| mountaindewslave said: Monolith is nowhere near the level of Retro despite the fanboys of the recent Xenoblade voting Monolith has neither created an all time great title (relatively speaking it is insignificant next to something like Metroid Prime) nor has it dealt with more than one large IP. credit to them but it's not even a question |
It's really a question of taste, but I prefer both Xenoblade to Metroid Prime.
But trying to speak objectively, Retro Studio was considered as one of the greatest studios in the world when they were releasing the Prime games. TTheir standing has been hurt despite releasing two great 2D platformers. Not because they were bad, but because people expected bigger things.
And as much as we like 2D platformers, doing a game like Xenoblade X is 5 times the work in scale of doing a game like DKTF. The world, the story, the cutscenes, the items, the characters , the text...
It seems to me that Retro should already have launched their new game since TF or it should at least be near the end of developpement and laready shown to us.
I thinkI will pick up DKTF this year especially seeing as the year will be half empty. It released when I didn't have a Wii U and never felt like it was urgent to buy it. The anticipation was much bigger for Xenoblade X.
