How many Metroid Prime games do you think we'll see?

I expect they'll at minimum stick with Metroid Prime 4 simply because of the wait and hype associated with that name, but a change after that would be nice (he says as he loads up Final Fantasy 14).

That would really disappoint me. The Prime story is finished, so a continuation of that makes no narrative sense. I think people are smart enough to understand what a game is without needing a literal reference. Bioshock Infinite didn't need a 3 and neither did the Witcher. As long as the gameplay looks like it's from the same series, that's all I think should matter. I get it for this presentation, but going forward I hope the name changes. If the conflict is between Sylux and Samus now, and not Dark Samus or the Metroid Prime anymore, the name should reflect that.

The Halo story was finished with 3 too, but they decided to bring the franchise back with a second trilogy because they couldn't resist the sales/money. I assume it'll be the same with this.
