Prime isn't a traditional FPS and can hardly be called an FPS. You spend more of the game exploring than shooting. It's just a 2D Metroid game in 3D and FP perspective, it's literally Super Metroid with a different viewpoint. It would be like calling Super Metroid a Run n Gun like Contra. Prime is still a fantastic game. Prime 3 was amazing. 2 is Divisive and I didn't like it but had some cool stuff. Prime was originally going to be a 3rd person game and glad it wasn't. For the atmosphere, Metroid generates being in Samus helmet for 3D is the best option. Retro will no doubt make a great game in MP4. Certainly better than a 4th rate studio like Ninja Theory who fucked up DmC. Could not make a good shooter in Bleeding Edge. Team Ninja failed at Metroid. Itagaki failed to make his own action game without Tecmo. Didn't go well.
