "work", in my eyes.

I'm keeping my window open tonight to guarantee tweets in the morningSo, Where's the hype at? What, nobody thinks Nintendo will tweet tomorrow?
What kind of sick tweet speculation thread is this with nobody hyping up tweets?! Fml
I just hope they're not a secret sibling.When Sylux is revealed in Prime 4 with an awesome revitalized design and is revealed to be a badass woman rival in the suit just like Samus, then you’ll all see…
This was about to be my EXACT response lmaoI just hope they're not a secret sibling.
Yeah I can see thatI just hope they're not a secret sibling.
hey it's me ur brother / sister, John / Jane AranThis was about to be my EXACT response lmao
I will jeer so fucking hard
"We think Mary/Gary Sue Aran will be a compelling character for both new and old fans of the Metroid franchise"hey it's me ur brother / sister, John / Jane Aran
Or perhaps that ofScenario: Sylux is Samus' sibling, but in the sense that they're
Raven Beak's child
The only issue I'd foresee with this is that it'd be weird having yet another Samus mirror / analog as a primary villain, on top of Dark Samus, and the SA-X.Sylux needs to be revealed to be a woman.
I'm dying on this hill.
Nice Guy Sylux: "All Metroids are queens"Please let Nice Guy Sylux be the next Tax Dodging Yoshi
Fixed to make it fit a bit more what I'd like to see.Sylux needs to be revealed to be a black woman.
I'm dying on this hill.
Hahaha!
He's weirdly popular in the fandom. He was even revealed to be in the next movie, due to his popularity. Meanwhile I'm like Mugatu feeling like I'm taking crazy pills hereWait, people like Shooterskates McHedgehog?
el oh elCould be a coincidence but JON YOU FUCKINGSON OF A BITCH!!
Picking out a VA for her, Jacqueline Boatswain (Eileen the Crow, in Bloodborne) or Pippa Bennett-Warner (Malenia, in Elden Ring) would convey the appropriate level of gravitas, I think.Fixed to make it fit a bit more what I'd like to see.
Not only so Samus can hopefully have another lasting rival (however much of antagonistic relationship it truly ends up being), but maybe, just maybe, Nintendo can FINALLY have a legit black lady as a main within its patheon.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite casting on FamiboardsPicking out a VA for her, Jacqueline Boatswain (Eileen the Crow, in Bloodborne) or Pippa Bennett-Warner (Malenia, in Elden Ring) would convey the appropriate level of gravitas, I think.
I really hope Jennifer Hale is Samus.

Tanabe's referred to sylux with he in recent (2016) interviews, anything could change at this point.Sylux will reveal herself as a woman at the end of the game would be so great. Hitting the history of the series.
Yeah. I might be wrong, but wasn’t Samus referred to as “he” in the manual?Tanabe's referred to sylux with he in recent (2016) interviews, anything could change at this point.
