If you would have actually read the article I posted, you would have seen that it was an article made by Nintendo Power who most likely have talked with the developers of Retro Studios in an interview and they said that Metroid Prime was influenced by Goldeneye 007. |
An impressive leap in logic! Wait, no, it's an egregious affront to honest discussion to pretend that this list is "most likely" citing an interview with Retro Studios where Goldeneye is named as a major influence. Cite the source for that claim and you can get somewhere.
Until that time, the point remains that Metroid Prime has two major influences: Super Metroid (structurally) and Ocarina of Time (mechanically). The game wasn't even intended to be first-person originally, so its perspective concept being owed to Goldeneye is already off the table.
